My Birthday Wishlist

It's exactly a month before my 23rd birthday. Oh, how time flies!!! Besides stable job and good health as I wish every year, I'm thinking material things which makes me happy being a fan girl.  

I've been collecting music albums of my favorite artists since elementary; from cassette tapes to CDs until unique and creative designs of their own different albums. Some contains only audio CD, or with DVD, or even posters/postcards. Somehow, its size matters how big an album is. Since my brother gave me a Super Junior's 5th album "Mr. Simple" as my 1st and only Korean album that I had, I listed below 6 albums from SM Entertainment artists as a part of my birthday (or Christmas) wishlist:

The Boys

(Special Album)

Girls' Generation 

Sherlock

(Jonghyun cover)

SHINee

To The Beautiful You

(Official Soundtrack)

Various Artists

2011 SM Winter Town: The Warmest Gift

Various Artists

SM Best Album 3

Various Artists

Only One

BoA

If I have a lot of money, I can afford all of these. In reality, it's kinda impossible that I get those albums at the same time, but I'm hoping that someone who has a kind heart will give me at least one of them. Soon, I'll complete collecting these albums.

My Favorite Idol Group Members in KPop

Korean pop music is still in demand. When I say KPop, the first thing in mind is idol groups such as Big Bang, 2NE1, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, 2PM, and Wonder Girls. I have biases if I'm a fan of a group and I have favorites if I'm not a fan of them. Here are the KPop idol stars from some groups who I liked and the reason why.

Jonghyun (SHINee): He's sexy and handsome. First noticed him in the MV 'Ring Ding Dong'.

Ryeowook (Super Junior): Adorable smile and cute face. First noticed him on the MV 'Sorry Sorry'.

Siwon (Super Junior): Sexy abs and handsome face. Second bias after Ryeowook.

Sungmin (Super Junior): Adorable smile and handsome face. Third bias after Siwon.

Taeyeon (Girls' Generation): First noticed her in their KBS Music Bank comeback performance 'The Boys' which we had the same hairstyle.

Tiffany (Girls' Generation): During the press conference of 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards held in Singapore, she answered MYX VJ Chino's question in English.

Jessica (Girls' Generation): I watched their guest appearance in an American TV show during 'The Boys' English version promotion that was featured in The MTV Show. She talked in English. In addition, Fahrenheit's Calvin Chen said before that she is his favorite member in Girls' Generation.

Amber (f(x)): Her boyish look. I thought she's the only guy in the group then found out that she's a girl!

Luna (f(x)): Her voice most especially when she's hitting high notes.

 Yunho (TVXQ): Charismatic face. When he dances, he's so sexy.

Kai (EXO): First noticed him in their MV 'MAMA'.

Soyeon (T-ARA): We're both born on October 5. But she's 2 years older than me. 

Chunji (Teen Top): We're both born on October 5. But he's 4 years younger than me.

Dara (2NE1): She was a famous actress in the Philippines after the talent search called Star Circle Quest. Though she's already a KPop idol star, she didn't forget her second home which is the Philippines. In fact, she can still speak Tagalog when she was interviewed by MYX VJ Bianca during Etude House promotion that was held in Korea few months ago. 

TOP (Big Bang): Handsome face and his fashion style. I always love his hair since their MV 'Blue'.

Yonghwa (CNBlue): First noticed him in the drama 'You're Beautiful' with Park Shinhye but I didn't know that time that he's the CNBlue's frontman. I liked him more in his recent drama 'Heartstrings' and his contribution in composing songs for KPop newbies Juniel and AOA.

Daniel (Dalmatian): He's currently hosting Arirang TV's Pops in Seoul.

The 4 Shining Years of SHINee

It's been exactly 4 years since this shining idol group from SM Town Entertainment. They first released their debut song, "Replay". The KPop male group named SHINee, composed of Taemin, Onew, Key, Minho, and Jonghyun. Their fanclub name is SHINee World or also known as Shawols.

The first music video I've seen from SHINee is "Ring Ding Dong". I first noticed this handsome guy with blonde-brown hair. I found out in the internet that his name is Kim Jonghyun. I got interested with this group so I watched all the MVs from SHINee in YouTube,MYX, and MTV.

SHINee's Kim Jonghyun

Recently, SHINee released their 4th mini album called "Sherlock". Their latest MV featured the most beautiful Korean celebrity and Girls' Generation member Jessica Jung. I waited for their comeback stage in KBS Music Bank. They won the K-Chart for two consecutive weeks after they defeated 2AM on the first week and CNBlue on the second week.

They're also featured in the movie called "I AM". Also, the individual members are busy with their respective projects. Minho will be working with f(x) member Sulli in the Korean drama version of Hana Kimi with English title, "To The Beautiful You". Then Key is active with the musical called "Catch Me If You Can" with Super Junior's Kyuhyun and Girls' Generation's Sunny.


From singing a line "We're living in a SHINee world" from the song "SHINee World" to lines from the song "Sherlock" which are "SHINee's back" and "Give it up for SHINee", indeed they are one of the top idol groups in Korea and went popular in Japan and other countries. As I conclude this blog article, I quote what the leader Onew had said, "SHINee world is strength for me. Because I get strength when I get cheers on the stage."

HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY, Shining SHINee!!! 

Bling bling! It's Kim Jonghyun!

“Bling bling is Jonghyun.” That’s one of the lines in SHINee’s song The SHINee World. Hmm… Actually that’s not the reason why I made him as my bias in this Korean boy group from SM Town Entertainment. It was because of their music video Hello. He’s very handsome in that MV but it wasn’t the first MV that I had seen from them. It was Ring Ding Dong. Their MVs (Hello, Ring Ding Dong, and Lucifer) were playing in MTV’s OK Karaoke then I enjoyed listening to their songs and seeing Jonghyun on TV.

I searched on the internet. And here’s a little information that I became more interested about him:

• Korean name: Kim Jonghyun (김종현)
• Stage name: Jonghyun (종현 or 鐘鉉)
• Nick name: Bling Bling Jonghyun, Dino Jonghyun. Jjong, Jjongie. Jonghyunnie
• Birth date: April 08, 1990
• Blood type: AB
• Height: 175 cm
• Language: Korean, English, Mandarin
• Position : Lead Vocal
• Hobbies: Writing lyrics, listening to the music, singing and playing piano
• Fan: Blingers

Wait! Blingers? I like that. So I am a blinger. :)

But I can’t believe that he had a girlfriend named Sung Se Kyung. I saw her pictures in Google. She’s not that pretty but she was lucky at that time. They both dated and had a nine-month relationship. I don’t know if Jonghyun has a current girlfriend or he’s still waiting for the right time to love again.

Today is his birthday. He’s turning 22. Well, he’s younger than me in 6 months. My birthday wish for him is continuous success in his career as an SM Entertainment artist and one of the handsome members of SHINee plus good health for him and his family. In addition, I hope he will find his girl who would love and care in the future.  

My Top 7 Korean Stars That I Want To Date This Valentines

Nowadays, I noticed some male Korean celebrities that are good-looking. Because Korean wave is still in demand not only in Asia but also worldwide, female fans like me want to date with whoever is her bias. When I watched Showbiz Korea Year-End special on Arirang channel, they conducted an online survey for viewers to know who were on top 7 among Korean male celebrities that they want to date. Thus, I also made a personal list in who are my top 7 male idol stars in Korea that I want to date because next week is Valentines Day.

 7. Adrien Lee

He’s one of the emcees of Arirang’s Showbiz Korea. When I watched this show, I noticed him because he’s so handsome and can speak in English. Because of that, we could easily communicate with each other if we’re in dating status.

6. Rain

Jung Ji Hoon is his real name; I saw him as an actor in Korean drama hit Full House before I knew him as a singer. He’s more handsome when he cut his long hair for his album Rainism. Though he’s older than me, age doesn’t matter. I would prefer to date a guy that is older than me.

5. Kim Jonghyun (Shinee)

He’s the most handsome among Shinee members. I recognized him in the music video Ring Ding Dong. He’s cute and has a shining smile with amazing moves. If he would invite me to dance in a romantic dinner, I would definitely say yes and enjoy the time that I’m with him.

4. Jung Yonghwa (CNBlue)

I liked him when ABS-CBN recently aired Heartstrings in the Philippines. Before, I didn’t recognize him as a vocalist in his band CNBlue neither as one of the cast in his drama You’re Beautiful with FT Island’s Lee Hongki, Jang Geunsuk, and female lead Park Shinhye. Because he can play guitar and sing with his whole heart, I would easily fall in love with him.

3. Sungmin (Super Junior)

He’s one of the most handsome and cute member from my favorite Korean boyband Super Junior. I noticed him in the music video Mr. Simple. Though he’s my latest bias, I made him in third rank that I want to date.

2. Choi Siwon (Super Junior)

He’s my second bias in Super Junior. The reason was both my eyes and my heart were melted when I saw his sexy body. I would be the luckiest ELF if he will ask me for a date.

1. Kim Ryeowook (Super Junior)

He is the first Korean celebrity that I liked and loved. His charming personality and cute smile caught my attention. Also he is a good dancer and has an awesome voice. I would scream if he would sing my favorite Super Junior song No Other before asking me either to date me or better to marry me.
