Merry Holidays

hey guys long time no blog. I wasn't exactly busy but in truth i wasn't very in the current when it came to kpop because of school work but im still as obsessed with it so this blog isn't completely dead. I was just dormant for a time being and actually right now im sick in bed and have nothing to do so i thought i should write something.

There's only just a couple days of Christmas so I hope you guys are enjoying the holidays and you guys's break and for those not celebrating Christmas Happy Holidays to yall. Its actually quite cold here in Florida but the 50 degree weather isnt something I should be complaining about because some of you guys are up north. Stay WARM you guys.

IM A BUSY BEE

ERMAGAWWWDDD! I started out that my second year of high school would be as easy as my freshmen year if not easier but that's not the case. While I do have 2 classes that use ipads and most of my classes need no notes except occasionally here and there I thought life would be easy and I can dedicate my time to the blog. In reality I have essays and extra credit to do all the time. Workbooks that need filling every week and band practice. My teachers are all going PROJECTS GALORE on us so we have been bombarded with project especially my spanish teacher. Its only been 2 months and she's already assigned 2 major projects. No, actually the first day of school she assigned us one. In my head I was going "THIS IS NO WAY IN HELL SPANISH HONORS! DOES THAT EVEN EXSIST IN THIS SCHOOL? I SIGNED UP FOR COLLEGE PREP" anyways yeah. And like any high school I have been fllowed by drama after drama so sorry if I get emotional on the blog. I will be updating yall a lot more on the kpop world and post any asiany stuff I find when I go to places. Hope you guys are doing good in school also :)

U-Kiss Stop Girl REVIEW

Oh my goodness I haven't done one of these in a while I feel. Anyways while surfing the net on my ipod in class today I finally decided to actually listen and watch U-kiss's new MV and I fucking love it! I have been singing "Stop Girl in the name of love" all day. Its just stuck in my head. Anyways I tried to put more pictures so please tell me you like them.

I seriously jumped up and screamed "their so good" i honestly think this is one of my new obsessions.

Sadly AJ was not able to part of this awesome song and music video. For me to say that I really like this song by U-kiss is saying a lot because I usually don't like listening to them but I still do. Their not one of those groups that I constantly check on like Infinite.

THE MV & STYLE

The MV was in my opinion absolutely perfect. The start when they show their faces emerging from the dark was a really a great touch for fan girls like me because my bias in U-Kiss is Kevin and Hoon. The touches of dance scenes was seriously fantastic.The colors and angles were perfect. I mean not many people take much care for angle but sometimes its just what makes everything look so incredibly good. Like a piece of a puzzle.

The colors were mainly black and white but i really like the color pop on them. Like the blue in Kevin's outfit, Soohyun's shirt, Eli's hair, Kiseop's hair. Why are men so good looking in tuxes? why cant american men do that? anyways the textures played a good role in this because like I said everything is a puzzle piece. The pattern on Kevin's pants and jacket just made the blue of his shirt so sexy and made his face even more flawless, Soohyun's leather jacker with the loops also accentuated his face and body.

Lighting was very well done and was paid attention to. Sometimes if your very fair and light is just shown onto you on a MV you belnd in the background so in the MV the light was different for all of them. And also some lighting angles just make you look better like people who are like "this side of my face looks better"

Makeup was very well done. especially Kevin's.

The one thing i didn't like was Dongho's hair it just felt like he belongs in a BIG BANG MV. It didn''t match the classy feel of the whole video and song. In know some of you might disagree but thats ok.

THE SONG & DANCE

The song was awesome. Just enough vocals and the bass on it was just amazing. It just filled up my headphones. Like any other U-kiss song this song has a really catchy tune to it and the lyrics were great and understandable. Its about a breakup.

Vocals matched and were very much harmonized. It flowed like a song thats sung by 6 individuals. I loved Hoon's, Kevin's, and Soohyun's vocals in this song and I like how they gave most of the english parts to Kevin because more that not I look at the lyrics of the songs and go "oh that was english. didn't know"

Rap itself was very well done by Eli and Dongho and flowed great with how the song went. I know sometimes there's random rap parts and it feels like it wasnt supposed to be there.

The dance was what sold me to the song completely because not many people can pull of the whole slow song dance thing. The moves are sharp, precise, and in sync. With songs that have a lot of bass the sharp movements just make the bass more pronounced. The other thing that sold me was on the the dance part on "stop girl in the name of love" and they do the smexy body wave thing and they were all soo good at it. But the dance video was amazing.

OVERALL REVIEW

This Mv and song was one of the best I've ever seen and it was just awesome. I think that U-kiss is slowly getting better and better with music and dancing. Kudos to the people who put everything together the stylists thank you for putting them in a sexy tux, makeup artist, director because the extra attention to detail really counts for music videos. Also kudos to the song writers because I now have a new song to be obsessed over. 

Over all great job to U-kiss because you won a loyal fan :)

We miss U AJ!!!!! hope studies are going well.

Thoughts on LeeTeuks enlistment

Right when I was starting to really like TeukSora they stop filming. GRRR! anyways I knew that this was gonna happen. I mean Teuki is already in his late 20's and if you look at it its not that long I mean Kangin's back and come on guys its not like were not gonna see him again. I hope he does his time in the army and comes back quickly. Im gonna miss him being in Strong Heart and I just really like him. I hope his injuries dont get in the way of him serving cuz i know he has major scoliosis. This is kind of a short thought post but good luck to him and as his fans lets send him off with a smile.

Kdramas I'm currently watching

Ok I know way too MIA and you can't blame me because I had so much to do in school. So I just wanted to update you guys on my new list of dramas that I am watching and currently in love with I promise that in my four day weekend next week that I will be blogging as much as I can.

1. Arang And and the Magistrate

Arang and the Mgistrate is about a ghost Arang who doesn't know at all how and why she died and seeks a Magistrates help. She apeared to about 3 maagistrates but all of them died of shock and fight that Arang wasnt able to get any help until Lee Eun-Oh comes in. He is naturally born with the talent of seeing ghost but wants nothing to do with them because he is too busy looking for his lost mother. Arang seeks his help but says no to her too until he sees her hair pin which he knows belongs to his mother. He asks her where she got it and she says that she woke up with it after death. And so Eun-Oh decides to help her regain her memory. She later becomes a human again to investigate her death  and the two start falling for each other.

Lee Jun Ki plays nobleman Lee Eun Oh and Shin Min Ah plays the ghost Arang. This is Jun Ki's first drama after returning from his mandatory enlisment in the army and its Min Ah's first historical drama ever.

2. To the beautiful you

To the Beautiful You is a korean remake of the japanese drama Hana Kimi. Its a very comdic drama and Its actually one of my favorite jdrama. You guys should watch it before watching the korean version.

The story is of a girl who idoizes this high jumper and really want him to just again buthis injury makes him have second thoughts and so she cuts her hair and crossdresses and tansfers to his all boys school to onvince him. Along the way the two fall in love.

Lee Min Ho of SHINee and Sulli of F(x) star in this drama

3.five fingers

I don't know if you guys know but i am very madly in love with classical music as much as i am in love with kpop. Although classical may not be everyone's cup of tea i like it. Ever since I started band last year I started to listen to more classical and drama's like five fingers says my name all over it. 

It is a drama all about music loving people and of course theres much more. I am only one episode into the drama so i have no clue much of whats happening. I know that there 2 half siblings that are equally talented in music. 

Theres already some scandal this drama is causing because I heard that Five Fingers suddenly dropped Eunjung and she's suing. Although i understand why shes doing it. I dont't know how everything plays out but  if you going to ask me I hope they find a better actress than Eunjung because she can't act. Im not an ati or anything but...well....she can't act.

4.panda and hedgehog

This drama has got to have the cutest name ever. I mean my nickname is actually Panda. Anyways our darling Donghae of SUJU is acting in here. I don't know how well he acts but judging from the first episode hes actually pretty good. I love the other guy. I swear i wanna just jump into the screen and kiss him because hes so fucking cute. 

The storyline is as cute as its name. 

5.faith

Yes....I know what your thinking. The GOD of HOTNESS is BACKKKKKK!!!! I love Lee Min Ho ever since I set my eyes on him. And hes back with the drama Faith. It is a historical drama and its very     doctor-y...if that makes sense. 

Happy Labor Day

Sorry guys that I've been MIA but I had so many thing going on that I had to put blogging aside for a while. Today is the only day that I am able to blog so I will be blogging as much as I can so I can deliver you guys some much needed reviews and updates on the kpop world.

-love,
      ANNE

Announcment!

Many schools where I live are now in school and today was actually their first day. Since I'm in a private school I actually started last week so today was the 2nd week of school. Now sayig that A and I will be getting bussier but I will be putting aside extra time in my busy schedule to blog for you guys and I have quite a lot reviews to work on for the next couple weeks so hope you gus like those.

Not over You - Nu'est Music Video Review

Nu'est's debut song, Face, showed a lot of promise and potential, which now has made them a standout group in a long line of rookies. Based on their past songs, synths and dubsteps are their signature, thus proving that their introduction as an "Urban Electro" group true. Sticking to that image, Not Over You is, lack of a better word (and terminology), synth-y. It's lighter and more mellow unlike their preceding songs which, in comparison, had a harsher sound. Lucky for me, it's missing their usual dubstep break, which I've come to expect whenever I listen to Nu'est, so I was a bit surprised when I heard Not Over You, but I think we can all agree it's a good song. Despite how good the song is, I'm a bit afraid as to whether Not Over You is going to be on of those songs that drag on, since there isn't much of a climax, but I suppose that's left up to the individual listener. Personally, I think it would have been a nice touch if one of the vocalists really belted out a high note or something of that character. 

As for the music video, Nu'est did a 180 degree image change. The grunge, the leather, and the metallic were replaced with color, casual t-shirts, and high-five giving PUPPIES! Did I forget to mention that there's actual trees in this music video! They are actually communing with nature. This music video was a real visual relief from all the dimly lit, bizarre, black and white rooms that I'm accustomed to watching. They were smiling and having fun! I have missed these kind of music videos ever since Super Junior's No Other. Though, I am sad to say that there is something wrong with this music video. Are we forgetting that this is a melancholy, break up song? The song is titled Not Over You, but judging by this music video  you wouldn't think so. Actually, you could go as far to say that these guys are completely over their ex unless.... it's all a coverup! A facade of sorts! Maybe their just acting happy, but really deep down inside they're just burying their depression. But seriously, if you do happen to read the lyrics, it really is sad, and without watching the music video, the song does have a tinge of longing. While I miss these happy-go-lucky, outdoor, videos, I believe that the music video should reflect the song. This, however, does not mean that Nu'est is a bad group. On the contrary, I put them high on my rookie list, right up there next to B.A.P. While they may not be my favorite, they are definitely ones to keep an eye on. 

Other Afterthoughts:
-Nu'est looks like they're living and breathing anime characters! Or is that just me?
-Why is Ren shaving?
-K-pop idols should wear casual clothes more often in their music videos.

Teen Top - Be Ma Girl REVIEW

Teen Top has recently released the MV for Be Ma Girl for their Special Summer Album.

I like Teen Top but their not really a group that I look for. And the song was kind of mehh for me. It wasn't as good as Supa Luv and Crazy which are my 2 favorite songs by them.

First of I like the dance it was very creative but I think for a song that's about asking a girl out and being her man suits a cute dance like Touch's Lets Walk Together.

The MV was good I guess. There was nothing that really striked me in general.

What I liked in this MV was the cool fun colors they used whether being in their outfits, hair, or props. SO kudos to their stylist. I loved the neons at the end when they turned on that cool light that makes your shirt glow and I love the different hair colors that they had.

Good Job to the rapper. You did good.

Again this song was mehh for me so not much thought on the matter

Rooftop Prince KDRAMA REVIEW

Hmmmm......Singer turned Actors aren't really my thing since there are a few singers that are just not cut out to be an actor or an actress and that's what really made me judge this drama since JYJ's Yoochun is the lead. But after some coaxing from myself and also complete and utter boredom I decided that I should try it out. Another reason why I kind of didn't want to watch this drama was because of it being very historical.

I'm not one to believe the hype on drama's because I am very stubborn and so even, I someone who is completely obsessed with Lee Min Ho still hasn't watched City Hunter....maybe it's because I like thinking of him as the leader of F4 , Goo Jun Pyo who was my first love in the kdrama world. But now I believe the hype because this drama was worth the 20 hours straight that I stayed up and watched this. And guys when I become obsessed I become a whole other me. I become an ultimate otaku,I refuse to come out of my room unless I have to use the toilet. And I get super dedicated.

Let's talk about the who's who.

Lee Gak / Yong Tae Yon - Park Yoochun

Lee Gak is the Crown Prince and one morning he sees that his precious crown princess is face down in the water. Little did he know that it was not his wife but his sister-in-law. He travels 300 years into the future with his 3 companions to solve the mystery of the murder. He then later pretends to be Yong Tae Yong to try to solve the murder and also later falls in love with Bak Ha

Yong Tae Yong is Lee Gak's reincarnation

Bak Ha / Bu-Yong -  Han Ji Min
Park Ha is the one who takes Lee Gak and his 3 friends into her rooftop house and tries to help them solve the murder but in the middle falls in love with the crown prince. When she was 9 her thought to be step sister put her in a back of a van and left her there. The van got into an accident where she was in an accident that made her loose her memories.

She's the reincarnation of Bu-Yong the crown prince's sister in law.

Hong Se Na / Hwa-Young - Jung Yoo Mi

She's a jelous grl who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. She is Bak Ha's step sister but is really her blood sister. She was thone that put her in the back of the van. She is the reincarnation of the crown prince's late wife.

Yong Tae Mu/ Moo Chang - Lee Tae Sung

He is Yong Tae Yong's cousing who is hungry for the company and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. he works like crazy and is in love with Se Na.


I don;t want to do a whole gigantic summery of the whole 20 episode so I'll put the sypnosis from wiki.

Tae-mu (Lee Tae-sung), after killing his lost cousin in the United States, returns to Korea, claiming that his cousin, Tae-yong (Park Yuchun), could not be found in New York City. Meanwhile, Tae-mu has been having a secret affair with Se-na (Jung Yoo-mi), who, in turn, runs into her long-lost stepsister Park-ha (Han Ji-min). Park-ha has been missing for a prolonged period of time and it is revealed that she was in the US after Se Na offered her for adoption.
Two years after Tae-yong's disappearance, four men dressed in Joseon era garments, fall onto Park-ha's rooftop house. Homeless and having nowhere to go, the four men decide to stick with Park-ha. Their leader claims that he is the Crown Prince of Joseon (Park Yuchun), along with his entourage Song Man-bo (Lee Min-ho), Woo Yong-sool (Jung Suk-won), and Do Chi-san (Choi Woo-shik). One day, Crown Prince Lee Gak sees Se-na who is the spitting image of his beloved wife, who was found drowned in the 18th century. He is convinced the two are reincarnations of each other. Meanwhile, company president Yeo (Ban Hyo-jung) mistakes Lee Gak for her grandson, Yong Tae Yong, because of their exact same appearance, and believes that her long lost grandson had finally returned. Lee Gak realizes that he has time traveled 300 years to 2012, Seoul, to search for the truth behind the mysterious death of the late Crown Princess. In order to approach Se-na, who is also President Yeo's personal assistant, Lee Gak pretends that he is Tae-yong. Tae-mu, believes that he killed his cousin in New York, feels threatened when he hears the news that Tae-yong has returned and started working in the company.
On the other hand, Park-ha is shocked, and somewhat saddened by the news that her new friend who calls himself the Crown Prince is, in fact, the grandson of CEO. But before long, she realises that she loves Lee Gak, and feels sad as prince Lee Gak approaches Se Na in order to solve the mystery of princess' death.


-------------------------------------

My thought are this is a superb drama. ts very finely paced and just everything flows with whatever's happening. The feelings were very much displayed by the actors perfectly and made it so believable. I cried a lot during his drama.

Kudos to Yoochun for continuing filming his loss at that time.

The soundtrack also had tht same feeling in the songs. It was that sad sng Hurt by Ali that made me so teary.






 

woohoo small korean haul!

아녕하세요! 

hey guys so I once again went shopping. I spent about $30 again but this time some things too pimp out my laptop. I go to a school that allows you to take your laptop to school for notes and such so I wanted to personalize my laptop so if it ever gets lost I can pinpoint which laotop is min and such. also I've been very keen in personalizing my laptop because I got a bit too tired of the plain old boring design. 

So first of my laptop is not fancy like those macbooks but I have a 3 1/2 year old HP  DV6000. While it being not fancy it still serves me its purpose (which is to blog) so Its ok. 

So what I ordered was a korean keyboard stickers that has both the korean and english alphabet on it and i found it and it was around $9. it was pretty hefty for stickers but nonetheless cute and functional. Since I now have a keyboard that has the korean alphabet I changed somehing on the settings of my computer that lets me type in korean. The hello at the top I typed with that new function that I have. The stickers itself is hard to take of the plastic film but that just means that it has good sticking power.

The next thing I bought was stationary stickers to pimp out my planner for the school year. I'm going to be ordering more soon, maybe in a couple weeks. But its super cute. I am someone who gets bored easily so I need to make sure things are interesting so adding stickers and using different colors make me want to look and pay attention to things. Having these stickers for my planner will make me look forward to actually useing my planner.Its travel stickers so it has super cute places around europe. and I absolutely love it. The reason I bought this is because I adore korean stationary. Its because its girly/cute and while being chic and simple. It again was around $9 and again hefty for a bunch of stickers (6 sheets) and the reason I went ahead and bought it was because it is imported and when buying things that has to be imported of course it will be expensive. The other reason I bought this was I felt rich and wanted to spend money :) the real retale price for it if I bought it in korea is 3,500 won which is $3.50.... and seriously did not know this when i bought it but the title of the set was "Anne's travel set europe" which made me laugh when i saw it cuz that's my name :)

Besides pimping out the keyboard of my computer, why not pimp out the front. The front of my computer is  the standard black so I wanted to add a hint of cuteness and so I bought a white Totoro decal. I bought it for $5 including shipping which is not bad. It came early and applied easily. It took me literaly 2 minutes to apply. It looked so cute I was staring at my laptop for a long time. 

Again by me saying I get board easily I wanted a cute pencil case so that I would actually put my pens and pencils in a bag instead of just dumping it in my backpack and then having to dig it out when i need it. I bought a Rilakkuma pencil case for $8 and its super cute. i adore rilakkuma and quite happy I found one for a reasonable price. I already have a cute pencil case that I got as a present from a good friend which is a totoro pencil case and I'm using that right now but it came with a hefty price of a $20. I went on a field trip to epcot just days after my birthday and my friend had me pick my birthday present which was the pencil case and a totoro plush and both were $20 so of course me who cherish things from other people I guard it with my life like when it gets smushed I get all paniked and put it back into its original shape. also the inside is leather so yeah i want to protect it with my life. I thought the rilakkuma one wont be as bad if i ruined it. so that's why I bought it. 

 

first off when i said my friend let me pick my present at epcot I did pick it with the price in mind and he was following me waiting for me to pick. when he saw that i really wanted the pencil case he had me give it to him so he could pay. i originally picked it up looked at the price then put it back down because it was $20 and me being a cheapo i put it back and he saw that and he took it and when he was about to pay he saw the plush and grabbed it and payed. Both were $20 if your asking. That friend is a close friend of mine and I'm not bragging in any way. I really appreciate what he gave me and cherish what he game me so just saying for those people who will say I'm bragging.  

This blog is not to brag but to show you guys what i bought and so you guys can see them if you haven't seen these before. and also link for those who want to buy the same thing as me. And I did buy these myself with my own money.

T-ara scandal THOUGHTS

 These are my thought on the very public battle between T-ara and former member HwaYoung. This is so big that the kpop world is in chaos right nor

Ok so first of all I'm not taking sides because most of the stuff that has been reported are just gossip and I am not one of the members or am i close to them to really know everything that's happening so i have no right to take sides.

So first of all Hwayoung is the maknae "the youngest/newest" in the grou so hierarchy is definitely in play. Because maknaes are supposed to be respectful and do thing for the sunbaes and in her case unnie's. So she might not have been respectful enough to her members and the staff. 

She was also added to T-ara in 2010 when they were already famous and T-ara's original members might have thought that she was riding on the fame the original members built from scratch. I mean what if you one of 

T-ara's orginal members and you worked your ass off to get the fame you have now and all of a sudden BAM! a new member appears and becomes famous instantly. Of course since the member's might have thought that she was riding on their fame the least the new member could do is try their hardest and HwaYoung refusing to perform minutes before going on stage is ridiculous thus making the other members mad that she didn't try hard enough.

Management also had a play in this. Their CEO has not given them a break since their debut in 2009. They are constantly overworked, flying from places, never getting sleep. And the CEO threatening them about being fired/kicked out.

So many other things like HwaYoung firing back at tweets and also her sister firing back at tweets. If the 2 didn't reply back there wouldn't have been such a big catastophe so I kind of blame HwaYoung for making this so public. If she knew that the tweets were meant for her then she could have just talked to them in person and tried to resolve their differences.

The fans also need to calm down. You guys (fans) have no idea whats going on beside looking at gossip on the net so stop and look at it as a member of T-ara. Put yourself in their shoes. These girls who are in a group that they didn't pick, they are overworked, no rest, , their constantly together, while being friends they are also rivals. Come one guys it was bound to happen. Some people you click with and some people you just can't work with its the same thing for them. So stop asking them to disband because that's stupid their just having an argument but the difference is its public. people have differences and these guys just need to talk it out and get some conclusions. You guys are not them and know not of all the truths or can you tell which one is made up or not. So wait T-ara to tell you the truth from their own mouths before making accusations on this matter.

Ever since becoming a kpop blogger I learned that I need to learn details before posting anything because i love you guys and I need to tell you the truths. I was one of those fans who would defend my favorite member without really knowing what happened. Like the accusations on Jay Park about leaving a comment on his myspace when it was actually a letter to a friend about concerns and stuff and his hardships and people took it wrong and I don't think it was actually translated correctly and he was demanded to leave 2PM and so he did. Look at now, they all want him back on 2PM and their sorry. Also the fact that it was a Personal Message made me wonder things... Fans are so obsessed with idols that they hack personal accounts. Now people hacking any kind of personal account is illegal. it's like taking people's mail. its invasion of privacy. Its the same with this and any scandal. look at the details before making accusations.

I love kpop and all its being but the fans who get too caught up and being "sesang" fans make kpop so corrupt. I mean you can cyber stalk them like I do by looking at kpop news and looking at their twitter but never would I go and stalk their houses and follow them nor would i punch them because I want them to remember me. That is outright ridiculousness. Heechul of SUJU closed his twitter account because of sesang fan and so did Yoochun of JYJ recently. Thanks a lot sesang fan I can't cyber stalk them anymore on twitter. 

Replay List #6

This Replay List seems long overdue. As you can probably tell, I'm starting to like B.A.P. more and more with every album, despite the fact that I'm not too crazy about their title track, No Mercy. Unexpectedly, I'm starting to like Demon by Jay Park thanks to Pandora. It's unexpected of me because I rarely listen to Jay Park, but I like the vibe of his song. Aside from my B2st song overdose with their latest album,  I've been listening to a lot of mellow songs again ranging from BEG's R&B single, One Summer Night to Juniel's Stupid. Plus, IU! Lots of IU! My latest mission: try to listen to every single song by IU. So, what's your latest playlist? 

1. Dancing in the Rain - B.A.P
2. Voice Mail - B.A.P
3. Demon - Jay Park
4. One Summer Night - Brown Eyed Girls
5. Midnight Sun - B2st
6. Beautiful Night - B2st
7. Stupid feat. Yonghwa - Juniel
8. And a lot of random songs by IU

Running Man episode 104 --- REVIEW

Everyone all over the world are getting hyped up for the summer olympics and many korean shows are having olympic specials and one of my favorite shows Running Man did an olympic special for their 104th episode. This episode the Running Man teams up to go against the Idol Team.

The guests were iols:

Nickhun (2PM)

EunHyuk (SUJU)

Siwan (ZE:A)

Lee Joon (MBLAQ)

Doojoon (B2ST)

Eunjung (T-ara)

First of all i love the pics of the guests except Eunjung because throughout the game she relied on the others to survive and overall wasn't very fun.... Joon on the otherhand is a entertainer-doll and he made the show super funny. during the volleyball match he was showing off his flexibility but was unable to actually help the game. Idol team didn't mind much and actually thought it was funny. I would love to see him, Kwanghee, nad Key in Running Man because they would be so funny. Anyways he did help a bit by getting 2 people out in the last race. Eunhyuk was awesome overall and the "team leader" since he is the oldest. Siwan from ZE:A was awesome! he was a really good runner and it was nice for him to be a guest. Doojoon who is an avid soccer player was also very good in running during the relay race and very good during all the games. And lastly Nickhun who is the jack of all trades was very smart and he got quite a few of them and led the idol team to victory in which all of the idol members got real gold medals. 

The idol team had 7 members in which only one was a girl because it would only be fair because the Running Man members are all men except Song Ji Hyo. 

This episode is super funny because of again the funny idols and just in general this show is sure to bring you a lot of laughs. I especially loved this episode because of it being so funny.

Thank you to the subbing team that subbed the episode at kshownow.net because of their hard work I was able to watch this episode and many of my other favorite shows.

Thoughts on Nickhun's recent accident

Ok first of all I have seen many comments on allkpop about how nobody should be defending Nickhun because what he did was "EXTREMELY" wrong. Yes he did something wrong but was in not EXTREME and yes I do have the right to defend him. Yes he might look like God but he's not, he is a normal 24 year old that had 2 beers at a party.

The alcohol limit in Korea is .05% and Nickhun had only .056% .... WOW! a .006 difference why are people getting their panties in a bunch. Not trying to be rude but people are blowing this all out of proportion! It's also said by many foreigners that korea has some crazy driving skills. and we may never know if this guy Nichkhun hit was a bad driver. I mean it's possible. People on motorcycles get a little "cocky" and try to show off.

What really made me mad was when he got edited out of the "Idol Olympics" that was stupid.

Woohoo he's a big idol! yes but that does not mean he is fucking perfect and I hate it when fans bash them for stupid little scandals, dating, accidents. WHAT? idols can't fall in love. PEOPLE THEY HAVE LIVES LIKE YOU AND ME AND AS MUCH AS I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT THERE IS A SLIM CHANCE YOU'LL EVER DATE ANY OF THEM!

People need to calm down and look at the situation. He is human. He had .006 over the alcohol limit. He's 24 years old and that's when people make mistakes, it was night so it might have been hard to see.

So for me I am behind Nickhun and supporting him through this because I understand that we make mistakes and that's how we learn.

Just to tell you guys for me even as a fan I always support the idols. Yes dating news kind of hurts a little because this person is with a woman but for me I always think of it as "ahh...even with their hectic schedule they found a hint of happiness"

As for accidents like this people just need less hate and a little more love and understanding.

Proud of Pandora!

You guys don't know how proud I am of Pandora right now. When I started listening to K-Pop, I had no idea where to listen to K-Pop or look for K-Pop artists. All I had was Pandora, but even that was limited. Extremely limited. K-Pop to Pandora was just SNSD, Big Bang, 2ne1, Se7en, Super Junior, Shinee, SS501, and Boa. That's it. (Plus, the occasional American artist). Now, Pandora has updated itself. There are a plethora of various artists ranging from the rookie groups (I am listening to B1A4 as we speak!) to even the solo artists like Kim Hyung Joon . There are old songs and new songs; some songs I haven't even heard! Even the big groups like B2st and T-ARA were added! Consider your listening experience daebak!

BEAST '아름다운 밤이야' (Official Music Video)

 i can't even say how much i freaking love this. complete turn around from the previous mini  MV! What I absolutely love about B2ST songs are the great start of the song and in this case it was Gikwang that started and it was that really catchy chorus "bami yaiya"

Everything about it screams SUMMER. The bright clothing and the party scene and the catchy tune just fits perfectly together with everything.

The song was good from start till end and that takes skill because some songs get interesting at first then gets iffy towards the end but this one doesn't and the chorus was to die for. I CAN'T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT CUZ I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

Now to me B2ST gives off that bad boy vibe and I totally got it. Who says bad boys only wear black?
Hyun seong's hair i don't like...i just don't like it long like that. I liked it in Fiction and as for Jun Hyung's blue hair I fudging love it! it really matches his personality really well. Yeosob's funky outfits were so adorable and really hope he sticks with that style.

The Mv didn't really have a dance and it's a party song so seeing them on a stage just singing and jumping up and down was good to see and I don't really thing that the song is fit to have a dance cuz like a said its more of a party song.

The overall MV was really good and what I always look for is the quality of the video. It was very HD and I love the tone of coloring the editors used it really enhanced the different colors they were wearing and the scenes were cut perfectly and I saw that each member had the same amount of cuts. I really like the starting with Gikwang singing and there's a scene of him with his earphones in his ears and dancing in the street.I have to give thanks to the director for doing such a superb job on everything because this MV was just perfect.

I was actually planning this to be just a small review but I go overboard when I get exited so sorry but I really did immediently fall in love with this song and MV. B2ST WHAITING!

List of Favorite Rappers

K-Pop is not confined solely to just Pop; rather, K-Pop is what I call a colloquial term used to call, not describe, Korean Music. So, there is Korean Hip Hip, Techno, Rock, Indie etc. Thus, I would like to think that I'm a fan of Korean Hip Hop. Ironically, I am not a fan of American Hip Hop or rappers, but give me any Korean rapper any day. That does not mean to say that I'm biased; American and Korean Hip Hop have distinctive sounds; thus I'm drawn to the Korean sound. So, while I'm not an expert of this genre nor do I listen to Korean Hip Hop groups very often, but I do have a list of my favorite rappers, albeit,  mostly rappers from K-Pop groups. Hehehe

(These aren't in any specific order)

1. Epik High

I recently started listening to this group, I like their sound, and while I may not always agree or have an opinion about the themes in their music, I like the fact that their raps are creative and full of substance and meaning. 

2. Tablo

Is it any surprise that I like Tablo, after I just said I liked Epik High? I love Tablo, for the same reason why I like Epik High; the lyrics! Tablo writes amazing songs, favorites of mine include Tomorrow and Bad. Plus the sound is really unique and his raps aren't harsh...but his attitude and emotion are enough to express his songs perfectly.

3. Eunhyuk 

Yes, I know what you're thinking, she's just a biased fan girl. In this case, that's partly true, but I honestly do think that Eunhyuk is a good rapper, but I know that he's not the best. I am drawn to the sound of his rapping, and I love the way he raps because it always exudes charisma.

4. Mir

Rain taught him well, because I love Mir's stage presence and charisma when he raps.  He knows when to stress syllables at the right times bringing energy, swag, confidence, power, you name it. Whenever I listen to an MBLAQ song, I always anticipate Mir's raps.

5. Dongwoo

Dongwoo, by far, is one of my favorite rappers. While every rapper should comprise of good stage prescene, charimsa, etc, Dongwoo has all of that and more.  I love the uniqueness of his voice that I cannot describe.  Oh, did I forget to mention that he sings!? Well, he does, and that's kind of uncommon; a rapper that can rap and sing. 

6. Baro 

This cutie is also up there with Dongwoo. Don't be fooled by his cute/squirrely appearance, for his deep and powerful voice can pack a punch. His voice sounds rich and warm (like chocolate!), which always contrasts well in B1A4's songs, in a good way of course. It's this trait that minimizes and balances the other members sweet vocals, so they're songs aren't just straight out sugary pop. Plus, he composes some of his raps, himself, which is always a good thing in my book.

7. G-Dragon
This boy has been rapping since he was a toddler! Not only is he a good rapper, but his voice is just so unique. Like Dongwoo, I can't describe his voice because it's that unique, but even better, he writes and composes his own song, always adding his own flairs, thinking outside the box. Plus, I love rappers who can rap extremely fast. He is truly one of a kind.

8. T.O.P.

It's all about the voice, it's so deep! I love it! His rapping, is more rhythmic and more like talking compared to GD, but his voice is always an X-factor to look for in Big Bang songs. 

9. Yubin

Female rappers represent! I couldn't forget our female rappers. I love Yubin and her husky voice! She's a wonderful rapper (pun not intended) that adds either that sensual or swag factor to a song. 

10. CL

She's like the female-version of GD! Her rapping skills are amazing! It's no surprise that she made my list, because on several occasions she never ceases to amaze me with her strong stage presence, swag, and rapid fire raps! 

11. Zelo 

This dude has a lot of potential! I absolutely loved his part in Warrior! I loved his attitude, and if I had to pick the best rookie rapper of the year, Zelo would do it for me, and he's only fifteen! I look forward to what else he has to offer.

12. Amber

Amazing  vocals and epic raps with a lot of power. Nuff said. Her reputation precedes her; her raps are always powerful. Also, Amber is equal parts a good singer as she is a rapper. Sure, she's not a powerhouse like Luna, but her voice is clear and controlled, plus, I think, if given the chance, she might also have a wide range. While it's rare to find a rapper that also sings, but it is rarer still to find a rapper that is as good a rapper as he or she is a singer. 

These are just my personal opinions.
