Oh, it's the same song Jason sang on Dream High. :D
I'm pretty sure he is lipsynching, I like NMW, but his singing voice isn't that great.
I think I'll give this special drama a try.

It's very good. Let me know if you need help finding links.

I am way behind on Dream High, boo.

No MinWoo has an interesting history. He apparently caught the eye of Yoshiki the rock legend from X Japan back when Trax first started out and the band got produced by him for a bit.

MinWoo has to be lipsyncing in the video because his voice doesn't sound anything like that. The mv with him 'rapping' in the Trax isn't really him at all either. He doesn't have that gravely voice thing going on.

If you want, I can point you to some BooHwal albums. They're really good.

Hmmm, that's interesting, thanks!

And yes, please do :)

here is the same No Min Woo singing(1:09) the same song live at the press con of RRR

here is another video with him singing live in a variety show - Italian team was promoting Pasta

I don't say that he didn't recorded the song first and then act the scene with lipsync, but no doubt is his voice

some would say that his vocals aren't much... maybe aren't as trained as other idols are (like 6 years or more as they do it in SME his ex-agency)

btw he sang his MGIAG theme song in Lee Seung Ki's live concert :>
at SBS kdrama award he sang live too...in English - too bad his English pronunciation is a lil lulzworthy...I can't understand why because when his Eng grammar is way better than mine

I won't say he is flawless live - sometimes he makes mistakes that even an aphonous person like me can hear-but he has a nice voice

do I sound like a crazy fangirl? :D ?

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh it seems like I'm a lil hungry ...coz I ate some words in

"I can't understand why because when he writes his Eng grammar is way better than mine"

Thanks for the links :)

Ah, this is on my to-watch list this weekend.

I've actually seen Boohwal live, at the rock festival we went to while in Seoul 2 years back. :) Well, among about 12 other bands we saw/listened to that day, ha.

dangermousie January 17 2011, 04:31:42 UTC

Did you like it? :)

timescout January 17 2011, 07:53:26 UTC

Yes I did, Kim Tae Won has had an interesting life to say the least. NMW was sort of a revelation and a lot prettier than Tae Won ever was, ha.

dangermousie January 18 2011, 02:08:37 UTC

I saw some presscon pics of the two together and was pretty amused at how much hotter NMW was than the real KTW (though the kind of life the man had, he gets points for not being dead). I got to say, I was shocked to see the kind of intensity NMW was capable of - I would have never thought he could do it unless I've seen it.

mookiehyun January 14 2011, 23:32:40 UTC

I've just started this as well. So GOODDDD!
I've only seen a handful of Trax MV prior and thought NMW is in the clan of pretty wood. But I'm wrong.

dangermousie January 17 2011, 04:32:09 UTC

I bet Kim Hyun Joong is the head of the clan.

But yes, I was quite surprised that he could act well.

mookiehyun January 18 2011, 23:54:30 UTC

KHJ is permanently rooted in that pretty forest as its sparkliest! Really please do a K Twilight, I need to see KHJ as Edward, Taec as Werewolf, Park Shi Hoo as the vampire/doc daddy. Any K Bella in mind?! lol

As much as I'm surprised by NMW, this is a great production all around and it must've elevated his game. I swear he's a Boolwah fanboy just like the rest of us, or even more stan than most, it's showing in how much heart he's pouring into his role. Technically, he's green when he needs to cry and so on, but it doesnt matter, I get the emotions from everything else just fine.

dangermousie January 20 2011, 20:08:52 UTC

LOLOLOL if they made ktwilight, I'd happily avoid.

Yes, I was very surprised by NMW but I guess the role was written just for him, in a way.
