The Fandom Rainbow

My mom and I recently caught up with the 진짜 사나이 fever that's all the rage in Korea these days. (Apparently, it even won over 1박 2일 in ratings.) The show features male celebrities that enroll in the Korean army for a few days. They participate in all the activities that ordinary soldiers-in-training engage in, and go through the similar process that all Korean men have to through sometime in their lives. Along with a lot of popularity among viewers (especially men over the age of 30), Korean ahjummas have been raving over the three golden men in the show (aka the currently most-wanted son-in-laws): Jang Hyuk, Ryu Soo Young, and Park Hyung Shik. Jang Hyuk is the actor that can out-perform almost every 조교, or leading officer, in all the training routines. Ryu Soo Young is the most positive guy you could ever meet, sharing all of his good energy with the other soldiers. The two are currently in a heated contest over the title of "perfect guy" in the team. Finally, we hav...

As a health-conscious girl, I try to stay away from the bacon most of the time. But  sometimes , I just need a piece of that crispy, greasy goodness, and eventually find myself falling for it completely. This time, I've fallen for a metaphorical bacon, a piece of boy candy. I really think I have found my new ultimate bias to worship, the former being L of Infinite. Sorry, but it's been almost a year since I got on that train, and I think maybe it's time that I moved on. (I still might have some feelings left for him, though, haha.) My heart was lingering on Chunji for a short while, but I have made my decision. Baekhyun , you have taken over my whole heart, as of now. <3 EXO debuted in April of last year, and with all the attention that they got (being SM's hottest new boy band), I was led to check them out. And, after watching some of their music videos and various appearances on broadcasts, I picked Baekhyun as my favorite among all the members in the group. ...

Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality made their comeback last week (in a matter of a year and a half), and I have to admit, I've been very attracted. The sexiness that they bring on stage has really, truly moved my heart. I want to be your "smoky girl," MBLAQ! Here are the lyrics for their new song: 홀로 들어선 club club 시간은 아마도 새벽 두시 두시 구석 bar 에 앉아있던 가녀린 손목에 레몬 주스 주스 (uh) She she was smoky girl 조명에 붉은 머릿결 슬퍼 보이던 눈가에 번진 상처 Smoky girl smoky girl smoky girl smoky girl Girl smoky girl smoky girl smoky girl Girl smoky girl smoky girl smoky girl smoky girl 넌 날 빠져들게 해 어느새 난 니 옆으로 다가가고 있잖아 아 But 넌 쉬운 사랑을 해 한 순간의 romance 널 가진 줄 알았는데 She she was smoky girl (she was smoky girl) 조명에 붉은 머릿결 (붉은 머릿결) 조금 슬퍼 보이던 눈가에 번진 상처 곁에 앉아도 돼 더 세게 안아도 돼 baby girl 하지만 화장이나 연기처럼 날 쉽게 지워버리려 하잖아 좀 더 다가와도 돼 날 세게 안아도 돼 baby girl 어떤 슬픔인지 내게 말해봐 지금부터 맘에 문을 열어봐 아 아 Smoky girl smoky girl smoky girl smoky girl Girl smoky girl smoky girl smoky girl 너의 작은 입술로 날 불어버리고 화장처럼 슥 지워버릴걸 ...

I'm always on the lookout for Korean celebrities (and famous people in general) that were born in the year of 1995, the year I was born, which makes them about the same age as me. I don't know, I just feel this kind of closeness to people who were born in the year of the pig, like me. Here's a list of the celebrities I know who are in the '95 line. Interestingly, I haven't been able to find many famous '95 liners, yet. (There seem to be so many '93ers and '94ers, with a growing abundance of '96ers and '97ers.) Park Ji Bin Nam Ji Hyun Joo Da Young Hyuk (VIXX) Jongup (B.A.P) Jimin, V (BTS) Sungjae (BTOB) Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta (NCT 127) Jihun (KNK) Yunhyung, Bobby (iKON) Ricky, Changjo (Teen Top) Youngmin, Kwangmin, Minwoo (Boyfriend) JR, Ren, Baekho, Minhyun (NU'EST) Namjoo (A Pink) Siyeon (Dreamcatcher) Yooyoung (Hello Venus) Junghwa (EXID) Seolhyun (AOA) Dowoon (Day6) Dawon (SF9) S.Coups, Joshua (Seventeen) Nayoung (Pri...
