So, Awesome KPop Songs (The Beginner's Guide)

The videos go in chronological-ish order. I also tried to find videos with translations. The ones in italics are my absolute favorites and I hope you at least watch those.

2PM:

I love 2PM, but I have trouble taking them seriously sometimes. I'm pretty sure they do it on purpose.



"I'll Be Back" --Make sure you watch the whole thing because there's something cool at the end.

"Take Off" --This song is actually in Japanese.

"Hands Up" --Turn on the captions for the translation.

Big Bang:

Big Bang is one of my favorite groups.



"With U" --This is in English and it's sort of hilarious and awesome.


"Gara Gara Go" --In Japanese





G-Dragon:

G-Dragon is one of the members of Big Bang.

"This Love" --The video is for the Korean version, but the song is in English.


"Breathe" --That's his dog in the video.

"The Leaders" --Features Teddy and CL (She's in 2NE1)

T.O.P.:

Another member of Big Bang.


Seungri:

Yet another member of Big Bang.

"Strong Baby" --Features G-Dragon


Taeyang:

Still from Big Bang. He's also some kind of Korean Usher.



"I Need a Girl" --Features G-Dragon.

"I'll Be There" --In English.

Daesung:

The final member of Big Bang.


GD&TOP:

G-Dragon and T.O.P. from Big Bang.

"High High" --Look at all them white girls.

"Knock Out" --Banned in Korea because of the slang in it. Make sure captions are on.

"Don't Go Home" --Translations in the captions.

"Baby Good Night" --Parts of this are in French.

Se7en:

"Girls" --Features Lil Kim and is English.


"Digital Bounce" --Features T.O.P.

2NE1:

"Lollipop" --Features Big Bang



"Can't Nobody" --In English.


MBLAQ:



Block B:

This is a brand new group. They debuted a few months ago.




f(x):


"Nu ABO" --"Unni" is what a girl calls an older girl.


"Hot Summer" --This is a new favorite.

Beast:





"Bad Girl" --This is the Japanese version. I wouldn't put the same song twice, but it's really cute.


Miss A:



Dalmatian:



Rania:


"Masquerade" --In English.

SHINee:




"So Sick" --Yes, it's a Ne-Yo cover. It's beautiful.


"Lucifer" --This is the dance version. They are amazing dancers.


"Replay" --Japanese version. It really shows how much they've grown.

ZE:A:


TVXQ!:

"Mirotic" --Banned in Korea for the words "I've got you under my skin."

"Mirotic" --Dance version. I couldn't just pick one version. Both are so sexy.



SM The Ballad:

This is a group of four guys from different groups on the same label. They only have one album.


Super Junior:






"Boom Boom" --Not the whole song, but you get the idea.


Super Junior-M:

Sub-group of Super Junior. They sing in Chinese. Two of the members, Zhou Mi and Henry, are only in SJM.



"Me" --Actually, this version is in Korean.


Super Junior-H

They're kind of goofy, but that's the point.



Teen Top:

Teen Top are infants.



"Don't Spray Perfume" --Really, we should be offended by this song, but they're so damn cute. Also, 'noona' is what a boy calls an older girl.

U-Kiss:

U-Kiss is my favorite group.





"Shut Up!" --"Oppa" is what a girl calls an older guy.

"Everyday" --Not the whole song.


Also, I get my downloads from Asia Pop Addiction. It's a lovely site.

Okay, I hope this was a good intro!
