V-pop Music and Dance 2023-2024

In February last year I did a V-pop round-up post featuring the Vietnamese posts previously shared on Star Sparkle, plus some new music. You can see that here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/02/v-pop-round-up.html

So for 2024, so I thought I'd share some more Vietnamese music and dance that I've featured since then, as well as new videos (plus one video that's older). :)

 

Music 

Music video for Ulala by Kim Kunni feat. T.R.I (released last July): https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/weekly-music-video_13.html

 

LONA feat. Ricky Star- Thich hay la yeu con chua biet

This is Thich hay la yeu con chua biet by  Vietnamese singer LONA and featuring Ricky Star.

LONA's real name is Nguyen Ha Kieu Loan (it's Vietnamese so her surname/family name is Nguyen) and her stage name is Lona Kieu Loan, or stylised as just LONA.  She started out in beauty pageants, becoming 1st runner-up of Miss World Vietnam in 2019 and also representing Vietnam at Miss Grand National 2019.

LONA launched her music career in 2020, by competing on the reality TV show King of Rap (Series/Season 1), reaching the Top 10. I think she started releasing her own singles in 2021. Her music is mainly hop hop/alternative hip hop and her most well known songs include Thich hay lay yeu con chua biet- Acoustic Ver, Think Bout Rap, Cong, So Cold and Do Anh Quen Duoc Em ("Challenge Me to Forget You" in English. Her most recent single is Vì Yêu Anh (Dance Version).

Thich hay la yeu con chua biet features rapper Ricky Star. It was released in March 2022.

LONA- Vì Yêu Anh (Dance Version)

And here is Vì Yêu Anh, Lona's latest single. The title translates as "Because I Love You" in English. This is the dance version and came out last December. There's also a remix called White Valentine Version which was released in March. Plus,  LONA did a dance cover of this (see below under the Dance section).

BIGDADDY x EMILY- YÊU NẮM 

Next up is YÊU NẮM, a recent single by real life celebrity couple,  rapper BigDaddy (real name Tran Tat Vu) and singer Emily (Emily Nguyen/Nguyen Huong Ly). Both are stars in Vietnam and confirmed their relationship in 2011. They have two children (son Bao Nguyen and daughter Bao Uyen) and got married last summer. 

YÊU NẮM was released for Valentine's Day (14th February), with the video premiering the day before, on the 13th. I think the title is "Love Hold" or "Holding Love" in English.

I believe the song is something to do with a TikTok  dance trend and also the mobile game Arena of Valor/Lien Quan. (I used Google Translate for some of this information, so apologies for any mistakes!) :)

There's also an R'n'B version with music producer and singer Machiot. And Emily did a dance video too (see Dance section). This version seems more of a pop/dance style.

Dance

My Dance Videos post from last summer includes a dance cover of Mong Một Ngày Anh Nhớ Đến Em (Huỳnh James and Pjnboy version) by B.K.A.V Dance Team: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html

 

Vì yêu anh (Dance cover)- Lona, Phương Nhi

And this is a dance cover of LONA's single Vì yêu anh (see above for the music video). It's performed by LONA herself and Vietnamese model Phương Nhi (full name Nguyen Phương Nhi) who was the runner up of Miss World Vietnamese 2022 and Miss International Vietnam 2023. 

It's only a short video (about 31 seconds), but I still thought I'd share it. :) It was uploaded in January.

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...
