One Zombie, Sharing Her Love of all Things Hallyu With The World
I’m way too much of a Starlight to pass up the chance to promote my favorite band, so when VIXX made their comeback this week with “Error” there was no way in the world this song wasn’t going to be featured as my Tune of the Week. Continue reading “TUNE OF THE WEEK: VIXX “ERROR””
So I got a little carried away screencapping while I was working on my latest VIXX squee post and I ended up with a whole bunch of lovely pictures I just didn’t have room to use (sad, I know) so I’ve decided to just put them all here and let you enjoy them at your leisure. Aren’t I nice? (haha) Sorry I don’t have an equal number of shots per member but ya know, not all members are given the same amount of screen-time in the video so what can I do? Just enjoy what I have and know that I really do love each member of VIXX (almost) equally. Ha! (See what happens when you ultimate bias ends up in your ultimate bias group?) Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL! I’VE GOT VIXX ON THE BRAIN!”
I’m not even going to try to pretend to be calm in this post, there’s just no way I can. VIXX released the video for “Error” earlier today and OH HOLY FLIP, SOMEONE HOLD ME, I THINK I’M DYING! Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL!: HOLY FLIP, VIXX IS BACK!”
OH HAPPY AND MOST GLORIOUS OF DAYS! VIXX TV is back with a brand new season and well, you know me… I just couldn’t let this most momentous of occasions go by without saying something! Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL! VIXX TV IS BACK!”
It’s no secret that I am a devout Starlight. I’ve spazzed enough on this blog to make it perfectly clear that, as much as I love all K-Pop bands (and I really do love them all, to one degree or another), VIXX holds a special place in my heart. They are an infinite source of inspiration and motivation for me, as I drag myself through the mundane of my every day and above all, they are the sunshine that brightens my occasionally dreary world. In short, they make my heart happy but not always… Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL! My Soul Has Been Revived”
Okay, so I have so many pictures that I took during KCON and I hate the idea of them just sitting on my computer when they could be shared with the world, so I’ve decided to upload some of them and let you enjoy them as you will. Now please keep in mind that all of these pics were taken with my phone (because KCON had super strict rules on cameras and there was no way I was going to risk being kicked out over something a small as a camera) and there are some that aren’t nearly as good as others but I did the best I could and I figure that you’ll appreciate my effort, if nothing else. Feel free to help yourself to whatever pics you love, I’m not going to bother watermarking them all as I literally have thousands and that’s just too much work for any one zombie. I figure if you love them, you can have them. It’s my gift to the fangirls the world over who may never get the chance to see their biases in person. (I feel that pain, I really do.) If you feel the need to share them with the world (and I really don’t think they’re all that great but maybe I’m wrong) a little credit would be nice but more than anything, just enjoy them. Continue reading “FROM B1A4 TO VIXX: KCON 2014 in Pictures, Part 1- VIXX Fan Engagement”
As many of you already know, VIXX is headed to L.A. in just a few short weeks, to participate in KCON, North America’s largest convention dedicated to “All Things Hallyu” and to celebrate, I’ve decided to share with you six reasons why you should be just as happy about VIXX’s appearance as I.
1. N’s Sidelong Glance
It’s no secret that N is the master of the sidelong glance and while it’s one thing to experience this lethal look through the wonders of YouTube, it’s quite another thing to experience this look in real life. The very idea of seeing it in person is enough to make even the most phlegmatic fangirl weak in the knees (or maybe that’s just me…) so seeing it in real-life may actually prove fatal but I’m sure every Starlight would agree, it’s a risk we’re willing to take.
2. Hongbin’s Dimples
It is a fact, universally acknowledged, that dimples are adorable and those lucky enough to possess them are immediately irresistible to those around them. That being the case, it stands to reason that when a member of a K-Pop band is not only unimaginably good-looking but also possesses the world’s most swoon worthy dimples, it’s hard to believe that person is real which is why, in the case of Hongbin, seeing will be believing. Only after seeing Hongbin in person will I be able to accept that such perfection does, in fact, exist and I may never be the same again…
(And for those of you who might be wondering who’s in this video with Hongbin, it’s B1A4’s Gongchan who, coincidentally, will also be at KCON. Hooray!)
3. Leo Embarrassed
Known as the cold, chic member of the group, Leo has a tendency to come across a bit strong (especially when he’s giving one of his band-mates one of his death stares) but there’s another side to Leo that is so ridiculously adorable, you can’t help but love him. And what is this adorable side, you ask. Well, aside from the fact that he loves children and animals and every time he cuddles one or the other you find yourself melting into a puddle of fangirl goo, there’s the fact that Leo gets incredibly embarrassed on-stage and his entire tough-guy persona dissolves in seconds. While there may not be a chance to watch Leo cuddle babies during KCON there’s a good chance we’ll be able to see him try to hide behind a fellow band member after saying something that he finds embarrassing and that, my friends, will be worth the price of admission, right there! (That and the fact he has the voice of an angel…)
4. Ravi’s Voice
We all know Ravi is the rapper of the group and as such, you may have overlooked the fact that Ravi has an amazing voice and I’m not talking about just when he’s performing. Deep, rich and soothing, Ravi’s voice is one that you could listen to for hours as you let the world dissolve into nothingness around you which might be just what you need at KCON, especially if you’re stuck next to one of those people who constantly jumps on your toes during the concerts and never bothers to apologize. Just remember to focus on Ravi’s voice and breathe (if that’s even possible with VIXX on-stage).
5. Ken’s Dorkiness
When it comes to loveable dorks, Ken has to be the master. There’s something irresistibly adorable about the way Ken can combine his aegyo and his dorkiness to make you think he’s a total goob and then turn around and knock you off your feet with his incredible voice. With such a unique combination of character and talent, you can be sure Ken is going to make you laugh and probably steal your heart, all at the same time.
(And now you’ll probably never be able to hear the word “ottokaji” without singing this song.)
6. Hyuk’s Amazing Transformation
Hyuk may be the maknae of the group but that doesn’t mean he’s a baby. On the contrary, in the past two years Hyuk has managed to transform from adorable high school student to one of the manliest maknae’s you’ve ever seen. How did he pull off this amazing transformation? I have no idea but perhaps if we see him in person, we can unravel this mystery together…
Of course it goes without saying that, more than anything, the reason you should be looking forward to seeing VIXX at KCON is because they’re an incredibly talented group who are sure to deliver a fantastic performance but it’s fun to come up with other reasons, just because I can. Naturally, now that I’ve shared six reasons why you should be looking forward to seeing VIXX at KCON, I want to hear yours. What are you most looking forward to seeing in person? Which songs would you like to see them perform? Which member is your favorite? I want to know it all so be sure to leave me a comment below! (Oh, and if you’re headed to KCON, I’ll see you there! 19 days and counting!!!)
Yup, you read that right! VIXX IS COMING TO KCON 2014! Last night during KCON’s weekly #KCONLiveChat, our friendly LiveChat moderators, Hoon and Vanessa, announced that VIXX has joined the slowly growing number of artists that will be attending KCON 2014 this August, in Los Angeles, California and I’m so flipping excited, I just had to take a moment and share my joy with the world. Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL! VIXX IS COMING TO KCON 2014!!!”
Six months after the release of their first full-length album, Voodoo, VIXX is back with their fourth EP, Eternity and being the devoted St☆rlight that I am, I just had to make the title track, “Eternity” this week’s featured tune.
I can’t believe updates for VIXX’s comeback have been out for days and I’m only just now getting around to squeeing about them! *facepalm* And I call myself a fangirl… Continue reading “RELEASE THE FANGIRL! VIXX 2nd Anniversary and Comeback”
