Park Keonu left LEDApple. ㅠㅠ + "Run To You" mini-album review

My prediction came true.. So he really did left. 

 

At first when the news of them coming back surfaced, I was overjoyed. Yes, adding to the fact that ZE:A was coming back on the same day, but anyway.. I loved the current line-up with the current 6 members, and I really liked their "Time's Up" & "Sadness" songs so I was really looking forward to their upcoming first mini-album with the current 6 member line-up. 

They debuted two years ago, right? With I-Oh and other members. They have so many member line-up changes.. I-Oh got tuberculosis.. Only Hyoseok & Youngjoon are the only members that are still here since debut. Well, at first I remember checking out their debut MV song "Dash" and seeing this blonde guy I-Oh 3/4 of the time in the MV, I wasn't really attracted to them. So.. yeah I didn't pay much attention to them.

But then 2012, I watched LEDApple's "Time's Up" performance on Music Bank and that's when I started to take notice of them more. I watched their short MTV variety show of 8 episodes "LEDApple Entertinment Dan" or something. Hanbyul & Hyoseok caught my attention, but then again, I find it hard to find a fixed bias. 

Here's the member line-up changes. 

 

Okay so allkpop just posted the article of Keonu leaving LEDApple here. Here's what the official fancafe stated:

 

“Hello. This is LEDApple’s manager. I regret to inform you of this disappointing news. First of all, I’d like to send my apologies for having to give you this news during their official promotions as well as thank those of you who have loved LEDApple. Due to health issues, KeonU has not been able to participate in promotions, and after a thorough consultation with the company, it’s been decided that he will discontinue LEDApple activities to focus on music composition. We ask that you encourage and cheer on LEDApple and KeonU who are working hard to show a more developed side of themselves during this chaotic time. Thank you.”

;A;.....

Even the chart up there stated the years till 2013.. ;A;.. 

 

Moving on to their new mini-album.

Run To You MV

"Run To You" is a really lively song which suits the summer season. Though it does sound like CN Blue's style, I don't mind though. Their genres kindda clash sometimes. Well, I like Hanbyul's voice. Kyumin's is just adorable. Hev you watched the MV? The style is like their previous MV "How Dare You" as in the camera effect?? I guess.. 

Okay their next song is 영희야. I don't have a clue as to what it means in English, and I'm too lazy to search it up. So this song has that.. uh.. retro? fell. okay Imma fail being a critic at this point since I'm not that good at distinguishing genres. Well, this song is fun to listen to, I should say. I just can't get enough of Jason's voice. There'e this one part which keeps repeating throughout the chorus, and it sounds like one of the well known English congs but I don't remember the title.

Third song is titled 'Yeah'. I like this song too. It's makes you feel relaxed and easy-going. To me, it's like that kind of song where you party in the dark under the stars and blast the music out loud. There's this catchy beat to it that makes me tap my foot & nod my head to the music. 

Last but not least, Keonu's solo song featuring Kyumin, titled "Something Wrong". Honestly, I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. My inner LEDA self was practically crying at how beautiful the song is and the fact that Keonu's singing. That was before I heard about the news that he left. Then, after replaying it twice, and while I felt like I was floating on the clouds, my sister told me that Keonu had left the group. I was like, "No he didn't! He just had health problems!" Then I checked on twitter, and LEDAs were talking about it. I need concrete proof so still doubted the information. However, not long after, allkpop posted about it. And since kpop fans' number 1 news source about kpop is mainly allkpop, of course I had to believe it.  At first they put Hyoseok's picture in the article instead of Keonu's but after many other people & I  pointed it out, they changed it to Keonu's picture. When I refreshed my page and the picture was Keonu's, I whined. 

Keonu just joined the group last year! Why did he have to leave so fast... I really like the fact that they included the touch DJ emulator and that Keonu's the only one who uses it. Instead of the basic drums, guitar, bass & vocalist a normal band has, LEDApple seems more advanced and high-tech, even their songs. I really loved "Time's Up" MV in which Youngjoon uses the touch electric guitar, Keonu with the touch DJ emulator & Hyoseok with the electronic drums. Not to add that Hanbyul & Kyumin dance along to their songs.

And when they came back with Sadness and all of them had red hair, I spazzed seriously.

"We were half asleep when we went to the hair salon, and when we woke up, our hair was red."  - Hanbyul

The dance moves are simple but catchy. The leg part has that Infinite's Come Back Again feel, right? Oh but I don't really like their striking bright outfits. Especially the orange ones.. It's okay, but it's just too bright for my poor eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay so, Idk what I should say anymore. I'll just put up these gorgeous amazing pictures. XD

PICSPAM TIME!

This. is such an awesome picture. They all look amazing. And it's damn HQ. Hanbyul, you look amazing.

LEDApple's showcase in Japan. As you can see, Keonu was still not well so he wasn't here.

No Keonu here either. But.. I don't like this picture.. Their faces look oily.

 

XD That's all. Thanks to those of you who took the time to read my ranting and spazz moments. There's not many LEDAs that I know, well actually only one. >,<

 

If any LEDAs or those of you who wants to know more about them, freel free to spam my comment box or my wall. I'd be glad to publicise them. 

 

Beautiful music is meant to be shared.

No referance to LEDApple, but I really love this song, "You Deserve Better" By Verbal Jint ft PHANTOM's Sanchez.
