I call it…What.The.Bak.

Well, after seeing pictures from Yunho’s recent shoot in CHORUS, I suppose I probably shouldn’t complain:

At least Changmin’s pictures don’t include dead animals.

DBSK member Changmin hasn’t been too visible in the public eye as of late, but his recent appearance in the August issue of Elle Japan has stirred up conversation amongst fans and fashionistas alike. Check out photos from the shoot below:

Changmin seems to be an ELLE favorite these past few months, having done multiple shoots with ELLE Girl in July and May. Fortunately for fans, ELLE has included brief interviews alongside his last few magazine appearances, giving readers a glimpse into the post-DBSK life of the now-quiet pop star.

The beautiful Changmin wore clothing styles different from before, so taking advantage of the atmosphere left over from the photoshoot, the interview began. With a one-question and one-answer format, Changmin’s language is introduced to everybody.

Q. Recent object that you find cute?
A. Toothless, from the movie “How To Train Your Dragon”

Q. If you were to date, would Korean or Japanese be better to use?
A. Of course, I’m more fluent in Korean, so it’ll be easier. If I don’t speak Japanese for a certain period of time, it will become unfamiliar.

Q. Which article of clothing did you like the best from today’s shoot?
A. The Prada sweater. I normally like knitted clothing.

Q. Do you buy things in Tokyo? Which shop do you normally go to?
A. I will buy stuff, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to peacefully go to the store I usually go to so it’s a secret.

Q. What’s the difference between Korean and Japanese fans?
A. Essentially, I don’t think that there’s that much of a difference.

Q. This is your first time being a lead character in a drama, what are your thoughts after the filming ended?
A. Because I’ve always focused on my activities as a group, being the only one in the drama, I have to shoulder all the responsibility myself. Also, this is my first time challenging acting, so I will feel really pressured.

Q. After the filming ended, were there any view changes in terms of relationships and marriage?
A. There wasn’t any particular changes.

Q. What are your thoughts regarding the filming site, Jeju Island?
A. I was really surprised with how easily the weather changes, which is completely different than in Seoul.

Q. What artist’s song do you have on repeat?
A. CNBLUE

Q. Do you have interest in musicals?
A. Very interested. Although I don’t have any particular plans of participating in any right now.

Q. What do you want to say to your Japanese fans now?
A. My Japanese fans, thank you so much for your concern for me during this period. Although it’s frustrating how I can’t tell everybody the specifics of future plans and the direction of my career, there will be work later on in Japan, so please anticipate it.

Q. Tell everybody how you spent your resting days.
A. The best way to relieve stress is going out for a drive. Going bowling with friends is also pretty good.

Q. Did you cheer for the world cup?
A. Late last night the Korean team was disqualified. I watched all of it at the hotel, so I’m lacking sleep today. I really like supporting sports, so I will often go and watch Baseball matches. But when they lose, I will feel really despondent.

Q. What are your thoughts on attending the Chanel fashion show?
A. This was my first time experiencing sitting in the first row of a fashion show, so it was very surprising. I was really really happy.

Q. What are you particularly interested in right now?
A. Just 3 days ago, I became hooked onto Tennis. In the past, I’ve always wanted to play Tennis, but I’ve never actually started learning yet.

Q. The most recent Japanese word you remember?
A. “Humidity”. The humidity is really high, because my hair has natural curl, it has all become really curly.

Q. If you were to make an analysis on your personality…
A. The typical B-blood type. If I were to be completely immersed in something, I wouldn’t be able to see the people around me at all.

Q. What is your average daily schedule?
A. Because it’s really difficult for me to get up early in the morning, I will get up later in the morning and work out. Then I go to acting class and the day ends really quickly.

Q. Do you make your own food or order takeouts?
A. Mostly it’s food made my others and I warm them up later on.

Q. What are your plans for this summer holiday?
A. I’m really busy with work this year, so there probably wouldn’t be a holiday.

Both Changmin and Yunho will be appearing at SMTOWN Live 2010 in Seoul next month.

Well, now. Honestly, how can someone look so ridiculous yet so attractive at the same time? U-Know Yunho – an enigma wrapped in the Korean version of Super Fly.

I don’t know exactly what concept they were going for, but if it was “skeevy ostentatious pimp” well, Chorus Magazine, give yourself a pat on the back.

I personally don’t care what color hair BoA sports on or off stage, just as long as her comeback is worth the five year wait!

I like MBLAQ. There I said it.  I like them, weak vocals be damned (though G.O., whew). Obviously that has nothing to do with them being highly photogenic, and then their propensity to tear off articles of clothing…..

Ah ignore me! Here, go ahead and watch them backstage at their recent Vogue (June issue) photoshoot.

Kim Ah Joong, the actress best known for her leading role in the hit movie 200 Pounds Beauty, will be featured in an upcoming photo shoot for Cosmopolitan Korea.  I had recently heard that she was in Maui for a photo shoot and this must be it.  Check out he pics below.

The concept of the photo shoot was to showcase some of the ‘it’ looks in resort wear for this summer.  The clothes and accessories chosen for the shoot were meant to emphasize unique, feminine styles that weren’t too sexy or flashy for women.  It was reported that the staff and tourists on site during the shoot were all positively commenting on Ah Joong’s fun and sexy charm while taking pictures.  The first thing that came to my mind when I saw these pics was  ’What the heck did they do to her hair?  She looks like the Mad Hatter’s (Johnny Depp’s) sister. I hope that’s a wig.”  I’m sure the namjas out there were looking at something else, namely Ah Joong’s bikini pics.  Kim Ah Joong’s full Maui photo shoot will be available in the June issue of Cosmopolitan Korea.

Socks to be exact, ha! And don’t give me that guff about “socks aren’t clothing” because they totally are. I apologize in advance however for any preemptive heart attacks I may have caused.

Better than waking up to plate full of steaming pancakes, a collection of TOP photos to start off your day. Other than the no socks-rolled-up-jeans thing he looks great, especially out of the Big Bang crazy-wear.

All right -I’ve never been a huge fan of  the unbearably famous boy group but…. you know I think I’m coming around a bit -

It’s probably the decrease in members, much easier to keep track. Yeah, that’s right.

A lot of folks are missing the ladies of 2NE1, not the least of all the fiercely loyal Blackjacks. Perhaps a new photo spread will help, courtesy of Celtic magazine, with the girls sporting more Beanpole-wear. Meanwhile, we lay in wait for more from 2NE1 in their crazy, technicolor habitat.

I am SERIOUSLY coveting this outfit right now...

And join her I wish! Not only does a vacation on a sandy beach sound lovely right now, but the clothes Yoon Eun Hye models for the JOINUS Summer collection are absolutely beachy-keen. She looks amazing as always and I want everything in the shoot from the heels and hats to the chunky jewelry, clutches, and ethereal clothes. (Actually I take that back-they can keep those bedazzled jeans. They’re cute-just not my style, ya know?)

It’s rare that I don’t find YEH pretty in photoshoots, but I think this pretty, yet still edgy/funky look, suits her best especially. I’m glad to see her doing her modeling thing since she’s currently not acting in any dramas-hopefully she decides on another project soon! (I generally like her lighthearted dramas.)

What I wouldn’t give to have those clothes (and YEH’s body!!) AND be on vacation right now… anyone with me?!!
