Girl Power
What other way to start the new year than with brand new Kpop videos! Popular girl group SNSD and rookie group GLAM have both released new videos with cool and fresh fashion styles.
“I Like That” tries too hard to be a tough hip hop song. It could of possibly been good but the execution just isn’t there. The clothes make up for the lack luster song and video though!
SNSD’s new song “I Got a Boy” is a mashup aegyo song about what else than, having a boyfriend. Personally I’m not a fan of theirs but I do admire their style from time to time, this video being one of those.
They seem to have raided Jeremy Scott’s workshop as his creations are seen all throughout the video. Some pieces 2NE1 has already worn. (Hmm) There’s also no surprise to see a lot of Adidas since it’s the most popular sports brand in Korea. A lot of people have labeled the style in this video as current “Hip Hop” but I beg to differ. The IGAB video is a fusion of Harajuku and 80’s Hip Hop. It’s a LL Cool J 80’s/Tupac 90’s style; large earring, Adidas, baggy pants and do rags. The bright colors, cooky accessories and extreme layered pieces intertwine Harajuku and the result is cute but edgy.

| They wore a LOT of Chanel throughout this video. MUST be nice. Lol. And of course tattoo tight are all the rave in Japan. |
 |
| I spy Batman. |
 |
| Jeremy Scott and Joyrich galore. |
 |
| Hyohyun, my favorite member! Also these beads show up on most of the girls outfits. Very cohesive! |
 |
| Her nails are cute and I love how they blank out the word “mother******” on her hat. Ha! |
 |
| I spy Chanel again. Also best outfit of the video is HyoHyun’s skeleton rib top! Oh man I must have one! |
 |
| Cute shoes! Ugly socks. |
 |
| The freaking cutest jacket I’ve ever seen. ME WANT NOW! |
Next up is rookie girl group GLAM who released the track “Party XXO” in 2012. They’ve returned in 2013 with one less member (who was rumored to be a Leetuk saesang.) But shhh you didn’t hear that from me 😉

Someone has raided Jeremy Scott’s workshop AGAIN. I feel as a stylist, if another group has a designer or look that they’ve kind of made their own I would steer away from it. There are plenty of other crazy cool designers out there to work with, Patricia Field, Betsey Johnson, Yoni P & Steve J…many others!

| Sigh…There goes ANOTHER do rag. *Shakes head* But I do adore her earrings! |
 |
| The hat and ring are banging! This hat can actually be purchased at a shop called SuperMarket in Myeongdong. I saw it there when I bought a similar hat. 🙂 |
 |
| Is it a bird? A plane? No it’s….Batman! |
 |
| Batman seems to be the current trend in Kpop. |
 |
| Her gold mini pistol is freaking awesome! |
 |
| This phone attachment is sold all over Korea. Usually runs $30 and up. Rain actually bought one for his dad once. Lol. (This was in the video.) |

Hello april! I saw your blog, lol I kinda liked snsd's sock, XD but my ankle is thick so it would look fugly on me! XD haha! and lately over here in Cali, ive seen some dorags recently, everytime I see one, i think of taeyang! XD liked your blog! 😀
I agree with you – If I saw another artist rock a particular item, I would steer clear of it! Today I noticed that in the Infinite H video, Dongwoo rocked the same Jeremy Scott monster scarf (or whatever it is) that Minzy wore during the 2NE1 World Tour. Of course, sometimes it does happen unintentionally, but other times I do question it…
My favorite looks for videos would have to be 2NE1's "I Love You", CN Blue's "I'm Sorry" (just watched it today and I love it all!), Big Bang's "Bad Boy", Miss A's "Bad Girl, Good Girl" (I feel like the black is super sleek & some of those pieces I could see being worn in everyday life) & "I Don't Need a Man". That's all that I can think of for now! Great post!

Hello to you!
Haha yeah when I see a dorag now I always think of Tae Tae also! I'm going to dress up as Tae Tae with a dorag and french braids for the Saturday concert of the Big Bang Alive Tour Final. Lol I feel only Tae is allowed to wear them! haha
Thanks for checking out the PFN!
Oh I'll have to check out Infinite H's new video! I like their dance movies a lot.
And yeah I totally agree about Miss A's video. The black lace was very sleek and fun. I also liked the white lace from the "Touch" video. The song, video, and fashion was really great!
