7. [+17, 0]  Aigoo our treasure~~~  I wanted to go if they were to hold a end of the year concert in Busan --- Too bad they're not but I'm just happy that I'll be able to listen to your music~~~^^

8. [+17, 0]  Ah I really want to go...

5. [+2381, -63]  Akmu, I love all the new songs!  Hoping for more success to you two♥♥!!!!!!!

6. [+427, -16]  I like the word 'album listening session'.  It's amazing of Akmu to call it that instead of a showcase or concert.

7. [+345, -12]  Wow, they're not even an idol group and to pull in 10,000 people?  Wow, their fandom is no joke ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ

8. [+326, -9]  Before I only used to listen to their songs but after watching the showcase, they really make you enjoy and become happy... I honestly became a fan... They're full of wit as well

9. [+290, -11]  I think I definitely witnessed the growth and development Akmu's gone through from this showcase with the comfort they expressed and how relaxed they were.  It was great.  The title of 'Nation's Siblings' definitely won't be wasted on these two.

8. [+117, -5]  There's no point in listening attentively to other songs' lyrics and so it became a habit for me to do that.  But Akdong Musician's lyrics are the kind that makes you think about each and every line.

'Unpretty Rap Star 2' SUA and Akdong Musician's Soohyun perform 'Who Am I'

Naver TV Cast: Who Am I - Sua ft. Akdong Musician Soohyun

1. [+760, -43]  Soohyun's vocal colour's just way too good ㅠㅠㅠ they're a good match

2. [+462, -83]  It's obvious that it's evil editing so I don't understand why are people hating on her so much... Even if you just watch five minutes of Unpretty Rap Star's members on V-App, you'd know they look friendly.  Isn't it going too far to be calling a 17-year old girl "shrewd" and "a fox"?

3. [+375, -38]  Hm it was too bad that Yoobin made a mistake but I think Sua and Soohyun's voices meshed well together and their song had great chemistry~  Looks like the results were also influenced by the live performance itself and the audience's preferences~  You both worked hard!!!

4. [+312, -52]  Sua did well today yet she's getting so much hate

5. [+260, -39]  She did a great job today!!!  Good job Sua and Soohyun!

6. [+244, -18]  Soohyun's vocal colour's just so good ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ  She fit well with Sua!

7. [+218, -28]  Sua's song was the best on today's broadcast.  I was shocked because she did better than I expected.

8. [+172, -40]  Sua fighting!!!!  You were Unpretty Rap Star's vitamin!!

9. [+164, -21]  She did very well today.  I'll be anticipating Sua in the future.  Also, Soohyun's voice is angelic

10. [+150, -25]  Sua did well.  I liked Soohyun's vocals too.  I think both of them were just a great match.... hope she debuts for sure

11. [+67, -12]  Look at all these crazy people just coming here to leave malicious comments on a young kid... that's sad.  Before you criticize another person, look at how you're living your life first.

12. [+63, -5]  Soohyun's voice is always amazing... today's song, stage, and condition were all great.  The atmosphere was good

What are your favourite side tracks from idol groups?"

PART 1: 

SHINee - Aside (방백), Romeo + Juliette (소년, 소녀를 만나다), Y.O.U (Year of Us)

f(x) - Goodbye Summer, Airplane, Shadow (미행)

Super Junior - This is Love, Mid-Season (환절기), Miracle

Post: 'A compilation of high-quality idol group side tracks Part 1'

Source: Instiz

[1] "Recommending a Big Bang song to someone is such a difficult task because all of their songs are so good... just listen to them all."

[2] "I was expecting 'Beautiful Stranger' and f(x) Dracula to be listed on here. Actually, all of f(x) side tracks are great.  Give them a listen if you ever have the time especially Ending Page and Beautiful Stranger.  I love the unique feeling of their songs."

[3] "All of Big Bang's songs are really good and I also like Super Junior's side tracks specifically their ballad songs. Most SM artists have great side tracks"

[4] "I expected those from Shinee, f(x), Super Junior, and Block B.  f(x)'s Toy is good too! Everything on Pink Tape is worth listening to."

[5] "The songs listed on here by these idol groups are great.  As for Big Bang, just listen to any of their songs and it's bound to be good."

[6] "All of Shinee's songs give off such a different feel.  For me personally, I loved their album 'The Misconceptions of Us'"

[7] "The person who wrote this knows what they're talking about~ I've listened to all of these."

[8] "There's so many more great songs from these groups but I agree that the ones listed are worth listening to.  Infinite's another group with amazing side tracks"

[1] "This is an opinion of one person but honestly they picked great songs.  Hope in the next part you'll include Sunny Hill."

[2] "A lot of idol groups have such great songs!  It's too bad not a lot of people are aware of that."

[3] "All of Akdong Musician's and Winner's songs are amazing.  YG artists' songs are really good."

[4] "Anyone who hasn't listened to B2ST's side tracks are missing out... go and listen to them now!"

[5] "I'm discovering a lot of great songs today..."

[6] "B2ST's side tracks are definitely something else!  There's never been another idol group that I've listened and liked all the side tracks for except for B2ST.  I also recently love all of Winner's songs on their album, I can't pick... what's more amazing is that they took part in the composition and writing of the lyrics."

[7] "I love B1A4's, 2NE1's, Winner's, and Akdong Musician's songs... B1A4's side tracks are great.  I fell for them because of it.  Listen to So Fine, Solo Day, and Too Much 벅차!"

[8] "You listed all the groups that I love.  Even my mom fell for B2ST when she listened to 'When I Miss You'.  The lyrics and melody are so good"

Article: ''Akdong Musician's Lee Soo Hyun, 'I'm happy that I was able to sing this 2014''

Source: TV Report via Naver

1. [+3054, -83]  I really like Soohyun.  She sings well and she's getting prettier~ ㅎㅎ I like a face like Soohyun's a lot better than artificially fixed faces made by plastic surgery.  You're already very pure and great as you are now so I hope you don't ever get cosmetic surgery~

2. [+2517, -47]  I'm just shocked by the fact that she's only 14 years old~  Vocal monster Soohyun!  I listen to your songs every single day.  Healing music, healing voice, genius siblings... Akdong Musician.  I'm anticipating you guys and hope you give us even better songs this year

3. [+2077, -64]  She's as charming as her voice.... I hope she doesn't get anything fixed like that person in the same company as her... I like Akdong Musician so much~

4. [+1714, -30]  I see, I want to be happy too Soohyun

5. [+1558, -29]  Happy new year

6. [+170, -10]  She's not pretty but strangely you get pulled in by her

7. [+176, -19]  Her face is not pretty but she's somehow charming.  She also gives off a sexy vibe even though she's still very young.  I think she's a well-rounded beauty.  She seems like an oriental beauty like Jang Yoon Joo, Kim Yuna, and Ga In.

8. [+150, -7]  Soohyun's adorable.... ㅋㅋ

9. [+145, -7]  And I was happy to have been able to listen to Akdong Musician's music this year ㅎ

Performances from 'SBS Gayo Daejun 2014'

Article: '[Gayo Daejun] 2NE1's three-member stage without Park Bom who is self-reflecting... definite charisma'

Source: Xsportnews via Naver

1. [+1359, -59]  Wow CL's insane... covers everything even without Park Bom

2. [+1073, -46]  Ah seriously... their live singing is so awesome... as expected of 2NE1

3. [+971, -66]  Park Bom made a mistake and YG made a mistake with the way they handled it too but 2NE1's 'Come Back Home' this year is truly amazing..!!

4. [+910, -178]  I'm a 2NE1 fan and it makes me sad to listen to the three of them singing 'Come Back Home' because I feel like they're singing it to Park Bom

5. [+842, -163]  It's too bad about Park Bom ㅠㅠ  2NE1 seemed to be in low spirits today... Since all of 2NE1 has such a big individual presence, they should never have one member missing.  On top of that, Come Back Home's such an amazing song whenever I listen to it.

6. [+225, -7]  Wow... CL ㅋㅋ It's not easy for three girls to dominate the stage like that... I became a fan after watching them at their YG Family Concert.  Their charisma was overflowing on that day too... especially CL's 'MTBD' ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was my first time feeling such a cool aura from a girl group

7. [+215, -8]  It feels a bit empty but their live was perfect and their presence and pose were amazing

8. [+201, -7]  Their album this year is incredible

9. [+193, -5]  All of them make up for it even with one missing wow

10. [+194, -6]  CL is truly in charge of the aura.  She's just the best.  I surrendered myself right away when she yelled "I'm your Queen forever!"

2. [+635, -89]  This was really worth watching ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ B.I's handsome......

3. [+435, -88]  Bobby makes you go crazy every time you look at him ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ So cool ㅠㅠㅠ

4. [+486, -74]  Bobby raps really well... I'm going crazy

5. [+398, -30]  They skillfully changed up their lyrics ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+263, -31]  Woah can't believe it's Epik High's Born Hater... and on top of that Bobby and B.I... daebak

7. [+255, -25]  What's with Bobby and B.I's coats... that's totally the style I like... it was so awesome even with the lyric changes.  I can only be thankful to the Epik High Gods for allowing us to see them on stage together like this ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It was worth the wait; I probably replayed this a thousand times

2. [+1136, -12]  This whole Gayo Daejun was just so-so.... ㅋ

5. [+481, -200]  Well, it's possible. They're human too

6. [+244, -29]  Jeff Bernat sang worse than Taeyang did though?  And what's with Jeff Bernat's outfit?  It's not like he's going to perform at a neighbourhood gig or something

7. [+211, -12]  I realized how amazing MAMA really was
