Oddness/Weirdness

I've amassed quite a collection of newer pics of Shinee's Key looking, as usual, spectacular and outrageous and sometimes even a mixture of both.  Shinee has been back and forth to Japan, Taiwan, Korea and the Phillipines in the past month or so, and in that time Key has been parading his unique fashion sense through multiple airports and on multiple stages.  Many of his outfits have left me a bit in awe, since most people would look like idiots wearing what he manages to pull off.   Before you jump to conclusions and assume that Key has a stylist that puts his outfits together, let me assure you that this is not the case.  He and his fellow Shinee members have mentioned multiple times that Key is very particular about his outfits and will try on things many times before he gets it right.  I've also read that he did some of the styling for their Japanese Shinee World 2012, often from items he picked up while shopping in Japan. Let's get started, shall we?

Wonder Girls released their mv for "Like Money" featuring Akon today, and I'm sure their fans, the Wonderfuls (cute right?) were spazzing happily.

2NE1 released the official mv for "I Love You" today and I was blown away by it's beautiful imagery.  To me they look like high end designer dolls in a soft focus urban fantasy movie.  Yes that's a good thing.

I've decided to add a new feature to Oddness/Weirdness.  I'm going to focus on, you guessed it, Kpop magazine editorials of the past.  There are so many incredible photoshoots from the past few years that I've wanted to feature on this blog, so it was an easy decision for me. My first post, featuring G-Dragon in Vogue Korea '09 , got quite a bit of interest.  Today I'm focusing on my other favorites, Shinee, in the January 2010 issue of Dazed and Confused Korea magazine.

So the Wonder Girls came out with teaser #3 for "Like Money" today, and boy is it a doozie!

Yesterday 2NE1 released "I Love You" and managed to dominate all major Korean charts right away, which is referred to as an "all kill". I downloaded "I Love You" last night.  So far I've listened to this song multiple times and I'm loving it.  If you haven't listened to it yet,  check it out here:

Today my fave fansite,  Cloud USA , posted a vintage Rain video from back in 2004 and they inspired me to wax nostalgic about Rain.  I haven't really fangirled over Rain in awhile on this site and that is just sad, since he's my man and all.  Ok... ok... everyone relax... I'm kidding (backing away from the Clouds slowly)!

Right now I'm sitting here laughing.  Why, you may ask?  Well, feast your eyes on this:

Last week Inkigayo released a 2NE1 "I Love You" teaser that made me think that song was going to suck.  In the past few days, YG Entertainment has released more teasers for 2NE1's "I Love You" that sounded way better.  What a relief...

Planning on attending the Big Bang Alive Tour concert in New Jersey on November 9th?  If not, are you going to the concert in Los Angeles on November 3rd?  Well I've got something fun for you to do to show your love and support for Big Bang. I came across this VIP fan event created on Facebook for both Big Bang concerts and thought it would be cool to share:

Oh Key...  You always kill me and today was no exception.  On June 30th, at one of the last Shinee World Japan concerts, Key decided to send all Shawols into a tizzy by performing an impassioned solo to a Lady Gaga "Hair" and "Judas" medley.

Super Junior just released their mv for "Sexy, Free & Single" and, shockingly, I like it!

Ok I'll admit it:  I normally never  like this sort girl group song.  I'm actually kind of shocked at what I'm about to say but... Sistar is werking it out here with their summer single "Loving U". So You, Bora, Hyorin & Da Som
