[ Dong Bang Shin Gi - Hug] Tracklist : 1. Hug (Po-ung) 2. My little princess (Itjanhayo...) 3. My little princess (Accapella) 4. Oh holy night 5. Hug (Po-ung) (instrumental)   [ Review ] 1. Hug (Po-ung) Hug is a mid-tempo pop song, with, for the first time since it is their first single, Dong Bang Shin Gi's vocal harmony in some parts of the song such as the chorus. Some will just like hearing it sometimes, the others will love it... But i think you just can't hate this song. There is also a faster part in the song which is a dance part. 2. My little princess (Itjanhayo...) "My little princess (Itjanhayo...)" is also one of Dong Bang Shin Gi's classics. It is a ballad with a slight R&B feeling, in which you can hear the group's accapella abilites a lot. 3. My little princess (Itjanhayo...) (Accapella) So, it is not very surprising to have an accapella-only version of this song ! Those accapella versions are always very pleasant to hear, because you hear the background voices very well too (they are done by the members too of course). This version is shorter than the original one. 4. Oh holy night (Feat. BoA) This single was released in winter, this is why this cover is included here. It is an accapella version too. There is a long accapella introduction, then the members are the one starting to sing the main voices and after one verse and chorus, BoA's part arrives which is one full chorus with her voice and the members' voices in the background. It is really something you could listen to for Christmas. 5. Hug (Po-ung) (instrumental) Conclusion This single introduces very well Dong Bang Shin Gi's career. The main feature in this single is their accapella abilites. "Hug" is the main song so it is not too slow nor too fast for a first single, but the three following songs are in another genre, very pleasant because it is very calm and beautifully sang.
