Last week, on White Day, I went to Coex Mall for an appointment (unfortunately not with Hoon). After the meeting ended, I was browsing, and inside Artbox, a Korean stationary and trinket store I saw the wish tree pictured above. I spent some time looking at the wishes, and one of the first ones I read was the one pictured below the tree. It reads 나 권지용이랑 결혼해서 잘 살게요 ^^ This translates to: I will marry Kwon Jiyong a live well (together is implied I think).

I loved it and thought I should share it with you all.

Pictures, Description, Tracklist, and all Korean lyrics uploaded.

Hoping to have all Romanizations up by Saturday Night (kst) and then translations by then end of the following week finished!

Se7en.

2nd Mini Album.

Perfection.

*Part of Se7en 2nd Album digital Thank You Box*

I don’t know this song well, but the lyrics are interesting. Check it out!

Also, check out the much cleaner 2PM tab.

Will hopefully be getting lots more new content up soon!

I know my current giveaway isn’t over yet. But here is my disclaimer:

My next giveaway will not happen until I reach 1000 followers.

I won’t tell you how many followers I have now, but it is reasonably close to 1000.

So, tumblrverse, promote me and you’ll get a totally epic giveaway…

Yeah, this is a shameless plug. I don’t even care.

The 1000 follower giveaway will pertain to the ask box question portion of the current giveaway. ^_^

Beast’s Fiction and Fact Album

I just got my copy of Beast’s Fiction and Fact album. I got it in the mail because it was free. Why was it free? Well, the answer to that is because I managed to win the giveaway run by sanrioho and her kpop cd tumblr shop k-popcds.

I am currently jamming to it now.

A lot of people ask me where to buy albums and merch and stuff online, but the truth is, since I live in Korea I don’t really use the internet for this stuff. I like going to the store because I don’t have to wait and I have the possibility of winning some giveaway or drawing and getting posters or pictures or whatever with the album (if I go when it’s released especially), so I usually don’t know how to answer except yesasia.com or whatever.

Now I’m a happy proponent of k-popcds and their tumblr. From what I can tell it’s a two (three?) person business. One person is living in Korea and does all the shipping of the albums (they also sell posters) and another person does the customer relations and whatnot. You can go directly to the store for a listing of albums here.

From what I understand there was some tumblr store drama, but I don’t want to get involved in it. I just wanna say thanks to k-popcds and sanrioho for running this giveaway.

This just goes to show that it’s possible to win a giveaway with only one reblog (I reblogged only one time).

Also, if you are angry because I live in Korea, you can just go away. I don’t have money to buy the cds either, so whatevs. Any money I do have I put towards Big Bang so it’s nice to be able to get a cd from another artist that I really really really like (B2ST)

I’ll do a review of the album by the end of the week, I think.

Just for funsies, I’ve tallied the responses for the ask box question for the extra entry for the giveaway and the leaders, in order (and so far!), are as follows:

1. B2ST (10 votes)

2. 2ne1 (8 votes)

3. SHINee (6 votes)

4. (tie) Block B, TVXQ, 2PM

I am really surprised by:

a) Block B being so high. I don’t listen to Block B AT ALL. Maybe I should get on that.

b) TVXQ being so low. They are huge.

c) SNSD not making the top 5 (they are just outside that list, along with FT Island and CNBlue)

d) SuJu not even being close to the top 5 (one vote so far) poor suju.

Anyways, if you haven’t entered you answer to my ask box DO IT. You may only enter your answer ONCE. If you submit more than once, you are disqualified.

Finally, reblog the original giveaway post once a day, and try to get your fandoms involved. A giveaway from YOUR favorite artist will be the next giveaway. ^_^

I know the Fiction Music Video is out and that this is old, but this is better than Fiction. Seriously, everything about this is perfect.

Also, the rapping section is very reminiscent of Epik High and I LOVE that.

Also, omg, they all look so different. But awesome.

Oh, and in case you didn’t hear it, B2ST’s 비가오는날엔
