Why didn't I think of this earlier..I was having a stump on my ideas then, I got the easiest way out. Making a "best" post..ahaha it's my blog, I can do whatever!
Let's make it TOP 5
5. Untouchable Tell Me Why feat. HwaYoung
I love this song at first listen.. the mixture of HwaYoung's awesome high pitch vocals and smooth raps by Untouchable. Tell Me Why is a single from the 1st album Quiet Storm is on my list "MUST BUY". This song makes me listen until I get sick of it and still could return loving it a lot.
4. SNSD Into the new world
We need more of this kind of song in Kpop. The lyrics are beautiful as it's encouraging to be better. I love it's not cutesy nor sexy..the typical concept. The perfect song for debut.
3. DBSK Holding back the tears
It's particular hard to choose songs from the legendary group. Though sadden by their current situation, there's no doubt DBSK is one of the main reason why I'm so obsess with Kpop. New fans might not know this but DBSK actually debuted as an acapella group, hence my favorite songs by them are NOT dance songs. Holding back the tears is the OST of Vacation, DBSK drama written by my favorite member Micky YooChun.
2. Big Bang Lies
Originally writen for GD solo, I'm so glad it turn out as group single because this song is perfect for them to get recognize. I love the emotion of the song, I love how the parts is distributed and it's just perfect. A little contribution by Gummy in the telefon part..:D
1. Super Junior Miracle
Didn't even have to think for this one..No matter what, this song will always remain no.1 in my list. If it wasn't for this song, I might be just a casual listener of Kpop instead of obsessing the way I am today. Actually the video made me a fan. I love the adorable and the cuteness of the video..something that is so rare in the international market. For new fans of Kpop would think it's gay..but it's not. It's brotherly love! I wished they reshoot this video and add KyuHyun..It would be my dream come true!

~Untitled~
It's July 10 and it's HeeChul's Birthday!
Okay..that's not the reason of this post, well..today is the dateline to send e-mail for Kpopped to be one of it's contributors..
Hey, I don't know why I'm blogging this. I just had second thoughts. Yikes, if they read this probably they won't want me..*zip lips. Anyway I'm just worried I might not be able to achive the big 100.
I'll be going on a trip..(next week?), most probably won't be bringing my laptop..or maybe no internet connection FOR 5 DAYS. That's like 15 post! Where am I going? Kuala Lumpur. Damnit, I'm only going there after all the Kpop artist left. I can't even meet Brian Joo..I believe it's today?
So yeah, I've warn you..but I'll try my best to complete.

MPV Review : T-Max Dont be Rude
It's F4 Kim Joon's group..so I was interested in their comebacks. If I'm not mistaken, one left for military service and one new addition..but I didn't know they add another one!
Music
Auto-tune festival! Sounds exciting? NOT. Kpop didn't have this much of auto-tune when I first like it..somehow these days Kpop=auto-tune. Just cut out the auto-tune, I might like song. I don't hate it..just it's something I won't listen again.
Level of Likeness : 4/10
Performance
I like the eye expression, looks very intense. The flag props is super cool, don't mind me..I always like props in performance. Powerful dance suits the theme of the songs. Despite not loving the song, I like the performance.

I love the last part..look really cool with the flags. I wish there were more story line because it's a powerful song, but it looked great anyways.

MPV Review : miss A Bad Girl Good Girl
This blog is overflowing with Male Idols only...this isn't good, but honestly I'm tired of girl idols, them dominating 2009 remember? I decided to add some girl power to this blog and I choose miss A since they're from JYP sister company AQ Entertainment..Let it be good!
Music
Now the song got me confuse, are they or not JYP? I know I've read about them being on sister company AQ Entertainment. I'll write a Introducing post soon for that matter then. The song is catchy, I was expecting to hate it..not because of my anti-JYP (umm..that's weird coming from someone who claims to hate anti, oh well maybe I hate myself) because I didn't like what I saw from the promotional pictures. Maybe because I wasn't expecting much, I like the song.
Level of Likeness : 7/10
Performance
Obviously the pink hair stood out. I can't help but to stare at her, wondering if it's real hair or wig. Imagine the hours to get that hair! The performance is okay for a debut.. I love the camera works, the stage look good.
Level of Likeness : 7/10
Video
I don't know if it's because of Lady Gaga or not..why are there more girls not wearing pants? It's downright ugly, Lady Gaga or not. Fashion doesn't meant you have to wear less cloth, it's about looking good! The MV is boring, but I get that they want to be known as good dancers.

A Short Journey
Remember this post?
I completed my downloads yesterday and listen to "A Short Journey" all day today..it's just so good to hear racoon KangIn's voice! I'm so going to buy the repackage album..I don't care if it's only 4 songs addition, It's good enough for me to buy.
I don't know if I want to know the meaning..I'm already sad with my limited Korean. Eunhyuk did a great job in writing, I should search up for the lyric translation! DongHae did amazing too! It's not a boring ballad..which I expected it to be, since ballad is easier to compose but it's not! It has nice rhythm to it, it's a little cheerful but you can sense the sadness of the song.
Here's the song translation, get your tissues ready!
It's obvious this is KangIn feat. SuJu. It some part, KangIn sound really good! I love the group part is like responding to KangIn's part..DongHae ends it with "Kidarikae" which means "will wait".
Oh KangIn, I really hope this will be A Short Journey.

Missing this
Damn DSP. I miss this group..HanByul is probably happy being in Monday Kiz, but I miss this group very much. What a waste of pure talent.
A'st1 shall always remain in my heart. JangMoon, please re-debut soon. Magnae can, so can you!
Introducing Code-V
Here it goes.
This is their picture when they are known as Bless. It's really hard to find good pictures because they're still new and their name is common, now I'm starting to appreciate the weird names. Code-V isn't really unique, although I like the meaning behind it.
It's no brainier that I choose to introduce Code-v first, Infinite got 7 members that look so alike I want to die. It's like memorizing ZE:A names all over again!
The first person I noticed is JaeWon..the blonde one, because he looks like someone. I think it's a member from DnT..then I took a look at DnT picture, I don't think so...
Actually all of them looked like someone..from left to right, Sol looks like Eru.. JaeWon looks like hemm still can't figure out, Naro looks like T-max MinChul, Sang Woo looks like Yoo Sae Yoon the comedian
Yup..that Yoo Sae Yoon. Finally, TaeMin looks like Jumper's Rocky!
This is easy...I memorized their names! TaeMin, Sol, SangWoo, Naro and JaeWon. Now going to search for radio video. Personally, I like searching radio videos of new artiste because that's where the talent is shown most of the time. Hopefully I can find one.

Taeyang's Biggest fan is..
IU!!
Talented 1993-er girl, IU recently sang the female version of TaeYang's I need a Girl..which is "I need a Boy" in a radio station.
It's too bad she's young that all her songs are too cutesy for my liking. I love this cover, sound so good and they should make a duet together! Hey, maybe she should replace Dara! Nope, bad..IU is still underaged.
TaeYang, you obviously already have a girl..what are you singing about then? :P

MPV Review : Super Junior No Other
Yeah! the MV is finally released! As you know I'm a huge fan of SuJu..do expect a biased review!
Music
This kind of song is my favorite..it's like Miracle with lots of sound editing! Yeah, not a big fan of unrealistic sound but it's SuJu..anything goes. I love the cheerful tone of the song, it's good fresh feeling from all the dark concept 1st half of 2010.
Level of Likeness : 10/10
Performance
This is all I need to cheer up again. The perfect song for the summer, because we need some good vibe song and this is so cheerful! I love they are wearing casual yet still smart. The dance movement is cute and I would love to see more bromance on this performance. It's just so good to see everyone smiling!

What do I feel...I don't know, I'm just SCREAMING!! OMGOSH..this is just too cute and adorable! Smiling faces through out the video is the perfect remedy to chase away the blues. HyukJae,I mean EunHyukie looking hawt for us! He definitely wants to show off his hard work! Good Job! I can't help but thinking ShinDong's part is meant for his GF..:( Yesung is the STAR..I think he got more screen time this time! WAIT, I just realize KyuHyun and SiWon isn't in the dance shoot...WHY?

As usual, here the personal evaluation for each members!
LeeTeuk : The leader doesn't show off his abs this time and I'm glad he's back to Angelic Teukie!! It suits best with him..
HeeChul : Looking good with platinum blonde hair! HeeChul never fail to impress me with his sense of style. Staying true to himself, got to love his genuinely HeeChul smirk and expression!
YeSung : Oooh, who's getting more screen time and lines this time? YeSung definitely shines through the whole song, performance and MV. I know I can only always trust him with having good hair!
ShinDong : This guy keep on breaking my heart..I already knew he have someone in his life, so I know the song is directly toward his GF..huhu, Thank Goodness you shaved!
SungMin : Loved the hair in Bonamana but I like this one better as the previous hairstyle keep on covering his smiling eyes! He still needs to get more lines.
EunHyuk : DA BODY. DA RAPPER. DA DANCER. DA BEST. Need I say more? DAEBAK!
DongHae : Cute, part two of his rose performance. Always adorable with his perfect smile. Perfect boy as usual!
SiWon : A gentleman that always look good no matter what he do..He's really talented, I'm sure he can go far by himself so I'm really glad he sticks to SuJu!
RyeoWook : Wookie! Gosh, isn't he's getting cuter by day? He used to be one of the least favorite member of mine but he's improvement is so admirable! Note, all SuJu are my favorite.
KyuHyun : Magnae looking smooth, is this part 2 from Seoul song? :D Glad his fine..Don't get sick again!

Close call
Apparently it's just one sided proposal..Shin Dong done the parents meeting yet! PHEWW and he's not sure whether it's going to be this year or not! YES!!!
Here's a quote from Allkpop..ShinDong's Tweet
“Just returned to Korea after finishing our performance in China… I was surprised to see that it’s still on the top searched items… First off, thank you for your interest ^^ However, I think I made a mistake..
The meeting with the parents I mentioned yesterday was simply to talk about our relationship, but it seems as though many heard it to mean that we were planing on setting a date.. I’m sorry.. Also, I can assure you that we are not going to immediately get married tomorrow.. So, within this year you ask?? This also, I believe will be hard.. I just proposed one-sidedly and I’m not ready…
It seems to be more difficult that the thought of preparing for the wedding itself whew… It’s so hard even before it’s been decided; it’s going to be crazy when we actually do set a date!! Wowa!!!! Thank you to all of you who have cheered us on!!”
Pheww..it's not this year, I probably could handle the truth next year. ShinDong, baby steps baby steps please!

MPV Review : Code-V Addiction
Back in 2007, I was in form 5...obsessing with SuJu,Big Bang and DBSK. In the same year, Bless debuted. Now they're back with a cooler name and I have a feeling they are here to stay!
Music
It sound like Super Junior's Neorago in the intro..I'm not pointing fingers here..I love having sense of familiarity in new song. It's a dance number but you could still hear beautiful voices behind the heavy rhythm. This song is good, from the beginning to the end..I love the whole arrangements.
Level of Likeness: 9/10
Performance
Yeah..back to the good ole 5 member group! Everyone have a distinct facial look, this should be easy to memorize. The performance is a little bit boring for me..I find it a little messy in the choreography but there's no doubt their vocals are good. The group is a little old for the title "idol" but Leeteuk is one, it's not impossible.
Level of Likeness : 6/10
Video
LOL..I didn't realise the "Bless is back" nice touch there! The overall concept is a bit puzzle for me..I don't get the connection of the objects. I think it might be symbolic, it's more towards poison rather than sense of addiction. There's some cool special effects and I love the hue of the B&W.

MPV Review : Infinite Come back Again
There's been a lot of debuts lately, I can't keep up! I wanted to be fair..but wth, it's my blog! I should just blog what I want. Having Epik High as their mentors, Infinite should be good.
Music
Wait..this is Epik High's protege? It's sound totally different from Epik High usual beats. It sound fresh with lots of guitar rhythm but still very Kpop with the title hook "Dasi Torawa" (Come Back again). I'm not sure if I like this but it's not bad.
Level of Likeness: 7/10
Performance
Oh gosh..I have to learn 7 new names? I can't use this video to learn their names..not with 7 members. So far, no eye candy for me yet..pretty much look average.

Drama talk
The above picture is "Love in the Vineyard" starring Yoon Eun Hye and Oh Man Seok while the below picture is "Happiness in the Wind" starring Kim So Eun.
I think Love in the Vineyard is the only Yoon Eun Hye drama I haven't watched and I heard great reviews regarding Oh Man Seok..I want to know what's the big fuss about this guy since I watched him in Jolly Widows but I wasn't really impress.
I've been watching daily short drama since You're my destiny which means I've watched 4! The Road Home is my current favorite but Happiness in the wind isn't bad at all! Daily drama is really long drama, up to 100 episode.
I love Happiness in the Wind but daily drama is getting me bored at times...I think the twist and turns are rather ridiculous at times. One thing for sure, you know who is ending up with who at the end. The common theme would be rich falling love with poor or vice versa..The main character is always poor and the partner will be the son/daughter of a rich person.
For this drama, I hate it's about age difference. 1st couple is a guy who's in his 30's with a out of wedlock child falling in love with a 20 year old. 2nd couple is a 20's guy falling in love with a widow woman in her 40's. 3rd one, is of course..a poor girl who fell in love with a son of a business woman.
Bring on a new theme! Why there must be a rich/poor relationship in every drama?
OMONA SHINDONGIE!!!!
I hate that everyone seem to congratulation him. It's even worse that one mention "Thanks Goodness it's ShinDong, if it's the other SuJu member I would faint" or something like that...I don't get it. As a SuJu fan, any member who announce to be married is just sad news.
ShinDong, you are famous..Just because you're chubby it doesn't make you any less likeable. I'm such in a bad mood.

Decision to make
Not making this blogging experience a dreadful one..I want a little break in between so I won't feel like I'm doing my assignment at the last minute.
I already send e-mail to K-popped!!!
All I need to do is wait for their response. I didn't really do properly but I hope it's good.
I'm feeling lazy today so only 3 post today. 100 is a big number..I done it before, I can do it again!

Raising the age limit
Music Bank, Music Core and SBS Inkigayo are no longer viewable to 14 years and below.
Honestly, is there any parents followed that rules? I remembered me and my brother were the only ones who watched less movies because we aren't 18 yet and my parents enforce the rules strictly. My peers told me they watched some movie and I gasps because I knew the movie was 18 years and above.
As the saying goes, "children says the darnest things"..nothing shock me more than Korean children. I love watching Star Golden Bell and often, for entertainment..the children will imitate a dance routine. I'm fine with Gee dance routine but seeing them moving to Abracadabra? That's just wrong.
SuJeong of the Star Golden Bell child, she is way matured for her age..I shook my head whenever she tells why she like certain idol..namely because of the idol good body..O_o! It maybe script, but it's still disturbing.
Is 15 the perfect age? I don't know..I guess, 18 would be better but there are idols younger than 18.
HyunA (pictured above) has retortly reponse at the media regarding her outfit and I have to agree with the media although I love her. She wears too little cloth, and she's young. I didn't know showing your undercloths are fashionable..it's just tacky.
MPV Review : TaeYang I need a girl
Taeyang is back with I need a girl...Got to love that title, because you know it's going to be a HOT song! I'm expecting a Usher vibe, you know the "I need a girl, to ride ride.." LOL I love that song!
Music
Shy TaeYang sounds really HAWT! Almost whispery tone, he sounds really sexy and seductive. G-dragon help to balance it by rapping so smoothly. I love this song.
Level of Likeness :9/10
Performance
I don't know but I didn't really like this performance..it's like he sang half-heartedly. I'm so happy to see the girl paired with TaeYang! She's so pretty, I like her since she danced with him in "Only Look at me". The sets are nice but could have been better. Love the short appearance by GD, he looking hawt as usual..miss the blonde hair though!
Level of Likeness: 7/10
Video
Shy? Innocent? Blaaah! This video proofs otherwise! He looks like a seasonal playa! His smile is too sexy to handle..makes you want to shout "I'll be your girl, honey" LOL I just don't get the girls surronds TaeYang and GD..reminds me ofGorilla JYP. My favorite part is obviously Dara wearing simple white top with topless TaeYang..:P *winks

MPV Review : 8eight The end is coming
A lot of musician often tells how mysteriously the title fits their personal life and interested with the title, I decided to hear their single. I watched a couple of their videos before and I like it. This should be okay.
Music
Not following their namesake, this group is a trio. 8eight consist of one powerful male vocal (whom I love featured with Untouchable!), gorgeous female vocalist and a rapper.I like the overall feel of the song but my qualm would be the song is similar to their previous song..I can't really tell them apart.
Level of Likeness : 8/10
Performance
A bad habit of mine is to fastrforward to my favorite artiste only and this doesn't give a chance to other great musician like 8eight. I'm glad I played this one. This performance brought my attention because I love the emotion potrayed in this performance. This is my style of rap mixing with good vocals..I'm liking the song more because of this performance!
Level of Likeness :8/10
Video
For the beauty of the video...I wished 8eight was in a different set instead of using the same one..because it's like they supposed to be in the storyline but they're doing nothing but singing. Nichkhun looks fine...seriously wings? I guess they're playing with his nickname.."Angelic Nichkhun"!

MPV Review : Dae Guk Nam Ah Stumble Stumble
Here we go again, Dae Guk Nam Ah aka D-na took a 180 degree transformation and I'm not liking it. I understand it's a part of the whole idol process but I don't like changes when I already like the way it was.
Music
Except the "stumble stumble" part which I think is so similar to U-Kisses' Bingeul Bingeul I actually finding myself enjoying the song. Maybe it's the piano intro draws me in. I said it many times before, and I have to say it again..I HATE AUTO TUNE! D-na have amazing voices that doesn't need to be altered! Don't mess with their voices!! Why do technology have to destroy their good voices?
Level of Likeness : 8/10
Performance
Husky..I mean HyunMin. I really have to start memorizing the Korean name not the old English name!! Anyway, he doesn't have to wear that football gear does he? I think sports equipment should remain on the field and not to bring to the stage. InJoon look less like YooChun, huhuhu..I guess, I still have JunYoung for that. I'm surprised to see Garam in black hair..he look masculine instead of feminine! A very good move indeed. Jay still with bright color hair..Mika look is boring.
Level of Likeness : 6/10
Video
Of all sports, why American Football? This is like Hug MV and Oh MV featuring the sports on MV..Why? I'm not saying this because I hate the game..ehem, Eyeshield 21 is one of my all time favorite manga! Rapper is not equal to weird choice of sunglasses okay Jay? I hate this MV destroy their previous image..I want the previous image back!

MPV Review : Orange Caramel
Orange Caramel is a sub-unit of After School but it got me puzzle why the name Orange Caramel..I think Kanye West inspired name (college dropout, graduation etc) are better than a food name. I was shocked to see their outfits..and I didn't think I want to do a review but there's a lot support behind them! It must be good like Bo Beep Bo Beep of T-ara!

Level of Likeness :4/10

I watched it without the audio of course. The dance movement sort of reminds me of trot..the only thing I liked. The stage outfits are downright outrageous but still very fun. Hate the colors..Netherlands, opps..World cup blues..

Support Jay!
Remember this?
Jay Park of AOM posted this as his first video and it's a song by B.O.B. featuring Bruno Mars and here is the preview featuring Jay Park!
I thought it's pretty cool that he sings it with B.O.B. himself. Bruno Mars was good, Jay Park just made it more famous with the Kpop fans. Jay is in Korea right now probably filming for the upcoming movie "Hype Nation"
I'm not a fan of movies but I guess I'll be watching this! :D

MPV Review : 4Minute I My Me Mine
It's only few days ago I blog about their Huh single and now they're back with another single. 4Minute is sure creative with their titles? I don't know..I just don't fancy this kind of title.

Oh my gosh..the heavy bass and the auto-tune suddenly makes a comeback. The song is kind of addicting despite the annoying tune. Probably like Muzik I might grow liking the song.

Woah.. they started really strong! I like the intro. Sohyun and Gayoon hair needs to be better..HyunA kills it with the blonde do! She can practically rock any color! Their outfits are a little boring, it felt like normal cloths not stage outfits. As usual choreography are great!

Watch KBS World on Internet!
I like watching TV alone so I always record my favorite shows and watch it at my own time. It comes in handy whenever I had to go Miri or other trips. However my place is always struck by lightnings and often my recording will be gone and I have to skip that show.
As you know, Youtube isn't like before where the Korean shows (with subtitles) are a lot and easy to search. Now it's getting harder and you have to be fast before the video gets deleted.
Now that problem is solved with KBS World on Internet!! Well, it's only KBS at the moment I hope other TV station follow because I really want to watch Strong Heart and We Got Married!
Head down to KBS World now! All you need is to sign up and sign in. :D

A SuJu Update.
I'm being such a bad fan.. I didn't know they haven't released No Other MV yet..I almost wrote an MPV Review! I just pressume that the MV is already released because they're currently promoting it. The latest news is that it's already complete..so I'll be waiting for the MV to write my MPV Review.
In another news, Kangin was enlisted to military service TODAY. I was really happy for him but I couldn't help but to tear up when I saw the pictures. It's so good to see SuJu members supporting KangIn..Dang, where's KiBum?! I'm not surprise the absent of HanGeng, KiBum must be "busy" acting again for don't know what project... >_<

Oh gosh..11, that's an improvement!

Oh gosh..11, that's an improvement!
Update!
She said she's going to blog 100 for this month...where is she then?
Oooohh My apologies! I went to Miri on Friday and just arrive yesterday. I didn't bring my laptop with me because it's pointless when I don't have any internet connection!
I guess I'll have to work harder today..=.=
Today I'll be posting MPV Reviews, I haven't work on the Idol Analysis and Random Talk yet..I'm so lazy when it comes to picture editing but no worries it will be done.
I almost forgot about K-popped thingie! It's still on but I haven't send an e-mail to them yet. I have to find the perfect article to write to them. July 10 is the deadline..I only have 5 more days!
The next post will be around in the evenings..I have class!

MPV Review : CN Blue Love
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.

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.

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!

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!
Level of Likeness : 10/10

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

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!

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!
