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.

My heart has been in shreds since last august. Not because of the lawsuit, but because I'm so worried about how the boys are feeling about it. I spend whole hours feeling useless about this because really, what can we do?
I feel especially worried about Jaejoong. He has been drinking so much more now that the lawsuit has started and it just tears me up. Getting drunk alone and not even being able to get home by himself? And Mastuura's latest tweet about how Jaejoong's cellphone wallpaper is all 5 of them... I can't even imagine how horrible he feels. He goes crazy and paranoid, texting them non-stop on their ten measly off days a year, so I don't know how he's surviving right now. Please, please, if I could I would get on my knees and beg SM to please let them see each other. Can't they tell how much it hurts all 5 of them? Even if they are pissed off, I'm sure they must have some degree of fondness for these boys that they raised?
Can't they tell how hollow Changmin's cheeks have gotten without his umma to feed him? Can't they tell how they don't smile as much anymore?
I really want to find Junsu and tell him its okay, to tell all three of them not to feel guilty about the whole thing(I don't know about yoosu, but poor Jaejoong is quite obviously dying from it) and that we'll wait for them no matter how long.

This is an angry post. Do not read if uncomfortable.

I don't like drama. I have a tendency to make friends with people who don't create unnecessary problems in a friendship, whether intentionally or otherwise, but I like it that way. The first 16 years of my life were fantastic like that. And then I don't know what changed(well I guess, the people I was associating with changed) but suddenly every few months some issue will pop up. Its so frustrating. I'm just so sick of it all, I thought leaving that hell-hole would mean leaving all this bullshit behind but apparently not.

Why are some people so fucking petty? I tolerate your bullshit, and in all honesty, I was never interested in any sort of friendship with you in the first place, so why are you going around acting like you HAVE to put up with me. You aren't doing me any favours, I can tell you that. First time this happened, I thought, "Well this is fucking stupid." But whatever, I forgive, I move on, I overlook these sort of petty things that you seem to adore clinging onto. You apologised, you near GROVELLED and I said forget it, we can still be friends.

Now 5 months on, I'm regretting that decision. I don't need you insulting me(I don't care if its unknowingly, I'm a pretty hard person to offend, but day in day out you trample on EVERYTHING I believe in and talk down to me like I'm an 11 year old girl with my hair still in pigtails) in practically every conversation, but then get ridiculously offended if I even say something (NOT EVEN NEGATIVE MIND YOU) about you in a joking manner. Fuck you and your bullshit, tell my friends how 'I constantly insult you' for all I care, you should see how they roll their eyes knowingly because they know that I definitely do not do that.

Take your sorry excuse for a friendship and shove it up your ass. I'm purging you from my life. And if you haven't noticed, not ONCE in these 5 months have I ever started a conversation with you, or even participated in one enthusiastically. Don't make it seem like you are doing me a favour talking to me, because honestly, I talk to you because I feel bad that you have no friends.

Don't tell me I don't know how a friendship works, I am friends with some of the best people I know and would go through hell for them. You're the one that constantly bemoans how no one cares about you, so work it out, am I the one that doesn't know how to cultivate a friendship or is it you?

I don't need you, or your drama. You are by far the pettiest person I know. I hope I never see you again.

I can haz banana milk? D:

2010-03-20T11:15:00.001-07:00

So I've sent in my applications, just have to make the payment and write one more essay and I'm done! So the A's turned out pretty okay, some teacher's were a little disappointed, but I thought it was a fair grade considering how much time I actually spent studying versus how much time I spent falling alseep, thinking about DBSK and watching pointless documentaries during cram period. Of course I feel a little indignant about my econs grade, because I thought I could have tried harder but things don't always turn out how you expect them to, and in the end, I guess that's alright.(Thank heavens for the bell curve btw, because under normal circumstances, the essays I handed in across all 3 subjects probably wouldn't have gotten what I received)

Anyways, my violin exam is in 5 days D: And I am not ready! I sound decent when I practise normally or play in front of my teacher, but once I start playing with the piano, something in me halts and I sound bloody awful! It's so ridiculous, in my mind I know what i'm supposed to be doing, but seriously, in my head I'm thinking, okay piano at this part, but for some reason, I'll be playing really heavy and loud D:<

*Edit: O: I just found out that Jay only used to original chorus, but WROTE EVERYTHING ELSE HIMSELF. Oh wow, I'm very impressed. I always knew he was a good rapper, but this is surprising even! What can't this boy do? He B-boys AMAZING WELL(think his singing and rapping X1000), sings, raps and writes.

I don't know if anyone remembers or even read the entry about Jay a few weeks old. I haven't said much on the issue since then, but so much has happened that I didn't want to comment on. I don't even want to think about that group anymore. Jay deserves to much better than they could ever give him.
When news that he had uploaded a video of himself singing on YT for the fans, I don't know how many people just wept like crazy. It's already been almost 7 months, and I don't know how to describe how sorely missed Jay has been. He's one of the few last decent boys out there. I know he's been portrayed as a rebel and all that by some unscrupulous producers(not naming names, but...you know) but I've never heard more nice things about this boy from REAL people out there. How he's always polite and responsible and walks the old ladies and girls in his neighbourhood home because he's worried about them, how he's always fillial and kind and respectful. And I believe it all, because out of that whole group, he was always the most sincere, most hardworking. While the fans had to overlook the airs and behaviour of some other members, making excuses for them, for Jay, there was never any need.
Jay Park, if you ever read this because you are bored in Seattle and are googling your name, I just want you to know that we will never stop waiting for you, because we know that you're going to make it huge, and it'll be soon. You're too big for Korea, you have too much talent to be placed in some group. You're going to succeed beyond your wildest dreams and take your mom shopping for nice things like you've always wanted to. I know this because good things happen to good people, and you're one of the best.
I don't know how to explain how it felt to see Jay singing and smiling after all these months. I know friends who have bawled and wept their eyes out at the video, and I can't deny that I'm one of them. Jay, you're a very special boy and I wish you all the best, please please don't forget we are here, waiting for you, because it doesn't matter if you're in a group or not, you'll always be our leadja.

And as a sidenote: Dayum, did you see when he lifted up his shirt?! I was wondering whether he had lost his famed chocolate abs after those 7 months, but I guess not huh. Taylor body? I'd say Jay Park's one beats that hands down.

Ps. In case you guys want a nice, clean summary on the whole situation http://www.dmwmedia.com/blog/%5Buser%5D/myspace-facebook-youtube-twitter-and-story-jay-park-aka-jaebeom-park Its a good, non-biased perspective mostly because its written by a reporter outside the kpop world.

LMAO

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, so this gif is pretty old(circa 2005 judging from the Hi Ya Ya outfit) But its been cracking me up for a long while now.

I don't know why Yoochun even thought it was a good idea, Cassies were notorious for being bat-shit insane fans for a reason bb.(Though now they've grown up and matured and are suing SM and all D'aawwwww ♥) But really, if *I* was in the Guiness book of world records for having the world's biggest fanclub, no way in hell would I have pulled that stunt.

"OH HAIII GUUUUYYSSS!~ Oh, HELL NAW FUC-"
What you guys have just witnessed is a narrow escape from death/world's biggest gang rape.
Not a good idea Chunnie, not a good idea.

In other news, I'm trying my hardest not to think about you-know-what tomorrow, so far so good. No panic attacks, no tears. (Apart from my melodramatic[I realised this only on hindsight] text to my teacher saying "Hey Ms Choo, you don't have to be too sad about my results tomorrow okay? I'll think of something else to do" and she replied with a "WALAO CAN YOU NOT ME BE SO PESSIMISTIC. Tomorrow then say. " I love her sooo much ♥)
Been eating lots of pocky and ramyeon, watching Casablanca, Breakfast At Tiffany's and Sound of Music repeatedly for the past week. Its helping. TIME FOR SOME YUNJAE THERAPY.
Think of me kindly tmr at 2.30pm ): Love you all.

2010-02-25T17:50:00.000-08:00

This hurts so bad. I know this might seem ridiculous, but no its not "just a band". Jay is a real person and it just hurts so much more everytime I remember that the only reason he was trying so hard in the first place was because he wanted his mom to be able to go shopping and for him to be able support his family.
I don't know what supposed "bigger mistake" he did(that the company refuses to release any info on) that makes his return impossible, but either they have the shittiest PR team in the world or they are just doing a really bad job of covering their own asses up.

I know that supporting the other 6 is the supposedly correct way to go about this, but how do they expect the hottests to do this when it means supporting JYPE and endorsing their mistreatment of Jaebom?

I've read the statement from the Khottests and it makes more sense to me than JYPE's bullshit letter does. I don't know if we're being played or not, but all I know now is that I could never love 2pm as much as I used to, no matter how hard I may try.

Jay, you will never be forgotten. Please come back soon.(YG needs to sign this boy, he's too hardcore for JYPE anyways, and I'm sure they would do a better job of protecting their artists)

Meanwhile, the shit has hit the fan, and barely a day into this and the official fancount has dropped 14% and honestly, I can't say I'm upset about that(though I do feel bad for the other 6 ): )

Happy birthday Leader-ssi!

2010-02-05T22:18:00.000-08:00

This is the closest to perfection Man has ever gotten.
May you always be healthy, happy and surrounded by the one's you love, doing what you love. I don't know how you find it in you to be so selfless, kind and strong, you deserve all the happiness in the world. Thank you for shouldering all the burdens and looking after each member better than you treat yourself, thank you over and over. These are trying times, but I have faith in your strength and in your love and that DBSK will always be DBSK.
(Also, this may sound a little crazy, but honestly, please don't break Jaejoong's heart)

Happy Birthday Princess ♥

2010-01-25T07:49:00.000-08:00

Oh Jae, oh Jae...what about you is there not to wax lyrical about? We know you don't like it when people call you beautiful, because according to you, men should be handsome. But thats what you are, beautiful inside and out.

2010-01-18T21:41:00.000-08:00

So life couldn't be peachier, I really could get used to this bumming thing. But I'm down to my last 15 dollars and I'm not even talking about excluding emergency money anymore D:This is getting rather tragic. I should stop rejecting job/tuition offers but I don't want those ): I know this is going to sound typically frivolous of me but I really want to wear and apron to work but not have to waitress. And nothing is going to come between me and my plan, kinda.

2010 has been good to me so far, no unnecessary drama(no more people from you know where!~), no early mornings and more good hair days than bad. I've been planning to get more reading done but in between mandatory DBSK online stalking time and going out, I've yet to even make it past Chapter 5 of the novel I'm hanging onto.

Okay I tried, I tried making this post about me, but really, all I want to do is post pictures of Yunho's manboobs and laugh at them D: I can't help it, I've been wanting to do this all day.

Normally manboobs gross me out and are generally thought of unpleasantly and with much secondhand embarrassment, but those lumps of fat on Yunho's chest are quite different. I swear if someone were to set up a fancafe dedicated to Yunho's boobage it would get quite a decent number of fans. I remember talking to some girl on LJ about them and she exclaimed "I LOVE THE FUCKING FAT OUT OF YUNHO'S BOOBS" and believe me when I say she doesn't stand alone.
I don't know whether its because he's so endearingly self-conscious about his manboobs or because the rest of his body could rival that of a greek god, but Yunho's manboobs amuse me to no end.(I SWEAR I'M NOT CRAZY, it might seem a little out of it but I assure you that the rest of the fandom is equally fascinated by this)

Oh Yunho, you are so prection, don't ever change.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO DBSK

2009-12-25T09:04:00.000-08:00

Who knew that the group that made their debut on boxing day all those years ago with their awkward hair and synchronized swaying would go on to becomeone of the biggest and most successful musical acts in all of Asia?

Them in all their teenaged glory, baby fat and relative inexperience. Its funny to think that the oldest members(being Jaejoong and Yunho) were only as old as we are now.

Sometimes it makes me cringe but usually I just look back on their early days with much fondness. Having to project their true personalities through the heavily manufactured image SM tried to make them conform to was no easy task, but our boys succeeded and one fangirl at a time until they ~~seduced~~ won over most of Asia.

I feel an unbelievable sense of pride whenever I think about everything our boys have achieved, from making it into the Guiness Book or World Records TWICE(biggest official fanclub and most photographed celebs), breaking record after record on the Oricon charts, TOKYO DOME and countless awards in Korea. It hurts that some disregard their musical ability merely because they are a "boyband" and are supposedly "manufactured" but really, I don't understand how anyone can listen to them sing and deny that these boys are pure talent.

All 5 of them have grown so much since their intitial debut.
DBSK boys following their concepts. LOL. Changmin as the cute maknae, Junsu as LUXURY CHARISMA(I am not making this up), Jaejoong as Mysterious Charismas, Yoochun as the international dandy boy(I DON'T KNOW WHO THOUGHT THIS STUFF UP BUT IT SURE SEEMS LIKE A FUN JOB) and Yunho as the manly leader. *cough*

Hug Days. Ah fond memories. When Yunho still had his snaggleteeth, Changmin hadn't let his snark out of the bag and was trying to convince everyone he was harmless and adorable and Jaejoong kept his personality a secret.

Mirotic, by far my favourite. I would dig out more embarrassing pictures, from the Tri-angle, The Way You Are etc. but I'm far too sleepy as it is, I'm like making a gajillion typos per second so maybe later hehe.

Some individual Before and After shots, because everyone loves those:

JUNSU!♥

As a kid:

Pre-debut with Eunhyuk:
HUG DAYS HAHAHA

TO THIS ^_^ :
Chunnie!♥
From a cute child(on the right):
To creepy korean-american boy:

To everyone's favourite sentimental, greasy yet...extremely fashionable man! Oh Yoochun, you are so complex. Yoochun is an AMAZING composer by the way, I ADORE YOUR TALENT MR PARK and your many instances of FAIL! CHUNNNNNN.

Jaejae^_^ ♥ :
From a really pretty baby boy:
Aren't teens supposed to break out during puberty? WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE PERFECT SKIN.
To most beautiful human being on the face of the earth:

Changmin♥ :

Just a toddler and already looking at you with that "I'm a fucking genius and you better believe it" expression:

Awkward "IM THE MAKNAE~" phase which I like to pretend doesn't exist:

HOTNESS:

Leader-ssi! Yunho♥ :
Aww I don't know why, but I really miss Yunho today. I need to post a I LOVE JUNG YUNHO POST to make up for it soon. This is one of my favourite examples of why PUBERTY ROCKS!
FANTASTIC JOB GROWING UP YUNHO HEHE

BEHOLD THE MIRACLE OF GROWTH!

All 5 of them have been through so much difficulty, from pre-debut suffering to post-debut complications from SM's ridiculous demands and schedules to the Rotation issue to one horrible accident(poisoning, injuries etc) after another and now the lawsuit... but I'm sure it'll all work out, because good things happen to good people and 5 of them surely are.
I strongly believe that nothing can break the bond between the 5 of them even if SM is trying their hardest to make it seem like trouble is abound. The fans will always believe in DBSK and its so bloody obvious what SM is trying to do. Its quite clear that the 2 other members do not endorse SM's actions, what with Changmin's obvious silent protest, refusing to SAY ANYTHING ON AIR(OH BOY I LOVE YOU)
So yes, thats my stand on the issue, since I get asked about it quite often.
So enough about unhappy matters and let's celebrate the wonder that is Dong Bang Shin Ki ♥

The boys performing snippets of their songs from different "phases", SEE, EVERYTHING LOOKS BETTER IN MIROTIC OUTIFTS.

Happy Birthday to Xiah Junsu!

2009-12-15T07:09:00.000-08:00

Oh Junsu, how much do I love you? You've given us fan girls so much of yourself that there is nothing we could do to repay you for all the years of laughter and smiles.
Junsu-yah, you make me believe that innocence and purity can exist in this world, wishing you happiness always.

Kim Junsu is arguably the most popular DBSK member in Korea(vying with Micky for this title I guess, with Yunho being the most popular amongst girls EVERYWHERE and Jaejoong and Changmin being favoured like hell in Japan. But this is rather misleading, they are all equally popular if you know what I mean, as in the fans may have bias towards one member, mine being Jaejoong for example, but we love them equally so we support them in polls and their activities as we would our "so-called favourite" which isnt a favourite! BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL NUMBER ONE! Aish, so complex, but I hope you get what I mean)
and for good reason! He's been cited to have the best voice in Korea, and certainly this is true. Junsu freaking sounds like an ANGEL when he sings and dances like ~~an expensive and extremely talented stripper hoping to get a big enough tip to buy an island~~ like a really good dancer.

He's also often called DBSK's Mood-maker because he's the one incharge of jokes and raising the atmosphere, aka he earnestly tells awkard oyaji gags and silly puns which makes everyone roll around in stitches, not so much because the joke is funny but because its Junsu who is telling it(and junsu makes everything sounds funny)

Oh Junsu-yah, I love you so much that I quote you everyday,(just that no one knows because they don't know what the hell I'm quoting) you are the reason I yell "OHMYGOD SUN!" (in a heavy korean accent) whenever I feel the heat of the sun on my face or "TIRED, HUNGRY, HEADACHE" whenever I'm feeling one of those things. It's because of you that I feel the compulsion to spell APPLE everytime I see one or to squeal like a dolphin when I am excited. Junsu, you are the butt of so many jokes, from your terrible english, to your womanly butt(AND FANTASTIC LEGS WHICH SO MANY ARE JEALOUS OF) to your horrible fashion sense(which I tell everyone about, like how you buy the entire outift of mannequins because you don't know how to dress yourself) you are so precious!

Don't need to watch Junsu dancing if you don't want too, but I promise this video is worth your while, its a compilation of some of Junsu's infamous engrish. AND YOOCHUN LAUGHING AT HIM LIKE HES GOD OF ENGLISH OR SOMETHING. Oh Chunnie, I know you lived in America for some years and Jaejoong is extremely impressed and gives you sparkly eyes whenever you speak...but seriously, THEORY OF PORNO?! you no longer have enough english credit to laugh at Susu mmkay. (Kidding Chunnie, we all love you and your precious Chunglish, JUST STOP GIVING JAEJOONG ENGLISH LESSONS AND LETTING HIM THINK THAT ADDING THE SUFFIX 'tic' TO EVERYTHING MAKES IT A PROPER ADJECTIVE! Hehe, kidding, Micky Saranghae)

Wishing Junsu a very happy birthday! May your Mozart Musical go well! Hope you have lots of hitsumabushi forever. DBSK fighting! Always keep the faith ♥
Saranghaeyo.

(On an interesting note, Junsu's love for hitsumabushi is so well known that if you google hitsumabushi, 2 pictures of Junsu appear. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!)

Thanks Edlyn, your comment about mini-posts of flail reminded me to post my mini post of flail

Rites of Passage

2009-12-13T06:31:00.000-08:00

I feel like I've crossed some sort of line and become a legit fan. While I feel a bit...surprised at my own actions because I have repeatedly promised myself I wouldn't give in to such fervour and become one of the rabid fans I laugh at, I feel that its all worth it after all I've experienced. Why Bernadette, how cryptic of you! Just read okay, I can't blather in this whole post so I thought I would spread it out.

Day Before:

So here I was, changing to rush to town and meet some friends when I received a text from an ex-schoolmate I haven't seen in a long long long while asking me if I wanted FREE TICKETS TO Seoul'd Out! I obviously said YES PLEASE OMG OMG OMG THANKYOU I LOVE YOU(wanted to go desperately but was/am broke) so hey, miracles do happen alright. The most confusing bit is that the tickets to the Sundown Festival weren't even his, it was a friend of his friends. Meaning I got free tickets to Seoul'd out through a friend of a friend of a friend. WHOEVER YOU ARE, THANK YOU.

I don't know if any of you are familiar with what Seoul'd Out/Sundown Festival is, its this all korean concert that happens every two years or so if I am not mistaken! Anyways, I didn't want to pay 85 dollars for it earlier because a)Saving for ipod b)I THOUGHT I would only wanna see Brown Eyed Girls(WHO I ADORE) but wrongly assumed the rest wouldn't be worth it(because as much as I like FT Island, I didn't love them THAT much, but its a different story now)

Day 1:
I asked Christine along because I thought she would appreciate and enjoy it the most(I was right MWAHA) and also because she went to the airport alone on Friday to catch a glimpse of Brown Eyed Girls but there was a last minute change of flight, so she had to endure getting shoved around by Primadonnas(what the fan group of FT Island are called btw) for nothing, so I felt morally obligated to right this wrong hehe.
We decided to head down to Fort Canning at 2.30pm to queue up even thought the gates would only open at 5.30 and the concert would start at 7, to get prime seats. We thought we were early but hell were we wrong. There were already a WHOLE LINE of people ahead of us, but better then than later. Finally got in the doors around 6. Sat down near the front and bought overpriced pepsi, spicy korean fishcake and KIMBAP! THE KIMBAP WAS AWESOME!
Annoyingly, the only entertainment we had for that one hour was the DJ one song OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, in between the repeats were sponsor ads and Sparking Korea campaign ads. Sparking Korea ads feature a few seconds of Suju and DBSK and I tell you, EVERYTIME THOSE PARTS WERE FLASHED, the whole area would be filled with SCREAMS(I was guilty too LOL) even after the fifth time HAHA.

It was pretty funny because even though the crowd of 7000 knew that DBSK and Suju were going to appear again and again, there would be genuine screams of delight and excitement. What I thought was funniest was that when the ad for Lee Minho's concert repeated for the 5th time, the whole place was filled with sounds of disgust and EURGH STOP PLAYING THAT, but a few seconds later when Suju and DBSK's ads replayed the whole place was just filled with such happiness hehe.

So the entire concert was a blast, I even enjoyed the groups that I previously didn't care about.

First up was the Miso Musical which showcased traditional korean acts.

Jinjo Crew, fantastic B-Boys!

Then Park Shin Ae and Mario, Park Shin Ae has a really strong voice and Mario was awesome as well!

Lee Ji Su, better known as the balladeer that sang that song from My Girl. He is a COMPLETE sweetheart. He couldn't speak english very well and was trying to aplogise for it and it was the cutest thing!
Lee Ji Su: Ummm Hi, I can't uhhh, speak english well so ummmm hahahahaha *apologetic look*
Everyone in audience: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!*shouts of "ITS OKAY OPPA!"

Next was T-Max, also known as the group which Kim Jun from Kkotboda Namja(Boys Over Flowers) is from. They weren't bad at all, the leader was extremely entertaining and the maknae looked like a japanese version of Heechul!

THEN THEN THEN, it was FINALLY FT ISLAND. For those who don't know who FT Island are,(which makes about...all of you haha) they are a K-poprock group, but really there are more of a boyband than anything, but whatever because their music is pretty good and they are all really handsome and funny.

AHHHH. FT ISLAND!!!! I kept trying to snap pictures of Jong Hun because he is extremely extremely handsome but Hong Ki(lead singer) kept jumping in the way! AURGH, as much as I love Hong Ki and think he is entertaining to no end, I wanted to tell him to move away or something >:( But at last, SUCCESS!

JONGHUN!!!! Do you have any idea how goodlooking he is? No, you probably don't and the picture I took is way to small, so I shall show you.

He is the blonde curly-haired boy sitting second from the front in the first line. SO HANDSOME RIGHT? Here, more of Jonghun. ♥

And then it was the most anticipated act of the night(for me at least) Brown Eyed Girls! AURGH, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, you have no idea! They are much more talented than the other girl groups around*cough*SNSD*cough* and have so much more character, they may not be my number 1 favourite girl group but they are comfortably in the top 3!

A fancam of their performance of Abracadabra taken by me, I've always wanted to be one of those fancam people and here I am MWAHA.

Ga-In was nearest to me, which was fantastic because I absolutely adore her!(The one in the long blazer that is furthest right in that last pic, well in that she's the furthest from me, but that was only for a few seconds) And I guess that kind of makes up for Jonghun being all the way at the other end huh.

The Brown Eyed Girls WERE AMAZING, Miryo speaks english VERY VERY well and they hinted that they would be back sometime next year for a concert of their own! Will be anticipating that! They performed some of their older stuff like Eojjeoda and L.O.V.E which I was very happy for, along with Abracadabra and Sign as well as an a cover of You Raise Me Up. Good stuff!

Then, as the concert was ending, Christine and I had the smart plan of rushing towards the end of the crowd(to watch the final bow) so we would be in an advantageous position to run to the backgates to watch them leave. Pure genius.
We practically sprinted(okay fine, more like LIMPED, but honestly, we had been on our feet for hours and my knees just wouldn't straighten after that, but it all paid off because we were RIGHT IN FRONT of the driveway!
So the acts left one by one, waved to the Miso people and Jinjo crew who stolled past us. And then all hell broke loose when the bigger acts started emerging. JONGHUN WAS IN THE SEAT NEAREST TO ME! And he looked at us! He tried to show us something on his phone, but I couldn't see it ;_; but whatever, he was SO NEAR ME, less than one metre away!(albeit a car door was in between us) but WHATEVER.
He is as handsome in real life, it was so surreal!
It was extremely chaotic and the security kept getting mad at the silly girls who wouldn't get off the roads, but I guess I can't blame them.

Got home and finally ate my FIRST MEAL of the day just before midnight. Aurgh, for someone who has never even skipped a meal before... (well I had three pieces of Kimbap and a can of pepsi so I guess that counts as sort of not really a meal?)

Day 2:

Christine asked whether I wanted to stake out the Marina area(where the K-groups) were staying with her, in hopes of seeing one of them, so I crawled out of bed around 10, dead tired and looking like hell.
Was going to eat breakfast when Andrea called me SCREAMING about how she was working at Orchard Central and that there were signs saying that there was gonna be a Brown Eyed Girls fansign at 1pm. Ditched breakfast, grabbed my phone and camera and ran off.
The queues were already too long to join and there was literally no where I could stand to see them, so Andrea and I tried to grab a spot on the floor above, BOYS PUSHING US EVERYWHERE >:( Damn, the one thing I hate about girlgroups is that the fans are mostly hormonal boys who are alot harder to manouver around ~~because they smell~~

FINALLY! It was awesome! We stared at them signing posters for about 20 minutes and then they left. There was a mad scramble to find a spot to see them, people trying to get in lifts and stuff, I got to see Ga-In's forehead closeup! The rest of her was blocked haha.

Andrea had to go back to work, but Christine and I headed down to Marina to ~~get some stalking action~~try to catch a glimpse of them. Decided to head to their hotel instead of wandering around because we weren't having much luck. It was a few hellish hours, I felt like a beggar sitting with the primadonnas(what FT island fans are called) and it was just awkward because there were all so young! No other BEG fans around at all ):

After 2 hours or so of waiting! Narsha, JeA and Miryo returned to the hotel in a sedan!

Narsha in boots! These girls don't look 28 AT ALL(3 of them are 28, with Ga In at 21 being the youngest)JeA's back in the hotel, wearing red hightops!

I didn't manage to snap Miryo, but she looked awesome!

At this point I abandoned the camera because when you try to take pictures you aren't able to focus on looking at them properly and I can always get pics of them online, but I'll only be near them this once!

Lee Ji Su came back just before this too, he was so SWEET. He waved to us and some lucky girls ran to shake his hand and they reported how soft it was HAHA.

Waited for MANY MANY more hours and night finally fell and the acts started heading for the airport. It was complete madness everytime one of them would emerge, girls swarming the vans etc...(I didn't by the way, I still maintained a certain level of dignity)

MARIO WAVED AND SMILED AT ME! The other girls ran to the other door to try and intercept him but I was too lazy and was left alone, so I waved to Mario instead of running to him and HE SMILED, TILTED HIS HEAD AND WAVED BACK!!!!

Then FT Island came out and we all lost it, it was utter chaos, people started running INTO the hotel itself(I must admit, I entered as well) AND HONG KI STOPPED BEING A DIVA FOR ONCE AND ACTUALLY WAVED AT US HAPPILY! I was standing beside the glass door with NO ONE inbetween and it just so happened that JONGHUN WALKED RIGHT PAST ME, IT WAS SO CLOSE. SO CLOSE!!!!!

Then ANOTHER HOUR LATER(So sick of waiting by this point, but I knew I had to!) BEG finally emerged! OH MY GOODNESS, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! Most of the fans had gone of because they were ALL primadonnas and didn't care about BEG so there were about 15 of us left? I got so close to BEG that I could literally smell their perfume(smelt like marshmellows), I believe I said "GAIN SARANGHAE!~" and told them that they were pretty in korean. It was so sweeet! Gain smiled at us! I think JeA waved, but I no longer remember because by this point we were just screaming about how they smelt like marshmellows.

Went home and had my first meal of the day ): Being dinner.

Going to head to IMM on the 19th to queue for a chance to buy tickets to FT Island's fanmeet. Wish us luck!

An Introduction to Perfection

2009-12-09T22:57:00.000-08:00

I have yet to come across another human being even half as exquisite as Kim Jaejoong. Boy has the face and voice of an angel and the most hilarious, endearing personality. I don't know what more I can possibly say about Jaejoongie that I haven't already gushed ad nauseum about on my other blog, but people tend to scroll past when they realise its gonna be another k-pop entry(not that I blame you haha) so I suppose theres alot to say then! Anyways, I am writing this because I told Neeta I would have to show her how amazing Jaejoong is and she promised to read this, but even if you aren't Neeta, read this if you have even the slightest affection for me @_@ cause I ♥ Jaejoongie THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MUCH.

This is the face of perfection. The face that has turned countless men gay(Case in point: Getting asked out by otherwise straight male celebrities, eye-witness accounts of him being propositioned by rich japanese men, and the number of times fans have overheard random men on planes who have no clue who DBSK are, talking about Jaejoong in ways he should never have the trauma of hearing) and pushed the thoughts of more than a million fangirls into levels of inpropriety.

And the boy has some credentials when it comes to being goodlooking. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen him in those 'Top 10 Best Faces' blah blah, but one that amused me to no end was that he was placed #2 most attractive male singer in frigging JAPAN, when he's completely korean(but the Japanese really do love our Jaejae's face, they keep giving him title after title, Most prince-like, most desirable lover etc... but whaddya expect, Jaejoong is like the ultimate bishounen) And he isn't nicknamed Visual Shock in Korea for nothing, funny thing is, he got so fed up with being called beautiful and pretty, he decided to beef up a hell lot(pics down) but still kept getting all those things, driving him to further "man up" until his company BANNED him from working out because muscles didn't suit his pretty face. Poor baby, destined to look beautiful forever huh.
Anyways, Bae Yong Joon has been winning this award called "Best Face in Asia and S.Korea" for the past 8 years(In my opinion more out of popularity than actually looking good because seriously, have you seen the guy?) but this year he declined saying that he doesn't deserve it(damn straight!) because he thought the best looking person in the whole of asia was KIM JAEJOONG, he then proceed to gush in front of the whole of S.Korea and millions of fans of hallyu and K-culture all around the world and I SWEAR I am quoting(translated of course) that "whatever hairstyle he cuts or whatever angle he turns to, everyone thinks that Kim Jaejoong looks handsome, cute, pretty, chic and always looks good" Yes. He really did use ALL those adjectives in that one sentence. He went on to gush even more creepily about how Jaejoong had "white and beautiful skin that some women are jealous of" citing his co-stars in his numerous movies and how they all said they were jealous of Jaejoong's face.
While I was a little freaked out about the blatant gushing,(though I should be used to it by now after listening to so many celebs gush about Jaejoong's face, such as Se7en talk about how he HANGS JAEJOONG'S PICTURE UP IN HIS OFFICE BECAUSE IT CHEERS HIM UP) I obviously agree with BYJ. (If you don't know who se7en is, he's this mega superstar in Korea)

I will never get over how much I adore his face, he has the most gorgeous doe-shaped eyes and he has the best lips, lots of people always talk about how perfect his nose is(actually they talk about how perfect EVERYTHING is as well) and I have to agree. Aurgh, and his skin! I've seen zoomed in shots of him with no makeup and his face is completely flawless, plus he has the CUTEST MOLES ON HIS FACE ~~that I want to play connect the dots with~~. He looks so pretty yet his face is decidedly male, which means he looks both beautiful and handsome.

Jaejoong looking pretty:

<---Could he get any prettier? What kills me most is that he isn't even trying or aware that people are watching, he's just standing around, waiting and freaking emanting prettiness sparkles or something. Jaejoong looking handsome i.e. masculine: Jaejoong looking ridiculously goodlooking i.e. how he looks all the time/ like a cutie pie, creampuff/sparkly/like he just walked off the pages of a japanese manga/random picspam:

<-- CUUUUUUUUUUTE, Jaejae, why are you such a cutie pie!

And because I know most of the people that read this blog have a preference for their men inked:

First shot officially released. Reads TVXQ SOUL(aka. DBSK SOUL, see how much he loves his members?) , Hope to the end, "The pleasures of the mighty are the tears of the poor" and "A song will outlive all sermons in the memory." forming the two treble clefs.
Added angel wings and you can see that he was planning to get something done on the small of his back(which he presumably hasn't gotten yet)
And this has got to be the sweetest tattoo. He and Yoochun got this both inked above their hearts as a message to the fans during the first lawsuit. They couldn't speak to the fans so he proved his love for the DBSK and his fans the only way he could. He has another new one above 'Always keep the faith' but no one has a clear enough shot to know what it says.

He has got to be one of the most entertaining celebrities alive. He has such an endearing dorkiness which just spills over and makes you go LAWL JAE WHY U SUCHA DORKKKKKKKK
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
because he is.
When DBSK first made their debut, Jaejoong's concept(this term is used loosely in Korea, but it mostly implies "theme") was Mysterious Charisma, and Jaejoong revelaed years later SM Ent(The company that manages them aka The Devil Incarnate) gave him strict orders to shut the hell up in public and on shows because anything he would have said, would have ruined that image entirely. But after realizing how entirely entertaining he is, they let go of the reigns.

DORK HAHA, I love how he tries to show how he "cries in his heart" and ♥ the yunjae, Jaejoong crying because Yunho said his jiggae didn't taste good is totally expected, Jae just loves being the perfect wife huh. By the way, if the subs refer to him as Hero, its because his stage name is Youngwoong which means hero.

And I love how he just doesn't have the ability to hide his emotions, he's a completely open book. Sweetheart ♥

This video ALWAYS cracks me up because you can tell just how affected he gets and the poor boy has tears in his eyes. PLEASE DO WATCH. He's the boy in the middle(first row) when you see 5 guys sitting together in case for some reason you can't recognize him.

There are so many things I love about Jaejoong:
1)See above
2)His moles, SOOOOOO CUTE

3)His awkward dancing and clumsiness

Watch till the end, the last fall scene is worth it, I promise.
4)His strength and character. Boy ran away from home with no money, no place to stay, worked three jobs to survive while training, had to resort to walking 3 hours to work daily due to a severe lack of funds, sold his blood numerous times, ate leftovers off customer's plates at a restaurant he worked at and in spite of all this, was generous to share the place he had to rent, with Yunho and didn't ask for any money in return.(YUNJAE ) He's been through so much(SM's supposed physical abuse and mental torture, the adoption fiasco etc..) and he's still so kind and optimistic, its almost unreal how loving and sincere he is.
5)He would make a perfect wife; pretty, loving, motherly, a fantastic cook and he already does the dishes.
6)His hourglass figure. Making girls jealous since 2004. He has a 24 inch waist and he has admitted to wearing ladies' pants as they fit better. Observe:

but don't mistakenly think he has a girly body because uh...

7)His VOICE~~ Theres a reason he's ranked #2 Best Voice in all of Korea(Number 1 being his fellow DBSK member JUNSU BABYYY) and lead singer of the most awesome group ever.

He's the one in the middle that sings first.

Acapella performance, I think DBSK sounds best when they sing acapella, after all they are an acapella dance group(as weird as that combo sounds)

Once again, he's the one in the middle.
8)His loving, kind nature. Kim Jaejoong has almost singlehandedly restored my faith in humanity(the other person being Jung Yunho, who is too fucking good to be real, but he is. Which is why he gets to be with such a perfect person like Jaejoong)
9)His boyfriend. Yunho=HOT, enough said
True love ♥
(and no, its NOT fanservice, because most of their 'moments' are caught by fans when they think no one is looking)

♥

*EDIT:
AHAH! Success! Guess who texted me saying "Damn he is kinda perfect." "He looks like he's made out of white marble" HAHAHA, oh Jaejoongah, how many more hearts must you claim?

ATTN: NEETA & DORA

How can you say that everyone in DBSK looks the same? How can you not see Changmin's handsomeness? As far as I can see, the boy is ridiculously goodlooking(and smart and funny ♥) Observe:

I have died from the sexy that is Shim Changmin.

I guess you could say I was sick of the deception. Its not that it bothers me but it does get a little tiresome not knowing what people really think of you even as they pretend to adore you. So hello fresh start and hello to the people who are reading this, if you're here it probably means that on some level I do &heart; you, so no worries.

So these three years have been some hell of a ride, its like I got thrown out and face-planted straight into reality and I don't know if I'll be able to look back in fondness. The experience was distasteful and perhaps it turned me for the worst, I don't know. All those years ago when I first got there I swore over and over to so many different people that I wouldn't let it change me, I would remember who I really was but its harder than it sounds when the people you associate with everyday are the complete opposite of everything you believe in.

So whats the story? I sucked it up and tried my best to just get along despite a general sentiment of Unhappiness and I thought it went alright, I really did. Of course along the way you find out the people you are hanging out with are not exactly the type of people you thought them out to be but thats alright, just move along. And so I did, over and over, clinging onto some silly optimism that each time would be better. Don't get me wrong, there are people there that I do like, but I would just like to distance myself from everyone else for awhile.

I desperately wanted to cut my bangs awkwardly short(think in the middle of forehead) a la Amelie Poulain, but then I remembered that I'm supposed to be looking for a job and I don't think it would do me any favours so I settled for something a little longer.
