Oddness/Weirdness

It's official!   SHINee 's Pt. 2 to " Chapter 1. Dream Girl- Misconceptions of You " will be released this month.  There's been some changes though, so read on.

I've been away for a few days; sorry about that...  I'm back now and I come bearing gifts!  Here's some more SHINee for your viewing pleasure, and this time I've got their episode of KBS 's " Hello " and Mnet 's " Beatles Code ".  As usual, watch ( or download ... shhh!) quickly before they get deleted.  Also as usual, I'll be updating these with English subbed versions as soon as I find them. Fyi, I've been looking for " SHINee's Wonderful Day " episode 4 English subbed and I have not found it anywhere.  If you do find it, be sure to leave me a link in the  comments or in email (click on Contact Me at the top of the blog). Edited to add: Beatles Code English subbed.

I've got Stormy  of MyMusicRadar ! here with another Another Odd Opinion piece, because this lady is so opinionated.  This time she's talking about SHINee and wondering what's going on with them.... You'll see what I mean if you read on. Has SHINee Peaked? Let's play "Can SHINee Top This?" Written by: StormofStarzz,  MyMusicRadar!

It's been revealed today that SHINee will be releasing the 1st teaser for their upcoming sequel to " Chapter 1: Dream Girl- The Misconceptions of You " on April 22nd.  Yes!  Not that far from now.  A second image teaser was also revealed.  Read on for more info:

Hey Shawols!  As I'm SURE YOU KNOW, SHINee performed their new songs " Everybody " and " Symptoms " at the SHINee Comeback Special showcase that was held earlier today during the Gangnam Hallyu Festival .  I woke up at the crack of dawn to watch it with some other Shawols but the stream was SO laggy (on account of some no good real time chat spammers) that I wanted to scream.  (we still had fun though).  I know the same thing happened to most people that were trying to view it so I didn't feel too bad, but I wanted to see my SHINee dammit!  So here's the next best thing.  I scoured the 'net for the best HQ fancams, videos and pics I could find and I'm posting them all here.  Enjoy; I certainly will. (This post is image and video heavy)

SHINee is about to comeback with " Dream Girl " so it's safe to assume we'll be seeing them in tons of magazines to come.  The first of these would be Nylon Korea , who made them look like stylish yet innocent boys next door, and then asked them some probing questions that they seemed to answer pretty honestly (especially Onew ).  Enjoy the HQ scans, BTS video and interview with English translation below.

SHINee 's " Everybody " album came out last night while I laid in bed, too tired after a long day to blog about it even if I wanted to.  I did make sure to do some squasping as I downloaded and listened to the album in full before I fell asleep.  Now I'm finally here with all the album art and track for your viewing and listening pleasure.  Take a look:

Those fabulous SHINee boys, ahem... men... have officially released their mv for " Why So Serious ?", as well as the album " Why So Serious? The Misconceptions of Me ".  Are you excited?  I know I am.

By: Joan M. My favorite new kpop expression is fan service—the idea that idols will go the extra mile to make their fans happy.  And for me there’s no better fan service than spending 12-plus hours watching talented and personable kpop stars acting in a kdrama.  When you’re already a fan, it can make the viewing experience much more entertaining.

Love CL 's " The Baddest Female " or hate it, you have to admit the girl can perform the hell out of a song.  She did just that on her first solo Inkigayo comeback stage, which took place on June 2nd, and if you've watched it already, you should watch it again:

SHINee continued on with their music show appearances this weekend and even though they haven't won anything for "Why So Serious?" yet, we're still rooting for them to do so.  Let's see what else they were up to, shall we?

 Yesterday SHINee  Triple Crown-ed it on Show Champion (amongst other things), today they did the deed on M! Countdown .  Congrats, guys! The sky's the limit for these fab boys, don't you think?  Their talent and drive to win cannot be disputed and it's showing in their domination of the charts and the music shows. Let's watch, shall we?

Yessssss!  SHINee won their first music show on MBC Show Champion today, just like I knew they were going to.  What an awesome thing to wake up to, right?  Take a look at their performances of "Beautiful" and "Dream Girl" below, and also the encore stage.  Now they just need to triple crown it and they're golden.  Daebak!

I'm back!   But only kind of today because my first foray back into blogging is a guest post.  Did I hear someone say "But whyyyy??" from here?  Well, I happen to think you'll like this one a lot.  This post is by Kat , Associate Writer extraordinaire for Korea.com , who I met in the comments of this here blog and promptly befriended.  We bonded over SHINee belts... don't ask.  Anyway, Kat is here to give you an in depth view into why we all like Kpop and also to give you a way to explain it to those pesky non-Kpop lovers. Did You Just Ask Why I Love K-Pop? Others: You like K-Pop? What, like that Sigh guy?" Me: Yeah! Others: But I’m so sick of hearing that gang -nam song, such a one-hit wonder. Me: Actually Psy has been a significant figure in the Korean music industry for over 12 years now and he has produced a lot of really fantastic music during that time… Nope, I’ve lost them. I guess it's understandable how people associate K-Pop to

SHINee 's " Everybody " image teaser was released today and I've pretty much been freaking out all day over here because this is the SHINee I've been wanting ever since " Lucifer ".  I've also been wanting something like this ever since SMent announced a Dark!SHINee concept for " Why So Serious " and then didn't follow through (those bastards!).  SHINee in more high fashion plus a ton of awesome jewelry??  What more could this fashion enthusiast ask for?

What a sad day for Shawols.  It's sad because the the last episode of SHINee's Wonderful Day was released... :sniffle:  No more cuteness... Aigoo!  What to do with myself now?  Actually, it's probably a good thing that SHINee's part 2 to "Dream Girl", "Misconceptions of Me " will be released shortly, because we'll soon have something else to spazz about.  As for now, let's go watch:

What with SHINee coming back with " Dream Girl " and all, I totally forgot to update y'all with parts 2 and 3 of " SHINee's Wonderful Day ".  You can watch part 1 (aka the Lunar New Years Special)  here if you haven't already done so.  Have fun and watch (or download) quickly before it gets deleted.

It's party time my Shawol friends, because SHINee will be making a comeback with their 5th mini album on October 14th!  This album is entitled " Everybody " and it will be their 3rd Korean comeback of the year.  You know what that means, right?   No more striped cardigans or khakis , that's what!  Yesssss! Taemin  TaeMAN's guyliner-ed beauty of a teaser pic is below for your edification and enjoyment.  Once you tear your eyes away from that, please do read on for a bit of fangirling:

I have no words. Ok I lied... I really do.   SHINee won with " Dream Girl " on Show Champion , which makes them the first artist to win four times on the show.  That's right... ever.  I'm so happy for these boys, because they are snatching wigs left and right.  If you're not up on that gay slang, this pretty much means that your faves could never and all that good stuff.  I have HD video of all their cuts from today's Show Champion for you so enjoy!

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.
