Royal Pirates are a three-piece Korean rock group from California who got attention by posting rock covers of kpop songs on YouTube. Like Sorry, Sorry:

( embeded under cut )
Other ones I really like:
Mirotic (DBSK) - http://youtu.be/xpKx1ep2gdg
Genie (SNSD) - http://youtu.be/C_QGhziMdOU
Again&Again + I hate you (2PM) - http://youtu.be/GTfT9rSYQdY

I heard they're planning on debuting in Korea soon(ish?) and so I checked out some of the original stuff they've put out, and SHOCKER, I already love them. (shut up redcouchaddict. they aren't a boyband, so I'm totally allowed!)

Disappear MV (this was when they were still in California)



Also I really like Royal Villain - http://youtu.be/r5_iLXRKzgM

And here are a couple ballads:
Like Butterflies - http://youtu.be/WBJKLB6uqSA
One Hundred Roses (by Soohyun of Royal Pirates) - http://youtu.be/zbRze4gsteg (srsly, could this song be any cuter?)

I AM HIGHLY ANTICIPATING A FULL RELEASE. I've heard they don't want to go on the music shows because they don't want to hand sync (which, totally don't blame them) but I really hope they change their minds bc more people need to hear them. STARTING WITH YOU GUYS. :P

What do you think? Are their Philtrums worthy of touching? I NEED TO KNOW. yes Philtrum is a proper noun now and therefore must be capitalized at all times. jsyk.

So I’ve been watching 2PM’s Idol Army which they filmed back when Jay was still part of the group. Basically on each episode, the 2PM boys typically have a girl group as their guests. The boys are supposed to prepare an individual charm, lure a lady to pick them as their ~ partner~ and go thru a series of games/challenges as a couple. However, on this particular episode, SHInee shows up. Lol. Read: Ridiculous fan service ensues.

Nichkhun (the Thai Prince) starts his dance of love and sets his sight on Minho…and so their ~romance ~ begins. This clip basically summarizes their cuts from episode 14 & 15 in 9 minutes. They have their own Boys over Flowers soundtrack, with a little bit of Coffee Prince thrown in. It is widely amusing, mostly because Nichkhun totally goes for it and I love it.

FYI: Apparently Nichkhun has a reputation for having the sexiest wink, but Minho winked and did the lip thing, which clearly means he won. Sorry Khun.





(You can also tell that Jonghyun didn’t get the memo that the performance was about Minho, because his singing was far louder than Minho’s rapping hahaha)

SURE, SHISUS IS PERFECT
SURE, TOP HAS THE ADSGFAJDSGFJSDGFSJDF FACTOR

BUT THEN WE HAVE TAECYEON
