Oddness/Weirdness

My title pretty much encompasses how I felt about SHINee finally winning something for " Everybody ".  They took home the gold goblet on Show Champion yesterday and I was all "YAYYYYYY!" and "Phew!" :wipes brow:  I'm just going to post all the good videos + some pics here for ya and I've even got some English subs, because Shawols are (as usual) awesome.

Big Bang's T.O.P ,   aka Choi Seung Hyun , is currently being featured all over the Korean media for his role in the upcoming movie The Commitment , which is great for us because we'll get to see a lot of his beautiful face in the upcoming months.  Take a look at his editorial for L'Officiel Hommes in which he is all suave and studly, and then scroll down some more for the interview with English translation.

This last post is by  nancakes 's Nani and she's written another slightly controversial post, this one about her take on South Korea's beauty standards.  If you haven't read Nani's previous Guest Blogger Week rant about crazy Kpop fans, you can do so by clicking here  and, as always, if you agree or disagree you can sound off in the comments below. The Oh So "Superficial" South Koreans Hello folks of the interwebz. I'm bringing to you an entry that touches upon a topic widely known within the kpop fandoms: beauty ideals (and plastic surgery) - and why looks matter so damn much in the country of oppas and gee gee babies.
