because i'm up farting around on tumblr anyway:
day 07: a k-pop song that makes you cry
AS OF AN HOUR AGO, YOU GUYS, I AM NO LONGER MADE OF STEEL. And it's all THEIR fault:
Click to view...of course. GODDAMMIT, GUYS. 8'|
Anyway! As you could probably guess from the title this is technically a Japanese song, but since they're Korean and it's their song and it made me really emotional a little while ago for, like, no discernable reason (h-hormonal, maybe???) I'm throwing it up on this here meme anyway. Let me first say that I hate, hate the recorded version. I do like my soppy ballads most of the time, but goddamn could this song stand to pull it back a few inches. Feet. Miles.
Live, though? Particularly in this clip? STUNNING. Especially from around 4:30 on, though the entire performance is just gorgeous (as are they, since I can't let it go unsaid hurrhurr). I mean, Junsu. aaaaa JUNSU. Junsu is amazing. And don't you just adore his and Changmin's funny singingfaces? 8) Some of the English in this song is used pretty, uhhh, interestingly, but other than that? ~amazing performance, flawless, etc.
Not sure why the live version doesn't make me want to bash my own head in like the recorded version does (probably the lack of ridiculous opening + I can see how ~passionate they are), but uhh, THANKS FOR THE EXTRA MUCUS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE, YOU GUYS. betches :(
day 08: a k-pop song you know all the words to
...
...WELP, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR. lol sorry boring 8'( I can sing along to a lot of them in that womp-womp language spoken by all the adults in Charlie Brown, though! Which is to say: damn, Korean language, you hard as hell to pronounce.
day 09: your favorite k-pop performance
GURL I HAVE TOO GODDAMN MANY OF THOSE. DBSK makes up quite a few of my favorite performances, but I think if I post more DBSK on this meme than what's really necessary anonymous might shoot me. Besides, my favorite DBSK performance is of "Ride On". LOL, OF ALL THINGS. Blame it on Yunho whippin' his hair back and forth. (WERK IT WERK IT WERK IT, BOI)
SO HERE'S A PERFORMANCE I'M QUITE FOND OF FROM ANOTHER ARTIST:
OLD SE7EN PERFORMANCE IS OLD, AND WHAT IS WITH HIS HAIR AND HIS CLOTHES? ... but goddammit he is just so cute. Actually, this performance is full of cute people. Just look at his back-up dancers/the girl he's dancing with. Look at them. socute. (And hot, but that goes without saying.)
day 10: a k-pop dance you'd like to learn, or, which dances would I be most willing to break my neck trying to attempt?
I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. HERE YOU GO:
SORRY, MORE OF THEM but look at that dance, that dance looks fun as hell. And also I would probably hurt myself.
LMAO I WOULD LOOK RIDICULOUS but this, too, looks fun as hell to do. And also I would definitely hurt myself.
day 11: your favorite k-pop music video
One of my favorite songs by GD, and goddamn if the video isn't... well. PRETTY. Pretty goes far with me. :Q___
day 12: the very first k-pop song you ever heard
YOU SAW IT COMING
Anyway, yeah. I believe when I first searched for "korean music" or something like that this was one of the first music videos that came up, and I recall my reaction going something like this:
1. "Cool. Sweaty guy punching stuff."
2. "......is that a girl or a guy"
3. "Dude. Hair."
4. "o okay this is pretty cool actually"
...
...
...
5. "JFC THAT GUY CAN SCREAM, IS THAT REAL"
6. /puts on repeat for days
SO YEAH. idek what else to say because I am finally, finally starting to actually become sort of sleepy, BUT THIS IS WHAT STARTED IT. It was them. It's always them. ಠ_ಠ
