Welcome to a blog by Green Tea and Chai. We're two friends who decided one day to team up and share our thoughts and travels, and sometimes our mild obsessions, on all things Korean and Japanese (for now). Take a look at our posts and feel free to leave comments. No obscenities, please. Enjoy!
SHINee's back again, with a new song Why So Serious, misconception of me. SMTown just released a teaser video.
I think I'm going to like this song better than the Dream Girl song. I'm liking the style of the video better than the fantasy Dream Girl. I would like to see the whole video before comment any further.
In this teaser, Jonghyun is missing. If you haven't heard, Jonghyun had been in a car accident on April 1st. Yup, no April fool's joke. After visiting his home, Jonghyun was driving back to his dorm when he hit the guard rails at Dongho Bridge. He had to undergo surgery to fix his nose. He will return to his normal schedule after his recovery. Rest long and get better Jonghyun, your fans can wait patiently for you.
I thought this was funny that SMTown had put this video out. The first time I saw this, I couldn't stop laughing. The managers of SHINee, Super Junior, f(x), SNSD and EXO danced to SHINee's Dream Girl.
The managers are:
SHINee's - in the red and black jacket
Super Junior's - in the white jacket
EXO's - in the black jacket and knit cap
SNSD's - in black pants and shirt with "I Trust" on it
f(x)'s - in black pants with red strip.
They look young for managers of these popular groups. They were pretty good considering that they are not performers but managers. They did keep some of the choreography simple when they got to their solo parts. Dancing with the mops instead of mic stands was funny.
SJ's manager is cute and a pretty good dancer. He kept to Minho's part well.
EXO's manager is kind of funny performing Taemin's part. He did some parts but he probably knows that he can't dance like Taemin, so he made a lot of the movements up.
I would have loved to hear what the groups said about their managers' performance.
Aish! I've been busy and behind on so many things.
One thing is SHINee's back...again and I'm liking the song. Dream Girl is their 2013 comeback song. Their 3rd album is Dream Girl: The misconceptions of you.
First off, I have to say, it's been a long time since all the boys look really good. In other concepts, there is always one person that the stylist messed up their hairstyle. I guess I just like short hair.
In the MV, I completely missed the song the first time I watched it since the visuals were so distracting. It's very fantasy, Alice in Wonderland-like concept. The clothes are very colorful and seemed so mis-matched. There a few choices where the boys look just odd, but overall I like the style.
For the song, I like it. They describe it as a mix of acid electro funk. To me, it's like a mix of Dazzling Girl and Sherlock. Taemin and Minho has more singing parts in this song. It seems like they are just increasing their parts more with each song. I'm so glad for them.
Choreography-wise, I've been watching their stage performances and I like that they dance with the mic stands. Very different.
This is what SMTown said about the album:
The 3rd album is released in twopackages: Chapter 1. "DreamGirl-The misconception of you" and Chapter 2. The misconception of me, and Chapter 1 and 2 have hidden keywords organically related with each other that the album gives the fun of finding and connection keywords and interpreting them in a variety of ways...the story-like element, the fun of listening....
Nice.
Here you go...Enjoy the video and the Dance Version too, cuz, you know I like those too. =D
