I’ve mentioned previously that I watched a Korean Drama called Boys Over Flowers (BOF).

Cast of BOF

Since I finished watching BOF I’ve been youtube-ing quite a lot…

Watching what?

um…. SS501… ><

It’s a Korean boyband made up of five members. I came across them while looking up Kim Hyun Joong, the guy on the far right of that picture above. Half of the SS501 guys look like they’ve had some sort of plastic surgery… but in all I think they’re quite decent looking. Turns out the band has some pretty catchy songs too (I like U R Man and Love Like This). So their english is all wrong and kinda strange and they seem to be more like a bunch of girls sometimes (maybe it’s just the korean/jap guy thing) but I quite like their songs… I think I’ve actually heard U R Man before in a shopping mall somewhere before this~

Anyway, since I’m already blogging about it, might as well go all out right? Obviously I’m currently having some sort of obsession. The last celebrity I blogged about was the actor Ryan Reynolds. Kind of… I did stalk him on youtube for a while after that too. i just didnt mention it

So. Why SS501? Actually… its because of Hyun Joong. That smile can sweep any girl off their feet. He’s a musician (he plays the guitar…), a singer, a dancer, and now an actor… He did a reality tv show before BOF, and after BOF he’s been doing one tv ad after another and at the same time SS501 came out with a new album. And they seem to have a new choreography for every song… imagine the amount of work he’s been doing! I’ve been watching quite a bit of stuff (anything with english subtitles…) and he seems like a really hardworking person. So I’m a bit wow-ed…

added January 16th: I forgot to mention this yesterday. I’m impressed with SS501 because unlike many other boybands, there isn’t really one person who gets all the attention. Hyun Joong is supposedly the ‘leader’ of  the band and I guess he is most well known because of all the other things he does. But when it comes to their music, all 5 of them sing and they are always equally featured in every video. which is nice.

Ok I’m going to save myself from sounding like a lovestruck teenager (which I’m sure I’ve already failed to do…) and just post a couple of pictures and call it a night. Just so you know what I’m talking about…

Goodnight!
