Current kpop favourites!

Hey everyone!
I'm one of those people who love listening to music while studying. Or doing homework. Or anything, really. I know some people (like my mom) really can't understand how we focus if we're listening to music, but for some of us, it actually prepares the brain for work. Okay, maybe if it were in English, the lyrics might distract me a bit....WELL GOOD THING IT'S NOT ENGLISH.

Quick FAQ
Q. Do you listen to your own songs?
A. Rarely. I have no problem with SERA00 songs that I'm not it but um....yeah it's kinda weird listening to myself sing?

Here are a sampling of my current favourites! (I have tons of songs that I love that would never all fit in one post) Not all of them are extremely recent, but they're just ones that have stuck in my head the past few days. They aren't in any particular order.


2PM - Go Crazy!
It was 2PM that brought me into kpop, and so they continue to be one of my favourite groups. They recently came back with GO CRAZY! composed and produced by one of the members, Jun. K. 2PM looked like they had tons of fun in this chaotic electronic track, and the crazy dance moves are sure to get you moving ;)



Girl's Generation TTS - Holler
One of the most anticipated comebacks this month. TaeTiSeo's new track "Holler" easily reached a million views in less than a day. The girls show you how they've matured and improved since the Twinkle era with this flashy song.



INFINITE - Back
I am very impressed with this song. I am rarely able to find a song that I like after the first listening. Usually, it takes a couple of listens for me to start liking the song (see Twinkle below). However, this song was just so beautiful, both in the musical and performance aspect, that I immediately loved it. It only took until "can you save me" for me to fall in love with this song!
 



Super Junior - Mamacita
Oh Super Junior... Your songs are always so weird, so Super Junior-ish. I don't know why I like you. But I do. What else is there to say? THAT IS ENOUGH!



Henry - Trap
Ah, the multi-talented Henry who comes from my (and SERA00)'s home town :) I want his amazing piano skills! I'm not exactly sure why I like this song, so I can't say much other than the fact that it is a very very very very catchy song.



Girl's Day - Female President
I absolutely love this powerful, upbeat, sexy track. Everything from the music to the girls to the choreography, this song exudes an I-know-I'm-awesome vibe, perfect for a group of female presidents-to-be!



Taeyeon - I Love You
Taeyeon - the leader of Girl's Generation (SNSD), a stunning girl, and an amazing singer. Taeyeon's voice suits this slow love ballad perfectly. The emotion she is capable of delivering through her voice is second to none. I love every single second of this beautiful song.



IU - Good Day
This girl is also an amazing singer, but opposite Taeyeon, she has a very charming, innocent, fantasy-like vibe in her music. Stay tuned until the end for IU's famous three-step high notes! Which, might I add, many have tried to replicate on variety shows and....uh...well it makes for quite some funny scenes!



Girl's Generation TTS - Twinkle
Twinkle. A song that has 50+ million views on YouTube. The girls are fabulous and they know it in this sparkly music video. EXO fans might recognize it as the song that features Chanyeol, Kai, Sehun, and Baekhyun in the music video. Wow, this song took maybe around ten listens for me to start liking it. But now I LOVE it <3 I thought the melody was really odd-sounding at first, but trust me. It sticks in your mind like super glue.



Jin - Gone
Jin's Gone is a beautiful song with a touching music video starring EXO's Xiumin and actress Kim Yoo Jung. The song itself is one that sounds effortlessly impressive, showcasing Jin's smooth vocals. The music video was a real gem though - prepare to go through a mini-heartbreak. Nevertheless, don't let that stop you from watching it!



EXO - Peter Pan
Huge EXO fan here. When a group makes a comeback, I don't usually listen any songs other than the title track. Well, here's a non-title track named Peter Pan. The simplicity of this song is its charm - the ability to tell an inspiring story effortlessly. I really started liking this song after understanding the meaning of the lyrics (because we all want Peter Pan to be our boyfriend :P).


Please take a look at these awesome songs, and please support SERA00!

School Life

Hey everyone!
Long time no see!
...long time no connect?
...long time no write...
...long time no read...?

Okay, I'm going to be honest with you guys. I don't have a lot of posts planned, nor do I have a lot of time to write posts. Why?
I love being an idol. Entertaining people makes me happy, so let's make this clear - I have no plans of quitting being an idol.
Phew, breathe a sigh of relief, right? I'm not graduating or not blogging any more or anything like that :)
However, that being said, I had a talk with "the adults" and we concluded that it might be useful for me to further my education a bit. I don't know why I agreed -_- but I actually dropped out of SERA00 tutor school and enrolled in an IB school. It's not that SERA00 provides bad education - it's actually pretty good - but rather that IB education will allow me to expand my options and opportunities globally if I ever choose to do so in the future.
I don't know why I ever agreed. The workload is humongous and I'm still trying to find a balance between school life and idol life. But I chose this myself, so I have to see it through to the end. So while I do this, please bear with the lack of updates. I can't promise a specific date that I'll be back on track, but I hope it's soon.
If you guys have any ideas at all about what I can blog about, and what would interest you guys, please comment below. I will take all suggestions seriously.

Anyways, on a happier note, check out Red Velvet's debut song, Happiness!
