All I Want For Christmas Is…

36

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or maybe even Festivus–we wish you all a ‘Happy Holidays’ and thank you for making us a part of your K-pop addiction.  From everyone here at SB, thank you for reading and supporting Seoulbeats.

At this most wonderful time of the year, while you and yours celebrate the season of giving and being with family and friends, the staff at Seoulbeats’ began to reflect on what we’d like for Christmas from K-pop Santa (should there actually be one–it’s possible).  All year round we provide everyone with our insights into the world of K-pop… and we’re thinking it’s about time that K-pop Santa starts paying off our efforts.  So, here’s our individual wish lists.

Nabeela:

  • for Jun.K to get hotter and do more solo work and then marry me because I love him
  • SNSD to not come to the states, because they’re going to lose power in K-pop as they make a fool of themselves and the Hallyu wave in the states
  • and to get a big fat acceptance letter from a good university!
Gil:
  • Shim Changmin.
  • Brave Brothers finally realizing that his true calling is raising llamas in a small remote mountanous village in Argentina, not making autotuned pop songs
  • U-Kiss AJ going to Columbia. Me getting accepted into Columbia.
  • Having Rino Nakasone‘s dance skills
  • DB5K
  • Kim Hyun Joong not acting
  • Complete control over Greenland
  • That Stormageddon:Dark Lord of All being the new companion for Doctor Who season 7
  • To proofread English in K-Pop songs.
Natalie:
  • French pastries
  • INFINITE
  • A large K-pop concert in Portland or Seattle so I can actually go to a K-pop concert
  • For SM to start treating SNSD better and give them good songs, a better concept, and some rest
  • For SM to let me buy the rights to SHINee
  • A job
  • Free People dresses
  • Glittery shoes
  • A scarlet coat with a hood
  • The Legend of Zelda 3DS bundle

 

Patricia:
Young-Ji:
  • YG concert in NYC!
Fannie:
  •  A job
  •  For the SOPA bill to not pass in Congress… actually, while you’re at it Santa, can you reverse the decision on the NDAA bill as well?
  •  For Kang Ho-dong to come back to variety shows. Preferably on a Christmas special in a Santa suit.
  •  A pair of Sam Edelman Lorissa pumps (black)
  •  One of Sungmin‘s massages
Peggy:
  • To pass my finals.
  • Kang HoDong to come back! 1N2D isn’t the same without you!
  • Snow on Christmas!
  • Lee Seung-gi to serenade me.
  • Park Shi-hoo to propose to me.
  • SHINee to actually have a manly concept this year.
  • More solid bands/music concepts, I don’t need 15 more SNSD wannabe bands.
  • To win the lottery so I can have a mega shopping spree!
Jessie:
  • A sleigh ride with Yunho & Changmin
  • A new cell phone so that I can get Starcalls from SHINee
  • A million frequent flyer miles
  • A Rick Owens classic shearling jacket (as seen on Sooyoung)
  • An Ikea shopping spree
Maddie:
  • Ai Yazawa to get well so she can end NANA‘s hiatus.
  • BEG‘s Sixth Sense Album signed by all members with a Xmas letter addressed to me.
  • Rosetta Stone Korean Language Set
  • A YG Family Tour in 2012.
  • Vivienne Westwood Armour ring.
  • An affordable yet chic studio apartment.
  •  A sleigh ride with JYJ‘s Micky Yoochun.

 

Subi:
  • ZE:A to tell me the days of the week.
  • Hyuna to buy a pair of pants.
  • 2NE1 to take some tranquilizers.
  • DBSK to get back together.
  • For Yunho to [insert Rated R action here]

 

Madina:
  • For Chang Kiha, Dynamic Duo and Leessang to book a US tour.

Renie:

  • My whole family home for Christmas
  • Signed albums of 2NE1 & Wonder Girl‘s latest work
  •  Taeyang  
  • An announcement of Taeyang’s solo comeback
  • Lee Ki-woo wrapped in a giant box suprising me with a new iPhone 4s [a girl can dream can't she]

 

Johnelle:
  • A YG Family Concert ANYWHERE in the US, although Honolulu would be GREAT
  • The return of the original Family Outing
  • Daesung‘s solo album
  • Big Bang & 2NE1 on Running Man
  • A new car
  • and last, but not least… World Peace

Happy Holidays, everybody!

    Peggy, you can’t have my avatar (Park Shihoo~~) and my Lee Seunggi at the same time! Hahaha. And man. I miss Kang Hodong even more now~ ;_; 

    I don’t celebrate Christmas, so yeah, all I want for this holiday is SM stop interfering JYJ’s activities and let them promote like other idols (oh yeah, they’re idols, and so are Big Bang, BEG, 2AM, etc… “idol” isn’t a term for “bad singer”, you know) promote. Let them face the hardship of idols’ rivalry and let just see whether they’re as good as us fans praise.

    YG, give me bigger and banger (?) comeback of Big Bang! A Daesung’s solo too, pretty please? And JYP, give me a 2AM’s comeback!!!!! xD

      • Daydream

        I put him on my list first, so get back in line lady. But since I am generous, I am willing to do a time-share. If not, we can always split him in half. 

        Mud fight in bikinis is not happening, sorry.

        • Anonymous

          Lmao I’ll agree to that.

          And sorry Lubrro, no mud fights in bikinis. I could be a hairy old man for all you know lol.

    Wishes for Christmas:

    - May SM rediscover its mojo, and do interesting MVs or better songs. And a bit more rest would be good.

    - May Beast keep on with the nice songs, but also keep on discovering.

    - May everybody that has improved greatly this year (T-ara, Rainbow, A-Pink) get a pat on the back this year, and keep it up.

    - May Kara use their Japan success to inspire them, and help them find their place.

    - May K-pop groups start using talent as a selling point, instead of a
    lame Unique Selling Point like boobs/biracial/hip-hop inspired. These
    take away from music and undermine the group.

    - May Kang Ho Dong come back. TV is just not the same without the big man laughing.

    - And can the Brown Eyed Girls autograph my limited edition album, puhleese!

  • qwerty

    Nabeela and Gil, WOW, I’m going to assume you guys are high schoolers waiting for acceptance letters. And I thought every writer on Seoulbeats was in their 20s (in the best way possible!) because you guys write with such efficiency and maturity. You guys WILL get big fat acceptance letters, I mean, who would reject someone with such writing skills? All Seoulbeats writers are awesome. Keep up the good work, you guys are GREAT.

    Me wants a signed Wonder Girls CD also. That is all.

    • Johnelle

      They’re not even the youngest on the team…

  • tardisblue91

    Yay there’s another Doctor Who fan that’s into k-pop!!!! Gil, I wholeheartedly agree with you that Alfie should very much be the Doctor’s next companion. lol.
    Other than that all I want for Christmas is a signed Infinite cd oh and their puppies from their show :D

    1. YG family world tour (so happy to see many of you want this as well)
    2. Daesung’s solo album
    3. GDTOP, Tablo, Tiger JK and Tasha to debut and make it in the US
    4. Sandara Park to work her ass off to find a new singing technique so people would stop bashing her (i still believe she can do something useful for 2ne1 instead of updating he me2day and doing CFs)
    5. Park Bom to work on her dancing and breathing. and to stop sounding like a crackhead when talking. yes i know its cute and all but just NO, HELL NO.
    6. HoMin to get the hell out of SM and join JYJ
    7. Yunho beside me when i wake up (oh-so-late bias)
    8. Wonder girls to promote Me, In/Stop/GNO for their US promo and finally get better recognition there. They’re my oh-so-late new found love, Wonder World is one of the best albums in 2011.
    9. A brand new pair of Louboutin for my work mood booster
    10. i dont think that wud help. I want a new job -_-”

  • Gazza

    I’ve got about 10 minutes before Christmas is over, so here goes:
    1. Choi Minho
    2. SHINee perform ‘Get It’ live
    3. COBU 3D to actually be a (half-)decent movie
    4. JYJ and HoMin to be talking again, if this is not happening already (probably not likely TBH); I don’t mind if they never work together professionally (though that would be good too *hint hint*), but I want nothing more than for them to be able to see each other and just hang out if they want to do that.
    5. Challenge Kyuhyun to the ‘Of Course’ game (where I will thrash him)
    6. (more) good music

  • Cathe

    …all I want for Christmas is for JYJ to finally be given the opportunity to promote themselves on South Korean national TV. I want to see them perform in Music Bank, Inkigayo and be guests in Running Man, Strong Heart, and other variety shows.

    Merry Christmas, Seoulbeats Team! :)

  • tegami

    All that I wanted for Christmas came true! I passed Gen Chem 1!!!! And I managed to avoid getting into academic probation! WOOOHOOO!!! Hahahaha. University has ruined me.

    Anyway here’s an additional list that I’ve complied right now~

    1) For Block B to achieve world domination! 
    2) JYJ to perform on stage again in the ROK without SM getting their panties in a bunch.
    3) Zico to fall madly in love with me, then we get married and have 12 children together.
    4) Block B doing collaborations with: Phantom, BoM, Verbal Jint, JYJ(!!!).

    Merry Christmas Seoulbeaters!

  • Skye

    XDDD All I want is a temporary job, to get accepted into the uni&degree I want and, now that you’re at it, Santa, I would totally love to have some R-rated action with either Micky Yoochun or Kim Heechul. No Minwoo will do too, if those are too busy with whatever.

    (DB5K would be amazing too, as SHINee’s manly concept, proofread English, a Henry/Amber sub-unit and a new SJ-M album. Thaaaaanks, yes, I’ve been a good girl =D).

    oh. JYJ TO PERFORM AGAIN, PLEASE.
