He said that though he'd heard a few songs here and there from all of the above groups, he didn't know them too well. He DID mention a group that he WAS into, though, and it came from a rather unusual source- seems he's been a fan of a Korean traveling show called "Tasty Road" and had fallen in love with one of the hosts. There was something about her that made his sure that she MUST be more than "just a host", and going online, he was to find that this girl, Park Soo Jin was indeed more than that- she was from an early 2000's K-Pop band, and the band's name was... SUGAR!
Sugar! You know, the whole time I've been into K-pop I don't think I ever connected Sugar with K-pop at ALL! Though in the back of my mind I knew they were from Korea and had a long Korean career, they have always seemed like a J-POP band to me! But I DID love them so, and even did a blog entry about them and my favorite song of theirs, "Himawari', from the Fukada Kyoko drama "Shiawase Ni Naritai"!
Man, I was SOOO EXCITED when he told me that he was into Sugar! I began blathering on about how much I loved them, in particular Himawari and its parent album COLORS 4 WISHES, which ironically enough, was just about the last album they put out before breaking up! I promised him I would be making a copy of this album for him and have subsequently been replaying it over and over again!
Ahhhh, sure brings back some happy memories!
