Song of the Day

Cooking it up G-Dragon style.

I decided to start of with my favorite artist and my ultimate bias. I know you all know who he is, but just in case you don't I'll give you a little more information. 

G-Dragon also know as Kwon Ji Young was born August 18, 1888. Haha okay let me stop myself right there, I'll give basic facts instead of his whole life story. 

So G-Dragon, is in a group called BIGBANG. The fans are commonly known as VIPs. He works for YG entertainment and I've been listening to his music since I was... 16. So not that long, well okay it's been 6 years. 

Pretty sure my ovaries exploded when I saw this

I've listened to all of his albums with BB and solo and while I may not like all of the songs I like 90% of them, and I think he's a great musician. 

My favorite song by G-Dragon is "Who You" also titled (니가 뭔데). When I first heard this song I like, automatically fell in love with it. I loved the video too. There was something about the music and the rhythm that I really enjoyed. I loved his voice and his rapping within the singing. So because I'm not a native Korean speaker I had to go find out if the song that I liked so much had lyrics really worth knowing so I went out to go find the English translation. 

WHO YOU by G-Dragon

English Translation: 

Baby I love you, I say this but

I don’t feel good at all

I want you I need you, I sing but

I don’t know why I feel bad, who you?

Congratulations, you already are meeting someone new

I hope it works out, althought it’s a bit early

If you’re happy, that’s all I want

But I keep getting angry, baby who you?

Du du du du du du du du du du du du du

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Du du du du du du du du du du du du du

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Baby I miss you, why do I keep thinking about you

I can’t meet someone else, I don’t want to

Whether I love you or hate you

I can’t determine, everyday I’m still confused

I don’t know why I feel bad, who you

You keep showing up in front of me with your arms locked to his

This isn’t right, are you kidding me?

Oh my? Enough is enough

A pair of dirty flowers bloomed by the street

Instead of the expensive purse that I couldn’t get you

Instead of shoes I bought a pillow, wet with tears

uh why are you happy while I’m unfortunate

Who you

Du du du du du du du du du du du du du

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Du du du du du du du du du du du du du

oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Baby I just want you back

I want you back I want you back

Baby I know it’s too late it

just too late it’s just too late

Baby I just want you back

I want you back I want you back

Baby I know it’s too late it

just too late it’s just too late

I pray for fight, pray for a break-up

I always pray for you to come back to me

Every neighborhoods every streets

I visit and tell people that you two aren’t doing well

So lame and loser-ish, I’ve always been a loser

I didn’t know, you’re the same, you bad girl

I will treat you better, will you meet me?

I won’t bother you, will you please come back to me?

Baby I hate you Baby I loved you

Ma baby hate you

Baby love you du du du du du who you?

Now I don't know what it was exactly, but there was something I could connect with when I heard this song. I don't know if these translations are COMPLETELY accurate, but it was still kind of hitting me. Like it was some real shit and yet it was sung with such upbeat music. I don't know but, GD you got me!

Something New

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while, I've gone back to school! Doing a lot of great things here, and focusing on my art work and Japanese literature. So I decided it might be cool to do a song of the week. Of course it'll be a Korean song silly billies. So every Wednesday I'll put up a new or old song that I've been recently listening to! There will probably be a video and links on where to download the song if you so desire. I will also write a small blurb about why I like the song and I'll post the English lyrics so you know what the song is about! I don't know if all of you speak English so I hope it translates well! 

Anyway, I'll be working on some new things trying to spice the blog up. I know I haven't done a review in a while and those are the most popular it seems! I will start a new K-Drama or finish some old ones. If you have any drama recommendations feel free to leave a comment behind and let me know what you want me to review! 

Hope you all keep coming

back for the new content this year should end well! 

My Friends Will Never Understand

There are so many things my friends who don't like Korean pop will never understand. 

                                        Yeah such as life. Oh well, it's okay I have friends who do know what I'm going through and we can all go through it together. I'm sure if you like kpop and kdramas you will know exactly what I mean. 

#1 When You Hear Strangers Talk About Kpop.

This is the best thing ever. I guess though this can apply to everything when you hear people talk about something you like. There is this urge to go over there and talk to them because you know it too and you have finally met someone who likes the same thing as you. The only difference with kpop is that the people who listen to it are a well hidden breed so unless they are going about repping it with merch you will never know so hearing someone talk about kpop I normally go over and talk to them about. We have to stick together. 

#2 Going Out Of Your Way To Remember All The Member In A Group  

To say that I haven't done this would be a huge lie. Let me just say, that it takes a while too especially because once you take notice in one group you take notice in another and another and now you're trying to learn all their names. On top of that you're watching old videos where all of their hair colors

are the same. So you can't tell them apart and when you finally can their hair has changed, and now you have to go back and get used to that color and remember who is who all over again. What makes this worse is that you're now trying to catch a glimpse of their face while their dancing and they keep moving so you have to pause the video. This soon becomes a hassle so you just go on google and type in the group name to see the members and it's another task in its self. Large groups always take the most time to learn. I know all the members names of Girls' Generation, but I don't know who is who.

"AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A TRUE FAN!!" 

#3 Learning The Dance To Your Favorite Songs

There is the need to learn the dance to favorite kpop songs. If you are the type to try then kudos to you because some kpop dances are freaking hard! If you are the type to succeed then super kudos because wow, you're amazing. The choreography is so good, it's too hard to try to imitate. I always end up comparing myself to them and I realize how dumb I look. Of course that never stops me from trying all the other dances. I wouldn't be a fan if I stopped trying now would I? The difference with

NU'EST "Good Bye Bye"

Korean pop and American pop is that a lot of American pop music doesn't really have choreographed dances. It's always fun to try to to their dances honestly it is. You know what I'm talking about if you tried. I'm tried, dances like "Hot Summer" by f(x) "Lucifer" by SHINee as well as "Hello" and "Ring Ding Dong"  EXO's "History" and G-Dragon and Taeyang's "Good Boy." That song I managed to do the whole dance correctly although it was hard as all hell. My friend and I didn't know whether to follow GD and Taeyang or the backup dancers. The list of course goes on and on. What dances have you tried if any?

#4 Watching Variety Shows With Favorite Idols 

So, personally I haven't watched many episodes of many variety shows, but I have watched all the episodes of every variety show that had BIGBANG in it. I've gone back into the past and watched all the shows and episodes they were in even if it was only brief or only one of them in the show's episode. While watching variety shows it allows the audience and the fans to connect their favorite groups. They get to know them on a new level. If you have ever watched a variety show you might know what I'm talking about. It's just seeing them and how they act with other people and each other, NOT in a music video. 

My first variety show was Weekly Idol with G-Dragon. It was his first time on weekly idol. It was pretty late in his career too, he promoting his album Coup D'etat so it was like 2013. Prior to this he was in a popular show Running Man and on another called Infinity Challenge. I feel like Variety Shows are the small bridge between the M/Vs they put out, and the "TV" episodes they do every once in a while and the concerts where you get to see them in real life. 

Variety Shows are everything man! 

These are just four of many things that only kpop fan will get and relate to. Sometimes being a kpop fan is just hard you know? Especially when you have friends who don't like kpop the way you do. It's so sad that my friends will never understand.

You Can't Love My Ultimate Bias...

Lord, I can't tell you how many times I thought of this man. (Not the man above) Well men. If I believed in the lord, I would have confessed already because I've sinned in my mind. Does sinning in one's mind even count though? If not, then I guess it doesn't matter. But if it was not in my mind, oh boy... 

If you're not familiar with the fandom terminology, it pretty obvious, assuming you know what bias means. In idol groups, boy and girl groups, most fans have a bias. Whoever that may be is the one person they "worship" more than the other members in the group. Just like most fans I'm head over heels in love with my many biases. I say many because I have a lot of groups that I love, but I mean who doesn't? There are biases, but then there are ULTIMATE biases. These are the ones that surpass your regular biases. Normally though the ULTIMATE bias is only one. If you have more, well then... you must have a huge ass heart. That's all I'm saying. If I went through the list of the groups that I adore, I could tell you every bias I had in that group, it would be a pretty long ass list though, and I don't want to torture you.

OKAY IF YOU INSIST!

Over to the left.. or is it the right? Underneath the "Blog Archive" and "Follow by Email" section. Whichever side of my blog they are on, is the kpop group section. It has the titles of the groups I like and listen to. I listen to some others, but not as much as I listen to these. I have a favorite or favorites out of each group. Most people have a "bias" no matter what group you like. Whether it be One Direction of Blessthefall we all have that one person out of the group we like more than the rest. DON'T LIE and say you don't. I know you do. I'm watching you... but in all seriousness. If you thought Belibers and One Directioners were insane you have have never met kpop fans, but I'm going off topic here. Of course you can have a bias in a girl group if you're a girl. That one girl you just think stands out and SLAYS the rest of them. That's her. In 2NE1 that girl for me would be Park Bom. Her voice just reaches a whole new level also she has the cutest face like... ever. In 4Minute it would be HyunA whose name you can see further down.
Before I continue I just want it to be known that you don't have to have a bias for each group you can just like them overall.

The next one...-- You know what fuck this, this list will go on forever. I'll just go onto my ultimate bias. THE NOTORIOUS okay.. well he's not notorious.. just because he smoked a blunt means nothing. Whatever! His stage name is G-DRAGON and his actual name is Kwon Ji Yong. He's from the group BIGBANG and he's the leader. Here are some pictures and everything.

This is his M/V Crooked. 

 I'm just saying if you have't fallen in love yet, you need to go to sleep wake up and look at this man again. Okay, maybe he's not your thing, that's perfectly okay, because the less people that like him the less fans he has which means at one point, he'll be just miiiiine. *Cough Cough* Excuse me I don't know where that came from. 

 Anyway, like I was saying before, he's my Ultimate Bias, which basically means that I like him above all my regular biases. If I had to make a bias list, which I do have, he would be at the top, and he is. He'll always be at the top, is what I'm saying. It's sometimes hard though sharing your bias, because you want to believe that they will always just belong to you, but I have a secret... THEY DON'T. Doesn't that suck? Don't worry, we all know in that fanfic they'll be yours... if they aren't each others. Pervert. 

I just want to let you all know... YOU CAN'T LOVE MY ULTIMATE BIAS. 

Bye~
