Please Don’t Go – CL and Minzy (2NE1)
Can 2NE1 do any wrong? CL and Minzy--the youngest members of the Korean HipTronik quartet--have embarked on their own, bringing us the addictive track "Please Don't Go." The song starts off with both girls displaying their raw talent for the flow and culminates in a contrastingly sweet pop chorus. The dance number was produced by YG's own Park Teddy, who's been on a roll of late with hit tracks for fellow Korean HipTronik stars Tae-Yang and G-Dragon. Meant to serve as a treat for fans in light of the postponement of 2NE1's first full-length album, we don't think their fans will go anywhere soon.

Where U At – Taeyang
Though it seems like every member of Korean boy band sensation Big Bang is pursuing a solo career lately, Taeyang is actually already working on releasing his second album. The first single to drop since the 2008 release of "HOT", "Where U At", showcases RnB vocals and choreography that would give Chris Brown a run for his money. But while he stays true to his HipTronik roots (thanks in part to producer Park Teddy), Taeyang embraces an entirely different persona than that of band mate G-Dragon. Without being flashy or obtuse, Taeyang manages to deliver a solid performance--so much so that his video is already receiving praise from those who have never before listened to Korean pop. A sign of things to come, perhaps?
