Now it's about time for me to post about who are the 2011 K-Pop best solo female..So here's the list:
2011 K-POP BEST SOLO FEMALE
10. HWAYOBI
HWAYOBI is a R&B singer..She is one the best female singers in Korea..She got a really soulful voice and very nice husky voice..For 2011 she came back with her single, I'M OK..And this song is so cool..It is a really good and a nice song from her but dunno why the song didn't get much attention from the fans..Apart from I'M OK, she also collaborating with ILLINIT in the song LOST where she nailed the song and had make the song even greater with her husky and soulful voice..
9.NAVI
NAVI is actually very talented and she also has a very beautiful and powerful voice..This year she had release two single WELL DONE and DIARY and both of the songs are really nice and beautiful just like her voice..She might look gentle but this girl really can hit the high note effortlessly..
8. KAN MI YOUN
She was actually the lead singer in the girl group Baby V.O.X. After the group's breakup, she moved on to pursue a career as a solo singer..She can be considered as the original idol and she still active until now..

7. LIM JEONG HEE
LIM JEONG HEE is one of the singers under JYP ENTERTAINMENT..Famously known for slow RnB song but this year she made a transformation with her GOLDEN LADY comeback..The song was well received by the fans and had earned a good place in the charts also.. GOLDEN LADY is a very cathcy song that kinda reminds us to BEYONCE's IRREPLACEABLE but whatever it is she is good..She is more famous on the street music scene than on television or the radio. Even before she had her official debut, Lim held countless street performances on her own which led to the creation of her multiple fan clubs.
6. JOO
JOO is another singer from JYP ENTERTAINMENT..She might looks small but this girl got a very powerful voice..Really beautiful and strong..Her single BAD GUY is a really great song and sad too.. She deliver this song powerfully and emotionally.. Apart from that she also collaborated with LEETEUK of SUPER JUNIOR in a song called ICE CREAM ..

PARK BOM is always great when doing solo hehe I've always thought like that actually hehe and this year she came back her hit single, DON'T CRY..Vocally there's nothing to be talk aboit as we had already know she has a powerful n great voice.. And this song is also great and addictive..
4. HYUNA ( 4MINUTE )
This girl is so cheeky n sexy haha.. She always outshine her members in 4MINUTE so that's why she was given the opportunity to go solo.. And her single BUBBLE POP is really great..It's fun and enjoyable.. And the song also receive recognition in overseas where it has been named as one of the best pop song for this year..The MV was also one of the most viewed video in YOUTUBE..

She really have a good voice..When she's with SECRET she always the one who shines the most when it comes to vocal and for this year she went solo with her haunting single GOING CRAZY and the song is so fine..Really great and you won't get bored listening to the song..She can go solo in my opinion coz she got it all, the look, the voice and talent..
2. G.NA
G.NA has been one of the most successful female solo artist now and for this year she started off with BLACK & WHITE that had received great response and had won several music shows..The song is so catchy and quickly garnered attention of the fans..And on the 2nd half of this year she came back with TOP GIRL that also as great as BLACK & WHITE and also received positive response from the fans..
1. IU
There is no other singer that deserve to be in this place except IU..She is the best female singer for this year and probably the best K-Pop artist for this year also..She has created a phenomena over the years by relessing singles after singles that all became killer chart as it managed to be at the no 1 spot in all chart.. She started off with GOOD DAY and the song was a huge success as it came at the top spot in every national chart for more than 3 times.. After the success she starred in DREAM HIGH and also released the ost SOMEDAY that is so beautiful..The song also made a great success..
In middle of the year she released another single, THE STORY ONLY I DIDN'T KNOW which is a great ballad..The song also made a huge success.. And recently towards the end she released newest single, YOU & I that was soooooo good.. So great and cute just like GOOD DAY.. The song also a huge success and had won several music shows.. So, it is clearly that she is definitely 2011 K-POP BEST SOLO FEMALE
I'm going to list down some of the 2011's Best Drama Mv..Here's the list:
2011 K-POP BEST DRAMA MV
10. TRAX - BLIND
This MV is full of emotion.. It's about the guy who have died but still cannot leave his lover and thus still be around her everyday even though she couldn't see him..And the girl still cannot forget about his lover and always thinkin bout him and sometimes she feels like he is just around her..The guy feel reluctant to leave the girl and longing to come back to his lover but he can't.. Seriously this MV is so sad to me..Plus the great vocal that is so emotional and expressive..
9. SUNNY HILL - PRAY
This is one of the creepiest MV I've ever seen..Creepy + Heart touching I must say..It's about this guy who are ugly and probably had some kind of disease that makes him becoming weird in terms of looks and because of that he's been treated like an alien and being hid in a prison ..I feel sad for the guy,he liked the girl because she saved him from the prison but she was the one who killed him too.This is such a sad mv...
8. BROWN EYED GIRLS - CLEANSING CREAM
This is also another meaningful MV as it contains many symbolism..One can have various interpretation when thEy watch this MV..My impression is that the married woman is older sister to the younger, blind girl, who is fascinated by the world she’s not exactly a part of (her sister and brother in-law’s life). Curiously, she gets to know their world by touching and smelling them and everything around them (which, I must agree, would make anyone uncomfortable!). It’s easy to sympathize with both parties — the older sister being led to unbearable frustration by misinterpreting her sister’s actions as an interest in her husband, and the younger girl, who simply wants to join in all she’s missing out on, naturally wanting to grow up.. Whatever it is this is a really good MV..
7. HUH GAK & LE - WHENEVER YOU PLAY THAT SONG
This MV also another great MV as it is full od drama and love story..It started with the guy who's being chased away probably bcoz he ha done some thing bad or crime and she bumped into this girl and hold her to hide away form being caught, and eventually they fell in love and one day the guy being chased once again and got caught and the girl had to live alone..She always thinkin bout that guy even after few years In think and always hope that she will meet him once again..So one day when she walk in the town she heard the music that the guy used to play for her but when she went to the place, she didn't see the guy and walked away when actually it is the guy that she loves that played the music ..So sad..
6. JOO - BAD GUY
This is one of the saddest MV to me..Full of emotion and the MV really do justice to this beautiful song..It clearly conveys the meaning of the song well..It started with the girl go to the house of his ex- bf that are now happy with his gf/wife probably..She determined to revenge on her ex and the ex upon seeing her doesn't feel guilty or what but instead laughing and doesn't care about his ex.And then the girl remembers back the time when they were so happy together and the best part of this mv I think is when the girl compares the difference in look of her ex's face when they were in love and now when he has a new woman in his life..This MV is so sad and at the end the scene where the girl cried out her heart was really heart breaking for me..
5. IU - THE STORY ONLY I DIDN'T I KNOW
This is another great MV.. This video tells the story of a girl who is in the hospital, because they think she's crazy. Everyone says he is her father, because he is a man older than her. But he is her lover. In the end she cries because she realizes that he will not return.. IU's beautiful voice and the storyline of the MV is definitely a great combination..
4. BANG YONG GUK ft YOSEOB - I REMEMBER
This is one of the best drama MV for this year..It is full of drama..Watching it makes me feel like I'm watching a korean drama instead of a MV..Full of tension,love,suspense and all those things that u will normally found in a drama..The actor also did a great job in this MV and his acting is so great until u feel like u want to cry seeing his acting..The ending was so sad, and i got goosebumps when the girl had to see the dead body of his lover..
3. T-ARA - CRY CRY
This MV shouldn't be called an MV but rather a Mini Drama..haha The duration is about 16 minutes.. But the MV was so good..Full of drama..It's about this girl whose been raised up by a man whose actually the one who killed her father when she was a kid..She lives happily and starting to love the man as her father and friend without knowing the truth..The man also love the girl like his own daughter but still feel guilty over the death of the girl's father..One day the girl found out that the man is actually the one who killed her father and being forced to kill the man but she didn't have the heart to do it.. So sad and suspense..
2. DAVICHI - DON'T SAY GOODBYE
This MV is so sad.. And definitely like a Korean drama..It started when the guy found a garbage bag in front of his house that consists of a girl in it..He saved the girl and the girl lived with him until the two started to harbor feelings towards each other..The guy feel happy as the girl seems like the one who is sent to heal his heart as he had lost his GF that was being kidnapped few years ago.. Suddenly one day he got a call from a mysterious guy who asked him the girl in his house now as an exchange for his gf who had lost few years ago..In the end the guy chose to sacrifice the girl for his gf..It is so sad when the girl begging to the guy not to leave her and hand her over to tha bad guy..
1. HUH GAK - HELLO + I TOLD YOU I WANNA DIE
This is definitely the best drama MV for this year..It is made into 2 series of video and since they are related, I put them together as 2011 K-POP BEST DRAMA MV..A very very sad and overall touching piece. Along with Huh Gak’s emotional voice, this MV can move people to tears TT_TT..
This 2-part MV starts with the two best friends Hyun Jin and Junhyung spying on some gangster guys (let’s call them Gang A) because Gang A had killed Hyun Jin’s father previously and they were waiting for the opportunity to excrete revenge. As they discuss their plan for revenge, Junhyung spots Sora attempting to commit suicide and they hurriedly rush over to stop her. Sora sees Hyun Jin and falls in love with him at first sight, and vice versa. As the days go by, Hyun Jin gradually spends more and more time with Sora, neglecting his plan of avenging his father. One night, Junhyung spots an opportune time to attack Gang A and tries relentlessly to contact Hyun Jin, who at that moment was spending quality time with Sora. Unable to get Hyun Jin, Junhyung decides to take things into his own hands and attempts to attack Gang A, only to wind up getting thrashed himself.
Upon learning what had happened, Hyun Jin rushes over after saying goodbye to Sora, only to be greeted by an angry and battered-up Junhyung. Anger clouds his mind, and he heads over to Gang A for revenge. Meanwhile, the blissfully ignorant Sora awaits him at the bus stop and sends him a message which she never got a reply for. Despite being severely outnumbered, Hyun Jin tackles some gangsters from Gang A. Just when he was on the verge of collapsing, Junhyung arrives to help, and the two best friends together fight for their lives. Just as everything seemed to be going well for the two friends, a member from Gang A appears in front of Hyun Jin, wanting to show something in his wallet to him. Blinded by anger, he plunges at the gangster and punches him till he dies, only then finally realizing what the man had been trying to show him - a photo of him and Sora. Appalled and shocked at the fact that he had just singlehandedly killed Sora’s father, another gangster took advantage of his dazedness and backstabbed him twice. Junhyung flings the guy away, but while pushing Hyun Jin out of the way, he himself got stabbed by the gangster and dies.
Hyun Jin stumbles out and drives away to see Sora for one last time before he dies, who had been getting more and more upset as she waited, slowly beginning to believe that Hyun Jin had abandoned her. Obviously in no condition to drive, Hyun Jin accidentally drove on the wrong side of the road, crashing into a car just as he was approaching the bus stop. Determined to see her for one last time, he painfully crawls over to the bus stop where Sora was supposed to be. But it was empty. He finally dies, full of regrets.. Definitely, THE 2011 K-POP BEST DRAMA MV..

2011 K-POP BEST DUO/ FEATURING :
10. IU & KIM YUNA - ICE FLOWER

The powerful n sexy voice of HYORIN blends well with the charismatic rap by the ELECTROBOYZ..
8. ILLINIT ft HWAYOBI - LOST
This is one of the greatest collaboration for me this year but it didn't received much attention since the song was not being heavily promoted..It's really a lost coz the song was really great..The powerful rap by ILLINIT plus heavenly voice of HWAYOBI really make this song a great song..I really love HWAYOBI'S part in this song..I believe whoever listen to her part will fall in love with this song..
7.MIGHTY MOUTH ft SOYA - TOK TOK

This is another powerful and beautiful collaboration for this year..Powerful and beautiful voice of both of them really made this song such a beautiful song..The voice of KIM BUM SOO is crazily powerful and TAEYEON's voice is so beautiful and together they made this song great..
5. JAY PARK ft KANG MIN KYUNG ( DAVICHI )- TONIGHT
This collaboration is probably the sweetest and the cutest ever coz the nice n sexy voice of JAY PARK and the sweet n beautiful voice of KANG MIN KYUNG make this song such a lovely song to listen..KANG MIN KYUNG just make this song even sweeter in addition to fun and great rap by JAY PARK..
4. TABLO ft TAEYANG - TOMORROW

1. DAVICHI - DON'T SAY GOODBYE
This female duo is definitely the best.. Their voice together is enough to make u shut up and listen to them singing.. And this song proves their power vocal and their strong vocal really makes this song as one of the greatest song for this year..LEE HAERI and KANG MIN KYUNG really have a beautiful n powerful voice that will definitely make u feel at peace n at the same time mesmerized with their voice..So, clearly that they are 2011 BEST DUO/FEATURING
For this post, I'm going to list down the songs that I think were a lil bit unfortunate because probably they were released at a wrong time as they came out during other songs from other big names in K-Pop industry were also released..The songs are actually really good and deserve to be at the top spot in every weekly music shows like KBS MUSIC BANK, SBS INKIGAYO, MNET COUNTDOWN or MBC MJUSIC CORE..So, here's the list:
2011 MOST UNFORTUNATE SONGS
5. HELLO HELLO - FT ISLAND
This song is actually really good and deserve to be at NO 1 spot at least once but UNFORTUNATELY, it was released around the same time as BEAST- FICTION which was a big hit among fans so that's why this song hardly get to be at the top spot even though the songs was really cool and great..
4. 4MINUTE- MIRROR MIRROR
This song is also another great song for this year..It has all the qualities of a No 1 song but UNFORTUNATELY, the time it was released is probably wrong as other songs like F(X)- PINOCCHIO, BIG BANG - LOVE SONG and CN BLUE - INTUITION were also being released around that time..Perhaps if it didn;t have to compete with all of these songs, probably they will get a better place in music shows..
3. SECRET - LOVE IS MOVE
Even though SECRET have been doing well this year with their SHY BOY & STARLIGHT MOONLIGHT, but UNFORTUNATELY, for this song they failed to achieve the same success..Not to say this songs doing badly,no it was a success also but it's just didn't get to be at No 1 spot despite of a great and catchy tunes of this song.. This song really deserve to be at the top as it is really strong but it had to compete with SNSD - THE BOYS at the time their song was released so that's why this song didn't get the chance to be at the top spot..
2. T-ARA CRY CRY
This song is soooooooooooooooooo great..Wonder why it never reached No 1 spot in every music shows.. Compared to other songs of theirs, I personally think this song is the best song from them ever.. It was so good,powerful and strong..It possess all the qualities of a No 1 song but UNFORTUNATELY, it was released around the same time with SNSD - THE BOYS and WONDER GIRLS - BE MY BABY so, having the 2 of the biggest names of K-Pop industry as your competitors, really an unfortunate things for them..
1. MBLAQ- MONA LISA
MBLAQ is definitely having a bad luck since their debut as they really struggle to gain attention from fans.. BEAST who debuted in the same year and around the same time as them had already become the A-List name in K-Pop industry but they still didn't receive the same recognition.. And for this song, I can only say, it was really illogical for this kind of songs not to be at No 1 spot..The song,the lyrics, the dance moves and the beats of the songs, all of them are great and nothing was wrong with it but UNFORTUNATELY, it had to compete with 2NE1 - I AM THE BEST, T-ARA ROLY POLY and MISS A - GOODBYE BABY.. It's really frustrating that a great song like this didn't receive the recognition that it deserved..
Now, is the list for the most underrated songs for 2011.These songs are actually good and deserved more attention and better place in the charts but probably because they are not really among the big names in the K-Pop industry so that is why the're being underrated...Here's the list:
2011 MOST UNDERRATED SONGS
10. TRAX - BLIND
Dunno why but I think this song is great..So good and emotional but it didn't receive enough attention form fans..
9. NINE MUSES - FIGARO
This song is actually really catchy and fun.. But still probably because they're not really popular their song didn't receive enough attention..I really have a feeling that if this song was sung by other big names in K-Pop such as SNSD or WONDER GIRLS perhaps this song wouldn't receive this kind of treatment..
8. MAYBEE - GOODBYE VALENTINE
This is another great song to me but it didn't receive much attention from the fans..The song, the dance moves and the MV, everything was great to me but still, it's being underrated..
7. KIM KYU JONG ( SS501 ) - YESTERDAY
Even though SS501 is one of the A-List artist in K-Pop industry but still this song has been underrated..This song is really great..The melody, the dance moves especially was so good.. I don't get it how come this song being underrated..
6. LIM JEONG HEE - GOLDEN LADY
I really love this song coz it kinda reminds of BEYONCE - IRREPLACEABLE.. It was so great and catchy..But fans seem not really care or enjoy this song and as a result, it didn't receive enough attention and being underrated..
5. DALMATIAN - THAT MAN OPPOSED
This song is really great.. I find it very sweet and cute and the dance moves are also awesome.. The vocals of the members for this song especially DANIEL and JISU are really good but since DALMATIAN is not really a big name in K-pop industry so that's why this song being underrated..
4. RAINBOW - TO ME
RAINBOW actually is a good group but still until today they didn't really receive enough popularity and attention from fans..And this song was soooooo good..Catchy and makes you want to listen to it more n more..The dance moves, vocal, the MV everything was great.. Perhaps if this song belongs to SNSD things would be different rite??
3. U-KISS - NEVERLAND
U-KISS is probably the most underrated group in K-Pop industry haha Since their debut, the have never received or reached no 1 spot in all music shows..And as for this songs, I dunno the reason why but this songs are soooooooooooooooooooo great. Freakin great I must say haha The beat, the dance moves and the song itself to me is nearly perfect..I dunno why people underrated this song..
2. LED APPLE - HOW DARE YOU
I'm really pissed off when talkin bout this group..They are FREAKKKKIN GREATTTT I always think WHY THE HELL are fans don't give them much attention..They are so great ok? And this song was too great too be underrated to me.. Love this song so much..Everything about this song is so good, the melody, the MV, the rap part, the vocal and the dance moves.. This song was created by the same composer of CN BLUE - LOVE so if that song was well received and so popular then why don't this song received same recognition when it was equally good?? That is why I said this song is being underrated just because they're not the A-List name in K-Pop industry.. I bet if it is CN BLUE that sing this song, it's gonna be a huge hit..
1. INFINITE - BEFORE THE DAWN ( BTD )
Remember in the previous post I have named INFINITE as 2011 MOST IMPROVED ARTIST? Well this song is actually the song that supposed to receive the right attention and popularity from the fans..This song is PERFECT..yes I think this song is so great, so so so great until I feel like I want to throw a stone to my TV every time I saw this song didn't get a better place in the music shows.. How stupid for the fans not to give enough attention to this song when it is really good and even greater than most of the A-List artists' song that sometimes even I don't get it why people underrated this song and go for the song by those big names in the K-POP when it was actually were not really good.. This song was perfect from the music,melody,the dance moves,the rap part, the MV and the vocal especially..It is thru this song that I started to realize their potential to be standing in the same level as other big names in K-Pop industry..In fact many experts in K-POP also said that if this song belongs to 2PM or BIG BANG probably it would receive more attention..
Ok now, I'm going to list down 2011 BEST SUB UNIT,so here there are:

AFTER SCHOOL RED is actually a sub unit group of AFTER SCHOOL in which the 'red' sub-unit features a firm, powerful sexy concept. The member of the Red unit are KAHI, JUNG AH, UEE and NANA. Their single is IN THE NIGHT SKY.. What's good about them is that they really embody the concept of a powerful sexy lady well thru their songs and their dance moves..
4. AFTER SCHOOL BLUE
If AFTER SCHOOL RED features the firm,powerful sexy concept, AFTER SCHOOL BLUE carries a totally opposite concept as the 'blue' sub-unit have a cute and bright concept. The blue unit are JOOYEON, RAINA, LIZZY and E-YOUNG. Their single is WONDER BOY. Compared to AFTER SCHOOL RED, I love them more coz vocally, they are much stronger thanks to the existence of RAINA in this sub unit hehe and WONDER BOY to me a lil bit more catchy than IN THE NIGHT SKY.

1. TROUBLE MAKER ( HYUN SEUNG & HYUNA )
TROUBLE MAKER is a sub unit group created by CUBE ENTERTAINMENT which consists of HYUN SEUNG from BEAST and HYUNA from 4MINUTE.They can be considered as the best sub unit this year as they have a really strong concept that make people forget totally their respective group.. The single TROUBLE MAKER quickly gain attention and had won a MNet M! Countdown award for 2 consecutive weeks.. The sexy and provocative dance moves plus the uniqueness of the beat of the songs is the factor for the success of this sub unit besides the unexpected chemistry between HYUNA & HYUN SEUNG.The mv is also great as it was very mysterious..
So now is the list for 2011 MOST IMPROVED ARTIST, the criteria for this category is those who in the previous year can be considered as nothing or not the A-List singers in K-Pop industry but this year managed to establish themselves as one of the big names in K-Pop industry..Also, those who have made or bring a totally different concept than what they had been doing before..So here's the list:
2011 MOST IMPROVED ARTIST
5. SUNNY HILL
SUNNY HILL originally had three members — Janghyun, Seungah, and Jubee, then added a fourth member, named Kota, and later in 2011 a fifth, named Misung. They debuted in 2007 and their music was described as warm and sunny, just like their name. Their goal was to load off your mind in music without necessarily winning any awards. So tha's why before this dorg kurang dpt perhatian and terkenal.. In 2010, dorg ada feature dlm lagu NARSHA - MAMMA MIA and the group got the name Narsha group since they weren't well known and a lot people asked who they were In 2011, they come back with a whole new concept with their single MIDNIGHT CIRCUS..This time they managed to break out of their old concept and gain attention form the fans..They received a lot of praise and attention for their transformation and especially their Ijin Dance, in which they wipe their fingers from the left to the right on the ground.. The song itself was really good, dark and sometimes kalo xkena gaya rasa cm seram pn ada haha very mysterious especially MV dia.. Best sgt.. After that, dorg release 2nd single, PRAY yg jgk best but the MV was really creepy to me huhu sgt interesting but scary haha..
4. SISTAR
SISTAR is a four-member South Korean girl group under the management of Starship Entertainment. The members are: Hyorin, Bora, Soyu and Dasom. They debuted last year but not really successful that year.. But this year is probably the luckiest year for them as they are now standing in the same level as other big names in K-Pop industry.. Starting from their sub unit SISTAR19 who were loved by many people to the appearance of HYORIN in KBS IMMORTAL SONGS that probably being the biggest factor that have contributed to their success now.HYORIN had managed to show and introduce SISTAR to the viewers of that show by her powerful vocal and performance each week that also had earned her the title " BEYONCE of Korea".. She totally the best contestants in that show and managed to get new fans and followers from that show.. SISTAR then release their first studio album with no 1 hit single, SO COOL..The single was really successful thanks to the effort of HYORIN..Now, SISTAR are considered as one of the big names in K-Pop industry.
3. SECRET
SECRET is a four member group debuted in 2009 with members HYOSUNG,JIEUN,SUNHWA,and ZINGER.. They had been struggling to gain attention and popularity from fans since last year but only this year they managed to do it.The group is well-known for their transitions to cute and girl-next-door image through songs like "Shy Boy" and "Starlight Moonlight" after displaying a sexy image on their debut period back in 2009 and 2010. Secret won their very first music show award on M! Countdown Secret also managed to stay at number one on Music Bank for three consecutive weeks.

In October, they release their 1st album with single, LOVE IS MOVE.. SECRET now is also one of the A-List name in K-pop industry..
2. BEAST
BEAST debuted in 2009 and had managed to build up their popularity since last year but actually it is this year that they are really becoming successful..It all thanks to their 1st album, FICTION and FACT that had been receiving generally positive reviews saying the group has utilized their full color that has been built up over their past mini-albums.Reviews of their Fiction and Fact album describing them as "one of the most vocally talented idol pop bands in Korea. Their single, FICTION was a huge success to them as the song had won several music shows like KBS MUSIC BANK, MNET COUNTDOWN, SBS INKIGAYO and MBC MUSIC CORE..2011 also marked their debut in Japan where they also made a success there..They also had a concert all over asia including Malaysia and recently they won the Artist of the Year (Daesang) award at the Melon Music Awards in 2011.
1. INFINITE
INFINITE is a seven member South Korean pop boy group under Woollim Entertainment, The group consists of 7 members: Sunggyu, Dongwoo, Woohyun, Hoya, Sungyeol, Myungsoo/L, and Sungjong.. The reason why I chose them as the most improved artist for 2011 is because last year, which is the year in which they debuted, they were really not successful and considered as underdog in K-Pop industry.. Peopla all are talking bout how TEEN TOP would go far this year and even me myself had the same thought..I didn't even include them as in my list last year but this year, things are totally not the same.. Starting in January 2011, INFINITE made a comeback with BEFORE THE DAWN (BTD). The song was reallllllly great..Seriously, first time dgr lagu tu rasa mcm xpcaya kumpulan baru yg nyanyi sbb sgt best n power.. Lagu ni jgk ada dance moves yg diber nama " Scorpion Dance " yg jadi ikutan sbb sgt susah nk dibuat..Start drpd lagu ni aku dh suspect yg dorg ni mmg bagus and boleh pegi jauh then dorg release plak 2nd single NOTHING'S OVER yg totally different from BTD but still sama jgk Bestttt sgt..and once again, dance moves dorg yg sgt best..One thing that I noticed and other fans and experts in K-Pop industry also noticed is that, INFINITE can dance really well and very synchronized but still they can deliver an awesome vocal especially by SUNGGYU and WOOHYUN..After that they release single CAN U SMILE yg sgtttt sweet and jgk best..
In July 2011, they release the 1st album OVER THE TOP, with their hit single, BE MINE..This song proved to be INFINITE'S lucky song as it had won them their 1st award in MNET COUNTDOWN and after that they also won SBS INKIGAYO.. After that, they release 2nd single, PARADISE which also made the same success as BE MINE as it won several awards in music shows.. At this point, they have placed themselves in the same level as other A-List artist in K-Pop industry.. Many senior artis like SNSD,BROWN EYED GIRLS and SUPER JUNIOR also named them as The Artist to be looked for as they also found INFINITE possess strong talent both in dancing and singing..they also named as THE BEST IDOL OF 2011 for their continuous effort and success throughout the year until they reached the top now..So, it is clearly, they deserve to be crowned as 2011 MOST IMPROVED ARTIST..
