Because I Love Them. PERIOD

Biases in every group. Everyone has them right?

I mean  you can like all of them but there has to be someone that stands out in the group.

NOTE: Sometimes Dorkiness adds points.

Now these are both jpop and kpop groups:

KPOP Groups:

1.) CL (2NE1)– Explained in one of my previous posts. Don’t have to explain further. And I was actually drawn to her creative sense of style.

Though when it comes to dorkiness, Dara outshines CL-Roo with her witty antics.

2.) HeeChul (Super Junior)– The one and only Cinderella of SuJu. His antics never fail to amuse me. But I had a hard time choosing between him and LeeTeuk who’s personality is also interesting.

No doubt, Heesica Heechul is the most beautiful Suju member.

3.) JaeJoong (DBSK)– Whoo~ This was hard. YunJae was always a package. I had a hard time choosing between the both of them. But of course, Jaejoong won because of his so-called cuteness. I even remembered KHJ calling him the effeminate one. And he’s clumsy too!! xD

4.) TOP (BigBang)– This quiet young man’s dorky moments are rare so I treasure each and one ’em. He’s usually dorky only when he’s with the BB boys. I like him for being quiet and unpredictably dorky.

5.) TaeYeon (SNSD)– I know that I also explained it in a previous post but I’m gonna add something that I forgot to put in my previous blog. I can actually relate to this dorky little creature. She’s actually quiet which actually contradicts her witty self in variety shows. I’m also introverted myself. I know it’s a bad thing not to show your true self but I think she has the right to hide her thoughts. Right?

I don't have to explain over and over again why I like her. *DORK*

6.) SunYe (WG)– I know, I have a thing for girl leaders.  But from my three biases, I think SunYe stands out because of her good personality. Her motherly image is even on par with TaeYeon’s because of her love for her co-members (Ummas FTW?). And after Mimi’s departure, I think she was the one who was deeply affected. And of course, she’s a family person meaning she cares for her family very much.

Yep. This is our Min Leader for you.

Jpop Groups:

1.) Yamapi (News)– I am also a sucker for guys with Soul-less eyes (TOP and JaeJoong) and Yamashita Tomohisa (Yamapi) is one of them. Although I also had a hard time choosing between him and Tegoshi (Mecha-kawaii!!!) And he’s a Kim HyunJoong look-a-like too (AlthoughI love KHJ but I don’t like ss501).

Yamapi's stare *Swoon*

2.) Koharu-chan (MoMusu)– Explained in a previous blog. But Kawaii~ Kawaii~ Koha-chan is not part of MoMusu anymore.

Now that Koha-chan is gone, how will I ever like MoMusu again? (Though I'm starting to like leader Ai Takahasi)

3.) Nino (Arashi)– Itooshi~ Itooshi Nino-kuun~ is my favorite. ‘Coz MatsuJun is already taken by one of my friends. But Nino kun is equally good looking so I chose him over Matsujun.

Haoooo~

4.) Kimutaku (SMAP)– The first SMAP member that I remembered. Although I love all of ’em, Kimura Takuya stands out to me the most. Although he’s quite old now, he’s still as dashing as ever (Kinda like KangTa? Lolz).

Kawaii ne?

5.) Jin (Kat Tun)– Another hard one. This time it’s Jinjin versus Kame but I’ve decided that my friend (The same friend that liked Mastujun) and I would share Kame with her and that Jin jin would be mine.

Sekushii~ No?

I still like the others though (some of ’em, perhaps) but these are the ones that have really caught my picky taste in favorites. Although some of the reasons are quite lame, I don’t care. All I know is that I LIKE THEM.

YG… You have Impressed Me Again w/ 2 MVs….

2NE1’s TRY TO FOLLOW ME MV… Yes..It’s Try to Follow me… Not Copy me…

The girls have shown their choreographic prowess…

Fave parts: Vader Dara chasing storm troopers CL and Minzy and everything w/ CL on it….

❤ the Star Wars Hat… Esp. the R2D2 one….

BIGBANG’s Lollipop 2 MV

Not as good as the first one (Maybe ‘coz 2NE1 was on it) but it’s okay…

Good to see T.O.P. dancing….. xD

And the Lollipop girl’s kinda pretty… (At first, I thought it was F(x)’s Sulli ‘coz of the hair…)

YG… You’re the hippest boss evarr…. Hands down…

And now, waiting for the ‘Black Soshi’ MV to be released on MArch 18…..

2NE1 Samsung Corby F CF: So This Was the MV That I Was Waiting For Huh?

On a previous post, I talked about 2NE1’s new song: Try to copy me (or Try to follow what I’m doing like others say).

I thought they were gonna make a new comeback song and compete with SNSD…. Again… Tsk…

But I was wrong…. The song was for  a CF (see video for more details).

And I said I was gonna wait for the MV of the song so this is it folks. The MV for Try to Copy Me.

CL is soo freakin’ CUTEE~ in this CF… And usually, you associate her with being bad-ass instead of cute…^^

Dara is dorky… As usual…^^

Can’t wait for their REAL comeback on April…^^

-Klarcatz-

New Single: Try To Copy Me (2NE1)

2NE1’s comeback song??

Not as good as the previous songs they released…

But as I keep on listening to it, the beat became stuck in my head…

Looks like we have another competiton Sonyuhs…

This song is soo Jjang!!

I’ll be looking forward to the MV of this song..^^

-Klarcatz-

Dara May Not Be a Good Singer…

Pambansang Krung2x

but I really like how she puts effort on the parts she sings.. And she does not do lipsynch…

And I think she sings better compared to YoonA of SNSD and SoHee of WG…

And some SNSD members…

And she’s a DORK.. I love DORKS….

She always takes time to communicate with the blackjacks through her cute Me2day updates…

And she misses/loves the Philippines.. I’m a FILIPINO and I am proud that Dara is proud to be once part of the Philippine showbiz industry…

She’s definitely on my appreciation list…

Dara Unnie!! Fighting!!

-Klarcatz-

If I Were To Rank SNSD, 2NE1 & WG’s Member Vocal Abilities….

It would be like this…

1. Bom– Yes. Bomtori, for me, has the best vocals among the girls. She has the strongest voice too in my opinion.

My fave perf…

You and I perf on Inkigayo…. She also sings the best when it comes to live performances.

Her version of We Ride….

2. TaeYeon– TaeTae!! You’re one of my favorite girls. But you’re just number two on my list. Her voice is also strong but sometimes, when I listen to her song, I fear that she can’t reach the notes but I feel relieved every time she hits the note right. Like what I said in my previous post, she send chills down my spine and her voice is so soothing. There are also times when I accuse her of lipsynching because her voice sounds the same when she sings live and she lipsynchs.

My favorite cover…

YounHa’s Gida Rida…. Ahhh….. So soothing…

My favorite part Genie (Tell me your wish)…. TaeYeon’s Adlib…

This is the perf where I thought she lipsynched…

3. YeEun– The one with best vocals in WG!! She can reach the high notes well and She and Daesung is the perfect match when comes to vocals (Wonder Bang FTW!!).

YeEun….. You’re killing me softly with your voice….

4. SunYe- She’s the second best for me. But she’s a great leader though her vocals are just secon

5. Minji- She can SING people. Rapping and Dancing is not her only talent.

Check out this perf with Lee Seung Chul… She totally owned in this performance…

6. CL- The same with Minki-baby…. She can sing too!!! See the video above for sample performance.

7.  Tiffany- She’s SNSD’s second best because her voice is also strong but not as soothing as TaeTae’s. I like her song ‘By Myself’ though…

8. Sunny- Strong voice. No wonder she’s part of SNSD’s best 5 when it comes to vocals

9.  Jessica- Her singing is quite good too. But only if can make her voice much stronger then she would go higher on my list.

10. SunMi- Not the best when it comes to vocals but she can sing.

11. SeoHyun- Maknae has a sweet voice and I like it.

12. Dara- She can sing much better compared to some SNSD members (SONES don’t kill me!!)

13. SooYoung

14. Yuri

15. HyoYeon

Those three are the best when it comes to dancing in SNSD. Their singing abilities? Well, I think they passed but really not that good.

16. Yoobin- She’d better stick to rapping. That’s her forte.

17. SoHee- Don’ ask…

18. Yoona- Don’t ask…

The italicized names are interchangeable… I can’t really identify which them has the better voice…

If you noticed that only the top three has videos. That is because I’m biased on my top three when it comes to vocals. I lurve their voices.

And I put a video on Minki-baby’s part because some people are not convinced that she can sing.

Maybe I should do one for the dancing rankings??

-Klarcatz-

My 2NE1 Member Rankings…

After doing an SNSD version, I decided that I’ll also do one for 2NE1 and WG. And my favorite boy groups as well, if I still have time ‘coz I still have to focus on studying for my midterms.

Like what I said before… Rankings may change.. Except for number one…. And no reasons posted except for the top three… ‘coz I don’t want the fans of number four to bash me….

1. Lee “CL” Chaerin

• She is Korea’s best and baddest girl rapper. She also has a good sense of style and she is a very charismatic leader like what the other blackjacks say about her. She’s also one of the youngest in the group but she’s more mature than the two eldest.  I love you Chaerin-ahh~

2. Gong “Minzy” Minji

• The sweet Maknae of the group. She’s also a good rapper and the BEST dancer in the group and I love her because of that.

3. Park Bom

• The girl with the best vocals in the group. I love her dorkiness and her love for food.

And last….

4. Park “Dara” Sandara

• Ssantoki is also dorky.. And I like her for that… But………*cuts off*

2NE1 and SNSD: Like Oil and Water

Why can't they share the same stage?

2NE9, 9NE1, 2NE1 Generation, What do you actually call the 2NE1 and So Nyuh Shi Dae interaction??

Do they even interact?

SNSD and 2NE1 are one of the fierce competitors of the best Kpop girl group of 2009 alongside with KARA… They are also two of the most awaited comebacks 0f 2010 with Lee Hyori and BigBang….

We get to see KARA and SNSD interact.. And touch each other’s behind…

But why can’t the same thing happen between SNSD and 2NE1? (Not the butt slapping)

Every time I visit YT to watch SNSD and 2NE1 perfs, I always see Sones and BlackJacks boasting about which group is better. It was kinda heart-wrenching because I liked both groups.

While waiting for the Mnet Asian Music Awards and the first ever Melon Music Awards last November and December, I expected either a joint performance or  a dance battle between SNSD and 2NE1 (Of course, I want the other girl groups to be there too). But sadly, SM boycotted the MAMAs and yes, both groups were present during the Melon Music Awards but what I expected did not happen. I just shrugged it off. Maybe in the Music Festivals of the top three stations in Korea, their joint stage would be possible.

But no…. It did not happen.. Tsk…..

There was once a news (c. Daily Kpop News) about the SBS Gayo Daejun having a dance battle and the best dancers of each girl group is said to be participating in that dance battle. But sadly, the said dance battle was not continued.. For some reason I do not know….

I was hoping for a dance battle with HyoYeon and Minzy on it but I guess it’s impossible..*Sigh*
Yes… I gotta admit…. I am one of those delusional fans who were hoping that SNSD and 2NE1 would perform together… I’m crazy….. Right??

It’s Impossible….. For now…..Maybe Someday….
They do have a few though… Here are some EPIC moments of 2NE1 and SNSD together…

'The Leadas..' That's supposed to be a song right??

Inkigayo Girls Talk… Epic….

I was spazzing out when I saw my two favorite girls CL and TaeYeon together… And Sunny and Dara were both cute here…

I wish Tiffany was included in the “we are jealous of you” group… She’ll fit-in right?

And here’s a little clip of sunny being a Dara fangirll….

And another one… Kekekekeke..

Sandara Sun? IMO, Sunny is a secret fan girl of 2NE1’s Sandara Park…

HyunAh, Sandara, Jessica and JoKwon @ Idol Big Show 2009..

Sica hugging Dara and HyunAh…

My girl, TaeTae also loves to dance to 2NE1’s songs…

Dances and lipsynchs to I Don’t Care

She knows the steps.. SHE KNOWS IT…. She’s also a secret fan girl IMO….

Secret fan girl strikes again with Let’s Go Party….

For those fans who are asking if SNSD and 2NE1 are friends.. They ARE… They just don’t have the time to interact with each other. I hope the Blackjacks and Sones stop bashing each other because all the kpop artists in Korea are a ONE BIG FAMILY…

.. 2NE1 and SNSD ish always next to my Wonder Generation..

I’ll finish this post with this fanmade video….

SNSD lipsynching to 2NE1’s I Don’t Care ish EPIC

When LSS Strikes….

Can't get it off of my head~

“RAH RAH AH AH AH ROMAH MAH MAH MAH GAH GAH OH LA LA.. Want Your Bad Romance..”

It’s the famous line from Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance… Can’t stop singing this song on my mind and every time that I’m alone….

It’s stuck on my head… I can’t stop singing… I’m just like a broken record..

Have you heard of disease called LSS? Also known as Last Song Syndrome?

Its only symptom…. When you find yourself singing the last song or any song that you have heard and you just can’t stop singing or humming its tune… There’s a certain line on that song that you just can’t stop singing…

I am a frequent victim of the disease…

And I can’t stop singing bad romance right now…

You don’t have to like that song if you can’t stop singing it.

I was LSS’d w/ Brittney’s Womanizer and I don’t even like that song….

Some of the famous songs that I got LSS’d with:

• I Don’t Care (2NE1)- I hated kpop at that time because I was a full-pledged jpop lover (See previous post about being kpop retarded for more info). This song was played everywhere. On the Radio, the TV, and even on the cellphones and ipods/mp3s of people I know. At first, I thought this was annoying because this song became stuck in my mind but later on, I began liking this song and kpop in general. I Don’t Care Eh eh eh eh eh~
• Gee (SNSD)- Same case with I Don’t Care. IDC and Gee became stuck on my my head at the same time. I can’t even stop dancing (When I’m alone, of course). Gee gee gee gee gee Baby baby baby~
• Any Shugo Chara song- Maybe because I watched too much Shugo Chara.
• Lady Gaga Songs- Just Dance~ Popopopokerface popopokerface~ Caaaught in a baaaad romaaaance~ The power of teh Gaga….

And a lot more…. My list is quite long….

I think that the only possible cure for this disease is time… You’ll get sick of singing this certain song someday…

Ohhhhhhhhhh………….. Caught in a BAD ROOOOMAAAANCEEE~

What’s up and a Closer Look on Kpop Fans… And Antifans..

More like: "How many weeks has it been?" Since I last updated this poor blog of mine.. Tsk 3x...

Osu! Yoboseyo! Kekekeke… 😀

It’s been a while since I last updated my blog…. Procrastinating much?

A lot has happened and I was not able to post anything on my blog on the past few weeks. I almost lost faith in SNSD (Because of a certain website whose name escapes me). Luckily, after reading some posts from soompi, I realized that no one is perfect. Idols can make mistakes too. Although I’m not really a big fan of SNSD anymore. Only of TaeYeon. I still think she rocks. She should go solo (Gawdd, the SONES are gonna kill me for saying that). I still like some of them: My Taengoo, Seororo the Maknae, SooYoung the Shikshin & HyoYeon the Dancing Queen (She needs more love y’know). About the other members.. I’m still contemplating…

And I also became an AfterSchool and Brown Eyed Girls fantard. Park Kahi (or GaHee) and Ga-In were added to my list of favorite Korean girls alongside with CL, TaeYeon and Amber. And CN Blue is officially added in my list of boybands to fangirl with.

I know, I’m nuts…. God, I sound so stupid….. I sound like some girl who has a crush with someone with the same sex. But who cares. JiSook of the girl group Rainbow and SunMi of the WonderGirls are TaeYeon fangirls too and so are some of the members of soompi and other forums and some people who have youtube accounts. I’m STRAIGHT….. I fangirl over BIGBANG, Super Junior and DBSK but I still think TaeYeon (and my other Korean girl idols: Park GaHee, CL, & Amber) is awesome.

And a few days ago, I started watching Japanese movies again to regain my identity as a Japanese culture lover. Been watching too much Korean stuff lately and kinda makes me sick. Kamikaze Girls was probably the best among the flicks that I have seen. Anna Tsuchiya is my HERO.

That’s what’s up for me in the past few weeks.

Now, I want to say something about Kpop fans… And Antifans..

Idol groups value their fans so much that they forget about their personal (love) life. They tend to serve them by giving them some taste of fan service (e.g. fan pairings) and they update their pages on the web just for them.

If  Idol groups have a lot of fans, they also have a bunch of antifans. Take So Nyuh Shi Dae for an example. While they have a lot of guys (and girls, maybe) loving them, they also have a massive number of antis/haters watching every move they make. It’s kinda twisted though. Why would they stalk (?) someone they hate so much? Well, stalk is probably not the right term. These girls even have their #1 hater group called STAND subs who has the motto: “Be strong ’til all 9 are gone“. They (fake) sub videos of Korean songs into words that are strongly against the mentioned group. SNSD is probably the only group in the kpop industry who has their own anti website and that is a very sad thing to know because no one likes to be hated. Especially by a huge number of people. Right?

When a certain group makes a mistake, antifans or fans of another group will make the issue bigger or make a fuss out of it which is very annoying. Why can’t they just quit hating and continue fangirling/fanboying over their favorite groups? Most of the antis I see in the net are very rude. They don’t know how to make their statements politically and grammatically correct though they are a few who cite their reasons on why they don’t like the group with the correct usage of words. I respect those kind of fans and I respect their stand about why they hate on them. Usually, fangirls of male idol groups hate on girl groups because they’re getting chummy with their boys. Cassopeia is the largest fanbase of the entire Korean music industry. Most of the cassies are probably Antis of SNSD and few of them are also SONES (or SNSK shippers). Well here’s what I can say to the Cassies/Antis: the DBSK boys are actually SNSD fanboys. You can search for it on youtube and you’ll see Xiah Junsu dancing to SNSD songs. My point here is that us fangirls don’t really have a chance to be with our favorite male group and that they should just leave the poor (?) girls alone. They’re not really doing anything wrong. The same thing goes for the ELFs of Super Junior and all the other fans of male groups who has worked with SNSD. Most of the Wonderfuls, or the WonderGirls fans, are also SNSD antis…. I hate it when people compare these two groups. Both groups are friends so suck. it. up.

I also noticed that there are a lot of anti videos and hate comments about Jessica, TaeYeon, Tiffany, and Yoona while none for SooYoung, Yuri and maknae SeoHyun. If they hate a certain member of a group, why do they hate the group as a whole? Antis can’t probably find some flaws from the last three members that I mentioned.

I also find some fans annoying. They keep on defending their favorite group and most of them just can’t argue with enough decency. Most of their replies to negative comments are very vulgar. Why can’t they just give comments in a calm manner and not put exclamation points at the end of their sentences or swear/curse in their posts. If they want to defend their own group, they don’t have to pull the reputation of the group lower. If they continue to be rude, other fans will think that the fans of this certain group are rude/violent and consider them as outcasts.

IMO, I think the most behave fans are the VIPs or the BigBang fans (Yeah! Proud to be VIP!). They don’t really care who gets close with their boys and I don’t see much bashing from them. They also don’t get jealous when their sister group, 2NE1 gets close with one of the boys. In sum, I think YG fans are mature and unbiased.

On the contrary, I think most of the SME fans (Sones, Cassies, Elfs…) are quite aggressive in their fangirling/fanboying. They tend to go far for the sake of their idol groups. Most of these fans are rich people willing to pay big for their fave group’s albums and goodies .

I don’t know what will happen after I publish this post. Maybe I’ll be flooded with negative comments just posting the things that I wanted to say… Well, who knows….

I really suck at ending posts like these.. Gawwd….
