Big Bang is Still Killing It...

By
...and they haven't even released their album yet.  Craziness. I told myself yesterday that I was going to relax on the Big Bang posts for a bit because I was starting to feel like a Big Bang fansite, not that that's a bad thing.  THEN... they release something like this: "Bad Boy" teaser- Source:  BIGBANG

EXO Is Always At The Airport: A Fashion Retrospective

By
It's true.... The members of EXO-K and EXO-M are ALWAYS at the airport.  I'm never sure where they're going or what they're going to be doing when they get there, but I'm forever seeing the pics.  There's often some major fashion moments taking place in these pics; some good, some bad but always notable.  Enjoy: This post is image heavy

Video of the Day: Lee Hyori's "Miss Korea"

Image
By
On May 5th the Queen of Kpop, Miss Lee Hyori, staged an aptly titled "comeback" with a new preview single off of her upcoming album.   After being away from the music scene for three whole years, Hyori has managed to surprise and delight me with this fantastic black and white mv for her new song "Miss Korea".


Lee Hyori Miss Korea mv 1


Miss Hyori is giving me a little bit of "Single Ladies" mixed with The Supremes in this mv, and it works.  Also, drag queens!

Lee Hyori Miss Korea mv 2

Loving it!

I applaud her for not conforming to the Dubstep Mafia, which has been running the Kpop show for awhile now.  Don't get me wrong, I love a good dubstep tune but it's nice to hear something fresh and new, even when it comes in the guise of this nouveau-retro sound and look.

It's also nice to see this 33 year old woman take it upon herself to show the people of her country that over 30 is fabulous too.  Did you notice all the scalpels and drills pointing at her face in the mv?

This song is about being confident in your womanhood and not conforming to unrealistic beauty standards.

Miss Korea translation:

Hey pretty lady in that glass mirror
Is something wrong? You look tired

Are you tired of being among the many names?
Is your confidence down because of your unclear future?

I don’t want to hang on and cry over something so little
Like a springtime illusion that’ll disappear after I wake up

Because I’m a Miss Korea
I’m the best girl in the world
Anyone can fall for me at once
Because I’m a Miss Korea

Because I’m a Miss Korea
I’m the coolest girl in the world
Anyone can be shocked when they find out
Because I’m a Miss Korea

Will a designer bag make me shine?
Will I be able to do anything I want if I become pretty?

I don’t want to hang on and cry over something so little
Like a springtime illusion that’ll disappear after I wake up

Because I’m a Miss Korea
I’m the best girl in the world
Anyone can fall for me at once
Because I’m a Miss Korea

Because I’m a Miss Korea
I’m the coolest girl in the world
Anyone can be shocked when they find out
Because I’m a Miss Korea

Because I’m a Miss Korea
I’m the best girl in the world
Anyone can fall for me at once
Because I’m a Miss Korea

Because I’m a Miss Korea
I’m the coolest girl in the world
Anyone can be shocked when they find out
Because I’m a Miss Korea

Are others eyes that important?
Does it feel like it’s your fault when something goes bad?
No, it’s not like that, come here, it’ll be okay
You’re Miss Korea

Brava, Miss Hyori!

I look forward to seeing what else she has in store for us.

What did you think of the "Miss Korea" mv and song?

Full Scans + Interview From G-Dragon's Incredible Vogue Korea 17th Anniversary Editorial

By
Ok I knew that G-Dragon 's editorial for Vogue Korea's 17th Anniversary would be amazing but these kind of exceeded my expectations.  I am in awe of the depth and clarity of Hong Jang Hyun 's photographs and of the stylist's vision.  The makeup artists did a great job too.  I'm not saying I like them more than I like GD's 2009 Vogue Korea editorial but they come pretty close, especially the first photos, which I'm calling "G-Dragon in high fashion grunge Rivendell" (where the elves lived in Lord of the Rings ?  No?  Alright, I'll admit I'm kind of a nerd).  Scroll down for scans of all 32 images and the full interview translation.  You're welcome!
