Did you get in a fight with your stylist?

Did you get in a fight with your stylist?

Member: “Really, we’re wearing that?”
Stylist: “Yes. Got a problem with that?”
Member: “It looks like a 1980s reject.”
Stylist: *Sassy look.* “Oh really? Well, I’ve got something special for you. ㅋㅋㅋ

With a new song comes new styling. Groups change their hair and clothes and sometimes their whole image every time they release a new song.

I don’t always like the new look but, generally, they look like a group. However, sometimes it looks like the stylist ran out of costumes, or decent ideas.

When the whole group looks good and one doesn't it really looks like one poor member got in a fight with the stylist.

How come one member always gets the short end of the styling stick?

For example: 
Go Crazy!... With my hair

Wooyoung, darling, what happened to your hair? Was the hair dresser giving you a Mohawk and got distracted?

And Nichkhun… 
This is the only picture I could find. Don't be fooled, that's a skirt.
I’m glad that you've found happiness with Tiffany, but it would seem you've accidentally put on her dress. Couple clothing should not extend to the stage.

I’ve got to give the idols credit, though. No matter what atrocity they've been subjected to (hair, clothes, makeup) they always at least “act” pleased with it.
Sehun, the rainbow wolf
“No, no! I’ve always wanted the ‘rainbow threw up on me’ look! Hahaha!” *Dies a little inside*

I may be a Fangirl, But I'm not a Fanatic

In case you didn't know this simply by the fact that I'm writing on a blog about K-Pop, I like K-Pop.

Quite a lot, actually.

At least 60% of my favorite music playlist is K-Pop. I own more than one K-Pop concert t-shirt/sweatshirt. A budding collection of idol group light sticks holds a place of honor upon my window sill. I probably spent a day in Seoul with Rachel taking pictures in front of the HQ's of the major Korean entertainment companies (and by "probably" I mean I did...). And, the lock screen on my phone shows off a very dapper Taecyeon.

There's no denying it. I'm a fan girl.

But, I like to think I'm also realistic.

Yes, I'll pay to go to concerts of my favorite groups. Yes, I'll throw down some cash for a few pieces of merch. But, at the end of the month, my phone bill's gotta come from somewhere.

Yes, I'll take pictures in front of the YG entertainment building. Yes, I'll probably go to that cafe owned by some idol's mother. But, at the end of the day, I don't have time (or the desire, really) to find out 2PM's schedule so I can follow them around, and the call of the relatively normal sized clothing of H&M and Forever21 in Seoul is louder than that of the trendy boutique G-Dragon likes to shop at on occasion.

I will be "a" fan. I won't be "that" fan. If you get what I mean.

And, I know Rachel agrees with me on this.

So, hopefully, with our relative levelheadedness when it comes to K-Pop, we observe things from a perspective that is somewhat normal, and sane.

But, I make no promises.
