Everyone is talking about it and I thought I would join the flock.

Epik Highs Tablo has finally tied the knot with his girlfriend and mother of his coming child Kang HyeJung!

I love this shot

I want that cake

Congratulations to the couple who have already headed off for their honeymoon! They look sincerely happy and I wish them the best of luck!

As usual a celebrity wedding is a star studded event and peoples outfits make you wonder if they think Weddings are a casual event, but this year I picked out one outfit that made me worried for a talented celeb.

I was kidding before when I said that Ha Jiwon is homeless, but you would think after the amount of moolah her last super hit movie Haeundae made she would buy herself something purdy.

Yet it seems like one of our favorite method actresses has been caught red handed rummaging through the “Take Care of Lady” closet and stole an outfit Yoon EunHye was wearing earlier on in the Drama Series.

KBS should tighten security.

That CL was never really born a human being.

This photo shoot has been out for a while but I will not pass up an opportunity to critique it.

For “W” magazine the 2NE1 girls were made to dress up in a “gangster” theme, although it’s obvious only one person really looked at home with the “weaponry” it didn’t make things any less interesting for the group as a whole.

My favorite of the shoot, CL of course.

With all that major Photo shop I thought she was Hyori.

Now, tell me you don’t see a very important part of the human body missing? It seems that CL does not own a bellybutton making her never really “born”, prompting me to come to my very own unlikely theories.

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 “Chemical X”, thus coming to life as YGs resident female rapper. To be more accurate her clone label is actually GM for “Genetically Modified”. 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?

The rest didn’t pull off the bad ass weapon look better than CL, mind you she is the one most likely to have a criminal record.

Minjy is working the hair and attire but looks extremely awkward with the cowboy gun..

Shoot the other fella and not your feet cowgirl

Bom looks like she’ll rip you a new pair with that look…

You don’t look so badass with the Taj Mahal tattooed on your back though

Dara looks like Andre Kims South African cousin..

Staying up late had it’s toll on her

Your thoughts?

Or better yet, what is your MAMA?

The Mnet Asian Music Awards.

After the sudden and somewhat shocking announcement that the MKMFs were coming to a close after their 10 year anniversary celebration last year, many people were left wondering what would take the place of the dodgy but youth representative end of year Award show. It had been full of plenty of controversies over the years, my favorite, Lee MinWoo throwing a tantrum and leaving JYP to stand on stage looking like a lonely freak show act (or more accurately have that performance cancelled, I prefer my turn of events albeit delusional). Many people thought that some companies could “buy” awards and that the “rules” were only followed for Mnets best interest.

Well that reputation ends and Mnet is trying to renew things with a new stupidly named award show. MAMA is what they’re marketing it as. When I was online a week ago on Naver search, I was wondering why on Earth people wanted to know what MAMA was. Only to leave myself thinking it must be a lot of people on remedial English class. But then when I bothered to check today, I found it as the replacement show.

I don’t know why Mnet would cancel MKMF (except for the controversy but every show has their share, perhaps it will give birth to Korea’s own Kanye West? A K-Blogger can only dream), but all eyes on this baby till it finally airs.

Last years ceremony was a mess and looked rushed, unorganised and sorta cheap so hopefully MAMA will be a better and more entertaining offering. Mnet if you need any help I have a whole list of improvements for you ready at a moments notice.

Anyhow Mnet has not really started things on a mature note, they’ve gotten peoples feathers ruffled with their JaeBom marketing strategies. LOL.

“We want him there!”  Is what they’re screaming.  Making fans think that perhaps JaeBom will be making his comeback on their stage.  And a comeback seems somewhat likely and unlikely according to JYPE.  But then again JYPE don’t really say much so JaeBom showing up anywhere is really possible but not possible at the same time (see what I did there?).

I don’t really care for their strategies to get people watching, but I am wondering on one thing.  Is Mnet sticking to their 9 month ban on SM Entertainment artists?  If that’s the case will they also opt for the “no show- no award” rule?  So even if you vote for an SM artist they wont win?  I imagine it would be a better show all round though, what with all the controversies surrounding SM artists now, as Martha would say  “it’s a good thing.”  That and everyone else will have a better evening and a shot at winning (since SM are up there with the buying trophies controversies).

So who is your MAMA?

There’s six guys out to get you!

They’re gonna get ya!

B2ST, who I always read as Beast (don’t blame me they put a two in their name which in Korean is pronounced as “ee”), will be debuting soon a long side rivals (already?) MBLAQ. And like MBLAQ they have a ridiculously stupid name.

oh the horrible outfits

Get this, it stands for “Boys to search for TOP” (you should have gotten that by now), and Big Bangs resident rapper should run to the hills to hide away from these boys who practice their ninja skills in underground tunnels. They seem determined, look at their practice video for TOPs capture here:

I got bored, real quick.

And at least get a clean version CUBE Entertainment. Kiddies, put it on mute

I don’t know what to really expect but I know the guy, formerly known as AJ, has some decent dance moves and looks like TaeYang.  Also, one guy used to be from Big Bang, so he has reason to hunt him down, goodness knows why… T.O.P do you owe anyone moneys?

From their MTV show

The group is full of people that failed to make it first time round, so rejects that have passion baby. And knowing people that didn’t get in first time can still prove to be talented and very very determined, I’m keeping an eye on these fellas. There’s an ex-Xing member, ex Big Bang, ex soloist and two ex- hot blooded boys.. So, an already existing fanbase, nice idea.

With Child of Empire (by the ingenious Star Empire E) coming out soon there should be a lot of boys to keep the girls happy, the boys had their fun earlier this year.

And I really want to write an angry complaint letter to all these production companies with bad names for their groups. It’s getting annoying already, make sense if you’re gonna use English! GAH!

MBLAQ which stands for ‘Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality’…. I know, wtf…?  Or if you prefer MBLAH, Music boys love in absolute harmony (Now that’s a manga group name to be proud of). Jtunes, which always sounded like a cartoon company to me, AKA Senior Rains companys’ little boy group project will be debuting officially soon.

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. (The ex-member will be crying his eyes out in a year or twos time and be debuting in a group like B2ST, haha.  Them and their DA-DA-DANCING SHOooEs…. A.J. changed his name cos of Paran fans and now I don’t know what he is anymore .)

Back on track, I am not talking about Bae ChulYoung aka Mil or whatever (Go EunAhs’ little brother) but ChanDong (Park SangHyun)…

Have you guessed who yet?

Sandara Park of 2NE1 tiny and long little brother. Who kinda looks like Kim JongHoon of U.N. It’s probably the lip gloss and the poutiness.

Since I couldn’t tell who from who, (except the guy with a moustache and peekaboo chest hair, yay for differentiation), we’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’m looking at you Taemin and little guy who debuted at 13, where are you anyway?

They showcased their dancing and singing abilities as Rains opening acts for his “Legend of Rainism” tour. Does he really want that title, really?  Well when you read the song titles of MBLAQ you’ll get that ‘Legend of Rainism‘ is the best of the lot. Their two songs are “Oh YEAH!” and “Good Love”, as in “OH YEAH! for the GOOD LOVE of God change our name”. 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…

WHERE IN THE MANGA HAVE THEY FOUND THESE GUYS?! And if you have a “Manga to Human” machine goodness knows I could use it. I’m hoping its not just photo shop and angles working their magic cos they tend to make you blink and stare.

They all look like they’re the same guy with small differences, those jaw lines and those noses and eyes… Just like the Manga Lord made them.

Not that I’m really that shallow but some nice eye candy wouldn’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!

Watch them go “Oh Yeah” back and forth and back and forth and those long legs and bodies are making them seem even more Manga like.

Hey Rain, I’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’s to hoping they don’t disappoint and they have personalities as well as looks.

Oh yeah and some talent too.

That sums up my thoughts on this clip.

Is JaeSuk wearing leftovers from a flower float on a parade day?

Awesome duo Yoo JaeSuk and Park MyungSoo got together for a parody of Baek JiYoungs latest hit featuring 2Pms TaecYeon, “My Ears Candy”.

Check it out for yourselves:

If only the original was as sexy as this.  LOL.

For the organisers that is.

You would think that after 10+ years the DC people would figure out how to get this done, flawlessly.

But before we get to my ranting, here are some pics from the show from Newsen, and yes I do enjoy going there to secretly watch the “Come to Thailand” ad with music, damn is that song catchy.  Ahem and in no particular order….

2AM sang “this song”, not that song, just this one.

Kara rocking the stage or wiping invisible windshields?

Big Bang back in action as a quintet, volunteering to wash cars for Kara…

f(x) making sure that the most awkward yet experienced member is most visible.  That’s you Victoria!

Sorry Sorry Super Junior forgot KangIn but brought along Kibum? REALLY?! Or am I just seeing things?

Restrain the beast!  2Pm looked lonely and missing a lot of passion without leader JaeBom.

4minute boogied down with their sexy muzic, while looking not so sexy…

I got bored saving individual group/artist pics so I saved this one…

A part from the fact that DC was delayed for over 4 months, which doesn’t give the organisers any excuses to have faults, there were some cancellations and controversial decisions made by the DC team.

Originally the show is in the early summer months but with sponsorship problems it had to be postponed to after the summer. If my memory serves me right DC was a free show but apparently this year you had to pay for your tickets.

Adding to that, the headliners DBSK had to cancel due to their legal issues with SM Entertainment (Slave Management E to me and you), 2PM were made to perform with 6 members although there is so much hullaballoo with the company and fans (They’re boycotting!). DC also didn’t keep their promise about making DC a more family event and not Idol centric. (Who are they kidding?)

The stars showed up late (what do you expect when your known as pushovers?), the show ended up starting late and a lot of reporters and photographers ended up leaving early.

And have I been hibernating but I was pretty sure that ELF (Super Junior fans), were not very happy with Super Junior M at all… So why include them in the lineup?

And what an insult to 2AM fans to add them at the last minute when the show was sold out. Ouch.

At least DaeSung showed up last minute for Big Bang but they wont be shown on TV as well as 2PM…

Honestly, I wasn’t planning on catching this thing altogether, the only performance I wanted to watch was 2PMs and that was out of sheer curiosity, yet that won’t be aired.  Lucky we have crappy fancams, eh? =_=

Highlight of the whole debacle though? The 40,000 strong crowd chanting 2PM leader Park JaeBums name before 2PM took the stage and as they started performing their hit single “Again and Again”. Total win. And if JYPE don’t bring back the leader after that, they are officially the second idiotic entertainment company in South Korea…. SM still owns them at that, at least.  On the other hand, the longer they let people linger and let the 2PM fans boycott and give them free publicity with events, they could be milking it for all its worth and in result get the most money back when they announce his comeback. 

I must also say that I’m mighty impressed with the 2PM fans and their charity work and persistance.  Work it peeps.

I guess DC is great at one thing, and that is making Dream Concert the most hyped and most controvercial show each year.  Last year we had fans protesting against a group but this year we had fans protesting for a group… And I guess that is an improvement. 

Here’s hoping next year Dream Concert has better organisers and sponsors!

I had always known that she had gotten work down but seeing it all put together is just….. IN YOUR FACE LIKE WHOAH!

The Evolution of Han YeSul (Real name Kim YeSul)

Though I thought she was a pretty girl to start off with, dude, can minor (’minor’ being the key word here) differences (And some good styling/make up) really change an appearance… Look at how REOW she is now

I love this lady, plastic or no plastic, but I gotta say this… Dayum, you can really tell who gets their work done cheap when you compare them to someone who obviously dished out the cash. Sister YeSul needs to direct some senoritas in Kpop to her doctor (Believe me, you’ll know who… they tend to all look alike with the amount of cheap surgery they do), he/she makes it look natural. Which is, believe it or not, the trend with Plastic Surgery these days LOL. How ironic.

What with all the hubbub surrounding DBSK with the court case, one member hasn’t been accounted for.

We all had our theories where he’s been (I thought he was probably hiking in Japan donning intense facial hair as a disguise with his dad) and we’ll never truly know what he was up to… Unless you’re a fan with that info, unfortunately I don’t actually bother in getting all the details, so I make up my own theories.

Don’t know who I’m talking about? It’s Xiah Junsu.

Yunho has been acting in his drama with Go ARa “Heading to the Ground” (I hope it wasn’t a premonition about the ratings, hooha!).

ChangMin has his own drama in the works with SMs other actress that wasn’t tied up with Yunhos drama, Lee YeonHee.

JaeJoong and Yoochun have a single out in Japan that’s recently been topping the charts.

And no ones told us what Dolphin boy was up to…

So, is it a cardboard cutout, really good animatronics, awesome lookalike or the boy himself? You decide.

With that look on his face, I’m assuming the most likely theory is probably true… Poor Junsu was sent to Lee SooMans KangNam lair to smush grapes up for his custom wines… Someone should take off his socks to check if they’re maroon.

Those pics are from the Mirotic ShangHai concert on the 2nd and it went along without incident except for a specific alien friend that was sent to the hospital for minor head wounds…

JaeJoong I know you like your photo ops but I think you dropped your little friend ET on your way up…

Yay for lame jokes!

And on another note, I hope everyone had a wonderful Chuseok and that you haven’t been extra exploited in this holiday by being female and getting dressed in men’s clothing for extra exposure!! D:

Victoria on the far left has an egg head :O and Krystal in the middle looks a little like Yoon EunHye

G-Dracogon eat your heart out

This is writer Lee OiSu AKA G-Randpa

He looks super fantabulous in his fall street look aimed for the older generation. Frankly, its not a look anyone can pull off, but he does it with sheer class (In fact some netizens think he pulls it off better than Big Bang, HAH!).

LOL, I really can’t help smiling looking at these pictures, I love me a man with a sense of humour, and damn it, if he was a few dozen years younger, G-Randpa would so be on my arm right now.

Do you dig?
