The “Evil” duet on Young Street Radio

It’s amazing how much evilness exudes from this picture…On Friday, Super Junior’s Heechul, Kyuhyun, Donghae, and Ryeowook were guests on Young Street Radio.

Yoochun and GD Haircut Look-Alikes

I noticed something pretty funny while going through my photos today..There were two haircuts that seemed quite similar to one another. They must have the same horrible stylist! Why anyone would suggest/recommend/willingly get this cut is beyond me. I think perhaps they should find that guy and reassign him to doing art pieces instead.Yoochun’s hair in Mirotic and GD’s Hair in Arena Photoshoot.

Watch out Yunho there is a new noky brother trying to take your chunnie away by matching haircuts LOL.

Super Junior Cupcakes

I really like Super Junior. I also like food. Put them together and you have..Super Junior themed cupcakes! Ok, so the connection isn’t that obvious. But anyway, I just want to share these cute cupcakes.

At first glance, I thought, ‘OMG. There are 15! They included Henry and Zhoumi!’ But when I looked at the faces properly, I saw that there were actually only 8 members on the cupcakes and they were just repeated. Sucks that Eunhyuk isn’t there. But I still like it, especially since the concept for these is their No Other song and I love that song. Hehe. Here’s to hoping that my friends would give me something like this for my birthday. XD

8 Brightly Colored KPOP Hairstyles, all colors of the rainbow, Part 3

You’ve seen parts 1 and 2, and now it’s time for the 3rd list of KPOP idols who rock uniquely colored hair.

And yes, I brought back the Key picture. :)

Red - 2PM’s Junho and Boyfriend’s Donghyun
For ‘Hands Up’ promotions, Junho had his hair in a hot, fierce red. And for their debut, Boyfriend’s leader Donghyun had fiery red hair too.

Orange - BEAST’s Hyunseung
For ‘Fiction,’ Hyunseung had a bright orange color in his hair. It looked pretty good.

Yellow - BIG BANG’s TOP
Recently TOP revealed a new hair color for all to see, yellow! This one, in my opinion, isn’t his best color, but still not too bad. I mean, c’mon, it’s TOP.


Green - Block B’s Jaehyo
In their Tell Them MV, Jaehyo’s hair had a little green tint to it.

Pink- Super Junior’s Sungmin
Sungmin’s pink hair gave him a super unique and cute look.

White/Silver - BIG BANG’s G-Dragon & TOP
Again, not really a color in the rainbow, but still. Both GD and TOP totally rocked the white hair. It gave TOP a sophisticated look for the GD&TOP album, white GD looked cool during his solo album promotions.

We’re on list three, but I bet there’s still a bunch of colorful KPOP hairstyles out there. Is there still anyone else who needs to make the list? Who rocked their color best on this list?

10 Idols Wearing Bow Ties

Most idols opt for a suit with a tie rather than a bow tie during fancy events as ties are easier to pull off and give off a gentlemen appeal. However, there have been idols who have chosen to wear bow ties instead and have rocked the accessory. With the help of Mixr Legions and their Legions List Mania, we were able to select 10 idols looking good with their bow ties from our very own database of Asian celebrities and idols from Pixs.
