MWV : Wheesung (휘성) ft. Ailee (에일리) - They Are Coming



Speechless. This is just so breathtaking awesome.

I knew that Ailee was somewhat great but I didn't really follow the hype of it because well, I normally don't follow solo. I first got to know her through Dream High 2 and unfortunately it's not a really good drama. Her single Heaven is great but not my style...Then I watched her in Immortal Song 2 and MIND BLOWN.

Her stage present is no rookie, it's like watching a seasonal veteran on stage and I don't think I'm exaggerating. Again, today I was looking for something to blog about..and this song appeared on the related video list.

Wow. As sound the music played, I was like AILEE? RAP? woah. She sound so smooth and natural. I normally hate unnecessary random sound but her "Love" was so engaging. Wheesung is awesome as usual..he was actually one of those vocalist I didn't like before because I'm not a big fan of deep voice but as I listen to his song more, I just grew to like it.

I wished I had listen to this earlier on but better later than never. The video is mehh as in the plots but watch it anyway, it looks amazing!

Kpop secrets

If you're looking for secrets...it's not here, I'm just writing about my view on it. Please read HERE for secrets.

Who doesn't like to read secrets? I stumbled on Allkpop forum on the link posted above and it got me jaw-dropped. Some quite believe able but I choose to believe maybe 50%? The trouble is I can't get the image out. LOL

I realize that Kpop idols are not exactly the person portrayed on TV. It give me the sense of reality, but still some of the secrets posted are nasty. I hope it's not really true but hey, what do I get anyway. If there's any Kpop secrets I would want to know is whether they smoke or not.

I know it's their own right whether to smoke or not but I had always dislike smokers. I am not going to be blinded and say I don't care whether they smoke or not. In the first place, I don't get why people start smoking.

And I know what i-netizen would say..but isn't caring for their health is part of a fan's job? Yes being a smoker doesn't define oneself but the fact you started smoking when you already well aware it's damaging is kind of the point of this argument.

Is there any secret I don't want to know? Yeaahh like relationship rumors. Kpop these days filled with relationship announcement..thank Ji Hyun Woo shi~. As a fan, I'm suppose to respect idols' private life but heck I don't care. I'm like Korean netizen on this issue. Like when Se7en announce his relationship, his fanclub members got out..lol Of course, if it's like 1st generation idols..I do wish them to get married. It's all about the timing.

Secrets are meant to be secrets so choose to believe less than 100%. Gossips are very popular in Korean culture. That's how Kdrama rolled. One gossip can make believe to be true.

I'm loving Ali's I tried everything



 I was searching for good Kpop..I usually just listen to my bias because there's way too many Kpop singers these days..I choose to listen to my bias only. EXO was great but I got bored..I need something new. I stumble on Ali's video on Youtube..I thought "Why not?" she's great in Immortal Song 2". BOYYY I fall in love.

The first song I listen to was "Don't Act Countrified" feat JunHyung. It was good but then I listen to this song, I just love it. The moment I heard her voice, I just got teary eye. I don't know why..is it the familiar piano or her voice, the whole intro was so sad. Her voice has a character, it's like she brings her voice to life. Her voice control? Amazing. She has both clear and husky voice. It's a voice you won't get tired of listening. 


The song is sad. The intro shows her weakness with almost whispering tone. As the song progress, she sounded like she was crying for help. I can tell she's feeling apologetic in the middle part. Gaahh..I can't say anything more, the more I listen to this song I just feel so sad.

If you're feeling happy, stay away from this song. If you're already sad, maybe this song will make you cry even harder..oh gosh..I feel so blue.

I'm loving Teen Top's To You




I only have listen once...wakaka. I just want to write a review. It sounds okay, so hence the title. Teen Top is one of 2010 debut I liked. I'm pretty impress with Andy's group, he did a good job so far. The group is getting better with each member having their lines except Ricky...maybe next single? I wonder why they don't utilize their voice well..it doesn't sound bad.

I don't know what's up with Kpop lately with all the "wooo wooo" . Personally I'm not a big fan of it, which is why I don't enjoy 4Minute Volume Up and Sistar Alone. This time Teen Top and Brave Sound team up again, it definitely sound like Brave Sound.

My favorite part is Niel's "It's like Maeil Maeil Everyday ya~!?" However I don't get the whole "To you To you now.." it sounded more like "Do You Do You"..

I'm not sure if I would listen to this song over and over but it's not a bad song. Possibly by tomorrow I would be repeating Niel's part.


KDrama pet peeves

I am not one of those Kdrama addict, but I do watch Kdrama a lot to improve my Korean. What better way to learn Korean if not through drama? This post is based on my observation.

1. Frame-only glasses


Maybe it's really just me, but I don't fancy glasses. I do need them sometimes but most of the time I live without it. I don't care if the characters are fashionable or simply bubbly characters but an older men or women wearing it? Do Korean Ajusshi wear them meh? I cannot take the characters seriously. In Miss Ajumma (as pictured above)..seriously? There's so many close up of her wearing the glasses and she clearly do not need them..after her transformation, it's not like she's wearing contact lens or get corrective surgery..

2. Pretty Hair all the time.

Is it in Korean genes that no matter what you do to your hair, it will always look good. I mean, using the picture above again..if she never had the time to visit hair saloons why is her curls so defined? And don't bluff me say it's natural..My brother has natural curls too, I know how natural curls look like. No matter how poor they are, they have the money to touch up their roots, curl or straighten or trim their hair..Maybe they did themselves but it looked perfect all the time. I haven't got any sort of treatment since last year and my hair is damn frizzy. Don't get me started on up do's.. like HOW??? Koreans, you're so talented in hair styling?

3. New cloths

I don't care for the rich..the poor characters also have new cloths all the time. At home or for work all the cloths are pretty. My at home cloths are faded and ugly. Same goes with their handphones. So rich can afford the latest model??!!

4. The infamous love triangle.

Love triangle is sooo lame, now we have Love squares, pentagon..maybe all of the polygon. If this happen in real life, wtf..this world HAS BILLIONS of people. Worst, it's actually very predictable. I can figured it out based on posters alone and sometimes by cast. No need to read synopsis, I will know which character will love who.

5. Speaking their minds out.

If I'm thinking, I never speak out loud. Why would I? If someone hears me how? And speaking of eavesdropping, their ears are DaeBak! So far can hear everything or maybe they talk too loud? There's no such thing as secret in Kdrama.

6. Everyone is connected

Kdrama makes the world so small. It's possible to fall in love with your brother's Boss's cousin and then you are related to your love interest. I don't know why Kdrama writers love complicated relationship.


Koreamie~!
