After the success of I'm a loner, the news of CN Blue comebacks is getting me excited on Kpop again! They're back with Love. Btw, I notice a lot of LOVE in titles like Rain's Love song...Seo in Kook with Love U. Love is all year round :P
Music
Compare to their previous single, this song is light hearted but still very CN Blue. They're good with language and the English part do work. JongHyun is awesome..I love his voice more in this song! The slight rockish part wasn't necessary but I guess they want the fans to remember what their talents are.
Level of Likeness:7/10
Performance
With "Blue" in their name, I was expecting them to wear Blue only..:P I don't like green you see, haha. The stage is a little too bright for my liking. I love bassist and JeongShin looks F.I.N.E.! Except his hair looks slightly gayish..ahaha I mean he would look better than me if he's a girl!
Level of Likeness: 7/10
Video
I love their new hairstyle! Chic and clean, nice look for a band! I love the set of the video..it has nice color. It's pretty bizzare to see magnae in a bar but this is for show...have to forget about him being underaged. I have to say though, I don't like watching band's video. I always end up mad because I can't see everyone in the same amount of time. It's the norm for the camera to be on the lead vocalist all the time but the other boys are good looking! It's a waste not to see their faces.

MPV Review :4Minute HUH
HUH is the acronym for Hit yoUr Heart. I'm not a big fan of 4Minute but they're good friends with Beast. HyunAh is definitely my main reason to watch this.
Music
I wasn't expecting to like this song because most of their songs before is something I only like after few listen however this song is good! I like it from the first listen. It felt like the song is properly distributed among the members and this is good.
Level of Likeness :8/10
Performance
I love the stage! It suits the feel of the song and while I usually hate uniform stage outfit, I think this look works. I have no idea what to say to JiHyun..she's really pretty but she got too little screen time that I barely notice her. Magnae switching place with Jiyoon, as the rapper? Hope that works for her then.
Level of Likeness : 7/10

Biased review...You know I love same company collaboration! Though my boys get less screen time, I'm just so happy to see a collaboration..Don't want to say more..I'm giving this 10/10 because of the boys appearance!

Idol Analysis : CDs
The trend of CDs now is releasing Mini-album as you know the sales of CD isn't encouraging and the cost of production doesn't come cheap.
I never like the concept so I won't be buying mini album and just wait for the full length album because as I notice, all the songs from the mini album also appear on the full length album.
Die hard fans might purchase everything but I can't do that..I'm not that crazy yet and I don't see I'm going to be like that!
It started with DBSK, I remembered Mirotic had several version and then repackage version. I only bought the repackage version because I didn't like the pictures of the other version plus it has more songs. As for SuJu's Sorry Sorry album, I bought version A and repackage because I love both pictures..yes, the main reason of me buying the album is the pictures.. I saw the Oh album by SNSD but as I hate the song..I didn't buy it and waited for the repackaged Run Devil Run.
Today, wanting to waste time at Speedy..the worker show me SuJu 4th Album in both version! She save it for me of course..I was initially shock by two version until I remember it's SuJu...The fans were given about a week difference on the release date but I was given both at the same time...how am I to save? While I do have the money for both (cost about RM50 each) but I just spend on Beast album. I wished I didn't enter the shop today, because I had to buy right away...She told me that the both version were the only copies send to their shop. It's bad enough for me to ask them to book it for me (it's a business thing) so I took the version A.
I sort of tell them I'll buy the other version later...I hope she sells it anyways..I don't think I'll be buying that because I'm waiting for the repackage one which is going to be released any time soon in Korea.
Sneaky SM sure knows how to get fans buying albums. I open the CD and pop! there's a little card with Leeteuk's signature...does that mean there are 9 other ones? Oh goodness..I can't spend to buy another 9 to get the other members!!!DIE LA
Okay this analysis is barely informative but this is a blog remember?
UPDATE : OMG!! It's Teukie Bday today! WOW Daebak! I actually buy SuJu Album on his birthday..so freaky that it's the same with SS501 5 year anniversary when I bought SS501 DVD.

July and 100
What's the connection with July and 100?
HallyuSurfer will be having 100 post this month! I thought about it last month and today is July...I just think it's the right time to do this challenge!
Probably this blog is going to be filled with more MPV Reviews, probably doing the older songs.
My Random Talk and Idol Analysis will be returning. I'm trying my best to edit pictures that's why I didn't write much. I want to give my readers a break by including more pictures which I know I'm lacking. LOL, this post doesn't have any image too!
31 days...100 post. This is going to be hard.

RIP Park Yong Ha
I'm struggling to find a word to describe how I felt. Another suicide death is just too much for me. I can't believe this is real, Park Yong Ha took his own life? Please say this isn't real.
Korean actor and singer Park Yong Ha was found dead in Seoul Nonhyundong on the 30th (KST), hanging lifeless from a cell phone charging cable at his own house.
According to police, Park Yong Ha was discovered dead at around 5:30 AM by his mother. The cause of death is likely suicide, but further details are still under wraps.
He was set to do a drama along side with Yoon Eun Hye..which I was excited to.
I don't want to comment more, I'm just too sad about this. I loved him in On Air and this is just really sad for me. RIP Park Yong Ha.

You got K-popped!
Read Kpopped for further details. As you can read in the comments, I am interested to be a part of their team.
Despite a few previous post mentioning how busy I am, I want to join K-popped. It's a secret dream of mine to have a team I could rely on to make the perfect blog. K-bites first sparked that dream but it died down since I can't see myself in that blog. K-bites is a great blog, just it doesn't represent me and blogging should be personal.
In case you didn't notice, I don't write about news much. It was done on purpose because as I might have mention, there's a lot of Kpop news blog and me writing news would be redundant. I like writing about the news though, and that can be seen in my twitter account.
K-popped would probably give me an opportunity to write more on news especially on the Kpop scene which I think the site is lacking on. Orchid, Rooster and Liz are good writers but I do notice they don't post much on Kpop articles. Hopefully, if they decide to include me into their team..I would balance the site.
I was waiting for them to recruite new members and this should be the time. Don't worry though, this site isn't going anywhere. It is here to stay even if I am selected to join them!
Now I'm off to write an e-mail to them. Wish me luck!

Mid Year Special
I have not been blogging actively and I do notice I'm really behind on schedule to write MPV Review. There's so many new songs and there's a new debut too! Anyway, this post is review Music Bank mid year special performance
21 Days by Gummy, Hwayobi and Lyn (original Green Day)
Oh gosh. I can't even stand the first few second so I didn't finish it. I thought after about 4 years of listening to Engrish, I would be used to it by now. Nope, this made me cringe a lot. I understand this trio is powerhouse vocalist but I hate it when they ad-lib too much it spoil the emotion of the song. They should have used the American Idiot Cast version.
My Life would suck without you by CN Blue, TaeYeon, SeoHyun, SungMin, JinWoon and Hara (original by Kelly Clarkson)
Lack of emotion or should I say the wrong emotion? This song message is to get back someone but they're kinda smiling innocently.. CN Blue looked awkward with the rest of the group. Apparently TaeYeon went out off key but I couldn't care less..I wished they pick a song they familiar with instead of this. Nothing beats my Kelly Clarkson!
Love Song by ShinDong, EunHyuk, Jo Kwon, ChanSung and Nichkhun (original by Rain)
EunHyuk blew me away! He's awesome at his part! I love his singing, it's a nice change from him doing rap all the time. I was hoping more comedy from JoKwon since ShinDong isn't doing much comedy either. I guess he only turn around at the end for the surprise element? NichKhun and Chansung looked great..I bet someone is disappointed because no hot body actually strip...I guess we have to settle with ShinDong's one pack.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Sulli, Luna, Seungyeon, Nicole, JiYoung, HyoMin, Jiyeon, HyunA and JiYoon. (original by Lee HyoRi)
The stage look overcrowded that not all got sufficient screen time. JiYeon of T-ara looked great! Just like her character in Invisible Youth, HyoMin didn't get much screen time. JiYoung is looking good, usually I don't notice her much. HyunA, of course took care of the main dancing part so chic! The rest pretty much doing okay.
I'm disappointed with the special stage. I was hoping more since last year's was awesome! I don't think singing English song was necessary. Congrats to SNSD for winning Oh as the best song. Frankly, I still hate the song..impossible for me to love.

Yeah for KangIn!
Omg this getting me a lil teary. I miss the old SuJu where all 13 of them are on the stage smiling cheerful at each other. I was watching a SuJu MV marathon recently so yeah..I miss KiBum, HanGeng and KangIn!
KangIn will be joining the mandatory military service on July 5. I am excited for KangIn because I know he will return a better person but I can't help feeling sad I couldn't see him for 2 years.
He's suspended from all activities so I wasn't expecting anything from him before he left like any celebrity but he did give us something!
He participated on the repackaged album (oh how I hate when SM does this..my wallet is getting thinner by day!)for a song called "A Short Journey"! What makes this more special, it's written by EunHyuk and produced by DongHae!!! EunHae FTW!
That's not all. The proceeds from all digital downloads of A Short Journey were going to be donated to underprivileged children! This is one sweet thing done before leaving for the military service. Good Job KangIn!
I'm sure 2 years will be short, Aja Hwaiting Oppa! Please take care of your health!

MPV Review : Gummy As A Man
The first time I know about Gummy is when the news article on T.O.P. kissing SanDaRa Park on her video. I don't like seeing idol kissing so I didn't watch the MV... I saw her performance by chance while waiting for f(x) NU ABO performance on Music Bank and love her performance!
Music
It seems like every solo singers have their own distinct voice. I like her husky voice that is similar to Lyn's voice but still very different. The beat of the song is catchy and I love the part "keurae namjarasso"..it keep on repeating on my head!
Level of Likeness: 7/10
Performance
She looked beautiful!! I had this vision of YG ladies and she looked totally different. It's a simple performance but it did draw me into liking her song.
Level of Likeness : 7/10
Video
I absolutely love this video!!! I love the simple storyline and Kim Hyun Joong with Jung Ryeo Won looked so cute together! I wished I could do this kind of video.. It's simply done but you get the story. Adorable video wins my heart!

I am a B2uty!
Yes, I finally got my CD, T-shirt and ticket. and money gone
The worker was so sweet!! She even save a t-shirt for me to pick, which I choose black because I'm following the dark concept..LOL not, I don't like wearing white much. I think I wear too much black that she knew I wanted black because she ask if I wanted the black one first. :)
Speedy Wawasan Plaza rocks!
Without me asking, she told me she would save SNSD poster for me if there's extra. I quickly grab the opportunity to book Suju 4th album! Which she gladly accept. This is GREAT service, people should learn more about how to serve well.
So yeah, the concert is in this Saturday at 1 utama/KL Live. I guess there will be an empty spot. :(
To B2uty Malaysian...have fun! Show them the great Malaysian hospitality! Do show up with HUGE banners and scream until your throat sores..which is what I planned to do if I ever going to meet Kpop idol.
Nevertheless, I'm so happy I got Beast album, it's an Asian album produced by Universal..it's not the same with the ones in Korea but still legit. I just can't trust the China ones...nothing on it says it's from the entertainment company!

MPV Review : SS501 Love Ya
In celebration of SS501 recent win on KBS Music Bank, this is their MPV Review. They may have ended this short promotion but I hope the result would be for the best for Triple S.
Music
I always like songs that start with piano and with the beautiful orchestra rhythm gives a thriller feel of the song. The whole song is nicely done that every part of the song is catchy from the first listen. I was a little hesitant to listen to it from looking their promotion picture (dark concept) because I wanted something light-hearted like their "Love Like This" concept.
Level of Likeness : 8/10
Performance
Love the stage! The drapes and the chandelier is just enhance the whole performance. I watched their old performance and thought they aren't good at dancing but this choreography is chic. I love the present of orchestra, it completes the stage. (I have to add that I think it's just gimmick) I hate their outfits though and Kim Hyun Joong's hair. Who reveals the backside? We want chocolates! :P
Level of Likeness : 8/10
Video
They need to use the space well..I felt like the whole sets is looking fake..sets should look real! I would prefer that they don't use much hand gesture on the single shots... The dance break was hot! I love their eye expression, draws me into their eyes @_@.

Untouchable is BACK!
This gets me all excited to blog again because this song is just LOVE. I love piano mix with rap, it sounded so classy!
Sleepy and The Action of Untouchable are back again with Merry Go Round featuring Monday Kiz vocalist Lee Jin Sung. I hope their new album will include Hwayoung because I love these 3 together! In fact, Hwayoung should be a part of Untouchable! All my favorite Untouchable song is with Hwayoung...I can't wait for the album to be released!
Quiet Storm is the best album I ever listen to...yeah beating my SuJu biased. I just love it so much I want to buy it. Untouchable is one talented duo and they should get more attention. Untouchable barely got comments on Allkpop.com! >_< Give them a chance, I want them to be big!
Great news for me, they're going to release a FULL LENGTH album! I want!!!
p/s I'm hating on Hwayobi. :( She broke up with Sleepy! I had a feeling when I saw her perform "Bye Bye Bye". I was like, "oh no..she didn't!" Damn I was right.

CDs, Concert, Malaysia.
I'm so sorry for not blogging as often! It's not I'm running out of words to say just I haven't been writing lately that I'm not satisfied with my writings so it always end up in drafts.
I'm always in Wawasan Plaza, since my college is just next to it and I frequently visit Speedy to check out the latest arrival... I bought most of my Korean CDs there. Here's the list. I have post the pictures before, do check my archive!
Super Junior
1. 3rd Album Sorry Sorry
2. 3rd Album Repackaged It's You
3. SuJu M Album Me
4. SuJu M Mini Album Super Girl
5. Super Show Concert Album
6. Super Show II Concert Album
DBSK
1. Mirotic Repackaged
SS501
1. MBC 5 Men 5 Years Collection DVD
(urm..now I'm not sure if it's authentic..maybe from China!)
SNSD
1. Run Devil Run Repackaged Album
YEAH! I bought it yesterday! It comes with a fan(emm..just in case, it's KIPAS), YoonA poster (damnit I want SooYoung) and picture book.
Still no Big Bang CDs. I should have bought the ones I saw in KL...then my life would be complete! Not just yet..I'm adding B2st into the collection. Today I just placed an order for Beast Second Mini Album Shock!! =)
As mention, I go to Speedy so often that the workers know I like Korean. They even know I don't buy those China produced CDs! How did I know this? Yesterday at the counter, it seem that SNSD RDR CDs have the wrong barcode...From RM84.90 to RM40.90..I was happy for a moment until I have to tell myself, "it's bloody imported la, cannot be that cheap!"
My instinct was verified when the cashier makes a call to the other branch. I was trying to waste time so I didn't mind waiting because usually I'll take it as a sign not to buy. When she's done, she explained to me that the price is meant for the China produced ones, luckily the other branch had the right barcode for it while telling me that she knows I only buy imported straight from Korea ones.
I didn't know it's from China, I just didn't want to buy it because it didn't looked like the ones I saw in the Internet. Now I know... and thank goodness I didn't purchase it.
So today I drop by Speedy again, because I hope they might sell SuJu 4th Album or Boyz II Men Love Album. While wondering around the shop, the same worker approached me with a paper...and =D It's a picture of Beast Second Mini Album Shock!!!
She asked me whether it's Korean and if I want to order it. Of course I said yes..since it's on the "Must Buy, No need to think" list. Then I found out it's RM120. FML.
It comes with a concert ticket held in One Utama KL and T-shirt (black or white). Pretty decent? NOT. I don't have the money to fly to KL and neither does my dog allows me to. What am I going to do with the tickets? What if the boys don't get much fans at the mini concert with two songs performances and fan meeting? shoot, it's limited 2000 units.
The worker also told me that it was on sale last week..DAMN SOMEONE BOUGHT IT BEFORE ME IN KK!! She said she will order it and keep one copy just for me.. :D I feel loved. LOL It's not the first time though..I was out of money and kept on seeing SuJu's It's you album so frequently that the workers noticed it. When I finally got the money, it's bloody gone. I asked the workers and she said it's sold out. I was devastated. She must have felt my emotion and said she recently placed a new order and promised to keep one for me...It's with me now!! :D
Speedy Wawasan Plaza ROCKS! ;)
Btw, other than Beast coming to Malaysia, Brian Joo is coming on July 10th and U-Kiss is coming on 19th June...Come to East Malaysia la!!! I wished Malaysia isn't divided by the sea so I could just hop on the bus instead of airplanes. T_T
1Borneo, Why don't you invite Korean artist too? You've brought HongKong artist, why not Korean artist too? Make sure this year Korean Festival bring Korean artist okay?
adui, seratus dua puluh ringgit..ikat perutla saya ni. Takpala, cuti dua minggu bikin saya makan sja..hahaha
I'm always in Wawasan Plaza, since my college is just next to it and I frequently visit Speedy to check out the latest arrival... I bought most of my Korean CDs there. Here's the list. I have post the pictures before, do check my archive!
Super Junior
1. 3rd Album Sorry Sorry
2. 3rd Album Repackaged It's You
3. SuJu M Album Me
4. SuJu M Mini Album Super Girl
5. Super Show Concert Album
6. Super Show II Concert Album
DBSK
1. Mirotic Repackaged
SS501
1. MBC 5 Men 5 Years Collection DVD
(urm..now I'm not sure if it's authentic..maybe from China!)
SNSD
1. Run Devil Run Repackaged Album
YEAH! I bought it yesterday! It comes with a fan(emm..just in case, it's KIPAS), YoonA poster (damnit I want SooYoung) and picture book.
Still no Big Bang CDs. I should have bought the ones I saw in KL...then my life would be complete! Not just yet..I'm adding B2st into the collection. Today I just placed an order for Beast Second Mini Album Shock!! =)
As mention, I go to Speedy so often that the workers know I like Korean. They even know I don't buy those China produced CDs! How did I know this? Yesterday at the counter, it seem that SNSD RDR CDs have the wrong barcode...From RM84.90 to RM40.90..I was happy for a moment until I have to tell myself, "it's bloody imported la, cannot be that cheap!"
My instinct was verified when the cashier makes a call to the other branch. I was trying to waste time so I didn't mind waiting because usually I'll take it as a sign not to buy. When she's done, she explained to me that the price is meant for the China produced ones, luckily the other branch had the right barcode for it while telling me that she knows I only buy imported straight from Korea ones.
I didn't know it's from China, I just didn't want to buy it because it didn't looked like the ones I saw in the Internet. Now I know... and thank goodness I didn't purchase it.
So today I drop by Speedy again, because I hope they might sell SuJu 4th Album or Boyz II Men Love Album. While wondering around the shop, the same worker approached me with a paper...and =D It's a picture of Beast Second Mini Album Shock!!!
She asked me whether it's Korean and if I want to order it. Of course I said yes..since it's on the "Must Buy, No need to think" list. Then I found out it's RM120. FML.
It comes with a concert ticket held in One Utama KL and T-shirt (black or white). Pretty decent? NOT. I don't have the money to fly to KL and neither does my dog allows me to. What am I going to do with the tickets? What if the boys don't get much fans at the mini concert with two songs performances and fan meeting? shoot, it's limited 2000 units.

well..the stupid new wifi suddenly turn off by itself and won't turn on so yeah..I need to work on it.
World cup is here and don't forget to support your favorite team! Mines is obviously S.Korea..but I'm supporting Japan and North Korea too! (haha you should know by now that I'm no football fan)
I have drafted a post but it's not perfect yet, it's about Fan club! If you have any questions do post a comment..I want the post to be perfect just as how amazing Korean fan clubs are.
Oh got to go, rain is here again! :(

Yesung's Dream come true
I still remember when Yesung said that people didn't know he is a SuJu member in the early days because he had little amount of screen time on Twins (Knock out) MV. It broke my heart and I wished he got more attention. Super Junior (i prefer calling them SuJu) maybe the biggest Idol in Korea but you can't denied that it's hard to be famous individually as part of SuJu..after all it's a group of 13.
So here's Yesung doing what he does best with all the camera's on him! (feat. SuJu!)
He looked awesome! I'm so proud of him!
Btw, I just realized that the fact he's singing an OST for Moon Geun Young Drama! He always said Moon Geun Young is his ideal girl.(and Park Bo Young) I hope he could meet her! LOL
Speaking of SuJu, Shin Dong..=.= must he really do whatever he wants? I don't like his facial hairs! Mithra look fine with it but not for Shin Dong.

Idol Analysis : The leaders
Yes, HallyuSurfer has a new special post and it's "Idol Analysis". This special post is similar to my "Random Talk" post but only talking or discussing about the Idol culture.
Leader as you know does play a huge role..he/she is the person that ties all the lose knot. He/she is the image of the group for he/she is the one would be speaking a lot in interviews.
Usually in conducted polls, Yunho of DBSK always get the top place. It doesn't come as a surprised as Cassiopeia (DBSK FC) is amazing and a lot. Plus, YunHo does have the charismatic presence of a leader. However looking at the current situation of DBSK, I don't think so.
I'm sure you have gone through this..it's hard to pick a leader. I for one dislike to be chosen because you felt like been given a burden. I think that's why U-Kiss doesn't have a leader. I think it's doesn't matter though..U-Kiss seems just fine without a leader. After the departure of JaeBum, looks like 2PM doesn't have a leader too. I think..I don't read 2PM articles. I'm glad though, JaeBum is irreplaceable and I can't handle more heartbreak.
I think there are three type of leaders.
The eldest
Ranking is very important in Korea and respecting the elder is a must. It's no wonder why this is the most popular way of selecting a leader. I think it's better, it might be awkward if you're the leader but you're younger especially in Korea. Examples are LeeTeuk of SuJu, GaHee of After School, DooJoon of Beast, TaeYeon of SNSD and lots more.
The born leader
Although being eldest in the group, he/she may not be the right leader. Leader is someone that knows how to represent the group but let other shine. Despite being way younger, CL of 2NE1 definitely rocks being the leader, you see her and you think she's the leader immediately. Same goes to GD of Big Bang, He has the presence of a leader, TOP is charismatic too but no doubt GD is the one destined to be the leader. Other examples are EunJung of T-ara, YunHo of DBSK, Jo Kwon of 2AM and others.
The shy leader
Not exactly shy but I'm using a kinder words to describe them. You can't be an idol if you're a shy person! Would you believe me if I told you that Hongki isn't the leader of F.T.Island or HyunA isn't the leader of 4Minute? There was one time JongHyun of SHINee mistakenly introduce himself as the leader when actually Onew is the leader. Onew is getting better and I do see him as a leader now. JiHyun of 4Minute is almost invisible to me and I think it's best that the leader is the vocalist although JongHun is one talented guy. It's hard because all the attention is given to the other member..I observe that SeungHo of MBLAQ is going to be categorize here because Joon presence is a little too much.
(can't find the video of JongHyun mistake..but I've seen it)
So who do I think is the best leader?
It's hard to tell. YunHo was someone I thought who make a great leader, but I think GD is one great leader, he just brings the title well. DooJoon also makes a good leader too as well as TaeYeon and EunJung. I think it's all decided by their group members whether their leader is DaeBak or Jjang. LeadJa Hwaiting!

SS501 over SNSD
No I don't like SS501 more than I love SNSD... but I bought SS501 Five Members Five Years DVD instead of SNSD Run Devil Run Album. I'm so sorry but SNSD is too expensive..RM84 > RM50. Surely I'll take the cheaper one, since I'm so freaking stingy!
Hey, what do you know..I have SuJu, DBSK and SS501! NO, it's should be Big Bang first!! ARGHH...except I can't find the authentic Big Bang DVD.. I don't trust the one's at Speedy Shop because I've seen the real deal in KL but I stupidly stingy girl didn't buy it.
SS501 DVD have 3 DVD..that is mad cheap for only RM50! It seem authentic too! I might add the fact that their video in KK is also included. Yup, the one I didn't go stalk them. Now that I have the CD and currently playing it..I don't know if I want to watch it...I might kill myself because I was too lazy to go out and stalk them! Nah, just kidding..I am not a big fan of SS501, I prefer Kim Bum over Kim Hyun Joong...Arghh..Kim Hyun Joong and Heo Young Saeng is friends with SM artist too!! I should have gone! :(
Oh whatever, I bought it..It would be a waste not to watch it..Hopefully with me buying the DVD would encourage them to come to KK again. I didn't go the first round because I knew like a day after..I need at least a week notice to prepare!! I mean, they went to Gaya Island, I can't possible just go there with one day planning right? Okay enough. Past is pass.
off to watch the DVD. :P

Random Talk : Internet UP Astro DOWN
Hello. This isn't a Kpop post but if you'd care..just read. TQ
I had a pretty bad week. Stupid maid didn't told us she doesn't want to work for us..so we had to do our own house chores. We found out that the washing machine is damaged so we had to get a new one, an LG btw! (yeah Korean Brand) and no, I didn't suggest it..I wanted Samsung but it's not my money, can't say much.
Dad asked me to select the channels for Astro and changed the other one to B.yond. B.yond deal was simple..however there's one bloody (my favorite curse word..:P) term that forces us to pay more. ergh..so we didn't change it. Astro isn't making life easier nor richer. Only making THEIR life easier and richer! Stupid sales person doesn't know the deal pretty well to suggest us what to do..I would had done better! I studied the packages so well that I should be the sales person.
Oh yeah, by my previous post you'd know that my internet connection is down. My dad was right, it was the modem problem..the telekom technician tested the connection and it was fine..he claimed that few houses surrounding our area was also affected by the lightning.
I could have internet by yesterday but my dad bought router instead of modem..so we head back to Karamunsing again to buy modem..in case you're wondering, I only had internet by midnight because I went to SM St. Michael 120 years dinner. I was so tired but my dad insist on installing the modem.
I wasn't really excited to go for that dinner on the account of me hating my secondary school years. I almost teared looking at familiar faces since I lost contact with a lot of them..not that I missed them, I just had a stupid flashback. I decided to go anyway since both of my astro is down. No internet and TV, why should I stay home...
Yes, you got that. Lightning was so bad that it burn the surge protector..causing both of the astro decoder system to be faulty. I hope I don't have to change MAX or at least could retrieve the data inside because I haven't watch it yet. Oh yeah..B.yond is similar to MAX! can record too!! YEAH!
I still hate astro though.
Tough week isn't it. I prayed hard on Saturday night that my luck would overturn, and praise! My dad gain his money back two days in a row! It's not much but I took it as a sign luck is about to change.
8811 and 2822 is the no. plate of our cars...familiar with it? *winks LOL
Btw, I wanted to go college today but since Astro people coming today to fix it..I'm staying home. Finger crossed! Honestly I don't know how long is the break is but I initially plan for 3 weeks. I think I have enough break and it's a short semester..I'll go college tomorrow!

Uwaaahh..
I don't meant not to blog but my internet connection isn't working..I'm using my cousin's WiFi at the moment if you're wondering. :P
Don't know what the problem but I think it's not the modem..which my father think it is..I hope he's right but I thought otherwise. I couldn't get through since Friday..probably after the awful thunderstorm. That's what I thought.
I'm not in the mood to blog now because using my cousin's WiFi isn't fast...because I'm at my house la, If I want fast I can go to my grandma's house..Nope bad idea.
So Yeah..No blog post until my dad fixes the internet connection..thank goodness he's here for the holiday.
Anyway, It's June. If you still didn't know yet.. MTV will be showing Beast Debut story on the 19th AND SuJu MTV Exit on the same day too!!! Back to back of my favorite groups! June 19 is my lucky day!! :D
Plus, did you know the schedule of the Korean shows on Animax?
Everyday at 8PM with shows like LIVE POWER MUSIC, UllZzang, Goong, Coffee Prince and My Girl. Do check it out on Astro website for further details.
Oh yeah..it's June, sorry have to repeat it. I was going to do a project but it's on hold for a moment. :( Let's hope my misery end soon. Annyeong!

Random Talk: Twitter Kpop Celebs
Nope this isn't a post where I'm going to list down all the Kpop celeb on twitter..I'm not that annoying! Plus, I have no time to search it up..I just follow whenever someone write an article about it.
In my twitter profile, it says that "Lazy student, K-blogger and TweetAddict" I don't go on twitter as much..I have two account..depend on whether I want to blog a little or not..if it's long might as well just blog right? :D
So I do follow the K-celebs..but I'm questioning the point of doing so..It's not like I understand what they write! and I'm sure I can't really communicate with them because gazillion other fans are doing so. It's like sending a mail but it end up in the trash..I don't really mind that because that's what I would do..I'm sure they received a lot..I don't think they have enough space for every single fan things. Heck, I don't even think of sending them anything..I just want to meet them! I'm a boring fan..LOL
Opps, going off topic. It's good though that they're trying to communicate with their international fans..(considering that most twitter fans are non-korean) but I don't get excited that much when they tweeted anymore..I guess I've been betrayed a lot to believe any of it.
Okay enough ramblings..back to MPV Reviews again.

MPV Review : Seo In Kook Love U
Seo In Gook is a winner of SuperStar K that is similar to American Idol. This is his 1st comeback and he been on news on having plastic surgery but I think he still look the same with less weight. :D
Music
It's a sweet song with lovable lyrics..well I have to add that the lyrics is seem like IU's lyric with "marshmallow" and "boo". Maybe it has the same song writer. I like the song, easy listening and it's a nice change from listening to all that auto-tune!
Level of Likeness : 8/10
Performance
He would look good if he didn't put up his hair and had better outfit. The dance routines is okay I guess..I don't really expect him to dance but it's good to have it.
Level of Likeness: 5/10
Video
By the looks of it..is it in Thailand? The storyline reminds me of Princess Hours..lame,yawn.. I was hoping a good storyline. He look good with his hair down and with casual cloths. Sometimes I think stage outfits are making the singers look awful.

MPV Review : MBLAQ Y
Rain's Protege is back with Y and it's looks like they turning to mini Rain..maybe they should name themselve as Raindrop or something..LOL nope, Uri Blaq is MBLAQ..Music Boys Living in Absolute Quality.
Music
Auto-tune galore! Yeah NOT me. Enough with auto-tune already, are you telling us that the singers doesn't have good enough voice? tsk, shame on you, producers!I can't recognized their voices at all..that's really bad. Don't pull a Lil Wayne, Akon or T-pain EVER. Be proud of human voice. I love the beat of the song but I'm still questioning the meaning of the song..anyway why does it feels like Rain is on the recordings..sound awfully similar to him!
Level of Likeness: 7/10
Performance
I'm going to call Joon as LilBi because just like Rain, he like to show his abs..not complaining but I don't think it's all that great to be known for the abs. Thunder is my fave and he looks amazing!! Head mics..I can never see it as LIVE singing..it's always meant they're lipsynch but I think it is live because their vocals are not really in top condition. Their outfits are good and dance routine looks tight.
Level of Likeness: 7/10
Video
Thanks to the power of netizen, the girl is Seo Hyo Rim, Music Bank MC and Happiness in the Wind Actress. I was going to say, "nice job on covering the face"...now, "Damn she's lucky". I'm not jealous though because Joon isn't my favorite. Omg, whats with the glow in the dark outfits? O_O Anyway..my attention is all to Thunder, looking so amazing..I'm very impress with his appearance this time.

Auto-tune galore! Yeah NOT me. Enough with auto-tune already, are you telling us that the singers doesn't have good enough voice? tsk, shame on you, producers!I can't recognized their voices at all..that's really bad. Don't pull a Lil Wayne, Akon or T-pain EVER. Be proud of human voice. I love the beat of the song but I'm still questioning the meaning of the song..anyway why does it feels like Rain is on the recordings..sound awfully similar to him!
Level of Likeness: 7/10
Performance
I'm going to call Joon as LilBi because just like Rain, he like to show his abs..not complaining but I don't think it's all that great to be known for the abs. Thunder is my fave and he looks amazing!! Head mics..I can never see it as LIVE singing..it's always meant they're lipsynch but I think it is live because their vocals are not really in top condition. Their outfits are good and dance routine looks tight.

Thanks to the power of netizen, the girl is Seo Hyo Rim, Music Bank MC and Happiness in the Wind Actress. I was going to say, "nice job on covering the face"...now, "Damn she's lucky". I'm not jealous though because Joon isn't my favorite. Omg, whats with the glow in the dark outfits? O_O Anyway..my attention is all to Thunder, looking so amazing..I'm very impress with his appearance this time.

MPV Review : Davichi Time, Please Stop
My favorite female duo is back! It's time to listen Lee Hae Ri awesome vocals and look at my girl, Kang Min Kyung do what they do best!!
Music
This song is similar to their "8282" song, start off with slow ballads then at the chorus is fast paced..I think it's genius considering 8282 is a play word for faster faster. This time the chorus is slightly rockish with a touch of anthem feel to it. I didn't like at first listen but once I really listen to it..I just like it very much!
Level of Likeness : 8/10
Performance
Yeah.. MinKyung with a longer hair! I always feel like the stylist is making her look older than her age but she looks great! Vocals? you don't need to question about it..it's great as usual. The performance is simple but I wished Music Bank gave them a better stage it look dull.
Level of Likeness :5/10
Video
The girls often are not included in the filming but that doesn't matter, I like better acting and amazing storyline without interruption. I like their MV always an interesting story that we would like to see as a movie. This MV is something I wished I could do.

MPV Review : Wonder Girls 2 Different Tears
Since my favorite girl is no longer in the group, I wasn't looking forward on Wonder Girls comeback..I mean there's nothing for me to look forward to because SunMi is really the only reason why I keep listening to Wonder Girls. I decided to blog anyway just for fun..I'm bored can't you tell? :P
Music
After Tell Me, So Hot and Nobody, it's only certain I was expecting another addicting song that would bore me to death..however it's not the same for this song. I was utterly disappointed! What happen?? Wonder Girls songs are always addicting from start but this is just boring all the way. I guess the girls are so used to singing Nobody over and over again that they couldn't sing other song. 1 thing remains the same, Wonder Girls is singing retro tunes..I think it must change..
Level of Likeness: 4/10
Performance
I don't like the new girl..Bring SunMi back!! :( Okay sorry..she just need to practice on her facial expression, seem a little stiff. The girls look really happy to perform on Korean stage and it shows. I love the choreography looks fun! I can't say much about the outfits but the hairstyle is worst. WG always had the nicest hairstyle so this is probably a phase.. I hope they will return having nice hairstyle again!

Classic Wonder Girls MV, must have JYP in it..either saying his name or his appearance. It's predictable. Their expression is OTT but what do I expect anyway..they're singers not actors. This isn't an MV I would want to watch again.

Han Byul return as Monday Kiz
What a pleasant surprise! Han Byul, former lead singer of now disband A'ST1 is now back as Monday Kiz. A'ST1 disbanded since last year leaving me very sad because it's one talented group. I can't wait to see the others re-debut again. Jang Moon, I'm still waiting for you!
Oh gosh..he's blonde.
Maybe I need time to get used to it. Monday Kiz is formerly a duo but unfortunately one member got caught in a motorcycle accident and died. They recruited new members and return as a trio. I haven't really listen to past Monday Kiz but I been seeing a lot of good comments on them so I'll make sure I check them out.
RIP Kim Min Soo

I'm slacking off again.. I'm so tired, just arrived KK today.
Anyway, apparently someone turn off the recorder and the Friday recording isn't recorded and left me with watching Music Bank on YT..Oh dang, I have to tolerate with low quality video!
Next time, I paste a note not to turn off the recorder. :(
I'm surprised that I saw 2 Korean restaurant in Miri! Maybe there's more..:D I wonder if Miri has Kpop fans.. I've heard people playing Kpop!
I'm not sure if I blog it here already but I have a project coming up especially to Borneo Kpop fans. It's a blog solely dedicated to Borneo Kpop fans, I'm not sure which direction I'm heading but it will be up and ready by June. Do spread the word on Twitter, FaceBook and Blog about it okay? Thanks!

Coming up next!
I have a lot more to write for MPV Review post but I need a break in between so here's what coming up next! (in random order)
MBLAQ Y
Gummy Since He's a Man
Davichi Stop the time
4Minute Huh
CNBlue Love
Wonder girls Two Different Tears
Seo in Kook Love U
8eight The End is coming
and probably lots more.. I probably post something about Beast too. I wanted to wait to see all performance stage to select the best one out of four..I usually don't like Mnet Mcountdown.
Hopefully I would come up a topic to write for Random Talk because this starting to feel like I'm doing an assignment rather fun blogging. I don't want to see my blog filled with MPV reviews.
Oh yeah I'm in Miri NOW!! Miri readers who might be reading..HI!!! Let's meet up! LOL

MPV Review : Super Junior Bonamana
Finally Super Junior returns!!! I'm so excited despite only 10 members are back this time.. Miss you KangIn, HanKyung and KiBum! Since Super Junior is my favorite group, this post is going to be really long because I'm that biased!
Music
By default, I forced myself to say I like it after the first song. It turns out I did like the song at first listen..maybe that's why I love them..I love them unconditionally..:D As a tribute for their comeback, I include this song for my 3D presentation. I'm so happy! SuJu is my lucky charm!!

The video posted above is from Inkigayo but I have to blog about the day they made a comeback in Music Bank. I watched it LIVE!!! I thought I couldn't watch it Live because I had a presentation at 4PM..(and to my classmates who might read this, this wasn't the emergency that I had to go home earlier) but I did!! SuJu was great at Music Bank but I preferred this performance. I love the sets, the cloths and everyone looked amazing. Their dance is love!! I couldn't ask for more! SuJu is back!!

If I already like the song without the MV, this made me Love the song more.

Overall Success : A++ (because it's Super Junior)
Extra Note
I always make personal evaluation on each member so that's why I said this post is long..I have to, it's my personal tradition.
LeeTeuk : Looks like he's trying hard to shed off the Angelic image..He's the eldest so yeah, it's about time he did something manly. Inspired by Siwon, he buff himself up and wearing less cloth...:P I prefer him being Angelic but he's not getting younger.
HeeChul : I'm so happy seeing him dancing along this time as he couldn't for the previous promotion due to an injury. No matter what hairstyle he has, he always works it..HeeChul is one interesting individual!
HanKyung : Oh how he would work this concept exceedingly well! It's a pity what happen to him but I wished him all the best. I really hope things will work out for him.
YeSung : I barely noticed him this time..He is given less parts although he's one of the lead singer. He always have good hairstyle so yeah he's all good.
KangIn : He's going to Military soon and I'm hoping him well, it would be so interesting to see him to perform this but I hope military service will make him a better person.
ShinDong : Woah, what's going on up there? His hairstyle is questionable but you can't ask more for this guy that is no longer on the market..*sigh..ShinDong, I cared the fact you had a GF so please spare me the details.
SungMin : I freaking love his hairstyle!! Omg! He's working the concept well and it's too bad he didn't get much screen time! He should, he looks awesome..looking forward to his part every time I watch the performance.
EunHyuk : KiKwang style eye makeup..it's not really that cool but I guess it's a way to stand out in a group of 10. He's got that body and still maintain those slick moves..I wished to hear him doing rap parts again.
DongHae : Whatever he does, He knows how to be his own and works so well. He's the eye candy and he never fails to impress. The magic thing is so lame but as SuJu long time fan, that's totally DongHae.
Siwon : He's among the youngest in the group but he looks way mature..I hope he's not working too hard. I just read he is under the weather but I hope him well! At least this time he doesn't looked too greasy! :P
RyeoWook: This guy keeps on improving since day 1 and I'm so proud seeing him everyday because I think he makes the most improvement in the group. If you looked at their earlier days, his expression is a little over the top but now he owns the expression and I totally respect his effort.
KiBum : I have no idea what to say to this fellow, I'm kinda waiting for the official announcement that he's leaving the group or something so that E.L.F. would hunt SM down..I just can't think him as a part of SuJu anymore..nevertheless I miss his dorky rap parts.. At least appear together for awards shows okay?
KyuHyun : The magnae! now that HanKyung isn't in the group..looks like he shifted as the four leading dancer? I wished Sungmin did his dancing part instead..I'm not saying KyuHyun isn't good in Dancing but he already is the lead singer so give some chance to SungMin!
Group : The stage seem empty.. I don't know why I feel like that although 10 is a lot!! I want all 13 again!! My fellow E.L.F.s, Let's protest to bring them together! I want them back!!!

Yeah...I was as confuse when I saw the title. I did some googling and it means New Blood (as A,B,O are the blood types) or Yeppio (beauty). Hemm..Kpop never fails to make me laugh with their crazy self made words.

At first, I didn't like the song at all because it's just too overwhelming with beats all over the place. It's just really messy but then I listen to it again and I slowly liking it because it's catchy. Luna own this song, I love her parts in this song..

MPV Review : Lee Hyo RI Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Lots of article refers Lee HyoRi as Female version of Rain and coincidentally she makes a comeback at the same time with Rain. In my opinion, she's like Madonna..except in my book that's not a compliment. Like Madonna, I just don't get the hype surrounds them..I just can't seem to like their music. However, Lee HyoRi has a great personality so I like her better.

I have so much to write up but I had to start with the Kpop living legend, RAIN!! Yes, he's back! If you have no idea who he is..well, you're not a Kpop fan. He's like the first man of Kpop you have to know before claiming yourself as a Kpop fan. I could go on and on to introduce this guy, but do check it yourself..You won't be disappointed.

Strictly MV
I'm so behind in blogging so I apologized if most of my post is outdated. =.=
Please take care of my girlfriend (Say No) by Beast
It's been a while since the release of this MV and I'm so sad they didn't perform this song but they choose to perform Special.. :( I really like this song and I wonder how would the boys perform this song...I actually don't like B&W videos but this looks fine. Some of their action is OTT but knowing their personality it's not weird. I wished Dongwoon had equal amount of screen time and there's a group shot..it kind of reminds me of DBSK's Breakout PV,. Anything else, it's perfect!
Tell Me Goodbye - Big Bang
I really love their Japanese PVs and this one has to be my favorite..the color is simply beautiful and I like the concept of this video. This song is the OST for Japanese dubbed Iris drama and I do like this song better than "Hallelujah" OST for the original Korean version.
P/s I have no idea if it's my computer or not but the video quality sux big time! The title says it's HD but it's really hideous from my view. I have the good quality downloaded and it's really nice if you could view the HD version.
Please take care of my girlfriend (Say No) by Beast
It's been a while since the release of this MV and I'm so sad they didn't perform this song but they choose to perform Special.. :( I really like this song and I wonder how would the boys perform this song...I actually don't like B&W videos but this looks fine. Some of their action is OTT but knowing their personality it's not weird. I wished Dongwoon had equal amount of screen time and there's a group shot..it kind of reminds me of DBSK's Breakout PV,. Anything else, it's perfect!

Random Talk : Ugly side of kpop
Yeah, My favorite post is back! It's actually really hard to do this post because I'm running out of ideas to randomly talk about.
This time I'll be talking about the ugly side of Kpop. What could that be for someone who loves Kpop too much?
THE FANS
I could have pick Plastic surgery, younger Kpop idols or their too much information on TV..but I pick the fans...am I referring to myself? Maybe.
I'm going to generalize as fans referring to the bad fans as I know not all fans are like this. So bear in mind I am not talking about any specific groups or person.
I think Kpop fans are beyond amazing, I'm often speechless whenever I read an article that is related to fans observation. Spotting possible plastic surgery is normal because even I can! Getting old picture is lame, because it's easily obtain..but have you heard that a fan has pictures of the idol underage drinking? I'm not saying they got it from press, they are the ones who release it themselves when 2PM issue broke out and the fans used it as a threat to the company.
You really don't want to mess with the fans, they are capable of doing anything! SuJu's fan bought shares of their company to protest additional member into the group. Some weird fans write letters with blood to show their love. Eww.
When I first got into loving Kpop fandom, I was shocked to read fans giving death threats and how scary their "present" are. Choi Jin Sil was unfortunate because fans blame her for Ahn Jae Hwan suicide and she end up killing herself. Words killed her, RIP Choi Jin Sil. YunHo also received a poison drink from a crazy fan few years back and thankfully he recovered..This is how crazy fans can be.
I'm anti 2PM..sorry if my readers are Hottest but I just can't returned to like them. I'm just avoiding listening and looking at them but there are worse fans. When the news broke out that JaeBeom is officially won't be returning to 2PM, the fans rip their 1.59PM album into pieces and some return their albums to JYP building.
What I dislike the most about fans is fan war. I first know it through Dream Concert 2008, where fans are fighting against each other. I don't get it why the fans had to do it, I don't participate in it because I like both groups. Some fans had to say their idols are better than other idols. Can we all just get along?
Dream Concert 2008 is brutal..search it up if you're interested..
Although without the fans, there won't be idols up on the stage..I just hope they were less crazy.

Shindong is taken
read this article
Judging from the comments, the fans are accepting it well..I do not, I was shccked. I can never let SuJu boys go..ShinDong why you have to do it like that?
I don't know if ShinDong is an idol or not because usually idol fans would like to murder the girlfriend. :P I hope he's happy or I'll chase that girl for breaking his heart. ShinDong make sure you're the heartbreaker!
btw, I manage to watch SuJu LIVE! Today is an AWESOME DAY! I thought I would never make it to watch it on time but since I rushed home..I manage to catch it! I'll post the MPV review later..I still have 2 more battles to go on 20th May..Entrepreneurship Studies and 3D Animation.
Good Luck to me~!

Bonamana
I will be writing the MPV later, I just have to write this because it's SuJu! The reason that I love Kpop very much!
It's finally out and I can't describe how happy am I to watch this MV! I was super excited today as I don't have to watch in college. Internet running smooth and Boom! SuJu MV right infront of me! I literally jump up and down the whole time watching the MV.
*sigh The stage seem empty. Who am I kidding? 10 is still a lot but somehow being a fan of SuJu all this years make me know who's missing without counting them.
Will I ever see an all 13 stage someday? I don't know. Sorry Sorry is a catchy song from the start but how Bonamana fare? I'm a SuJu fan..I force myself to like it from the first listen. LOL but I do like it.
Bounce to you bounce to you~ Bonamana!

Triplets
YooChun, InJoon and JunYoung
What a wonderful world~~ LOL InJoon of D-NA looks like YooChun a little from the sides while JunYoung always keep me calling him YooChun! What's more JunYoung has been in a variety show for being YooChun look-a-like!
InJoon is my favorite member of D-NA while JunYoung could possibly be one..will see! I'm searching ZE:A video this week..wait, I should be doing my assignment! Why am I here??
MPV Review : Chung Lim Face
Wow. Four MPV post in a row.. I have yet to do Secret's Magic, Rain's Love Song and lots more..seriously way behind! I actually like more of Chung Lim face than his music..but he's back and I got see what he's bringing.
Music
He's an amazing dancer but he's just average in terms of vocals. His previous single "Step" didn't get stuck in my head but he's got dance skill that keeps me looking forward to his performance. I like this song better than Step so there's an improvement!
Level of Likeness: 7/10
Performance
Click HERE for the video.. That's the only video I could find but it doesn't have a embed function.
Yeah! Still looking great and I love the way he dance. I'm starting to like this song more. I just can live without all that random rhyme!
Level of Likeness : 8/10
Video
I love the color when he's in the club..makes him looked better! The part of undressing and redressing is such a tease for the female fans!! I hate the lighting though..it's blinding me at times!

MPV Review : After School BANG!
I really love "Because of you" but this is..well, just read more. After School is back again with a new member and her name is Lizzy. I think she's pretty but I don't understand her addition into the group.
Music
I was expecting more from the group that brought me "Because of You" instead they're following SNSD footstep by releasing a song I can't stand. The song is rather messy because I love the part where Kahi and Raina sings. Chants, to me are not music..not a big fan of that kind of rhythm.
Level of Likeness: 4/10
Performance
They cleverly place Uee behind this time! It's good since I don't have to see her a lot and I know she's busy with acting schedules. After School is famous for great dancers and I am amaze with their routines..I love the performance minus the song..ahaha! but it goes well together.
Level of Likeness : 8/10
Video
The video is Runway/cheerleader concept..I find it creepy that the young girls were there wearing belly showing get up..I only like the part where they were wearing white tee..the rest is a sore for the eyes.

MPV Review : Soya N Sun Good Smile
Usually I post mainstream popular hit songs but I like this song by the first listen when I first saw it on Music Bank so I thought I should blog about this.
Music
Unlike his uncle, Kim Jong Gook..SoYa sounds better in my opinion. I just don't like KJG voice. I didn't even know it was her until I looked carefully at her name.. Sun sounded well with SoYa. I like this kind of song!
Level of Likeness: 8/10
Performance
I would forgive them if they didn't dance..I don't think it's always necessary to join in the back up dancer. It's my first time seeing this kind of duo..but it seem to work well. Sun probably looked good without all that hair..I wished they smiled a little..after all the title is Good Smile!
Level of Likeness: 6/10
Video
So Ji Sub and Park Han Byul! I don't care much about So Ji Sub..I haven't watched any drama by him but he's great looking. Park Han Byul!! I never knew I would missed her! I was so excited to see her in this MV and she looked great! The scene is very simple but meaningful..I wished I could do a video like that instead of thinking super hard! I think it's best to let the audience to intrepret the meaning of a video.

MPV Review : ZE:A All Day Long
Yes, I'm finally back with MPV Review! I could say I almost forgot about this post because of the long hiatus of music show..that I couldn't keep up which is new and old. Music show had been cancelled to show respect to the naval ship sinkage tragedy.
Music
Mazeltov was good but it didn't made me want to remember all their name..This song made me! I always like songs with piano playing..and I love how it completes the song.. It wasn't catchy at the first listen but after countless of listening it just stucked in my head. I'm very happy that this song doesn't have any auto-tune!
Level of Likeness: 9/10
Performance
The performance is average..it doesn't make me want to dance a long with them..I do love the part where the rapper (I think it's TaeHun or Siwan)goes up front and then the other members were expressing the song. I love the high notes and the outfits were okay..
Level of Likeness: 7/10
Video
This is obviously a well made MV and I do think it's a good video IF I already knew their name! it's so hard for me to identify with everyone.. I wished they didn't pick DongJun and JunYoung as the main lead because it's all I see on the video..the other members dissolved in the crowds. In one part of the video where DongJun runs off with the girl it seem like it was fake..ahaha they are singers, I don't expect much!

Introducing ZE:A
I had a hard time in matching their names with their faces rather than to remember 9 Korean names. Thank goodness I have basic in Korean or I will have a harder time.
I guess it's the same with anyone else that JunYoung and DongJoon were the first members to be noticed. JunYoung looked awfully like YooChun (He even appeared on a show as YooChun look-a-like on Mnet) and DongJoon is just have that distinct face..I thought he looked like the male version of Han Ga In!
After noticing the duo..everyone else looked the same for a while. I noticed Siwan looked like Key with his own style..then there's Kevin who I think looked like SangChu of Mighty Mouth! He's Australian bloke with accent too! HyungSik look like a flower boy (a term calling feminine looking guy) so I noticed him. Kang Hee also had a distinct feature once you got it.
As for HeeChul, MinWoo and TaeHun..OMGosh, looked like triplets! I thought I would get one right then I looked at another picture they looked the same all over again! I only could differentiate them went they look straight at the camera without tilting their heads.
HeeChul looked like Ryeowook when he's looking at the sides..I think MinWoo and TaeHun are twins when looking at the sides..if straight looking at the camera..TaeHun looked like one of the KBS Gagman and MinWoo looked..normal young joe!
Based on the picture above. From top left to right.
Kevin, Kang Hee , Siwan
JunYoung, TaeHun, HeeChul
MinWoo, DongJun, HyungShik
Again..I'm not sure TaeHun and MinWoo..looked like twins!
