omonatheydidJapanese Version:
Korean Version:
I definitely would not call myself a ZE:A fan (what is their fandom called?) but this year I discovered I like some of their music. Unexpected!
I first began to pay attention ZE:A because of the obvious irl OTP ZE:A Hyungsik and 4Minute Jihyun on The Romantic & Idol, which aired about a year ago. Then ZE:A Kevin was adorable and Australian on The Romantic & Idol 2, and I knew I would have to actually bother to follow their music because I love these two members. (The only ZE:A song I liked until then was "Here I Am" because it's so incredibly cheesy.)
You can watch some official clips of HyungshikJihyun (Jihyungshik?) couple set to ZE:A's "Beautiful Girl" in this official mv. Hmm, maybe it's time to rewatch The Romantic & Idol....
Hyungskik even released a solo version of this ZE:A song to confess his feelings for Jihyun. Their love is real!
If you never bothered to watch The Romantic & Idol, DO IT! Kshownow has uploaded all of the episodes with English subs for Season 1 and Season 2. You can even follow along with the omona discussion posts in this tag: http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/tag/the romantic & idol
ZE:A5 Japanese debut mv and mini "The Classic"
In January of this year, the subgroup ZE:A5 debuted in Japan (with a mini and MV) and a few months later they debuted in Korea (with a different mini and a different MV). Kevin and Hyungshik are both in ZE:A5. So are Minwoo, Dongjun, and Siwan (I'm not sure who they are though).
ZE:A5 is really good! They are also hilarious! You should watch their interview on Mnet Jjang, it is totally worth your while.
Stream the other two songs on their Japanese mini "The Classic" here on youtube
ZE:A5 Korean debut mv and mini "Voulez-vous"
Stream their Korean mini "Voulez-vous" here on omona
ZE:A Korean comeback mv, dance practice, and mini "Illusion"
I only recently learned that there are 9 members in ZE:A and not 15 like I had thought (lol). But when all 9 of them are on stage, their formations are weird and they really take up a ton of space. Other huge groups don't feel that huge to me. idgi!

The best songs from SPECTACULAR: Never End and Body To Body
While I was freaking out over the ZE:A5 songs, a few great omonazens asked me "WHY have you not heard SPECTACULAR?!"
I had to do some research. Apparently ZE:A released a studio album called "Spectacular"
in 2012, who knew? But now that I've heard it, I must repeat this to you: WHY have you not heard SPECTACULAR?!
If you need a new song to pump you up during your workouts it is definitely this one. As much as I love VIXX, "Body To Body" is obviously the superior kpop song that spells out the word B-O-D-Y. (For some reason they performed this as a follow up single and it is weird.) But the lyrics are great.
The other ZE:A subgroup, ZE:A 4U
There is also another ZE:A subgroup (Kwanghee, Heechul, Junyoung, and Taeheon) called ZE:A 4U, but I don't really have thoughts about them because I only care about Hyungshik and Kevin, and they're not in this group, so....
