Monster

hi Geng!

August is here. and my Bujo theme is done. but I will post them after this post.

on today's post, I'm gonna be sharing another SM fav! and by favorite I mean, in song title;

MONSTER

Red Velvet subunit: Irene & Seulgi made a debut with the song Monster. again, I prefer not to watch the music video when trying to like a song and what do you know? it is a bob.

then days later, I thought, oh! here's another '3 similarity MTV' style thing. SM released 3 songs titled Monster since I first became a fan of kpop.

1. by: Super Junior

album: Sorry, Sorry

year: 2009

2. by EXO

album: Ex'Act

year: 2016

3. by Irene&Seulgi, Red Velvet sub-unit.

album: Monster EP

year: 2020 (duh~ LoL)

I told you SM is kinda lazy. I mean, in trying to find a different song title.

also, finally understands what EP means:

andddd

I will make a series out this '3 similar' thing. 

When in Seoul part 3

Hi guys,

as promised this post will be more vibrant.

Day 3. and I called it 'Wearing Hanbok Day'.

We went to two stops; Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village.

We rent our hanbok at a place called Best Hanbok. I already lupa berapa $$. but we rent until 5:30pm and it was still affordable.

at Gyeongbokgung Palace you can visit the area outside for free. To enter the palace ground, you must pay an entrance fee. but if you wear Hanbok, you can enter for free.

We took so many pictures OR my friend took many pictures of me. LOL of course I took picture of her too but towards the end she was too cold to bother. but we still had so many pictures!

Lemme share some:

ALL MY DONG YI FEELS CAME TRUE!

I realized that in most pictures we weren't photobombed much. I think it was becoz people don't really go far into the palace like we did. So, it was nice taking picture when you go further inside the palace area. Yes, the area was so big that we didn't realize we were there for four hours.

Thus, on to the next stop.

We took the subway to Bukchon Hanok Village.

Ok, if you've been following my blog since forever, you know the reason behind wanting to visit this area.
That's right, SuJu 's Attack On The Pin-Up Boys movie.

This place was actually an actual residential area so signs like below was put up.

and this place were more crowded than at the palace. So, photobomed a lot but that can't be helped.

I like the surrounding area. I really like the traditional design. basically, I'm just a suckers for traditional feels.

Enjoy some of these photos:

 I mean, oops. 🤭

After Bukchon, we went back to Gyeongbukgung to return our hanbok.

the under ground was design to fit the atmosphere too.

I love it!

When we finished, we went looking for late lunch and dinner, Halal Kitchen.
and on the way there pun so much things to take picture of. I guess I was that kind of tourist. 

 Klinik Gigi. I don't know why I find this so amusing. 😆

this was the stairs to the restaurant. the restaurant is to the right after that first set of stairs.

I thought I took picture of the owner. rupanya inda. He looked like Siwon. and he is Korean Muslim. 

 A picture of the owner on the wall. I must be really tired to not even bother standing up or even zooming in for the picture. 

the view from our seat.

I took this food picture becoz he asked me too. His exact question was "Aren't you going to take picture?" LOL like, sir, aku kan enjoy my food saja ni. LOL

It was night time when we left his restaurant.

and we actually got lost. LOL and ended up going around the Gyeongbokgung Palace gates before we finally found a lift that would lead us to the underground subs. 

It's not an Az Nuur travel if she didn't get lost. LOL

but as always, tiring but worth it. 10/10

Yes, many pictures this time around. These photos are still on my phone.

. . .

Guys, I was right, I'm going to be doing 5 parts for this. I have two more post to go.

I see then.

mini list of my first Kpop comebacks

Hi guys!

I thought of this topic as I was writing the post with Sulli's solo; My first kpop comeback from my favorite.

My first comebacks for a few favorites; SuJu, SHINee, f(x), BoA, Girls'Generation.

Here's what Comeback means:

When I said 'my first', I meant the comeback that I actually looking forward to watch on KBS (the only Korean Channel available in our TV cable) 's Music Bank (a Korean music show) after I get to know the group and listening to what ever they have released prior to that comeback. So, let's go!

1. Super Junior - No Other.

Ok, so, I was looking at their Single list on wiki and my first comeback should've been It's You. coz I was obsessing over SuJu since Sorry Sorry but I guess, I was just obsessing and didn't really understand the concept of Korean Music Show until No Other came out. No Other wasn't even a title song, it was from the Repackaged one. I remember the last stage they did of this song was when SHINee made a comeback with Lucifer. I remember becoz Leeteuk shouted "SHINee Comeback. something something..hwaiting" during the stage. LOL sorry, I don't understand Korean much.. Let's share that video



dam! I missed 2nd Gen group. and SuJu is my first Kpop group. Oppa-deul, saranghae 

2. SHINee - Lucifer

Ok, this obviously related to the above.
I was beginning to obsess over SHINee at this point coz I was obsessing over SHINee Hello Baby. 

I'm not sure if it was but this song reminds me of how I started investing to much time and money on SMTown.



ohhhh SHINee performed first, then SuJu, coz, Goodbye Stage. Ok, understand.


3. f(x) - Danger

Ok, this one kinda hazey but I remember obsessing (yes, I'm easily obsessed!) over this song the same time I obsessed with SHINee and SMTown concert. or somewhere along that road. f(x) is the first Kpop girl group that I really like.



Now I remember how the idea of this post came to me. the GIF I used on previous post was taken from f(x) Official MV for Danger. 


4. Girls' Generation - The Boys

I'm telling you, this list is base on that year SMTown became so big and doing world tours. around 2010/2011. The year I become full kpop stan! 
I wrecked my brain for stories behind this choice and actually, OH! was the first comeback I followed but only thru the Music Video. Does that count? maybe. but let's stick to comeback stages, yeah? (my list, my rules muahahaha)



I'm reminded to why Hyoyeon become my bias. Her rap here. sharp!


5. BoA - Hurricane Venus

this probably was everyone's first comeback of BoA after a while. becoz this was five years after her last Korean album released. I remember watching this and thought, "that's how you do live" coz I was so used to watching her (via youtube of course) live in concert.



it was such a good performance! No one can beat this Queen. She does more live concert than live music shows! 


I think that is enough for this post, yes?

I did say mini.

So, hope you enjoy this share and maybe can share your favorite kpop comeback stage too in the comment box below.

for now, ciao~

Yesung 1st Mini Album

I really like his entire mini album.

the music is really my style.

I didn't expect it to be.

just like when I started to listen to Taeyeon's 1st Mini Album. I thought that I would hate but I didn't.

my surprised is not without base.

when Kyuhyun's mini albums came out, I only ever like 1 song from each mini album.

when Ryeowook's mini solo album came out, i like a few songs.
So, when Yesung dropped his mini solo album, I thought my hype for it would be the same as I did the other two.

but like I said, I was surprised when I heard the first released song.

Here I Am

mcm stalking jua lirik nya ani. hahah baru baca when I want to post this. LOL
and kenapa ya mesti bali plant? of all the things yg bini2 atu suka hahaha

Ok. stalk-ish (funny) lyric aside,
isn't his voice just *insert 'the boom' icon here* ???

a little background story before I share you another few songs

K.R.Y. (Kyuhyun. Ryeowook. Yesung.) is a sub-unit of SuJu whose main song releases are ballads.
and all three of them is like the senpai of amazing male vocals of SM!
well, not really. there are Changmin, Junsu, Yunho of DBSK. to name a few.
but since I wasn't aware of DBSK vocalists back when I was obsessing over SuJu, lets not go there.

anyway, KRY is like the platform of amazing vocalist of SM!
after that came Jonghyun and Onew of SHINee (not gonna explain myself why Onew was mentioned after Jonghyun coz I love their voices on two different levels)
then baru tah came the EXO vocalists; Bacon, DO, Chen. (I think Luhan should be in this list too but seeing as he is no longer EXO)

what I'm trying to say, K.R.Y. has a lot of practice to get to where they are now. Vocally. I'm no expert but theirs are per.fect.ion.

Continuing on~

let's share a duet now.

first up, with Dalchong of CHEEZE. Spring In Me.


I don't know who she is but her voice is very nice.
and this song is like that time, after all the heartaches and this song promises a new beginning.
or something.
my hearteu~

second up, feat Chanyeol of EXO. Confession.


I know. cChanel *fangirling*
noh. not really.
I was always clapping when this song plays. rupanya it's a cute confession song. or trying to confess.
still very the cute

I would love to share all the songs here
but this next one would be the last song that I'm gona share here

it's call Your Echo


I'm telling you, I only learn the translated lyrics while doing this post and I cried during this one.
I guess I have a hunch yg it's sad song but I didn't think it'd be this sad! what the hell Yesungie?!

as mentioned, that would be last song shared here.
If your internet is as awesome as mine, this page will take longer to load.
hahaha ha

but your internet is the awesome-st in town, you should click the link in the videos to listen to the rest of the songs with Eng Sub.

I bet SuJu's future concerts gonna be really long coz they have alot of solos out now to add up to their list of SuJu songs as a whole. (the KRY, EunHae duo)

I would definitely go if was still a 'fanatic' elf. Lucky for me that I'm a 'fanatic' Shawol now.
but I wouldn't mind going to another SMTown concert.
sigh. I miss SMTown.

*clap once*

alrighty,
that is all I have for you guys tonight.
hope you enjoy all the cool (although some are sad) songs.
See you on the next post
ciao~

Happy For Sungmin

I was 'cleaning' my external HD last Saturday, 13th Dec

and I came across the only episode of TvN TAXI that I had; Sungmin, Luna and Jessica were in it. 

I was a little upset seeing Jessica there; listening to her talk about her trainee days with SNSD. You all know how she got kicked out few weeks ago, right? So, yeah. She's my least fav in SNSD btw. ahaha surprise2 for me to be feeling sad about her not being a SNSD member anymore. 

anyway, long story short, I finished cleaning and went on to browse IG on my phone. then I saw it.

Someone (a fanaccount) post Sungmin's wedding picture. 

I completely forgotten all about it. seeing him on TAXI only reminded me of how he used to be one of my fav in SuJu.

and then I cried.

Tears of happiness. 

really, it was of happiness. like how I feel when I saw Nicky's and Shane's wedding pictures.

I think these idols deserve happiness.
I know I said this idol is my future husband and what not
but let's be real for a sec. I. don't. have. a. fcuking. chance. with. them. EVER.
hahaha awu, sadar ku. 
it's just fun having something to be obsessed with, you know. (It gives me something to think about other than why am I still single. or something. hahaha)
oh well, the new obsess fans don't understand this, yet. But trust me, as you get older, when your perspective changed, then you'll understand my feelings. 
their happiness will be yours too.
and most importantly, YOU DON'T FREAKING OWN THEM. 
YES. I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU! YOU DELUSIONAL FREAK!
hahaha 
I'm just pissed that some fans had the nerve to comment on the other SuJu members IG posts on how upset they were that Sungmin got married. Like, are you fcuking kidding me?
How would you feel, on the happiest day of your life, someone claimed that your happiness made them suffer? like, is this even relevant?
Is me getting pissed over this even relevant?
hahahah
I guess I spent too much time 'hanging out' on the social networks.
I need to get out more.

anyway, Congratulation Sungmin! wish you all the happiness in the world. Saranghae!

. . .

Reminiscing

was looking thru my old album and found these videos from Nov 2012. 

SMTown in Singapore!

BEST. DAY. EVER!

I don't know if it'll load this time around but imma try. 

IMPORTANT: forgive the excitement/fangirling moments. (LOL!) and also, not a pro at taking fan came. it was the best I could captured. there were a lot of movements. but Enjoy! anyway.

SNSD - Kissing You

I remember just how far away our seats were but it was all worth it! I regret nothing!

BoA - Only One

I was laughing so hard listening to myself screamed 'WOA! bukan cTaemin' and back then I didn't recognize him but it was actually Sehun of EXO dancing with BoA (the 'solo' dance thingy).
it started raining (heavily) time cBoA atu. and it got worse and worse.

f(x) - Electric Shock

especially time c f(x). many people were leaving during Electric Shock. Zawir even suggested we left early too and I remember yg I almost nangis coz I don't wna leave just yet. LOL I know I caught it on camera. I think during Super Junior.Jan th di upload tu. hahaha

SMTown - Hope (part 1)

This right here is my most precious video EVER! Coz, weeks before the concert, I was like, mengHafal this song (and also Dear My Family - I Am OST but this one nada drg perform -.- ngaleh ja ku ngapal tu) and was super excited when they performed it last2 atu. Lucky we didn't leave early coz rain eventually stopped during the finale. and we got to scream out lungs out none stop. LOL a/n: part two refused to load. too big kali. ngaleh ku -.- oah well..

You must be wondering mana video SHINee ku. ahaha ada. ganya, not my fav song bah. yatah malas ku kn upload. hengsem plang drg atu. semestinya! 
bh upload sja chia. dengan intention untuk 'sharing'. Take out with full credit. aseh! inda jua berapa video ku ani. Low Quality berabis. LOL

SHINee - Sherlock

I don't have EXO. except cSehun with BoA. msa tu alum minat lagi arah EXO. they were still 'fresh'. 

I could load all my nonsense fancam but the above took all night and subuh. *yawnz* maybe next time? hehe look forward to it. ;)

a/n: YAY! MAU DI LOAD! HAPPY KU! though not all but still!! YAY! 

. . .

the infamous Line

I saw this post via Twitter and wanted to share this with you guys.



Ryeowook (Super Junior, eternal Maknae) wanted to form a Ryeo-Line. 

His potential candidates include Onew (SHINee). 

His reason to form this Line is because he wanted to compete with the Kyu-Line, formed by Kyuhyun (Super Junior, real Maknae).

MY reason to make this post?

becoz of my reaction after I read the part 'compete with the Kyu-Line';

"Yeah, Good Luck with that," in a very sarcastic way. 

because, come on, lets face it, it's Kyuhyun; the most cheekiness/wittiness member in SuJu (or the whole of SM). he's the bad of all influences to Minho (SHINee), who is also in the Kyu-Line. 

but really, if you were to pick the winner, who would you choose?

Ryeo-Line consists of; ZE:A's Hyungsik, Infinite's Sunggyu, EXO members, and SHINee's Onew.

or

Kyu-Line consists of; TVXQ's Changmin, SHINee's Minho, CNBLUE's Jonghyun and Super Junior's Siwon.

???

I know Onew is my fiance, but seeing the members of the Kyu-Line, I don't think Ryeo-Line would stand a chance. LOL

but no matter, let's wish Ryeowook all the best. Wookie, hwaiting! ^_^V!

cr: shineee.net check out the full article here.

Last Time punya Stuck in My Head

a super late post in regards to the Stuck in My Head a few moons back. (lol! bahasa ani jua ter influence dari subtitle drama Queen Seonduk)

Yup. that's ten. missing on the list; Heechul, Hangeng, and Kibum.

downloaded the entire album soon after.

current fav song; Daydream. (hehe biasa, bila sudah suka tu, on repeat smpi boring ni lagu ah LOL)

the rest of the songs are not that bad too. for once i'm listening to an entire album without skipping half way thru the song. (dont get too excited, this will only last for a few days. udah ku boring, pndi ku menskip2 tu xP) 

So, well done. *thumbs up*

Hoped they stay strong together.

Super Junior Hwaiting!!

Welcome Back Kangin-ssi!!

xD

p/s: I miss SuJu.

Super Junior

annyeong...

Super Junior will be making a comeback with their 5jib (5th Album)


Excited!!

but the album cover is almost, like, are you kidding me?!

I hope them boys don't have much say in choosing it



(as in the whole thing; the album cover, the theme, those outfits, etc)

coz that'd be devastating.

All in all. I'm looking forward to the first Song of the 5th album which will be out on 2nd of Aug if i'm not mistaken..(read back) oh. wrong. Album will be released on 3rd Aug. MV teaser (Mr. Simple is the name of the song) on 2nd Aug. and Mr. Simple digital single will be released on 1st Aug. I'm looking forward to SuJu's comeback!

and more than anything, I'm happy that there'll be 10 of them. no one's missing. i like that. (everybody knows about the Kibum MIA, Kangin incident and Hangeng departure. I don't think I should repeat myself here) I've come into terms that SuJu is now a 10 member group.



A/N: images are not mine. i borrowed them from allkpop. for a better viewing, pls click here. ;)
