Hi. So, goodness, it's been something like 8 months since my last post? Holy cow. Sorry about that. I guess I took a bit of a break from fandom in general there for a bit since RL called too loudly. But trying to dip my toes back into the water now, so to speak.
The most recent development in my life is that... well, I should start with this: Kelly Clarkson. If you follow me, you probably know I love her. ;) Gosh, I do and I don't think anyone would ever replace her as that chill-inducing wonder voice (+ lovable funny dork personality) for me. See, for example:
http://www.kellyclarksonlive.com/ for some of her ridiculous live covers that she's done. Holy crap @Top of the World, Fix You, Creep, Oh Darlin', etc.!
That said, I think I recently found a boy version of Kelly (except that his voice is nowhere comparable to hers of course :P). However, his whole hilarious personality slash lack of filter (like seriously, in a recent variety show he just randomly blurted out that he walked around naked in the band's dorms sometimes "to break boundaries"; I mean?!?!)? And his whole adorableness? The fact that of course he can sing, gosh. But ha, here's the thing. I don't understand most the thing he's saying (save when there's eng subs on youtube) because he's South Korean and yes, he's part of a kpop boy band. I know. He's 23 or something and I feel so weird to be so fond of this weirdo (and also the other 8 band members of his).
So, without further ado, let me introduce you to the boys currently wrecking making my life:
First, this is Baekhyun, the hilarious one. He is 1 of the 3 main vocals of Exo.
He's the one in the blue, cloudy sky thing of a jacket in this video below. This is from their "Exo Showtime" series. In this one, they're (sort of) practicing and (definitely) being dorks. The guy rapping in the beginning in the music video is Baek's boyfriend best friend Chanyeol. :P

This is the full music video, btw, which is what made me fall for this group in the first place:

Speaking of Chanyeol, his nickname is the 'Happy Virus' and he's freakin' adorable. He loves animals - like boy actually stops and randomly feeds strays he sees on the street, my heart - but is unfortunately super allergic to them D: Also, he's the rapper of the group but he can definitely sing (in a non-rap way) too.

This is Chanyeol (on guitar), Baekhun, D.O. (also a main vocal & the first one who sings here with his adorable heart-shaped mouth) + Suho (the leader of this dork group who sings 3rd here) covering a Spanish song in a kind of swoon worthy way, haha:

Chen! I love Chen, okay? He's not actually Chinese despite his name but he's the 3rd of the main vocalists and arguably the best. Here he is singing on a show called 'King of Masked Singers' where he went as an 'anon' singer to get unbiased feedback about his singing:

Here he is with Baek singing a super old, sad song, lol, also live, I should note for some singing competition show:

Okay, after that sad song, let me post this fun, dancy one they did recently as a collaboration with a famous SK MC (he's the older guy haha):

Oh! But there is actually a Chinese member in Exo (still; there used to be 4 but 3 left D: ) anyways, Lay or Yixing which his real name, is a main dancer for Exo and he's coming out with his solo album apparently this month? Anyway, he's still not the best at pronouncing Korean and it's made for some hilarious moments. Witness this recent gem of his bandmates absolutely dying with laughter:

Alright, so let me end on this gem of a performance they did in 2014 at some award show with a mash up of some of their songs at the time. The dance break is danced by the other main dancer of the group, Kai, who is charismatic as heck and D.O.'s boyfriend (no, not really; he has a girlfriend but these boys are shippable as heck, hee! :P).

Uh, yes, so. LOL! Hi? Hope you're all well & happy October ♥
p.s. this entry title is from one of Exo's new songs, "She's Dreaming," which Chen wrote!
