Ping N Pong (핑앤퐁) is a project group made up of Superfreak Records’ graphic artist Rarebirth and beatmaker Viann. In the beginning of 2014, the two had one release per week via their respective social network accounts, 10 releases all in all. That was the first season of their project. With the cooperation of VISLA magazine, season 2 started which features at least one more artist per track and a video too. Just like season 1, this season is made up of 10 tracks but progressed over the course of one year.

[x_custom_headline type=”left” level=”h1″ looks_like=”h4″ accent=”true”]Jessi’s bare face[/x_custom_headline]
The above picture made especially male fans swoon over Jessi’s bare face, saying: “She looks so much better without make-up.” – “She seems like she’s actually a friendly noona.” – “Is it really Jessi?” – “Pretty!” – “How cute!”
Have some more of Jessi’s bare face to decide for yourself:

Along with lyrics extracts from Dok2’s ‘We Gotta Know’, ‘Fly Away (Feat. The Quiett)’, and Dok2’s part of Swings’ ‘역주행’, one fan stated that his life changed for the better thanks to those lyrics. Others commented: “I was brainwashed by Dok2’s interviews and am now a more positive person.” – “If you listen to Epik High, the quality of your life will change.” – “Dok2 mentioned before that he has read Rhonda Byrne’s ‘The Secret’ which influences him when he writes lyrics.” – “Wow, looking at the lyrics again, I must say that Dok2 writes lyrics really well.” – “I like it when he writes lyrics like these, you can feel his sincerity.”
[x_custom_headline type=”left” level=”h1″ looks_like=”h4″ accent=”true”]How much are SMTM4 producers paid?[/x_custom_headline]
A few people are discussing this, as apparently the producers receive different amounts of pay due to how busy/popular they are. One user suggested (from lowest to highest pay): Loco < San E < Verbal Jint < Jay Park < Paloalto < Jinusean < Zico < Tablo
This was obviously immediately contested by others, some saying that Jinusean should be getting paid the most, that Paloalto is probably getting less, that Jay Park should be getting more than Zico … What is your opinion?
[x_custom_headline type=”left” level=”h1″ looks_like=”h4″ accent=”true”]Jung Sangsoo is a North Korean spy?![/x_custom_headline]
One user posted the left picture, causing people to crack up at the striking resemblance between the North Korean in the picture and rapper Jung Sangsoo. (Click on the picture for original size.)
[x_custom_headline type=”left” level=”h1″ looks_like=”h4″ accent=”true”]Korean hiphop in three syllables[/x_custom_headline]
Someone suddenly had the idea to define Korean hiphop in three syllables: 이.센.스 [E SENS].
More people quickly joined the game with their own definitions: “Keith Ape: It is sex” – “It sucks bad” – “Please explain” – “Politics” – “Yoon Mirae” – “타블로 [Tablo]” – “Oppa’s car” – “God E SENS” – “Wannabe” – “Kimchiphop”

Rumor has it that DJ Premier and Pete Rock have worked together with The Quiett for his new album ‘1Life2Live’. Most Korean hiphop fans can’t wait for the album and are already set on buying it. They are pretty sure that there will be less bragging about money and more smooth sounds. Someone who went to one of the Illionaire Tour 2015 concerts said that while they were waiting for the concert to begin, one of The Q’s new songs was playing in the background and it was super smooth! The album is apparently in the final production stages.

“I had no idea this ever happened.” This video amused many, especially seeing the serious Deepflow in it. The cute cameo of Zion.T (who helped with the chorus) garnered people’s attention too and they praised the song’s high quality.

While Paloalto is currently the center of controversy due to his appearance on SMTM4 and his collaboration with Hyorin, newcomer Nafla is getting endless praise and applause, notably for his latest music video ‘Foothill’: “Awesome vibe” – “Not only the music is awesome, the video is too!” – “What a killer beat” – “I wish he’d give concerts in South Korea” – “All his music videos seem to be dope” – “It’s been a long time since I last watched a music video with my mouth wide open”
