Combined with their boyish good looks and whimsical fashion sense, JJ Project’s fun and lively debut single, also entitled “Bounce,” grabbed the attention of the K-Pop community. Their youthful energy and commanding stage presence have kept fans on their toes wanting more.

These days the boys have hung up their idol hats, returning as serious actors in MBC’s Spring 2012 drama When a Man Falls in Love.

Their songs are all incredibly catchy — “Hangover” and “Where You Go?” especially will get your head bobbing and your foot tapping. Before you know it, you’ll be spitting out Lil Boi’s raps like they were second nature.

Those who already follow Korean hip-hop are sure to recognize quite a few names on Geeks’ collaboration list: Beenzino, Dok2, Ugly Duck, Crucial Star and more.

Fun fact: K.Will has made his rounds through the world of K-pop not only as a singer, but as a prominent vocal coach as well. His most notable student was Boys Over Flowers’ lead actor Lee Min Ho.

K.Will has only released three full length albums and three EP’s over seven years, but each release is packed with multiple promoted singles (as opposed to the standard one or two that you see with most idol groups). His collaboration songs have drawn a lot of attention and among his most successful hits are “Love 119″ featuring MC Mong and “Dropping the Tears” featuring Girls’ Generation‘s Tiffany. Recently K.Will found huge success in his latest singles “Please Don’t…” and “Love Blossom” from off of his third album.
