Winner is announced and sets off fangirl tears

Last Friday night, I had arrived home late from work and was beyond tired. But I forced myself to stay up long enough to cast my vote for WIN: Who Is Next's final battle. Soon after hitting send on my KakaoTalk account, I fell asleep. At a little after midnight, I woke up with a start realizing I had not even had dinner yet. But my top priority was to find out who was announced the winner and YG's new boy group. Team A won. I'd be lying to myself...

Super Show 5 Live in Manila

Indeed, the best things in life are free. Especially when they happen to be VIP tickets to Super Junior's concert. So, yes. I was able to watch Super Show 5 last night and the boys were beyond awesome. And how are they all more gorgeous in real life? I don't understand. There were countless of moments when Donghae or Sungmin or Kangin would be standing right in front of me and I would shout to my sister in awe, "Oh my gawd, how is he so pretty?"...

Super Show 5 might be within my reach

I've been self-pitying over the fact that a number of my favorite k-pop artists will be visiting the country and I'm going to be too poor to see them. Aside from the fact that I have bills to pay, I'm also saving up for my upcoming trip to Vietnam, and there are those Wicked musical tickets I've also been coveting. Concert tickets just isn't in the budget. So I had put on a brave front and said goodbye to the prospect of watching Super Junior's...

New Drama Roundup: The Heirs, Mi-rae's Choice

While I'm still fully invested in the progress of my ongoing shows (i.e. We Got Married, WIN: Who Is Next?) and have bid farewell to the recently concluded Master's Sun, I have to admit that I have yet to finish Good Doctor. And it looks like it might take me awhile to get it over with. I know it's a good show and I've read really good reviews. But for some reason, I can't seem to make myself sit in front of my laptop and focus on the drama. Especially...

Wrapping Up: Master's Sun

Before I jump into SBS's new Wednesday-Thursday drama The Heirs, allow me to fully give closure to the recently-ended Hong Sisters drama Master's Sun. Like most of you, I went into this drama with one foot out the door, just in case the writing goes haywire. Because of that-drama-that-will-not-be-named, despite my earlier devotion to the sister-duo's better dramas, there was much hesitation and trepidation going into Master's Sun. I'm...

Yong-hwa looking dapper in new stills from Mi-rae's Choice

The forthcoming premiere of Mi-Rae's Choice is near and more stills and teasers have been coming out of the woodwork. Not quite enough to rival the promotional monster of The Heirs, but almost. New photos of Jung Yong-hwa have been released and our boy is looking mighty fine and dapper in a pin-striped suit befitting his character's true chaebol status. Yonghwa plays the role of Park Sae Ju, the grandson of a broadcast station's CEO, who...

WIN causes major feels for YG fans the world over

As a self-proclaimed YG fan stan, I've been keeping up with reality-survival show WIN: Who Is Next and my feels are currently all over the place. Let me start off by saying that both teams are incredibly talented. To be honest, they may already be at par with the Big Bang members when this sunbae group first debuted. Both teams are mind-blowingly good and to have only one of them debut and the other disbanded will emotionally kill me....

Major Lazer's Korean version of "Bubble Butt" features GD&TOP

After much anticipation, Major Lazer releases the Korean version of the Diplo produced track "Bubble Butt" which features both G-Dragon and T.O.P of Big Bang. Others who feature on the song are Bruno Mars, Tyga, and Mystic. While I'm not feeling the song (because I've had it up to here with ass references in my hip-hop), I'm just happy being able to hear T.O.P again. It's been ages (a year or so is a long time in Hallyuverse) since Big Bang has...
