PSY feat. Snoop Dogg – Hangover
PSY has finally returned, collaborating with Snoop Dogg to present Hangover. You might find yourself questioning whether it should be Snoop Dogg featuring PSY though the mv is unmistakably of the PSY trend.
Taeyang – RISE TS
BIGBANG’s Taeyang has released the teaser spot for his album RISE. This album will feature his recent solo track Ringa Linga, though the title track will be a track called Eyes, Nose, and Lips. Taeyang will go on to to reveal another two mvs for tracks called 1AM and Body.
AKMU – 200%

2NE1 – Come Back Home
2NE1 have released their much anticipated Crush album, which leads with two songs, Happy and Come Back Home. Happy is a fairly simple mv of the girls in LA, the mv was actually filmed in 2012, with Mina Kwon creating the illustrations at least a year ago. It is the mv for Come Back Home where 2NE1 impress.
Donghae & Eunhyuk – Motorcycle
Super Junior members, two halves of a self named sub unit, Donghae & Eunhyuk are set to release their Japanese album on Wednesday. The thirteen song album will include the duo’s first two tracks Oppa Oppa and I Wanna Dance, and the albums lead track Motorcycle.
