proving that i can still be a rabid fangirl!
Happy New Year!
It's already 2009 for some of you, and for some of us, we've still got a few hours to go. It's a time of endings and beginnings...
I wish for you all the best of life in 2009. May you achieve success and happiness - may you enjoy life, friendship, love. :) No matter what happens, remember to smile and do your best. ♥
AND NOW TO THE LESS IMPORTANT STUFF. KOREA'S END-OF-YEAR MUSIC SHOWS.
NB: Watch in HQ whatever you can. Either by clicking the link under the video, or by adding &fmt=18 after your url. It's pretty worth it. ;D

Okay, okay, I have to do the obligatory Wonder Boys flail.
I'm easily entertained, alright? Wonder Boys doing SNSD's Kissing You and Wonder Girls' Nobody kind of made my life. Mostly because of how they're all so into it. Oh Asia, why are your boys like this?
See also the WG's reactions. I love Sunye LOVE LOVE LOVE how she's laughing and so enthused, and how Yeeun is doing the dance moves to Kissing You, and Sohee being all blushy and OMG when Taemin does her part. ♥♥
Yes, so past that, I was not particularly impressed by the Big Bang/DBSK "battle" that they built up. Big Bang's shocking stage was awesome (oh Seungri singing Strong Baby and his dance moves for crack crack crack crack alksdjfd dying.
efio_47 and I nearly fell over laughing.) and so was DBSK's - gratuitous ending to Mirotic, of course, but I approve. Boyskin! (Also, I like Jaejoong's jacket. :D)
Dance battle was...eh. Maybe I am just biased towards Geng and Hae's dancing, but no one besides Yunho really made me sit up and take notice. Taemin's was solid, though. Good for you, JAILBAIT. Hyukjae was very, very good, BUT I WAS BLINDED BY HIS SILVER SPACESUIT AND JABBAWOCKEEZ MASK so I couldn't really focus on the dancing aksdjflk. :(
Yunho was good though. :9 So very, very good. I do like Yunho dancing - and best.
As for Taeyang and Junsu's piano battle - both were good players and good singers. Taeyang did have a better English accent though. And, well - DON'T KILL ME, FLIST, but I kind of prefer Donghae's version of My Everything. I'M BIASED, OKAY?
BUT YOU GUYS. THE HIGHLIGHT OF SBS GAYO DAEJUN (other than Wonder Boys) WAS TOTALLY THE WONDER GIRLS' MILITARY-STYLE NOBODY PERFORMANCE.
HOLY SHIT. WHY SO HOT. I am loving the caps and the military jackets and the boots alksdjflkd nngh fuck the boots. And they changed up their choreography and SUNYE IS SO HOT and YOOBIN IS SO ALSKJF. GOD.
Boy & I agree on how hot the WG are, haha.
Oh, also! SHINee's performance was awesome, awesome. They did a medley of all their singles this year (Love Like Oxygen, A.MI.GO, and Noona is So Pretty) and alksjfld THE ENDING. ♥!! Whoever that girl is (from the video, right?) she is pretty and smiley and I like her. :D

WONDER GIRLS AGAIN. Nobody Remix version. They are so punk rock and lolol matching Big Bang's hardcore leather-and-metal-studs look. Red and black, mm. Sunmi looks so much older than she is! She usually has a very fresh and innocent look but in this performance she comes off much more mature. Maybe it's the hair...no more straight bangs for her!
Big Bang does an awesome orchestra version of Haru Haru. There was no dramatic entrance like in the orchestra version of Lies last year, but oh I do like Big Bang doing orchestra versions of things. Even if I WTF seriously at GD's hair - crimps? Seriously? Bb, STOP THAT. Or wear a hat. ;_; (But I so loled at the guys in the audience singing along so enthusiastically. Sweet.)
And Big Bang performing Sunset Glow with Lee Moonsae, the original singer of the song alksjfdl. I love how Big Bang is so popular with older artists too - LMS had a blast rocking out, you can tell. Crazy Dog had sampling from Seo Taiji, who totally is a BB fan. (And of course, Lee Hyori being a BB fan just makes me laugh.) Everyone comes onto stage and I am made :D by the Wonder Girls rocking out to this song. They're so cute. (My biases are so obvious, omg, shush.)

WONDER GIRLS AND BIG BANG. SPECIAL STAGE. *_* Sunye/Taeyang do Irony (Sunye...so hot...), Yoobin and Seungri do Lies (Yoobin, what are you wearing?!), Sohee and GD do Tell Me (alkdjf WHY SO CUTE, BOTH OF YOU, SUCH GIRLS), Yeeun and Daesung do Haru Haru (awww their voices~), and Sunmi and TOP do Nobody (...holy crap Sunmi, also lol pimp!TOP in his chair).
CLEARLY, BEST EVER SPECIAL STAGE. Because then Big Bang performs So Hot, except rapping and somehow manly (I'm so sexy). God ilthem so much. And Wonder Girls perform Last Farewell!
WHAT CAN BEAT THAT? ♥♥♥ Pretty much nothing. But these also happened:
Wonder Girls do another dance remix of Nobody. I'm not sure I like the dresses...it's the shaggy skirt that I find a little questionable. You can also see just how much darker Yoobin is compared to everyone else.
Also, SHINee performs a Dance Intro, Replay, and A.MI.GO. Good job overall, but I'm distracted throughout by Minho's golden robe, lolwtf. Seriously. Is that sexy? You so pimp, boy. (Taemin continues to be adorable and tiny in his oversized jacket.)
AND SHINHWA PERFORMED. :)
In conclusion, I still think I love WG's SBS Nobody performance best out of the three. But I'm pretty sure my favorite performance for the end-of-the-year show has to go to...oh god, Wonder Boys or the WG+BB special stage?
LET'S JUST SAY THEY TIE. It's too hard to pick otherwise. Both make me :DDD like crazy.
Anyone who can get me downloads of the WG's SBS performance (or the WG+BB Special Stage, but I expect someone over at
yg_bigbang to get that up eventually) - I will love you for life.
Wrapping up a year of Kpop obsession with that. :) Next year (i.e., sometime this week), look for a Smiling Pasta pimp post and a Will/Skandar fic rec post.
...OH. OH CRAP. I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE SJM CHRISTMAS FANCAMS YET. ALSKJFLD.
sjchina, here I come.
