What Happened on the Month of June

US-based news media PopMatters featured a report on what occurred during the month of June. The article explained about the stars who made their comeback for the month of June. Big Bang's Taeyang released his new music video "Eyes, Nose, Lips"; which he made all the ladies swoon as he showed his muscled body while standing shirtless. The message of his new single is about him expressing his emotions regarding a past lover that he had; which he remembers her "Eyes, Nose, Lips".

Psy released a new music video titled, "Hangover." Psy's new music video is not great compared to his previous hit singles; which were "Gentleman" and "Gangnam Style." Popdust stated, "The song is an abrasive, obnoxious mess of trap beats and annoying hooks"; which Psy fans might agree. Featured on his music video is Snoop Dogg. But watching the music video, notice that Psy and Snoop Dogg did have fun working together because there was humor throughout the video.

AOA is back with a new single titled, "Short Hair." The ladies worked with Brave Brothers once again for this single. Their previous single was sexy concept "Miniskirt." "Short Hair" has an R&B tempo, brass sound, and funky chords to it; which is the same beat like their previous single "Miniskirt." The message of their single is about the girls feeling insecure about themselves. So, each member goes to the hair salon which is ChoA's beauty salon and gets a new hairstyle. The ladies look confident and beautiful with their new look; which they dance sexy and beautiful in the music video.

GOT7 is back with a fresh new summer single titled, "A." The guys once again showed their charm to win the woman's heart. The R&B tempo will make you stand up and dance along with the members; while you say "A" along with them. The lyrics of their song is, "You thought that I wouldn’t know that you liked me / That was cute of you". GOT7 shows their awesome choreography and smiles throughout the music video. This single is definitely one that will make you want to say "A" to a beautiful woman.

T-ara's Hyomin is back and she has released her solo single titled, "Nice Body." So what is a "Nice Body" if your a woman? Hyomin tells you that it is a chest size of 34 inches, waist 24, and hips 36. Her new single is also one that is considered offensive to obese women because on the music video, it starts out with Hyomin being an overweight person who is eating donuts. Then she falls asleep and dreams about having a gorgeous body; which guys love. Hyomin worked with Brave Brothers for her new single; which the chorus is definitely catchy.
