Baby V.O.X. "Ya Ya Ya"

Baby V.O.X.

All Running Man fans certainly know of the "Love Connection" between Kim Jong Kook and actress Yoon Eun Hye, when they were both on X-MAN, a point that Jaesuk and the others constantly remind him about, and the teasing became so great that I really wanted to see that infamous clip so I looked it up on Youtube. Not only did I get to see the original episode of X-Man (which was hilarious), but I also found out that besides her acting career, Eun Hye got her start in the girl group Baby V.O.X.!

Wow! As one of the seminal K-pop acts along with S.E.S. and FINK.L, I was VERY interested in hearing Baby VOX’s music, and finding out that Eun Hye was in it, decided I'd better investigate immediately!  i then spent an evening watching their videos and variety show clips, and I liked all their songs right away (especially "Killer") but the one I loved most was this cute poppy song called "Ya Ya Ya".

 I find it hard to believe this was a group that came out in the 2000's (well, actually late 90's) because it sounds soooo 80's J-pop. I liked it so much that I put it on a mix even though the style contrast made everyone in the car say "What the HECK is this?" when I played it! LOL
    On Youtube, I found a very recent reunion Baby VOX did on a show called Chocolate, and they did both "Ya Ya Ya", and also "Killer "(!) So I was pretty stoked. The girls are all lovely ladies now. They still sound terrific!  Funny that Eun Hye who is by far the most successful of them as an actress is actually the maknae, and when they were being interviewed, she reverted back to that cute status with them. So much fun hearing stories of their baby VOX days!

Watching and re-watching their MVs, I’ve come to like quite a few of their songs and have tried to get some CDs from them, but they’re all for the most part out of print and they are like really hard to find on ebay, and when I do see some, they command collectible prices, like 85 dollars and such. So so far I've only got MP3s. Anyway, short story long, one night, I was looking for more BabyVOX stuff, and came across a performance of SECRET doing YaYaYa. I don't know what I was expecting, but they do it so well and sincerely, I have to tell you it brought tears to my eyes! It’s so goddamn sweet.
