Artist of the Week |페이버릿 (FAVORITE)

It’s been a while since I highlighted a kpop group as an artist of the week so this week I went on a search to find a group that I hadn’t really listened to before and share them with you. Now, this is not a new group but they’re “semi-new” to me. I’ve heard them before but never really listened to their music. I decided to change that today and I’m glad I did!

We all need a distraction right? So why not get distracted with new music!! It just so happens that they released a new song about a week or so ago and soooo that makes this post even more perfect right?!

The group I will be highlighting today is…. 페이버릿 (FAVORITE)! A girl group signed to Astory Entertainment. They debuted in 2017 with the song “Party Time” and have since released 3 mini albums. They have a very cute pop sound and their videos are just cinematic. I’ll definitely be adding them to my radar.

Excuse me while I go do some more searching for other kpop groups I’ve been missing out on… 

However, in the meantime, if you haven’t heard of 페이버릿 (FAVORITE), check out the sample playlist below!

Reading and Listening in Korean Practice | iKON-ON: Bobby & Ju-Ne ‘깊은 밤’ MAKING FILM

Okay so I was just scrolling through YouTube today when I ran across this video. Normally, I kinda just watch them and then move on to find some more new music but I noticed something about this video that I really wanted to share with you guys.

Maybe you’ve been searching for ways to practice reading in Korean or even working on your listening but the things you’ve been finding aren’t all that interesting or maybe they’re not something you would use in everyday speech. Well, this is a video I thought would be helpful.

Sometimes I find makeup tutorials like this and share them when I find them because for the beauty gurus that follow me but also want to practice Korean, it’s super helpful! And this is no different, especially if you’re a fan of iKON.

The video is completely in Korean but it has built-in subtitles, that are in Korean to help you follow along if you’re working on listening and/or reading. To help you out some for words you may not understand, just click the CC button for English translation. This video is also subtitled in Japanese so you can switch to that translation as well.

Challenge:

Try to watch it first without the subtitles and then go back again with the CC on and see how much you understood!

New Music Update! | [Videos]

I haven’t done one of these in a while and since I spent a good portion of the afternoon just listening to a lot of music and watching music videos, I decided to share some of my favorite new music so far!

New Music Alert! [Videos]

I haven’t done this in a while but sometimes while I’m just kinda relaxing on a lazy Saturday, I’ll just click on the recommended videos on YouTube and I’m always happy to hear the new music. Sometimes I get to hear new artists that I’ve never heard of before and sometimes it’s familiar faces with a creative visual for new music.
