It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to see Jay Park back and singing in Korean where his ass belongs. Yes, we know you're a bboy at heart and that will never change, but dude we missed you. And there are only so many videos of you singing in your bathroom that we can handle. Unless you want to spice things up and sing in the shower, you're better off back in music videos and on stage.
And hopefully now that silly feud with some other guys will be put to rest .............. hint, hint.
Already "Abandoned" is stuck in my head. I don't know what he's saying, but when do I ever? Hell I have a hard enough time trying to decipher this guy's English tweets. I really like this video and I didn't find anything that I thought was ridiculous or stupid or just a horrible, horrible choice and shouldn't have ever happened. I mean, it's not like his hair was ridiculously shaved to look like sunglasses a la Kanye West or anything.
..... oh.
Well, it's not as if the choreography was laughable with things mimicking every day life like hailing a cab in New York City or hitchhiking your way across the country.
..... at least he didn't incorporate miming into it.
..... really?
And in other news, holy push-up bra, Batman.
Jay, I figured out why you were "abandoned." Do you see her face?
Do you see that expression? The "kill me now before he says one more freaking word" expression? Look at her! She's wearing a bra that is constricting and forcing her cleavage up to her chin, no doubt she has on a pair of spanx underneath that dress, even though she probably starved herself for two days in order to zip it up for your date that night, and she spent two freaking hours on her damn hair and she got waxed in some places that were never meant for hot wax ... and you sit there and cry and whine and totally kill the sexy, romantic mood she has created by physically altering her body?
NO WONDER SHE LEFT YOU.
I'd leave you too!
PS -- I am totally buying you new earrings. Those have been in your ears since the "Again and Again" days and that's another reason she left you! BUY YOU AND HER SOME EARRINGS (preferably not matching) AND MAKE IT UP TO HER, YOU ASS.

K-Pop male idols, please take this opportunity to prepare yourselves for what is about to happen.
Yours truly is back, folks. I've been slacking for way too long, neglecting my duty to all of you lovely readers around the globe to bring you sinfully delicious reading material about the idols we have become batshit obsessed over. The "Dark Ages," you could say, are over.
Now that the semester is over (Wednesday!) and it is summer, I have time on my hands when not at work. And I promise you all that it will be an amazing summer!
So it was really great timing that I stumbled upon this video by Simon and Martina at Eat Your Kimchi. I've been watching their videos for a while and I love them. I think they're absolutely hilarious and highly entertaining.
They're interacting with idols. Kevin freaking knows them.
SHE WAS BREATHING THE SAME AIR AS T.O.P. SHE WAS CONVERSING WITH G-DRAGON.
THE BATSHIT CRAZY FANGIRL INSIDE OF ME WANTS TO CALL HER A BITCH, BUT SHE REALLY ISN'T A BITCH I'M JUST BEING A JEALOUS GREEN MONSTER.
I am very happy for Simon and Martina to have such great success, but I also have to admit that it was like the K-Pop Gods shone down their golden light and screamed "WAKE THE FUCK UP, TKPA! YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO!" So that's what I'm doing. We've wondered before whether or not these idols know me, but damn it ... I'm going to make sure they do!
Then I remembered that 2PM has some boxers from me. Martina, you might have breathed the same air as T.O.P, but my URL is on Junho's ass. And that ass is splendid.
Check out lots of crazy and entertaining videos at http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/!
I'm baaack!

Yes, K-Poppers. Not VIPs. I'm calling everyone out on this.
We can now on Facebook vote for BIGBANG to come to our home country as part of this global event. Whether or not they will still add America to that list (since they want to debut here anyway), we don't know. But why would we take the chance?
We know that Papa YG wants to bring the boys here, so let's show him that we want them here!
Think of it this way ... I'm sure a lot of other idols are paying attention to what BIGBANG is doing right now. Opening it up to the world, broadening the k-pop horizons and seeing where exactly in the world they have fans. Point being, if they see that there are a lot of K-Pop fans in America, guess where they are going to want to go next?
As a whole fandom, not just a VIP or an ELF or a Hottest, Cassie, A+, B2uty, Shawol. etc, etc, etc ... we should really help each other out on this. Vote for BIGBANG to come to America, and maybe 2PM will follow on their own tour. Maybe Super Junior will hop on the bandwagon, bringing SHINee along.
Just because it isn't your bias that we are talking about doesn't mean that it has nothing to do with you. Even if we were talking about a girl group, I would vote for those of you, my readers, who do listen to them and love them.
Help a K-Pop brother and sister out and vote for BIGBANG to come to America!
ALSO, for my readers in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Romania, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines,Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, and China (basically those of you who aren't in Division 1 in the voting), you can vote for a country that isn't in your division! You can vote in all three divisions, so vote for America after voting for your home country!
Why should you vote for America? Because if they come here, I WILL GO. AND I WILL STALK. AND I WILL TAKE PICTURES. AND I WILL BLOG. AND I WILL FAN GIRL MY ASS OFF FOR ALL OF YOU.

This, my friends, is the best music video I have ever seen. Not because it's BIGBANG (well, it doesn't hurt that's for sure), but because it truly is an amazing video from an artistic standpoint.
When you get past the initial they're in a desert with one random telephone pole and what seems to be remnants of cars and a bus from a bomb explosion, you realize that this is all in ONE SHOT.
ONE CONTINUOUS SHOT. NO STOPPING. NO SWITCHING BETWEEN CAMERAS. ONE SHOT.
Do you know how hard that is to accomplish? To have everything timed so perfectly, to have the entire thing choreographed so precise that one tiny mistake will mean doing everything over again? It is amazing and it makes me want to cry from sheer happiness that BIGBANG worked this hard to deliver this to their fans.
Even when they're standing in a v-formation at 1:12, it is pure amazing what GD does to keep the fluidity of everything.
And then as the camera starts to move to the right, you see GD start to spin.
And then BAM! As soon as T.O.P becomes the center of the camera shot, GD finishes his spin, altering the v-formation to follow the camera.
Do you see how genius this video is, guys? This honestly makes me want to cry from how brilliant and pure amazing this is.
I know a lot of people have been making fun of how they've been "spinning" so much lately, but you do realize that this is why they've been spinning so much? They've been trying to get the fluidity of it down because they've probably been rehearsing and choreographing this particular MV for quite some time. Kind of makes you feel a little silly now, doesn't it?
There are only two other things that I can compare this to. The first one being the dramatic version of "It's You" by Super Junior. They could have done away with incorporating the choreography into the video and strictly made the dramatic version the whole MV. The other one isn't even K-Pop. No, it's my favorite movie of all time, GoodFellas. If you have never seen this movie, I suggest you go rent it ASAP. Anyway, there is one scene with the steady cam shot that lasts over two minutes and you'll see just how timing is truly everything.
BIGBANG IF YOU'RE STALKING THIS BLOG, I LOVE YOU FOR DOING THIS! To me this proves that you don't have to have some batshit crazy plot where you give birth to a mannequin head covered in goop to have your music video considered "art." Less is more.
(Oh, but GD ... you could lose the one dangly earring. That would make this even more perfect).
Check out BIGBANG's new MV for "Love Song" and be amazed.

I debated on whether or not I should hide my true feelings about this song and let you form your own opinion, or if I should rip the band-aid off like I do with everything else.
I wouldn't be me if I kept the band-aid on.
This is awful. Horrendous. Atrocious. As the French would say, c'est très mal. Any other synonym for "bad" you can think of. This ... song, if that's what you want to call it, makes Rebecca Black's recent disaster seem like epic gold. And if that nauseating voice of hers seems golden, then you know this shit is bad.
I know you're all excited because these big songwriters and producers, who have not only worked with Super Junior but other big names in the music industry, created this for you ... but come the fuck on this is a slap in the face to the fans.
We are not all thirteen and fourteen year old girls, okay? Not all of us find Super Junior to be cooler than polar bears, because quite frankly those are hilarious animals and they live in the damn Arctic Circle, so if you want to get technical about it, I'm pretty sure polar bears are "cooler." This whole song caters to the young teenagers and I feel like I need to shove a bunch of Bubblelicious in my mouth and blow a bubble the size of my head.
And sorry sorry sorry, but the line "Sorry Sorry Sorry has a really good beat!" ... ARE YOU KIDDING? This is really a line written by professional songwriters? This whole song was written by professional producers?
Really?
I mean ... REALLY?
This is such an insulting song to Super Junior fans. We're not all thirteen. We're not all bubblegum teeny boppers. Any song that compares Super Junior to pizza, polar bears, and popcorn should not be classified as a song.
If you like the song, that's great. That is your opinion. This is my opinion, so leaving me comments about how my opinion isn't absolute and blah blah blah will get you nowhere except making you feel like "you told me" for about five seconds. I respect your taste and not once in this post did I criticize the people that like it, I criticized the styling of the song and the lyrics of the song. I criticized the people who produced it, not the ones who like it.
I mean ... really?
