It's hard for me to describe it. The song is centered around this one guy with a very throaty voice, he's got a very strong voice, and then there is this chorus of guys repeating something that sounds like balga, balga. I don't know what they're saying. I hear it often on the street and in on PC bangs, and this guy is a big star, I am sure, because I heard his voice before.

Any ideas?

Lee Ssang, but another song. Anyway, this guy's amazing. He's not like the K-Pop crowd and has some soul to him. Anyone a fan of this song?


Update: I found the song.

The chorus is catchy, but the first verse doesnt really flow well. Lee Ssang had a bunch of good songs from the past, but it seems like they are following the trend of a lot of korean groups nowadays, trying to be sexy or focus on that subject of a persons appearance/things close to that nature

What old songs of his do you like? However, he still sounds great as far as I am concerned. What Koren music do you like? I haven't heard much discussion about Korean tunes on here. I do think that overcommercialization does a disservice to people with a quality voice like him.

As far as solo guys, him and Wheesung are really good. There's also classic Kim Jung Kook and Kim Tae Won from G.O.D fame.

4shared.com is a great place to download free Asian music but watch out for the viruses.

Check out Nate music and allkpop.com for all Kpop related. Watch music chart shows to see what's hot.

Actually since i grew up with the original korean "boybands" (lol) i like a lot of the late 90s to 2000's. H.O.T., Shinhwa, MC Mong's older stuff, drunken tiger, People crew, X-teen, some G.O.D., Dynamic Duo, CB Mass, DJ DOC's older music, 1TYM (always my favorite group) and the list goes on haha.

But for the past 5 years ive have a complete difference in music i love. Now im into Jrock, Jmetal, Visual Kei, Oshare Kei, etc. all these styles of japanese music really get me pumped! Laughing
