LED Apple (Korean band)

☆ Sound of the Week! ☆ Video of the Week!

This time, I will smash the sound of the week, together with the video of the week. Since it all connects.

LED Apple is coming out strong now. And the sound they are bringing, really grows on me more and more. 

LED Apple debuted in 2010 with a remake of Baek Ji Young's song "DASH". They gave it an entire makeover, with their rock sound. LED Apple is under the label STORY Entertainment, and where kept a secret until they debuted. Story Entertainment wanted them to become successful through their abilities, entirely. - They will become an idol group that can dance, sing rock and ballads and play instruments, all at once. Unfortunately they changed the members to many times.

In June, 2011, LED Apple did a comeback with the single "Who do you think you are", with a few changed members. And with that mini album, they released four new songs other than the main single. 

Today, they made a comeback stage with "Someone met by chance" on Inkigayo. The "CODA" single album came out this November with the mentioned song, and also a DJ remix on "Who do you think you are"

I like the feeling and the fact that they are a band who plays instruments. A bit like C.N Blue and F.T Island, which I adore. I shouldn't compare those though. They don't really have the same feeling, just that all of them are a "band" - more than a "singing group".   

LED Apple started of as a five members band, but people have left and others have arrived. And finally they are a band with six members, changing it a third time. Since this is confusing for me too. I don't really have a lot of info about them.

Young Jun (Seo Young Jun) born in 1990, Guitarist and Leader.

Han Byul (Jang Han Byul) born in 1990, Main Vocalist and rap.

Kyu Min (Lee Kyu Min) born in 1993, Main rapper and vocal.

Kwang Yeon (Kim Kwang Yeon) former ZEU, born in 1993, Bassist and rap.

Hyo Seuk (Kim Hyo Seok) born in 1993, Drummer.

KeonU (Park Keon Woo) born in 1991, DJ. 

As you may see, Han Byul and KeonU are new members before the comeback now in November, 2011. Before this, Jae Hoon where the Vocal of the group. And they where only five members in total. Now, in the live performance KeonU plays the keyboard and seems to be some sort of DJ, since the band have other sounds than just the regular band sounds. So I call him a digital performer.

Anyways, first off is the [Video of the Week] - And this have been hyped because actor Nam Gyu Ri is in it, as a very cool cyborg girl. She acted in the drama "49 Days", one of my favorite dramas this year. And Nam Gyu Ri, is really well fit to be a flawless cyborg.

LED Apple's MV's are pretty high budget nowadays. A lot of improvement from before. This "drama version" is really beautiful.

And then, moving on to the MV of the tune and the [Sound of the Week] - I like the guitar Young Jun have, I want one. Don't know if it really works though.
