Hello Everyone!
Today I was going to post an album reviews for B.A.P, CNBlue, and Got7 but I'm having a hard time deciding on my favorite songs so I decided that I'll post that tomorrow. Today I want to do a follow up to my previous post (here) and talk about being a K-pop fan! I already mentioned that I'm a horrible fan, but today I wanted to make a mini post that can explain why I said that.
Mama Kia is here to save the day!
Hey Peeps!
If you follow me on Pintrest then you should already know that I am a huge fan of Running Man (If you don't follow me then please click on that tiny, pretty button at the bottom of the post!).
Running Man is a great variety show and definitely one of my go-to shows when I need a good laugh, or when I want to learn more about certain idols or celebrities! The challenges and missions that are given to the cast are always interesting, and make me laugh. A lot of times it brings me to the point I can't even breathe because I'm laughing so hard.
Here in the USA music video can be put into one of three categories.
1. Feature half-naked girls dancing
2. Feature a lot of close ups and the singer standing in random scenic areas'
3. They attempt to show a story, but leave you with more questions than you started with
I think that's the main reason (at least for me) that makes K-Pop so unique and different! Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of music videos with half-naked chicks (just check out Body by Mino or Aquaman by Jay Park) but most mv's don't have that! Recently the MV's that I've watched have had some sort of symbolic meaning or told mini stories. I enjoy watching mv's with that are more than what you see, but I'm not the brightest person when it comes to figuring out the meanings. For example I didn't notice that all the GOT7 albums are connected until I saw the new trailer. No, I didn't notice that the title songs are centered around flight. No I didn't catch the fact that both album names started with Flight Log.
And yes, this sounds really sad. ₍₍ (ง Ŏ౪Ŏ)ว ⁾⁾
But back to the main topic
I love watching MV's filled with dancing (shirtless preferably), but watching MV's with story lines is like watching mini movies. There short, and entertaining to watch!

Here a few MV's that I enjoyed, and wish could be on the big screen!
Skydive by BAP
Come back home by 2NE1
Half moon by Dean
This one is pretty straightforward so there's not much that needs to be said. It'd be your typical romance film, but the reason this one stood out was because of the heavy symbolism. I loved how throughout the mv there were a bunch of symbolic moments and items that represented love and how 2 people become 1. It was cute, and made the romance feel more heartfelt. The mature tone, would also set this movie apart from the others, because its unknown if they will get back together. Not all romances have happy endings. Lastly who doesn't want to see Dean act in a romance? He's such a cutie! (´ε｀ )♡
Starlight and Why by Taeyeon
My wish came 50% true! Dean is in a romance story (although it's another mv and not a drama or movie). What makes this mv stand out from the others is: That there is a bigger meaning, and a lot of theories. It cool how one video can be interpreted so many ways. For the sake of this article I'm just going to mention my favorite theory, but I think it would be cool if their was a movie that holds multiple meanings. For a movie version it would be about finding love and letting go of the past. Dean and Taeyeon were such a cute couple to watch, and I think they have good chemistry. It would be fun to watch the journey of a girl as she not only finds a new love, but also finds herself and learns to let go of the past (I guess you could just combine all her mv's to make one big movie!)
Fxxk It by Big Bang
Twenty the movie. Big Bang style! The colors, retro feel, and comedic antics of the members have me longing for a comedic film starring our favorite guys. They've already proven how funny they are by acting in skits and movie parodies so I have no doubt that they could pull this off. This movie would be similar to the movie Twenty (which everyone needs to watch!). A film about a group of friends that are getting through life. It would be fun to see these guys showing off their personalities and seeing what craziness they get themselves into! (*≧▽≦)
Spring Love By Eric Nam and Wendy
This cute romantic mv with Eric Nam and Wendy made me think of the american movie 500 Days of Summer. This would be a great romance story about young love, and maybe even 1st love. The couple complimented each other well. Although a lot of the scenes were corny, it was still adorable. The movie would probably be a romantic drama, and not a romantic comedy. Since it Spring Love it might be about a romance that starts in the spring and how it ends..
Can’t help myself by Eric Nam
Eric Nam again! This would make another great romance, but where Spring Love would be a more serious drama, Can't help myself would make a great comedic romance. A story about a geeky guy trying to catch the attention of a girl who rides the same bus. Most films with similar plot lines have the geeky character transform into a cool guy, but I wouldn't have him change himself,. Instead the girl comes to love him for the way he is. In a comedic way, and with lots of funny moments! Obviously the movie will have a happy ending, and he'd finally get the girl! Eric Nam would do a great job in this role, because it's pretty similar to how his real personality is.
Black or White by Cross Gene
The music video was a little graphic for my liking but I did like the message. This would make a great psychological, thriller about guys who pitted against their inner demons. The group of guys feel as if they are being tormented and threatened by unknown entity. Later in the movie we find out that they where being tormented by themselves and that they are fighting an inner battle. A battle where not everyone survives.(insert evil laugh). Personally I couldn't watch a film like this, but that's just because I hate horror and gory movies (I still haven't watched a single saw movie) ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )
Here some other mv's that I would like to see as movies, but I couldn't imagine any unique plot lines.
Honorable mentions:
Lotto by Exo
Still 24K by 24K
So here some thoughts straight from the imagination of Kia. What did you think? Did I interest you in any of these movie ideas? Or do you have any mv's that you think are movie worthy? There's probably a whole bunch that I couldn't think of, so let me know what you think of!
See Ya!
Random post, I know.
Recently I've noticed that a lot of Asian celebrities have been blonde at one point. It's a nice hair color as an american I see a lot of blonde people on a daily basis so it kind of loses its uniqueness. In Korea you probably don't see a lot people who have blonde hair, so for celebrities this a way to stand out.
I've seen a bunch of Asian Celebrities try blonde hair but not everyone looks good. There are few people I've seen where the blonde hair just ruined them, and made them look bad. Luckily there are some people who bring justice to their hairstyle and make me love them more! Here are my favorite 7 Asian celebrities that should make blonde their permanent hair color!
These aren't ranked or put in any specific order. This just a list of my faves.
Lisa (Blackpink)
Lisa is pretty new to the K-Pop scene so I haven't seen her with any hair color other than blonde and gray/silver. The hairstyle itself is great and with her golden ombre it just makes her features stand out more!
Jackson (GOT7)
This boy from Hong Kong definitely knows how to work almost every shade of blonde. Jackson definitely has an adorable, childish personality and this hair color makes him look young and innocent. He looks good, and he knows it.
Sunjong (Infinite)
He is so sexy with blonde hair!! Sunjong has a quiet, introvert personality so when he has his hair black, or brown I find myself ignoring him, or losing him among the other Infinite members. When his hair is blonde I can't help but notice how pretty he is!
Taeyeon (SNSD)
Taeyeon is probably the female that wears blonde hair the best! I love that she is able to wear such a light shade of blonde and still look magical! Her hair color compliments her complexion and doesn't clash with it. I always wonder how she stays so pale...
Junho (2PM)
Junho didn't keep his blonde hair for long, but I enjoyed it while it lasted. This hair color gives him a boyish look, and matches his mischievous personality!
Suga (BTS)
This man has had every hair color in the book! While I do enjoy seeing him with green hair, blonde hair makes skin seem more pale, and gives him a angelic appearance.
Sehun (EXO)
Sehun looks good with various different hair colors but blonde is definitely my favorite. It makes him appear more mature, and it also goes well with his complexion.
Yoona (SNSD)
To be honest, she looks best with strawberry blonde hair. Yoona has a youthful and innocent look. When she wears her hair in brighter shades it makes her look younger, and brightens her appearance.
So what do you think? Do you agree with any of these? Let me know which Asian celebrities you think look best with blonde hair. Until then!
