I love 04. World. ^^
and I'm starting to like 그대 걷던 길 and 뒤돌아 보다...actually everything!

Jul 20 2009, 03:50 AM

^ I love World too~~ I really like the lyrics. it actually needed a little time until I liked 그대 걷던 길 but now I do. and, I really like 시야 and Violet Suit

Mardi09, I can help you with their disco :'D

They were yesterday at Shim Shim Tapa and it was about showing talent (E.Via was also there, she rapped) NoReply sung the refrain of 시야 lol they also tried imitations but failed a bit, it was so cute (and funny ㅋ)

anyway, I was like O____O!! when I saw they are up for Super Rookie for Inkigayo. (but against Mate and 4Minute ㅠㅠ) you can vote here starting tomorrow. it would be so cool if they would win and perform on inkigayo ㅠㅠ

^ I'm pretty sure 4minute's going to win - it's a popularity battle =[

끝나지 않은 노래, 오래전 그 멜로디, Violet Suit, and Road are my favourites<3

Jul 24 2009, 05:43 PM

^ I know D: But I still want to dream a bit ㅠㅠ But there seem more people voting for No Reply than I thought.

끝나지 않은 노래 is such a beatiuful song. I have the feeling a lot of people like it. I think it was more popular than 그대 걷던 길 on cyworld.

No Reply won at the cyworld digital awards :'D yay

and they were at beatiful mint life (together with Mate) and, I wonder what SunGwan tells about their name, sth with Cowboy Bebop? @_@ didn't he always said sth else, what their name means?

beautiful mint life - No Reply, Mate (090805)

I am pretty sure that I will be able to find something about them here and I did! and it happened to be that the person who manage this thread is the person responsible for making me love these guys too!

Congratulation for winning cyworld digital awards! their music really makes them stands out.

For me No reply music is the kind of music that you would love to listen to especially when you feel down cause their music is an easy listening music.

I really like Soon Kwan's voice, I was introduced to this duo through Taru :) I have to go find more of
their albums! I`m really into indie music now :D

Sep 4 2009, 06:56 AM

^ if you need help, pm me. you also should be able to find it on yesasia

and welcome~
yeah, for me No Reply were the first indieband I liked.

QUOTE (love~eastsea~ @ Sep 2 2009, 10:57 PM)

Hi there~ XD
I'm happy you found till here~

for me it's this kind of beautiful lyrics that comes through the music and when you listen, you feel like swimming aside from the busy world and you don't want to do, think about anything, just listen to the music D:

they were on THEY this weekend. here are some really good photos, you can click on them and make them really big! so good quality! D: I want them all for my wall! >_<

They will be on Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook (yay~) recording day is the 15th. first it was said it will be broadcasted 25th but now I read 18th :/

oh right, there is a video of No Reply being dorky 8D

and a subbed version of 시야 (visual field) at Lee Hana's Peppermint (from 2008)

Sep 8 2009, 06:58 AM

I found at cyworld a kind of interview of SunGwan and Taru for the 'Man and Woman ... and stories'
Sungwan being unbelievable cute, awkward, and shy (and Taru being all smiley smiley)
it's to die for D: (I think.)

and, I subbed 그대 걷던 길

v
No Reply - 그대 걷던 길

^That song is soothing. But maybe I just not used to them yet. They've been in Sketchbook. Argh.. I think I missed that show.

wassereis

Sep 14 2009, 05:08 AM

^ I think 그대 걷던 길 is a song that needs a bit time to get used to before you really like it, but I think things like 시야, 끝나지 않은 노래, Violet Suit and World are better.

they will record the show tomorrow

so you didn't miss anything yet. it will be shown on the 25th.

Sep 18 2009, 06:47 PM

No Reply will have a digital single coming out on 28th. the title track is 끝나지 않은 노래, it's the same as on the album, but it will also contain a new one ('낡은 배낭을 메고'). you can already listen to it on their cyworld club.
they said that there will also come more activities with the new single *_* pleeeea~se

They were yesterday at Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook, but their performance was quite short. but we got to hear Wookjae sing :'D (he sung naru's part from 'Violet Suit')

they also got some slippers as a present (from some fan I think, they had really nice drawn pictures and 'No reply' written on it) but the shoes are too big for Sungwan ㅎㅎ

and, apparently Sungwan seems to know how to play bass D:

and he looks cute even doing that XD

I feel like I update for my own ... oh, wait, I do D:

with the 4th line up for the GMF2009 a name 'TUNE' appeared. apperently TUNE is Jung Wook Jae *_*

Originally it was planned to put a remix of No Reply’s ‘World’ as supporting theme song on the single for GMF2009 together with the remix of Naru and Deb’s ‘너와나의 프롤로그’. That was changed to the solo project ‘TUNE(튠)’ of No Reply’s member Jung Wook Jae. His song ‘아름다운 것과 소멸되는 것’ will not just be on the GMF single, but also on a minialbum (4~5 songs) he is currently preparing. That minialbum, filled with warm poems about the world, environment and freedom, will be first sold at the GMF place. TUNE will be focused on the guitar play. There is also a shooting for a music video:

No Reply also plans on using strings for their performance. If everything works out, we will hear songs like ‘World’ and ‘바람은 어둡다’ added with strings.

^ Oh no you don't. Silent lurker here, sorry

Thank you very much for your updates.

Cool, so Jung Wook Jae is doing solo works. I wish I get to see that video, it looks beautiful from the caps.
But omg I want that remix version of WORLD T__T

Since I have nothing to contribute here are the official posters:

Oct 1 2009, 05:19 PM

^ ah~ it's okay then :'D

omfg, they look awesome *_* I want ~~one~~ all of those posters ~

a remix of World would have been awesome, but .. but ... I'm rather interested in seeing his solo project *_* he performed on of his songs on their second concert ㅠㅠ *cries*

oh, btw, i almost fell from the chair, seeing that they had an interview with Elle yesterday O:
that's so coool~~

No Reply, with Album and Performances talents of the second half of the year 2009

No Reply's going isn't ordinary.

No Reply's Debut album 'Road', which was published in June, is still top-ranked in several album charts after 4 month.

In the Hanteo-charts No Reply's album is reaching place 28, a far higher place compared to other, recent artists, such as Taru, Crying Nut, Moon Shiners, Jang Gi Ha and the faces, Oh Ji Eun, Broccoli you too etc.

It's not an explosion, they are constantly getting love and the rumor of them being a steady seller is already spreading around the Korean music fans.

From the performance side, it's a long time since they rose up to a wonderful new and superior team.

The two concerts they held in July and September where sold out at the time of the ticket open and, driving on without a stop, they plan to hold their third concert on 12th December at the Mapo Art centre with 800 places, like no other rookie in the indie scene ever had. Also the performance in mid October in Pusan is on the verge of being sold out.

Also, No Reply was selected as artists of 'Hello Rookie', a promotion of artists of the indie scene, in October and will perform at EBS Space Sympathy(공감). They're also hot talk, being selected as final candidates for 'Power Rookie' two month in row.

No Reply recently appeared in 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook' and was enthroned to place 1 in search engines in that time. Of course it brought them the opportunity to become well known to the masses.

So much that the opinion is dominant, that 'if the biggest subject from the Hongdae scene of the first half of the year was Jang Gi Ha and the faces, the second half of the year it is No Reply by far'.

Lee So Young (better known as Nina) from No Reply's label Happy Robot Record says about that surprising reaction: "No Reply are rookies, that already got recognized by music fans that much, that they reached place two at a visitor recommendation event in July for the Grand Mint Festival 2009. In future they will be looked forward to even more because of their style distributing their musicality and popularity.”

On the other side, No Reply’s Jung WookJae plans to publish, separate from the team activities, a mini album ‘TUNE’ in mid October with the message of ‘Eco’, he always had interest in.

yay~ 3rd concert *_* *dances*
but this article makes me happy in general :'D

wassereis

Oct 19 2009, 12:59 AM

I got to know that WookJae actually wanted to do the Eco project already last year and he even is studying sth related to envirnment *_*

anyway, his minialbum 'TUNE your mind' is supposed to come out 27th october now, some days after GMF (but it will be also sold at the GMF). it contains 6 tracks, you can pre-listen to 3 of them at happyrobot.com. he also has his blog www.tunetheworld.net where he updated with pics and lyrics and such. he even tattooed his logo on his wrist, but he had it already at their second concert so he made it before 26th september.

also, there will be a second mv to 'freedom' with model Kim Ji Eun and skateboarder Jung Gyu Won. *_*

can't wait to see him at the GMF *_*
