I don't know why I woke up so suddenly at 4:30 in the morning, but I've been unable to fall back asleep since then. So after laying in bed for thirty minutes, I said screw it and turned on the laptop. And as I logged into YouTube it kindly suggested this amazing new treasure in the form of a boy band that I had never heard of or knew existed.
Once again, my Twitter timeline has neglected to inform me of new badassery in the K-Pop scene (and yes, I just made up a word). I'm deeply upset by this because it has not given me the right amount of split-second time to call dibs on my new favorite of the month.
Whether or not N.Sonic is truly bad ass or just pretending to be is irrelevant. We all know groups have to earn their bad ass stripes in this business, and sometimes a single member can surpass his group mates and be the sole focus of my undying love and devotion until someone else with equal and/or slightly more bad ass value comes along to be my new little pet that likes to bite.
BUT CAN YOU GUESS WHO MY FAVORITE IS? HUH? HUH? CAN YA? CAN YA?
The choice is obvious if you know me. Black J -- which I have to say is the one of the most bad ass stage names shrouded in mystery I have ever heard -- has captivated me. And if you don't know who he is, he's the one with the tattoo in the video (or the one on the far right). HE SEALED THE TKPA DEAL WITH THE TATT, OKAY?? Don't judge me.
And of course, OF COURSE, he has to be the maknae. What is it lately with these young guys coming in and claiming my attention and precious blog space? If this is a sign that I am getting old, oh please make it stop.
AND HE'S A RAPPER. OH SWEET MOTHER OF THE K-POP GODS WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME.
From left to right we have, Black J, Eunho, J.Heart, Jonguk, and Byeol. They're quite delicious, aren't they?
The song "Super Boy" is really good for a debut song. Can they do better? Oh, yes, absolutely. It's nowhere near comparable to the half-boxing, half-puppy debut that Dalmatian had, but at the same time, in my highly biased opinion, it's still not even close to the likes of BEAST and MBLAQ's debuts. The overall style is really good, nothing atrocious to make us all go WTF?!
And N.Sonic scores some brownie points for going shirtless and dancing in the overhead sprinklers. I think someone must have been paying attention when I said FOREVER AGO that a fantastic and sure fire way to make a music video go from great to "oh-my-God-that-was-un-fucking-believable-oppa-have-my-babies" is flesh and water.
Check out the video that's apparently been around since October from a group that my readers and Twitter followers totally "neglected" to tell me about. I know what happened. You took one look at Black J and thought, "Rapper. Tattoo. Hot. Bad Ass Potential. MINE." I don't blame you, though ... I would have done the same.
Watch "Super Boy" by N.Sonic and get used to these rookies because I'm near obsession.
Hello my lovely readers and/or followers! Hope you all had fantastic Holidays and I hope your New Year was amazing and that you're enjoying 2012 thus far ... also known as the last year of our lives ... just kidding.
Only MBLAQ can make me come out of my relaxation state on my day off to sit in an uncomfy chair and spazz relentlessly about them. And it's been so long since a proper MBLAQ spazzing has taken place that I feel a tad bit rusty, so if at any point it turns into straight out incoherent statements, I trust that those who speak "fangirl/fanboy" can interpret it into logical thoughts.
I have come to the conclusion that Joon likes guns.
He likes big guns.
Blueprints of them, even, so he can disassemble and then reassemble at his pleasing.
He spends so much time with his guns that he watches any movie where guns are the focal point. He saw Wanted in theaters thirty-seven times, partly because he wanted to learn how to curve a bullet, but mostly because he liked the soothing sound of Morgan Freeman's voice. All that studying and popcorn inhaling came to good use once he learned how to curve that bullet, though.
He likes to hoard his guns in a junkyard so no one will find him, because who in their right mind voluntarily goes to a junkyard?
Except for Thunder, who lives there as a care-taker, which in my opinion has to be the worst job ever.
And he also sleeps in a van.
Going out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure Thunder has a certain ... aroma of the not pleasant variety.
The awkward moment when the girl you were going to kill has fallen for the less hot, non-weapon-carrying so-called, backstabbing best friend you've entrusted to take care of the target, who, looking back on it now, you've should have just pulled the trigger.
The dramatic portion of the video is basically Joon is going to assassinate this girl. Why? Who the fuck knows? Maybe she is late on paying her Macy's credit card bill, and you know sometimes those bill collectors can be a little hasty. But then he sees someone else wants to kill her and it's like OH HALE NO, so he rescues her and then takes her to THE MIDDLE OF A JUNKYARD TO RECOVER AFTER BEING SHOT. Seriously, I could not think of a more sanitary place than a junkyard.
And then, he leaves to play with his guns, and upon returning, he realizes that the girl he was going to originally kill has fallen for Thunder. He gives major bitchface, more bitchy than Joon has ever given (bravo, bb, bravo!), and then pulls her outside. Thunder and Joon get into a fight, Joon pulls a gun out on them ... and then after this I get like ... huh?
Does Joon purposely try to kill himself by curving the bullet around them to come back like a boomerang? It really had to be that dramatic? And then when he dies, they pull out what I think are plane tickets ... so why couldn't you just say "HEY, BRO, I'm taking her away so she'll be safe!" Then you wouldn't have had to die and Thunder would be all "Cool, bro, call me when you land, and please resist the urge to kill her during your travels."
JOON'S DEATH WAS UNNECESSARY TO THE PLOT. IT COULD HAVE ENDED PEACEFULLY.
Also the girl choosing Thunder over Joon is completely unrealistic. I mean, why would you choose Thunder, someone who quite possibly smells and can only offer you the tallest compost pile on the lot, versus Joon, a sexy gun-toting bad ass who fell under your spell and wants to whisk you away for a thrilling life on the run? Yes, in reality I'm positive Thunder smells a heck of a lot better than Joon's unhygenic ass, but we are not talking about reality. We're talking about entertainment. And I want to see Joon not dead at the end of my music video watching experience.
Oh and you think this post is over ... but we still have three other members who weren't included in the dramatic plot. What's up with that? (I blame it on Rain being in the army).
OH MY BEAUTIFUL SEUNGHO. PLEASE NEVER EVER CHANGE. YOUR LIPS. YOUR HAIR -- NOT QUITE WHAT I AM USED TO ON YOU BUT STILL PERFECTION AT ITS VERY DEFINITION. I CAN EVEN HANDLE THE COLOR BECAUSE IT ISN'T THAT AWFUL BLONDE, IT IS A REAL COLOR FOUND IN NATURE. AND WHEN YOU CRY ... OH DEAR LORD WHEN YOU CRY I JUST WANT TO KISS THOSE PINK STARBURST JUICY LIPS AND TELL YOU IT WILL ALL BE OKAY AND BLOT THOSE TEARS AWAY WITH A TISSUE.
NEVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. EVER CHANGE.
MIR YOU ARE ALL GROWN UP AND ANGRY AND SEXY AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE TIGER NOISES AND PAW AT YOU ALL SEXILY BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL AND I FUCKING LOVE WHOEVER STYLED YOU. FLAWLESS AND YOU HAVE NEVER LOOKED BETTER.
AND OF COURSE A SPAZZ FEST WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT SOME G.O ACTION. THOUGH I MISS YOUR MUSTACHE, YOU STILL LOOK HELLA FINE WITHOUT IT AND DEAR LORD YOU JUST OOZE HOTNESS. EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AMAZING AND PERFECT AND I LOVE YOU.
Since I already talked so much about Thunder and Joon at the beginning of this post, all I will say is this:
Thunder looks so much more ... complete with eye-liner. Let's not push it to "I'll Be Back" proportions, but a little goes a long way.
I have never seen Joon more flawless in any video. Seriously, he is in the top five of the most gorgeous K-Pop idols.
I would say to check out their new video if you haven't yet, but who would I be kidding?
