Shinee World

Monday, August 25, 2008 ( 8:58 PM )

The popular SHINEE boys who have been receiving much love from their nunas while serenading them with their debut single "Nuna is so pretty", have just released their new album "Shinee World" on 23rd Aug 2008. Having just won Rookies of the Year Award from Mnet's 20 Choice Award 2008 was a confirmation of their popularity currently in Korea.

Their new single "Love like oxygen" is a direct rip-off from Europen artist Martin Hedegaard's popular single (Show the World). It is apparent that SBS Entertainment wants them to succeed so badly that they are provided with a fail-proof single. The beginning eerily sounded like what Michael Jackson would sing. With a new album, comes a new a image. Their new image has toned down from attention seeking pastel coloured streetwear to subtle mature (basic colours: BLACK, WHITE, GREY) smart casual wear. Lol. Flapping the tails of their coats is interesting, like what a proud peacock would do.

I Heart Big Bang

Tuesday, August 19, 2008 ( 2:48 AM )

I love Big Bang, but i dunno about you. So I shall try to spread the love i have for this boy band. I like G-Dragon for his wit & talent, being the one who has composed many songs and lyrics for the band's albums. I like Top because he looks dangerously handsome, my favourite eye candy. I like Tae Yang because he has very good vocals and very good dance moves amongst all the members in Big Bang. Sorry abt the remaining two members, they are like extra backup singers and dancers to me.

Big Bang Classic: LIES

My Girl: Features Tae Yang as the lead singer and main lead who gave his 1st kiss to the model in this mv..

Check out G-Dragon terrible half mohawk.

Anyway, this is irrelevant, but I love the shoes that Big Bang wears!! It's the hottest fad in Korea now.

Bada

Bada, the ahjumma revamps her image for the better. She recently posted pictures of her bridal gowns photospread in her mini hompy. I must say she looksdrop dead gorgeous. In the past, I wouldn't even take a double take at her ahjumma pictures. It doesn't do me any justice to take a double look at a once popular member of the S.E.S. trio (which was really popular back in the 90s) whose dress sense went from cool to really bad and became branded as the ahjumma celebrity.

Now, she looks elegant, radiant, sexy, cute and you can definitely use any other adjectives that do not hint at her old ahjumma dress sense to describe her bridal gown look. Omo, ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan. Wassup gurl~ Anyway, it was a refreshing sight for my eyes. She most probably had enough with the netizens' criticism of her and proved to all that she still has the looks and body to boot in this bridal photo shoot.

What a stunning headdress. Ravishing.

Where's my groom?

I love this huge button ornament on her head.
Bada's sideview is stunning!

Saranghae yo!

Cute Pumpkin dress!

Omo!! Cuteness enveloped this picture.

Stand UP!

Thursday, August 14, 2008 ( 9:57 AM )

Big Bang is back with a "bang". Their 3rd album "Stand Up" features 6 tracks, with G-Dragon experimenting a horrible half shaven mohawk and heavily eye-lined eyes. I personally felt that the third album wasn't as "ZAI" as the previous two albums which spawned popular hits like "Lies", "Always", "Last Goodbye" etc. The last song on the album "Oh My Friend" was an experimental rock-er song, which didn't appeal to me at all. Totally different from the usual R&B, Hip Hop genre.

Check out Haru Haru MV, which tells the tale of a terminally ill girl (Park Min Young) who decides not to tell her beloved G-Dragon about her illness and enlists TOP's help to make G-Dragon leave her. I dare say TOP looks good with his dark rimmed eyeliner, whereas it doesn't make G-Dragon look outstanding (looked more like dark eye rings), despite his attempt to get a more masculine image.

Haru Haru

Oh My Friend MV sees the individual big bang-ers having different occupations. Dae Sung, the boxer who gets a lucky break who manages to punch his opponent down, Seung Ri, the street mimer who also blows balloons for random people, Tae Yang, a factory technician who looks really good in his overalls, TOP, the handsome traffic police and G-Dragon, a crazed mental patient who drove away in the hospital's vehicle.

Wait a minute, who is this? Izzit Korean Boyband SS501's Kim Hyun Joong (Hwang Bo's younger husband in "We Got Married") or the Japanese Drama hearthrob Yamashita Tomohisa (Yamapi)? I got a shock when I compared these two male celebrities' pictures. Make a guess, who is who.
