I laughed at the name of their group, but I am totally digging the music. The album is really good, even if it is pop-like in sound, but they're just the songs that will be catchy in tune. Good rhythms and the vocals compliment the music <3


I need to dig around for pictures of this group...

^ haha I was like "WTF?" when I looked at the name.

actually more like "looks like someone's got the wrong thread..."

but I really REALLY like their 'Why' MV & the lead singer has an awesome voice. I will definitely have to check them out, thanks for posting

Same reaction I got. I had to check if I was in the Korean Music thread.hehehe.

Music sounds alright but the MV is kinna weird for me though..

i found some more pics
i'll upload them in a bit if someone doesn't beat me to it:D

american influence FTL.

hm....i also found out that they or i don't know if it was just the lead singer...was on something called "X-Boyfriend" in May 2007? oh and by the way..you spelled their name wrong in the first post...although you spelled it right just above that....

here's the picture from the show:



more pictures of the group:

thanks for the info. Napolean Dynamie wonder if they did see the movie.
the vocal does look kinda like kim heechul, like an older brother version. rofl.

I looove this band. x_X
The songs are so addictive. xD I've had the album on repeat for almost a week now. xD
I love all of the songs too. o_O

i love their songs.
esp. the title track WHY. <333
been playing it over and over..

i hope the band doesn't get a lawsuit for the same name.

R O F L ! ! ! !


That's such a tight name!


Napoleon Dynamite!!

WaaAAaHhhhhHH!


So cool.

The girl looks super RAD! LOL.

I want to hear their music.


XD

LOl @ the name..
but i guess their pretty good..the lead has an awesome voice
but the mv was kinda weird..hehe will look more into this group

here's a picture that i...uh...redesigned...i was just bored and since i like them so much...

Interesting. Usually the girl is the lead singer in rock/modern rock band, but not this one. I gotta check them out.

Their song WHY was okay But I can't really find much stuff from them at Youtube ~ they are too new I guess ..

I just watched the MV to the title track. I like the song a lot. I heard of them but never really payed much attention. Now I'm gonna check out some other songs. (:

The picture from the X-boyfriend show Mardi09 posted, the guy really does look like Heechul. x]

Interesting
at first i was like Napoleon????
LOL but they seem to have nice music. The MV was a little odd but he has a nice voice.
And he does kinda look like heechul. ^^ well shall go and check out their music.

i downloaded two more songs off their album....and they were quite different from why....i actually was expecting the music to sound more like why...but i do like the songs so far.....

and here are some pictures i found...

the straight hair makes him look younger and he was already handsome but…



This picture made him look so cute…^^




FIRST SHOWCASE PICTURES

Their debut song was actually decent.

I guess I'm too much of a geek to first recognize "Nuclear Launch Detected". Come on Starcraft guys respond plz... lol

Napoleon Dynamite released a Digital Single, April 10th?!
I'm going to try and find it...I can't seem to find it on z-degrees...
but i was on jukeon.com..getting lyrics for Nuclear Launch Detected...
but then..when i clicked on the digital single...there was only one track..?...
hm....maybe it's not out yet...

i'm already in love with the lead singer's voice =)
and he kind of looks like Kim Heechul, which is a plus ^^

haha...yeah....
I finally finished downloading the whole album last week
and I've got to say...they are surprisingly good
i love the style of their music
so upbeat and has a hint of rock in there too...
<3~

hahahaha like almost everybody else, i thought the movie too...
everyone seems to dig their sound. so i`m intrigued enough to try them out :3

I'm really addicted to their music. The lead vocal's voice is really great!

ive been in love with this group ever since their first album came out.. they need more attention!
anyway, like mardi09 said, they have a new digital single out called "싸대기" (not sure how to translate)

you can listen to it at this naver blog:
http://blog.naver.com/kiki_ayo?Redirect=Lo...No=120051039876
i havent found a download link anwhere yet..
its really different from their other songs, i was surprised when i first listened to
its more piano based(?) and the overall effect is really calming.

& the lead singer's cyworld is
http://www.cyworld.com/shout0701
not too personal, but it has a couple pictures nontheless.

^thanks for the link for his cyworld......
it's now time for me to check it out...
but I'm wondering why though...
why does naver list the lead vocalist, Suh Kang Yoon's
name as Napoleon (Napolleyong)? and the bass and leader is Pedro...
never mind, i think it's just his stage name...


I've never read this article...but...yeah...hm....

I think he updates his diary two times a month...






DIARY:





July 25th, 2008

행복하다
Happiness


구멍없는 화분이 왜 혁명적인지
Why is the pot that is not the hole not revolutionary
알아냈으니
I found it out...


July 28th, 2008

말라버린 호수가에 앉아
sitting in a drained lake
밤을 기다렸다
waiting for the night
더이상 솟아나지 않는 샘물을
spring water rising
어둠과 맞바꾸었다
with darkness it changes


그 어마어마한 무덤위에
the huge tomb at the top
밤을 심었다
planted at night
더이상 피어나지 않는 꽃을
blooming flower
별과 맞바꾸었다
the stars changing


계단을 올라 옥상으로 가며
they climb the stairs to the rooftop
밤을 청했다
asking at night
더이상 따뜻하지 않은 자켓을
a warmer jacket
바람과 맞바꾸었다
wishing for change


친절한 밤의 악마와
night's friendly with the devil
기절한 나의 영혼을 바라보며
seeing my soul that fainted
환희의 눈물을 흘리다
shedding tears of joy

finally...a Napoleon Dynamite Thread!
I saw their vid on Arirang TV months ago (their MV "Why") and I got hooked.
I'm mostly into Korean rock these days. haha.

Kang Yoon does resemble Heechul esp when he did the "OMONA" gesture. *points to the pic above*

I love their songs. Thanks for the pics! <3

btw, quick edit. here's a vid of them performing Final 4 Minutes at the Hong-Dae club in Korea.
credits to the one who posted the vid.

Mardi - no problem! hehe. that's one of my fave songs too!
