			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-8934 alignnone" title="gayo" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/gayo.jpg" alt="gayo" width="400" height="662" /></p>
<p>As with the end of year countdown, its always expected to have the Gayo DaeJuns <em>(Song Festivals) </em>take place days after each other for all the main broadcasting stations to show-off  or outdo each other with performances.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s always the same performances with the same people on <strong>SBS</strong>,<strong> MBC</strong> and <strong>KBS</strong> shows that you sometimes fail to remember which performance they wore that particularly hideous outfit in, or which one made a fool out of so and so, and which show so and so made you want to puke, etc.  And believe me, that has become a staple amongst the shows and the obvious favouritism and lack of creativity/originality is insurmountable on these shows, that not watching them isn&#8217;t really going to make a difference.</p>
<p>Not to mention the glitches that shouldn&#8217;t be made in terms of technical support&#8230; How many mics not working, bad camera work, bad timing or lack of synchronisation is there with these things, eh?  You would think that with it being an annual thing there wouldn&#8217;t be so many mistakes.  Think again.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s why, our wonderful readers and trolls, we&#8217;re giving you an account of our thoughts on the worth watching mishaps, blunders and just plain EEEEWSIES <em>(as in EEW, what the hell is going on?  That&#8217;s gross!) </em>in the end of year Gayo DaeJuns&#8230; Where Gayo sometimes means <strong>KA</strong>yo! <em>(GO! Go! GO! away! in Hangul).</em></p>
<p><strong>Biggest blunder <em>(possibly of all time)</em> SNSD and their over-exposure </strong><em><strong>(in so many shapes and forms)</strong>.</em></p>
<p><em>&gt;(No need to insert any videos here for proof, go to YT and search for ANY performance!)&lt;<br />
</em></p>
<p>Lady Gertrude in Shakespeare&#8217;s Hamlet said it best, when you try too hard to convince people of something, it most likely is not true&#8230;.SNSD and SM &#8220;Thou Protesteth Too much&#8221; when it comes to claiming that your 9 demons have any talent.  Where the hell are the &#8220;Supernatural&#8221; Brothers  to get rid of the leeching, talentless, unbelievably un-sexy 9 demons of SM Entertainment?  Opening the doors of the Devil <em>(aka Lee Sooman) </em>really did let out some horrible things unto the World.  LOL.  Every performance was full of mishaps and blunders that lack of time could never account to the hideousness of their performances of their songs and/or special collabs.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get on to business shall we?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SBS<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>2PM weren&#8217;t very good in their past lives, were they?</strong></p>
<p><img src="file:///C:/Users/ADMINI%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8905" title="200912292332151002_1" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/200912292332151002_1.jpg" alt="200912292332151002_1" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>WooYoung face right there, was his <em>(And most peoples)</em> expression  throughout the whole performance. Enough said.</p>
<p><strong>G-Dragon gets emotional</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8912" title="tears" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/tears.jpg" alt="tears" width="329" height="496" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Probably after watching Wooyoung suffer in the above.</p>
<p>Hes a sweet Hyung he is.</p>
<p>But we all know G-D has had his fair share of bad press <em>(Plagiarism and indecency!)</em> so he lays the blame on the oldest excuse in the book &#8220;I got something in my eye&#8221;.  Smoke to be exact.</p>
<p><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K2Jh-YF_OlI&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K2Jh-YF_OlI&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>CL shocks<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8909" title="ew" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ew.jpg" alt="ew" width="450" height="693" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Aww, they&#8217;re like Lil&#8217; Kim and Se7en!</p>
<p>While performing G-Ds track &#8220;The Leaders&#8221;, <strong>2NE1</strong> leader, CL, wore a leotard of some sort with her underwear sticking out at certain places and had peoples panties in a twist since shes under-age. On the other hand, I don&#8217;t know if its those monster heels shes got on, or if its the out-fit or the hair but don&#8217;t G-D look teeny?</p>
<p><strong>Boys should stay boys</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8910" title="oh my" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/oh-my.jpg" alt="oh my" width="500" height="988" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m all for boys performing girls songs and vice versa but there&#8217;s a fine line between paying tribute and gay-fantasies.</p>
<p>The drag has got to go. <em>(I thought they were &#8220;manly manly men!&#8221;?)<br />
</em><br />
I actually thought ShinDong was HyunA for his, <strong>SHINee</strong> and <strong>MBLAQ</strong>s&#8217; performance of <strong>4Minute</strong>s &#8220;Muzik&#8221;. On the plus side, I thought Key and ShinDong really worked it, and well&#8230; MBLAQ boys got the dancing down. <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Se9ttI7hE6w&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Se9ttI7hE6w&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what it is about Kwon that gets me in fits of laughter, that guy was made for the stage. 2PM/<strong>2AM</strong>/<strong>BEAST</strong> joint stage for <strong>Brown Eyed girls</strong>&#8216; &#8220;Sign&#8221; was good. They got those sleepy/dead looks down right, and of course a little Kwon diva moment in between.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VtHzagNpLOA&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VtHzagNpLOA&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>I would have been fine with this performance if there was only less of <strong>GAH!</strong>ee. What was with that spasm in the end? Like a kick but then half way through her heart stopped beating too early and then, commence toppling.</p>
<p>And ofcourse&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Lil&#8217; CL strikes again with her leaotard-ity!</strong></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tQOjYQZd8bk&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tQOjYQZd8bk&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>CLs was the best rendition of this cross-dressing nightmare, hands down.</p>
<p>Mostly due to the fact that she<em><strong> </strong></em><a href="http://shenyuepop.com/2009/10/27/we-knew-it-all-along/"><em><strong>IS </strong></em>G-Dragon</a>, female.</p>
<p>Thats what got a reaction outta me from them liberal <em>(Drag? Good!)</em> SBS folks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>KBS</strong></p>
<p><strong>Taemins your Venus</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8915" title="tae" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/tae.jpg" alt="tae" width="427" height="550" /></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><em>He&#8217;s your fire, your desire</em><strong><em>~</em><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Greek Goddess Taemin decided to go for a futuristic look with his Toga. Thats the only way I can make sense of this out-fit, I have no idea what else it could be but it sure as hell left an impression on me.</p>
<p><strong>Gil goes hunting</strong></p>
<p>But looks pimpalicious with the top hat and fur that he got as a trophy from his day hunting in the woods. Besides Gil owning everybody, he put on an awesome performance with teammate Gary and Jang Giha &amp; The faces <em>(Personally, one of my favourite bands)</em></p>

<p><strong>Gorilla man lives his fantasy</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8917" title="go" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/go.jpg" alt="go" width="450" height="654" /><br />
</strong><br />
<em>Is that the &#8217;sexy&#8217; &#8220;Oh-mo-na&#8221;?</em></p>
<p><strong>JYP</strong> decided to spice things up with a &#8220;sexy&#8221; dance performance with <strong>Son DamBi</strong>. But we all know it was just an excuse to perform female dance moves on stage.</p>
<p>KBS Gayo Daejun was probably the most versatile out of the three, seeing as it wasn&#8217;t as much of an Idol Fest as MBC and SBSs&#8217; were.<br />
<strong><br />
<em>Last and definitely the least&#8230;.</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>MBC</strong></p>
<p><strong>CLEAR!</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8921" title="애프터스쿨+담비" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/애프터스쿨+담비.jpg" alt="애프터스쿨+담비" width="694" height="400" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>After School</strong> and Son DamBis performance of &#8220;When I grow up&#8221; certainly shocked me. I don&#8217;t know if Gahee was still hung up over performing &#8220;Heartbeat&#8221; the day before and that she, and apparently the rest of After School and DamBi, had to constantly pop their chests to regain composure, but what the hell was that?</p>
<p><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gDT63FM63io&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gDT63FM63io&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></p>
<p>Is Gahee really fluent in English? Cos&#8217; by the sound of it, shes the worse of the lot.</p>
<p><strong>JYP wants mini-mes!</strong><br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gtbcdZmsQ1c&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gtbcdZmsQ1c&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><em>Break a leg, pops!</em></p>
<p>Looks like JYP wants to re-live his youth through the 2PM boys<em> (The sleazy hip thrusts, oh the sleazy hip thrusts!)</em>. DJ Jinyoung looking and sounding like a Cockatoo  really had me distracted, especially with the ad libs <em>(lol)</em> and the pleather <em>(not lol)</em>.</p>
<p>__________________________________________________________________________</p>
<p>I know there was probably a lot more to comment on with last years Song festivals but some performances took a lot to mentally block out <em>(The ones that didn&#8217;t have &#8220;lol&#8221;s in them, just &#8220;Wtf?&#8221;s)</em> and I would rather not re live them O_O<em>(*cough*MBCs-horridly-cheesy-video-intros/attempts-at-creativity/reminder-of-why-their-variety-shows-are-failing*cough*)</em>. Plus, if I had to comment on everything disappointing I&#8217;d go on forever<em> (Can somebody say Michael Jackson tributes? Where was the passion, where was the fire?)</em>.</p>

<p>So, which Gayo Daejun <em>(No matter how exceptionally similar they were)</em> did you like best?</p>
<p><em>I nearly forgot to thank Fabia.O for working together with me on this! <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Thanks! </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8854" title="AHHH" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/AHHH.jpg" alt="AHHH" width="444" height="237" /></p>
<p>Damn, since Boram of <strong>T-Ara</strong> was in a horror movie I&#8217;m assuming she picked up some traumatising habits and probably scared my subconscious into singing that bloody line of their new track over and over and over again in my head!  And I strangely am starting to love it&#8230;. O_O</p>
<p>Anyway, since some people are being super pissy because they&#8217;re most likely super lonely in the Winter season since their busy online ragging on us for not updating&#8230;<em>(Well excuse us for having jobs/personal lives/love lives/an education)</em>.  I thought I&#8217;d put in a little fluff post here about my opinion of this years girl groups.</p>
<p>Now, in the not so famous words of a famous TV judge  I want to say that &#8220;I do not want to compromise the integrity of this blog by writing blog posts that have no honest opinion&#8221;. So if you happen to be mortally insulted by other&#8217;s opinion then I suggest you turn away, or better yet learn to deal with the real world pansies.  Of course this is a strictly opinion K-entertainment site about whatever we feel like covering, be fully aware that I do have tongue firmly in cheek.</p>
<p>I must say thanks though to those that support us, keep coming back and welcoming us with kind words, we majorly appreciate it. Those on the other hand that whine and moan, hush up and go elsewhere, we owe you nothing.  <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Now, down to pointless yet fun business!</p>
<p><strong>T-ARA</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8861" title="티아라2" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/티아라2.jpg" alt="티아라2" width="529" height="416" /></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>I mention these girls first because I still can&#8217;t get their cosplay outfits out of my head, and that ain&#8217;t for a good reason.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, Fabio likes good cosplay but when it just looks cheap and stupid&#8230;. Well, it&#8217;s cheap and stupid.  Anyhow, this girl group was getting a lot of attention before they debuted earlier this year.  What with their &#8220;years of training&#8221;<em>(I really wish people stopped using that line, cos who hasn&#8217;t had years of training in Kpop now?)</em>, and <strong>Mnet</strong> backing them, people were definitely going to pay attention.  Unfortunately they had two members leave before they even made their first stage. It was sad since one of them was the only girl I remembered and had a distinctive voice.  Anyhow, their swishing dance moves for &#8220;lies&#8221; and their moderately successful single &#8220;TTL&#8221; with the <strong>Supernova</strong> dudes made for a promising start.</p>
<p>Frankly, they&#8217;re like every other new girl group, it&#8217;s just that they have Mnet backing them. What with the great benefit of having your own popular channel to have free promotions with, they&#8217;re bound to catch on.  I don&#8217;t really see anything special with them but they do grow on you. I only actually like 2 of them, and perhaps it is due to exposure. Despite the exposure issue, mini TaeHee still freaks me out.  I just wish Mnet gave them better music and I am also aware the rap was mega cringe-worthy when they debuted, I also did watch their opening performances just to lol at them.   Cruel, yet at least I tuned in.  <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />   Good luck but really some of them need to work on their singing, only one can actually sing well live.</p>
<p><strong>2NE1</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8857" title="2ne1" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2ne1.jpg" alt="2ne1" width="460" height="522" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>I really do think I made clear what I think about them before, nonetheless, musically I much prefer 2NE1 to all other groups out there.  OK, OK, Dara can&#8217;t sing if her life depended on it, and yes she is so cheesy I think she oozes cheese rather than oil. Though, at least she looks like she&#8217;s enjoying herself on stage.  LOL.  They probably must have had the most successful debut I can even remember, and that isn&#8217;t an achievement I&#8217;m betting my life on, <em>(since I&#8217;m writing this while I haven&#8217;t slept for a day or two so my memory is hazy)</em>, but that IS kudos worthy.  Or a big cry out to the K-Pop industry&#8230; <strong>MAKE BETTER MUSIC DAMN IT!</strong> Really, no wonder the industry is suffering.  I am not their biggest fan but props to them, or to YG, whatever.  They have so much to work on with their stage presence, which I don&#8217;t just think is lacking, but I sometimes <em>(Most of the time)</em> feel like is non-existent. Still I&#8217;m rallying for a petition to get them as much back up dancers as possible, because really the stage always looks so empty and dead when they&#8217;re on it.</p>
<p>Yes, I have called CL a troll before, but <a href="http://shenyuepop.com/2009/08/08/and-so-it-begins/">that&#8217;s only cos G-Dragon did first</a>.  Nonetheless she is growing on me, why?  Because I realise that her identity issues are a problem she seems to be working with and that she&#8217;s not such a bad lass and thus my mocking has turned to pity.  And if you were <a href="http://shenyuepop.com/2009/10/27/we-knew-it-all-along/"><strong>G-dragon</strong>s clone</a> you would have problems too!  And Bom, one day you will regain movement in your face and you wont just simply look like your saving marshmallows in your mouth for later!  Barring all of that, I still look forward to their next group album I just don&#8217;t dig their solo music.  Good luck and come back as a foursome soon please, no more drifting!!!  And I actually find Minzy faultless, she can dance, sing and rap, well done to her!</p>

</strong></p>
<p>Firstly, their music is perfect for afternoon Ajumma aerobics lessons with Chinese Instructor Victoria teaching at the local community centre.  Secondly, they seem so sweet.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it.</p>
<p>I had a lot to rant on about them before, but now I&#8217;m just wondering what new strange concoction of songs and dance moves they&#8217;ll come out with next.  That and when Amber will start finally look like she hasn&#8217;t mistakenly walked in on the wrong stage and performed with the wrong group.</p>
<p><strong>4minute</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8859" title="4min" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4min.jpg" alt="4min" width="560" height="353" /><br />
</strong><br />
<em>Magnae on the far right looks so high!</em></p>
<p>I probably critiqued these girls the most positively, lol.  I started enjoying their performances a lot when they started their &#8220;Muzik&#8221; promotions, it was funny since I got so bored with their debut song, but now I can&#8217;t get enough of it.  These girls have stage presence and pull off a good performance when they try, but sometimes I feel like they&#8217;re overworked and it shows.  Although I really don&#8217;t know what they do to make them so tired.  Again, these girls are quite likeable and I thought that they may be the most well rounded this year. But then they come out with their third track and then announced solo projects for JiYoon and HyunA<del datetime="2009-12-09T18:40:57+00:00">jumma</del> and then&#8230;. I got disinterested again.</p>
<p>Still, I look forward to their next group album and wish these younguns get some good music going for them next time round.</p>
<p><strong>Secret</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8860" title="secret" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/secret.jpg" alt="secret" width="550" height="350" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>I wish they were kept a secret in the first place.  Oh dear God, why did the cheesy 90s crawl out from behind us and take a bite?  Their stages are tacky and cheesy, their song is tacky and cheesy, their Music Video was tacky and cheesy, the only thing I give them credit for is the running theme.  Please, Please give them better music, choreography, everything!<br />
<strong><br />
After School</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8862" title="afs" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/afs.jpg" alt="afs" width="530" height="400" /></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>I was actually quite disappointed that they lost a member, due to the fact that she was the first to stand out to me and it seemed a shame she left.  But I guess since AfterSchool is a group that&#8217;s meant to have people &#8220;graduate&#8221;, it was only a matter of time til someone left. Though I did wish it was freaky leader or UEE first.  <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>They got two new members where one can sing and one&#8217;s just there to fill a spot in the choreo. I still always look out for these girls when they perform and am anxious to hear their new sound.  I&#8217;m not a big fan of &#8220;Because of You&#8221; but it is catchy. Nevertheless, nowadays they look like a female version of <strong>2PM</strong> and remind me of a combo of &#8220;Again and Again&#8221; and &#8220;I hate You&#8221; promotions, and it doesn&#8217;t help that they&#8217;ve upped the member tally to 7 as well.   I just wish there was less GaHee, more JungAh and Bekha and no UEE.  Ah well, one can dream and mentally block out. <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>H.A.M</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8878" title="ham" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ham.jpg" alt="ham" width="401" height="466" /></p>
<p>With that name it seems like their own company thinks they&#8217;re hopeless.  I have seen a few performances though and I do think that vocally they probably can out-sing most of the noobs out there.  They just need better clothes, music, cheoreography and a name.  I know it stands for &#8220;Heart and Mind&#8221;, but the first thing anyone is bound to think of is our oinky little friends.  Also having that name when Swine flu is rampant&#8230;not a good idea.</p>
<p><strong>Rainbow</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8863" title="rainbow" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/rainbow.jpg" alt="rainbow" width="520" height="347" /></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>&#8230;..</p>
<p>No words, no words at all.</p>
<p>What are everyone else&#8217;s thoughts?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That CL was never really born a human being.</p>
<p>This photo shoot has been out for a while but I will not pass up an opportunity to critique it.  <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>For &#8220;<strong>W</strong>&#8221; magazine the <strong>2NE1</strong> girls were made to dress up in a &#8220;gangster&#8221; theme, although it&#8217;s obvious only one person really looked at home with the &#8220;weaponry&#8221; it didn&#8217;t make things any less interesting for the group as a whole.</p>
<p>My favorite of the shoot, CL of course.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8786" title="CL" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/CL.jpg" alt="CL" width="450" height="583" /><br />
<em>With all that major Photo shop I thought she was Hyori.</em></p>
<p>Now, tell me you don&#8217;t see a very important part of the human body missing?  It seems that CL does not own a bellybutton making her never really &#8220;born&#8221;, prompting me to come to my very own <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">un</span>likely theories.</p>
<p>My favorite being that CL was made as a clone with a strand of G-Dragons hair when one day visiting Japan.  After unknowingly being the base for a new species, the Japanese Yakuza applied a special chemical known to the world as &#8220;Chemical X&#8221;, thus coming to life as YGs resident female rapper.  To be more accurate her clone label is actually <strong>GM</strong> for &#8220;Genetically Modified&#8221;.  HooHa.  And has since been planted in Korea by the Japanese to spy on the K-Scene.  Who would every suspect a KPop star as a spy?</p>
<p>The rest didn&#8217;t pull off the bad ass weapon look better than CL, mind you she is the one most likely to have a criminal record.</p>
<p>Minjy is working the hair and attire but looks extremely awkward with the cowboy gun..<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8790" title="Minji" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Minji.jpg" alt="Minji" width="450" height="583" /><br />
<em>Shoot the other fella and not your feet cowgirl</em></p>
<p>Bom looks like she&#8217;ll rip you a new pair with that look&#8230;<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8791" title="Bom" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Bom.jpg" alt="Bom" width="450" height="583" /><br />
<em>You don&#8217;t look so badass with the Taj Mahal tattooed on your back though</em></p>
<p>Dara looks like <strong>Andre Kim</strong>s South African cousin..<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8789" title="Dara" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Dara.jpg" alt="Dara" width="450" height="583" /><br />
<em>Staying up late had it&#8217;s toll on her</em></p>
<p>Your thoughts?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8730" title="mblaq" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mblaq.jpg" alt="mblaq" width="540" height="392" /></p>
<p><strong>MBLAQ</strong> which stands for &#8216;Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality&#8217;&#8230;. I know, wtf&#8230;?  Or if you prefer MBLAH, Music boys love in absolute harmony<em> (Now that&#8217;s a <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">manga</span> group name to be proud of)</em>.<strong> Jtunes, </strong>which always sounded like a cartoon company to me, AKA Senior <strong>Rain</strong>s companys&#8217; little boy group project will be debuting officially soon.</p>
<p>One of their members recently got some major coverage for being related to a female star. Apparently he replaced one of the other members previously written up as an MBLAQ member.<em> (The ex-member will be crying his eyes out in a year or twos time and be debuting in a group like<strong> B2ST</strong>, haha.  Them and their </em><em>DA-DA-DANCING SHOooEs&#8230;. A.J. changed his name cos of Paran fans and now I don&#8217;t know what he is anymore <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  .)</em></p>
<p>Back on track, I am not talking about Bae ChulYoung aka Mil or whatever <em>(Go EunAhs&#8217; little brother)</em> but ChanDong <em>(Park SangHyun)</em>&#8230;</p>
<p>Have you guessed who yet?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8729" title="dara bro" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dara-bro.jpg" alt="dara bro" width="501" height="365" /></p>
<p>Sandara Park of <strong>2NE1</strong> tiny and long little brother.  Who kinda looks like Kim JongHoon of U.N.  It&#8217;s probably the lip gloss and the poutiness.</p>
<p>Since I couldn&#8217;t tell who from who, <em>(except the guy with a moustache and peekaboo chest hair, yay for differentiation)</em>, we&#8217;re lucky to have another famous ladies little brother in the mix, and to kindly pick up the age quota to legal.  Cos goodness knows noonas are not diggin the ones that are too young, I&#8217;m looking at you Taemin and little guy who debuted at 13, where are you anyway?</p>
<p>They showcased their dancing and singing abilities as Rains opening acts for his &#8220;Legend of Rainism&#8221; tour.  Does he really want that title, really?   Well when you read the song titles of MBLAQ you&#8217;ll get that &#8216;<em>Legend of Rainism</em>&#8216; is the best of the lot.  Their two songs are &#8220;Oh YEAH!&#8221; and &#8220;Good Love&#8221;, as in &#8220;OH YEAH! for the GOOD LOVE of God change our name&#8221;.  So thanks for reminding me, cos MBLAQ is a horrible name for such a pretty boy group.  And can I take a second and be totally shallow&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>WHERE IN THE MANGA HAVE THEY FOUND THESE GUYS?!</strong> And if you have a &#8220;Manga to Human&#8221; machine goodness knows I could use it.  I&#8217;m hoping its not just photo shop and angles working their magic cos they tend to make you blink and stare.</p>
<p>They all look like they&#8217;re the same guy with small differences, those jaw lines and those noses and eyes&#8230; Just like the Manga Lord made them.</p>
<p>Not that I&#8217;m really that shallow but some nice eye candy wouldn&#8217;t hurt every once in a while.  It gets old when you have to get to know people and love them inside and then out.  Oh dear it really is tiring being sentimental rather than completely superficial!  <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Watch them go &#8220;Oh Yeah&#8221; back and forth and back and forth and those long legs and bodies are making them seem even more Manga like.</p>
<p>Hey Rain, I&#8217;m gonna so break in to your idol factory and steal that machine.  I have stacks of manga to get working on.  Cheers for the epiphany you made me realise with those pics and videos.  Here&#8217;s to hoping they don&#8217;t disappoint and they have personalities as well as looks.</p>
<p>Oh yeah and some talent too.</p>

<p>I always liked <strong>4Minute</strong>. Sure I made fun of HyunAh a lot <em>(HyunAjumma!)</em> but it was playful teasing honestly, and out of the horde of girl groups out there&#8230;. Man, are they most promising. They&#8217;re recent song &#8220;Muzik&#8221; is so much fun to just boogy down to, and what a refreshment after that horrible music video I just saw ( La ChA Ta Ta TA(?) )</p>

<p>I never really had the chance to say this about them, but these girls are confident, have attitude and hella stage presence to back it up. Looking at <em><strong>that</strong></em> performance, you wouldn&#8217;t think this is their 2nd single promotions,  looks more like they&#8217;ve been in the biz for a while. I don&#8217;t know why everybody&#8217;s talking about <strong>2NE1</strong>s &#8220;stage presence&#8221;, which I think is non-existent, these girls give it off, while I feel nothing when 2NE1 performs, I&#8217;d much rather listen to their songs.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re the full package when it comes to performers. Appealing voices, stage presence and have some decent dance skills. JiYoon is a STAR and thank the lord they stopped HyunA from that squeaky singing and she stuck to how shes meant to sound. Bearable.</p>
<p>I see a lotta potential, and just because I like them&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every time it comes to the weekend, I, like any other socially active human being, gets a little busy.  And so, I miss out on a lot of the news that come up from Thursday to Sunday, and it seems like this week there&#8217;s a lot of delinquency about while the Fabia.O has been away.</p>
<p>PUBLIC INDECENY AND JUVENILE DELINQUENCY!</p>
<p>Tut tut tut to all the little kids who&#8217;ve gone mad with all the public attention and in some cases, adoration.  Seems like they&#8217;re lashing out to the world, clear signs of some much needed mental health.  And she&#8217;s done it in forms of indecent animated animal exposure&#8230;<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8232" title="these bears care too much" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/these-bears-care-too-much.jpg" alt="these bears care too much" width="400" height="615" /><br />
<em>&#8220;Hey Doggy, I can see Uranus!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Ok, firstly, I thank <b>2NE1</b>s Minzy for ruining one of my favorite tv shows as a toddler&#8230;. There goes the happy warm feelings of love they brought with their belly&#8217;s full of wonderment&#8230;.There goes my young fantasies of travelling on rainbows with my furry friends&#8230; All because some people who have eyes of a hawk noticed a bear on a cloud being a little too happy&#8230; <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />   Thank you very much you inconsiderate fiends!</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s evil monster that is Chansung of <b>2PM</b>!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8237" title="oh dear" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/oh-dear.jpg" alt="oh dear" width="441" height="341" /><br />
<em>What I&#8217;m worried about is the fact that Taec on the left looks like he&#8217;s smoking dope</em></p>
<p>Damn it, if there ever was a greater disguise than a cute tall bunny ban (boyman for long), this one is the bestest.  4 weeks ago or so, while on a stroll in the dirty streets of HongDae, ChanSung, on camera, dropped a dangerous missile of something unrecognisable.  And just recently some bored netizens finally made their voices known with their sheer stubborness and made some random people who work in Mnet and JYPE apologise.  I am so gonna twitter your ass straight Chansung.  Via DIRECT MESSAGE! MOOHAHAH.  And major major LOLS at the excuse that this was scripted and they went back and cleaned the area.  LOL.</p>
<p>Whatever man, there are more important things in the world than Carebears who care too much and dropping some unidentifiable missile that no one noticed but one bored and overly attentive fan.  Dude, go clean the streets yourselves if you&#8217;re so passionate about it.</p>
<p>Dang.  Everyone knows that Seoul needs better care in the streets.  Litter and Pollution is a major problem, go out there and rally about it if you care so much.</p>
<p>And that Carebear&#8230;. O_O</p>
<p>Oh yeah and P.S.<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8239" title="teiny showed some titty" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/teiny-showed-some-titty.jpg" alt="teiny showed some titty" width="450" height="499" /><br />
<em>I don&#8217;t care enough to even tag their names</em></p>
<p>These two chicks by the name of <b>Twiny</b> <i>(is that their names?)</i> were on some show and had a wardrobe malfunction and one twiny showed her twin titties a la Spring Break&#8230;. :O</p>
<p>No, I kid, it fell down from how intense her dance moves were&#8230; Worse part, no one noticed at the filming, it wasn&#8217;t until they looked over the tapes&#8230;  I actually feel bad for them now, one thing, her shirt had nothing to cover and it travelled down and two, everyone knows cos someone was gracious enough to share the info.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In &#8220;sophisticated variety&#8221;?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8210" title="jewlry" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/jewlry.jpg" alt="jewlry" width="509" height="450" /></p>
<p>*_O</p>
<p>Yeah, what with the Kpop world overrun by so many females that it&#8217;s getting quite ridiculous, I was fairly disinterested in the <strong>Jewelry</strong> comeback.  I hoped they would have made their comeback in the colder months to garner more attention, but we can&#8217;t have what we want all the time, can we?</p>
<p>And if you thought <strong>G-Dragon</strong> was the only one having his cosplay fun, making the world know that he idolises Draco Malfoy, you were wrong.  Jewelry are doing it too, sophisticated they may not really be, but it&#8217;s still interesting to see.</p>
<p>Ladies, Gents<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> and haters</span>, check out Jewelrys&#8217; version of  <strong>2NE1s CL</strong>:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8211" title="CL" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/CL.jpg" alt="CL" width="350" height="493" /></p>
<p>The female <strong>Lee JunKi</strong> wearing the rapper from <strong>Brown Eyed Girls</strong>&#8216; leather vertical slit pants:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8212" title="juuuuuunki" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/juuuuuunki1.jpg" alt="juuuuuunki" width="350" height="493" /></p>
<p><em>She really needs to learn a better pose, she looks like HwangBo here.<br />
</em></p>
<p>Bad dye-job and broken curling iron Marilyn Monroe:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8213" title="marilyn" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/marilyn.jpg" alt="marilyn" width="350" height="493" /></p>
<p>And <strong>T-Ara</strong>s small person Boram:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8214" title="boram" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/boram.jpg" alt="boram" width="350" height="493" /></p>
<p>No-one said it was good cosplay.</p>

<p>I never thought I would be saying that&#8230;ever.</p>
<p>Everyone&#8217;s favorite rookie girl group has been getting a lot of attention and love from other celebs.</p>
<p><strong>Yoon EunHye</strong> publicly declared her love for the group, <strong>SS501</strong> leader Kim HyunJoong is keeping his eyes on CL and now, so will <strong>Baek JiYoung</strong>.  They should fight for her.  <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I dig <strong>2NE1</strong> as much as the next blogger, but I would much rather listen to their music.  I guess it&#8217;s because I always get the nagging feeling that there&#8217;s a member missing every time they perform.  That, and their dancing is not really up to par, which I&#8217;m glad they know and will hopefully continue to work on.</p>
<p>2NE1 is rocking it and rolling it and getting a lot of attention from you, your mama and her sisters&#8217; hairdresser.  I just want them to start promoting a new song now and for them to get backup dancers who can add to their stage presence, which I feel is only held up by Dara and CL.  Minzy lightens up when she does her parts and is probably the best dancer of the group, in comparison to Bom who I just cant help but watch because of her awkward dancing.</p>
<p>CL must be happy that she&#8217;s an SM reject, because she&#8217;s getting a lot of positive attention as a part of <b>YG</b>s 2NE1, and hopefully more money.  <em>(She&#8217;s gotta be happy that she&#8217;s GDs mini <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> troll</span> clone as well.)</em></p>
<p>I enjoyed this performance of &#8220;Last Farewell&#8221; on <b>SBS</b>&#8217;s InkiGayo.  Vocally, Bom carried the whole thing and the dancing was meh.  Thank goodness <b>Big Bang</b>s dances are always fairly simple.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>G-Dragon</strong>s pre-promotions.</p>
<p>And heck am I excited.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8095" title="cyonclops" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cyonclops.jpg" alt="cyonclops" width="375" height="500" /><br />
<em>He can X-ray vision your souls</em></p>
<p><strong>Big Bang</strong> have stopped their Japanese promotions for the time being and Mr. GD is in Korea now preparing for his solo release.</p>
<p>One of my favorite songs that Big Bang have ever released has got to be &#8220;Lies&#8221;, and when I heard that he originally produced it for his solo work, it made me look forward to his own solo endeavours.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been long known that he will be releasing his First Solo album on his birthday on August 18th, and that&#8217;s not too long from now.  He&#8217;s also releasing his album on the same day as producers he knows well, <strong>the Brave Brothers</strong>, who have done a lot of work with YG.  This really does make the end of the summer very exciting with these new albums dropping as the weather is meant to start chilling.  <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>G-Dragons been me2daying <em>(what&#8217;s the me2day alternative to tweets?)</em> as well as his label mates <strong>2NE1</strong>, and I don&#8217;t know about you guys, but I much prefer the Korean alternative.  2ne1s tweets are cool, but when it comes to them, Dara is so my homegirl, I love reading her entries, and I&#8217;m not the only one who thinks so apparently&#8230; She&#8217;s got the most &#8220;friends&#8221; than any other member of the group.</p>
<p>I have enjoyed G-Dragons me2days so far, not for what&#8217;s written but for the pics.  <img src='http://shenyuepop.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8096" title="che" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/che.jpg" alt="che" width="375" height="500" /></p>
<p>Am I the only one that realised that GDs shirt says &#8220;Call 1-800 Troll free&#8221; and he&#8217;s pointing at CL?  LOL!  Now, now, GD I like her the least out of them as well, but no need to call her a troll.  I don&#8217;t know why some people are saying they have chemistry, where the hell is it, if that&#8217;s the case?  O_O</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8097" title="omg" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/omg.jpg" alt="omg" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>I love his puppy!!!  And Sponge bob looks like he&#8217;s about to munch him up, cos he&#8217;s so darn cute.   I don&#8217;t blame him.</p>
<p>And Finally, for his MV he&#8217;ll build up muscles by eating:<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8098" title="synthetic appleses" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/synthetic-appleses.jpg" alt="synthetic appleses" width="375" height="500" /></p>
<p>Synthetic appleses!  Tasty Tasty!</p>
<p>Come on GD, bring it on quick, I&#8217;m getting anxious.</p>
<p>Oh and, um&#8230;. Why does GDs left leg have hair while the right one looks like it&#8217;s freshly waxed?<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8100" title="legsies" src="http://shenyuepop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/legsies.jpg" alt="legsies" width="375" height="500" /></p>
<p>Yay for pink!  And new shoes that look like you&#8217;ve had them for years.  And Louis Vuitton of course.</p>
