Super Junior ‘It’s You’ MV released

The MV to Super Junior‘s new single ‘It’s You’ is finally released today. The MV looked a little like a dance version of the song but good thing is fans get to see more of member KiBum in the MV. But it makes me wonder if KiBum will join the 12 for the promotion of the song.

Anyway, the song is great and addictive, and I’m looking forward to their comeback stage this weekend.

Big Bang fans are angry with KBS ‘Entertainment Weekly’

Big Bang fans are angry with the programme ‘Entertainment Weekly’.

On KBS, the episode of ‘Entertainment Weekly’ aired on 8th introduced the composer to Big Bang‘s song ‘Lies’ as the Brave Brothers instead of GDragon himself.

According to the Korea Music Copyright Association, the composer to song ‘Lies’ is recorded as GDragon. GDragon did the lyrics and composition to the song, while ‘Entertainment Weekly’ had introduced the composer as the Braves Brothers, who did the song arrangement instead.

This comes with great anger since YG president Yang Hyun Seok has gone all the way out to explain rumours about GDragon‘s song compositions lately.

And viewers have also commented on the show’s notice board, “The composer to the song ‘Lies’ is GDragon and not the Brave Brothers“, “Please do your research well before reporting”.
