♪ 이젠 널 지울게.. 다 버릴게.. 지난 추억에서 보내줄게.. I don't know why-y-y-y.. Please tell me why-y-y-y.. 왜 넌 항상 또 그 자리에.. ♫
[My rough translation:] I'll erase you now.. I'll throw it all away.. I'll send you away from past memories.. I don't know why-y-y-y.. Please tell me why-y-y-y.. Why are you always there..
The lines above have been playing in my mind over and over again for a few days. They're from a new song called 'Sadness' by a K-pop/ Mandarin pop group called Mystical Formula (M4M). The one I'm particularly referring to right now is the Korean version. There's also a Mandarin version of the song. I don't exactly know why but this song has been on my playlist since the day it was released. In fact, my phone is playing the exact song on repeat as I'm typing this now. I have also been listening to this song while driving to campus and back home. You can say that I've been intoxicated by this song. Haha...it's kind of true. The song is catchy and upbeat in a way that intrigues my musical interest. The official music video for the song is in Mandarin. A few days after the release of the music video, M4M performed the Korean version of the song on Mnet's M!Countdown. The group also performed the Korean version at its debut showcase the day before. When I watched a video of the M!Countdown performance, I was blown away by how good the group performed the song live, along with the dancing routine.

Considering that this group is a fresh rookie group, the members seem to have tremendous talents as well as charm. The fact that this new group has been diligently trained by Cube Entertainment, my favourite entertainment agency, adds to its charm. Of course, I can't simply like a group or a soloist just because they come from my favourite agency. I usually check them out first and give them a chance. I think it has a lot to do with personal preferences on the styles and concepts of music. Cube's style just fits me. It is important to mention here that this group is not completely under Cube Entertainment. It's a collaboration between South Korea's Cube Entertainment and China's Starry Sky Entertainment.
I've been considering to purchase 'Mystery Formula', M4M's first mini album, but I don't think it has been released as physical album in South Korea yet. I'm not even sure if there will be a physical release of the album in South Korea. They would probably release it in China only. But then, I can't be so sure about this yet since M4M hasn't had its official debut showcase in China. Very soon, though. The members will depart to China and debut there. I don't know how often they will promote in both South Korea and China, but I hope that they will promote in South Korea actively too because I want to see them on South Korean music shows. ^^ All the best to Mystical Formula!
And guess what...?
It's BTOB's first anniversary~~~!!
