Everybody clap clap clap!  
Dils tortured asked me to write this post lol. And yeah, I think it's also about time~



Beware with the long post though xD.

★ It started with -what else?- WGM

One day, I noticed that most of people in my t-list were often tweeting these random words: "WGM", "Adam couple", "Khuntoria", "Goguma!", etc. I didn't feel too much of curiousity, but I guess it wouldn't hurt too look at what were they talking about.
What? Fake marriage? Pretend-to-be couple? What on earth--


That was my initial reaction. But it's a reality show anyway, so I thought after that, "Oh okay."

Few days later, I read somewhere that Adam couple was going to end. Since most of my t-list is Adam couple shipper, I went to Twitter and as expected, I saw some sad tweets. That made me curious, to be honest. I mean, it's a fake marriage. What makes them loved that much?

So I went to Wikipedia again (the answer to almost everything lol), looked up especially for Adam couple, followed some links, and saw some clips.

Oooh~ okay, I can see some affections, that was my thought. But still, I wasn't interested to watch WGM.

Until one day (I really really forgot what made me get the link lol), [livejournal.com profile] k1ru gave me a YT link to "Goguma couple's song". She said that it's a song from another couple of WGM, "They are cute, the song is good, try listen," that was (kinda) what she said. So I watched.

And just like that, I started to feel some interest.

★ Goguma, the land of love.

Cheesy title is cheesy lol.

Long short story, I fell in love realllly hard for this couple. I partly blame [livejournal.com profile] nijionna for she kept feeding me the links, caps, etc once I asked her about YongSeo couple xD. And yes, she is one true Goguma FBI. We DM-ed like crazy that now I counted we already passed 1000++ DMs rofl. Some (okay, a lot) of them were so incoherent and looked like we're shouting to each other cause we abused all capitals lol. But anyway, Goguma flailing can wait cause I think it will spend me more than one post to do that kekeke

★ SNSD?

I already knew a bit about SNSD when I started watching WGM. I know that they're a big hit here in Japan. Hallyu wave is coming to Japan, that was what the news said, and Shoujo Jidai is one of them. To be honest, I don't really fancy girl group. Especially after my bad impression about AKB48 and its sub-units. So, at first I wasn't really interested knowing more about SNSD. But that will take me another post just to talk about SNSD xD.

★ CNBlue.. what?

So, Seo Hyun is definitely popular girl back in Korea and also in Japan. But Yong Hwa? Who is this guy? When I read that he is the leader of CNBlue, an indie rock band, I raised my eyebrows. Firstly, I have never been a fan of rock music. And I have bad impression about indie band.

But when I watched WGM episode, there was this scene when CNBlue performed in a music show. And just like that, "I'm a Loner" stucked in my head for the whole day. Curious, I started listening to their other songs. And surprisingly, I enjoy them. Definitely a good sign.

★ "We make you high!"

So my journey continued (with the help of -whoelse?- [livejournal.com profile] nijionna). I watched their MVs, their performances, read their interviews, etc. After they debuted, most part of their journey sounded the same like any other band. But their story before they debuted still awes me until now.

They went to Japan (what the heck was their company thinking? I am still wondering) to study music and performed on streets. Often they got no audience. They once got arrested by Japanese police. They often starved because their company (again! urgh) didn't give them lot of money. Not to mention the language barrier.

But they made it. For their love of music.

Damn. And to think that they endured all of it when they were barely 20! (Yong Hwa is the oldest and he was only 20 when they started in Japan). I feel ashamed sometimes >.<

If I were to summarize why I like their music, it's actually easy. Because their music is simple. It's not complicated like the trend nowadays. Listening to their music is like going back to 90s with new taste. Their lyrics are also good, although some of their English songs/lyrics made me went "Eh?" and sometimes make no sense lol. And they composed most of their music by themselves. Talented much?

And somehow, I like the concept of CN Blue name which represents each of its members.

Burning Jong Hyun



If I can say my favorite guitarist now, that would be this boy. Watch their performances and you would know straight away that he's in love with his guitar. The way he plays his guitar is no joke. His soothing voice in "Teardrops in the Rain" just asdafhl;; And boy, with that killer eyes and adorable dimples, who can resist him?

Lovely Min Hyuk



When I first saw Min Hyuk and knew he's playing the drum, I didn't believe it xD. Because his eye smile is too cute to be a drummer (okay, I always assume that drummer = one crazy guy) lol. But sheesh, boy needs to eat more >.<

Untouchable Jung Shin



Jungshin is just... weird. LOL. But I like his uniqueness. The way he speaks blatantly so often to his CNBlue brothers amuses me. And don't you think he's so gorgeous? I do. He should think about being a runway model cause he just has the style and the charm.

Emotional Yong Hwa



Ah finally, THE guy.

Yong Hwa is a bag of talent. Apart from being a good husband (damn this boy is really a keeper, I would love to have him as a brother *smacks herself*), he's also a lovable leader, guitarist, vocalist, composer, and a DJ. Add actor on that list, btw. Oh and also professional snowboarder.

And because my chingoo was not really happy with my list xD:
HE CAN PLAY THE CLARINET, PIANO AND DRUMS. HE IS ALSO A HOST. AND HOW COULD YOU FORGET? HE CAN RAP. HE CAN COOK. AND HE PLAYS THE BASKETBALL WELL. OK, WHAT ELSE? HE CAN DRAW TOO, RIGHT? LOL -- [livejournal.com profile] nijionna


And the list will be much longer if I started to blab more xD.

★ BOICE?

I know that this is the official fanclub of CNBLUE. But I prefer not to be associated with certain name, so I just want to say that I am a fan of CNBLUE, and will try my best to support the boys :)

PS: There Dils. I did my homework already lol xD
