Lord god, I've been lazy. :joops: there's been a lot of stuff going on that I guess 3 months went by without me making a journal post on JPA! How strange...
Well then, hello again, JPA. :RBhalo: It's been so long since I've written a journal entry, that I don't have any idea what I should right about! :joops: What a fail, huh? Let's think....
Well, there are finals next week! Not sure how I'll do on those... I guess I'll have...

Well then, hello again, JPA. :RBhalo: It's been so long since I've written a journal entry, that I don't have any idea what I should right about! :joops: What a fail, huh? Let's think....
Well, there are finals next week! Not sure how I'll do on those... I guess I'll have to study if I want to do well though. xD Yeah, that was me trying to be obnoxious(though I really will have to study if i want to do well for math... o_0 )I also have an interview coming up for a volunteer position at the hospital! It's actually the first time I'm going in for this kind of interview, so I'm not really sure what to do ^_^; I hope I get in though, cause I need the hours!!!
In terms of kpop tho... there are a lot of artists that are making good comebacks! Like MBLAQ, GD&TOP, Seungri, TVXQ, Infinite, and Teen Top. Infinite and surprisingly Teen Top's comebacks were especially good! Infinite with 'Before the Dawn' has a more 90s American Boyband feel to it... even though I'm born in '94, it still makes me nostalgic of the early 2000s!! Teen Top tho... 'Supa Love' has got me converted into a fan. xD Though not a crazy fangirl, since half of them are younger than me. :RBundecided:
TVXQ, MBLAQ, GD&TOP, Seungri are ALL AMAZING tho. And it's not surprising at all! 'Stay', 'Keep Your Head Down', 'High High' and 'V.V.I.P.' have all been stuck in my head for the past week! xD
Alright, I'm going to end this post, hopefully I'll make some more journal posts in 2011

wow, my last journal entry was 2 months ago! :shocked: time really does fly by... i'm already into my third month of school. xD
so yea, i'm just saying hi to JPA since it's been so long since i've made a post! :) it doesn't look like it, but i've actually been on JPA quite frequently in the past two months, but i just haven't had time to make a post. School's been keeping me busy! I don't know, it feels like i've been getting a lot of work (wh...

School's been keeping me busy! I don't know, it feels like i've been getting a lot of work (which i HAVE) but then again it doesn't. :RBundecided:
In the kpop world... October's been really busy!! xD i've been updating my mp3 constantly since so many artist's have been making their comeback and debuts. My favorites/most memorable ones have been 2PM, U-Kiss, Touch, and Beast's!
Idk, people haven't really been liking 'I'll be back'(2PM), but honestly i think it's amazing! junsu's makeup is awesome and the choreography is so energetic. U-Kiss comeback... what can I say, at first i was kinda weirded out by 'Shut Up!'s mv but by the third time i really liked it! It's kind of stupid how they have a censored and uncensored version when all they do is take out the shirtless sections :RBstickout: Plus, they're youngest member is like 16, so it really defeats the purpose of making it unable to be viewed by anyone under 18.
Touch is a group i found just a couple days ago. They debuted really suddenly, but they're title song 'Me' is fantastic. I've been listening to it frequently for about a week now. They've apparently been getting a lot of attention overseas too! I read that they promoted outside of korea before debuting.
And last, but definitely NOT least... BEAST! With the teaser they gave for 'Soom' the actual song wasn't really what I was expecting. But the techno beat intro is really daft punk esque and the song as a whole is so catchy... i've really started to like it. 
lol, but when I saw the mv, i thought one of the members was Caucasian. xD I still don't know his name, but he doesn't really look Korean, so I've taken to calling him, 'The American', haha. I know he's korean though, so you mega-crazy fans, don't kill me!
Now it's 2AM's turn!! They're making their comeback this week on... music bank? anyway, they're amazing! 'Like Crazy' was wonderful but 'You Would Answer My Calls' is what you should pay attention to. Seulong can ACT!
Oh, speaking of crazy fans, that girl 'Jihyun' at 2PM's fan signing is CRAAAAAZYY!! "OPPA! OPPA, OPPA, OPPA, OPPA, OPPA, OPPA!!!" :shocked: :shocked: 2PM seems to always get the really crazy fans...
here's the end of my rant! It's 9PM over here and I still have to do english homework... · close
It's September... ALREADY?!?!?!?! >_< I can't believe it, where did summer go??? School starts for me on September 2nd... which is tomorrow, and I'll be a junior. It feels like as the years go by and I get older, summer seems to get SHORTER AND SHORTER. :crying:
At first it was kind of exciting to go back to school, but yesterday I got my schedule, and now all the curiosity has just GONE. People say that Junior year is the hardest year of high school (we have PSAT's, ...

At first it was kind of exciting to go back to school, but yesterday I got my schedule, and now all the curiosity has just GONE. People say that Junior year is the hardest year of high school (we have PSAT's, culminating project, colleges to think about, extracurricular activities, and SCHOOLWORK) and with my classes, there is no doubt in my mind that this year will be hell. The nice thing though is that I'm no longer a newbie Sophomore. I'm RETURNING, not ARRIVING. xD
I've been spending the day getting ready for tomorrow; doing laundry... AND WATCHING KPOP VIDEOS!!!! I just watched 2PM's Idol Army when SHINee guest starred (and Jay was still the leader!! 
) and it was hilarious! The only thing I'll say about it is this: NICKHUN&MINHO FOREVERRRRRRRRR. :laughing: I'm about to watch the Christmas episode with 2AM and I'm sure everyone knows THAT will be hilarious (Jokwon will make SURE OF IT)
Ah, quick update before I end this journal!! =D My copy of TaeYang's SOLAR album that I ordered arrived last thursday!!!! :RBheart: Even though I completely broke my oath to not listen to any of the songs, I feel very happy that I ordered Solar. Though I have to say that the songs are... WOW! TaeYang really went all out in the explicit corner didn't he? Now my next target will be SHINee's first mini album!!!! And hopefully 2009, Year of Us.
bye bye~ · close
Back when TaeYang's Solar album came out, I made a resolution to order it as soon as I could! Now I'm fulfilling that resolution, since I just ordered Solar a couple days ago!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! :D :D :D
I can't wait, I can't wait for it to arrive! I ordered YB's(Youngbae- Taeyang's name) album from Yesasia, so naturally it's going to take a while to arrive, but I'm sure it'll be safe when it does! I think there's maybe one ...

I can't wait, I can't wait for it to arrive! I ordered YB's(Youngbae- Taeyang's name) album from Yesasia, so naturally it's going to take a while to arrive, but I'm sure it'll be safe when it does! I think there's maybe one song left on that album that I haven't heard, and i'm going to keep it that way until i get the album(you'll have to go back to my other posts to see why).
Haha, I just read the translated lyrics for 'Take it Slow' and oh my gooooooooooodddd it was shocking! My eyes popped open wide because of all the... yea. I think you can figure out why (If not... i guess you can go read it for yourself)
Gahh, it's almost 2am over here (kyaaa!! 2am! i've been listening to them lately ) I should be getting to sleep. But now I've remembered 2am!! But more specifically JoKwon, the WEEEEEEIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDD leader. And I say that in the most positive way possible.
Before I thought Heechul from Super Junior, Jung Joori, and Gackt were the weirdest/strangest people in asian media. AND THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT JO KWON. :shocked: There are honestly no words to describe his character(on tv at least). I would say more about this topic, but i can't. The words have left me, it seems. xD
OH!! SIDE NOTE!! SCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL. :RBcrying: :RBcrying: :RBcrying: I have about 18-17 days of summer left, and then I'm off back to school, freaking out about projects and studying for tests. It feels like summer just zipped by! :crying:
wow, i jumped all over the place... well, good night! or good morning, since it's 2AM over here. lol

If you think I mean the Devil, or that J-rock group, then you're wrong! I mean, SHINee's new MV for their song LUCIFER which released almost an hour ago!!! :D :D
I got into SHINee pretty recently- on the 16 of July this year to be exact- and I really enjoyed their music! 'Love Like Oxygen' and 'A-yo' and a bunch of their other songs are my favorites.

ANYWAY! Back to their new mv! It was really cool, the outfits were amazing- LOVE Jonghyun's outfit and Taemin's hair!! The song is really catchy, the mv fits PERFECTLY with the song. xD
My friend pointed this out to me, but cars seem to be a recurring theme for SHINee! It was also in their 'Ring Ding Dong' mv. Don't get me wrong, I think the cars were a great edition- JONGHYUN IN FRONT OF THE PORSCHE, OH MY GOD- to the mv. It's really smooth and elegant. xD
I was REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS MV!!! >_< I woke up at 7:30am today(it's the equivalent to 12am in South Korea where I live) and waited ALL DAY for it! I wanted to upload it onto JPA, which is why I ended up stalking SM's youtube channel and allkpop. But sadly, I was beaten to it-by 26 minutes!! I'll get over it tho. By tomorrow, I won't feel so sad!
Lol, I'll finish my rant here. Hope it was interesting to read! Tell me what you guys think of the mv! Here's the URL just in case you haven't seen it yet.

Btw, this new color is in honor of their new mv! I thought it matched well with the MV's theme.
Not only the game, which you've lost now too, but the resolution I made to not listen to any of songs on Taeyang's newly released album, SOLAR. :RBcrying:
I swore to myself that I would wait until I got the album in my hands to listen to SOLAR, but I broke it... very quickly. I've listened to 'Superstar' and 'After You Fall Asleep'!!

Not only the game, which you've lost now too, but the resolution I made to not listen to any of songs on Taeyang's newly released album, SOLAR. :RBcrying: After You Fall Asleep Superstar Those are the songs if you're interested in listening to them. K, I think I have enough resolve now to not listen to any of the other songs. I think these two songs will keep me from listening to 'I need a girl' (which has GDRAGON in it!!!). Wish me luck!

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8yby-UHQPw&feature=related[/url] I think 'After You Fall Asleep' has trumped my love for 'Superstar'... it has such a quirky beat to it! :RBhalo: It has the ability to involuntarily force anyone who's listening to it to start singing along with it. xD Not that Superstar isn't something you don't want to sing along with; the melody is so nice that you WANT to sing with it.
-goes off to listen to 'after you fall asleep-
THE WAIT IS OVER!!! :RBheart: :D :high5:
Taeyang's SOLAR album is out! -spazz attack- -hyperventilating- We Taeyang fans have been waiting and waiting, getting only tidbits of Taeyang's new album to keep us satisfied, but now we can relax!

From the previews, 'Superstar' and 'After You Fall Asleep' have been my favorites. Superstar is really upbeat and catchy, while 'After You Fall Asleep' is more melodic, but is catchy as well. Here's a youtube link to all the previews released so far! What's your favorite?? Taeyang SOLAR Track Previews 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8: -continues spazz attack- :high5:

So Weibird Wei is a new artist, his debut album just released yesterday! :D I just found that out right now, and am so surprised, I've known this song for a couple weeks now. :) His voice is absolutely amazing, it's so extremely soothing. I suggest you take a look at this song of his, it's so wonderful. I give you... "You Mei You" :)

DUDE! it's my JPA birthday!! :D
I was so close to forgetting that, but I remembered in the nick of time. :) Wow, it's been 1 year since I've joined the Jpopasia family! It's amazing how time flies, isn't it? ;)

I'm extremely grateful that I was able to find JPA, it's really been my oasis to vent out on all things concerning kpop. lol, I'm always laughing to myself or saying random things when I watch kpop videos or think about things I've read on kpop artists, so my whole family thinks I'm crazy now. It's nice to know that there's a super awesome site where there are other people who love the same music as I do!
Here's to another awesome year with Jpopasia! Let the Hallyu and Jpop waves continue so that our favorite artists can gain all the recognition and success they deserve. We all know they are amazing, it's about time the world knows it too Good luck to all the artists who are facing obstacles, to the artists who are trying to broaden their horizons, and to the trainees who are working so hard to make it!
