The DBSK boys look awesomee. (more pictures) They performed well, singing Tonight, Purple Line (LIVE, but the video is not in-synch) and Rising Sun (lip-synch).

Junsu: (more)











It looks like he was wearing half a skirt, but it looks okay. =)

Micky: (more)











I'm not liking his hair; from the side and back it looks like a granny. -.- He's still cute, though. =)

Jaejoong: (more 1 2)











He MUST he knows where the cameras of his fanclubs are, and purposely pose for them. xDD

Changmin: (more)











Nice hair! ^^

Yunho: (more)

Aren't they cute? And Siwon is always 8DD

EPIK HIGH.



Epik High is made up of Tablo (leader!) and Mithra who rap, and DJ Tukutz who is obviously a DJ (and dances very well too). I'm not a fan of Hip-hop, but seriously, I can't NOT love Epik High. I don't give a shit for looks, really 90% of the time, so don't expect me to talk about hot guys all the time. xP

I actually knew Tablo from way back, but I only start really listening to Epik High after Anyband. I really love Tablo's rapping (remember the line "Music, she's my life, so I'm loving her through day and night"?) and his English too (he graduated from Stanford University with a degree in English Literature; his English is wayy better than mine! and it sounds hot xD), Mithra sounds good too, plus Tukutz' scratching parts go together with the songs nicely. They perform LIVE really well. =)

One of the things I love about Epik High - their lyrics. They don't rap about hot girls and such; their lyrics are deep and intense (I don't understand some of them =X). Some of them are controversial, even. The love songs are meaningful, not fairy-tale like, sappy or cheesy. Most of their MVs are hard to understand though. Oh and they did say that from the 4th album onwards, there is gonna be "no genre, just music". They have quite a few decent almost-instrumental or talking songs too. So no matter how much you hate Western Hip-hop (like I do), you just have to try them out, 'cos I say that you won't regret it!

I'll just list every songs that I rated 5 stars in each album (excluding talking tracks), but there may not be any link to listen to them online, so just tell me if you want them. =)

MICKY YOOCHUN.

Happy 22nd, Yoochun! =)

Yoochun was actually one of the first DBSK members that I knew, and to be honest, at that time I really wasn't taken by his looks. But now I realised that he's a very... attractive guy, to say the least. He even almost became one of my favourites ('cos Yunho has always been #1 xPP), but I stopped myself from liking him as I thought that he seemed like such a ladies' man. I really don't know about his relationships with females (even though there are some rumours), but his charms are real, girls. His smile is really really bright and friendly, and when he doesn't smile he looks appropriately manly (his Adam's apple 8D). I like his laugh too, especially when he's laughing at Junsu. (Yoosu!) xD

I don't dare to say anything about his personality, but I think he's the most emotional out of the members; it's not hard to find a clip of him crying in Youtube. Besides that, he's also a dork, it's cute. haha. And I like the fact that the answer for "What is your ideal girl?" is that he believes that the girl he loves will be his ideal girl. =)

I really respect his passion for music. He can abandon sleep to write songs; some of them are included in their album, and they sound good. I'm expecting more of his compositions in the future! Vocal-wise, he has the second lowest voice in DBSK. Compared to Yunho, he has a greater range. I used to say that by listening to Yoochun's part, one would be able to tell whether they were singing LIVE or not. This is not to say that he doesn't sing well, 'cos he does, just that at times he doesn't have that good of a control over his breathing. He's got a nice voice (uhm, like, low and sexy and greasy? xD), so he'll sound better if he improves on his breathing. I think he's getting better already, though. =)

Pictures!

To end off, one picture from my DBSK "ROFL" folder:

kinda random..

I decided to watch Dongwan's The Person I Love. Watched the first episode, and I'm interested how the story will unfold. I know the female lead, Han Eun Jung acted in Full House and came for one Love Letter episode with Shinhwa before, where she chose Dongwan. (lol what fate!) She's pretty. ^^ And Dongwan looks good as usual. But.. I read the synopsis (spoiler T.T), and I have a feeling that I'm gonna really really hate his role in this. =X In fact, I have a feeling that I'll dislike pretty much everyone in the drama. haha.













^click to enlarge. They're from the recent Shanghai concert. The boys all looked really good and Yunho is really killing me with his hair xP, but that's actually not the point. Look at the tags! They're so LOLOLOL. xD

I haven't posted Yunjae stuff in a while, but this is so dlsfdlgjh I just had to post it here.
















The picture is actually even bigger (that's why it looks blurred), so click for full size!

I think it's the lightings that makes Jaejoong looks so pretty. And him sticking out his tounge while smiling coughshylycough. And Yunho's black clothes and hair that makes him seem manly. Uhm. I think they just blew my brain off. xD

fandoms collide! =DD

The good thing of being in multiple fandoms at once -- you can spazz like mad when the fandoms meet, and abuse the tags!

Shinhwa/Kangta -- Junjin is Kangta's high school friend, Andy almost debuted as in H.O.T, and Hyesung got to know Kangta through Lee Ji Hoon (the three later formed Group S; a wonderful vocal group!). They are all pretty much good friends.

Kangta and Hyesung singing Polaris -- Two of my favourite singers singing one of my favourite Kangta's songs = love. xD

Dangyunhaji - Minwoo vs Kangta -- I actually watched this episode of Xman because of Kangta (I was and still AM a fan of Kangta, after all) . But after watching the whole episode, I got interested in Minwoo and hence Shinhwa. So basically all my fandoms are linked. xD Anyway, Kangta looked awesome (his hair and his smile and HIM *.*) and Minwoo was funny. Some stories about H.O.T and Shinhwa, since they were in the same company and Shinhwa was H.O.T's juniors. Lots of hilarious stuff: the constant praising/jeering each other, Minwoo's "I'm your fan!" and Kangta teaching Minwoo dancing (HAHAHA). Minwoo won in the end by commenting about how Kangta's hair never changed since the 1990s (what's wrong with it? I like it! xP).


Shinhwa/Fly to the Sky -- Really, anything which includes any interaction between the two groups makes me squeal. Like, I remember watching Explore M Showcase and my expression turned to ^___________^ when I saw Hwanhee, who was grinning broadly, sitting with Eric at the side. xD


































Junjin and Brian fooling around -- They were acting like they wanted to kiss each other, with Brian acting as the "girl" (he was acting so gheii lol!), but then Brian declined. haha. Brian looked sooo young and cute back then. (he's still cute now xD)

Minwoo vs Brian cute battle -- What can I say? Both of them were CUTE to the max. xDD

Dongwan on Manwon Happiness -- It was Dongwan vs Stephanie. In the beginning Stephanie met Battle, who is Shinhwa's junior, so naturally they were on Dongwan's side lol. I quite like Tae Hwa, anyway. He dances and sings well, and is cute. ^^ Then they showed Dongwan with Park Myung Soo and Kangin. In the middle, Dongwan got a mission and he saw Brian, who was using the phone. Brian initially said, "I'm talking to my girlfriend" and Dongwan replied, "I know you don't have a girlfriend." lol. Dongwan then wanted Brian to guess what he was doing, but Brian didn't have a clue and said, "Dongwan is a little crazy." haha. Then Brian went on to say how Dongwan was a very good sunbae; he treated Brian well when Brian just debuted. ^^


Shinhwa/Epik High -- Tablo and Minwoo are friends; they acted together in Nonstop Five and Tablo also rapped in two of Minwoo's songs, Let Me Love You and The M Style.

M+Epik High Special Stage -- Minwoo's The M Style first, then Epik High's Fan. Minwoo messed up a bit during Fan, but nonetheless it was a great great performance. =)


Shinhwa/DBSK -- DBSK respects Shinhwa a lot. Jaejoong said in the recent The Star Show that DBSK "felt their aura." lol.


















Yunho hugging Junjin -- This was in 2004, in some music award ceremony. Yunho was hugging Yoochun in the beginning (2U!), then the venue changed and it showed him walking to behind Shinhwa, then Yunho sorta put his arms at Junjin's waist, who turned around, smiled a little and played with Yunho's hands a bit. Then Andy and Junjin turned around and DBSK started bowing to them. They're so polite. And Shinhwa seem like such good sunbaes. And Yunho is like a cute little kid. xP

Yunho before Star Dance Battle fancam -- This is part of the infamous "18 bows" I talked about here. In the beginning you can see Yunho had his arms around a guy (I dunno who; probably a senior), and it's really so cute to see him behaving like that; it reminds me that he's actually still that innocent Yunho. (Now it sounds like I'm doing a Yunho post lol.) Then Minwoo came over and asked how he was feeling, I think, since Yunho motioned towards his head. And Minwoo sorta touched his forehead. haha. The rest of the video is just Yunho standing around looking bored and a little of Junsu's rehearsal too.


Fly to the Sky/DBSK -- In Line Up, when asked about an artist they are close with, Micky answered Fly to the Sky. And in The Star Show, Micky said about how Brian used to bring them to movies, etc. ^^

Brian imitating Junsu's singing
-- He sounded exactly like Junsu! 8D

Brian imitating Junsu's talking
-- Brian was going to release his solo album, and DBSK was encouraging him. Anyway he doesn't really sound like Junsu, but it's funny lol. And Junsu is reallyyyy cute here, you can just die. xD


Fly to the Sky/Epik High

Heroine 6 Tablo and Brian cut -- They were playing some game, I guess, and Hye Run was punishing the two of them by pulling their noses and breathing in their faces (lol). I feel sorry for Tablo 'cos he really looked like he was in pain, but it was cute when he pretended to puke into a plastic bag. There's no subs so I don't understand but in the middle Brian pouted his lips and pointed to it, like indicating someone to kiss it (I'm assuming one of the pretty girls there). But Hye Run just went and kiss him on the lips. ROFLx1000 that was so unexpected. Brian's reaction is priceless. xD At the end Tablo sang one line of Sexyback, and Hyun Young sang it too. But she sounded like she was singing "I'm going to sexy bar" so Brian and Tablo who are proficient in English literally kneelled down laughing. Then the two of them imitated her lol.

Tablo, Brian and Eru singing FTTS' Like a Man -- Tablo looked so nervous, he's cute. xD Brian was laughing at him, lol (BRIAN IS CUTE TOO! xP). I heard of like, one or two of Eru's songs before but now then I notice that he sounds so much like Hwanhee. Brian and Eru left Tablo to sing alone during the high notes. lol they're so mean. xDD I thought Tablo did okay, actually. ^^


DBSK/Suju -- They were trainees together, some of them have been friends for many years, and some of them almost debuted as a group together. Hence, they're very close. I love Hyuksu, Yunhae and Horella the most out of the pairings. ^^




























































Show Me Your Love performance -- So many people on one stage lol. Cute dance steps. =D

Eunhyuk talking about Junsu -- This is SO SWEET. Hyuksu rules, for real. =D

Yunho and Donghae in Love Letter -- Donghae's hair here is kinda funny haha. Donghae and Micky talked about how greedy Yunho is, lol. Then they played the sumo game and Yunho won.

DBSK phone call to Suju -- Jaejoong was acting as a 12 year-old, and his voice was so cute. The whole thing is so funny. Jaejoong said he doesn't like Yesung and Eunhyuk lol. And what's up with Kyuhyun asking him whether he knows what's NaCl? haha. There was the usual Hyuksu bickering, Changmin being cute, Yunho being sick (but he was ever polite), etc.

Yunho and Donghae playing around -- This was during the making of Red Sun. Donghae carried Yunho on his back and you can see Jaejoong at the back giving the death glare. xD

Suju winning an award -- It was cute when Suju's name was announced and 5 people immediately stood and clap at the back. DBSK looked so happy for Suju. ^^ A lot of tears, too. It was a touching moment for Suju.

Yunho goofing around -- I think Yunho was either bored or wanted to do a fan-service, since he went around hugging Eunhyuk and Donghae. xP

Yunho and Donghae interview before concert -- I remember watching this subbed before, but now I can't find it. T.T If I remember correctly, they were talking about how they finally got a chance to perform together on stage. Jaejoong was being a cam-whore too haha.

Yunho and Donghae performing Spokesman -- This song was composed by the two of them. It's rock and at first I was kinda surprised to hear Yunho singing this type of song. But I like it, and it's nice seeing them performing together. The whole crowd was high. =)


misc:
Special Stage Epik High and Younha -- You can never go wrong with Younha and Epik High! It's quite interesting to see how the Epik High guys integrated rap into Younha's Password 486, and Younha's voice fits right into Epik High's Love Love Love.


That's all for now. =)

Epik High (feat. 지선) - One



ONE!
Time is tickin’. T-Time is tickin’, tickin’.
Time is tickin’, T-Time is tickin’ away…

I want to see your tears pour out, pour out without reason
No one knows inside your heart, the glass fragments raging a storm
The wounds become a sickness, all doors become a wall
I’ve become an enemy in the mirror, doesn’t it hurt?

I'll keep anyone from knowing about you
I'll leave the breath to tighten out
I’ll force you to choose the end
(aren’t I bad?)
I’ll take away all reason in this world for you to to stand
Without the choice of the road back, I guess you’ll walk to the end
Your breath would probably end before my heart

*Wounds… Scars… Tears… Flowing
(when you cry. though you try. say goodbye. the time is tickin′)
You are wandering through death (I’ll save you…)
(When you cry. though you try)

[Chorus]
You are the one
When you’re walking in shadows
(When I’m panicking in the shadows, my breath does the same)
You are my savior
I’ll reach my hand out to you
(When all the doors in the world close for me, I’ll support you with my hand)
You are the one, you are my savior
My savior

Time is tickin′. T…


Your hand set the world on fire, you closed everyone’s eyes
The suffering that was reflected in your eyes like stars become your city
Are your still dreaming, sleeping?
Are you measuring all the tears you’ve shed?
Hope is a paper boat that sinks, isn’t it sad?

Maybe you wake up drenched in sweat at night
Is consciousness crawling on the floor?
Are you thinking it’s the end?
It's okay ’cause I understand
I’m a scar on your broken body
I’ll erase the tears you’ve hidden away in your shattered marriage
I’ll grab your hand with my hand and trust you

*

[Chorus]

Do you have wounds? Do you have scars?
Are you wandering through shadows?
(faith)
Do you have wounds?
(destiny)
Do you have scars?
(love)
You′re still beautiful to me

[Chorus]

Time is tickin′. T-Time is tickin′, tickin′.
Time is tickin′, T-Time is tickin′ away…

My savior.

ONE!

I think I'm doomed.

We Got Married ep 9 Hyunjoong and Hwangbo (1 2) -- Hwangbo is 6 years older than Hyunjoong, so I thought it'd be interesting to see how they would be when they are "married". This couple was kinda awkward at first 'cos Hyunjoong was being all formal. (he's really polite) He's straightforward and is kinda "off-line" (as in, clueless and weird in a funny way), so the whole episode is hilarious. Hwangbo was laughing all the way at his quirky comments. Seriously, I liked this couple a few minutes into the episode. I guess Hyunjoong is practical; he said he hates girls who say things like "Give me all the stars in the sky." LOL. He hates wearing couple clothes too, which is why he "modified" the ones Hwangbo brought for them to wear. Later they went fishing, but they didn't manage to catch any fish after 6 hours. o.0 I thought it was quite sweet how he said he wanted to catch at least a fish to impress her. Hwangbo is cool, by the way. (even though I disliked her for one day because of a certain Love Letter episode with Yunho and Micky)

We Got Married ep 10 Hyun Joong and Hwang Bo (1 2 3) -- Because they didn't catch any fish, they had dinner provided by the yacht. It was surprising that Hyunjoong wanted to do a loveshot. Then Hyunjoong went to prepare a BBQ for her, and the chat during dinner was funny. Next in their place, they were removing make-up and he looked.. pretty. xP He was distracted by the mosquitoes, though, and started whacking at them. Hwangbo joined in too, later, lol. It was hilarious how he said that he felt that he was "protecting my wife". LOL. Next they wrote promises to each other, and his letter was really sweet. But the "to become a groom who is like oxygen" part is super funny, especially when he said, "No, it's because I can't become nitrogen." ROFLMAO. xDD The next morning, he left to make instant noodles for breakfast and poor Hwangbo was left thinking that he ditched her. After breakfast they left for the beach, and he told her she was the first girl he went to the beach with, as he doesn't like the sea since "there are sharks." lol! (I don't know if he's purposely trying to be funny or he's naturally funny, since his facial expressions are always quite serious when he says something funny, but seriously he's hilarious) Then Hwangbo wanted to shoot a CF-like scene where she would run and he would catch her, and it was quite funny. Then they took a nice picture together. In the end during the interview, they talked about each other and I think they're starting to open up to each other. I want to see how the next episode goes. =)


Yeah, I think I'm totally doomed. One more tag spells trouble. =X

I've actually been watching this show (We Got Married), and Andy/Solbi couple is really really cute. I wouldn't mind if they really get together. =) Along the way I also watched the Alex/Shin Ae couple parts, and they are very sweeeeet. I watched partly because Shin Ae is Minwoo's ex-girlfriend and I wanted to know what kind of girl she is. She's very pretty and nice, really. I'll do a video spam on this whole show one day. ^^
