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~

Betrayed

Hi guys!

Another quick post.

Today I wanna talk about Sulli, a former f(x) member.

I know, shocking. She was never my favorite but when she was in f(x), I cheered for her too by default coz f(x) is my fav girl group.
until~ she decided to leave f(x) to pursue acting. 🙄

I only ever know she acted in one movie after she left f(x) and that movie wasn't well received. I also think she was in one historical kdrama but I don't know what become of that. 
Mostly, I saw her in mainstream online kpop media coverage over some 'inappropriate' posting on her personal IG (this part, I'm on her side: it's her Instagram and her life, she has all the rights to do what ever she wants) and being featured in/on magazines.

So, when SM announced last week that Sulli will be releasing a song, I rolled my eyes so hard that I fear you will see my whites from then on. LOL I was so annoyed and hating. dah tah aku memang anti kedia when she left f(x), telling people she wanted to act but barely doing any acting, and now, she's releasing a song?!

I feel the same way I did when Brian, former member of Westlife, left the group then not even a year later, releasing a song as a solo artist; Betrayed.

You ARE a singer when you were in the group. I 👏 JUST 👏 DON'T 👏 GET 👏 WHY 👏 YOU 👏 HAVE 👏 TO 👏 LEAVE 👏 IF 👏 YOU 👏 GONNA 👏 END 👏 UP 👏 BEING 👏 A 👏 SINGER 👏 STILL 👏

Ok, lah, lemme justify their actiona:

• maybe they weren't treated right
• maybe they wanted more say in what they can do artistically
• maybe they always wanted to be a solo artist

sigh

Just becoz I tried to be more understanding, doesn't mean I can't still resent them.

I mean, they left! and for some reason, that separation ends the group!

Ok lah..grateful each remaining members, both Westlife and f(x), ended up doing solo thing successfully, meaning we still get to see them around the entertainment industry. 

and let's not forget, currently Westlife is doing a world tour after almost a decade of disbandment. Maybe the same thing will happen to f(x) too? Lets us hope so.

as much as I resent Sulli, I'm curious about her solo. I wonder what kind of genre her song will be.




GASP! DID I JUST PROMOTE HER?!

. . .

MIB International

Hi guys.

Feeling nice seeing me everyday? wehwehweh

It's becoz I missed so many days in June and I'm just trying to raise the number I posted this month. So...here I am.

MIB International

the next movie I watched at the cinema after Aladdin.

this was actually Zawir's idea. coz I think he likes MIB 3. I think.

I wanted to watch becoz it's Thor and the Valkyrie lady.

Not giving out spoiler like I did with Aladdin but Aladdin wasn't so much of a spoiler since it was a remake...so, I don't know where I'm going with that. hahaha

anyhoo... 6.7/10. becoz I feel like the storyline was short and somewhat rushed. THE COMEDY THO! funny as fuck. not all the time but most of the time. I enjoyed their comedy most. 

I wanna say something but then I realized that could be a spoiler. soooo..I'm just gonna leave the trailer here.



Are you going to watch this movie? and have you enjoyed the first 3 movies? share share share (in the comment box!)

OH!! when I hear Liam Neelson talked, I was like, "GASP! ASLAN!" not as loud as I'd loved to be but "GASP! ASLAN!" becoz earlier in the day, Fox Movies was playing Narnia: Prince Caspian and I watched it like I never watched the movie before. yup. "ASLAN!"

ok, bye.

wait! one more. 

Fun Fact: In Brunei MIB means something else to us Bruneian. it's our (as mentioned on Wiki) national philosophy: Melayu Islam Beraja.

. . .

Ok, what is this?

hi guys,

just a short one today.

I'm gonna be the first to say this,

SM, what the fuck is this ish?



and what the actual fuck is "Zimzalabim" ?!

Obviously I have not look for the romanize video yet and to be honest, I don't want to. coz WHAT THE HELL IS ZIMZALABIM?!

below comment made my day though 😂😂😂

. . .

been on both sides

hi guys!

let's discuss Marshmello & Anne-Marie - FRIENDS vs Westlife - Obvious.

I've been on both sides of this story. Yes, I see them as a story. 😂

When I first listened to FRIENDS, I understand it right away but didn't think too much of it. but few days ago, as my phone shuffled to the song again, I was like, "dam!" 

the lyrics was like, 
"We're nothing more than friends, You're not my lover, more like a brother...don't mess it up, talking that shit, only gonna push me away...Haven't I made it obvious, haven't I made it clear, want me to spell it out for you? ...We're just friends"
Like, there are people I wanted to dedicate this song to 😏

but also, at the same time, "dam!" I was reminded of the time I was on the other side. back in my teens. LOL

Westlife's Obvious read like this:
"We started as friends, but something happened inside me...You never seemed to notice me turning on my charm or wonder why I'm always where you are..I've made it obvious...Every time I asked you out, you never move past friendly...you never know how I stare when we're alone or wonder why I keep you on the phone"

basically, back in my teens, I was Westlife's Obvious and the guy probably was thinking Marshmello&Anne-Marie's FRIENDS. but in my 30s, I'm Marshmello&Anne-Marie's FRIENDS and the guy is insisting Westlife's Obvious.

been on both sides of this story. wow. just, wow. the realization hit me hard. must be the age factor? 😂😂

This realization also put things into perspectives. as in, I shouldn't be so mean about it. coz I have been on Westlife's Obvious side and I know how my heart aches over it. but being kind DOES NOT MEAN giving in tho. 
I think it's healthy to remind someone that we're just friends and I also think it's our right to be FIRM on reminding them that. and if firm means singing like Marshmello&Anne-Marie's FRIENDS, then so be it.

here's the two songs for listening purposes

Marshmello&Anne-Marie - FRIENDS


Westlife - Obvious



tell me what other points you came up with listening to these two songs. let's discuss in the comment box below.
