Oddness/Weirdness

My title pretty much encompasses how I felt about SHINee finally winning something for " Everybody ".  They took home the gold goblet on Show Champion yesterday and I was all "YAYYYYYY!" and "Phew!" :wipes brow:  I'm just going to post all the good videos + some pics here for ya and I've even got some English subs, because Shawols are (as usual) awesome.

I'm doing 2 videos at the same time again, because why not?  This time I'm honing in on EXO 's new " Growl " video and Henry Lau 's just released mv for " 1-4-3 (I Love You) featuring f(x)'s Amber Liu .

Guest Blogger Week continues with a post from my good chingu Stormy of Under the Radar! , who I've known for awhile.  In fact, she (along with Stephe of CloudUSA ) was instrumental in my decision to start blogging, so thanks guys! :hugs: Stormy is an avid music lover and die hard Shawol who got into Jpop in 2007, segued into Kpop in 2009 and hasn't looked back since.  Stormy started out writing for her blog   My Music Radar!  but has taken a brief hiatus from there for medical reasons and is currently blogging on her Tumblr  Under the Radar! .   She hopes to return to  My Music Radar!  soon, so look out for that.

2012 was an interesting year for me and Oddness/Weirdness blog.  A lot of good things happened to me last year, blogging-wise, and I wanted to share my good fortune with you guys in a year- end post.

I know that some of my readers, and many Kpop fans in general, don't celebrate Christmas.  For the ones that do, I wanted to wish everyone a happy and fun Christmas from Oddness/Weirdness!  As they'd say in Korea, eat well and stay warm and dry and be safe!  For the ones that don't, I know I'm a bit late but Happy belated Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa if you celebrate that and Happy Holidays in general. Here are some Kpop Christmas videos for your enjoyment: cr.  jaycee-pocky

As I mentioned last week , I've been noticing that people are looking to dress like Amber Liu from f(x).  In fact, two of the most popular posts on this blog have to do with Amber's fashion ( Idol Style  & Electric Shock  Shoe Porn ).  So today I'm showing you lovely readers how to translate Amber's super boyish style from stage to street.

SMTown Artists Super Junior, Super Junior M, f(x), SHINee, & EXO made their way back from SMTown III in Tokyo, Japan today. As you can see, I love airport fashion.  So many idols try so hard to look effortless that it can be a sight to behold.  Some do it right, like some of the idols you'll see here, and some do it really wrong (like Super Junior's Leeteuk, who wore the exact same thing  to travel there and back)  Who's style do you like the best?  Missed them on the way to Tokyo?  Click here and here .  Be sure to watch the video at the end to see how insane it is for these stars when they're out and about.

I've been noticing quite a few people have come to Oddness/Weirdness to find out how to dress like f(x)'s ,Amber Liu so I thought I'd put together a post about that very subject. Coming Soon!

In my daily wanderings around and about the 'net, I happened to notice that quite a few people were on the lookout for the shoes f(x) wore in their "Electric Shock" mv.   Studs AND the British flag?  Krystal's shoes are pretty bad-ass.

SM Entertainment released f(x)'s Electric Shock mv today and I'm excited for f(x) but underwhelmed by this mv.

f(x) is releasing "Electric Shock" on June 10th through various music websites and the physical album will hit stores on June 13.  The album will consist of 6 tracks, including the title track "Electric Shock". I'm enthused about f(x)'s comeback even though, based off of their teaser medley, I'm not sure if I'll like all the songs.  F(x) usually comes back with a cute song/choreo so we'll wait and see. What are your thoughts on the medley and the album concept?  The whole animal thing is pretty weird but hey... it's SM Entertainment.  What else would you expect?

SMTOWN L.A. 120520- I added as many good fancams as I could find! Enjoy. :) f(x) rehearsing Nu Abo

Finally a pic of Amber! I'm pretty sure Amber is NOT faking her androgyny.

I decided to blog about Amber from f(x) because she's not your typical Kpop princess: she's a tomboy and she's proud of it.  If you're thinking she only dresses like that because SMentertainment wants her to, guess again.  There are pics of her pre-trainee days dressed and looking pretty much the same.   In fact, when I first saw a pic of her just hanging out with some Kpop boys, I thought she was a boy... She's definitely not afraid of walking around without makeup in a world where idol guys would rather die than be seen without their faces on.  Gotta love her for staying true to herself in a highly pressurized world.   Go on with your bad self, Amber. Name: Amber Josephine Liu Nickname: Typical Accomplishments: Rapper for the Kpop group f(x), known for her atypical boyish look in a sea of cookie cutter girlie girls.  She's often called part of the Dino triplets with Super Junior's Donghae and Shinee's Jonghyun.
