2AM is moping for you. They need love!

What a great weekend. It was Christmas in K-Pop, and we’ve been gifted two new music videos from the two buzziest acts out there today. 2AM’s well-reviewed love-ballad-stuffed EP has its first video, and the adorable boys of the brand new group F.cuz have re-done their first video with a sleeker, handsomer look. (We miss the old adorable ragamuffins, tho!) Check ‘em out.
