T-ara’s Soyeon dolls up for a Japanese photoshoot

Recently, T-ara’s Soyeon shared some new selca photos with an adorable hairstyle.

On the afternoon of September 6th, Soyeon tweeted, “Currently shooting a Japanese photo spread. We went to the theme park and rode the roller coaster!!”

The picture added at the end of her tweet shows Soyeon rocking a quirky set of pigtails while posing cutely with her doll-like eyes. As a nod to their “Roly-Poly” concept, the T-ara member was also seen wearing a polka-dotted retro top with peach-colored suspenders.

Fans left comments such as, “Soyeon-nunim, who looks younger than her age”, “You’re looking cuter and cuter each day, what’s your secret?” and “I can’t tell if this is really you or a doll!”

On September 2nd, T-ara unleashed their first Japanese single “Bo Peep Bo Peep” and kicked off their extensive debut promotions in Japan.

KARA’s new single “Step” plagiarized?

Girl group KARA just released their new single “Step on the 6th and, while they are blowing up the music charts, they are also receiving much attention for possible plagiarism at the same time.

KARA has just made a comeback with “Step”, and it is the first single they’ve released in nearly a year. After much debate and complications with their agency, they have finally decided to release the song and the song is bright and cheery to match the girls’ attitudes towards their new album.

Netizens are claiming, however, that the melody sounds too much like Joan Osborne‘s “One of Us. They suspect that the producers identically copied the melody of “One of Us”. Some netizens even posted the two music videos side by side online to be compared.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time KARA has gone under fire for suspect plagiarism. Their hit track “Lupin” was also called out, however it seems like this time the controversy with “Step” will soon die off. One professional remarked, “In order for a song to be considered plagiarized, it needs to contain the same few lines of lyrics as well as the same rhythm. Granted it sounds similar, but it isn’t enough to be considered plagiarism.”

Most people agree. There were not many who were shocked or even noticed the similarties between the two songs, and some believe that this shouldn’t even be an issue. Netizens commented, “No one knows who started this, but stop trying to ruin KARA with nonsense that has no solid proof to back it up.”

Krystal celebrates f(x)’s second anniversary with photos

On September 5th, Krystal wrote via her me2day, “f(x) turned two years old! Let’s do this until all our members are at least 100!” With her post, she also uploaded a photo of the girls: an individual shot of everyone, and a photo of them together.

Members Victoria and Krystal are cute with pouted lips, Sulli looks feminine in her wavy hair and red hat, Amber shows off her charismatic side, and Luna looks chic as always.

Netizens responded, “Already two years?”, “Victoria looks cute with her lips pouted“, “Congratulations“, and “You all worked so hard!”

f(x) recently performed at the Tokyo Dome in Japan for their SM performances and have plans to tour overseas as well.

KARA "Step" lyrics


Here's the lyrics so you can sing along to KARA's newest song:

Hangul

Step it up now oh oh oh

*라라라라라라라라라라 라라
라라라라라라라라라라라 라

넘어지진 않을 거야 슬픔아 안녕
친해지지 않을 거야 눈물아 안녕
자신을 믿는 거야 한숨은 그만
이깟 고민쯤은 웃으며 bye bye
또 한번 더 배웠어
I will never forget about U, ye~
커졌어 난 강하게 더 높게
오 예 예 예 예

**
Step it up step it up 다시 시작이야
또 템포를 올려서 앞질러 갈래
Just step it up step it up 다 보란듯이
크게 볼룡 높여 baby my babe

내일은 새로울 꺼야 기대를 높여
그게 사는 재미 같아 근심은 날려
누구나 같을 꺼야 기 죽지 않아
작은 걱정쯤은 웃으며 bye bye
난 강하게 더 높게
오 예 예 예 예

Repeat **

내 인생에 섣불리 get louder
나 좋으라고 그랬겠어 그랬겠어
One two one two step모두 박자에 맞게
겁 낼 필요없어 아니 올 것 없어 모두 같이 함께해
어지럽게 왜 쓸데없는 생각해
그러지 말고 우리 모두 다 step it up now
절대 난 돌아보지 않겠어
앞만 보기도 시간은 짧아

Repeat **

Step it up step it up 왜 섣불리 get louder
또 템포를 올려서 괜히 그랬겠어 그랬겠어
Just step it up step it up 다 보란듯이
크게 볼룡 높여 baby my babe

Repeat *
