'Why So Serious: The misconceptions of me' [3집] by SHINee (Photobook + Taemin Photocard)

SHINee's 3rd album, part 2! (Click here for unboxing of part 1)


I told myself I would make an unboxing of this before the release of 'Misconceptions of Us' (the really scary-looking repackage album), so here it is!

But first here's a 58 second preview of one of the 2 new songs~


The photobook: mostly greyish, a mix of candid shots, blurry artsy shots, great close-ups, and people falling.


'One Spring Day (어느봄날)' [2집] by 2AM (Photobook + Group Photocard + Poster)

It's been 'officially' summer for some time now, but because of the crazy weather we've been having (what else is new), I find myself still stuck in this awkward 'it doesn't even feel like summer' mode. And what comes before summer is.........

s p r i n g !

2AM's 2nd full korean album: One Spring Day, which includes a photocard (individual member or group), poster, and the loveliest photobook ever, in a simple hardcover book that will sit peacefully on your shelf among your other springtime reads. And of course, 8 tracks to hum along to while enjoying a good book sitting peacefully under a tree on a fine spring (or summer) day.


Oh and by the way...

Track 07 composed by Changmin (2AM)

[unboxing] B.A.P - The 3rd single album



So after looping above melody for the past hour and still going as I write this (it flows nicely, try it!), I realized that the title actually says "3rd Mini Album" (so it's NOT a single album, but an EP...ok).

Maybe B.A.P should actually follow their chillaxing concept in Coffee Shop and chill down a little. I mean, it took Ra.d 3 years to release his newest mini with a similar concept. Not that I'm complaining.



Can I have a fluffy banilla?



ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Coffee shops and ice cream aside though, let's get to the unboxing! of their 3rd mini single album.

Y e s s i r !

album vs. Galaxy Note 2

Autographed CD: '웃다 울다' (with laughter or with tears) by 서인국 (Seo In Guk)

웃다 - to laugh
울다 - to cry
(pretty much describes how I felt during B.A.P LOE..... but more on that later! in a mega gigantic fan account post)

This post will be about...
multi-talented actor + singer Seo In Guk oppa! (mainly an unboxing)
Yeah, fans went a little crazy at one point even during this emotional ballad...


I had a phase with this song from the first time I heard it! LOOOVE.
Even bought the album! (though it only has 3 songs + 1 instrumental...)
...But it's signed! (making it slightly more special-er I guess?)


Before I proceed with the unboxing though...
Because I obviously don't live in Korea and I've always wondered... what do people think of him there / what is his image supposed to be? I mean, he seems to pull off the bad boy AND gentleman AND cutiepoo image all at once... I guess I'll never really settle for just one. Or he is just an extremely versatile artist. Or I just haven't been doing enough celebrity stalking to know and therefore sound very ignorant right now... whatever it is, I think I'm done babbling so... leggggo!

Oh my dream girl! Misconceptions of ME



Although I still don't know what their concept is exactly for 'Misconceptions of Me'... It's so different from part 1 and somehow they still managed to make it sound signature SHINee! Either that or I am just wayyyyy too biased kekekekeke.

...and the fangirling resumes!

(next month is SHINee's 5th anniversary..... oh dear.)

Why so serious (yeahhhhh)



No but seriously.

Dear SMENT:
Why did you film an MV without our bling bling main vocal, Jonghyun. For real? WAEYO.
We could all wait a bit longer to let him recover, so that they can be COMPLETE, at least... (and in the mean time, what's happening with your other group? coughexocough)

And the song just isn't growing on me...yet. But it will.
"어떻게 생각해?" What do I think? I think that it's not cool that one of your members is not in the MV... ㅠ_ㅠ

Idk what is worse...
Himchan missing out on pretty much the entire 'One Shot' promotions, or
Jonghyun being completely absent from an MV. (we only get to hear his voice...)
Well, technically the MV isn't OUT yet so maybe he'll make an appearance one way or another. Right...

#GetWellSoonKimJonghyun

'Misconceptions of ME' tracklist:

  • Nightmare? Dangerous? Evil? Sleepless night? (떠나지 못해 ♥♥♥) Somehow 'Why so serious?' just doesn't fit this concept...
  • This is an orgel. But '오르골' actually means "music box"!
  • Like a fire... maybe the Korean version of this?
  • WHUT IS MEDUSA. Is there some meaning other than the cray scary lady with snakes for hair? *shivers*
But... APRIL 26, I AM ANTICIPATING. And curious, yeahhhhh.

Remember 'Spoiler' (스포일러) (the first track of 'Misconceptions of You')? It's kind of a spoiler about their album (no kidding) and the lyrics even have their song tracks hidden inside. And look, Korean lyrics written by Jonghyun!


오랜만이야 Dream Girl 날 기다렸지?
온 몸의 열이 달아 올라 Like a fire
모두 날 보면 그 자릴 떠나지 못해 당연해
Nightmare (널 위한 내 aside)
내가 없던 밤들 (길 잃은 널 히치하이킹)
Danger 내 존잴 잊었던 너
Dynamite 처럼 전부 터트려 Wo~

Let’s Go!

*상상도 못했을 이 스포일러
깜짝 놀라긴 아직 일러
언제나처럼 충격적이게 (예상도 못할 것들로)
박수칠 준빈 되셨나? For SHINee
몸이 부서질 듯 곧 쓰러질 듯
무대에 설 때 난 가장 아름다워
Excuse Me Miss 첨부터 널 위한 노랠 불렀어
굳은 (널 위한 내 aside)
표정 Why So Serious? (길 잃은 널 히치하이킹)
Runaway 내게 빠지기 싫다면
Evil 영혼을 팔아버려 Wo~

Let’s Go!

*Repeat

상상도 못했을 이 스포일러 (충격이지 Girls, Girls, Girls)
깜짝 놀라긴 아직 일러 (첫눈에 반해 넌 Punch Drunk Love)
언제나처럼 충격적이게 (예상도 못할 것들로)
박수칠 준빈 되셨나? For SHINee
굳어버린 채 늘 수동적인 오르골
난 아냐 움켜쥐어 세상을 움직여
보여줄게 네게 My world
눈치채지 못할 정도로 난 (네게 네게 다가가)
조심스럽게 치밀하게 (다시 한 번 One more time)
첫 장을 장식할 모든 제목 (첫 장을 가득 장식할)
네 귓가에 속삭였어 From SHINee
Did I miss anything? Jonghyun, you made it hard for me to pinpoint all the tracks...
Anyway, preorder this album! kekeke


"The song's lyrics are about a zombie who lives in darkness falling in love with a human girl!"
Zombies. Ohhh even the album cover looks like one.

So I guess these zombies have blue hair.

(Random parenthèse: I always thought Ricky = Himchan + TOP.)

But back to zombies.
Umm... So part 1 was about a girl SHINee keeps seeing in their dream... and in part 2, they finally figured out who the girl is but there's still a problem - she is human and they...are... NOT. 어떡하지???

In conclusion...
-I see no zombies in the teaser.
-So Jonghyun is the zombie.
-I get it now.

Fly me to the moon

[Another promotional post]   
루나플라이
Lunafly is back from the moon!

I think they are the only band I can say I've followed since the beginning? (or not)
I like how they are super chillax and focused on music and having a good time and
(but they do have a peculiar fashion arrangement....)
(cause euh....i started with suju during their bonamana era...I was really late in the game)


Their first single!

Oh yeah. And they are actually a band because they all play instruments!
Teo plays piano too!

Check out the actual mv here!
.

.

I like how they just go busking away in the streets cause they can!

.

.
I had a phase with their second single
"...여긴 비가 와요 내 안에 비가 와요..."

Check out the actual mv here!
.

This time they came back with a very summery-explosion-of-colour-random concept

'Dream Girl: The misconceptions of you' [3집] by SHINee (Photobook + Onew Photocard)

Dream Girl part 1 album photos! I almost forgot that there's a part 2 coming up... 샤이니짱!

"생각보다 좋은 한해가 될거에요!"

[insert fangirl spazz for getting bias' photo card here]


You can listen to the (simply awesome) album here! To see more photos...

March break/reading week

[Warning: This post mostly consists of random blablatage. A one-way conversation soliloquy that could translate as a biary....blog-diary....get it? But i guess i'm also talking to YOU! yes you. ]

scratch the reading week. March BREAK.


As for me...didn't do much...
Went for sushi, dim sum and went to some expensive fancy/schmancy italian restaurant that was....no comment. 
TO food....I want.



However I did get a rose from a friend's friend for woman's day the other day!
(not that it has anything to do with food...)
I'm drying up the rose to immortalize its prettiness <3

.

.

.

And I thrifted a temporary desk today for 14.50$ 
Ever since I started re-styling my boudoir last summer....
I've gone desk + bed frame bankrupt-ed.
So I've been sitting on the floor and using my bed (or mattress) as a "desk"....
"Temporary desk" because I'm still hunting for THE one.
Yeah I'm a bit of an interior freak.


Not going to reveal it now though cause it's still in that just-got-into-my-room-so-it's-just-plain-and-ugly phase.

I recently sold my stethoscope online.
I just wanted to hold on to it...
for no particular reason.
It was just cool to have it. 
Adieuuuuuu
.

.

.

But selling that allowed me to...

receive my first ever dvdheaven parcel!
(it paid for more than half of it?)

I had to go get it at the post office
so i feared I had to pay some custom fees...
but pfiouuuuuuuuuu.  
아무것도

peacefully couched on its furry throne!

I only opened it to verify that everything was there
Although the package doesn't look in perfect shape
What is in it is in immaculate condition!

Why did I order from dvdheaven and not from yesasia/kpoptown/kpopmart

1. It comes directly from Korea
2. Counts on the music charts (and so does the other website...oh well)
3. It IS a  bit cheaper when ordered in bulk (save around 20-25$)
[but you have to be very strategic with what you order and work around the weight of your items because shipping cost depends on that aspect]
(yesasia would cost around the same for small orders and kpoptown/kpopmart...just overly more expensive)
4.They have an open Q&A forum in which you can complain as much as you want
and the customer service comes back to you pretty quickly (in ENGLISH)
5. They also sell cosmetic? (Missha/Etude House)

.

.

.
So...Why haven't I opened my package?
Well...what is the rush? hahaha
Also because i'm still in the process of trying to figure out
where to store display them?
These are old drawers that I've stacked up! 

Let's zoom in on that picture....


These are old goodies. Not my present unopened package.


gyeah.



p.s : All of the above can all be categorized in the "entertainment" section.
Idolatry is when you put something/someone before God.
And how I try to evaluate that is by looking at where I spend my time.
How do I spend my time. What do I do when I have spare time.
Don't let worldly things take over your life.
Then your own desires and hopes and dreams will become idols
thus sinning by not putting God first.
God is worth our everything.
This is a constant struggle. 
A daily battle.
However.
I'm not alone


(I guess this summarizes bible study during fellowship and Sunday school today?)

'기다림' [1집] by 커피소년 (Coffee Boy)

Music + coffee = best friends for study... right right right?
More specifically... k-indie music (of course)!

Here's a k-indie artist I really like: Coffee Boy. His acoustic songs and soft voice are so addictive. Like coffee!
(I still remember the first song I listened by him that I stumbled on while browsing Youtube. His voice struck me as very Onew-like...but now I think they each have their own uniquely awesome (and very different) voices! This is the song if you're curious hehe. It's part of his first mini-album; this post is about his first album - listen below!)



I purchased this album on YesAsia. Do support!
Not only is each song really cute...so is the album jacket! ㅋㅋ



And for more pictures and the song lyrics, click below!

I have a (not so) secret to tell you...

샤이니's back
Let you heart, mind and soul go on a trip.



Like last time, you can download the songs individually by clicking the download link above.
Or you can download the whole album here. (courtesy of k2nblog)

Wait...
Downloading is just part 1 of this process...
Part 2 is legitimately supporting them by BUYING!

You can do so HERE or HERE or HERE or HERE!

Now you can go back to your dancing/jumping/crazy-ing in peace (or in craze)!
