..Oops, I meant genre change, although one definitely does look manly.

As One, our 2 favorite Korean Americans are back with a new singles album titled "Double Star" (released today).

As One has decided to follow the craze of house/dance songs that has recently flooded the market (Epik High's "One", Jewelry's "One More Time" Remix). The album contains a total of 5 songs, three of them being new remixes of previous hits (what else is new). The two new songs, "Kiss Me" and "You" are pretty catchy but have short rapping bits by an unknown male idiot. The album "Double Star" is supposed to symbolize unity and "the perfect unison of one"...since when does 2 equal 1?

Anyway, the two R&B singers have decided to change their look to go along with the change in genre. Crystal is more "feminine" and Lee Min has adopted a "cute boyish look." Because two totally opposite things, once again signify unity, of course.

These girls have been around since 1999 and it's great to see them doing well, or rather stil alive. Regardless, it nice and refreshing to see the girls changing things up, as I hate R&B groups like Fly To The Sky who release the same album over and over.

I listened to ‘em.. And I guess it’s because they always sang ballads, that their new songs just don’t sound right.. *drops minialbum in recycle bin*

maybe they’re referring to double star in an astronomical sense, in which it’d make pretty good sense. not their fault that you don’t understand their album title. when i first saw the name double star i immediately thought of binary star systems..

no, they for sure are referring to the binary star systems.

I’m glad to see you also took astronomy 101.  Were you in astronomy club too?

FFTS was one of my favorite duos.
BUT DAMNNN, HWANHEE IS LIKE WOAH.
Not in a good woah.
What’s with his face now?!
As One is okay, they are pretty talented, and I like the fact they are changing their songs to “fit in”.

fly to the sky does kind of sound ehh after a while but i think personality-wise they make up for it

as one… i actually liked their rendition of magic castle and who isn’t trying the whole dance music thing after wonder girls?
