Korean Break Part 6: L.O.ㅅ.E to the World

Hey L.O.ㅅ.Es!! Are you ready for this? NU'EST takeover starts now! I quickly fell in love with this group the second I heard them. I first heard them when they released Good Bye Bye. Correction! I first heard them in 2012 when they released Face! Apparently I was into K-Pop for longer than I thought. I was then obsessed and needed them in my life. So I watched all their videos and downloaded as much music as money would allow. I grew to love my bias and in turn became a huge fan. They are one of my top 5 favorite groups. They used to be top 2 but...let's just say two 7 member groups stole my heart. However, we are here to talk about the boys of Nu'est.

I literally own every song that I can own from iTunes. I would love to own physical copies of their albums like I do with CNBLUE's Can't Stop, but alas, I don't have the money for that. Yes I did say alas...get over it. Anyway, I won't be writing about all those songs, because fuck there are a lot. There are almost 50 songs and with their comeback at the end of this year...they will hit that number total. So instead I picked a good number of songs and decided to talk about those.

Let's get started!

Aren't these boys just perfect? Can you guess my favorite? No? Well just wait until my last blog post for me to tell you. If you already know, well you obviously follow me on one of my social media platforms. 

So since I wanted to make this a special post, I decided to include a small segment here at the end. I am giving you a bonus group! Lately I have been listening to NU'EST's label mate SEVENTEEN a lot. So let's give you a taste of these babies in the K-POP scene. (By baby I mean they have been a group since 2015 whereas NU'EST was formed in 2012).

SEVENTEEN abbreviated SVT is a group of 13 members with 3 subunits forming 1 whole group. If you do the math...it equals 17, hence the name. The 3 subunits are the Performance, the Hip-hop, and the Vocal groups. Let's meet the members.

What are your thoughts on SEVENTEEN? Will you keep your eyes on them? I know I will be. They are surely to hit it very big especially if they keep doing their own things like producing and choreographing. 

Let me know either in the comments below or on Twitter/Facebook what you think of this blog post. Also, let me know what you want to see next after the Korean Break is finished. I am working on the last two posts right now so look forward to those in September. Remember that I am moving so if there is some delay in anything I am currently doing, please forgive me. 

That's all for this week! See you all next time!
