Making her solo comeback on August 21, HyunA has revealed her title song.
At noon on August 21, HyunA will release her 4th mini album ‘A+’ and the title song is "Because I'm the Best (literal translation).’ Using the ‘Ratchet’genre as her base, her new song is a dance track with a strong bass and calm beat. It is completed with HyunA’s unique voice and BTOB Jung Ilhoon’s featuring.
In the additional teaser image that was released together, it shows HyunA perfectly expressing the title. Sitting in a car and looking at herself in her rearview mirror, HyunA is full of charisma.

Jung Ilhoon will showcase his powerful rap in HyunA’s song and the two boast great teamwork. He previously featured in HyunA’s song for her second mini albumand through consistent communication on music, has been chosen as the main featuring for her title song this time around.
This comeback comes about a year since HyunA’s last solo song ‘RED.’ With the release of teaser images and the trailer, anticipation for HyunA’s return is high and fans can’t wait to see her drastic transformation.
Meanwhile, ‘A+’ will be released on August 21 at noon.

Date: 2015-08-14 10:24 pm (UTC)When cube mediaplayed red, i remember there was little about the song, more why hyuna chose the title and how she wants to make red her own brand or something

ilhoon's rap improved since 2012 but he can be pretty embarassing on his own so...

Date: 2015-08-14 10:39 pm (UTC)My google search for 래칫 is leading me to articles like these: http://ch.yes24.com/Article/View/28362 ...I can't read korean, but it seems (to me at least, maybe I'm wrong) they adopted it as a rough(?) equivalent from american pop culture, without fully understanding it and why it might be inappropriate.

Date: 2015-08-15 12:23 am (UTC)It goes 1. sungjae (obv) 2. minhyuk (rapper/vocal/olympics golden medalist in prev life/visual/likes to take ero selcas) 3. ilhoon (chic rapper, v done with everything) 4. changsub (everyones bias) eunkwang (main vocal, really nice person) hyunsik (everyones ideal type) 5. peniel (guy from chicago that is often called useless, its sad and not true)
as far as i know, counting number of fansites, general relevance, crazy possesive fans etc. added characteristics so it's easier to grasp

Date: 2015-08-15 03:13 am (UTC)I like them all equally tbh, I can't really pick a fav member. I stick to saying ilhoon is my bias cause it started this way and would be bothersome to change, but all of them grew on me. Peniel is a fun guy off stage but sometimes I wonder what he did for all these years he spent training under jyp? He aint bad tho, just btob in general is a very strong team so it shows when someone is lacking :/

He's actually a decent human being. Full of deep thoughts and internalised bs like we all are.
I like how he doesn't try to be swag hip hip (at least not as much) like 90% of idol "rappers" and has book references in his raps or some clever wordplay. There was a tv show called 'Grandma is in First Grade' about teaching illiterated grandmas and he really shone there, taking care of people even when cameras weren't rolling and in the end everyone only called for him.

Date: 2015-08-15 03:03 am (UTC)Maybe because btob is relatively unknown tbh and people dont bother to check them out so its easier to hate than just spend a minute or two on actually hearing him rap. He's more a tablo/verbal jint kind of rapper, mostly idols go for gd/zico/dok2 style so maybe its harder to appreciate. Just my guess, Im biased :p
