Seung-chan's Diary: 'Specky Guy' and Brave Hearts (120716) [PHOTOS]

0 comments
I heard that specky guy (wearing spectacles) is popular in Japan now. I want to be a specky guy too so I'm wearing glasses. How is it? Suits me, right?

Today, while wearing a stylish suit, I went to interview the guest for Sakigake Ongaku Banzuke.

That person is Takei Emi-chan! She's the most loved actress by all men in Japan right now! She's much younger than me, but she surely has an aura I can't describe!
After I interviewed her, I got to know why she's popular. She's lively and her eyes shine^^ She also responded to all of my reckless jokes.
From now on, I support her in becoming an even better actress and I'm really looking forward to that! Emi-chan, I wish you all the best!!
But she.. she said she likes T.O.P.. Am I not good..
It can't be helped, don't have time, I'm sorry. (He's rhyming in Japanese: Shoga nai, Jikan ga nai, Moshi wake nai)
Also, there's this movie, Brave Hearts (Umizaru), that was released just recently. Miura Shouhei suggested it to me. I watched it and it was great!! I think Japanese movies are awesome too.

Everyone is really good at acting and the story is really great! I think Shouhei-kun appeared in a really good movie(^-^)/
Shouhei, good luck! Everyone, if you have time, please go watch Brave Hearts. Sakigake Banzuke show next week!

Big Bang @ Incheon Airport (120625) [FAN ACCOUNT]

0 comments
My friend and I arrived at Incheon around 10 in the morning and we were surprised to see BIGBANG there minus Seungri. They were flying to Fukuoka on that day (22nd) for their Alive concert.
This fancam was taken by my friend. She fell down in front of GD and because she saw that he saw her, she said, "I'm fine, I'm fine." (My friend: Sooo embarrassing!)

I shouted to Taeyang, "Hello Taeyang, come to Australia!" (where I'm studying) and then he bowed. On the 25th, returning from Fukuoka, I walked next to TOP until he entered the van. While walking, he received some presents from fans. I didn't prepare anything so when he was already inside the van, I took my iPhone case out and placed it near the window. He suddenly opened the window and took the iPhone case and said, "Thank you!"

G-Dragon: Celebrity Style
by Ona Yoon and Sharon Tsang, WGSN, 01 June 2012
K-Pop fashion icon G-Dragon of boy band Big Bang, is starting to make waves internationally - look out for his heavily ripped denim and colorful biker jackets.

Kwon Ji-yong, better known by his stage name G-Dragon, is the leader of South Korea boy band, Big Bang. He is a recording artist, songwriter, producer and model. In recent years, he has become known as much for his look as his music and he is starting to make fashion waves internationally.
Big Bang
Big Bang debuted in 2006 and are known for their hip-pop music and energetic freestyle dancing. Like many pop stars, the band's five members have received plenty of attention based on their individual fashion styling. Unlike other K-Pop groups who adopt a uniform look, the members of Big Bang incorporate their individual styles into a single concept in a group format.

Key terms for the band include hi-top sneakers, brightly colored skinny jeans, leather trousers, bold jewelry and accessories. Big Bang's latest music video, Fantastic Baby, created a surreal feel with expressive styling, the use of hyper colours and dramatic hair and make-up.

G-Dragon: Magazine Editorial
G-Dragon's styling is theatrical and often features tribal references such as feathers and animal prints. Accents of black are key.


G-Dragon: Hair and make-up
His signature grooming looks is a defined brow and smokey eye make-up. Hair is often bleached and styled into huge quiffs. Otherwise, his hair is worn down and combed forward, with a straightened fringe.


G-Dragon: Accessories
G-Dragon's accessories are usually exaggerated and colorful. Hi-top sneakers, bold jewelry, hats and multiple badges are key to his look.


G-Dragon: Key Items
1. Ripped Denim
Heavily ripped and worn denim is one of G-Dragon's favorite looks on stage and in editorial shoots.

2. Leather Biker Jacket
Bold colored biker jackets in classic cuts are styled with loose T-shirts and skinny jeans or trousers.

3. Long-haired fur
G-Dragon plays with proportion by teaming voluminous jackets with skinny jeans. Black or white fur coats, gilets and pull-on sleeves complete his dramatic stage outfits.

Idols’ original stage names evoke laughter among netizens

0 comments

A list of idol groups and members and what could have become their official stage names is attracting much attention among Korean netizens.
Recently on an online community site, a posting was made with the title "Idols' Original Stage Names".
Included was a list of idol groups and members and their amusing, and some downright hilarious, stage names that they could have made famous.
Super Junior's Leeteuk was close to becoming Kang Soo, as it is close to his birth name, Park Jungsoo. Fellow member Shindong almost became Udon, while Kangin could have been Woongdam (gallbladder of a bear), and Kyuhyun Gwee-Hyun (distinguished person).
TVXQ was considered to be named Oh Jak Yook Boo (Internal Organs), while Big Bang almost was named Diamond. T.O.P was originally going to be named Mark, Daesung Big Castle, Seungri Sonic, and Taeyang Taekwon. (Taekwon was Taeyang's stage name during GDYB days.)
Wonder Girls were almost named LC (Ladies Club)- Sunye was going to be Sunny, Sohee IC, Yenny Silver, Sunmi Berry, and now 4minute member HyunA who used to promote with Wonder Girls was going to be Mint. The girls even had a song they recorded under these names, but the name of a popular documentary they filmed before their debut was titled Wonder Girls, and they went with that name.
Shinhwa member Jun Jin was going to be Lee Gi Go (which translates to "winning" in Korean), and Minwoo was going to be either Parang (Blue) or Taeyang.
Netizens who came across the information exploded into laughs as they wrote, "IC is truly hilarious", "I heard Diamond was G-Dragon's idea", "Lee Min Woo could have been Taeyang!" and more.
