Oddness/Weirdness

Day 3 of Guest Blogger Week is here and today we're all about SHINee 's Minho and his fine self.  I've been meaning to do a fashion post about him for the longest time, so I was very happy to get this one in my email.  Behold, an ode to Minho's style: Dibidibidis, My Name is Minho: A Fashion Appreciation Post SHINee , since their debut, has always been prefaced by ‘contemporary’ to their name.  Meant to signify the group’s experimental take on K-Pop, SHINee’s fashion, like their music, always been trendy and attention grabbing. But what about when they’re not onstage?  Self-professed fashion lover Key is the most prominent style-wise, taking selfies with House of Holland designer HenryHolland and chilling with Carri Munden of Cassette Playa . Conversely, as arguably the most publicly recognized face in SHINee, Minho ’s fashion sense has been overlooked. Which is interesting but understandable: where are your eyes going to linger in this ...

All the cute, guys, all the cute!  That's all I could think today as I watched the videos and fancams from G-Dragon and Seungri 's (featuring special guest Taeyang ) Inkigayo appearance today.  GD has looked super happy recently, and I swear part of it has to do with the fact that he's been promoting alongside Seungri. RiRi sure does bring out GD's silly side, which is a good thing because he was starting to depress me a bit with all that "I look exhausted" business.  It's also quite nice to see him not try to look cool and chic once in awhile, so I was doubly sad to hear that today was Seungri's goodbye stage. Alright guys, so many videos and pics to look at!  Get started below:

Last night I was watching one of my favorite shows ever, So You Think You Can Dance , when dancer Mark Kanemura (one of Lady Gaga 's main backup dancers) decided to give his choreography some  2NE1 fierceness.  That's right, there was 2NE1 on national tv in the U.S. last night!  :insert fangirling gif here:

SHINee's Key looked chic and fresh as he attended the Bonnie and Clyde press conference today, alongside his fellow castmates.  I like that Key decided to wear pink and white to the press con, since he always looks great in that color.  This outfit is a very toned down version of normal Key-wear but he rocks it well, as usual.

It's been an interesting ride from 2008 'til now.  I've enjoyed watching SHINee's Onew morph from a supposedly shy hoodie wearing boy that tried his hardest to be inconspicuous to The Man Of A Thousand Clutches.  He's said it himself; he's paying more attention to fashion and skincare and it definitely shows. Onew has gone from thick to thin, short hair to long, innocent to sexy and everything in between.  Sometimes he's even a combination of both.  I like my Jinki almost anyway I can get him.  Which version do you prefer?

So YG Entertainment decided not to troll us for once because they released 2NE1 's " Do You Love Me " on time.  Can you imagine?  The song is pretty good, I must say, and the choreography is cute.  Let's watch:

Last week, Big Bang's  Taeyang  headed on over to Paris to take in a few shows at  Men's SS 2014 Fashion Week .  This was kind of a surprise, seeing as this is usually G-Dragon 's deal, but good for him!  It was nice to see another Big Bang member in the spotlight. Since  I've made no secret of my dislike of Youngbae 's style in the past year  (with his over usage of bandanna print and his love of too-big-for-his-frame clothing), it's pretty obvious why I was a little worried.  Would he wear something embarrassing like an all over scarf print jump suit, a lá CL 's " Baddest Female " mv ?  Would he wear something even worse?  Welllll... yes and no. Taeyang wearing Givenchy and Kenzo at the Kenzo show, 130629.

I'm usually fawning over G-Dragon's style on this blog but today I had to take a step back and wonder what the hell he was thinking when he woke up and chose his outfit for the day.  This outfit looks like a hodgepodge of pieces thrown on just to have something to cover his body, but you know what?  I'm quite sure he picked each piece for maximum effect.  Behold G-Dragon's airport style for today, as he came back from Japan:

G-Dragon recently teamed up with Glaceu Vitamin Water to be their most recent spokesperson and has already released a series of commercials for the brand.  Next up for GD ?  A Cosmopolitan   Magazine spread (and interview) featuring him as what I take to be a mad scientist, cooking up some of that good old Vitamin Water.

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that G-Dragon is one stylish mother f-er.  When on stage, or out promoting, G-Dragon's outfits can veer from moderately outlandish to extreme eccentricity; he's in your face and he likes it that way.  But when he's out and about, hitting up those invitation only parties as GD , or at the airport as plain old Kwon Ji Yong, he's a tad bit more subdued... up to a point. Today is all about off-duty G-Dragon, but I like him any which way.  How about you?

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

On May 29, GD and YB , along with their good friends 2NE1 , showed up to the opening of the new Chrome Hearts  in Shinsegae department store in Seoul today.  This was a VIP only event, so only the coolest of the cool were in attendance. This post is image heavy.

Today Minho and Key of SHINee attended the grand opening of a new flagship department store in Seoul called H:Connect .  Apparently it was a big deal, as other Kpop and K-drama stars also  were paid to  decided to attend the shindig.  The guys were looking quite fresh in their H:Connect brand spring duds, with Minho rocking his ever-present breton stripe preppy look.  Key also managed to pull together one of his ultra trendy outfits with these basic pieces.  It's all in how you wear it. They know how to hold "the pose" so well.

G-Dragon was spotted shopping on the streets of Harajuku, Japan the other day and I was instantly captivated by his outfit.  You know I love me some of GD 's style but he really  made me do a triple take with this one.  I'm referring to this high/low shirt dress and leggings combo he was sporting on April 10th: GD on Instagram: 겨울이가고봄이찾아오죠 Trans: Winter is gone, spring has arrived (Lyrics from Blue)

Yesterday I talked about SHINee at Seoul Fashion Week , but today I'm bringing you some  G-Dragon .   GD hit up designer Kathleen Hanhee Kye 's F/W 2013 fashion show on March 28th for her brand, KYE .  He took with him 2NE1 's CL and his bffs model Lee Soo Hyuk and  2NE1 's former stylist  Yang Seung Ho (aka Yangaeng ).  Check it:

For the K-pop elite, Seoul Fashion Week can be a place to see and be seen and this spring is no exception. We know SHINee 's Key is a regular at Seoul Fashion Week (click here for Key and others at last spring's F/W shows), but this time Minho and Taemin also came out to play. Key started out the festivities by hitting up two shows.  First he attended the Kim Seo Ryong Homme show, in which big name model/actor Kim Woobin (of " School 2013 " fame) walked the runway.

2013 continues being The Year Of The Kpop Scandal , as one of the supposed angels of Kpop turned out to be The Devil Incarnate™... or just a regular guy.  Yes I'm talking about Onew from SHINee .

INFINITE 's " Man In Love " mv just came out, which means that my other faves are back, y'all.  Am I excited or what??  Take a look at the mv for their new song because you might want to do some squee-ing over how cute it is:

G -Dragon updated his Instagram and LINE accounts today with pics of him wearing a hoodie and plaid by a brand called Pyrex Vision .  Wondering why he's facing backwards so resolutely in both pics?  Check it out: ¥$£ #gd #oneofakind #ygstudio #pyrex #bape

Ok so this SHINee editorial in the April issue of Star1 is something else.  They're all looking incredible, but what's up with Onew nowadays?  He usually looks great but he's been looking especially fine these past few weeks.  Take a look and let me know what you thought in the comments below: (click to enlarge)
