Se7en Debut Date Finally Set

Se7en, who’s been set to debut for seemingly forever, has finally had a release date set!

The track “Girls” ft Lil Kim which was leaked months ago will drop on Valentines day.

YG Entertainment released the following statement:

“Se7en will finally make his US Debut with the digital single “Girls,” on February 14th. The music video for “Girls” will also be released on the same day.

I was never crazy about the song but I never thought it was terrible either. Best wishes to Se7en.

Perez Hilton fancies another KPOP artist (SeungRi from Big Bang)

Infamous blogger of the stars Perez Hilton has featured another KPOP artist on his page. Young SeungRi from Big Bang recently started his solo activities and has caught the attention of Perez. Source: AllKPop

Perez is known to also fancy the Wonder Girls, Uhm Jung Hwa & Hyori.

Now I admit the song is pretty catchy but I can’t decide whether the MV is a rip off or a tribute to all of Justin Timberlake’s latest work.

As one other blogger put it:

The theme of the music video was basically “Sexyback” video. When he does the dancing with the backup dancers had the same layout like “My Love” and the female dancers with the mask (also girl driving him in the car) 50 Cent’s “Ayo Technology”.

Oh well, regardless it’s good to see an asian artist getting some shine with a western audience. Racist comments aside.

Two Cents: YMGA needs to fire somebody

YMGA (Young Men Gangsta’s Association), YG Entertainment’s newest act, recently had it’s debut on SBS InkiGayo with their single Tell It To My Heart. They had a humorous faux pas involving some scrolling text displays and an unparsed repitition of their group name.

Maybe it’s me being immature but I think that’s pretty funny.

credit: Bump This

Based on recent videos released by YG Entertainment and Red Queen Media, KPOP singer Se7en looks to still be preparing for his US debut. Although his release date has been pushed back several times, it appears as if things are falling into place for the r&b singer albeit slowly. Whether or not he will be able to make an impact only time will tell but aTunes wishes him the best. Plus, dare I say, his english is markedly better then a certain other US aspiring KPOP star. *cough* Rain *cough*

videos after the jump.
