064. Such a beautiful night
I can't wait for this week's episode of We Got Married. Seohyun looks amazing in a wedding dress. I know, it's not real, it's just for show. But, Seohyun and Yonghwa can you guys just get together for real?

#BIGBANGISBACK!!!
Okay, I will admit it. Big Bang's clothing and overall concept is just so... ugly. Leopard print? Cowboy fringe? Why on earth are they making T.O.P look like some old man with that short silver hair and beret? Why on earth is his hair so short and still white?
I mean, if you're going to make T.O.P (or was it his own choice? lol) stick with the white hair, at least let it stay as it was during "High High" promotions:
He's rocking the hair and the bright pink shirt. Enough said.
Their comeback song, "Tonight," is really good. I love the song. It's not really what I was expecting because YG said that there will be none of that techno/electronic/dance pop sounds that are so popular in k-pop right now and that the mini album would be Big Bang returning to their roots with more songs like Haru Haru and Lies... But Tonight really isn't that. I hear snippets of the song that could be in the same style as Haru Haru but that's about it. There's still a lot of electronic beats... Not that that's a bad thing. But I was expecting something different so it's preventing me from wholeheartedly loving the song as much as I loved Haru Haru.
Well, whatever, I'm still a VIP and I can't wait for the MV to come out for Tonight and for their comeback performance this weekend!! I also bought the mini album on iTunes, haha. Last time I checked Big Bang climbed all the way up to #9 on the overall albums chart in U.S. iTunes. Impressive. Makes me feel proud haha.

My initial reaction to Super Junior M's new song 太完美 (Perfection) upon listening to the first few seconds was: wth? Pretty much identical to my reaction to Bonamana, actually, lol. I guess I wasn't expecting a song that leaned towards pop rock (at least in the opening seconds of the song... electric guitars were all I heard)? My expectations were too high. I wanted something to topple the perfection (no pun intended) that was Super Girl. I don't like Perfection as much as Super Girl, unfortunately. Although the chorus has been stuck in my head, the song wasn't instant love like Super Girl was. The concept, too. Bring back the suits without funky eyeliner and furry hats and I'll be happy.
Oh, god. THE FURRY HATS. Please give them to me so that I can burn them.
I mean, WHAT IS THIS?!?! If I bought this album, I would be infinitely embarrassed to have this in my possession.
I really liked the MV though. The furry hats were still there but the MV was pretty good, even though the camera was moving around too much and I just felt like saying "STOP MOVING SO I CAN SEE THE GUYS DAMMIT." I liked the MV sets they used. Idk what they did to Siwon though. Usually he's one of the best looking in the bunch but the furry hats and eyeliner really isn't working for Siwon especially lol. Donghae and Henry looked ridiculously good though! Favorite part has to be the Zhou Mi bridge. Zhou Mi sounds impeccable as always and I liked the jumping shot even though a lot of people complained about SM using that camera way too much.
Good choreography can make me fall in love with a song pretty fast (like Beast's Soom - I love that choreo sfm); Perfection had pretty good choreo but I couldn't remember any part of it after I had finished watching the video. Nothing jumped out at me. Maybe I need to see a HQ video of a live perf.
Click to viewAlso, I was one of those fans that didn't like the idea of the addition of Sungmin and Eunhyuk to SJM. Why add them? Was it really necessary? Was the hole left by Han Geng really that big? Why Sungmin and Eunhyuk in particular? After I saw the MV, though, I can see how Eunhyuk added to SJM. But I still don't understand the addition of Sungmin. Why add another member if all you are going to do with him is give him less than 3 lines in the entire song and given him only about 10 seconds worth of camera time in the MV? Somebody please explain the logic behind this. If there is any. Idk maybe it's just because Sungmin is far from my favorite member and I really dislike how fake and cute he acts and I'm just biased against him like that. :/
And during the whole time this news came out that Sungmin and Eunhyuk were getting involved in SJM activities, I really wanted to express my disgust at some Super Junior fans. Do people only care about shippings and pairings? All I saw in these posts were just comments after comments of "omg more EunHae, do want!" and "kyumin is real" crap like that. Is that really all you think about when new members are being added to the subgroup?
BUT, I am really really really really really happy that SJM came back. I became a SJM fan after Super Girl had already come out for a while, just around when Han Geng left the group. Late to the party, and I didn't even know if there ever was going to be more SJM in the future. Yeah, there was still Super Junior, but I found I didn't like SJ as much as SJM. So I'm going to take what I can get, furry hats and all. XD

One more thing: very sad that Jungmin has already ended promotions for Not Alone and he didn't win anything. He was up against some tough competition though, so I am not that surprised. But it really was an amazing song ♥
