[MV Review] SHINee - "1of1"


After over a year of waiting SHINee follow up the awesome "View" with the decent "1of1."


Onew is still incredible.


Would totally jump onyu.

There is no better to way to start a SHINee review, not even sorry. (I would leave it at that but seeing as I wasn't hired for my trolling abilities...)

"1of1" is just okay. That's it. It's not terrible it's not great. It's just pretty decent, and I'm inherently fine with that; however I'm used to SHINee's releases musically blowing me away and this just ain't it. This song is like bubble gum, it's starts off really nice but eventually you either get sick of the same flavor being in your mouth or the gum loses it's flavor and you have to eventually spit it out and wash it down with some refreshing ice water. The song starts off nice however the initial sound just isn't strong enough to sustain the rest of the song. Better luck next time guys.

The video is the highlight of this release by far. SM really nailed it with the early 1990s theme, and I'd find myself coming back to the MV just for the aesthetics (was this done on purpose? Hmmmm.) So if you're into perfectly executed retro themes, then you'll totally dig this music video. Everything down to the blank white set, pimp suits, baggy clothing and back up dancers who don't really have that much rhythm make this video almost look like something archived from the decade that is somehow very HD. The members are all styled great too.



Minho looks the most fantastic this comeback.

Bottom line if you love the 90s and that The New Kids On The Block sound then you'll love this. But if you really don't enjoy 90s fashion or the music then this won't be your favorite. It's definitely a standout comeback that's for sure, and the album ain't too shabby I linked "U Need Me" before, however some of my other favorite are "Feel Good", "Shift", and "Don't Stop".

Of course the only way to get this POSITIVE post started is with a lovely picture of Korean singer and actor Kim Hyung Joong.

Sandara Park, 'A member of a girl group laughed at my Super Saiyan hairstyle'

  Sandara Park names her Super Saiyan hairstyle during I'm The Best promotion as the most memorable hairstyle she ever had. She says, 'I'm always confidence with any hairstyle I have. However, when I did that hairstyle, I couldn't even get off from the car'  She continues, 'I stepped into the broadcasting station and a member of a girl group laughed at me. But the boy groups told me I looked cool. Our comeback overlapped with 2PM's, I did an interview with Ok Taecyeon and we compared our hair to each other' theqoo -How could anyone hold their laughter when they see that hairstyle...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ -From Sandara Park's point of view, it might look like that certain girl group's member was making fun of her. But from that female idol's point of view, she probably tried her best to hold in her laughter. Anyways, it's very understandable so let's not make a big deal out of it.  -Are you sure she was the only one who laughed? The whole nation laughed

Pump up the pearly volume - big boobs in k-pop guide part 4

The post that k-pop's tits perverts have waited patiently for all year is finally here, it's the return of the Kpopalypse big boobs guide! Who can possibly keep up with the amount of big boobs in k-pop?  Kpopalypse, that's who!  Read on as Kpopalypse brings you the joys of objectification and superficial fetishism once again! Actually to be completely honest, I have trouble keeping up with new groups much the same as anybody, especially as I don't tend to pay much attention to the individuals in very new groups, so that's where the help of trusty caonimas came in.  I asked readers in a recent survey to nominate entrants for this list, and received several hundred responses which I will now distill in the following post.  Thanks to all those of you who helped me out here - but note that most of you picked girls who had in fact already been covered in previous episodes of this series, so make sure you visit the following links to double-check the trufax
