JYJ from 東方神起

I wonder what he means with this. Is he missing the others? I suppose so. Does he wish they were five again? I suppose so. But can such a thing ever happen? Can DBSK ever be five again? And in that case, under what circumstances?
It's all just a mess right now, it's really bringing me down. And I keep thinking, if the pain in my heart is this big, their pain must really be unbearable. Stay strong; Yunho, Jaejoong, Yoochun, Junsu, Changmin. Be happy and smile a lot.

Brand New U-kiss

So about the comeback of U-kiss...

I like the song, I really do. It's really good. And I like the musicvideo. And I like the new members, they seem alright. But still, I miss Alexander and Kibum.

Along with Kevin, Xander and Kibum were always my favourite members of U-kiss, and I still haven't quite accepted the fact that they're on longer official members of the group. As I watched the new video I kept thinking: "Was the member-change really necessary? Couldn't they have done it with the old members?" I can kind of understand why they needed Hoon, because he seems to be a good singer, but AJ? Is he just rapping? Honestly, U-kiss already have enough rappers; Eli, Dongho, and of course Alexander was a good rapper as well.
But I don't want to bash the new members though, because I'm sure they already have a hard time dealing with all the harsh comments they must be recieving. I do not hate them, and I'll do my best to learn to love them as members of U-kiss. But it might be a bit hard, considering whos' places they took. Not blaming this whole mess on any members though, NH Media made a huge mistake and I'm so irritated at them for being so unproffesional.

Moving on to the video: I love it! The song is just beautiful, so sweet and melodic. I love how U-kiss isn't obsessed with auto-tune anymore. The video is beautiful, and Dongho acting all sad makes me so heartbroken. And Kevin is just supercute as usual.
But there's one thing that bugs me so much: Hoon and AJ are given long parts to sing, while Kiseop hardly sings at all. Seriously? Kiseop has been a member of U-kiss for a long time now, and we all want to see him sing!

So yeah, in conclusion: Love the song, love the video, will try to like the new members, but I still miss Kibum and Xander like crazy...

4MINUTE

I have just one thing to say: I love this song!

Bolero

Today I saw this on SharingYoochun.net:
"Shim Changmin – It’s not easy for two (with U-Know Yunho) people to fill in the space of five people. I feel so much more responsibility now compared to when all I had to do was follow what my hyungs were doing. So I give my all for everything, dancing, singing and the visual aspect. There are times when I feel frustrated and disappointed. Sometimes, I ask myself, ‘After years of performing, I’m still the same, I’ve been doing fine without anything happening, but how did our team become this way?’ Idol singers who debut at a young age own many things people their age usually don’t own, and are faced with many temptations. I think people need to possess the power of discernment and good judgment."
Yes, it hurts to hear Changmin say things like this. That's really the only thing I can say. It hurts. As I've said before, I don't pick sides. I cannot pick a side when I love them all so much. So it hurts. It hurts that they have to talk about eachother in interviews, instead of doing the interviews together. It hurts that some things they say imply that they're not as close anymore. It hurts that they're not together. And most of all, it hurts that I don't know what's true and what isn't.

Yesterday night when I came home from a friend in the middle of the night, I went out in my garden and watched Cassiopeia, while crying and listening to this song:

How I miss them.

Paradise Ranch

Recently I finished the drama Paradise Ranch, with Changmin as one of the main characters. I might as well admit it, I watched it mainly because I love Changmin and wanted to see him act, I wasn't that exited about the actual drama. But now, after having seen it, I actually like it a lot.
It had some things I disliked, mainly just the short part where Changmin was way too possessive, telling her she couldn't meet the other guy etc. Possessiveness is a very unattractive quality in my opinion, and it almost hurt to see Changmin acting that way (I seriously had to remind myself that it was just a drama, and Changmin might be different in reality).
But mostly I liked this drama, since it never feels too unrealistic. I mean, it's never unnecessary dramatic, more like a very exaggerrated version of the reality. It's really sweet, especially since the story takes place on a ranch. It has kind of a friendly feeling. And I love that the ending wasn't cheesy and whimpy, as is the case with so many dramas (Really, I've been so dissapointed at some dramas just because of a whimpy ending.)
Changmin is good enough. He's not a great actor yet, but considering this is his first real try at acting, he does a good job. A lot of singers who try their hand at acting tend to act a bit exaggerrated at times, but Changmin doesn't, with maybe one or two exeptions. Changmin is good, and I would love to see him in more acting-projects.
I really recommend this drama, Paradise Ranch. It's not my favourite, but it's definitely one of the better ones!

Orange Hair

When I first saw this, I really couldn't help but think: "Orange hair? What the hell was he thinking...?" But honestly, after you get used to it, it's really cute, isn't it? It makes him look so young.
... I'm really too obsessed with this man...

Infinite

Recently I discovered Infinite (When I say recently I mean today. I'm not even kidding.)
Yes, I know they've been around for several months already, but I suppose I simply didn't notice them for some reason. They have some really great songs though, so anyone who hasn't heard of them should definitely check them out!
Of course, I've already found my favourite: SungJong, born 1993, extremely cute.



Ahh... It's always a good day when you discover a new group!
