The idol thing.

Disclaimer: Ok. I just have to do this. Please do not kill me. Enjoy. =)

Since we are in the hot topic of Kim Hyun Joong, here's just something I wanna share. I first saw this guy in the variety show "We Got Married" (thanks to cw). He's funny and all with his trade-mark 4-D personality. But this guy keeps reminding me of a lot of other celebrities. Judge for yourself.


Round 1: Yamapi vs Hyun Joong






















Hyun Joong kinda looks like Yamapi in his younger days, when the latter still had that bleached-beng-hair and the silly-akira-personality. I'm glad yamapi lost that and matured properly into a gentleman now. =)


Round 2: Akanishi Jin vs Hyun Joong

Another pretty JE boy. Not only does their facial features look alike, their personalities share similar resemblance too. Both of them cracks me up with their funny one-liners said with straight face. Pity though the same couldn't be said about Jin's singing. I never knew boybands could sing until I first heard Hyun Joong and his bandmates sing in one of the episodes n "We Got Married".


Round 3: Bae Yong Joon vs Hyun Joong





Tadaa!! Who else but the king of K-drama itself. Yes, the guy who melted all the obba-sans' hearts in Winter Sonata. Bae Yong Joon is actually the first guy who I thought Hyung Joon looks like. It seems too Hyung Joon is well on his way to the stardom path that Bae Yong Joon had gloriously rode before; spreading his fame to Japan and the rest of Asia. What with his new drama Kkobotda Namja (the remake of Meteor Garden and Hana Yori Dango). Let's hope Hyung Joon won't look like Bae Yong Joon in 10 years time though. No offence but go google current pics of Bae Yong Joon and you'll know what I mean.

On another note, most people know that I have always been biased when it comes to the Japanese vs Korean stars. But I've to say after finding Hyun Joong now, I'm more open up. One thing that spurs me to have this paradigm shift is that the Korean boybands can ACTUALLY sing well. They kick their Japanese counterparts' ass at the vocal department with no problem anyday.

We are so used to the sterotype of famous pretty boys who can't hold a single note to save their lives sometimes. So, imagine my surprise when I first heard the aforementioned pretty boy and his buddies sing. Not only they can sing live but they are on pitch too. Oh, and top that up to bootylicious dancing (JE's boys dance like a bunch of sissies, save for Akanishi). But nothing amazes me more than DBSK's perfectly-pitched acappella performance. So much so, I have to not look at their face when they are singing because my brain just won't accept that pretty boys and perfect pitch can go together.

Oh, did I mention how the Korean guys are effortlessly taller and bigger than the Japanese too? Wai? Tell me waiiii like that? Le sigh~~~

Ah. Now only am I seriously anticipating Korea. ;)

P/S: My research method mid-term is so going to suffer tomorrow.
