So as you may know We Got Married’s changed their format once again and they booted off all of the couples who were currently on the show, including, of course, the couple that got me watching the show consistently – Kangin and Yoonji. Hmm, I’m not going to talk about whether they were better or worse than the older couples because I didn’t watch the older couples save in episode one – the point is I decided to check out KangJi on a whim to see what they’d be like and I ended up finding them super-adorable and so sweet and shy around one another that I almost wished they were dating in real life. (Okay, well I did but now I’ve changed my mind.)
So to make up for the fact that I’ve been meaning to post a few things, I decided to do a short compilation post. So the next few weeks are going to be pretty exciting fandom-wise.
I love shows like this because even though I rarely know the songs that they’re singing, it really gives you a chance to hear these artist’s raw, authentic voices – and they rarely disappoint. Also you don’t really need subs for them and that’s always a plus. So Suju and Davichi – two of my current faves! – guested on this episode and thankfully, the cuts have already been uploaded by CodeAnalysis on Yt.
What spurred this, you ask? Other than DongHae just being his super cute, fantastic, sensitive, sweet self?
This (subbed) clip from the Star Golden Bell episode that DH, EunHyuk, ShinDong and Kyuhyun (OMG, KYU, YAY!!!!!!!!! Did I mention I love him?) guested on – in the clip, DongHae talks about his dream marriage. Apparently all you’d have to do to make our little fish happy is to kiss him when he wakes up (check!), make a sandwich for him for breakfast (I can make sandwiches – I am a sandwich-making QUEEN), fix his necktie for him before he leaves for work (is he going to start working in an office in the next 8 years? Why’s he wearing a necktie? But whatever, I CAN DO THAT TOO! Ties were a part of my school uniform. ^^) and then kiss him before he leaves the house (yes, because this part would SO be a problem…). So it’s settled then – clearly, I am going to marry DongHae in the next few years. There’s only like a two year age difference between us (he’s older) so yay for that. You never know, it could happen.
It could!
Hmm, funny how just a few hours ago, I was fantasizing about marrying HanGeng. Oh well, whoever will have me – I’m not picky. I think this brings my total up to about ten faux husbands. Aish, at this rate, I’ll end up in jail….
*end fangirling session* Anyway, you guys go check out that video and when you’re done, drop ELSubs a line and let them know how awesome they are for subbing this (and please don’t ask them if they’re going to sub the whole show – if they’re going to, they will; if they won’t, they won’t so just wait and see).
OMG, and Younha! Thank you for having a song that I really like and making up for the disappointment that was 1,2,3. Yes, it’s cute but I just wasn’t feeling it. I’m not much of a fan of her more upbeat stuff, it seems.

Oh, and please check out Yesung in this cut from Suju’s Come to Play episode. This, right here, is why I love him so much – because really, who does not love a hot dork? I know I do. Yesung oppa, saranghaeyo~ &hearts
Okay, it is official – I love Suju’s ‘Sorry, Sorry’ performances. Really. I feel about them the way I felt about SHINee’s LLO performances and DBSK’s ‘Wrong Number’ performances and I just can’t get enough of them. They’re all really, really good! (Ok, well, not all but most of them are.) And today’s was no different – I always say that the best performances happen on Inkigayo. There were so many good points but I’ll just try to list the highlights for you.
So….Suju did not get number 1 on MuBank this week. But that’s okay – because Davichi did, and they’re incredible and totally deserve it just as much as Suju does. (Remember, remember, in my last post about this where I was talking about Davichi being awesome? Yeah? …..No, you don’t remember) But anyway, the point I want to make though is that just because Suju did get number 1 this week and did not get number one the first week after their comeback does not mean that E.L.F. have abandoned them or are not supporting them or anything like that. I mean, I’m not in S.Korea right now so I can’t say for sure but I really don’t think E.L.F. have let go of their precious oppa-deul, okay? And well, as for why Suju’s not winning, I believe it has something to do with the fact that the K-chart is mainly based on digital sales and while Suju have really high album sales, their digital sales aren’t as high – Davichi on the other hand, have really good digital sales but not so high album sales. You follow me?
Anyway, I’m just tired of seeing comments like “oh, where are E.L.F.? I thought there were so many of them and that they really loved Suju – then where are they? Why aren’t they keeping them on top?” Now I never thought the day would come where I’d be defending E.L.F. BUT I don’t think those are really fair statements to make. I mean, I don’t totally understand how the K-Chart ranking system works and I’ve never been one to follow artist’s album/digital sales to see how well they’re doing because most of the time I don’t really care to check out that stuff so I can’t be totally accurate and I’m not saying that E.L.F. don’t have a lot to do with how well Suju does on the music show charts and whatnot but I don’t think it’s right to assume that they’re being unsupportive or abandoning Suju or anything. I just really don’t think that’s the case here. So – don’t think that, okay?
Anyway, yay Davichi! Congrats! And happy birthday to Suju’s EunHyuk! I wish him great health and more success and happiness and all God’s blessings. Have a happy day, HyukJae! (And eat more, please – you’re so skinny, omg. T_T)
So if you’ve been following my blog for awhile, you’ll know that couples aren’t really my thing for a number of reasons, but that doesn’t mean, of course, that I can’t appreciate when two people seem to have a really good rapport within a group or that two people are clearly very close and unabashed as to showing their affection for one another. I’m all for that – it’s cute. So in that vein, I’ve decided to do a post about my favourite ‘couples’ in various groups – because I just felt like sharing today. And if you think I’m weird and crazy after reading this, well then, okay – you’re entitled to your opinion.
So we’ll start with SHINee, right? Because well, I always start with SHINee, don’t I?
Suju won again! Whoo! Yay! The acceptance speeches were a lot less tearful this time around and as usual, Heechul stole everyone’s attention by picking up Hongki and spinning him around in a big bear hug while the rest of his members were having their own group hug. LOL, typical Heechul. I think only Leeteuk cried this time, although Kangin looked a little emotional in the background – good to see that even manly Kangin gets emotional sometimes. ^^
Oh, and the performance was fantastic! It was one of their better ones for sure. Lots of energy, everyone looked and sounded good – although I do wonder if this choreo isn’t a bit much for Kyuhyun, he always seems to be a bit out of breath towards the end – and I’ve even stopped being surprised when Heechul shows up. As usual, the camera angles are very well done, although not as good as the previous Inkigayo performances and there’s a cool switch in the choreo towards the end of the performance that I really loved. It was just very good. I really liked the touch of gold in their outfits as well, although it didn’t work for everyone as well as it did for some. Also I am still confounded by EunHyuk’s pants/socks – really I just don’t even know what to say about those. DongHae looks good though – I always like his outfits the best.
And finally, watch this performance – I demand it! (Please.)

It’s the latest Davichi performance of 8282 (Pali Pali) and I was appalled at how few views it had. These girls are extremely talented and their lives never disappoint – really, I’m always amazed at how good they are – and MinKyung’s even wearing a really cute military style jacket here so I don’t know why people aren’t watching their performances. Really, why are these girls so under-rated? So go do yourself a favour and watch the performance please even if you don’t like the song. It’s really incredible.
Oh, and fortunately the Suju housewarming party was really in last night’s WGM episode so I’m sure it will be up and subbed soon! For the time being, it’s already up on YT, just sans subs. I’ll be awaiting them patiently. Well, that’s it – enjoy the performances!

P.S:- I started watching Suju’s Adonis Camp show and LOL, I made it through three episodes in one night. Oh, the hilarity – it is ensuing. It’s amazing how one only needs to gather any number of Suju members together – just anyone – and something funny will undoubtedly occur. They are such a riot.
Well, since I’ve been uber-lazy as of late and I haven’t posted a thing – I figure I should do some kind of update so here goes…. first off, please go to this site and help others while you surf the web and improve your vocabulary – it’s Free Rice.com.
The title is the name of one of the two few traditional Chinese songs that I know and I chose it because I just came across a video of Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, although here he’s acting as a member of Suju M, singing it on a Chinese tv show and OMG, it’s beautiful. He doesn’t even sing much and he doesn’t know all of the words and cuteness ensues as Han Geng comes up behind him and tries to feed him the words so that he can keep singing (oh, I knew Geng would make a good leader!) but in the end, he just turns the mic over to Han Geng and Siwon to finish up. (Siwon also has a really nice voice, imo) but all of that doesn’t matter because the 40 or so seconds that he sings sounds fantastic. My Gosh, his voice is just so beautiful – I really wish he sang the whole song. OMGee, you don’t know how happy I am to get to hear him sing that song just because I actually know it! And I feel bad now because I didn’t even pay that much attention when we were learning it in class but now I’ll definitely pay close attention when we learn songs because I might get to hear someone I know sing it and sound amazingand because it might help me prepare for my final exam.
