Kim Jaejoong Delivers Another Quality Album In "NO.X"

Many tears were shed when everyone's favorite Kim Jaejoong was sent off to his mandatory army duty almost a year ago, because for all we know that could've meant no more music from him until at least 2017. However we should've known better, and that of course Jaejoong had something in store for his fans even when serving his military service. His first and latest full album dropped in 2013, and I am forever bummed I never got the chance to do a proper review on it since I started this blog in early 2014, but it was one amazing album and so him. You could feel his soul and passion on every single song, and it was a very emotional yet satisfying experience. Of course this means that the expectations for this album were sky high, and fortunately "NO.X" doesn't disappoint.

8 Favorite Male Voices

Part of what makes K-pop so amazing are all the talented people that make up the whole phenomenon. There are idols with flawless dancing abilities, mad rap skills and of course the one with chill-inducing voices. Below I have listed some of my favorite voices in K-pop in no particular order, and note that this isn't based on technical skill or vocal control but rather whose vocal tone I find the nicest to listen to.

D-Day Has Arrived: Kim Jaejoong Enlisting on March 31

We all knew time was running out for many of our dear 86-liners, but somehow it still feels too soon. Jaejoong's agency C-Jes Entertainment recently revealed that the now 29-year old singer is joining the army to serve his two mandatory years, and fangirls all over the world shed tears of sorrow. That includes me too. It's hard to imagine a world without sexy Jaejoong selcas and awesome high-notes, and although I've been a fan for a relatively short amount of time I've grown massively attached to him.

Bandmates Yoochun and Junsu will probably enlist too after their individual ongoing activities, and then it'll probably be another three years til the next JYJ project happens. Now all that's left to do is await the news of the other half of post-split TVXQ, and I'm sure at least Yunho will go later this year after their Japanese tour.

I hope he serves well and comes back healthy and happy.

Glorious Photo Shoots - February Round-Up

Glorious Photo Shoots - December Round-Up Part 1 (Bring the Boys Out)

SHINEE's BACK! Well, at least in the world of photoshoots but that's better than nothing. By the time this is posted Christmas will have passed, but these glorious pictures below are sill full of winter and holiday spirit. Also, this month had so many great photoshoots that I had to make two separate parts. No complaining though!

Glorious Photo Shoots: August Issue Round-Up

As I will continue with my magazine related posts because there are just certain photo shoots that needs to be seen by everyone, I thought I would do this monthly thing of posting some of my favorite ones that have come out during the past month. Since new pictorials are released all the time and I love seeing my favorite idols and actors/actresses looking gorgeous, I thought it would be a shame not to share those pictures with you.

In the picture above you're blessed by the presence of Lee Hyori herself, looking stunning as only she knows how.

Eye Candy Saturday - Jaejoong

Once I laid eyes on one certain Kim Jaejoong I never really looked back, because how could you? Whether you like his looks or not, you can't deny that his appearance has an impact and causes a reaction. His face is just not one you see everyday. But there are so many more things I love about Jaejoong, like his wonderfully strange personality, his sweet and caring heart and his talent within numerous areas. On top of being one of the most known visuals of all time, he also possesses one heck of a voice. Like, how can someone be so extraordinarily good at so many things? Not to mention he also, acts, composes, produces and designs. God, this man is perfect.

Best Of Kpop 2013 - Songs

I have to admit it was really hard to select my top 10 favorite songs of 2013. There are just so many good songs! Therefore I am starting with some honorable mentions that did not make the cut, but were still frequently played throughout the year.

Lee Hyori (w. Park Jiyong of Honey-G) - Amor Mio
Block B - Be The Light
BESTie - Love Options
G-Dragon - Crooked
CNBLUE - Coffee Shop
Mblaq - Smoky Girl

Now, moving on to the real deal.

Best Of Kpop 2013 - Music Videos

Part of the reason that makes kpop so great are the fantastic music videos that accompany many of the songs. These are my top 10 mv's that were released in 2013, of those that I have seen (in no particular order).

Best Of Kpop 2013 - Albums

Since it's now 2014 and a year of kpop has gone by, I thought I would start with a summary of my favorite albums of 2013. (This is only full length albums, so I haven't counted in minis or single albums).
