[GET THE LOOK] Super Junior's Donghae & Eunhyuk - 'Growing Pains' MV



Read on UnitedKpop

Many of the Get the Looks we feature often cater to a more female audience with the odd item suited towards males. However this time around, we are giving the boys a chance to shine using Super Junior’s Donghae and Eunhyuk’s ‘Growing Pains’ MV as our source of inspiration! (Girls, you can still wear this stuff though of course, but pretend this is just for the guys - shh!)

[OP-ED] Amber Liu: A refreshing perspective in the K-Pop world



Read on UnitedKpop

When you consider the term ‘female K-Pop idol’, what sort of image comes to mind? A very, slim, long-haired, pretty woman in a sparkly short dress and some ‘killer’ high heels, perhaps? That’s what I see, at least. The majority of female idols do indeed conform somewhat to this imagery – forced to reveal their ridiculous dietary and beauty tips to the world every time they are promoting and often portraying a very glamourous, yet timid and cute persona.

Of course, I am generalising an awful lot here, as not all the women of K-Pop fit into this box, However, after prolonged exposure to these sorts of themes as a long-time K-Pop fan, you begin to see the similarities and over-compartmentalise things a bit. That’s why f(x) member Amber Liu makes me glad.

[PLAYLIST] K-drama Songs!



Read on UnitedKpop


South Korean drama series enjoy a widespread popularity throughout Asia as well as globally. The tumultuous and occasionally strange storylines intrigue viewers, not to mention the complex love triangles, comedy and usually great-looking casts.


Soundtracks for these dramas also often enjoy a popularity all of their own, successfully tugging at our heartstrings and getting firmly stuck in our heads. It is common to have drama OSTs taking up space on our mp3 players soon after watching a particular series. They have a unique ability to bring back all the emotions the show made you experience while watching. We have compiled our own selection for this month's playlist, do your favourites feature?
