And I don't speak ANY Korean, but getting completely lost is half the fun.
My mom is obviously the source of my fangirlness.
Me: Mom, Mom. I remembered the very important thing I was supposed to ask you! It is so important, I can't believe I forgot.
Her: Oh?
Me: Yes! Ahem. Would you...
Her: Uh huh?
Me: ...like to go see Ninja Assassin with me when my exams are done? =D
Her: What is Ninja Assassin?
Me: A movie! About a ninja! =D
Her: ...Right. You sure you wouldn't rather go see it with your brother?
Me: HE'S PLAYED BY RAIN.
Her: *really, really long pause* ...Does he dance?
Me: I don't think so, no.
Her: BUT I WANT TO SEE RAIN DANCE. D=
Me: He fights! And probably kills people! COME ON, YOU KNOW YOU LOVE RAIN.
Her: OKAY, OKAY, WE'LL GO SEE NINJA ASSASSIN.
I heard (via omona, of course) there's a line, something like, "This guy is too pretty to be a ninja. He looks like he should be in a boyband instead." I'll bet any money my mom laughs harder at it than anyone in the theatre, myself included.
Speaking of Korean boybands, I only realized today that my favourite member of B2ST/BEAST/whatever ya wanna call them nearly ended up in Big Bang! Obviously they canned that at the last sec 'cause it was too much awesome for one group. Awww Hyunseung, so cute with his Yanagi Renji lookin' haircut and adorable smile. And even Yoseob thinks he needs to strip for their next album! ( Hilarious/cute interview-profile-thing here.)
I really want to eat this cookie too so I've opened it, but I only took a small bite and have just been staring at it ever since. I shouldn't eat it.
lol oh god Hyunseung, so friggin' prection. JUST EAT THE COOKIE, YOU'RE TOO ADORABLE TO DO WITHOUT. *totally adoring*
And speaking of... well, Korean boybands still, I've basically been accumulating new favourite Korean boybands (this sentence is so redundant) this past week, partly so I can associate new groups with different areas of study while I cram for exams, but mostly because Korean boybands are hilarious. Quick rundown: B2ST, MBLAQ, SHU-I, U-KISS, and-one-girlgroup-being f(x). (Sulli! ♥) Actually I've liked U-KISS for a while but now that they've redone their image and Kibum no longer looks like his brother and Alexander no longer looks like my brother and Dongho no longer looks nine years old I must say I'm liking them quite a bit more. |D
And speaking of SHU-I, I've been hearing them get a lot of crap for their name (So Hot Union of Idols), but I seriously think U-KISS (Ubiquitous Korean International Super Star) fail at the name game most epically. Not that 'Boys to Search for Top'/'Boys of EAst Standing Tall' and 'Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality' are much better, but... Christ, and I thought Johnny's Entertainment groups had some ridiculous names. I feel like I owe Hey! Say! JUMP an apology.
The best part about the ridiculous names (which I love, to be clear on the matter) is a discussion I saw (and we're back to omona...) about ridiculous kpop names. Someone brought up 'Rising Gods of the East' and general consensus seemed to be that it stopped being funny when they lived up to it. *cracks up* Oh kpop.
