Music Monday: Hyun Bin, Seungri

012411 / Books & Music / 2 comments

Two songs to blog about today –

First up is 그남자 (That Man) by Hyun Bin (현빈), a song from his most recent drama Secret Garden‘s soundtrack…which may unremarkable to some until you realize that the man is an actor that actually has a really good singing voice. Seriously, genes can be unfair — you look like that (the gorgeous guy on the left), date one of the most gorgeous women in the world, are one of the most revered actors in your country, have thousands of loyal fans, etc. etc.

Sigh.

Second up is a more catchy tune that I haven’t been able to get out of my head — VVIP by Seungri (승리). It’s got a Justin Timberlake/Taio Cruz feel, and he’s recently been compared to Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber (which honestly is an insult to him in terms of being Korea’s Justin Bieber — but I hate Justin Bieber). PLAY IT.

    THAT’S HIS VOICE (Re: Hyun Bin)?? <3

    Thanks for the Seungri rec again! I love that track and along with "어쩌라고" (whatever it is in English xD) and "White Love."

    @Chrizta: YES. So much perfection is unfair. He’s like Jang Geun Seok, but a million times better (imo, but you might think otherwise) :p Speaking of which — did you know JGS is preparing to debut as a singer?

    And haha we totally have the same music tastes. Those are my favorites off his mini-album!
