Hyorin Appreciation Post


Mother of God.  I've got the biggest lady-crush ever on Hyorin.

My favorite quote about Hyorin thus far:
"Korean Beyonce?  Please.  Beyonce is American Hyorin."

And it's true.  She's so amazing she makes me rethink the existence of God.  Let's review the facts, shall we?


1) Crazy body.  Crazy.  T & A* on a Korean girl, what!?!
*But, like, Korean/White Girl Ass - not black girl booty.  That would be unreasonable and probably a little silly looking.

2) She knows how to move that body.  I'm kind of aware that there's another girl in this video, but for the most part the rest of the world becomes fuzzy around Hyorin and the fineness that is the movement of Hyorin's hips.

3) Her face.  Look at her face.  Her smile KILLS me.  And apparently she (and other people in Korea) don't think she's pretty?!?  I can kind of understand the ways that her face doesn't fit the Korean 'ideal face' - but it's so beautiful and goes together so perfectly that I don't understand how anyone could complain.  I am apparently a sucker for big ol' dingy smiles and pretty eyes, but I'm pretty sure everyone else on the planet is, too.



4) Let's talk about Hyorin dancing some more.  One of the most impressive things about Beyonce is that she's a total performer - she dances and sings at the same time, and obviously puts out insane effort to be an incredible performer at all times.  Most Kpop idols don't sing + dance all that well, unfortunately.  And often times, the ones who dance well don't sing all that well and vice versa.  (Speaking of Beyonce,) Please examine exhibit 4 below:

5) You couldn't really tell if that was her voice before, could you?  You were kind of like, 'Maybe that's a recording, she couldn't really be singing, right?' WRONG.  Hyorin has hands-down one of the best voices in Kpop.  Seriously.  (You can skip ahead to 1:52 for the awesome if you don't feel like watching her be ADORABLE for the first 2 minutes.)

SHE'S PERFECT, YOU GUYS.  PERFECT.
HYORIN LET ME LOVE YOU.  <3

Also, this video is awesome.  Sistar is pretty great all around, I mean.... I think they're great?  Hyorin is in Sistar, therefore Sistar is good.  Because Sistar is a little bit like "Starship Presents: Hyorin! and Sistar!"  And... That used to annoy me in other groups (Destiny's Child, actually), but Hyorin's light shines so fucking brightly that I really don't care. (I did not understand the brilliance of Beyonce when I was thinking that about Destiny's Child back in the day. My friend Ella tried to explain it to me but I didn't really get it then. I get it now.)
 

So.  I've been surfing around looking for the right clips/pictures/gifs for this post.
And then I came across this:


WHAT. Hyorin with short hair?

Ren + Balloons = Angry Bunny

I've watched the video in this link at least 15 times today and it has made me laugh out loud every single time.  I also wish I could find it on youtube so I didn't have to link it like this - but oh well.  You should definitely click through.

HIS LITTLE SCREAM, THOUGH.

Anticipations

SUJU is coming back!  Woooo!  With Kangin!   I'm really happy Leeteuk gets to be on one more album before he's off to the army.  Also.... apparently SM is sticking with the "70s porn theme" still (1st with the disco version for Mr. Simple, then with SHINee's laid-back half-naked boys, and now Suju's back with the peace & love hippie version).  No complaints, though - SM knows how to make it's fangirls happy.

Even though Suju is who started my huge obsession in the first place, and I'm sure I'll still love the album- I have difficulty anticipating the music too much, since all their singles continue to sound just like Sorry Sorry....  I sincerely hope they mix it up a bit more, but I'm not holding my breath.

I am, however, holding my breath for this morsel of fabulousity which will be debuting soon:


It's JoKwon, Bitches!  Fuck yeah!  Finally doing dance music like the flamingly gay diva that he is should be making!  Yesssssss.  God I love diva boys.  It's why I'm super partial to Key and Heechul, too.  But JoKwon's bitch face is the BEST ever.  He's always high on the list of kpop video-stuffs that I force my friends to watch when I'm introducing them to Kpop, even though I don't listen to 2AM at all.  Like never.  




Anyway, I'm hoping that JoKwon's single-artist debut will rock my socks off in terms of high-energy dance pop.  I think the fact that his promo poster claims "100% Daily Value of Endorphins" is a good sign that my wish may come true.

Fuck You, King 2 Hearts

You're such an asshole, Episode 15.  You made me cry.  TWICE.
Motherfucking good Korean actresses making me all overcome with national pride for a country I'm not even a citizen of.  Stupid mopey heart-wrenching storyline.



Also, Ha Ji Won, I've got a bone to pick with you.  Half the time in this show (and in Secret Garden as well) I think you're the coolest fucking thing around.  And then you turn on your simpering I'm-An-Innocent-Korean-Girl that your BAMFy self should absolutely despise, and I pretty much want to kick you in the face.  Why can't you just be a badass all the time?  DO IT.

UPDATE:


FUCK YOU, SHOW!  I still had 15 minutes left when I wrote the above bit.

Apparently dead-king Hyung had one more ridiculous tear-jerking moment of romantic nationalism and marriage vows he had to get out.  That's THREE FUCKING TIMES, show.  THREE.  You're supposed to be a goddamn comedy.
