Which company for Kpop Star?

In my humble opinion.

Top: Baek Ji Woong, Baek Ah Yeon, Lee Ha Yi, Lee Jung Mi, Kim Na Yoon

Bottom: Park Jae Hyung, Yoon Hyun Sang, Park Ji Min, Lee Michelle, Lee Seung Hoon

Congratulation to Kpop Star winner, Park Ji Min~! As the winner, she could pick whichever Big 3 company she wants. Currently she hasn't make the choice, so I'm on the edge of the seat. I think it's either JYP or SM. While YG is an awesome company, based on the company style..YG isn't her style. She initially auditioned for SM, but I feel that she probably works better in JYP. I love the dedication of Park Jin Young of her talent..but in the end, it obviously her pick.

The second place, but nevertheless cool Lee Ha Yi, in case you don't know..her name is pronounce "Hi" as in the greeting! Such a cool name! She audition for JYP, but I'm pretty sure YG wants her badly. I don't know if she's SM style but it'd be cool to see her in a group.

As for Baek Ah Yeon, she's very versatile..so I don't mind which company she joins. I really think the Big 3 should try to recruit her. She can do anything and it fits right. I'm not sure which company she audition..She's the biggest surprise for me as I didn't really paid attention of her in the beginning.

No doubt, Lee Seung Hoon will join YG. YG would be stupid not to recruit him. He even lives next to YG building, talking about serious dedication yo! I'd be mad if he only works in the background because I want to see him more on TV!

Despite all the hype, Lee Michelle was never one of my favorites. There's nothing about her that makes me excited over. It's not that she's not pretty or not talented, it just she's overrated. She auditioned for YG but she seems good in JYP too. I'm not sure if SM likes her..but she's definitely a soloist. Perhaps it's a high time for SM to debut a soloist?

For the other Top 10, I don't have any opinion.. they could possibly join a total different company. Park Jae Hyung might be good in FnC (FT Island and CN Blue) or Loen (IU) but maybe not YG? Anyway I hope for more quality idols in the future so that I can proudly acclaimed I'm a big fan of Kpop.

UPDATE
 SM does not recruit anyone YEAH.. JYP has Park Ji Min, Park Jae Hyung and Baek Ah Yeon. YG recruits Lee Ha Yi, Lee Seung Hoon, Lee Michelle, Lee Seung Ju and Lee Jeong Mi.

Polaris recruits Kim Woo Sung and T.O.P. Media recruit Park Jung Eun

Kdrama talk

Currentky I'm watching Rooftop Prince, Fashion Prince and My Husband got a family.

The list of drama to watch is long..I don't have WiFi connection so it's not exactly ideal to watch videos. I don't have enough money for Kdramas either because I am buying Kpop CDs. Kpop can make you broke.

Mostly my drama fix are from TV. I used to watch daily evening dramas but not anymore, I'm tired of it! Usually I want it to be over by half through..so I no longer keep up with it. However I broke the record by watching Ojakgo Brothers. I watched midway but it still good, there's so many flashback in Kdrama. I anticipated the follow up, My Husband got a family. It's pretty well done drama I have to say.. Usually I spot some quirks in Kdrama, but so far it's okay. Although like all the other long episode drama, I hate the every-body-is-related. I really like Kim Nam Joo portrayal of YunHui and I love Tomboy couple.

My ultimate bias Kpop person, Micky YooChun plays the lead role in Rooftop Prince. I do like this drama but it's so embarrassingly funny. This kind of humor is not my type. I am so curious about crown princess death so that basically keeps me going. The time travel concept is fun and I am intrigued by the love lines. I am more interested in Joseon era..so I hope they could go back soon.

Fashion King..is so and so for me. I love Yoo Ah In but I don't get the plot or Choi Anna's character. I really hate unnecessary character that only prolongs the drama for no reason. Like in Please Take Care Captain, the whole adoption captain story is totally unnecessary. For once, I don't care about the love line..rather I want to know more on how the underdogs succeed. Unless the writers loves a twist, I pretty much know who ends up with who. I hope the whole plot about love lines will be scrap because I don't care. I just want Gayoung to take back her parents company. Heck, it really doesn't have to be Gayoung becomes famous worldwide or worse marriage.

 It's good to see idols acting but let's give newbie actors a chance. All of these 3 drama I'm watching has an idol. In My Husband got a family, MinHyuk of CN Blue plays Cha Se Gwang, In Rooftop Prince, it's Park Yoo Chun playing the lead as Yi Gak and Fashion King we have SNSD's Yuri as Choi Anna. Love Rain has Yoona and Man from the Equator has Siwan. Idols are a lot these days..I want them on stage more. ZE:A hasn't come up with a great single lately..

EXO Planet part 2

And so I continued.. I didn't really want to separate the post but it's too long for my liking. I've watched almost all of EXO M interviews so I know them more than EXO K. I wish to watched them speaking more Korean and perform more but I'll settle with various interviews. My favorite interviews are Youku and Yinyuetai interviews because Youku host is such a cute fangirl and in Yinyuetai interview, EXO K was mention! So let me introduce the members of EXO M!

My favorite member of all..BAOZI! Okay his real stage name is Xiumin. He is of Korean nationality but I thought he was Chinese at first! He looked Chinese, but he's Kim Min Seok. I love the fact he's still talkative despite the language barrier. He's slightly older than me but I don't call him Oppa. He's March and I'm October. :D

Pretty boy Luhan is also the same age with me, April Baby! He celebrate his birthday after debut so that's awesome! As mention before, he looks like Sehun..if you don't look properly. He is Chinese, from Beijing but he feels very Korean. I've heard him speaking Korean and I thought it's pretty good.

Opps. A gif image..nevermind la. I thought he looked kinda mixed? Kris Chinese but had studied in Canada. He auditioned in SM Global and is fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean. With that he was chosen as the leader. He had trained for four years and is the rapper of the group. Oh and he is the same age with me, November baby!

No question. Lay definitely looked Chinese. He plays music instrument like Chanyeol but that's about it I know about him. He rarely talks in interviews. I wonder if he's shy or something but according to the other members he's pretty 4D. (meaning weird) Like Kris. he has trained for four years too.

I wonder for a while why was he chosen to be in EXO M..but then it makes sense since his voice suited well in Mandarin. Chen's is actually Kim Jong Dae. I think he's still awkward with Chinese so he speaks less but at least he sings well.

He is the most like me. We both have panda eyes. LOL. He introduced himself as Kungfu Panda! LOL more like Wushu Panda actually. He is trained in Wushu since young and is heavily promoted as martial arts idol. Despite his panda eyes, he is a softie. I have a soft spot for crybaby..lol

 BONUS Oh glorious hairs! Pre debut video.
 

Kris and Tao

EXO Planet part 1

I think I just fall in love with this group. I never really expect to love them this much. I mean, I am SM Town fan, but to watch EXO vids all day everyday is nuts. Especially so that I don't even watch every single SuJu vids. I still love SuJu though.

When the teasers comes out.. I think I only had watch one...by accident. I make it a point to NOT watch any SM teasers because it's very deceiving. I lost count how many times I have been disappointed. When "What is Love" was released, it was an instant love.

I just love the whole vibe of the song because I can tell Yoo Young Jin produced the song. It totally is SM vibe! It was my jam for several weeks. Though it still didn't make me learn their names. I prefer Korean version because of D.O.'s voice. Perfect!

When History comes out, I thought, Meh..sounds like any other group can sing this song. I was less interested but I thought the song sounded better in Chinese. Up to this point, it's a tie!

My internet connection was limited so I only watched MAMA two weeks later and I was blown away. I love them! I watched all their showcase and interviews. I thought MAMA is perfect in both version. Although it's really a hard song to sing, it's really an interesting concept. LOL I am embarrassed on their behalf every time they have to explain their powers. Don't worry boys, it will be over soon.

Let's break it down, EXO is divided to two sub units, EXO K for Korean promotion and EXO M for Chinese promotion. Both sub units consist of 6 members.

Since I am Kpop lover, I'll introduce Exo K first. All of them are younger than me.

This is Suho, the leader of EXO K. Suho means guardian..LOL his real name is Kim Joon Myeon. My first impression is that he looked like TaecYeon or Jay of TRAX..I have a hard time recognizing him.

His name is delicious (no offence!) BaekHyun aka Bacon. He is the lead vocalist meaning he had the second most lines. His voice is somewhat similar to D.O. but it's different after 100th time listening. LOL

If I were to give him a nickname, it would be chameleon. ChanYeol always looks different! I barely recognize him in TaeTiSeo's Twinkle MV. He looked so innocent in What is Love and then looking so badass in MAMA. He's the rapper but heh, he sure is pretty sometimes.

My favorite D.O.!! I have no idea what D.O. stands for yet..his real name is Do Kyung Soo which by the way Do isn't a common family name. He is the main vocalist, which I am happy..hehe more lines for him please! I think he has the strongest visual out of all EXO..yes, not Kai..he's recognizable because he had so many teaser and wears bright colored outfits.

The face of the group..for the first time, I don't agree on this. SM face of group are usually really really handsome and pretty. I am not saying Kai isn't handsome just really weak to be the face of the group..especially so because it's SM. He looked like his best friend, Taemin and dances really well too!

The Magnae! He is the youngest of all EXO. I had a hard time recognizing him too especially so he looked like his best buddy LuHan. I think the pointer is his nose. His nose is cute! haha To be continued.
