Got 7 minutes to know them?

When you think about JYP the first thing that comes to your mind is 2pm, MissA, 2am, Wonder Girls and perhaps their new artists Baek Ah Yeon, 15& and Sunmi ( former Wonder Girls' member ). Another thing that also comes to your mind is the famous 'half air - half sound' phrase and of course the 'JYP'~ whisper.

Back to being serious now, JYP had debuted in 2012 a very promising duo boy group called JJ Project. JJ Project made a fuzz around their name probably because of their hit debut song Bounce. But that was it. Apart from their debut song they didn't release any other single, mini album or digital single. Many fans were curious about what was going to happen because in 2013 there weren't any JJ Project promotions. There were many speculations that JJ Project was just that - a project - to see if they will do well or not. And because they did very good, the two JJ Project's members, JB and Jr., are now in a new JYP boy group who goes by the name Got7.

I must say that Got7 is probably one of the most anticipating rookie groups of 2014. ( Another boy group is YG's Winner but I'm gonna write about them when they will make their official debut ). Got7 are being introduced as an acrobatic - hip hop boy group and I couldn't agree more. All you have to do is to see any performances they did on any Music Show you want and you will agree too. 

Their debut song is perfect. I think I wasn't the only one that shook her head up and down when the music video started. Seriously now those skater - scooter - I - don't - know - how - to - call - them are brilliant. Who wouldn't like to wonder around the city like this? The plot of the mv is simple. 7 regular high school boys have a secret : They are Idols after school and thus when their handphones rang, well, they have to go their busy schedule really quick. But instaed of going to practice ( maybe ? ) they go in another secret place located in an mysterious store. At this point we have to send a thank you card to the girl that followed them because one of the boys - Idols, dropped accidentally his bracelet. But besides that I don't think that the girl wouldn't follow them if she hadn't found that bracelet. They are handsome so that's a good reason too. 

Anyway back to the mv, the girl enters the secret place where she finds the boys just playing around and talking. Suddenly the music starts and we get to see an amazing choreography. The boys are really talented. I don't know what JYP told or gave them but those moves are Fantastic Baby! ( the YG references are not intentional ). I think the curl-your-fingers and the point-your-shoulder moves will be really polular. Also that slow motion cartwheel followed by two high jumps *-* No comment. I applaud you. I also like that when they dance, the camera splits into two and you get to see some other action besides the dance. A nice twist JYP. You totally GOT me. See what I just did there ? : P

To sum up, both the song and the mv are great and Got7 has potential to be the next big boy group. No wonder they have already made 10 advertisement deals.

P.S. I recommend the fan club's name to be : Lucky7. 

15& needs Somebody

15& came back to the music scene with a bold statement : They want somebody. They are gonna do anything to find one and since they are Idols, well the best way is to sing a song about it. Smart move!

Totally different from their debut track 'I Dream', 'Somebody' is a pop fun song to both listen and watch. Fans seem to share the same idea since upon its release the song did an 'all-kill' on music charts. No wonder why.

The song has a catchy vibe that will make you listen to it again and again. I like the tune at the beginning. It seems like it's a tune from a spy movie. ( I'm doing a good promotion here). The girls are able to show their vocals in this song but not so much though as in 'I Dream'. I don't think it's bad because I find it good to experiment with different types of songs and music and not just stick to one.

The mv's theme is about the show which helped Park Ji Min be famous and be in JYP Entertainment. I'm talking about 'K-Pop Star' which in this case is called '15& Star'. We see Park Ji Min and Baek Yerin in two roles. The one is being the contestants and the other is being the judges. The judges are referring to the big three companies but with their names changed as well. So we have SN, YZ and JMP.

 

The girls managed to imitate the judges really well, especially YG and JYP. The mv has some funny moments in it such as the over excited contestant who is begging them to give him a chance, the JMP judge putting a lipstick and even the real JYP making an appearance! I find it very funny that they cut him off and they comforted him at the end. We also can see Baek Ah Yeon when the judges are mesmerized by her performance. I wondered why they didn't pass some other contestants. They seem pretty good.

The choreography isn't difficult but instead is easy to follow. The body rolling and the small arm movements at the chorus will probably be the new dance when we will listen to the word 'somebody'. The clothes are bright with lines and geometrical patterns as we saw on the posters.

So, click the play button and start to sing 'I want somebody, body'!
