Exo - Kris : Ever heard of perfection and his past

Howza yowsa, I'm really starting to get the hang of blogs since this is my second post already. Hahaha, anyways this second post is for our kris duizhnag. I know he's amazing and godly and perfect and whatever. I've seen his pictures on tumblr as I stalk each and every one of his pic as if my life depends on it. God, I'm so pathetic. But recently I found one new photo of him and seriously that picture took perfection to a whole new level. You hear me? "A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!" Damn it!






Above are those series of shots I was talking about. Just look at him! The guys not even bothering to pose, he's just coming out from his car and merrily on his way to wherever he needs to be but does he need to look this amazing even when just walking? Arrghh, I'm going crazy. Seriously if someone ever asked me to describe perfection, I'd simply state 'Kris Wu' and I'm telling you despite my serious obsession over him, I'm still not an Exotic. I'm not in denial, I'm telling the truth. Yes and the pictures are not mine, credit to those whom it rightfully belongs beacuse Duizhang and I live worlds apart. Okay not exactly worlds apart, what's wrong with making it sound so dramatic? We're just a few countries apart.

Also, recently I found out people talking about this in tumblr and it seriously got me worried too. Lately there have been numerous stalkerish fans of Kris who're digging his past and truth be said, that's quite rude. I mean come on how old are you people, still behaving like this? I know Kris has killer looks, the style and that swag but I can't say much for his personality cause he always has that bitch-face on but come on cut him some slack, will you? Of course as his fans, Dragons or Buffaloes, take your pick you'd want to know everything about him. Who wouldn't when it concerns their idol? Even I want to know how he looks like off-stage, how he really behaves around people but do you really think he will like it when he knows that people are digging up his past without his knowledge on that matter. You tell me. Do you like it when the whole world knows if your first kiss was with a toad or if you've farted countless times in public or that you barfed on your crush while playing spin the bottle? If he wants to tell the public, he'll do so in variety programs or during interviews.

I've seen numerous posts on him changing his names, his high schools, his supposed-tattoo and whatnot. Yeah, we like letting our imagination get the best of us most of the times but lets just keep it to that. We can always create and speculate rumours but lets leave the digging past behind. However if Duizhang says, "I dare you. Dig up my past as much as you can." that's an entire different matter and many fans will be more than happy to do so. See Kris, that's the price you pay for being so popular. So next time don't alright. But I guess its pretty hard already. Anyways, here I'll finish my post and the moral of the post today is "Don't intrude into other people's life."
Or else Tao will kick your ass.

Till then, stay beautiful.

K-pop : How it started and my Bias

Hello, people its me again. You may think again? when this is my first post. Well, stupid me, I only found out how this thing works after having posted 2 blogs already. The domain always kept on asking me for another name when I provided the one I already used before when I created a new blog. Seems like you can only put posts in your blog while I kept on creating new blogs after blogs while posting new things. Anyways, lets put aside my complaints and look at my new post. My bias in K-pop and how it all started.


It was one fine summer day and I was just strolling the park with an ice-cream in my hand relishing its coldness.... Ok sorry just kidding. Many of you maybe already aware about T-ARA since they are a part of Hallyu wave now. Well I was their fan before they even became one. You may ask why when their debut song Lies did not even do so well. Well there's no other reason than *drum rolls* Ji Yeon.

I love her. She's so beautiful and talented. She can dance, sing and act, all in all a triple threat. However I was not aware of T-ARA at that time. Hell, I wasn't even into K-pop. And that's how it all started.


All my classmates would gush about how cute these Korean idols were and how sweet and romantic their movies were. I would always facepalm myself when they'd start talking about Korean boys.  I did not know what they found so interesting, all I could see were a bunch of pretty faces grouped together that couldn't sing to save their life. Their group dances that held delicate and whimsy moves did not help at all. Furthermore, the first girlgroup I saw was Girl's Genertaion. The moment I saw them I was like Yeah I know your group name is Girl's Generation but you don't need to put a whole generation of them to prove it. However, I started watching KBS channel (I had Dish TV at that time and it aired KBS now I don't because Dad said it was too expensive and now we have cable, oh hail almighty) and I saw an interview of Boys Before flowers, I guess it must have been 2009 since I saw Wonder Girls hit song "Nobody" being performed everywhere. I only caught the last bit of their interview and the interviewer was asking those F4 boys to wish Koo Hye Sun good health since she'd been caught in a car accident and at the end they showed the intro of Flower 4 in BBF. That short 1 minute was all that was needed and the next thing I knew I was surfing the net about them. 1 year later, in 2010 during October my whole classmates came out to celebrate my birthday for me. It was belated though since my birthday was on an exam's day but I guess we did celebrate it after 2 days. After lunch we just went to MusicMania and lo behold what I saw, "Boys Before Flowers". Before my friends could even comprehend what had happened I snatched it away from the shelf so fast scared someone else would take it away. My friends only raised their eyebrow at this. That day I went home and watched it with my whole family minus my Dad since he's not made up for drama stuffs and guess what, it was an epic hit. My whole family loved it, my elder sis, my lil bro and even my mother who's not much into Korean stuffs. And from then on opened the gateway for K-pop into my world.


Before I knew it, I was watching God of Study and I fell in love with Park Jiyeon. Even as a girl I found her so amazing and beautiful. I felt proud watching her do so well even though I was in no way related to her neither her group nor her company. I just felt so content watching her popularity soar and seeing praises come along her way. I guess I became her fan after GOS. Many people even questioned her singing talents. I felt so angry at that time, why would one even be chosen as an idol if they weren't even good at singing? She released a track "Rolling" for the OST in GOS and yes I felt so happy seeing those haters stupid dumbstruck face. It was beautiful (her song you idiot). Her voice was light and fragile, she was more suited for ballads and slow songs and "Rolling" just proved how amazing she could be at them. Soon after followed, "Falling" in Jungle Fish 2, another amazing song. Then she got accepted into Dream High 2 and at that time when I found about it I was so happy I thought I could kiss a frog and turn him into a prince even though I'm scared senseless of frogs. That drama just proved it more how worthy she was for the title of an idol. She got to act, sing and dance and make the audience laugh along with her and for that Jiyeon you always have the number one spot in my heart. No matter how much I liked her, praised her, was awed by her, I could never find it in my heart to envy her. I guess this is what happens when you love an idol so selflessly. *cough* Please do excuse my self flattery *cough* Yes people the only reason I turned to K-pop was beacuse of Jiyeon and now I'm glad I did. All those meaningless words now make sense tome and no matter how whimsy those moves look now I know how hard it must be to capture the whole audience with their song and dance at the same time. My forever bias T-ARA'S Jiyeon and I guess for that very reason I don't have another favourite girlgroup or a boygroup for that entire matter. Whenever I'm asked which K-pop group I like I can't think of other names besides T-ARA.


Now that we have the girlgroup cleared lets talk about the boygroup. I could only be enchanted by boygroups for a short time and then I'd break away from the spell, easily bored. Now many K-poppers out there must be already aware of the fact that SM released a new boygroup this year, EXO dividing it into two sub-units: EXO-K and EXO-M focusing both the markets in Korea and China with EXO-K heading for the Korean market and EXO-M the Chinese. Quite an effective method to increase your stocks and shares should I say so SM. Anyways everyone must have their more than one bias in EXO since it's a 12 member group. At the moment I currently have only one and guess who it is. None other than our *drum rolls* Kris Duizhang, yes the smexy charasmatic leader of EXO-M.
Since when were males so beautiful, the guy's not even bothering to pose?
 The moment I saw him I was like Is this guy for real, Are you sure he exists? Seriously how can a creation be so beautiful to the point that you feel goosebumps breaking on your skin just by looking at a picture of him. I repeat "A picture" not even a bloody close-up of him in real life. I wasn't even into EXO with NU'EST already having my attention for boygroup of the year 2012. Yes its true that SM is one of the Big 3 in the entertainment industry in South Korea but the fact that they treat their people more as a money making machine rather than an artist made me despise SM. The break-up of TVXQ and the fans disappointment did nothing but only fuel up my dislike for them more. The fact that they were using the internet and their money to release uncountable teasers unlike any other boygroups while at the same time also being an influential name did not help at all. All I could think was money hungry villains So when I first saw EXO's What Is Love the word dumbstuck would be an understatement. I was more than that. It just did not make sense. How could SM pull off such an amazing boygroup? That godly pic of Kris walking around dressed in all white did not help the fangirl in me (My favourite color is blue and white). When he looked into the camera with his piercing grey eyes I knew I was done for and now sadly I have to say I troll on every picture of Kris I can find tumblr. Pathetic, I have no life at all. Even if I did before, Kris took it all away. Blame him for ripping away my sanity into tiny shreds where you can't even find those ripped pieces and put it back together. Now even though it hurts my pride, I'll have to admit EXO is one group to look out for. I respect their songs and adore them for their heart-wrenching vocals and beautiful lines. I have to wait and see for how long this spell takes place and breaks off?


It's amazing how you can have so many biases but feel so different about them. Look at my case. I'm so proud of Jiyeon and as a result whenever she's paired up with other male idols I feel happy. Giddy even. Maybe I'm too happy for her. But at the same time when Kris is paired with another girl, i don't like it. For some reason it doesn't feel right. Maybe it's beacuse I'm a girl. I don't know. Since both are my biases shouldn't I feel the same way about both of them. But one thing I do know for sure, no matter how many artists they are paired up with I'll always feel that they deserve someone much much better until they both choose someone from their own free will. Hehehe, thanks for bothering to read my post. Later people. Till then, stay beautiful.
