Hello! Emm.. what date is today? January 16? Ermm ok in five days this one month off is over. Ok. 

So. I've been spending the last week of my holiday by randomly searching any videos of Big Bang that I haven't seen yet, and the ones which are very hilarious that I love so much! I watched GD's Infinity Challenge (IC is not like Running Man. It's hilarious, but I find myself laughing less than watching RM), GD&TOP's Night After Night (definitely my favorite. It's like, my ultimate cure for, almost, everything), Big Bang's MVs review by Simon and Martina (they're veeeerrryyy hilarious! Love them! I'm a nasty!), and Big Bang's old MVs and performances. Their past works and performances totally blow my mind. They're really, really good already back then. And to be honest, I love the past Big Shows so much... They're like, very theatrical, the stage is huuuuuuuuuuge, and they sang the old songs which I love, and I miss them a lot.

But the things that caught my attention the most, is TOP. The young Choi Seunghyun. The one who called himself Tempo back in his underground hip-hop life. The boy whose the stage name almost named after YG's favorite guitarist, Mark (I can't imagine if his name is Mark tbh. I mean, Mark?!). The handsome man who firstly caught my heart by his rap in Lies, Love Song, and GD&TOP's songs. And it turns out that his past solo works (and features) are also really awesome. When I think I can't love this man for another reasons, I keep finding things about him that make me fall for him even deeper.

1. T.O.P solo: Act Like Nothing's Wrong

I've heard this song before, long looong time ago. During my early days as VIP. But I remember at that time my internet connection was suck, so I couldn't listen it properly and I gave up and stopped listening to it. And recently, I found this on Youtube again. And watching this performance... the feeling's like admiring, loving him for the first time.

Music wise, it's very, very nice. His voice is heavy, the instrumental voices are dramatic, but I find it comforting. I love this song. It's different with his Turn It Up. Turn It Up is like a headbanger, but this song suits the scene of when you sit on the car, looking out the scape outside the window. And his rap, totally reminds me of why I love him in the first place. His rap. My favorite part is from 3:34-3:55. I want to see him rapping that way again. In that kind of beats, in that gestures. This rapping way is similar with his part in Crayon on MAMA 2012 stage. This rapping style reminds me of his past history as an underground rapper... as Tempo. When he's not an idol yet, but he already got that passion to become a rapper. Rapper Seunghyun, I love you. Performance wise, I love it. I almost cried when he started playing the harmonica... He clearly showed his emotions during the performance. He's giving his all out. This performance is the best, and I'd loooooove to see this solo stage in the next Big Show...

2. Red Roc Hello ft. T.O.P

Am I super late? I just found this video yesterday from eatyourkimchi! I even found it in a non-fansite! And don't be bored, but I'll keep saying: I love it. It's not Big Bang, yes, but I love this song. I love their voices! Hello hello hello.... Remember when I said that I'm more into K-hiphop, and maybe that's why I like SNSD's I Got A Boy and love The Cypher 2012 so much? This song is hip-hop, but not idol-ish hip-hop, and I love it in the same way I love Epik High's songs. Epik High is not idol group, kay. (And it's very hard to search for another Red Roc's work! Someone could help me...?)

That's about the song. Now, the music video. Ok. Where to start? Because, there are like, gazillions interesting things that I like and love a lot. Because it's TOP. T.O.P. 

Ok, let's start from the first scene, when he looked straight into the camera with anger face while walking and hitting the fences. He's so damn hot. And then he recalled the times when he found out that his girl was cheating. Start from the 0:19 scene when he walked, wearing shades and bringing a flower bouquet, and then SMIRKING to the camera (IT'S MY WEAKNESS OKAY). Then he saw his girl kissed another man and they just ran away by car and he's CHASING THE CAR WITH ANGER. I LOVE IT SO MUCH WHEN HE SHOWS HIS ANGRY FACE DO YOU UNDERSTAND. But he couldn't catch them. He gave up. So he ran to another direction, still devastated, in anger. He felt betrayed. Then he found a bat. Glistened by anger, he grabbed it and he got his determination to catch them back. He ran again. With that angry face, he looked so daaaaaaaamn hot.

And then he shaved his hair. HE SHAVED HIS LONG HAIR ON SCREEN AND HE'S GETTING HOTTER IN HIS BALD HAIR OMG I GUESS I JUST FOUND MY FAVORITE HAIR OF TOP. He looked so masculine, tough, strong... you see that, right?! And I thought that mirror room, is the same room as where GD showed his frustration in Haru Haru MV. (Or maybe it is the same?!) Ok, so after he shaved his hair, he walked again... smashed everything... encountered with a group of boys... fought with them... again he's sooooo hotttt especially with that bald hair. And then finally he found them. On a parking lot. And again, this parking lot scene reminds me a lot of that scene in Lies MV where they're rolling on their roller shoes and in Haru Haru MV where GD attacked TOP in TOP's car after knowing that TOP was with his girl?! Or maybe it is the same parking lot?!

And then start from 3:10 when he jumped off the car, stood in the hood, and gave them a "HOW COULD YOU CHEAT ON ME AND HOW COULD YOU STEAL MY GIRL" look, then smashed the window. It's also, my favorite part. He's so mean.......... (and I like it) And then the girl's angry. But he didn't care. It's all already over, anyway. He walked away. The end.

So that's it I just described the interesting parts of this MV, and it seems like I just described the whole MV?! Well.... because everything about this MV is interesting. And from this MV, I understand his passion for acting better. He's giving his all out, again, in his acting. Not just in this MV, but in Haru Haru! (And to be honest I think, this is like Haru Haru MV 2.0 T.O.P ver) After watching this, I'm getting more excited for his upcoming movie, Alumni! His previous movie, 71:Into The Fire, is amazing, it made me cry for minutes! So I believe that Alumni is gonna be another hit from him! Actor Seunghyun, I love you!

3. GD&TOP Night After Night (with Daesung)

This is it, my most favorite any K-variety show's episode ever! Hah! GD and TOP are totally like dorks during the show, plus Daesung (as host) kept making jokes so it's definitely hilarious! It's a must watch hahah!  This show is aaaall about GD&TOP, about how they felt... towards anything. About Big Bang. Makes me know another side of them, stories, that I haven't known!

My favorite part is when TOP explained the role of each own during the GD&TOP promotions: 

G-Dragon told me to balance the center, like with Big Bang, so that he can fly above.  I thought that the concept he wanted this time was to ‘fly’.  The balance has to be just right, so I figured I’d stand center while he flies around.

And then GD laughed so hard after hearing this hahah! For the resume of the whole show, read it here. But you definitely must watch this hahah! Here is the link for watching the show.

4. Haru Haru GD&TOP Acoustic Live

Haru Haru is definitely one of my favorite song of Big Bang. It's a full of emotion song! I love it so much, especially the live acoustic version which often sung by them in concerts. In Jakarta's Alive Tour, they also sang it in acoustic version... and I was crying hahah it's beautiful. Oh, in another stages they asked the fans to sing along with them. When more than 12000 people sang it together, it's so beautiful.

And then I found a performance stage when it's only GD&TOP who sang. And it's just as beautiful as the original...

And this is a sound clip of Haru Haru during Alive Tour Seoul 2012. Just listen how beautiful their voices, and how beautiful the fans' voices when they sing along to it, together.

Nah, that's it. Actually there are still several interesting things about TOP and Big Bang that I found... But this post is too long already hahah. I'm really waiting for you solo album, TOP, I really am. I'm waiting for rapper TOP to comeback! But yes, yes I know that he's into acting right now, and I really can't wait for his upcoming movie, Alumni. I can sense a great work by you is coming, Tabi... Good luck, actor Choi Seunghyun! :)

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...

 (picture from here)

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!

I've never fallen for any skinny guy before except GD (he's always the exception). But it's official. I fall for this man.

LEE SOO HYUK.

LOOK AT HIS FACE. HIS STARE. HE REMINDS ME OF CHOI SEUNGHYUN A LOT WITH JIYONG'S BODY SO HE'S LIKE THE PERFECT COMBINATION. Ok stop here.

So. He's a Korean model-actor. To be honest, it's not love at the first sight, it's more like love at the first sounds. I wasn't this interested before when I firstly saw a picture of Soohyuk. But then I watched a clip of Strong Heart in which Soo Hyuk is one of the guest. And then DANG. His voice. His deep voice. Just like Seunghyun's. I fall in love.

None of my friends know who he is, lol. But it's expected, since he is mainly a model. He is not an idol. I know him because he is part of Nuthang crew. Then what is Nuthang? Haha none of my friends also don't know about this circle of friends. Nuthang is a friendship gang, consisted of singers, models, actors, designers, stylists. And you know what, TOP and GD are also part of this gang, so of course I eventually know Soo Hyuk haha. (In fact TOP is the one who named it Nuthang, lol)

Soo Hyuk is so... skinny. He's even skinnier than GD because he's way taller than him. But I don't know, beside his attractive, sexy, husky voice, there's something about him that attracts me. His jawline, maybe. Or his eyes. Beside voice, I'm weak of intense glare and sharp jawline. He looks like a vampire. Like, sexy vampire... he's even sexier than Robert Pattinson. And I really think that he could replace Jason Rathbone as Jasper lol.

Soo Hyuk is classy. Elegant. I like classy man. That's why I like Choi Seunghyun. The fact that they're close friends is really, reaaaally amusing hahah. I really like it when the Nuthang is hanging out together. I really, really want to be in that circle of society to be honest LOL in my dream. When I heard that GD and TOP spent the last Christmas eve's together with Nuthang I was like YAAAAAAAAYYYY hahah!

But seriously, I really want to have such a good friendship like they have. In some interviews, they talk about Nuthang and their friendships.. And based on that, I can tell that the relationships they have is very precious :)

I am a bit shy. I’m not that sociable either so I mostly hang out with friends I already know. The friends that I meet are usually friends from back in high school. We all went to different high schools actually but somehow got close because we all used to hang out in the same neighborhood. There are people who see us as some kind of ‘celebrity group’ because of some of us are popular such as being singers, stylists and other jobs but that’s a misunderstanding. We just happened to become friends.

Lee Soo Hyuk (talking about Nuthang)

A lot of my friends (NUTHANG) are artists or designers. They’re friends that I’ve known since I was little. They always ask me to set them up with lady celebrities, but I don’t have any female celebrities’ numbers in my cell phone so the disappointment is no joke.

 Choi Seunghyun

 

 So let me share some pictorials of Soo Hyuk which really grab my heart.

 

And some of his photos with Nuthang. And let's just say that, other than the reasons above, I also looove him so much with this long hair. (Top: with Yanggaeng -also part of Nuthang. Below: with TOP)

 

I have so many Soo Hyuk/Nuthang feels recently because he keeps updating his Twitter hahah! Follow his Twitter @LXXSXXHKKK! He's currently on the way to Paris, after walked in runway in London. And he is so cute on Twitter. Like, really. Once (two days ago, I guess?) he posted a photo of his polaroid shot for the agency and tweeted  something like "My name is Soo Hyuk but they spelled it wrong :(" OR something like that because I forget the exact sentence and he deleted it already lol. But although he already deleted, he posted it again with different caption, this time in Korean (I don't know the translation). Then he deleted it again and posted it again LOL. This time he tweeted "Bananas agency in paris.". LOL HIS AGENCY IS CALLED BANANAS HAHAH sorry but I kinda find it funny... that a model agency is named as Bananas... Hahah! And now I know what he meant by they spelled it wrongly because on the Bananas' website, his portfolio URL page is "soo-huyk' lol. 

And also, he tweeted "Paris" before. But he deleted it. And not long after, he tweeted "Paris >>>>> London" looooll Jiyong's style!!! Oh, and other thing that makes me delighted is the fact that Jiyong's the first one who Soo Hyuk's followed on Twitter!!!! Hahah and they also follow each other in Instagram! 

But what makes me curious, though, how is the relationship between him -and the rest of Nuthang- and the rest of Big Bang? It's very rare to see them together. But 2NE1's CL is close to Nuthang. Maybe Yanggaeng introduced her like TOP introduced GD? (Yanggaeng is 2NE1's stylist) Hahah this thought came in because I just figured out that Soo Hyuk doesn't follow Taeyang and Seungri on Twitter. BUT HE FOLLOWS KIKO MIZUHARA. TAEYANG AND SEUNGRI DON'T FOLLOW KIKO. This fact, though, makes me think that maybe Kiko and GD aren't dating. Maybe Kiko is just part of Nuthang. Or, Nuthang's close friend (close friend, a category which somehow fits CL, Yoon 'Ambush', Verbal, and some few others...) . Since TOP confessed that he's also close to her... Wait, but Soohyuk and Kiko are both models so....

Omg so many Nuthang's feeeeeeels hahah! If you want to know more about Soo Hyuk/Nuthang or keep updated by the latest news/photos of them, just follow www.thenuthangcrew.tumblr.com! That is my favorite blog of Nuthang! Hehe this blog is also the source of most of the photos and the interviews I included here. Want to see another pictorials of Soo Hyuk? Just go to his page on the agency's website here.

Good night!
