Oddness/Weirdness

What the...?!?!  If you're anything like me, that was pretty much your reaction to Seungri of Big Bang 's new teaser for " Let's Talk About Love ".  Of course let's not forget the dropped jaws and shocked gasps that our computer or phone screens have just become acquainted with.  If you haven't watched this yet, you're in for a good surprise.

Big Bang's Seungri has taken a page from his hyung G-Dragon 's book with the way he's been promoting his new album, " Let's Talk About Love ".  He's been posting daily teasers and info about each song on social media for awhile now and even did a countdown a la GD.  Since RiRi is far from my favorite Big Bang member I had not taken much notice of any of it at first until today, when he captured my full attention.

WARNING:  Watching this show WILL cause you to become a SHINee stan.  Enter at your own risk! Welcome back to the  SHINee's "Hello Baby" viewing party .  I'm back with episode 2 which, if I remember correctly, was much better than episode 1.

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?

SM Entertainment has released EXO 's " Growl " dance practice videos, which means I had to sit there and watch them over and over a few times, even though I've watched the ganked dance practice version a ton of times.  I'm going to need for you guys to watch them with me because I can't be the only one having issues over these 12 boys.

I've been planning to do a weekly recap on the blog for awhile now but never got around to it.  Welp, here I am finally doing one!  I know this is last week's news but I've gotta start somewhere, so here goes. Check out my inaugural "News Of The Week" post.  These posts will consist of a recap of things I found to be really interesting that happened during the week, but didn't neccessarily blog about.  Let me know whether you'd like to see more of these in the comments below.

It was kind of a surprise when YG Entertainment's CEO, Yang Hyun Suk,  announced out of the blue that Big Bang's Seungri  would be making a comeback on August 19.  I'd been anticipating G-Dragon and Taeyang 's new albums, not Seungri's, so I was pretty flabbergasted when this news was unleashed.  Why do I get the feeling this was a rush job to cover up the fact that GD & YB's albums are late as usual?  Either way, I'm sure Seungri stans (and Seungri himself) are as happy as can be and hey, this teaser and tracklist is pretty nice too:

This post is all SHINee " The Misconceptions Of Us " pics and lyrics, no commentary.  Enjoy! Photobook:

WARNING:  Watching this show WILL cause you to become a SHINee stan.  Enter at your own risk. Welcome to the first episode of our SHINee Hello Baby Viewing Party !  I'm so excited about this, and it seems like some of you are too.  Let's do this!

I suddenly remembered why I like SHINee's Jonghyun  when he started up with his trolling ways again yesterday. This time his target was Key and the " The Misconceptions of Us " album cover and the results were, as usual, hilarious.

WARNING:  Watching this show WILL cause you to become a SHINee stan.  Enter at your own risk. Yesterday, as I was typing out some long ass comment in reply to one of you lovely visitors, I suddenly had this great idea (I think it is anyway):  Why not have a SHINee "Hello Baby" weekly viewing party? I watched SHINee's "Hello Baby" episodes almost 4 years ago, when I was first  forced into liking SHINee  (that's a joke, kind of).  I've been considering watching them all over again for awhile now, mostly because this is the show that started my SHINee obsession but also because it was so utterly charming. Just look at them:

SHINee's "The Misconceptions Of Us" has just been released!  Why wasn't I expecting this right now?  How'd I forget to anticipate it?  I have no idea, but I'm happy about it.  Of course someone has managed to upload the 2 new songs already so get ready to take a listen.

The mv to 2NE1 's 2nd summer jam, " Do You Love Me " is now out!  Are you loving it?  I bet you are, because it's super duper extra cute.
