I don’t understand some of the fans in this Nichkhun incident.

By now if you stay up to date in the kpop world, you may be aware of what I’m talking about. If not, there are articles here, here, here, here, oh and here. I won’t bother reiterating what is already written in those articles. As soon as I saw the headlines I knew this was going to blow up. I waited a bit to make this post because I needed some more facts to come out before I jumped to conclusions.

Some people do realize that what happened is quite the serious matter and can’t be waved off with a simple sorry or the dreaded oppa didn’t mean it. I can’t tell you how much I hate that phrase. Yes, people do make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean that this should be swept under the rug. I’m not going to say he deserves it because of whatever happened to Block B because in my opinion that’s inaccurate judgement.

It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t necessarily drunk, what matters is he was driving after drinking.

Drinking and driving simply. Or if you prefer, driving under the influence.

It is irresponsible to do so, point blank. He is in fact guilty of that. That being said, whatever punishment the law deems appropriate should be served. It doesn’t matter if his alcohol level wasn’t “that high”, it already happened. He can’t take that night back, all he can do is learn from it, accept the consequences, and move forward.

But that’s not what this post is about. This post is about the useless things fans are saying in defense of him or extremely against him. To a certain extent, it’s alright to defend him though I don’t necessarily agree. Though to think he isn’t at fault…..no no. He bears quit a bit. At the same time, wishing terrible things such as death, creating suicide petitions, or threats are just uncalled for. I decided against showing some comments like I do in my usual posts like this, there’s was just too many.

May Challenge: Day 19 & 20 {2PM and SS501}

Day 19 :Favorite 2PM Song

I didn’t get into 2PM till about the end of last summer, but I’m still riding on Hands Up.

Day 20 :Favorite SS501 Song

I’m quite sad that SS501 hasn’t promoted as 5 in a while. I want to say it’s safe to assume that they’ll  break up soon since they are all into their own solo activities but there’s still that slim chance that they have this epic comeback planned. Anyway I don’t even think this is an official SS501 song because only three members sing it, but it’s going to count for this challenge.

Day 3: 20 Day Kpop Bias Challenge

Day 3: An edit of your bias in 2PM

  • Junho

Yes I had to get the picture with him with his red hair because that’s when I really noticed him. I hadn’t listened to 2PM prior to the summer honestly, but I listened to Jay Park. Actually, I never knew Jay Park was even in 2PM till like August of last year.

But back to this cutie.

Junho is just the cutest thing ever. Whenever he smiles he makes me want to smile right along with him. I guess you could say his smile is very contagious. This is probably one of my few exceptions where my bias isn’t exactly the best singer in the group or that fantastic at another skill.

 

Favorite 2011 SBS Gayo Daejun Performances

I rarely watch end of the year shows. But something made me watch them this year.

Now this was amazing. I was very impressed with the intro. The remix was pretty good too. It took me forever to figure out the KiKwang was injured.

Loved this performance. I really am developing a soft spot for U-KISS.

~.~

I was surprised to hear this song. But I think IU’s voice matches Yoseob’s voice for this song. However at times I think Yoseob outpowered IU and vice versa.

~.~

I love the change up in the song. And finally, Neil has acceptable hair.

~.~

Really wasn’t feeling Lee Hong Ki’s hair but loved his voice as usual. And his theatrics.

~.~

You know I think Yong Hwa looks better and better every time I see him.

~.~

As much as I don’t want to admit, I do think KHJ is pretty successful without SS501. I love the dance to Break Down.

~.~

If only I heard this song when it came out, it sure would have been my song of the summer. Loved the dancing to this performance.

Moves Like Kpop?

I don’t typically listen to mash ups but this was pretty good. The tracklist includes: 2NE1 (투애니원) – Hate You, 2PM – Hands Up, 4Minute (포미닛) – Mirror Mirror (거울아 거울아), After School (애프터스쿨) – Shampoo, B1A4 (비원에이포) – O.K., … Continue reading 

Day 10: 35 Day Kpop/Jpop Song Challenge

Day 10: Favorite 2PM song

I used to think 2PM was all body and had absolutely no talent. Like when they were promoting Hands Up, I couldn’t help but think they were probably just walking around shirtless. But I have learned, they actually have some talent. I feel their Japanese singles much more than their Korean singles though.

Agree? Disagree?

Don’t Wanna Try Covers

I love this song by itself. I love most of Frankie J’s songs anyway. But I’ve found quite a few covers to this song.

I actually liked Niel’s voice here. I usually get annoyed by it, but I really liked it here. Not to mention L.Joe’s amazing piano skills :)

-

I don’t usually hear Nichkhun’s singing voice often.

-

Don’t you just love his Engrish? And I just favor Taeyang’s voice.
