Question of the Week (Q.o.W.): How do YOU define Music?
That's such a hard question...

Rome: Music is a language and I truly truly believe that. Many folks have issues, or just don't understand how not knowing a language isn't necessary at all to enjoy that language's music. To me, it doesn't matter. Music speaks for itself.

Adio: Music is an involuntary action. I always seem to find myself dancing to some random tune or beat where ever I am.

Some more responses-
@daehyunkim hey on the question of the week "how do you define music?" Music is my Soul and Heart !.. what keeps me happy and alive.. I listen and play music all the time when im sad and it brings me from reall sad to really happy in the first 2 seconds my favorite songs play
@meriel_ayla same-same here!

@icecapades -Good Music--It's food for the soul. Bad music---It's junk food.

@rainbowparfait- music is beautiful melody that touches human's soul

@dotheworm - Music. It's life.

How do YOU define Music?

9th Show-SM TOWN + Behind the Scenes I

Yo yo yo!

So the show was good right? Thanks for listening to us be us ^_^ We had fun and hope you guys did as well. This time around, we had our Ghost DJ, Sana, in the Studio. She definitely added an extra kick to the show and if you missed it... that's too bad cause it wasn't recorded...

---

The Q.O.W. (Question of the Week) was: Who in Jpop, Cpop or Kpop inspire you? What about them inspire you?

Rome's Pick: Wu Chun. He's seriously amazing. He is super human. After all his FeiLunHai activities (recording, performing, CF's, modeling, acting etc...) he is still able to manage his OTHER responsibilities such as run 2 gyms... That's crazy. Who does that? Someone amazing, that's who.

Adio's Pick: G-Dragon. He is able to re-invent himself time and time again. He is also a MASTER at his craft.

2PM is Missing Something...

To take my mind off of this great TVXQ! Debacle, I began to watch "Wild Bunny" starring 2PM!

In Idol Army, we got to catch a glimpse of what the guys were like. I thought Wild Bunny might take me a little bit deeper into their private lives. I was only expecting to watch an episode of it but... it was so funny that it captured my full attention. Their humor and randomness reeled me within the first 10 seconds of the first episode. The guys seemed so relaxed and didn't care what fans would think of them... they were so weird (and I liked it)! Just them being them cracked me and up and made me wanting more of the boys.

Throughout the 2 episodes I watched, it was non stop laughing (for the most part). Their interaction in Wild Bunny was more than what they did in the episodes I saw of Idol Army. ...but I couldn't help noticing that there was always something missing in the relationship and chemistry between the guys. In Wild Bunny they have inside jokes and are able to joke around with each other... which shows that they are now closer than before. But they still seemed to lack the 'brother bond' that most groups today have. When I say "brother bond" I mean the members of the group don't always seem to have each others back during situations where they should. I won't give details away about what made me think this, because it might spoil the show for some. But it's not just this show that has brought out awkward chemistry between the boys, it seems like it's always been there. They've always lacked that group IT factor that most other groups have.

Perhaps it's because they do not have the years under their belt that some other groups have but it would be unfair to compare 2PM's bond to groups like TVXQ!, Super Junior, or even SS501 who've been around and faced many falls and triumphs together. Or maybe because JYP Entertainment hasn't really had a male group and so they have no one to follow. Perchance it's because they really are the new generation of Kpop... where they don't censor or pretend to be something they aren't.

I really enjoy 2PM's music and love that they are so care free. I can't wait to see what more these boys have to share with us and hope that over time they will become closer. They are a growing group in the industry and at the pace they are going, they can accomplish a lot.
