New K-pop Videos

Time for the first post of 2021! Hope everyone had a good New Year. :) 

I'm starting off with a couple of new K-pop videos. My last post just focusing on K-pop was in June, so it's been a while! 

Note: Click "Subtitles/closed captions" on all the videos to see English subtitles! :)


BoA- Better

First up is Better by veteran singer BoA. It's from her 10th album, also called BETTER, and was released on 1st December.

BoA is one of the most popular Korean solo stars (she is also well known in other Asian countries),  and  celebrated 20 years in the music business last summer! 

The BETTER album is BoA's 20th studio album (10th Korean language). The title track single also came out on 1st Dec.


For more BoA, check out her 2019 Christmas song Starry Night (I know Christmas has gone, but maybe you're missing it already!): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2019/12/christmas-songs-2019.html


KAI- Mmmh

This is Mmmh, the debut solo single of KAI (real name Kim Jong-in, or Jong-in Kim in the Western way) from boyband EXO and the supergroup SuperM. It's from his self-titled debut solo mini album which was released in November.

Mmmh actually came out on 29th November, so it's "new-ish" but I've been seeing the video a lot recently on the K-pop show Pops in Seoul. The song has a sultry vibe and sticks in your head.

NCT 2020- Resonance

Finally, here is RESONANCE,  the new single from boyband NCT. The group is made up of several units,  and this track sees all 23 members together. It is a compilation of 4 songs from NCT 2020 RESONANCE, the second studio album by the entire group. 

The album was released in two parts, Part 1 on 12th October and Part 2 on 23rd November. All 21 members from current units participated and 2 new members joined, Shotari and Sungchan.

The sub units are NCT U, 127, Dream and WayV (China based).  All the units have fixed members apart from NCT U, which changes members depending on the concept. RESONANCE is a mix of the songs Make A Wish (Birthday Song), 90s Love, Work It and Raise The Roof. It was released on 4th December.

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
