...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
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
It has come to my attention that people are confused as hell about EXO 's " Wolf " and " Growl " drama version MVs, and have been since they came out. Well, it's your lucky day, because I'm here to explain the shit out of them for you, in the way I know best: I'm going to tell you a little story. Fyi, this will be done in two parts, so bear with me.
Infinite released their mv of "The Chaser" today and I'm particularly enthused because, while I don't consider myself a part of their fandom, I do think they're one of the most talented not-so-newbie-anymore groups out there.
What I like: I really like the song quite a bit and can't wait to see them perform it live. I've noticed that sometimes you can't really tell how epic the choreography is in their non-dance version videos, so I'll say it looks like it's gonna be awesome as usual.
As for the song, it strikes me as so '80s that when I heard the first 14 seconds of the studio version, I almost thought I was listening to a Depeche Mode song. They added to the beginning of the song to fit the video but you can still hear that part around mark :57 of the video if you want to know what I'm talking about. Depeche Mode is my ultimate favorite band so I'm definitely not complaining about that. Co-opting '80s musical styles seems to kind of be Infinite's deal so more power to them.
What I dislike: The video itself seems disjointed and a bit unnecessary. I'm not sure why I needed to see Sungjong pick up a key or L making constipated faces while the car he's in is endlessly flipping. If there's a concept, it was lost in the editing room and that's a shame, seeing as their other videos have been really well done and interesting, especially "Nothing's Over".
I'll be waiting for their comeback stages, where I'm sure Infinite will astound me with their synchronicity and ability to sing so well while dancing so hard.

SHINee was on KBS's Music Bank today for the show's 700th Anniversary Special . The boys performed a special stage of their forever classic " Replay ", along with " Why So Serious? " and if you haven't at least watched the "Replay" stage, you should. Take a look:
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!
