Oddness/Weirdness

EXO released their mv for their much anticipated new song, " Wolf " this morning and, even though it seems that so many people dislike it, I think I'm going to have to (as a reader called it) "pull an Erika".  "Pulling an Erika" is apparently what happens when I talk shit about the teasers to a new song, mv or album leading up to it's release, and then backpedal and say that I like it afterwards. :Deep sigh: This happens so often.  When will I learn?

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.

On May 28 SMent dropped EXO 's newest teaser for their not yet released new single, " Wolf " .  I watched it last night and I was thinking I'd be able to be nice and just mention the facts but I really can't.  I have to admit it.  I think this is so.... damned... FUNNY and you know you do too.

SM Entertainment revealed today that their solo male artist will be no other than that Canadian cutie pie Henry Lau .  His first solo album, which is called " Trap ", will be released on June 7th through all the usual major music sites and he'll be touring the world to promote the album. Congratulations Henry!!  It has been 7 lonnnnggg years since he first became a trainee for SM.  Can you imagine?  I sure can't.

I would have to say that the big news of the day is SM Entertainment 's just released teaser photos of what they are saying is a new male solo artist.  Check them out:

2NE1 's CL has just released her mv for " The BADDEST FEMALE " and pretty much managed to throw some serious shade at all her contemporaries in one fell swoop.  

All the festivities for SHINee's 5th Anniversary have now concluded but I'm still thinking about how many smiles they've brought into my life.  The boys of SHINee were probably thinking the same thing about Shawols yesterday, during their 5th Anniversary Special Party , which was held on Saturday May 25th at Hwajung Gymnasium . Minho's secla to commemorate the day.

It's SHINee's 5th Anniversary today!  Can you imagine?  This fabulous group of boys have been SHINee for 5 whole years and still going strong.  This boggles my mind because people are always talking about the 5 year curse in Kpop, but  SHINee just keeps getting better and better.  Instead of succumbing to infighting or any of the other woes that other Kpop groups have broken up over, these boys seem to just get stronger.

Last week SM Entertainment shocked the Kpop world with their announcement that EXO would at long last be releasing a full length album.  The album will be called " XOXO (Kiss&Hug) " and tons of image teasers and their first video preview have been unleashed on us unsuspecting EXO fans.

Jonghyun is back!  Yes that's right, my Shawol friends, SHINee is finally 5 again.  Earlier this morning the boys appeared on  M! Countdown for their first " Why So Serious? " goodbye stage.  There's been lots of fangirling and fanboying (is that fanperson-ing?) going on all over the world and, in fact, we even managed to trend  a Korean phrase on Twitter for over an hour.  How fun is that?  Read on for a ton of screencaps and some pics & video:

Let the partying begin, because SHINee 's Jonghyun is finally back, and is making his " Why So Serious? " debut on M! Countdown .  He's only been gone for 2 months but it feels like forever, doesn't it?  Shawols everywhere are almost peeing their pants in excitement (including me).  It's pretty sad that he'll be back just when they are doing their goodbye stages on all the shows.  Sigghhh.  Want to see something awesome though?  Look at this business:

2NE1 CL 's solo album debut is fast approaching , and I've got some fun news about that.  Seems as if her label mates and bffs GD and YB will be helping her out with her mv for her upcoming single.  How fun is that?

The other day I wrote a post about how SHINee performed " Replay ", sans Jonghyun , on KBS 's 700th Episode specia l and, well... sucked.  I thought that if we watched other performances of "Replay", it would cleanse our brains of that sad spectacle and help us move on to bigger and better things, namely Jonghyun's return and their upcoming Japanese release .
