SISTAR to come back on April 12th, and they apparently shot their music video in Las Vegas. Let’s hope it’s better than the last Kpop music video shot in The City of Sin

/shade.

SM’s debuted artists to become shareholders of the company.

Rookie Spotlight:
Well of course, you have to know this will be SPICA. If you follow me (Dame Dr Foxy Brown) on Twitter, I’ve only been going slightly insane in the past few days over SPICA. We both showed little to no interest in this B2M group (same company as Lee Hyori, Kim Kyu Jong and Heo Youngsaeng) after they started off with Potently & Russian Roulette, both lackluster songs for a debut, though good in their own right. However, with their repackage, they unloaded on us what easily should’ve been their debut track, Painkiller. I could gush here about how much I love the song, but I think we mention that enough times in the actual recording. This fivesome is made up of Kim BoA, Park Juhyun, Park Narae, Yang Jiwon (formerly of Battle Shinhwa’s/Good Entertainment’s Five Girls & T-ARA) and Kim BoHyung.

These girls can SANG, and they’re easy on the eyes too.
