Must See Kpop Dance Practice Videos – Female Version

What makes a practice dance video interesting? For me it’s the style and flare of the dance, if its fun, holds my interest and the dancers are on point it’s even better. For you it may be something completely different. This list comprises of five kpop girl group dance practices videos that I believe are so amazing everyone should take a look at least once or maybe twice. 1) Wonder Girls – “Like This.” This dance looks like so much fun and each member is so on point. It is very fast pace and after watching I kind of want to earn this dance. This song is quite catchy as well and the more I listen to it the more I like it. 2) CLC – “Pepe” Talk about being on point. Not only was this group fun to watch but I felt like they killed it. Plus the cutesy camera picture part made me laugh, the “Oh Cha!” part is my favourite though. Tell me what you think. 3) EXID-“Up and Down” Thanks to BTS’ Jhope, Jimin and Jungkook along with some other members of boy groups constantly doing thi...

Kpop Meets Black Women (tumblr) Review

It’s not very easy being an international Kpop fan - especially if you are a person of colour. The reason for this, I am honestly not sure. I wonder if it is because Kpop exists outside of the stereotyped idea of what persons of colour are supposed to like. For some time now I’ve noticed that it’s especially worse when you're black. One such site that explores the intersection between Kpop fans and black people - specifically black women - is Kpop Meets Black Women . Now I’ve checked out this site a few times and there are lots of things here that you find on a typical fan website, regardless of what or who said website is dedicated too. With that said I have noticed that this site gets loads of negative attention for being what it is. That is why I have decided to review it, like I would anything else. It took me a while to put together because I have some strong opinions on this particular website and the amount of hate it receives on a regular basis. With that being said, I ho...

11 Great Quotes made to inspire

When I first started my internship there was something that really bugged me about my little corner cubicle. It wasn’t my desktop computer that looked a bit lonely where it was placed in the center my strangely curved desk. Nor was it the company phone on which I had just learnt how to transfer calls. The thing that was bothering me subconsciously was how blank and bland everything seemed. It all looked empty. Usually I’m all for the simple things especially since I can sometimes be easily distracted but I didn’t like how I felt when I looked at my desk. It felt as if by the end of the day if I wasn’t there it seemed as if like no one worked in that spot. What was missing and what I wanted to do is add something to my area so that my presence would be felt even without me physically being there. I knew that whatever I choose would have to be something that also inspired others just as much as it could inspire me. That’s how I ended settled on putting up quotes that made me feel somet...

Must See Kpop Dance Practice Videos –Male Version

The Kpop world is filled with many great bands that are within their own right amazing dancers. Watching the music videos is one thing but when you get to see those dances without all the lights, glamour and cut scenes is when you really get a chance to appreciate them. When its just the music and them dancing without distractions is when the magic happens and you really get to experience their talent. I have watched a few dance practices from bands that have really inspired me to try to learn those dances myself. So I have decided to list out some of those wonderful dances for you guys to judge for yourself. Now this list is going to be limited because there are many dance practices that I have never seen so if I have excluded a band that you think deserves some recognition for their amazing dancing abilities let me know. Also the list is not in any particular order either. 1) History- Just Might Die (blindfold dance practice). You can tell when someone has practiced a dance lot...

Current Obsession: BTS

From their style, sound and swagger BTS really bring something different to the Kpop scene. Their sound is a mix of hip hop, alternative rock, pop and R&B. Each member has their own unique vibe and voice that sets them apart from each other and adds to why they work so well together as a group. BTS or Bangtan Boys is a seven member korean Hip Hop group. Its members line are made up of rappers Rap Monster (Leader), Suga and JHope, and singers; Jimin, Jin, V and Jungkook (the youngest). This band only has a few years under their belt so far but if they keep it up I think that they could be here for a very long time. There is something that feels very unfinished about this them, something very raw and I like that. Writing their own lyrics and often producing some of their own songs gives their music a personal touch. Often it feels like whatever they are singing about is something that has really affected them or something that they have had experience with. Especially in their pr...

Hey people. How has it been on your side. Great? Not so great? Not sure? Well I am putting out a new post and I hope this cheers you or or inspire you even a little bit. So my February bucket list was okay. I honestly didnt do as I could. I just had so many options for some of the things that it left me too much choice. I like my bucket list to be straight to the point and more reasonable. For my March bucket list I decided to make it more doable.

Just do what I want. 8) Make a new friend 9) Exercise at least once every week 10) Go somewhere or do something that I’ve ...

Love Sick (the Series and Novel)

Noh needs to somehow come up with the money for the drums for his school club. Phun (who already has a girlfriend) needs someone to pretend to be his boyfriend so his sister (who is really into boy love) will convince his father not to make him go out with his friend’s daughter. Realizing that they could help each other, Noh and Phun make a deal that spiral into a series of events that bring the two boys closer together. The plot goes much deeper than that though and lots of time is spent in the novel developing the characters. We also learn more about the people who the main characters interact with on a daily basis. Love Sick the Series is a 2014 Thai series that is based on the quite popular online Thai novel written by INDRYTIMES . The novel appropriately named; ‘Love Sick: The Chaotic Lives of Blue Shorts Guys’, follows the story of two high school boys who eventually fall in love. The series takes a step away from the novel adding additional characters and plotlines to the sto...

BTS SEX SCANDAL???

So I may be late to this because this happened last year but I just discovered this picture. So Apparently Jin from BTS was showing a tutorial or something like that and fans saw in the background a condom and freaked.....OMG I don't know where to start with this but its so ridiculous that I had to say something about it. As a result of fans(??) freaking out that their idols possibly having sex Big Hit Entertainment-the company behind the band- released a statement saying that it was given to them in a fan gift. FIRSTLY who cares if they are having sex or not. These people deserve to have a private life too!! Hey if anything at least it looks like they are being safe about it. Secondly you guys know how crazy fans can get especially KPOP fans so I wouldn't be surprised if a fan did send it. Plus fans probably have sent much worse things. That fan probably sent it and said something like, "Wear this when we meet." Or some other weird creepy thing like that. People i...

Just an Update

Since I haven’t blogged about anything in ages, I thought it was time to get the ball rolling again. Many things have changed since I last talked to you. I’m at university now studying relating on an international level and German. Things are so hectic sometimes that I don’t know how I’m going to get through all my assignments and get them in on time. Somehow I seem to manage to do it though. Somehow! Right now it’s kind of stressful and school doesn’t even start back until tomorrow. There are some other things that have been happening in my life that is really weighing on me. I’m trying my best to get through them though. There have been some bright sides though. The few years that has passed I have been introduced to many differing things. So I have lots to catch you up on and introduce you too. So look forward to the coming weeks. XD Ciao!!! P.S. I totally passed my German exam!! Yay!!!
