I guess I just never honestly liked myself.
I want to disappear.

random videos.
Gummy Manwon Happiness (Epik High cut | SS501 cut) -- Epik High is so hilarious; I nearly choked, LOL. Tukutz and Tablo kept doing that wave thing, so ROFL. Her mission was to make them say, "Why is she laughing?", so she laughed, and Mithra immediately said, "crazy person!" LMAOO. The whole 1 minute+ video made me laugh sooo much, lol. (Brian appeared at the end too, by the way xP.) She also did a mission with Kyujong and Hyunjoong; Kyujong was quick to catch the hint and Hyunjoong was being his 4D-leader self xD.
080913 Mnet Japan- SS501 Japan Concert Backstage (1 2) -- I don't know why in the beginning Hyungjoon was the only one walking in and out of the rooms, but he's so, so adorable :DD. Kyujong, Hyunjoong and Hyungjoon looked hot in the white wifebeaters xD. Love those three's hair. Their Japanese isn't that good yet xP. Kyujong seemed really happy to receive that gift from the fan ^^. Hyunjoong was reading the letter the fan wrote and Kyujong asked him to stop; so considerate :). Hyunjoong really likes picking on Hyungjoon, haha (doubleHJ!). The "shake shake~" thing the two did cracked me up, hahaha.
080404 Kpop Zone Interview with SS501 (1 2) -- There was an interview first, regarding their Deja Vu comeback. Then there was some questions thing. Hyunjoong asked Hyungjoon whether he thinks he's the most handsome member, to which Hyungjoon replied, "Of course." Leader then purposely went to interview the other members, who stated that the other members are more handsome, making Baby look bad xP. But Hyungjoon explained that it's because he cut his hair, and went on to thank the stylists, LOL. I think Hyunjoong is the most good-looking (the best-looking Korean, imo), but Hyungjoon is really good-looking too ^^. SS501 is so interesting to watch, haha. The members bully Hyungjoon so much, poor him xP. His laughter makes me laugh somehow. Guh, he's just so hyper and child-like, always making me laugh ♥♥♥.

SS501 performances.
Both are in HD, so just click on the videos xD.
090130 @ SBS 2009 Visit Korea Incheon Special Show Icon
Performing U R Man Remix and The One. Both were lipsynched; I don't know why they always lipsynch when they aren't performing on music shows, but I don't actually mind, since I know they sing LIVE well =]. They looked great, as always, and I've even gotten used to Hyungjoon's slightly weird hairstyle xP. Was he waving to the fans at 1:30? He's adorable xP. They haven't performed The One in ages; miss that song! Youngsaeng was so cute at 3:36. LOVE all their smiles, they're lifting up myextremely sucky mood xD. Hyungjoon's smile is blinding me xDD!
090130 Because I'm Stupid @ Music Bank
Love the stage! And the boys' uniforms! Kyujong's vocals have really improved; I'm proud of him :). And he's actually the most expressive in this performance :)). There were one or two awkward notes, but still, great performance ^^. I think Hyungjoon wasn't used to the standing mic, for he looked like he didn't know what to do (awkward) when he wasn't singing xP.

WGM ep 41 - Hwanyobi cut (part 1 2)
1. HD, whoots xD.
2. They got the mission to sing a duet at a concert; so that's what it was! I watched the performance (fancam) before and it was beautiful :)).
3. The practice was SO CUTE! They started choosing songs, which frankly they would have all done well in 'cos their voices really complement each other's. Then they had to practice singing while looking at each other, but they just cracked up, so they wore cow and panda masks LMAO.
4. They were still cracking up during the rehearsals, haha. I think Hwanhee had a harder time trying not to laugh xP. Love how both of them looked; Hwayobi is pretty :). And love how they were wearing matching clothes on D-2 ^^.
5. Hwanhee had another mission: to surprise Yobi. Ahh, so that's why he visited her at her concert, even when they were both having concerts separately on the same day. This is the moment of revelation, LOL xP. (Hwanhee sent her a wreath to congratulate her also.) Suddenly Wedding March was playing and Yobi looked so lost, but Hwanhee appeared, still in his concert attire, saying "Gaettong ah~!". He totally succeded in his mission; Yobi almost cried xD. He rushed down after his own concert ^^. Loved how the fans were chanting, "Sing!", then Yobi explained that he had another concert the next day; so wifey-like xDDD. They also hugged, under the urging of the fans ^^. After he left Yobi still looked jittery and said, "What do I do, I can't sing" with a big smile hahaha; so adorable!
6. The next day it was Yobi's turn to send him a wreath, using the same phrase Hwanhee used, haha. She came before the concert too, and I SEE BRIAN :D! (Oops pardon my bias xP.) Anyway xP. Love how the couple was interacting ^^. Hwanhee made me LMAO-ed when he imitated Yobi; OMG HILARIOUS! I had to replay it a few times xP. They both looked gorgeous, by the way =D.
7. I love how during the interview both said that they would do well on stage; it shows how much they respect each other as artists :).
8. Like I said, the performance was great :)). Love the fans' cheers when Yobi appeared! And they didn't have any problem looking at each other while singing =].
9. Yobi had been asking Hwanhee how he was going to introduce her in the concert, and he finally introduced her as "my Gaettongie" xD. (I watched the longer version of the talk; it's in that post I linked above^.)
I think they were preparing their concerts, that's why they didn't have much time to film this xP.
EDIT: Hwanyobi and Marco/Dambi will be replaced by the the new couples, which include the couples with Junjin, Kim Shin Young and Taeyeon. Just great.

YSMM episode 214 with FTTS (part 1/7)
1. Kim Yoon Jin (an actress who acted in Lost) said HoDong is scary, lol! (We all know he just looks big, but really is a nice guy, though ^^.) She was born in '73, man she looks way younger than that o.0.
2. When introducing HyunYoung (that girl with a really high-pitched voice who appeared often in Heroine 6), HoDong was like, "At first I was thinking, 'How did she get the courage to sing?'" HAHA! I heard Brian's laughter, lol xP. She's funny on shows xD.
3. They got HyunYoung to sing a bit of her song, and Brian imitated her, almost killing me 'cos I was so out of breath from laughing, LOLOL. HoDong asked Hwanhee to do imitate her also, but he did an R&B version, as expected from the R&B prince ^^.
4. BRIAN! IS HILARIOUS. I can't say this enough, so I'll just say it once, here. He is so, so entertaining to watch. I love him ♥!
5. This was some time before their 7th album, so Hwanhee just had his plastic surgery. They talked about it in the show, and I like how frank he was. (I wish all celebrities can be as honest; it's not as if all the fans would leave them -.-".)
6. Love Brian's reactions! Hwanhee was starting to tell his story, how he "slightly cheated on his girlfriend", and Brian went "omo, omo, omo!" OMG that was so girly, somehow xDDD. And he went "eeeeeeew~!" when Hwanhee was talking how his ex-girlfriend kissed him after she vomitted after drinking, which was an appropriate response xP. And there are a lot of others too, which I shouldn't say, lest this become a Brian post xPPP.
7. Hwanhee talked about how Brian imitated him too much during the promotion period of Like A Man, that he seriously asked Brian to stop ('cos people were starting to laugh at him whenever he sang the song xP). But Brian said people like Kang Ho Dong would ask him to do it every time he's on those shows, so he still did it. And like I hoped, Kim Yoon Jin asked him to do it! Hwanhee sang first, sounding great as usual =]. Brian went to imitate, but failed 'cos he couldn't do it somehow xPP.
8. They were talking about money and the topic of splitting the earnings came; Brian said that in the end it didn't amount to much and that they didn't make a lot of money, and Hwanhee said that when he saw DBSK and Suju, he felt better. ROFL!
9. LOL at HoDong laughing when Brian said "personality?" when asked what he is most confident of! He laughed and said, "That's absurd!". I don't see anything wrong with his answer since I think he's got a good personality, but I want to know what HoDong meant xDD. (He changed it to "exercise", though ^^.)
10. Kang Soo Jung (the female MC) asked Brian and Kim Yoon Jin to badmouth someone in English and the rest to guess who they were talking about; they started talking about HoDong and suddenly Brian went, "...he's FAT!", at which point they stopped talking 'cos Yoon Jin said he was saying too much LOLOL. HoDong was oblivious towards it though, saying that the word "pig" didn't came out xPP. He didn't mean it in a bad way, though, 'cos after that he said, "Saranghaeyo" to him xP. And both of their English are flawless!
11. SooJung asked if there are any people badmouthing FTTS members behind their backs, and Hwanhee said, "Some people think that Brian likes guys, and what's worse is that they think he's dating me." HAHAHAHA! Then he talked about the kiss scenes they both have in Like A Man and how some netizen photoshopped it to look like they were kissing. I have seen that gif a lot, especially in livejournals for pairings, and the person is A TRUE PRO! It has been circulating in the net for a long time, actually, and a lot of fangirls (not only of them) have it in their computers. I don't, though xDD.
The whole show is interesting to watch, because of the insights given by the celebs. It's funny too ^^.
------------------------------------------------------------------
YSMM 090126 - Hyunjoong cuts (part 1 2)
1. Loved how HoDong jumped and hugged Hyunjoong, lmao!
2. Hyunjoong talked about how he worked hard to earn money, even since he was really young. He co-owns a chicken restaurant now ^^.
3. Hyunjoong's smile is gorgeous *____*.
4. He recalled how he left home when he was 15 and almost died three times; he really went through a lot.
I'm looking forward to next week's episode ^^!

FTTS' new song - 가버려 너 (Just Go, You)
Click here to listen! It's a beautiful ballad, in which both members get to showcase their vocals. Somehow Brian's voice is really nice in this ^^. Guh, it's so nice to hear them singing together again :'). I'm sounding as if they released their last album like 5 years ago, when they just released it in April last year, had one/two months of promotion period and a concert just last month, too, lol. But I just love hearing them singing together, WHAT xD.
Their new (8th) album is gonna be out on 13th Feb. I'm sooo excited :D!
I'm going to cry (not literally, haha xP) while deleting some songs from my iPod, when all those awesome albums (FTTS, Hyesung, FTI, etc) come out. But for now, let's just enjoy the ride :D.

Wonbin leaves F.T Island
A few days ago there was a rumour that he might be leaving the band, but after some time there was no confirmation or anything, so we all thought that it was just a rumour made up by antifans. But yesterday the company confirmed it, saying that it's because Wonbin has differing music views with the group.
My first reactions: o_______0 --> O___O!!!!!! --> T_______T. I was just listening to Haengbokhamnida an hour ago and was still thinking that Wonbin's harmonica parts go well with the song. And I tend to rap along with him during the raps. Now I can't do that anymore? It's just after their 600th day too =(((.
In some cases, I may like someone just because he's in a group that I like (and if he's not in it anymore I would probably be shocked but get over it in half an hour), or in less frequent cases, like a group because of all the members together (and if any member were to be replaced I'd immediately not like the group). In most cases, though (like in FTI's case), I like a group's music first, then all the members, then I like that group because of its music AND its members, without whom the music wouldn't be the same.
I just got into F.T Island a month ago and even though I've been fangirling over a lot of groups I never encountered any member leaving (Suju doesn't count 'cos Suju will still exist as a 13-member boyband), so I was really shocked when I heard about this. The rumours are actually true T__T. (Wonbin's name is already under "former members" everywhere, even on Wiki -.-.) There's gonna be a replacement (new member: Song Seung Hyun) and the band is still going to release a new mini album next month. But it's never gonna be the same; the other voice singing/rapping won't be Wonbin's anymore. That music I fell in love with isn't gonna be the same.
Was reading their Soompi thread (it jumped 20 pages after the news); everyone's expressing their shock, disappointment and sadness, which I can sympathise with since I still don't know how I feel about this =X. The company stated the reason for his leaving as "differing music views", which made me wonder what kind of music Wonbin actually wants to do. There are some people talking about how he may dislike the fact that the band is going in the boyband/idol direction, which may actually be true. But even if it is, I don't mind, actually, as long as their music continues to rock (meaning: is still good, and has some rock songs, as usual). The rumour about Wonbin leaving because he was bullied by Jonghun, Jaejin and Minhwan is ridiculous, really, but I guess there's no way we'd know for sure. But since this is my blog, I have the right to say that that rumour is bullshit. Period.
Some people were also saying that Wonbin has been looking unhappy recently, and even when they were dancing in their concert, he didn't smile at all. He must have considered this matter long and hard, for it isn't an easy decision to make. A while back Jaejin, Hongki and Jonghun appeared in a show together. At that time I didn't find it odd that Wonbin didn't come, considering that he shouldn't have anything else to do (since Minhwan was filming his drama). But maybe even at that time it was decided already? The announcement for the new member was made so quickly after it's confirmed that Wonbin's leaving too, so it must have been decided quite some time ago, but they only announced it now. I wonder what he'll do in the future; be a solo singer? Whatever it is, all the best, Wonbin ♥!
I hope the other 4 members will get through this; I hope they aren't too greatly affected by Wonbin's leaving, for it's impossible that they aren't greatly affected. Suddenly I'm reminded of Hongki crying during the concert when singing Please Don't Love; why is it that the lyrics seem to be appropriate in this situation ;__;.Did he cry because of this? (And when Hongki got his fortunes told in How to be A Good Daddy, he was told to "let someone go". Whoa, that's freaky o.O.) Whatever it is, I hope that the new member will do his best. He has quite a lot to catch up with, considering that the band already released 3 albums (2 Korean, 1 Japanese), 2 mini albums (well.. sort of) and 1 Japanese single. I think they all knew each other before debut (since they're under the same company they had been training together), so hopefully it won't be awkward and they'll be able to perform well as usual, as a team :). F.T Island hwaiting ♥!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for their mini album; hopefully it'll be goodor I might just leave the fandom (which very honestly, I would really have done if Hongki was the one who left, for his voice is one of the main reasons I love the band). But I have faith :). I will try, and hopefully grow, to like the new member. But then again, I think that is probably not a difficult thing to do, me being me xP. He's another 92-er (August, so still older than Minhwan), though, which kinda sucks xP.

New music discovery: V.O.S
V.O.S stands for Voice of Soul. Ironically enough, even before I knew that, I listened to Beautiful Life (below) and a few of their other songs, and when I was thinking of what their group name represents, I thought of the exact same thing. So yeah, naturally, they have good voices and sing very well :).
Beautiful Life MV
This song is so happy and relaxing ^^. I tried listening to it because Minwoo wrote its lyrics (which are translated at that MV link), and ended up liking the song. The lyrics are well-written as well :). I've watched a few LIVE performances of this song (1 2 3) and found that they sing LIVE well too! I love how they sang with a choir in the first link, haha. The small dance steps are cute, by the way :D.
So from that one song I went to find more of their songs and albums. I have only listened to a few songs, but so far I'm really liking what I hear. They can harmonize very well :).
Another song that stood out: 매일 매일 (Everyday, Everyday).
^Yes, that's a LIVE performance instead of the MV, because they sing LIVE really well :D. But you can watch the MV anyway; the colours used in it are nice =]. And here are more performances (1 2 3), just because I love the song xD. I love the harmonizations in this song, and how effortless they make it seem, pulling off those awesome adlibs.
I've heard of the group since quite some time ago, actually, but I put off trying their songs out 'cos as much as I love ballads, I don't fancy an album full of ballads only. But apparently their music isn't just ballads, haha xP. Their 3rd album is really good! I still have 2 more albums to listen to; how great xD. I need to learn to differentiate their voices too.
On the side note: Doesn't Hyunjoon look a tad like Jaejin from F.T Island? He looks cute xP. And somehow Kyungrok reminds me of Jungmin from SS501; I think it's the lips. Ohwells. If you know me, then you'd know that if I like a group's music, I'd like that group, the members, and their looks as well, by default. That's just me, haha xDD.
This is totally random: How come so many Koreans have similar-sounding names? I already know one Hyunjoong, two Hyungjoon-s, one Hyunjoon. Not to mention one Jonghun and one Jonghyun, plus three Kibum-s and one Kimbum -.-".

David Cook - Permanent
Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you I won't go away today
Will you think that you're all alone
When no one`s there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary rest your head
I'm permanent
I know he's living in hell every single day
And so I ask oh god is there some way for me to take his place
And when they say it's all touch and go i wish I could make it go away
But still you say
Will you think that you`re all alone when no one's there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head
I'm permanent
I'm permanent
Is the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry

David Cook's album is good :). At the first listen the song Light On caught my attention first, even though I didn't know that it is the first single off the album. Then as I listened to the album more, I grew to love Permanent a lot - it's melody, arrangement, the emotions in David's voice. Then I read that this song is for his brother, who has brain cancer. And that when he recorded this song, everyone in the studio was crying. Well, no wonder. It's a really good song, anyway =].
Aren't you surprised that this post isn't about SS501? xP
BOF episode 1-4 picspam.
WARNING: If you haven't read the title already, it's a picspam, so apologies if I killed your bandwidth. And there may be some spazzing ahead, too xP.
1. Jun Pyo -- This is the first time I actually like this character, haha! However, I wonder if I like him because he's different from the other Domyoujis. He does look intimidating and arrogant, and I get that he's got a hardened personality, but he was never mean/violent enough; the storyline never gave me much reason to hate him, to think that he's an asshole. In fact, sometimes I think if it's not because of his curls, I would have forgotten that he's Domyouji =X.
Being a retard -- What I mean is when he smiles like a big kid in delusion of JanDi being madly in love with him xD. And other retarded scenes, which actually make him likeable ^^.
Lee Min Ho's great acting
^When he saw JanDi after her transformation, and JiHoo asked her to dance.
^When JanDi grabbed him when she was drunk.
^When he saw JanDi's photos with that guy on the bed.
Looking hot xP
2. JunPyo/JanDi moments -- It's all thanks to Lee Min Ho that I'm liking this couple so early in the series xD.
^JunPyo fell into the pool and as he can't swim, JanDi went to save him and seeing that he wasn't waking up, administered CPR on him. But apparently he was doing it on purpose, and when he opened his eyes he pulled JanDi towards him (wanting to kiss her), which rightfully earned him a punch xDD.
^JunPyo wiping JanDi's nose when she was bleeding after getting hit by a ball. Can you see the concern on his face?
^JunPyo whisking JanDi away when she was caught in an awkward situation after witnessing JiHoo and SeoHyun's kiss.
^JunPyo telling JanDi that they should date, which she didn't catch. haha.
^The date, where he was sick and she took out some ancient-looking cloth to wrap him up ^^.
3. Ji Hoo -- I wish people would cut some slack on Hyunjoong. I'm objective and I know that his acting in the first 2/3 episodes wasn't that wonderful, but he's trying hard to improve, and he's been getting better. Rui isn't an easy role to act out, and while Shun (♥) definitely did a more than splendid job in it, why not give Hyunjoong time? Comparing him, a newbie in acting, to Shun, who already had a few acting gigs, isn't very fair. I hope he'll improve as the series goes on. Hyunjoong hwaiting :)!
^Looking at the comparison, I do think that he pulls off that blank/detached look of Rui well :).
Being amused by JanDi -- I like his little reactions in the background and such, when JanDi does something that amuses him ^^.
Just looking gorgeous -- WHAT xDDD.
3. JiHoo/JanDi -- I like how he's nice towards her, without being overly concerned. But I don't know, somehow I don't really feel that JanDi likes JiHoo that much =X. Anyway, there are other scenes of them which I like, but I can't find the pictures xP.
^One of the first few scenes of theirs, where JiHoo nonchalantly wiped JanDi's shirt after she got bullied.
^That look! *__*
^JiHoo was dancing stiffly, thinking that JanDi was stepping on his feet the whole time (lol), while JanDi was in heaven xP.
^This scene was very well done, imo. JiHoo hurt his fingers when the string of his violin snapped, and JanDi wrapped his finger with his handkerchief (which he lent her, in the first gif).
^The airport scene, where he thanked her for bringing him to his senses. It was very well done as well. He kissed her on her forehead, which made me swoon xPP. And look at JunPyo's face in the background! xDDD
4. EeJung -- KimBum is really, REALLY cute. His smile is kinda innocent, considering that he's supposed to be a playboy, but I think that smile would totally work on the ladies, so that's fine with me xDD. I'm hoping that EeJung will have some story of his own (with GaEul!), 'cos I'd want to see the great acting skills that all netizens who have watched him in East of Eden have been talking about ^^.
5. F4
^F4 goofing around xD. Hyunjoong's smile is so pretty xP.
^EeJung and WooBin look the most like good friends, for now ^^.
^LOLLIPOPS HAHAHA! What gave JunPyo the idea that walking around with a lollipop in his mouth was cool? xPP
6. Misc caps
^JanDi's family. The little brother is pretty cute xD.
^Seo Hyun (Han Chae Young). She's so pretty! *sigh*
And just because I'm biased..
^SS301 cameo! xD
7. Promo pics/behind-the-scenes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm still debating whether I should watch the 5th episode, since the subs for episode 6 isn't out yet. hmm.
