30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 30

Wow, I can't believe today is the last day for the 30 Day Kpop Challenge!! It's been so fun posting videos and blogs about all our choices :)

The last question: Name a K-pop idol that has amazing eye smiles.

Jihyun: RAIN ^^

Lei Lei: Ooooo.....this is a good one. I'm torn between two ppl right now. Wait that's totally what Honorable Mentions are for, so in that case I pick 2PM's Junho. That boy has amazing eye smiles :)

Honorable Mention

Nichkhun

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 29

Day 29: A k-pop song you never get tired of

Jihyun: As a Super Junior bias it would have to be SORRY SORRY by SJ :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6QA3m58DQw

Lei Lei: Why I Like You- Super Junior (did you expect something else. Lol). This song's the first thing I play when I get into the car. I've had my Suju 3rd album CD for over a year now and still it (or any of the songs for that matter) never gets old.

30 Day Kpop Challenge: Day 25

Day 25: Your favorite k-pop music video

Today seems to be a repeat so we will instead change this to music video we most dislike.

Jihyun: Some of the concepts that kpop groups choose are really questionable, but I enjoy them anyway. Although their hair or clothes might be atrocious, I still like to watch them and laugh at the bad choices the cordi-noonas picked out. Lol. The video I most dislike isn't a kpop group at all, it's actually JYP's video KISS.

Watch it here if you dare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSAm0naBD-8

- Don't get me wrong, the chorus and the beat is catchy but the video scares me. Lol.

Lei Lei: TBA

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 24

Day 24: A picture of a k-pop idol who you think is overrated

Jihyun: All of SNSD especially Taeyeon .

Lei Lei: Wonder Girl (And I think I can legitly say this, cause I've seen them in concert before. They're okay and all, but I wasn't really impressed)

30 Day Kpop Challenge: Day 23

Day 23: A picture of a k-pop idol who you think is underrated

Jihyun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuPnZ-4kkxI

RedSoul, they aren't exactly a kpop "idol" idol group :P I love them anyway and I can't wait until they get more attention. Their acapella is amazing. Above I put a link for "Heartbeat" by 2PM. You're going to love it! Hope they get some new fans.

Lei Lei: I don't know if I would necessarily consider this underrated, seeing as I don't live in Korea and therefore don't know what's streaming their airways on a daily basis, but a rarely hear a lot about rap groups from the Kpop media outlets that I do have access to. One of those groups that I like and would like the see more coverage on is Mighty Mouth. The first time I heard their music was the on Kpop ONDemand, which was amazing, because before then I'd never really heard anything about them.

30 Day Kpop Challenge: Day 22

Day 22: Your favorite picture of your favorite k-pop group

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 21

Jihyun:


Lei Lei:

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 20

Day 20: Your favorite picture of your guy k-pop bias

Jihyun: My favorite kpop guy bias is Hyun Joong and below is my favorite picture of him ^^

Lei Lei: Kyuhyunnie :)

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 19

Day 19: Your favorite interview of a k-pop idol or group

Jihyun: I can't think of a favorite interview. Maybe the one Super Junior did with CNN?? I was very happy for them (being international idols and such). Siwon and Leeteuk were the "special" members who got to speak in the actual interview. As an international ELF I was so excited about their success and influence on the global market. - I'll provide a link soon ^^

Lei Lei: My favorite interview is one from a long time ago around Super Junior's Don't Don period. In the interview Eunhyuk is telling the story of how he and Junsu made Donghae cry by telling him he was going to change and get a big head after it became famous. I don't know why I like that particular interview so much. It's just funny and I just it's refreshing to he Donghae get picked on seeing as he's usually the violent abuser. Anyway. Everything in good fun. Lol.

Honorable Mention:

MTV's Vice Guide to Everything (totally neglected Super Junior *smh)

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 18

Day 18!! Wow things are moving pretty fast. Jihyun here with the answers ^^

Which kpop idol do you want as a younger sibling? Funny Lei Lei and I picked the same person, but for different reasons.

Our pick: Baby Magnae of magnae's.... Ukiss DONGHO!!

He's so sweet XD

I'd love to have him as a little brother, I'd spoil him all the time.

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 17

Day 17 - Wow this is an interesting question.... Name a kpop idol you wish was your older sibling.

Jihyun:

Siwon- I picked him because he seems like such a fun person to be around. Very protective and loving ^^ He would probably spoil me to pieces. Lol. And I'd get to have the other members as oppas.

Lei Lei:

Nichkhun - The fact that I don't really pay much attention to Kpop girl groups basically cuts away the idea of me picking a proper older sister if myself, which narrows it down to Kpop male idols. However, the last thing I think about when I think of most of the Kpop male idols that I know is having them related to me. It's weird, but for some reason I can see Nichkhun taking on the older brother role. He's an inspiration to me. I aspire to speak multiple languages someday and he's definitely someone I look up to, knowing three himself on a conversational basis. Not just that, but Nichkhun breathes gentlemen. I know he'd be the type of older brother who looks out for his little sister and takes the occasional little sib nagging. Also I read somewhere that when he gets mad he speaks in all three languages that I knows, so I think it'd be funny to purposely get him angry sometimes just to entertain myself. Lol.

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 16

Day 16: Your favorite k-pop lyric (and a translation)

Jihyun: My favorite kpop lyrics are Marry U - (Super Junior)

Super Junior trumps all boy bands -prior and future- because of this song's lyrics.

Lei Lei: Because You're a Man(Gummy)

~Chorus Lyrics~
그 댄 남자라서 남자라서 죽어도 몰라요
geudaen namjaraseo namjaraseo jugeodo mollayo
내 가 부족해서 너무 못나서 그대만 바라보고 있죠
naega bujokhaeseo neomu motnaseo geudaeman barabogo itjyo
그댄 남자라서 남자라서 날 이해 못하죠
geudaen namjaraseo namjaraseo nal ihae motajyo
그저 자유롭고 싶겠죠 변할 수는 없겠죠 남자라서
geujeo jayuropgo sipgetjyo byeonhal suneun eopgetjyo namjaraseo

~Translation~

Since you’re a man, since you’re a man, you wouldn’t know even if you died
Since I’m lacking, Since I’m foolish, I’m only looking at you
Since you’re a man, since you’re a man, you don’t understand me
You probably just want to be free, you probably won’t be able to change, because you’re a man

Honorable Mentions:

Noona's Song - Lyn ft. E.Via (Jihyun)

It's You - Super Junior

Flowerpot - Alex Chu (Jihyun)

Let's Not - Super Junior (Lei Lei)

Monster- Super Junior (Lei Lei)

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 15

So sorry for not posting on time! I totally fell asleep during my blogging process.... ugh, school. Okay so here we go for Day 15 ^^ A kpop song that reminds you of someone you miss.

Jihyun: So I (Super Junior)

Everytime I hear this song I think about Kangin and when the whole group was together. I wish they didn't go through the break-up and toss out of Hangeng and Kibum. Lol. I still love the group, but my favorite times were when they were a family. It makes me miss the original Super Junior.

Lei Lei: Shake It Up (Super Junior)

This makes me miss Hankyung. It's one of the songs from Super Junior's 4th album and I promise you that there's a part where it's singing in it even though this was supposedly after he left. If you look the lyrics up it'll say the Leeteuk's the one singing, but yea I doubt that and I don't think I'm the only one who believes that he has a part in this song. Maybe SM was too lazy or cheap to redo it and thought the no one would notice.

30 Day Kpop Challange: Day 14

Hi Jihyun here with Day 14 - Today's question is a kpop song that makes you smile.


As of now the two kpop songs that make me smile are Dalmatian's The Man Opposed and IU's Good Day.

And for me (Lei Lei) - Love in the Ice by DBSK.

Jihyun: (UPDATE) So a kpop dance I'd like to learn is Into the New World by SNSD. I haven't attempted to learn any of it, but I'd be so happy if I got the chorus down. Lol.
