(da ST.L (though not for long, the call of the East Coast has become deafeningly loud as of late))
Just your run-of-the-mill, corn-fed, Midwestern-raised Kpopperette. Having been a bored life-time resident (with a too-brief respite in Bahh-ston for college) in the middle of nowhere stirred my passion for all things related to the exhilarating world of KPop. A serendipitous first-time trip to the Motherland further fanned the fires of this fixation for me: I discovered Korean MTV and played Fin.k.l’s “Blue Rain” ad nauseum that summer. My Kpop taste has expanded exponentially since then (phew!), but my geezer-esqe heart will forever pledge allegiance to the old-school stuff. The title of the least coolest member of the Seoubeats crew is mine, but for those of you who are interested in the unpopular, mundane, & trivial aspects of Kpop, I am your fellow loser! What else? I have an in-the-closet crush on Lee Junki, an out-of-the-closet crush on Yoo Jae Suk, an in-your-wildest-dreams crush on Kim Ji Hoon, an ajusshi crush on Song Kang Ho, a girl crush on Yoon Eun Hye, a cougar crush on Lee Hyori & a gorilla crush on JYP. *_*

funny writing ….probably one of the best!
Funny. all the contriutors (well from Ashe, to yourself all i’ve read so far) have listed Epik High as a favioute among music, which is pretty cool. I was intro to them recently via this blog and i think they brillant.
Anyway respect to the Shinhwa love, cos i feel it too! Loving the new look by the way.
How in the hell was Coffee Prince 120 dollars? Hehe that’s why I’m waiting until I teach English in Korea to buy dramas :)
fyi Dramas in Korea are kind of expensive too.. unless you buy the copied versions
