So is KBS trying to rip off ToToGa?

To be honest, I wouldn't even care if they did, since I am here for any 90s program I can get, but it seems like KBS is doing two back-to-back 90s specials on Concert 7080.

Under the title 90s Saturday Night Fever, the first episode is apparently airing this Saturday night and the second one will be airing the following weekend on the 18th.

I planned on writing about this like a week ago, but as usual I never got around to it, and I also have not seen any articles about this in English so I have to rely on my ridiculously poor translating skills to figure out what the heck is going on. 

The first part should feature Jo Sungmo, Clon, R.ef, Chuli and Miae, Young Turks Club, Ha.E.D, and Cho PD, while the second part will have KOYOTE (!!!), Roo'ra, DJ DOC, Goofy, Wax, Park Mikyeong, and Kim Wonjoon.

Thank god that the 90s retro trend still is not dead...

Stay tuned later this weekend for updates about the show~

OMG: ToToGa Super Concert

Well, ToToGa fever still is not showing any signs of dying down any time soon. Last night, I was surprised to find out that at the end of April (April 25th) ToToGa Super Concert is going to happen!


A press conference was held on the 19th over in Korea for it, and now I am pumped.


Several of the artists who preformed on the Infinity Challenge special will be back for the concert. Kim Gunmo, Lee Junghyun, Kim Hyunjung, So Chanwhee, Jo Sungmo, Jinusean, Turbo, and Cool are all returning.


Hyunjung looked really good so I'm leaving this here.

In total 21 acts are scheduled to appear at the event. So who else is going to be there?

It's kind of awkward to mention it now, given what I had to say in my previous post, but guess who's going to perform? Yeah, my fave trio, Koyote~ I'm on a serious Koyote kick this year, so I won't lie, I am mainly paying attention to this for Koyote, lol.


But anyway...

On top of Koyote, we get even more sweet 90s peeps- Clon, DJ DOC, R.ef, and Roo'ra. Literally these are all like the best groups out of the 90s.


You can never have enough Clon in your life.

Also appearing are Goofy, Young Turks Club, Cho PD, Wax, Park Mikyeong, Kim Wonjoon, Chae Jungan, and flipping Chuli and Miae!

Solid 90s line-up.

Why can't I be in Korea for this?

ToToGa Concert Part 2

The second part of Infinity Challenge's ToToGa concert aired on Saturday night in Korea.

Cool were up first this episode.


They sang "Sorrow" and "Before Sadness Comes," and they had everyone dancing~ Despite missing Yuri, Cool put on a good little show. Lee Jaehoon was amazing and still looked so handsome; he's the soul of Cool so as long as he was there, it felt like Cool. Yewon blended in well- I love Cool, but I also like Yewon, so it all worked well for me.

Next So Chanwhee came out. She still looks super good, sounds super good.


She performed "A Wise Choice" and "Tears."

Old school powerful lady vocalists like her and Kim Hyunjung need more love; there aren't really any singers like them around nowadays. I'm not one of those Kpop fans who are assholes about voices and singing "talent," but I really love the ladies who could just scream it all out.

Jinusean were up after So Chanwhee. The two did "A-Yo" and "Phone Number."


Lastly, they performed "Tell Me," and that's when living goddess Uhm Junghwa came out for the first time~


Then Jo Sungmo was on. He started slow with ballad "To Heaven," but then the party atmosphere was back with "I Swear."


And then it was Lee Junghyun.

Since she is very serious about set design and costumes, her performances were very different from the others.

She did techno classic "Wa."




And "Give to You."



Uhm Junghwa was back again. And I was so crazy pumped.


Literally me too.

She graced us with performances of "Invitation" and "Poison."


During "Poison," Yoo Jaesuk came out filled in as backup dancer Kim Jongmin.



Amazing.

Finally, it was Kim Gunmo's turn.

He performed "Sleepless Rainy Night," "Love is Gone," and as some sort of encore, "Wrong Meeting."


The other 90s dudes were no longer content to sit in the back, and they rushed to the stage...


And they joined Gunmo for his last song.


But "Wrong Meeting" wasn't the end, Turbo got to do "Twist King" as the final encore~


Overall, it really was so good and so so fun. Hopefully, this isn't the last 90s special we'll see.


This was literally my reaction throughout the whole show.

Let's be real, it probably won't be. Both episodes had really good ratings and songs are charting again. Everyone loves the 90s. I love the 90s so flipping much too, you guys.


Also, I put together a mix of the songs performed over on 8tracks so go enjoy~

ToToGa Concert Part 1

Infinity Challenge's ToToGa concert aired Saturday night in Korea.

It all kicked off with the five Infinity Challenge members making an intro dressed as H.O.T but jumping around to Sechskies' "Pom Saeng Pom Sa."


Jeong Junha was Tony, Yoo Jaesuk was Woohyuk, Park Myungsoo was Kangta, HaHa was Jaewon, and Jung Hyungdon was Heejun.


TBH this is a very good look for Jaesuk.

Of course while there was talk about H.O.T, there were no clips of Tony...


A lot of the audience members showed up in very nifty 90s costumes and that was very cool.

The actual concert was hosted by Junha and Myungsoo, with the two dressed as Boom Boom, and they were joined by old school MC Yvonne.



The group first came out singing and dancing to one of the ultimate 90s classics, "Why Do You" by Chuli and Miae.


Turbo were up first. They performed "My Childhood Dream," "Love Is," and Christmas song "White Love."


MBC even broke out old school title cards.


And had a camera out there on the floor to do the annoying zooms and spins popular on 90s music programs.


Turbo still had it~

Next was one of my faves Kim Hyunjung, and she, as people say these days, slayed, though she only did two songs, the hits "Separation" and "Bruise."


She had everyone dancing~


Then it was much anticipated S.E.S' turn on the stage. They sang "I'm Your Girl" and "I Love You."


Obviously, it was sad that Eugene wasn't involved. Seohyun did the job fine, though, and fit in pretty well.

HaHa and Hyungdon also stepped up as RicDy for the "I'm Your Girl" performance.


They only showed a clip of Eric, so I imagine MBC still has a ban on Andy >.>


Bada was amazing... as usual. Seriously, Bada will never let you down. Bada is still better than all your faves. She will always be.


Part 2 will air next weekend~
