-THE WONDER YEARS, The Perfect 80's "RETRO"

Female group "Wonder Girls" made an excellent debut appearance with their powerful dance song "Irony" during the first half of this year. They are now back with their official first album entitled "THE WONDER YEARS". There are a total of 13 tracks in this album and the title song is "Tell Me". It is a pop dance song that has a strong sound and rhythm to it. From attire to choreography, Wonder Girls will be pulling off a trendy 80's retro style. Producer Park Jin Young was a popular singer during the 1990's where he pulled off the 70's disco style look with his hit song "She Was Pretty". Famous musicians such as David Kim and Lee Min Woo (from Shinhwa) have contributed to this album to make it more meaningful. – credits to purpletiger86

-"Na Yoon Kwon" Second Album [Back View]

It took two years for Na Yoon Kwon to return to the music scene with songs that can express him perfectly. He debuted with his first album back in 2005 and was praised as a new singer who could sing very well. He is now back with his second album that will show off his strong vocal skills and mature image. During his debut, Na Yoon Kwon had contributed in many different projects such as singing for a movie/drama soundtrack and singing a duet with Byul (Star). The title song is entitled "Back View" which is a traditional ballad song composed and written by Yoon Jong Shin. It is a very sad and touching song which expresses Na Yoon Kwon's strong voice very well. – credits to purpletiger86

In MBC’s 2005 University Gayo, EX, who won the Grand Prize Award with ‘I Ask For Your Favor’ has released their first album. The once 5 member group now consists of 3 members, Lee Sang Mi, Park Ji Yeon, and Gong Young Jun. From the songs, you can hear various stories, whether it’s about feelings trapped deep inside one’s mind (in ‘I Ask For Your Favor’) or one’s thoughts due to the issues of society. Jaurim’s Dreamer, Goo Tae Hoon, and Hwang Sung Jae (known for writing songs for DBSG, Super Junior, and Shinhwa), who the members of EX have respect for, have taken part in producing this album. With all these great producers helping out, it’s hard to believe that this is EX’s debut album. Their title track, Marionette is very lively and it is reminiscent of the styles of Linkin Park and Evanescence because of the modern rock flavor of the song. The lyrics for this track were written by bass player, Park Ji Yeon. – credits to motoway065

Funny, romantic, and completely charming, MBC drama The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince has been the big hit of the summer. Starring heartthrobs Gong Yoo (One Fine Day) and Lee Seon Gyun (The Great White Tower) and sassy starlet Yoon Eun Hye (Palace) in a gender-bending performance, the drama is both a romantic comedy of errors and a sensitive urban drama about the dreams and confusions of young people. Gong Yoo stars as Han Kyul, a wealthy and hot-tempered young man who can't figure out what he wants to do in life. At his grandmother's prodding, he begins to run a coffee shop and, mistaking the boyish-looking Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) for a guy, he hires her to work at the cafe…and pose as his boyfriend! It was just a ploy to scare off all of his grandmother's arranged blind dates, but the confused Han Kyul begins to fall for Eun Chan.

Indie artist Tearliner again serves as music director for this second 1st Shop of Coffee Prince OST. Containing 33 tracks over two CDs, this soundtrack presents a relaxing selection of earthy music and dialogue tracks. The album's offerings include the Tearliner-arranged Love Is Weaken When It Comes Out Of Mouth (CD 1 – Track 1) by Low-end Project and "Oh" (CD 2 – Track 5), which was written especially for the soundtrack by Kim Chang Wan who plays Mr. Hong in the drama. – credits to YesAsia
