Pokemon Tim Burton Style

I saw this and I was like WOW! WOW! WOW! Tim Burton style is so whimsical yet dark and having it applied to Pokemon is just amazing. Check out these illustrations by Vaughn Pinpin (aka hatboy) via his Tumblr page.

The Debut: EvoL

Been a long time since my last post. Mianhamnida! I really wanted to highlight a new rookie girl group called Evol. This group has impressed me, a lot of people are unfairly comparing them to 2NE1, which is a little unfair. I'm the first to admit I am a Blackjack (2NE1 fan) and just adore the new girl group! 2NE1 definately has taken over the market of "tough/strong girl group" and it's going to be tough competition. I believe EvoL has the potential to be serious competition! The groups' label Stardom Entertainment, who are labelmates with boy group Block B. EvoL is pronounced "evil" and is also LOVE (EVOL) spelled backwards! It's not to be mixed up with the Sonic Youth rock album.

The group is comprised of five group members: Leader SAY, Jucy, Yull, Hayana, and J-Da. Leader Say has a very strong and intimidating looking face that I feel really suits the group. The group doesn't follow the typical "cutsey" Korean girl group.

There debut mini "Let it Explode!" is a great example of there style and voices. And their debut music video for "We Are A Bit Different" was the bomb! I will learn this dance! So much fun!

Go for the Gold!

This month is all about the Olympics, so when I saw this I nearly cried from laughing. Thanks Justin for sharing! He got the GOLD! LOL.

Summer of Bubble Pop

Hyuna's single "Bubble Pop" was released last summer, since then I have always associate summer with bubble bubble pop pop! It's also why I bought red heels and dance around my house...Check out the sexy music video now! Dubstep breakdown around 2:30, sweet....

Ace Power Exercise Machine!

I'm sure most of you've seen some ridiculous infomercials for things like the Steak Knives, the FlexBow and Shake Weight, but this is much MUCH better. Check out this Korean infomercial for an exercise machine called "Ace Power." So embarrassingly good.

The Comeback: Brown Eyed Girl's The Original

As some of you might know, I am a huge fan of Brown Eyed Girl's (BEG). Luckily, they're having a little mini comeback this summer with their newest album, "The Original." They've already released the music video for "One Summer Night" and the vocals are just amazing. I love you BEG, keep shining!

A.W.W. [ SOJU ]

pronounced: show-joo

Defined by Wikipedia:

1. A distilled beverage native to Korea. Its taste is comparable to vodka, though often slightly sweeter due to sugars added in the manufacturing process. 2. Though it is traditionally made from rice, most modern producers of soju use supplements or even replace rice with other starches, such as potatoes, wheat, barley, sweet potatoes, or tapioca.



Examples:

Aiish! I drank too much soju last night.

Let's go eat some samgypsaul and soju tonight!

Alcohol equivalent to vodka or sake (more closely to sake because it is made out of rice). Soju literally translates to "burned liquor." Even though there is a population of Koreans here in MN, I haven't been able to to find actual soju...there is a Korean grocery store I have yet to go to, they might have something there.
