Posted by : KPopRanter April 13, 2013

Welcome to K-Pop Ranter's newest feature, Weekly Wrap-Up, where we quickly summarize the week's events with images, miniature rants, and videos. This week, 4/7/13 - 4/13/13 seemed to be basically a week of nothing but selcas, more T-ara hatred and anticipation of Akdong Musician's biggest career choice to this date. However, with this week's recalling of events, maybe you'll remember a thing or two of important additions to K-Pop.

Hot Topics

What everyone's talking about:

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

T-ara trying to retrieve top-tier (Aliiteration... No? No.)

After their 7 month hiatus, CCM is trying to savage T-ara's popularity

(which went down enormously after the bullying scandal) with a new

sub-unit called 'T-ara N4'. After revealing T-ara's Jiyeon's teaser photos,

it's inevitable that everything that T-ara releases will receive hate.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Akdong Musician has to decide which company: YG, SM, JYP... why not none?

If you don't know who Akdong Musician is by now, you have

probably been living under a rock. The kick-ass sibling duo have committed

crimes of stealing the hearts of numerous watchers of Season 2 of

K-Pop Star and are now in the midst of deciding which company

they should choose. SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment or JYP

Entertainment.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

SHINee's Jonghyun went under the knife... because of a car accident.

On April 1st, SM Entertainment revealed “Jonghyun ran into the guard rails on Dongho Bridge... Jonghyun didn’t suffer major injuries, but he got hurt around his nose so he’s currently receiving treatment in the emergency room at a hospital in Gangnam."

To sum it up, SHINee's Jonghyun broke his nose and to fix it, got

a nose job. He's recovering from the surgery as we speak.

Music

Song(s) of the Week:

15& - Somebody

With a marvelous debut back in 2012, 15& is back with
their chart-topping song, Somebody. This jazzy new single is
simply addicting and the music video is definitely
worth the watch. Check out our review of the single here.

Jay Park- JOAH

The Tiffany-biased Jay Park released his new single, JOAH,

on April 9th, 2013. Topping music charts simply on the first

day, I have to say, I am actually really impressed with the come-

back. Jay Park is amazing and will never fail to leave me

at awe.
