You are to provide the products to review on your own (Pay for them yourself). You can blog about the latest Korean/Japanese trends in Fashion or Beauty. You may also film your own K-Pop/J-Pop inspired looks with approval of head admins.

Foodie: FOOD FOOD FOOD! This is probably one of the most filling positions. Doing Reviews on Korean/Japanese dishes and restaurants. Cooking and Recipes. Write a blog on how you feel about that certain dish, restaurant, and/or recipe. Don’t limit yourself to trying the same dish at 4 different restaurants. Be open to try new things, even if they seem gross at first. Exploring the world via food is something a lot of people look forward too. ( Also must pay for meals on your own)

J/K-Pop Blogger: The Hallyu/Cool Japan wave has taken over, and we need someone’s help to control it! When Debuts and Comebacks happen, it’s hard to find out information on groups. Being a J/K-Pop blogger, you would give out all the details on new comebacks and debutes, also info on Concerts/tours that would be coming to the US.

Hip Hop Unit: Japanese and Korean Hip Hop is slowly coming to light, this also means the underground. This requires a lot of knowledge on underground music and learning to contact new artists in helps of spreading their music.

OTHERS: 

Album Reviews: Collecting Albums is a big part of the Hallyu/Cool Japan community. Reviewing these albums or filming Album unboxings is something a lot of fans look for before buying albums. You would be in charge of contacting Album merchants to get coupon codes, potential giveaway products, and in helps to find the best store to get albums.

Conventionist: Do you like to Cosplay or attend conventions? This is perfect for you. This group would be in charge of being press at a convention. Which means you get to enjoy all aspects of the con, view the panels and events you wish to see, but also potentially contact and talk with voice actors, con leaders and famous cosplayers about their work.

Concert Press: Unfortunately, Small groups like ourselves are likely to only get 1-2 press passes per concert. If the concert allows photography, you can do this from anywhere in the Venue. We would like our Press to have good cameras/photography skills. You would also need to talk with the rest of the group on which 1 or 2 get the pass. Write a blog about the concert, include set list.

Performance Unit: Is Performing your passion? We have a lot of events that LOVE to see performing arts. This includes Singing, Dancing, and story time acting. We prefer to stick to covering songs and dances. Story Time Acting is reading a story (i.e. Korean/Japanese History, Korean/Japanese Myths, and/or Korean/Japanese children stories) as the Narrator, and Characters. Think of it as voice acting a short story. This ranges from teaching classes, performing at events, covering dances, and blogging about them. Each performance will be recorded and uploaded to the youtube page. This group can also contact cover groups for interviews (i.e. Chad Future, Gemini, ect.)
You can have a group outside of UF, and upload your own content and be partnered with us. We would help you be able to do performances at events. If you partner with us, and say you wanna do an EXO dance, but only have 4 members, you would talk to the rest of the unit and see if anyone else would like to join in.

Event Volunteer: So you read through the list and don’t feel that you fit well into any of the groups. An Event Volunteer will help out with Events we host. This means helping setting up and packing up. You are also the groups Hype Man, you give the ques on went to clap, laugh or join it. You will also be in charge of taking photos of the other members, friends and fans at these public events. Remember each group as full access to being a Facebook Page Admin.

Q&A: 

How many positions can I apply for?
As of right now, for people starting out, only 1-3. We do not want you to feel overwhelmed and stuck doing something you don’t wanna do. 

Do you have an Age limit?
We prefer you to be over the age of 15, because most concerts are at night, and we don’t want your parents to worry, also you would need approval from Parents to post videos and to attend events. 

Do we get paid?
Sadly, no. We are working toward slowly making money to at least get concert/convention tickets for everyone in the group. 

Do I have to know how to speak Japanese or Korean? 
No! You only need to speak English, and if you do choose to do anything in Japanese and/or Korea, make sure it is correct. 

I wanna be a foodie, but I’m a picky eater.. 
That is totally okay! You can try foods and stuff that you are comfortable with! We won’t force you to eat meat if you are vegan, or eat something you think isn’t good.

You can apply here.

Great Introduction KHIPHOP artists

List: Top 5 K-HIP HOP artists you should listen to get into it!

This list is in no particular order:

#5. DPR LIVE

Song:  DPR LIVE – CHEESE AND WINE

https://youtu.be/kFDg7HoLXyI

 

DPR Live is semi-new in the Khiphop realm but he really hit it off. DPR Live is very popular for good reason. Good beats? Check. Good Flow? Check. Catchy? Definitely. He really knows what he’s doing and it shows. DPR Live is a great starting point in khiphop because it is rap but it isn’t harsh and is pleasant to listen to. I always try to recommend him to my kpop friends.

 

#4. Dean

Song: Dean – Instagram

https://youtu.be/wKyMIrBClYw

 

Dean is a staple of krnb and has been for years. He has such an amazing voice and he uses it well. He does many collabs that are all so uniquely beautiful—my favorite being his collab with Suran, 1+1=0. Dean is a great way to get into krnb because he opens the door to many other artists you probably didn’t know. He is really amazing at what he does.

 

#3. GRAY (and an honorable mention Loco)

Song: Loco and Gray – Late Night

https://youtu.be/lCMfByr–_w

 

Gray is an amazing krnb/khiphop artist that got more well known by being on Show Me the Money 5 (an amazing show btw). He is from the company AOMG (started by Jay Park and Simon Dominic) which is home to many great artists. Gray and Loco are an amazing starting point because they show you the world that is AOMG and they are truly amazing singers and rappers.

 

#2. Zion.T

Song: Zion.T – The Song

https://youtu.be/ecxzqqHwe-4

 

Zion.T is my personal favorite krnb artist because of his great voice and music videos. He is always seen in sunglasses in his videos which I think is kind of nice in a strange way. Zion.T is a great way to get into krnb because he is a classic artist that really knows what he is doing and makes amazing songs only.

 

#1. Crush

Song: Crush – Woo Ah

https://youtu.be/6CM5iC_isug

 

Speaking of Classic Krnb artists, Crush! He is another staple of this genre. He has so many hits, it’s incredible. Crush has an absolutely amazing voice. He also does amazing collabs. Another thing about Crush is he can do any type of song: ballad, fast, anything and it will sound good. He is a good starting point because he is just a truly talented man.

[Music] MinJoon’s Monthly Top 10 – July 2018

It’s now July, and the heat is kicking real hard in Vegas. Stay cool, stay hydrated. Let’s get onto our list shall we?

10. Samina – GUGUDAN SAMINA
I was a bit confused on if the sub unit was called Samina, or just the title was weird. So, looking into this, this sub unit is all the girls that participated in Produce 101 Season 1. There is a short scene where they all answer the phone, and each member has their own color; it honestly reminded me of Power Puff Girls, and their Emergency Phone. I thought it was kind of funny that the sign on the closed shop said “Sorry We’re Holiday!” The song and MV have this rockabilly vibe, almost a MAMAMOO powerhouse vintage feel, if ya get what I’m trying to say. Its a fun little vacation song, and I find it to be cute, and different from Gugudan’s usual style.

9. Oh My – SEVENTEEN
Leave it up to Seventeen to play with the aesthetics. Their MV’s are always artistic in some sort of way, though they don’t always tell a story, they are very pleasing to watch. I also like how they took on the dancing this time, with the different times of movement; reminds me of those soldier walks. I’m really glad they brought back the clouds, it brought back memories of Adore U. They honestly never fail to impress me with how much talent they really do have.

8. Retro Future – Triple H
The beginning of this music video kind of starts off looking like a purge movie, the show up at a couple’s house with masks and baseball bats, and ring the door bell, that seems to have a camera attached. The beginning also starts off with some Cha Cha Slide remix in the background, Well the trio makes it into the home and starts trashing it and playing around with the couple inside. The song itself has old funky beats and some new vibes, so it really fits with the title Retro Future; but we all know that if Hyuna is involved, its going to sound sexy as well. The MV also has a lot of ink spill filters to give it that old vibe as well, other than that it is very artistic.

7. I’m So Sick – Apink
I feel as this month is a more retro/vintage month. In this video we have a lot of VHS filters, Old box TVs, and film tape, that unfortunately is being more abused than looked at, such as sitting in a sink, or being touched with fingers. I really enjoy the chorus it gives the song a different kind of feel to it. The lyrics go on to talk about how they don’t have the same feelings they used to, but how they don’t really want it to end, though they cannot continue lying about their feelings. It also feels like the other person’s feelings has changed as well, they say “you call every night when your drunk and show no sign of sincerity” So it seems both sides are trying to hold on to feelings that are no longer there. 


6. Dance The Night Away – Twice
Now this MV confuses me a tad bit and I have been reading into some theories for it. So, the girls end up on a strange island, and they start building shelter and gathering food and all that, and thanks to their good effort, they have a party. Well notice how Nayeon, Momo, Mina, and Jungyeon are all wearing full black dresses that don’t seem to fit the time era of the rest of the outfits? And they also didn’t really help create the shelter and/or help getting food. Twice even mentioned that this was a bit of a Horror theme, but at first glance you really don’t notice much. Some have theories that those in black are ghosts, and are trying to keep the rest of the girls on the island. It’s also strange how in the beginning they are calling out for help, and waving out to the ocean for any sign of help, but at the end, when a cruise ship passes by the island, they go back to sleep and forget about it. What’s your take on this MV?

5. Ride on the Wind – KARD
I can always appreciate that KARD has a lot of choreography in their music videos, it really does tie the video together. I really like the summer beach vibes, it seems they honestly had a lot of fun filming this on the beach. To me the song sounds a bit like uncertainty in a relationship between friends potentially becoming lovers. The male part is asking how do I get into your heart, what am I not doing, I can wait; while the female part is asking, do you really like me, tell me you don’t hate me, and is all brought together with ‘Ride on the Wind’. Ride on the wind almost sounds like another way to say go with the flow, just let nature take its coarse.

4. Always You – ASTRO
Beautiful Astro, beautiful! I actually love this. Also I’m super excited about their hair colors this comeback, I have a soft spot in my heart for green hair. (if anyone remembers my hair was green for two years). This comeback has a lot of emotion in it, and I adore that ASTRO can always pull that off. The music video switches around from clear, black and white, to full colors and its very visually pleasing.

3. Egotistic – MAMAMOO
This song has a very Latin feel, but stays true to MAMAMOO’s unique style. They take on a very sensual feel to this MV; such as Hwasa in a bathing suit, Solar on a pole, the hip rolls, skit slits. I like that Moonbyul plays up her style a lot, between a Mariachi jacket to a very feminine two piece suit. You can also see more of Wheein’s tattoos, I’m not sure how many are hers or just for this comeback, but they suit her. I also like the new logo they are using.

2. Summer Night’s Dream – FTIsland
Wow oh Wow, Hongki is looking cute! The way he acts in this music video reminds me of the way he acted as Jeremy in You’re Beautiful; just that shy almost dorky cute love. I do believe the theme has a bit of a MidSummer Night’s Dream in it, with the soft focus, flowers and romance. They are even performing in a theatre.

1. Touch and Sketch – Leo
Wow oh wow. This is really sexy. I am extremely proud that Leo is doing a solo, he’s so passionate with his work, and it shows in Canvas. The video in short reminds me of “Paint me like one of your french girls.” It’s very sexy, lots of painting, amazing choreography, it’s awesome. You can also see how much Leo has broken out of his shell, and how much his acting comes out in this.

[Music] MinJoon’s Monthly Top 10 – May 2018

After taking a ridiculously long break from this, I thought it would be a grand idea if I sparked this flame back to life. It is now the end of a very hot May here in Las Vegas, which makes it a great time to sit back, have a lemonade and listen to some tunes. Just a reminder that being 1 on the list does not mean it’s better than number 10, its just numbered in the order that I remember them. Edit: I set this to be a scheduled post, but it never posted, so I’m sorry that it’s being posted late!

10. You and I – Dreamcatcher
Dreamcatcher is on point with their style for all of their comebacks. I love the darkness and the fashion they bring to the stage. They have a bunch of sounds that sound almost similar to Japanese Visual Kei Rock, which I adore because you are getting the best of both worlds.

9. Love Ya – Hyukoh
Okay I love this music video. It’s so cute, it’s filled with lovers of different ages, genders, races, and cultures. It’s super laid back, the set is like a get together, and I love the vintage style to it. Who doesn’t just love love? And there is a cute dog in it! It’s just a big party of love, romantic, platonic, and family Love.

8. How R U Today – N. Flying 
With beautiful scenic shots and a soft flow chill vibe, this MV is great. It’s got this soft blur focus and very aesthetic theme. I am digging the boost and blur filter through out the MV. I feel like I am going to sing this when I talk to people now, and I’m totally okay with that. I honestly love when MVs are shot out in nature, it just gives a good vibe.

7. Bingle Bangle – AOA
I am such a sucker for 8bit and video game themed MVs. This is super cute in how they incorporated the 8bit game characters into real live scenarios, instead of just making the whole MV in 8bit. Also, they are playing a game cube, that’s awesome!

6. OUTCAST – South Club
It seems this month was full of very vintage filters and styles in MV, which I love, I live for this aesthetic. Taehyun is wearing the boyfriend tee, its got a super chill laid back theme to the MV. It’s filmed outside, the girls in the MV are beautiful. I love this.

5. Dramatic – NTB
Again with the beautiful filters on these MVs, they are so aesthetically pleasing. This is my first time hearing of NTB, but I really dig this song, the dance has a lot of the popular moves in it, such as the shoot dance. Beautiful scenic shots, playful boy running the town shots; overall its cute and modern, and I find myself singing the chorus as I type this.

4. Bonnie N Clyde – 24K
I was honestly waiting for this comeback since Cory was dropping hints on his IG. I will admit, it wasn’t in till the second time listening to it that I started to like it; it is a lot all at once. I enjoy the car aspects in this MV, and as always, 24k always gets me with their dancing skills.

3. Selfish – Moonbyul of MAMAMOO ft. Seulgi of Red Velvet
In this MV I love that they brought in some of Red Velvet’s fashion style but MAMAMOO’s silly hang out type music video style. It’s a nice balance between the two girls. Also, more video games! I am glad to see Moonbyul finding her style as a rapper and stepping out to do her own song, she’s an amazing singer and rapper, so hopefully this shows the world that it’s okay that she is selfish with her talents and how she uses them.

2. Good Evening – SHINee
This song has such an amazing beat to it, and it feels really good to see SHINee back again. From the oranges to short hair, this is a very visual MV, there isn’t any defined story line, which is fine, its a beautiful music video regardless. I love the over all tone and color of this MV, its fun but chill, and it looks like there is a tad bit of angst in it as you see Key beating the piano keys.

1. Fake Love – BTS
So, for this MV, I found out that the director didn’t use any CGI, all the fire, water, explosions are 100% real. That is honestly amazing, it can get pretty pricey for that kind of stuff, and they pulled it off flawlessly. Not only is the MV true to it’s element, it was also debuted at the BBMAs here in Las Vegas, and the album hit No.1 on the BillBoard music charts. It’s also nice to see dark haired BTS again, and they seem to really be enjoying it. I will point out, that I wish I could buy BTS their contacts, more natural looking ones, cause it does weird me out that their contacts are just…. off, but that’s just a personal thing. Also, abs, didn’t know we were bring that back but I’m down.

BTS Wings Tour in Anaheim

Getting tickets for this was extremely stressful, and thankfully my friends dad helped us out. Quoting him “I think BTS stands for Bullshit Ticketmaster Sucks” haha. We stayed at the Westin in Costa Mesa, which is kind of far from the Honda Center in Anaheim, but

View from Hotel Room

we were okay with that. We got there extremely early on Day 1, which seemed kind of insane to me, but my friend really wanted merch and the new lightstick. So waiting in a line that seemed forever, we got her lightstick! Which left her old one for me to use. There were so many ARMY Moms! It was so nice getting to meet them all!

We finally found where we needed to line up to get in, and then, at the doors, found out we couldn’t bring our backpack or cameras inside the venue! Which sucked cause then we had to find a way to check them in, and hoped our cameras would make it out alive. With all the threats that have happened in the past with Rap Monster and now Jimin, we understood why they needed to do this, but we wish we had known before we left the hotel room.

They started off the concert with Not Today, which really got everyone hyped up! It was actually really hard for me to believe I was actually at this concert. I wish they let us bring our cameras in so I could have got some good shots. I miss it so much. Seeing their smiles, their voices live, is really something I hope everyone gets to see one day. They did perform their old songs such as No More Dream, but in a rock remix, that was really cool! During Fire, we had a Fire sea and during Spring Day we had the rainbow sea! The one thing that really got me is that everyone shouted “We Love You!” during Rap Monster’s Reflection. This was just an amazing experience, and I’m so very thankful I got to live it, and meet the people I got to meet.
