Oddness/Weirdness

It is currently the time of year when every kind of site, magazine, radio station, etc., starts making their "Top Whatever of 2012" lists and I wanted to jump in on that bandwagon with my First Annual Top 10 Songs of the Year list.  Of course I have to do it my way, and that entails me asking my friends for their help. My friends and I have been talking about Kpop music and music videos all year, so they're as qualified as I am to make judgements and pronouncements.  In other words, not qualified at all, but hey, that hasn't stopped us yet! Joining me will be MyMusicRadar! aka Stormy to her friends.  Like me, Stormy also runs a Kpop blog and Tumblr  and has written for this site before ; I couldn't have done this post without her.  Also joining us (for contrast) is Dasiey28, an avid Kpop enthusiast and Kdrama watcher extraordinaire.  If you ever need to find any Kpop mv or need to know where to watch a Kdrama, ask and she shall find.  She is the Kpop-finding

The 2nd episode of "World Date With SHINee" has been subbed!  I think it's about time to watch some more of these girls being silly in front of Key and Jonghyun.  If you haven't seen episode 1, watch it here .  Commence watching ep 2 now:

I rarely ever post something at the crack of dawn, but that's what I'm doing right now because my feels are exploding all over the place. I happened to come upon one of these fancams a few minutes ago and had to upload it, since it contains footage of Block B's Zico performing his song " Battle Royal " onstage at the DIMA Student Music Festival on 121206.  Then I found another that included the beginning of his performance, so I'm posting both.

Well, well, well... EMI Japan released the completed version of SHINee's "1000 Years" but made it unavailable in who knows how many countries, including the U.S.  Boy was I pissed when I saw that.  So in other words, they tried to keep tons of Shawols away from their SHINee and we all know what happens when someone tries to do that. I call bullshit on EMI Japan and then laugh mockingly because an awesome fan reuploaded that mv fast as hell.  Watch it below!

I was informed earlier today by a commenter named Milan that an extended/complete version of SHINee 's " 1000 Years, Always By Your Side " pv would be available for viewing soon.  Gotta love those commenters, right?  Read on for more info.

I just was about to head to bed and happened to see that a link to the World Date With SHINee episode 1 with English subsvideos had been posted recently.  I just love SHINee fan subbers, they're so fast and dedicated.  Make sure to watch quickly before they're deleted! UPDATE : Click to watch episode 2  & 3 !

Yes you read that right.  Big Bang's G-Dragon has gone and gotten himself a new hairstyle and cut.  You know I, along with many other VIPs, were dying to know what he would do next.  Take a look at G-Dragon at Gimpo airport, leaving Korea on the way to Hong Kong:

When Big Bang was in Los Angeles in early November for their Alive concert tour stops, they ended up being guests on a show called "Danny From L.A.", which is an Mnet America weekly original show that talks about Asian pop culture and entertainment.  Watch Big Bang in all their lo-fi splendor as they relax, laugh and talk in a mixture of English and Korean about all kinds of topics, especially their delicious looking In 'n Out burgers. cr. korea.com.  

As I'm sure all you Kpop lovers were aware, the 2012 Mnet Asian Music Awards, or MAMAs, finally happened earlier this morning (or last night depending on where you live), Check out the performances I thought were genius PLUS the ones that were full of fail below, and then make sure to let me know which were the ones you loved and hated in the comments. Edited to add:  After reading the comments I received, I felt compelled to add that I'm not just a YG and SM stan.  I did like other performances, like Block B's and Gain's, I'm just waiting to make another post when I find more HD videos. cr. kpopstarz

Today's Video of the Day is by none other than my faves, SHINee, who bring you their pv for "1000 Years, Always By Your Side". I have to take a pause here because I have so many feels (and too many screencaps, aigoo!) to express about this incredible video.  Take a look:

Big Bang has been spokespeople for Gmarket (a hugely popular South Korean online auction and shopping site) for years now, and this year has been no exception. This time Gmarket released their ads and commercials for the current round of promotions for their site and they are chock full of Big Bang.  Gmarket is obviously not a dumb company, because I too would shop for stuff if my boys promoted it.

The SHINee boys continue to promote in Japan with the December issue of Hanako magazine and   I'm not always the biggest fan of Japanese magazine editorials but I quite like this one.  What do you guys think?

Ok, woah... I've been looking for this jacket ever since G-Dragon's mv for "Crayon" came out and I finally found it all out of the blue.
