Since I basically have nothing to do this particular week, I've been wasting my time for lurking things on web! I've been searching over some magazine spreads of Korean artists who I like, then booooooom I got lots! There are so many nice recent and past magazine spreads of my favorite artists which I've never seen before. So I began saving my favorite shots!

As always, click the image for its source.

First, no other than my man Choi Seunghyun. I've seen many spreads of him, like for Cosmo, Vogue, but his looks for this spread (especially the cover shot) for Dazed and Confused is just a picture perfect of T.O.P, rapper Seunghyun. Yes it somehow reminds me of him rapping full-heartedly and by saying that, yes, I miss his voice, which pulled me to this whole world of Korean music scene in the first place and I really want to get it again soon(er).

Next, the Cosmopolitan spread of the tiger and the giraffe: Kim Jong Kook and Lee Kwang Soo! Whoever watch Running Man must know about this two men. To be honest, this spread is pretty shocking to me because, well.... I have different impression about them haha! Again, whoever watch Running Man surely understand what I mean! I mean, I know that Kwang Soo is a model in daily basis and Jong Kook is a singer, but that impression is kinda brushed off by their witty and funny appearances in variety shows! So looking at them through this spread, all friendly and manly, is very heart-warming! And may I add that the article along the spread is worth to read, it shows how well and lovely relationships they have in reality.

Move to my most favorite female idol group, 2NE1! And may I add that I really, really miss them and I really, really want 2NE1 comeback. Hear that, YG? These various spreads of each member in four different magazines which are released on the same month this year (I think on March) simultaneously is like shouting 'COMEBACK! COMEBACK!' and yet there's still no news!

Anyway, I love all the spreads! My favorite is Minzy for Marie Claire! All of them are fabulous, Dara for ELLE is so pretty, Bom for Allure is graceful, CL for Harper's Bazaar is as fierce as always, but this spread shows us that the baby Minzy has grown up into a beautiful lady. She goes fierce and all confidence with her electric blue hair. Dara is being goddess and vulnerable in her photos for ELLE. The queen of corn, Bom, is really really pretty and CL is just being her usual self: queen.

As for the closure, I'd like to introduce a lady singer which I've previously known from variety show Family Outing: Lee Hyori. She's a well-known national singer in Korea, loved by the public despite all the controversies around her. She recently just released her fifth album Monochrome with three new MVs on Youtube. I really, really love the track and the MV of Amor Mio. Have been listening to it all day and not gotten tired of this yet. 

As part of her promotional activities (well, I guess), she's done a pictorial with Vogue. She nailed the circus-theme perfectly and I love it.

And... that's all for this post. I still have a lot pictorials that I find amazing but this post would be very very long! These are my ultimate favorite, though. But the Dazed and Confused with TOP as its cover is the ultimate favorite! I (wait, ALL his stans!) miss him so much that we could cry over a single picture or selca or fanacc or everything about him for days. 

Come on, man, drink your wine outside your cave.

Fangirling mode: ON.

Ok. I'm not really gonna fangirling.. Nope. But yes I'm gonna talk about Big Bang. Not for their music, but for their fashion sense. I'm not a fashion expert so probably I'm just talking nonsense here lol, it's only my opinion anyway.

Although I love Big Bang for their music in the first place, I cannot deny that I also love their looks. They're unique, in a sense that they're not just handsome, but there's definitely something about them that set them apart from the regular Korean boy-bands type. They have the faces, and they have the outfits.

Let's just say that they're not only great in producing music, but they also have such a great fashion sense. They can mix and match everything flawlessly. They can pull of some hilarious outfits which are surely cannot be done by any other people. So, guys, don't ever try to match them, okay? Just, don't. I mean, how can any other guys walking around with this jacket flawlessly like this man?

I don't care if it's Commes des Garcons or Chanel or Versace or whatever, if it looks weird, just don't try to wear them, kay? Weird things belong to Big Bang LOL.

But thankfully, they mostly wear something really nice, really good pieces instead of weird! They look good on them, I guess because they know what is good for themselves. Like TOP, he's already too comfortable with coats and jackets and everything long-sleeved. And although I really want to see him wearing something else which is more revealing, I must say that he looks very good in this style hahah! This man is all about classy and elegant anyway. And I ship TOP and Prada. Many fans hate the coats because they hide his sexy body perfectly LOL but please, you guys too must admit that this man looks very elegant and glamor and flawless in those long coats.

And then Taeyang and GD with their gangsta style lol. All golds and diamonds rest on them! They wear things from Chrome Hearts from head to toe like, all the time. I'm still curious why Chrome Hearts haven't offered them an endorsement contract to be honest... I mean, they're surely one of their loyal customers! And both of them have even already came to the head office of CH and met the designers and their family. FAMILY. They're truly CH's gems, right?! Ok. So. Their styles. Scarves.. Rings... Earrings.. Belts... Leathers... Tank tops... Caps.. Beanies... Varsity jackets... Baggy pants... Well, it's Taeyang who dressed more like this, lol.

But for GD, he's versatile. He wears, practically, everything. Suits? YES. Tracksuits? YES. Woman clothes? YES. Skirt? YES. And surprisingly, he's good almost in everything. Those woman clothes he wears, look good on him instead of me, I guess... Like the flower-patterned jacket from Celine he wore in the Vogue photoshoot.

 

 

Daesung and Seungri wear simpler clothes! Simple, but fun! Leather jacket.. Sweater... Simple long-sleeved shirts.. polo shirts... The maknaes love the simple ones! Who says simple is unattractive? Sometimes simple is better ;) And who would you prefer to bring to your parents: the one dressed in fresh, clean, sophisticated clothes, or the one dressed in studded stuff? :p (But I'm sure, Taeyang and GD WILL NOT wear any weird stuff when proposing hahah!)

 

 

 

 

 

As much as I love the way they dress themselves, I don't approve some. Like, GD in skirt? Sorry, man, no matter how good it falls on your legs, I can't let it pass :(

And not only GD, I also don't approve his friend, Soo Hyuk, wearing skirts... Fortunately he's only wearing it in runways. Haven't seen him wearing any in real life!!

And then this purple velvet suit TOP wore... That's actually one fine suit, but I don't like the v-neck shirt beneath. I mean v-neck.. shirt... in purple... umm no.

And then this hair... thank God we're already passed this phase.

They're getting famous day by day, getting all the loves... and once I wondered how many do these boys get? Hahah but they really, reaaaally deserve it :) Their hard work... All of those sweats turn into money, gifts, etc. Big Bang is Big Bang. A group of beloved boys with their distinctive charisma, voices, and fashion sense. They love fashion, fashion loves them. Big Bang, together and individually, have endorsed Calvin Klein, BSX, FUBU, North Face... (let me silent for a moment because CK and FUBU ads by TOP is just flawless)

Oh! Other thing that's interesting for me, is the fact that they can differ what to wear on stages and on daily life, without losing their style! It makes me think that, they are their own stylists. They dress themselves with something that they really like, that match their personalities. Or their stylist already know them so well, know what they want, and what look perfect on them.

And not only their stylists, apparently... fans also already recognize their style lol. Fans buy them all things -like shoes, accessories, clothes, that really suit them perfectly. And I'm also happy when I know that Big Bang wears the gifts they got :') TOP is recently seen wearing gifts from fans! Like this brown Prada shoes! It's a gift from one of his fansite, UTOPIA!

And I should add that, as a big fan of TOP, this man should try to walk on runway. He has the face, the talent, the good body's proportion. He should join his fellow model friend, Soo Hyuk!! I mean, really, he walks on airport like walks on runway...

Big Bang is indeed a leader. They lead the music wave... Kpop leader... Fashion leader... Yep, fashion leader. Even GD said he wanted to open a clothing line!! That must be E P I C. I'm really sure he would open one in the future, though. He's really into fashion. I mean, he even attended Paris Fashion Week 2012!! And his looks while attending the shows were very, very memorable. I mean, come on. Who would forget a man dressed like this in a bright pink hair?

They wear branded stuff. From Chanel to Versace to Chrome Hearts to Thom Browne to Dolce & Gabbana to Gucci... name it all. They have it on their closets. And unsurprisingly, those brands, love Big Bang back. Have you seen the quirky MV of Fantastic Baby? Notice the crowns they wear at the end of it? To be honest, I thought those are some pretty crowns made beautifully by the creative directors of the MV. But nope. Those are actually some magnificent crown jewels, art works by Comme des Garcons x Christian Astuguevieille. Those, are probably not for sale, since they're displayed inside the glass boxes at Comme des Garcons Seoul. I mean, look. The privileges they get...

And few days ago, GD tweeted that he got a gift from Chanel and Taeyang tweeted that he got two pairs of shoes from NIKE...

Our gold and diamond boys, indeed!!! Ah! I'm writing this because I just randomly lurking around this blog: bigbangswaq.tumblr.com. And the source of some pictures I included here are from this blog. From this blog we can know what Big Bang wear... and they also tell the price and where to buy! But.. but.... they're freaking expensive I can only admire them from afar, while they're rested on Big Bang!

Oh, before I end this blabbering post. I think I could find a lot of better pictures of them, but I'm just too lazy lol. Sorry! Just trust me. They really, really, reaaaally have a great fashion sense! Fashion crime is far from them!

Yes, that's a line from Maroon 5's Payphone. Although I'm so into Kpop right now, I'm still enjoying Maroon's 5 latest album Overexposed. I reeeeaaaally like Payphone, I'm jamming to it all day but too bad I don't really like the rap parts.

Anyway, I'm having some... issues right now. About this and that. I cannot tell precisely what kind of problems that I'm having. Old story, actually, more like just another episode of it. Truthfully this thing really ruined my holiday mood. I don't want it and I'm tired, and I don't know how to fix it back or what should I do to end this. Forever.

But let's move on!

One more thing before I end this random (and pointless? Lol I'm bored!) post, I want to share these pictures of 2NE1 for 1st Look magazine! I just found these on their Facebook. And they look gorgeous as usual! My fierce queens are fierce!

Also check out their editorial photos for W Korea Magazine in Cannes, France!

Loving all these pictures of 2NE1 in France for W Korea Magazine. They were attending the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival in Cannes, France, and they were serving as joint public speakers at one of the seminars to further spread K-Pop awareness.

Flawless queens. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Loving all their outfits, especially Dara's green dress and CL's plaid coat. Park Bom will always be the lovely queen, and that red hat is cute. And look at Minzy, she's growing up and she looks prettier, prettier, and prettier.

But it's their attitude that makes them look gorgeous even more.
