Whooooo! July is coming and when it hits 9th, I’ll turn 17 (18 in Korean Age).

Looks like 2010 may be an upcoming good year because of the comebacks from:

Kpop is more about image and catchy songs. Jpop is about the music and variety.

Let’s recap what happened in the year of 2009 of J-Pop and K-Pop, from my standards and choices, of course.
Brave Brothers and G-Dragon who are releasing both of their albums on August 18th and there are teaser to their songs.
