Oh please. This was the most pointless change to DBSK’s “Mirotic.”

After being told that their song was too inappropriate, DBSK was forced to censor their song. Their solution, change “Under My Skin” to “Under My Sky.” Good job. That makes TONS of sense now.  “I got you under my sky?” As if Engrish wasn’t bad enough. It was also stated that their lyrics, particularly “Red Ocean,” needed to be censored since it was believed that a woman’s menstrual cycle was implied. Well, they didn’t change that. I don’t see why “Under My Skin” needed to be fixed… “Under My Sky” just lost me even more. I’m sure there’s another word other than “sky” that fits. Also, there was a slight change in Yunho’s rap. Instead of him saying “I caught you” it changes to “I choose you” or something to that extent. I tried to figure it out since I don’t really know Korean. Obviously, these people had their mind in the gutter when they claimed the song was too mature for 19 year olds. I may not be 19 yet but I’m still listening to the original any way. As a fangirl, my mind is usually in the gutter anyways. Seductive, yes. Inappropriate, no.

Here’s a clip of the newly censored song in action…

Thanks a lot, Ningin. You did the most impossible thing to me. You influenced me into liking a boy band/group, something of which I shunned since my sophomore year of high school. The last boy band/group I was even remotely interested in happened to be G.O.D. Now, I like Dong Bang Shin Gi (Ki?! I like “g” better).

It all started with that Mirotic single. The song, which didn’t do anything for me at first, grew on me, and then after I paid more attention to the music video, I was hooked in a way. Then I listened to the whole album and the last song of the album, “Love in the Ice”, fully won me over with its prettiness and its awesome vocals.

However, it wasn’t until the “Dangerous Love” episode of Banjun Theatre that really cinched me to like them as a whole. The yaoi/slash implications, especially in the phone booth scene, made me swoon. Plus, Changmin/Max is just so adorable. He became my favourite member, and the image below the cut is made of the biggest, fantastic win ever.

So once again, THANKS A LOT NINGIN. You have created a monster of me! Even my close friend, when I told her about my new found love for this group, she was shocked. To be honest, I am shocked myself, but oh, this new found love is . . . so worth it. What a way to bring me back into the mainstream Korean media.

Now that the Mirotic single has played out (but not their sexy bodies), it’s time for a new MV.

According to rumor, the new MV will be my all time favorite track “Wrong Number”. While there is no official word yet, it is one of the most popular tracks as Hero Jae Joong gets to rap for the first time. /Faints.

The new MV is going to be shot at the sleek M Boutique Hotel and include a flashy Aston Martin. Ballin? They’re going all out for this MV due to the recent hype they’ve received although I would have gone for a Bentley.

TVXQ has officially released their fourth album, Mirotic, only a few days ago but even before then it has hit number 1 on the charts. I’m glad they’re back in Korea again so they can put these fake talentless boy bands to shame.

The new album is title Mirotic which is the combination of a coined Korean word “miro” and the English word “tic”. The word “miro” means “lost or maze” which has lead people to believe the definition is the feeling of being wrapped in love with no way out.

Listening to the entire album, I was more of a fan of the slow songs (especially Jae Joong’s solo) over the upbeat ones although “Wrong Number” and “Crazy Love” were one of my favorites. I really enjoyed the entire album with its techno pop feel; definitely a hit for a comeback album.
