First it was good ole 5

then, there's 8.

I have no complains about After School but constant change isn't that good. I hope that the new mystery girl is Sooyoung. Not another newbie! After school is a rotation group but I really hope no one graduate too early.

Yoseob cute mistake

:D I noticed right away.. it was almost went unnotice! XD Yoseob if you didn't smile I would have not notice it! I missed that cute smile of yours! You're so adorable!


Beast is the B2ST!

p/s welcome Kristina Montalbo!! Thank you for being my follower!

random talk

It's been three years of obsessing Kpop idols..and I'm getting bored! Back then, there's a lot of information I learn each day..now it's like waiting for news to appear..boring!

I love searching for information rather than waiting the latest news..SuJu was the most fun one because 13 different personality followed by DBSK..So many random trivia about them!

Before the whole copy-right thingie going on, so many videos to be discovered..now everyone is afraid of being suspended.. I'm tired of searching all over again!

I thought sometimes that maybe I should just concentrate on one group..because knowing everything is hard.. you know what's going on with DBSK,SuJu and ..you know who! I thought maybe I shall just convert this whole blog into a BEAST fandom.. at least I will have a solid fan reader! ME! I love them so muchie!!

Nothing excites me anymore, I don't know if I could trust bromance anymore.. sad sad thing man. I want to go back before knowing everything about KPop! Just obsessing over YooChunnie was enough.

This blog is a mess.. I wonder when will I ever clean up.. suddenly I don't care about anyone reading this or not. Well, we grow everything it seems.

KK Korean Food

I'm so bored with Kpop these days.. (with the exception of Beast) so I thought why not add a little twist in my blog? I'm feeling hungry right now since I didn't have a proper dinner so here's a food blog!

Okay absolute no picture because I'm not going to spoil myself.

Here's the list of restaurant I know in KK
1. Bintulu Korean Restaurant at Lintas (near Seoul Noraebang)
2. Bi Won/Secret Garden Korean Restaurant at Lido
3. Mee Doo at Bornion (Opposite Foh Sang)
4. Goong Korean Restaurant at Damai (same row with Yoyo)
5. Korean Seafood Restaurant at Asia City
6. Korean BBQ at KK Times Square
7. Korea Restaurant at Api Api
8. Ko Ryeo Jeong at Warisan Square
9. Hi Seoul at Likas Square
10. Supul Restaurant at City Mall

I know there's more but I can't remember.. I've only been to 7 &8 on the list. I have tried bulgogi, ramyun, bibimbap, dosirak and kimchi. Which is little.. I hope to get a chance on going to all the listed above.

If you're interested in seeing some of the pictures, here's a link for you.

hemmm..hungry.I'm heading to bed la..

Bye-Yeom! (Kikwang style)

Seo Hyun and Yong Hwa

Cute, I don't really follow WGM but this couple is so funnily awkward! I can't help myself from watching!

I actually hated the pairing because don't we all know in Seo Hyun's head is all about "Sweet Potatoes"? LOL but it looked genuine that she like sweet potatoes than guys. The first episode was great, got to see all CN Blue members reaction..SO funny!

Although I love Kang Shin Woo(I can't believe I still remember his character name!!), but JungShin is so attractive! I love bassist! You know what I've noticed? Bassist always get less screen time..I know because in F.T.Island, I only want to see JaeJin but I can't see him much :(

Opps, out of topic already la.. Anyway, I was going to say that I actually noticed SooYoung gesture but I thought it was part of the song.. since I don't speak Korean! Soo Young Jjang! She's so kind in helping SeoHyun!

20th March

I wished I never knew about this, come on how many time do I have to suffer in my lifetime before I get to watch SuJu?

So here it is, SuJu finally coming down to Malaysia for the third time (please tell me I'm right because if there's more..I died) The first time they came I knew but I wasn't a big fan yet, the second one is for MTV Asia Awards in 2008 and boy did I curse a lot on that day.

What am I going to do on THE day, pretending it never ever happen and this is such a bad dream. Okay, most probably will be on my laptop the whole day watch my Super Show DVD or listening to Super Show II CD while playing the light stick all by myself like a crazy woman.

There's so many ways I tried to calm myself down. First, thinking that not all 13 will be there(I don't think KangIn, HanKyung and KiBum will be there) and hoping it would be cancelled. I'm so sorry I'm beyond crazy. I can't help to think the fact I'm so near yet so far! If there weren't ocean separating us, I would so sneak out and travel by bus to get there. I couldn't, I only can get there by airplane..which don't cost below RM100. You think I bloody rich meh?

If it never happen, so I won't have to worry.. SuJu need to know I am their fan in Malaysia.. I can't believe I'm missing out on such great opportunity! When I bought the DVD, the ajumma ask whether I'm going..I felt like want to cry already! My family didn't pick the right time to go KL!! What's more, the latest issue of EPop magazine is giving away some tickets!! Okay, I could try enter the contest but confirm I tak boleh menang. I mana ada money for the plane tickets too, FML.

Since 20th March is approaching soon, probably I'm a little bit crazy.

Can there be miracle? Life could get better! or maybe NOT.

This is what I want.

I love this performance the best! Come on Music Bank and Music Core, learn it from Inkigayo! The elements were so cool and I just love the stage! The camera angle here is awesome, unlike the other two.

My boys looked awesome, more of this please!

MPV Review : Kara Lupin

Nicole, HaRa, GyuRi, JiYoung and SeungHyeon are back!! (In case you're wondering, yes I arrange the names according to my favorite member) Well, it seem they're sticking with the sexy concept. Unlike most of fan, I actually don't like their hairstyle (except Hara and Jiyoung)Gyuri should just stick with long hair..Goddess always have long hair dear! Nicole and SeungHyeon hairstyle isn't bad but I couldn't see their eyes during performance!

Music



The song is a little messy but I find it catchy from the first listen. I love when they go "As usual it's mine" I have no idea what the song is about but from the title..is it about Lupin, the thief? I love this song more than I love SNSD Oh so yeah, it's a good sign!

Level of Likeness : 8/10

The dance is rather comical yet I love it. I choose this stage because I love the combination of two performance. It looked special and mysterious. I love this performance and it made me like the song better!

Not exactly loving it although the concept probably suit the song. I just don't get the concept at all so I don't what to comment. The girls looked great in their costumes, very sharp and matured.

MPV Review : D-NA Admiring Boy

Another newbie! I wasn't really paying attention towards this newbie because I was busy and they aren't really attractive to me. Well I'm like a normal fan sometimes, I need some background stories before liking them. For example Beast has almost debuted artist and MBLAQ having Bi (Rain) as their "boss". It does help if you're from the big three (SM, JYP, YG).

Music



Apparently lots of people comparing these newbie with DBSK. As much I hate comparison in Entertainment(long story) I do admit I see some similarities. The song is rather cutesy which is a bit unusual since debut usually promotes heavily dance song to get attention. So there's where the DBSK comparison comes from, DBSK debuted with "Hug"! I like the song, no engrish but I'm used to Korean so it's a nice change.

Level of Likeness: 7/10

Performance



Hemm..why does everyone looked the same to me? I'm so sorry, but I will take time in knowing all of the names soon! I don't like the outfits and stage but the boys did well in their performance. D-NA should learn from Beast to make some bromance on stage. It's a cute song and it's such a waste not to show bromance. I can picture all the cute bromance while watching the performance..but sadly none appeared! If there is, tell me. I need my bromance fix..since DooSeob is busy making me believe they're hot. One fanservice I manage to catch is the "heart". Not enough, please do more!

My stance on 2PM

This will be the final post regarding 2PM and I shall never talk about this topic ever again. It's just an ugly part of Kpop I wished I was never involved.

Regardless of who's right or wrong, I don't care about what 2PM does. I'm going back from where I started, not liking them. I only started liking them during "Again & Again" promotion, but then I forgot how I felt already thanks to this mess. For such a short period of liking them got me into this mess, I wish I was never a 2PM fan and just forgot this. Watching Idol Army and Wild Bunny was the biggest mistake I've done.

All I remember now is the pain that 2PM gave me. I don't have much sweet memories with 2PM. I just realize everything was a lie.

There's so many ways of breaking up but I don't understand why they had to choose the hard one.

A'st1 disbandment made me really sad, but I will remember them forever. As for 2PM, I need to get you out from my life.

MPV Review : Beast Shock

If you had see me when the teaser, MV and the performance been released, you would probably thought I was crazy! Jump up and down with loud scream..urgh, I do look like a fool!

Music



I didn't really like the song at first because of the auto-tune but with constant repeat it just stay in my brain. I got the chorus in my head on constant repeat despite the engrish! I want sing it but come on, I'm such a grammar police! People would stare me in disbelieve! I forgive them though since none of them are native English speakers.

Level of Likeness : 9/10

Performance



This performance would be so better without the effin lights! Music Bank didn't learn from Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry" mistake! The camera angle is just so bad.. it doesn't capture the boys emotion well. What's with only YoSeob and JunHyung with hand microphone? The rest are using headmics..does that mean the rest are lip-sync?
My boys did great it just Music Bank sucked.

Level of likeness: 8/10

Video



Perfect 10! I have never see such perfect MV that fits the concept of the song! Yes, the video did "shock" me a lot! I wasn't expecting this kind of vibe from the boys! What I love the most is that the camera angles.. it synchronize with the song very well and express the song really good. Love this video very much!

Drama discuss

If you watch Korean Drama regularly, you would notice that most story revolve around "love triangle" plot (and the current trend is rectangular and other polygon)

I know the plot is overly repeated but that the essential part of Korean drama. By 3rd drama, you can totally predict who's going to end up with who.

So here's the discussion,

"Who do you support in the battle of love-triangle?"

A typical love triangle story must have the lead actor as "Nappeun NamJa" (Bad guy) while the other guy is the "Chakan NamJa" (Good Guy) and the lead actress will be someone very cheerful and sometimes dumb.

I always like Good guy..I don't see the charm of the bad guy. Like most Kdrama, I know the Bad guy will get the girl. Why do I like the Good guy instead the Bad guy (which most Korean prefers..Nappeun Namja is quite famous)?

1. Way cuter.

We all have our preference but isn't it obvious? I love Jang Geun Seok in "You're Beautiful" but Jung Yong Hwa is certainly more attractive to me. In "Autumn in My Heart", my first Kdrama was even clearer in visual. Obviously Won Bin is way cuter than that thick eyebrows! (I know his name okay, it's Song Seung Hoon)

2. Better personality

Again, referring to "You're Beautiful", Jang Geun Seok character always annoys Park Shin Hye..it annoys me too! Kang Shin Woo (I mean Jung Yong Hwa) is just so angelic beside Jang Geun Seok! In "Taking Care of Young Lady" Jung Il Woo character is just too nice for his own good. Yoon Sang Hyun is "..." (lol, I only watches Jung Il Woo parts)Another good example is Goong, Kim Jeong Hoon!!!! Gahhh, I hated Joo Ji Hoon so much for having Yoon Eun Hye instead of the good Lee Yul!

3. Available!!

As mention above, the second guy always end up with no one.. I can't remember any drama I've watched that the good guy gets the girl. So it's like the writer's gift to us fan to fantasize with the available guy! hihi

Having said all of those, not all drama I wished the other guy would get the girl. I rooted for Lee Byung Hoon in "Iris" and Kwon Sang Woo in "Stairway to Heaven" it's the perfect match and no one should tore the perfect couple! Probably because the other guy is a jerk (Iris, Jung JunHo is such a jerk!!) or a brother (Shin Hyun Joon..as Choi Ji Woo step brother, cannot one le!)

Hopefully with the referrence, I didn't give too much spoilers. :D Btw, ironically Jung JunHo and Shin Hyun Joon are best friends in real life! :P

Congratz!

I know it's a little bit late to say this but my blog is close for a month! Better late than never right?

Eun Ji Won, leader of now defunct Sech skies is going to marry his girlfriend!

Congratulation to the 1d2n cast member and I hope even after when he gets married, his character will remain the same! :D He's the second former idol to get married after S.E.S. Shoo! (Oh yeah, congratz to her as well!)

I wonder how would Kang Ho Dong and the rest 1d2N members response to this news! Can't wait for the new episode!

MPV Review : Untouchable Living in the Heart

My Favourite duo is BACK! I'm so excited for this comeback because I'm really down lately without my usual obsession doing any promotion. Untouchable, it's good to have you back!

Music



I really like Narsha however I really hope they only make collaboration with Secret or HwaYoung. Narsha is famous, and it looked as if they want to ride the fame ride together! Well at least they're performing with Ji Eun! As I said before, I'm not a big fan of Korean hip hop but Untouchable is exceptional! They sound really good when rapping!

Level of Likeness: 8/10

Performance



Blonde virus infected Untouchable too! It wasn't bad Sleepy, but I wish you didn't keep your facial hairs. The Action and Narsha looking good.

Level of Likeness: 8/10

Video



Like Untouchable previous videos, they tend to replace the featured singer with some random people.. I thought it's better that they didn't replace and just leave them out completely like "Tell Me Why" video. It's weird seeing somebody else lip-sync to it. The video is a little simple.

2PM is going under!!

This is funny!


So there, the power of netizen. Lots of people are angry with Hottest (2PM fanclub)action of releasing pictures that can harm 2PM image, but in some ways, I could understand why they did that. It probably means, "I hate 2PM.. I'm going to tarnish your image forever and I don't care anymore"

Probably eh? I always hate anti-fan who does that. This action came from a former fan and I guess it's the way of expressing their disappointment. Small action are unheard so this is great way to make sure the stand is in the headlines.

So okay, it should be done nicely but why do we have to care anymore? We didn't get what we want and we would like to act childish so you'll give us attention.

I'm sticking with KHottest, I knew Jay's return was almost impossible..and it was IMPOSSIBLE. This is a dark period for Kpop fans, I pity those who just got to know Kpop because Kpop isn't like this. I love KPop because it made me smile..Hopefully, new Kpop lovers won't be interested in this issue.

"Only 13" protest was the first dark part of Kpop I got to know, it was really a huge deal back then but luckily I wasn't into blogs at the time so I forgot that part and become Kpop fan. New Kpop fan, Kpop can make you smile.. try searching for old videos like Xman! Be happy and forget about 2PM..

Updates

Me and JYP are done! I don't care who's right or wrong at this moment. All I know is Jay and SunMi won't comeback and it's DONE.

Have you seen Beast new teaser?! I'm so excited for it that I watched it! Usually I pass on teaser because hemm, I always end up dissapointed. I know my boys will do well! OMGosh, Blondie is no longer blondie.. :( I knew it they're going to color it because I saw him wearing snowcap on SGB!

Here's the teaser


I've been wanting to say this, "Untouchable is BACKKKKK!!!" My favorite male duo is finally back! Aish, but only with a Mini-album just like Beast! Why oh why..I want full length albums from them!

I'll post MPV Reviews next.

I knew it.

Read THIS

The above link is my previous post about the 6 member 2PM and I was right. 6 Member did end up being doing better without Jay and it's official, Jay is no longer coming back.

All this while I hoped I was wrong.. I made a promised to myself that if I was wrong I will buy all 2PM CDs. Now, I just want to break the CDs, I'm going to stay away from CD shop now...lol

So then, there's this one unsolved mystery.. What did Jay do during "Again & Again" promotion that made JYPE made this decision?

We could only guess.

All I want now is a statement from Jay. Without his statement, I don't want to deal with JYP anymore. I'm shutting any music by JYP and I don't care if it's selfish.. I'm just using my right as a consumer. Preferably, I want to see a video of Jay saying we should support a 6 Member 2PM. If not, bye JYPE.

My message to Jay is

JaeBum aka Jay Park,

Please come back to the entertainment scene. You can do acting, be a solo singer, or perhaps in a new group. I don't mind..All I want is you to be back in the mainstream not underground. Don't waste your talent, you know well you're better than that. I miss you a lot.

I got your back..I'll support you no matter what. I promise.

Mimie.

Welcome Back

Open earlier than schedule but hehe there's a reason behind it.

I couldn't be on time in properly design my blog but I really want to blog about the recent events so here I am with a poorly design blog! I hope it's at least readable. :D

I really don't like the colors but the blogger isn't being friendly with me..I am going to search for a new layout so be patience. :)

Next post is totally dedicating to JaeBum.

Random Talk

Yeah this blog was closed for the month of February but I am still so busy with all the festivity and assignments. I thought I won't leave this month archive empty so this is the only post for February!

It's not like I run out of ideas to write, I'm not feeling the mood of writing anything at all! call me crazy now, actually I was thinking of quiting Kpop altogether.

It had been in my mind ever since Kibum wasn't actively present in SuJu promotion activities. He didn't even go on stage at least once! Han Kyung does it for me, He was my favourite member (now, no favorites) and the news of him possibly leaving SuJu made it really hard for me. Prom15e to 13elive? I don't know.

If you have been reading my previous blogs, I'm sure you know SuJu was the reason I got into Kpop and I have said before if SuJu does break-up, I am going to quit Kpop. It's not certain yet but I'm just not as excited about any Kpop news like before.

I always listen to new song release but I have not listen to my favorite duo, Untouchable new single..I'm glad it got good review though! :D One of my favourite 2008 rookies, UKiss also come out with a new single which I have yet to listen..

It's so unfair to my other favorite that I'm going to quit Kpop. Especially towards Beast.. They were my favorite 2009 debut! beating my SM bias, f(x)! probably I should reconsider quiting SM and JYP! They are definitely the cause of my kpop depression.

Sun Mi leaving WG is such a sad news for me.. she's the only reason I like WG! It doesn't seem like Jay's coming back to 2PM too! SM definitely betrayed me badly, with DBSK and SuJu..I just can't Always Keep the Faith and Prom15e to 13elive!

Should I quit Kpop?

I wish 2009 just erased. Bring in 2007-2008! Best Kpop years!

Cafe Seoul Review

I just finished watching the movie! :D

It's a nice movie, I could watch it all over again just to see John Hoon! My only disappointment is that Kim Dong Wook had less screen time! *sigh When can he have bigger roles?

My biggest excitement is that John Hoon (Kim Jeong Hoon) and Kim Dong Wook are bothers!! My two favorite people are brothers? *Screams!

I want to be the spoiler giver today so if you don't like spoilers, stop reading.. It's a nice movie, watch it! If not to you, you still can see John Hoon all day!

Spoiler

A Japanese freelance writer (Jun) was in Seoul to search ideas to write a Korean shop review, he stumble upon an olden street corner with a traditional cafe call Morandang. It used to be a family business but it was only run by one person name Sang Woo.

The shop was empty with Jun the only customer until an old woman, a loyal customer comes in. Fortunately for Jun, the old woman could speak Japanese because her late husband was Japanese. She had a chat with Jun telling stories of the shops..Jun realize the story is similar to his story and decided to choose the shop to write an article.

At first Sang Woo was hesistant but he give in after saw Jun sincerity. It look like all good things are going to happen until Mafias enter the shop asking Sang Woo to sign letters to give the shop to them because the area is up for development. Sang Woo refuse and fights with them because of their comments towards his father legacy.

The argument cause Sang Woo to have his hand injured so the shop couldn't be operated. Sang Hyuk, Sang Woo's brother was spotted in the hospital. The old woman asked him to replace Sang Woo but he refuse.

Sang Hyuk left home to pursue his dream but sudden hearing loss made his life miserable. After an advise by his old friend, Sang Hyuk realize that he wants to learn more about his childhood memory. With the help of Jun under Sang Woo guidance, Sang Hyuk worked hard to perfected his skills.

When the shops reopened, the shop face another trials with having court orders to change the shop name (Morandang). Furious with the court order, Sang Hyuk visit the shop that shared the same name. There was his brother, Sang Jin whom returned from Europe and operates the Cafe.

Sang Jin had big dreams to expand his business but Sang Hyuk had a different thought about their family business. Coincidentally, the same Mafia also co-owns Sang Jin's Cafe ask the brothers to have a challenge.

On the day of challenge, Sang Jin presented high quality desserts while Sang Hyuk challenge with the traditional desserts. Sang Hyuk won because his last dessert was nostalgic that made the Mafia's boss teared. The shop was full of memories of the place so he gave in to Sang Hyuk. Sang Jin realize he lost and smiled with his brother achievements.

THE END.


Simple movie, but still interesting.. Actually from my spoilers you wouldn't know that the story is actually revolves around Jun and Sang Hyuk. Jun had his own story that is also interesting, you can watch it yourself but I did give a lot of spoilers!
