Not a lot of changes this week on the top, as Turtles remain No. 1 with "비행기" (Aeroplanes). They are still gaining scores. We expected Psy’s "연예인" (Performer) to move up, but it hasn’t happened yet as this song stays at No. 3. In between, it is still Ha Dong Kyun’s “그녀를사랑해줘요” (Please Love Her) at No. 2.

Of the top 6 songs, Superjunior’s “Dancing Out” is the only song which is moving. In fact, it is our biggest mover of the week, up 9 spots. Looks like another big hit for them.

Two brand new songs this week, led by Girl Friend’s “May Be I Love You” at No. 12. Girl Friends is a project group formed by 2 close friends: Yuri of Cool and Chae Rina of Roora and Diva. Their music is very different from what they used to do. “May Be I Love You” is a mid-tempo song with a lot of rapping by Chae Rina.

The other new song at No. 18 is Seo Young Eun’s “좋아좋아” (Like it, Like it). It is from her second remake album “Romantic 2”. This time, she is remaking hit songs from the 1970s and 1980s.

ARTIST OF THE WEEK - Ha Dong Kyun




Our featured artist this week is an unfamiliar face to most people just by mentioning his name - Ha Dong Kyun. But when we were told that he was a former member of the R&B group Wanted, a lot more people recognized him. So, he is not excatly a brand new artist. Ha Dong Kyun made his solo debut 2 months ago. He caught our attention as his album was selling very well, and his title song "그녀를사랑해줘요" (Please Love Her) was also moving up the music charts very fast, without appearing on any gayo shows to promote the song. Last month, he started to come out to promote his album, and the song "그녀를사랑해줘요" (Please Love Her) reached No. 1 for 2 weeks on our chart. That is an exceptional accomplishment considered that this is his first album, and also Wanted was not even as popular then as Ha Dong Kyun is now. Let's find out more about him:

PROFILE
Date of birth : June 28th, 1980
Physique : 175cm, 63kg
Religion : Christianity
Hobbies : Listening to music, driving, computer games


BIOGRAPHY
Ha Dong Gyun was previously a member of Wanted, a band that debuted in 2004. Thanks to his good looks and deep voice, Ha Dong Gyun has won over many fans even before his official solo debut. The song "Always", used in the OST of a television series, gave Ha instant popularity.
Only 2 months after the release of its album, Wanted held a sold-out concert for 1000 fans. On the way home from the concert, an unfortunate traffic accident took away the life of one of the band members and caused injury to the rest of the members. Two years since the accident, Ha has returned to the local music scene with a solo album.


DISCOGRAPHY
Stand Alone (1st album, 2006) : Please Love Her, Far Away, Reincarnation, To Love, In the Bar, Hot – Time Lover, One Fine Day

Paran has already gained many fans do to their great live performances and appearance. They can be differentiated between most dance groups because of their music abilities. Their title song is called ‘Five steps’. The best gift they got was having the opportunity to work with Usher’s music team ‘Gary Haase’. We are looking forward to seeing them as a global group that will be well known all over the world. Danny Ahn and Kim Tae-Woo from G.O.D., Hwang Sung-Jae, Shin Min-Ohk, P.J. and so forth have participated in their album. Paran is going show their fans a more precocious music and a new image that will show a different color of them. They will become the idol group that will write a new history in the music industry. - credits to purpletiger86

I don't have too much info on 나들. Seo Young Eun's song is remade of very old song from the 70s/80s. So I imagine this songwriter is from that era too. I did not see this name on any new songs.
