Lim Jeong Hee - "Would Never Be Real" MV featuring JoKwon
The much awaited full version of the music video is FINALLY here.JoKwon, thank you for continuously surprising me with your limitless talent.
2AM as Miss AM - Bad Boy Good Boy Mp3 Download
Just a quick update to share some download links for the mp3 version of Miss AM's Bad Girl Good Girl parody cover.I ripped two different mp3 versions from the two practice videos that were released,and they aren't that much different actually; one version sounds clearer but has more laughing noises in the background whereas the other sounds softer(?) but with less background laughs and such.
I don't know if you guys noticed this but our boys sang this in it's original key. Heck, there are a lot of things that 2AM is famous for and it must be mentioned that one of them is their capabilities to sing female singers' song in it's original much-higher key excellently.And they did it again here..lol.

JoKwon - Men's Health Photoshoot Behind-The-Scenes Vid + Photos
[Reviews and more proper thoughts to be written down later.*fans self*]
10.09.28-29 2AM JoKwon @ Jeju Island For WGM Shooting+Photos
Kwon went to Jeju-do for a 1 Night and 2 Days adventure and shooting the 1 year anniversary episode for WGM with his partner Brown Eyed Girl's GaIn recently. They were also joined by SeulOng and BEG's JeA for some part of the trip.Some photos of Kwon on the island has popped up on the Net and here are some of them:
And here are the photos from when Kwon was at the airport departing for Seoul from Jeju.Apparently he was "stuck" at the shops when a group of female students who were on their school trip surrounded him and followed him around wherever he went in the airport.And then there were the Ahjummas and Grandmas who are big fans of Kwon on Sebakwi who followed him too.Well,there is that famous saying in Korea that JoKwon is THE trend, and that phrase isn't popular for nothing..lol.
I hope he had a splendid time in Jeju since he kept saying how much he loved it there when he went with his mother and he also mentioned about wanting to go there again during Brand New Concert back in August when Kim Shin Young interviewed 2AM on stage.Can't wait that one year anniversary episode of WGM to air!

ohh..look a that sexy back! >.<
The last time Kwon went to Jeju with his mom on his own private time for a short vacation,when they were at the airport and about to leave the island for Seoul there were only the two of them with no managers whatsoever,and some unfortunate incidents occured.According to fanaccounts he and his mother was surrounded so suddenly and they were approached quite aggresively by the crowd that Kwon(whom I guess never expected such an incident to happen - perhaps he was still unaware of how popular he really IS at that point in time) was very much taken back and he was visibly upset at all the pushing and pulling that his mom had to go through before the airport personnel acted on the situation.Photos and fancams from this incident have been pretty much banned on Kwon's personal fansites but I had the chance to see some of them before they were deleted and I seriously have never seen Kwon THAT upset/angry,which is understandable since it was during his private holiday and his mother had to endure all the unnecessary hoopla too.It was good to see that this time around since he was on a work schedule and appropriately protected by his team and managers Kwon was the opposite of how he was the last time he was leaving Jeju and I hope he can now put that bad experience behind him.

The fastest runner out of 120 idols? Introducing JoSain Bolt.
Yeah,it's Josain Bolt in the house y'all!!
Korean fans' quirky way of quickly making up nicknames is something I find very amusing and in the recent case of "JoSain Bolt" I found myself agreeing with it wholeheartedly..lol. Rumour has it that Kwonnie clocked in a 12.10 seconds record for one his 100m wins during the Idol Sports Championship event and that is quite a feat.Especially considering he was up against other Dance Idols who has dancing practices almost daily and whose stamina must be at a top level.It's awesome that the results of Kwon's dedication to his daily workouts was shown unabashedly during the event;sure he has always been good at sprint events since Middle High School but it would not have been easy for him to beat out the other exceptionally fit male idols if his own stamina was not in a good condition.
Game face on.
Hello there mister, you can't just stand in the middle of the track
and suddenly strike a sexy pose, y'know?
and suddenly strike a sexy pose, y'know?
Be considerate to your poor fans and think of their healths,please?
Winning the race oh-so-gracefully.
Sexy back + uber-adorable hairstyle = JoKwon^^
The day before the recording of Idol Sports Championship JoKwon was staying up all night for the photoshoot of Men's Health,and according to his tweet he only slept for 4 hours before he started the day again and proceeded with recording a sports show.Now can you blame me for being so impressed at how he STILL managed to beat those other Idols at a sprinting event?
I'm JoKwon and I run like the wind.
100m Men Heat 1.Noteworthy competitor in this round included 2PM's "athelete" JunHo and even with him in the running,Road Runner Kwon just flew by and easily won the first round.
100m Men Semi Final 1.Again Kwon left his other competition biting the dust when he emerged the winner with a comfortable gap between him and the second-placed DongJun as he reached the finishing line.
The moment of truth.100m Men Final.A worthy additional info to know about this event would be the fact that while waiting for the final rounds to commence fans noted that Kwon was missing for a good 3 hours with 2PM's WooYoung (Kwonnie later tweeted that the duo went to the waiting room and had a good afternoon nap),and when he came back onto the field he was looking decidedly dazed and out of it,wondering around the field aimlessly and not long after that he was called for the Final event.Kwonnie did some stretching,went to take his position on the track and then..Voila! No extra point for guessing who won.Although DongJun of ZEA gave him a very tough competition in this round,Kwon who kept gaining momentum the more he ran eventually emerged the victorious winner and proudly claimed his Gold Medal for the event.
Let it be known that JoKwon the Athlete.. takes his stretching seriously.
And I mean,very seriously.
Hmm,nice...view? :p
JoKwon..for the WIN!
And we finally have a winner!
Victorious JoKwon!
Yawning sleepy Kwonnie
2PM's ChanSung telling the sleepy Kwon to snap out of it
Kwon was also the last outgoing runner for his team (Big Hit Entertainment team,in Green) during the 4x100m relay event and yes,you guessed it right..his team won first place for that event too!
Winning man Kwonnie gets cheered by his happy teammates!
But unfortunately it must also be mentioned here that perfect as he was during the 100m event,Kwonnie failed so very miserably (but also cutely) at the 110m Hurdles event..lol.
Kwon: "I suck at this and I'm failing so might as well try to look cute doing it"..
Thank you Miss A's Jia for providing us with a cutie pie Kwonnie by giving him the hairstyle lol

10.09.24 Lim Jeong Hee - Would Never Be Real MV Teaser starring JoKwon.. & the Afterthoughts
And the teaser is finally revealed.
At exactly 12:01 am today Big Hit Entertainment revealed the first teaser for Lim Jeong Hee's title track off the Mini Album for her comeback entitled "Would Never Be Real" and it is officially publicized now that the main male actor for the music video is JoKwon of 2AM.
Although it had been hinted a while back in the "On The Road to Break Up" teaser that Kwon will indeed be starring in a music video,it was never made clear for which music video it was going to be.Originally I had thoughts and hopes that it will be for the song OTWTBU itself but after Big Hit released the Recording Session MV for that song I realized that it had to be for Lim Jeong Hee's title track and not the duet.But who knows,maybe Hitman Bang has some other twists up his sleeve about this?Only time will tell.
But let's not get side-tracked here.Let us focus on the most important thing right now - how breathtakingly amazing JoKwon is in the teaser.How different,yet still very much the same.How just when you think you've known enough about him he keeps on surprising you with new sides that you've only thought might exist within him;a new depth of his persona.
That he can become what he became in the music video is somewhat a personal satisfaction for me.As a fan,it sometimes pain me when I heard of how people think of JoKwon as only what they've seen on certain tv shows, or that those few minutes clips of him dancing kkap is all there is to him.It is sad when people forget that there are more dimensions to the guy than those mere moments they chanced upon him.They forgot than beyond the image of KkapKwon there could possibly be a soulful,extremely talented young man with an intelligent,matured personality who has experienced the ups and downs of life in more ways you can imagine; a person who had at one point had became so jaded he refused to allow new people he meet into his heart because he had felt too much hurt by doing that, and a person who despite all the crappy things he went through somehow still managed to bring a positive energy to the people surrounding him and were always looking up to him for strength,guidance and confidence.And a guy who always give his best at something he's doing.
I won't talk much about how handsome he is in the teaser because he does look very handsome.And I won't spazz too long about how that beautiful suit fits him like a dream because it really does.And I don't think I need to explain how that look he has in the teaser had shaken the hearts of Noona fans everywhere (yours truly included) because it did..overwhelmingly.Okay..so maybe I will be doing those exact things sometimes later.At the moment though all I want to do is to share the sentiments that this little teaser felt like some sort of a small victory for myself.Because it made people questioned if the JoKwon they see in the teaser is the very same guy who excellently danced a parody to Miss A's song earlier this evening.Because it made some other people uncomfortable and questioned themselves,wondering if that JoKwon should be doing this kind of thing when he should just dance Kkap all the time.
On the day that he finished working on this MV, JoKwon tweeted photos of his bloated hands and feet after he was done and was finally heading home. Obviously it was a result of all those long underwater shooting.Was it around 3am Korean time?Or was it at 2am?I can't recall it exactly but it was definitely at an ungodly hour, signifying yet another day of non-stop working and no sleeping for our favourite guy.Some people who didn't get what he tweeted about was wondering if he's just being funny and weird(some point blank laughingly tweeted back to him asking if he's crazy) whereas the ones who did understand felt an unexplainable aching in their hearts - a mixture of feeling sorry that he has to work so hard when he doesn't really have to, feeling helpless that there's nothing to be done that could help him feel better,feeling pleased that he's given such a great chance to show off his personal talent,a feeling of respect and admiration at his professionalism and high-level commitment.
And this for me was the crystallizing moment that emphasizes how it would be to look at JoKwon only on the surface and accept whatever was presented to you and then rest easy,and what would happen if we take the time to look a little more closer at him, and the other different things we will discover about him then.And as somebody who had chosen to call herself a fan of Kwon,I am glad that this teaser is finally revealed and that Kwon gets a new opportunity to share with people another side of him that will allow people to learn more about him.
Kwon-ah,you've worked hard and you did well.Being your fan is like taking a plunge into the unknown, but it's okay because while I'm on this ride I have a feeling I won't ever be bored of it.Discovering more of you will be a journey I will enjoy to the very end,wherever that end may be.
