WG

Watching all the Two Different Tears lives really make me miss Sunmi so much. I really do wish her all the best and hope she's happy studying but I hope she knows that she'll always be part of the Wonder Girls to us.
She's extremely underrated, everyone likes her but I wouldn't say she has the biggest fanbase, such a pity really. It's generally acknowledged that she's an all-rounder; good voice, pretty face, can dance. And the longer she's gone, the more I regret not paying more attention to her when she was still performing.
She's honestly my favourite voice in WG, even though Ye Eun admittedly has the strongest one. There's just a very interesting quality about Sunmi's voice.

She starts singing arounnd 1:00
And I love that she's ALWAYS consistent during lives.



And heres Two Different Tears. Wonder Girls never disappoint(though to be honest I was expecting something a little catchier) And here we see them with the temporary member Hyelim from China.
Sidenote: I LOVE LOVE LOVE how there are SO MANY female fans, shows how likeably WG are and don't just flash their thighs like some other group to get male fans *cough*
Also, I absolutely adore how the fans are including Sunmi's name in the chant.
Hyelim, what can I say about her. I feel so bad everytime I think it, and this thought usually never crosses my mind, but whenever her face flashes across the screen, I think "Oh gosh, can't you get some work done on your face?"

It's not like all the girls in K-pop look extremely pretty(quite the opposite in fact, more plain faces than you'd imagine) but they all at least don't make you cringe when you look at the screen. Plus the rest of WG is rather attractive(plus Yoobin who is SUPER GORGEOUS) and putting Hyerim right beside them doesn't help at all.

See, rest of WG:

And then suddenly:


Just ain't working for me. She looks so terribly awkward and she looks seriously unattractive. And I know, blah blah so superficial, but come on, she's supposed to be an idol. Even the supposed atypical looking "non-pretty" idols in k-pop are somehow freaking hot.
For example, CL. Not your usual pretty girl, and YG has come up to say so many times its not about looks, and they're right, CL is so bloody talented and has so much charisma that it's hard to find a sexier 19 year old.

It's just not working. I've been trying to like her because the WG seems to(and that means she can't be bad right?) but I'm completely not feeling her. Maybe next time

A day late but...

Happy SHINEEVERSARY!

Ah, my first love. Even though DBSK has long eaten my soul, I still remember these 5 bright-eyed boys that lured me over to all things k-pop. I remember still reading Popseoul for their Plastic Fantastic articles, noticing SHINee and thinking "What's the deal, none of them are cute. I'll never understand this kpop rubbish."
But things change and well, the rest is kind of history. (On a side note, I remember looking at DBSK and thinking, "Wtf, biggest stars in Asia my ass. None of them are particularly goodlooking. Especially THOSE TWO." [So sorry to Chun and Changmin, who I now think are so goodlooking that if they were to stand in front of me, I might collapse)] Seriously, what crack was I smoking? I remember during my initial stages of SHINee love, WX and I were talking about how DBSK and she said something about how their concept doesn't appeal to her because its too mature and I distinctively remember promising her that I would never like DBSK. WTF? What was wrong with me?)

Anyways, as much as I love the direction SHINee is heading in, I really really miss thhe Noona Neomu Yeppo days. One of the best songs of 2008 and really one of the cutest concepts. It really suited them and aurgh, would it kill SM if they didn't make SHInee grow up so fast?



I miss them like this so much ;_;
I hope their comeback will be as awesome.
