One Zombie, Sharing Her Love of all Things Hallyu With The World
Believe it or not, the time has finally come to announce the winner of my very first “Best of” award. I promised I’d leave the choice solely up to you and you all responded by casting your vote for the K-Pop tune you loved most. Well the results are in and it’s time to announce the winner of THE BEST TUNE OF 2014. Are you ready for this? (Oooh! I’m so excited!) Drum roll please! Continue reading “THE BEST TUNE OF 2014: And The Winner Is…”
A couple of weeks ago I asked you all to help me decide which K-Pop song should be given the title, “Best Tune of 2014” and I promised that the choice would be left solely in your hands. As I’m sure you remember, I set up a series of polls which included every “Tune of the Week” featured in 2014, broken down by months, and asked you to vote for your favorites. Well the votes of those polls have been tallied and now it’s time for you to make your final decision. Which tune will win the title of “Best”? That, my friends, is totally up to you!
Hey hey hey! It’s Friday and that means it’s time to take a look at this past week’s K-Pop music video releases. Woot!
TEEN TOP “Missing” (Dance Version)
Okay, so here’s the deal. I’m super exhausted today (I haven’t had more than a handful of hours of sleep for the past oh, week maybe), I’m trying desperately to catch up with all of the dramas I’m reviewing, VIXX is currently killing me with all of their ERROR teasers and I’m still on a B1A4 concert high so today’s Tune of the Week is a concert special that I recorded just for you. It’s Jinyoung singing “Knocking On Heaven’s Door” during the Chicago stop of B1A4’s Road Trip across the U.S. Continue reading “TUNE OF THE WEEK: Jinyoung “Knocking on Heaven’s Door””
Last night, B1A4 made the second of four stops as they make their “Road Trip” across the U.S., treating to BANAs and K-Pop lovers in the Chicago-land area to a show that was absolutely amazing. Continue reading “B1A4’s “ROAD TRIP” TO CHICAGO”
Well BANAs, I promised I’d show you how to make your very own bean sprout headband so here I am, with my very own step-by-step tutorial. Yippee! Now go get your crafty caps on and let’s make a headband! Continue reading “HOW TO MAKE A BEAN SPROUT HEADBAND”
For some strange reason, every time a K-Pop concert is announced for Chicago, I’m overcome by a strange urge to unleash my crafty side and this time is no exception. I’m not really sure why, but knowing one of my beloved K-Pop bands will soon be wandering the streets of my own city makes me so happy, I just have to express that joy through crafts. (Don’t ask me why, it’s just how my strange, zombie-gnawed brain works.) However, this time , rather than invest a ridiculous amount of time, money and energy on a quilt that I will mostly likely spend the rest of my life agonizing over whether or not a certain idol received said quilt on his birthday… *cough*Himchan*cough* I’ve decided to focus my creative energy on something more for the fans. Though, if you think about it, this little idea of mine would be a great way to show B1A4 just how much their U.S. BANAs love them. Hmmm… I’m beginning to get an idea… Continue reading “BANAs and Bean Sprouts: Let’s Show B1A4 Some Love!”
I know I wasn’t the closest you could get but here’s my pictures from Saturday night’s concert, just the same. If nothing else, at least you’ll get a glimpse of what it was like to see so many amazing artists in the same night. It was a fangirl’s dream come true! Continue reading “FROM B1A4 TO VIXX: KCON 2014 in Pictures, Part 2 – Saturday Night’s Concert”
Saturday. D-Day. KCON Day 1. Whatever you want to call it, I woke up the next morning with a stomach full of butterflies, more nervous than I had ever been before in my entire life. Looking back, I’m not even sure why I was such a nervous wreck but I was. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that I had psyched myself out so much over KCON that I was afraid I was going to be disappointed at the end of it all. (Thank goodness I was totally wrong on that score!) Too nervous to eat, drink, or do pretty much anything else, I got up, donned my VIXX G.R.8.U. cosplay costume (with all the checkers) and spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what to do with my hair. (Which ended up being not much because my hands were too shaky to handle anything but the most basic tasks.) At least I wasn’t alone in my suffering, Tanya was every bit as jittery as I was and we were in such an awful state that we rushed out of the hotel without grabbing breakfast or (gasp!) even coffee. (A mistake we would come to regret all. day. long.) Continue reading “FROM CHICAGO TO KCON: ZOMBIE’S ADVENTURES IN L.A. – DAY 4”
Yes BANAs, you read that right! During their performance at KCON this past weekend, B1A4 announced they would be kicking off a world tour later this month, starting in Taiwan and moving on to Shanghai, Manila, Melbourne and Sydney before finally reaching the U.S. in early October. The “2014 B1A4 Road Trip” tour is scheduled to make stops in four U.S. cities including New York, Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco which means BANAs from all over the country should be able to find a concert near-ish them, to attend. (And yes, I realize there are gaping holes in this four-stop tour but it’s a whole lot better than the typical two-stop “tours” most K-Pop groups make so I won’t complain.) Venues and ticket sales have also been announced and are as follows: Continue reading “B1A4’s ROAD TRIPPIN’ ACROSS THE U.S.”
