...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.
The new "trend" in Kpop right now seems to be skateboards and I'm seeing them all over the place. I think it kinda started when Big Bang's Taeyang was seen at the airport on a skateboard. There's been numerous sightings of him and G-Dragon on skateboards since then:
Taeyang tweeted this pic on July 12
GD tweeted this pic on August 17
All of a sudden I'm seeing them everywhere. Is it just me?
I saw Zelo on a skateboard in B.A.P's new mv, "Crash":
A member of rookie group C-Clown is seen riding a skateboard early on in their mv for their new song "Solo". He's also seen trying to smash a flaming one into a wall:
Teen Top is on skateboards in their "Be Ma Girl" mv:
There are skateboarders in B2ST's (or BEAST) "Beautiful Night" mv (good song btw):
And of course the skater on the "G" half pipe and G-Dragon's customized Chrome Hearts skateboard in the "One of a Kind" mv (watch the mv here):
This is just from the videos I can remember seeing off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more.
What do you guys think of this trend? Will Kpop beat it to death until we never want to see another one again in our lives? Have you seen any other skateboard action in other videos? Let me know and I'll be sure to credit you.
I don't mind the skateboards. It even inspires me to mix up some K-Pop with Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi" (which is a fun song, now that enough time has passed since it was seriously overplayed). Also, GD looks badass in that pic. I would love to see him do a video with no makeup and simple hip hop clothes- it would be an interesting way to change it up.
I didn't notice the skateboard thing before this, BUT I was flipping through the US September issue of Vogue and there's an article about designer skateboards. Like Diane von Furstenberg, Thakoon, Alexander Wang, etc. So serious fashion. I think this explains GD + skateboards. The rest of them, idk.

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!

ReplyDeleteI totally don't mind them either... I just find it funny when everyone jumps on a bandwagon.

ReplyDeleteAhhh of course. I'd seen a few designer skateboards last year in a blog post but I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder! :)
ReplyDeleteZelo's always on a skateboard it's his "energy source."
ReplyDeleteI did not know that! Thanks for the info.
