The hip-hop group 0-24 is produced by Wi Jong Su and Sin In Su. The sixth cut off their album Live in Hip Hop is Chutsarang [MPEG]. Also with a numerical name and a hip-hop sound is 1TYM. This is one of the YG (Yang Hyun Suk) Family productions. Both Good Love [MPEG] and 1TYM [MPEG] from the debut album 1TYM For Your Mind feature YG rapper Perry.

Sorrow is the name of Baik Ji-Young's debut album. She's got one strong voice and she's not afraid to use it. You can listen and watch her debut ballad, Choice [RealVideo] and see if you don't agree.

I can't make up my mind about CLON. Gu Joon-Yup and Kang Won-Rae comprise this group. There were a couple of songs on their most recent album that I really liked, but they may be an acquired taste. You can watch Come Back [RealVideo] and Funky Tonight [RealVideo], both from their third release, Funky Together. The title cut off Crane's debut album, Cocktail [RealVideo], strikes an unusual note in today's world of Korean music. Crane has a warm jazz sound enhanced by the bass guitar and sweet saxophone.

You can also watch the video for Diva's summer hit Gori [RealVideo] on line. Download Naneolwonhae [MPEG] to get a look at Drunken Tiger's hip-hop notions. Completely different than Drunken Tiger is Fin.K.L., the all-girl song-and-dance group created by Daesung. Everlasting Love [MPEG] and Jajonshim [MPEG] are typical of the Fin.K.L. look and style. In line with the all-girl group idea is Han's Band. The work of these three girls can be viewed Sir, I Love You [RealVideo] and Oraksil [RealVideo].

From the four-member rock group, Jaurim, we have I'm Sorry, I Hate You [RealVideo]. Don't ask me to explain the imagery in the video, because I don't understand it. I do, on the other hand, perfectly comprehend Jinusean's remake of How Deep Is Your Love [MPEG]. The romantics can listen to Jo Sung-Mo's ballad To Heaven [RealVideo].

Kim Hyun-Jung performs in Parting Again [RealVideo], a dance song from her second album. Also singing about separation is Lee So-Eun in Jagbyul (Goodbye) [RealVideo] from her first album entitled Little Girl1x

N.R.G. gives us a fast-paced dance song in The World for Us Only [RealVideo]. Park Mi Kyung dances the salsa in Jipchak [RealVideo] while Park Un Shin produces a truly haunting effect in Shulpin Sarang [RealVideo].

Acronyms run rampant in gayo, as evidenced by groups like N.R.G. and S.E.S. Sea, Eugene and Shoo make up S.E.S., which is another one of those glamour groups created by the S.M. Entertainment Company. From their first album, you can view Oh, My Love [RealVideo]. From their second album, Dream Come True [RealVideo] and Neorul Saranghae [RealVideo] are available.

For those of you who haven't downloaded all the Shinhwa you can handle, grab T.O.P. [MPEG] and Yo1x [RealVideo]. Then take Ipamui Kkutul Jabko [MPEG], one of the popular ballads released by the group Solid. Kim Jo-Han (George), Jung Jae-Yoon (Jae), and Lee Joon (John) make up this trio. Cheonsaengyounboon [MPEG] represents the hip-hop side of Solid.

Moving down the alphabet, we have two excellent offerings, Time [MPEG] and Hwe Shim Ga [MPEG] by Taesaja. After that, it's It's You [RealVideo] by The The. This tight rock song is from their second album, The One & The Other. Toy offers a nice ballad in Still Beautiful [RealVideo] from A Night in Seoul. I like the black-and-white effects of this video.

Finally, we close with a hit from Um Jung Hwa's fifth album. Her dance hit Festival [RealVideo] has a fantastic introduction.
