Zion T feat. Gaeko - Babay
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84m-0uO39SY
Okay let me just start by saying that this song is just pure genius, it should be number one on my list (but it isn't meaning my list options are really good) I can't stop listening to it, the lyrics, I suddenly find myself being catapulted through time to a stylish late 90s when RnB was just simply amazing. The music video is so sleek, colourful and let's not forget hilarious, the combination of Gaeko's mysterious yet irresistible rap and Zion's creamy (the only word I can find to describe it) voice equals a song worth nodding your head to on your train/car/bus journey.

Bumkey feat. Dynamic Duo - Attraction
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeVmk6SAMvA
Let me start by saying that when I first saw the picture above of Mr Bumkey the first thought that popped into my head was "is this bad boy looking dude a rapper or a singer?"
honestly speaking if it wasn't for this song I wouldn't have fallen head over heels with his beautiful RnB voice, and correct me if I am wrong but he is actually quite charming in the music video. I mean all he wants to do is spend some "alone time" with is girl who happens to be the cute yet classy Ellin from Crayon pop! but it doesn't go as he planned thanks to his meddling friends.
For some reason I wouldn't have chosen her as the leading lady for such a sexy song because of her cute and quirky image as a singer in crayon pop, but oddly enough she pulls off the sexy image naturally and they actually suit.

Junsu (Xia) feat. Quincy - Incredible

Where do I start with this man that God blessed us with? it's no joke that this man is seriously talented, words can't describe how much I respect his music and how much effort he puts in to everything he does, despite the lack of promotional activities he does he still manages to stay on top of music charts well even though summer is over I still have to say this was and is my favourite summer song of 2013 Hands down!
the music video is fun, creative and alive bursting with colours it feels like he wanted to give his fans a message saying "don't worry about yesterday's pain, just let loose and go have crazy fun"
I can't tell you how much this song brightens up my day, it gets me up and dancing when I'm having a hard time and puts a smile on my face.

Kim Hyun Joong feat. Jay park - Unbreakable
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkYBPz4jENA
As I type this right now I'm not going to lie to you, my eyes are currently fixed on this man I won't even apologize for typing nuisance words like banana for no apparent reason, Why? because I know most of you are probably drooling over his picture instead of reading this! but you are forgiven..
where was I... ah yes! Kim Hyun Joong, talented artist singer, song writer, model, actor seriously what hasn't he done? (apart from serenading me of course) this song talks about how he is back stronger than ever and he is unbreakable, plus a little collaborative help from my future husband (in my dreams) Jay park this song became fluid and mature as expected from our Hallyu star Kim Hyun Joong.

Jay park - I like to party
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpkHmgnWx_U
Finally we are here! my ultimate No 1, I don't know about you but every time I hear this song I seriously want to jump on my bed and start dancing like crazy but thanks to my neighbours who keep complaining of the loud music I just have to quietly tap my feet...pushing that aside "I like 2 party" is just a fun and light song to get your groove on.
Honestly I couldn't be happier for Mr Park, he is free to express himself musically and it shows just how much love he has for music and also for his fans I mean I don't see any other idols that has their fandom's name (Jaywalkerz) tattooed on them, just goes to show how thankful he is towards his fans.

Well of course GD is going to be on the list, who else did you think was going to be the MVP of this list apart from the talented, singer songwriter, trendsetter that is Big bang's GD.
I mean no list is complete without him and everyone knows that, now the reason why I like Coup D'etat is simply put in two words: beautifully artistic.
I mean it has so much meaning hidden within the MV, people who know about KPOP know about the trials and tribulations that this young man has been through in the past and I think he channelled all the negative and positive criticism he received into this MV by doing what he does best.. being creative.
So there you have it, my top 5 and bonus of this year so far I should have done a top 10 but then I would have wanted to do a top 20 or more but I don't people would read that much without getting bored. Remember this is purely based on my opinion and shouldn't be seen negatively because at the end of the day everyone is entitled to have their own, I am forever trying to promote the Hallyu wave in my own way that I know (writing) because I truly love South Korea.
