K-pop Parodies

I just HAD to share this with you guys! Many of you may have already discovered mgurl0523's youtube channel, but I didn't until today when @Vanillaichigo92 sent me a vid on twitter (thanks!). Even though the vid she sent was a SHINee parody (and I know NOTHING about SHINee) I laughed out loud. Then I discovered that she has made a lot of parodies of different Kpop groups such as 2ne1, B2ST and many more! She makes awesome funny stories for her parodies and also makes a lot of inside jokes about the groups so the best is to actually know a bit about the group in the parody, but I think you will find it funny werther you do know about them or not~ Check her channel out!!



I LOVE B2ST and I found this vid totally hilarious!

EDIT: She has some vids that are taken down if they are on youtube so I'll link where you can watch them! Contains hilarious parodies of BIGBANG - Tonight, U-Kiss - 0330 and 2PM - I'll be back! Here is the link: http://mgurl0523.tumblr.com/Parodies

Hyung is going to Japan!

I just wanted to say that tomorrow, I will be going to.. *drum roll* JAPAN! Oh yes!
That being said, you may have already guessed that I won't be able to update the blog during my time in Japan. Yup, I'm leaving all the responsibility to Dongsaeng! Aigoo.. How will that go.. Kekeke, just kidding~ ^^
Anyway, I'll visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and other places, and I will share some of my experiences and photos with you when I get back home! I am VERY VERY excited! *_* I'll be gone for nine days only though, but it's my first visit to Japan so it's fine even if it's only for a short visit.

That's all I had to say for now! Peace out!

MTV EMA 11

OMG, IT'S ONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT (this day excluded) UNTIL THE VOTING IS OVER!!



BIGBANG was chosen, or won to be exactly, to be one of the five lucky nominees in this years MTVEMA11 'WorldWide Act'. The category is a new category they added for this years ema, and among the Asia/Pacific nominees, except BIGBANG (Southkorea), Agnes Monica (Indonesia), EXILE (Japan), Jane Zhang (China), Jay Chou (Taiwan), Sia and Gotye (Australia) were also the lucky ones.
But BIGBANG won the first round (GO VIPs!) and now the second round is soon over.. They are against Britney Spears (Northamerica), Lena (Europe), Restart (Southamerica) and Abdelfattah Grini (Africa). The biggest competitor probably is Britney but you shouldn't underestimate the other nominated!! Anything could happen so everyone should be at least as dangerous competitors as Britney Spears!


If you haven't voted yet I suggest you should do it NOW!! Deadline at 4th of November! Vote for BIGBANG until the exceeded limit, go to the next region's mtvema page, change browser if needed and so on. If you need tips or more information, follow @BigBangEma on Twitter!

Me myself have been voting like craaazy! But ofcourse, then I am a VIP so what wouldn't you expect from me? ;) Hopes for the best for the guys, but unfortunately I don't have the MTV channel, so I won't be able to watch it live.. I will do my best to inform you about how it went though so stay tuned!

Here is one of the pages: http://uk.mtvema.com/vote

K-Drama 'What's Up'

Okay so, I'm going to talk about a k-drama that I have been waiting to see for a long time. The drama is the upcoming campus musical drama 'What's Up' starring actors such as BIGBANG member Kang Daesung and actor & model Im Ju Hwan.



This drama was actually supposed to be aired earlier this year in March, however not long before that SBS (who were supposed to air the drama) revealed that the airing of 'What's Up' would be canceled.
Well, I know _I_ was bummed out about it because I had been waiting to see it. (Yes, I admit that I got to know about the drama because Daesung was in it. BUT, after seeing the trailer I realized I would probably be very interested in it werther he was or not.)

Anyway, my point is is that this drama FINALLY has gotten a new airing date! (Hopefully one that won't be canceled.) SBS are not the ones who are going to air it this time though, but MBN will! YO, THANX MBN!
'What's Up' is going to begin broadcasting in December, so either you wait for all the episodes to be broadcasted so that you can watch them all in one go, or you do as me and many other people will do: Painfully wait one week for each episode! Awww yeeeaaah! (But really, I like doing that too. It's like waiting for Christmas.. When it finally comes you are the happiest person ever! But if you could choose to have Christmas every day, now that would be boring wouldn't it?.. I guess that didn't make sense.)

Anyhow, make sure you check out the trailer!

Tree Of Heaven

Since Hyung started off writing, I felt like doing too.. =) ㅋㅋㅋ!

Anyways, Imma start off my first post by writing a little about a drama I recently saw.. Well I have seen others after this, but this is a must-write-about; Tree Of Heaven.






You heard about it? No? Do you know who Park Shin Hye is? Yes? No? Either way, PSH is a Korean actress, mostly known for her role in You're Beautiful. Tree Of Heaven is probably one of her first dramas she acted in, as one of the lead roles. The drama has its settings (?) in Japan, recorded in 2003. Tree Of Heaven or  Heaven's Tree is a story about a 18 year girl, Hana (Park Shin Hye) who lost her father at a very young age. After several of years, her Japanese mother remarried and Hana got a stepbrother, Yoon Suh (Lee Wan) who moved in in their Inn, where Hana's aunt & cousin also lived in. What they (Hana&YoonSuh) both had in common was that they both lost a parent at a young age. Hana's mother left her in her aunts sight with her new husband for a honeymoon. The aunt and cousin took the opportunity to abuse Hana and later to make her even more life miserable. Atst Hana soon got very fond of her new brother. At the beginning he wanted nothing to do with her, but as the story goes, their relationship developes to something deeper than just a sister-brother-relationship...

Does it sound like a interesting drama? All I can say it is a SAAD drama.. T_T and also the first (AND ONLY) drama I cried to.. D: And I usually don't cry to movies, dramas or well.. yeah.. So be prepared to cry a lot if you want to take the risk to see it! Personally, this is one of the best dramas I have ever seen, a drama that I recommend A LOT!! But avoid seeing it if you don't like to cry.. Just thinking about the end makes me wanna cry again lulz.. :c

Tablo and his new album.

Did you guys listen to Tablo's new song? If not, I'll tell you about it! And if you did listen to it already.. Well, I'll tell you as well.
Tablo, the hip-hop artist who recently signed a 4-year contract with YG Entertainment is now releasing an album! Or should I say two halves of an album? The album is called 'Fever's End' and is being released in two parts.



The single 'Airbag' was released on 14th of October, and after that the first part of the album was released. The second part will be released on November 1st.
The whole album was actually supposed to be released on November 1st but YG Entertainment decided that Tablo's album should be released 10 days earlier. Umm, well, at least half of it I guess.
Anyway, personally I have not listened to any of Tablo's songs earlier (he has been part of the hip-hop group Epik High since many years ago) but I did listen to Airbag after it was released. Even though it's not really my genre of music, it's a pretty chill and nice song, you should check it out!
