OMG someone please tell me that the new Wonder Girls song is already on the internet because I've only heard it once (okay, twice now) and I'm addicted. Plus that MV is totally adorable, even though this song totally puts them in the super-American "I sing praises about myself" category, which I usually don't like unless the person in question is a really good rapper (Kanye, Jay-Z, Lupe, etc.) I am also reeeeeally tempted to learn that dance because it involves SO MUCH FLAILING OMG.

I feel like the SNSD fandom has been pretty quiet lately. I know the girls are doing different things but I just haven't heard much or seen much new news from them. Also I want some other members to start getting out more - where on earth has Hyeoyeon been hiding? Seohyun/Tiffany/Jessica have that new song (plus Tiffany's got that hosting thing with some guy or other), Sunny/Taeyeon are both doing radio, Sooyoung/Yuri/Yoona are all in dramas, so where is Hyeoyeon? Please come back, you're super cute and are a great dancer. :D

And FT Island has died down too (now that they're not making it big in Japan) except for that new MV they just put out, that I really wasn't very impressed with. I feel like I've heard this song before but with slightly different chords and in Korean - c'mon boys, I know you're all tiny but you can do better than that!

New Taeyang mini-album is SO GOOD. I love it, although not quite as much I love the Big Bang mini albums, but I am enjoying it very muchly (I just tried to type "mery vuchly" at least 3 times. WTF, brain.) I really hope that this does well and that the other members will follow suit! GD, Daesung, I'm looking at you two in particular. Especially you, Jiyong, because if you put out a solo album I really will cry tears of joy. EDIT: OMG GO WATCH THE NEW MVS RIGHT NOW. ESPECIALLY THIS ONE BECAUSE IT IS SO AMAZING I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.

I am now listening to the new WG song for the 5th time. Houston, we have a problem.

Oh, new SM boyband, where did that come from? I didn't hear ANY rumors about them - is it because I live under a rock or is it because SM can actually keep things under wraps occasionally? And please tell me I am not the only person who finds their name ridiculously funny. LSM, you are crazy but you can do better than that.

oh wait, oh wait -

I just watched the Shinee MV. And the song is really catchy (even though that one guy has a really nasally voice and it gets on my nerves) and they are all TRYING SO HARD it's ridiculous but kinda cute and OMG I DO NOT NEED MORE BOYBANDS. DO. NOT. NEED. I suppose this would be a bad time to mention that I might get into NewS too because of that stupid new YZDX layout that's super cute but STILL TOO MANY BOYBANDS Also I know there have been a ton of comparisons to Big Bang and I have to say they're justified - LSM is clearly trying to cash in on the "Big Bang fever" that Korea's got right now, even if these boys are clearly younger, more pop and more R&B oriented overall. The whole "following the girl walking while dancing" thing was a dead giveaway and I have to say I didn't really like it - I used to think SM could come up with creative things too but LSM must be getting tired because this whole "I'm not really imitating but I clearly am" thing can't last very long, and I'm actually more interested in what they'll become as opposed to what they are right now. (Please please please LSM DO NOT MAKE THEM GENERIC. I WILL BE SO DISAPPOINTED.)

Okay, now I have to cut this thing because I cannot believe I just rambled about pretty much every new thing in Kpop. Wow Kittie, way to actually finish that paper that's due tomorrow...

PS: I was just thinking about Shinee and comparing their debut MV to DBSK's debut and SuJu's debut MVs. Oh how times have changed.
PPS: I am now DLing the new Shinee single. I am such a cop-out. If this whole boyband thing goes on much longer I'm going to feel like a cougar and I AM TOO YOUNG FOR THAT. Besides I am so not cougar material - not superficial, don't just go for looks, don't like leading younger guys around, etc.
PPPS: Chay/Manda (I feel vaguely obligated to get to know Eryn but also because she seems fairly awesome) you guys are going to need to do a pimp post on NewS sometime soon or at least recommend your favorite albums/songs so I know where to get started. And one of you (probably Eryn again) is going to have to explain to me how this whole JE thing works because I cannot for the life of me figure out how some of the NewS members can be in Kanjani8 too 0.o)

squeeing, snsd, hyeoyeon come back, i am slowly dying of boybands, t.i.f., big bang!, taeyang has fantastic abs, shinee
