♥ LOVING KOREA

Hello to whoever out there who is reading my seemingly dead blog.

Just made a few changes to my blog and feel it's so neat right now, teehee. Nuff' with the pandas!

As someone who's totally addicted to the Korean 'wind', here's a few reasons why I can't stop loving Korea!

♥T.O.P (Big Bang)

♥Jung Yong Hwa (CN Blue)

♥ Running Man

♥ We Got Married

♥ So first about T.O.P, he's one of the most charismatic Kpop idol there is out there in the industry and I'm sure he'll be there for still quite a long time! I first found out about him when I was searching Youtube for some music videos of my first fav Kpop group, SHINee, and suddenly the MV 'Beautiful Hangover' from Big Bang came to my attention and I was immediately hooked onto this charismatic guy! I initially thought he was Lee Minho. Hehe. Popular for his seemingly flawless features and awesome voice for rapping, many may think that he's the type who had-it-all when he was born, but that's totally untrue. Just few years ago, T.O.P used to be a complete opposite of how he looks now, being plump and overweight. Due to this, he became an inspiration for me. ^^ Another thing that unfamiliar/new fans of T.O.P may think that being such a charismatic person, he must be like that offscreen too, but that's another busted fact as well! T.O.P's well-known for his goofy-ness and he's always seen playing around with his labelmate, Se7en, another talented guy from the same company. They're also both known as the handsome Choi brothers! Can't argue with that hehe. Some of Big Bang's MUST LISTEN songs includes 'Haru Haru', 'Lies', 'Sunset Glow', and ALL SONGS from their latest Korean album named 'ALIVE'. Especially 'Still Alive' and 'Fantastic Baby'! ♥♥

♥ Next up would be Jung Yong Hwa. He's the leader of Kpop band CN Blue. Not only is he good at rapping, his forte also includes song-writing. I didn't know about this band until I started watching We Got Married (WGM), where he and SNSD's Seohyun were paired up as the virtual couple. His talent, sweetness, goofy-ness and again, sweetness, got me hooked up him for about a few months? Hehe. It was after watching WGM that I decided to listen to the band's songs and found that their songs are quite addictive, mainly songs like 'Love' and 'I'm A Loner'. MAD AWESOME! Everyone should try listening to them, even though the songs are quite old. Their new songs which were released this year were quite upbeat, and even though I like them, they don't catch my attention as the previous two songs mentioned. ^^

♥ This is one of the shows which trains my patience level while waiting for their episodes each week! The original cast includes, 'Nation MC' Yoo Jae Suk (he appeared in PSY's Oppa Gangnam Style in the red car!), ex-Turbo member Kim Jong Kook, variety host Ji Suk Jin, Singer HaHa, Lesssang's Kang Gary, budding actor Lee Kwang Soo, actress Song Ji Hyo, with two ex cast actor Song Joongki and After School's Lizzy. :/( Running Man is an awesome Korean variety show, which is just so awesome I don't know how to describe it. Each week, this show just brings me so much surprises with the different star guests, and even when there are episodes without guests, the cast itself is too entertaining to watch! Some of the most memorable guests which I strongly recommend people to watch would be EP 1, 2 (Where Ji Hyo just joined Running Man), 6, 59. 84-85, 100, 104, 127, 129. I shan't elaborate more on why those are the nicest eps, but you'll definitely realise why when you watched it! Basically all the episodes are awesome but these are exceptionally memorable to me. The previous episode was also one of my favourite, due to the interaction between the Monday couple Gary and Song Ji Hyo, but I'll leave it up to you to watch it! Running Man FTW!! ♥♥

♥ Last but not least, We Got Married (WGM)! This is another variety show which used to keep feeling emotional each time I watch it. As seen in the picture above, you'll see CN Blue's Jung Yonghwa and SNSD's Seohyun, 2PM's Nichkhun and f(x)'s Victoria. These are my fav WGM couples from WGM Season 2, called the YongSeo and Khuntoria couple. I just love the unique interaction between the both of them and how they became from the initially shy and awkward couple to the loving sweet couple they are at the end of the show. When both of the couples had their ending, I really didn't want them to end. :/( Sigh, but oh well, everything has a start and an ending. ^^ Like all YongSeo and Khuntoria shippers, I really hope they would get together secretly and get married. Hoho. Another WGM couple whom I've been following recently is ZE:A's Kwanghee and Secret's Sunhwa. Both of them are just so cute and it always feels so comfortable watching both of them together, whether they are arguing or having cute moments. ♥ IMO, nowadays WGM has been facing too many situations and I'm glad that SunHee couple is still ongoing, hope that they can have at least more episodes like their sunbaes in Season 2! Heehee.

So that's a wrap for today! Shall blog again soon! Till then.

Time to do some online shopping mehehe. ♥
