Remember back in the days...

DIARY OF A K-POP LOVER

[I'm still one, but my diary was incorporated into my Tumblr. Check the links. :)]

Enough said.

My header explains everything: i love every single breathing being in those pictures.
But my heart is mostly green: i'm a TripleS to the core.

I officially don't roleplay anymore, but you can check the links if you wanna take a look at my work.

This is all. Take whatever comes. And you can never be sure of what that is.
Love Ya, Menu ah

Even though it doesn't fit perfectly, i love it too much to replace it.]

My favorite word is SS501. It's the biggest stronghold of my life.


20120101

Menu's 2011 K-Pop Chart


In case you didn't read my other two charts, i only count the songs i really got obsessed with. It's hard enough this way. XD
Also, since i made a mid-year chart this year i left some of the comments i wrote in June, unless of course i changed my mind.


60. Please - Kim Hyun Joong (it's in the chart because it's Leader but i really can't find this song appealing)
59. Cry - MBLAQ 
58. Stay - MBLAQ (Idk why, as much as i like them, they're always on bottom of my chart)
57. Heaven - Kim Hyung Jun 
56. Oh! Ah! - Kim Hyung Jun (Pretty catchy with an awesome choreo.)
55. Love Song - Big Bang (It's not a secret i didn't like Big Bang's new album, but the repackaged edition or whatever we wanna call it had non-electronic songs that were actually pretty awesome.)
54. Only Learned the Bad Things - B1A4
53. Forever - Park Bo Ram
52. Hello Hello - F.T. Island
51. I must confess - F.T. Island (Written and composed by Jong Hoon. If you read the lyrics you'll realize it's the perfect song to be dedicated to a fandom. Because it's true no matter what idols do, when they feel apologetic we never blame them.)
50. Girls - Kim Hyung Jun (Though TripleS know this song since last year, it was officially released before Baby's comeback so i put it in the chart.)
49. Let It Go - Heo Young Saeng (Park Ju Ju, happy new year! :D)
48. Dreaming - Kim Soo Hyun (Kim Soo Hyun is Sam Dong bb. XD)
47. Black and White - G.Na
46. Lucky Guy - Kim Hyun Joong
45. Freeze - Bitwost (I don't care if you believe Simon invented the Bitwost thing. I've been calling them like that since Shock days. My iPod doesn't know B2ST, but knows "BiTWOst xD" and same goes for my folder of pics. Btw, what's batoost? It's Bitwost for a reason. Because it's B-2-ST. And i understand Simon says B-twost which sounds like batoost, but objectively batoost means nothing. Stop ruining my inventions, dammit.)
44. Break Down - Kim Hyun Joong
43. Here I Am - ZE:A
42. You and I - Boyfriend
41. I'm Broken - Heo Young Saeng (Let It Go had to grow on me, but I'm Broken was an immediate love so it comes first. Also, it was my blog background music for months and months.)
40. Don't touch my girl - Boyfriend
39. Sunshine Girl - F.T. Island
38. Do You Like That - Kim Hyun Joong
37. OK - B1A4 (Bilasa. Read "Bitwost".)
36. Beautiful Target - B1A4
35. Bling Girl - B1A4
34. Boyfriend - Boyfriend (Omg every time i hear this word i'm all 'Boyfrieeeend ah ah ah, nanana boyfrieeeeend'...and whatever comes next 'cause i don't know the lyrics.)
33. Though I Call - Bitwost
32. Do You Know? - Park Jung Min
31. Halo - Block B
30. Lonely - 2NE1
29. Hands Up - 2PM
28. F(x) - Pinocchio (i didn't even like it when it came out)
27. Mona Lisa - MBLAQ (finally they're not on bottom. ><)
26. Paradise - Infinite (Yogi isseo teo teo *.*)
25. Be Mine - Infinite (Oh summer *.*)
24. Fiction - Bitwost
23. Why - DBSK (This song is special 'cause it made me consider DBSK. Before this, probably because of the bad relationship i've historically had with Cassies, i've never really got into DBSK. Then i met some fans who are actually normal people and i found a connection with Changmin and so on. Btw, a lot complained 'cause Why is weird. Well, that's exactly why i like it. Without originality the world would get a copy of itself. You're not thinking 4th dimensionally.)
22. Shy Boy - Secret (judge me all you want. Idec. I would even place it higher if it wasn't because Infinite is my 2011. XD)
21. Before the Dawn - Infinite (Though i still don't know their names, i've liked their songs since their debut up until now. No exceptions. <- Keeping this comment because it was another life. XD)
20. Golden Lady - Lim Jeong Hee (Golden Lady is a brand of stockings here....)
19. White Love - Seungri (Again, despite me not liking his album, this song was the very one i loved and it turned into such an obsession that made up for the rest of the record. I listen to it now and i still love it like the first time.)
18. If the night ends - Kim Hyung Jun
17. Like Birds - FTI
16. Dream High - IU, Eunjung, Suzy, Taecyeon, Wooyoung&Kim Soo Hyun (It still gives me the memories and the atmosphere of the drama. Just unforgettable.)
15. Tell your friends - Block B
14. What is right - Big Bang
13. 0330 - U-Kiss (If it didn't hold the bad memories of the pre-comeback, it would be even more amazing.)
12. Someday - U-Kiss (the lyrics give it a few more points)
11. Mr Simple - SuJu
10. Walkin' - SuJu
09. Good Day - IU (this high because i liked it for months without even knowing whose this was) 
08. Even your tears - FTI
07. That person in Shinsadong - FTI
06. Nothing's Over - Infinite 
05. Can You Smile? - Infinite (it could be a tie with FTI but FTI's songs are not actually FTI's so Infinite is a step higher....Look, i have to give myself reasons or i won't ever get out of here.)
04. Not Alone - Park Jung Min (I wrote a long ass post about how this song can be relevant to so many people. Only 3 people read that. I'm disappointed. But anyway, it really is a sort of social human song and it helped me a lot. And i love that it did for me what its singer did one year before, just the same way. I'm sorry it didn't win anything, but hopefully it will be recognized at the end of the year. Or it will just be another Love Ya. Anyway i'm proud this song comes from my ultimate bias.)
03. Ugly - 2NE1 (like i said a few days ago, no song gives me the energy this song gives me. No matter how down i felt, i found strength in this sound.)
02. Fly So High - U-Cube
01. Superman - SuJu (I don't need to explain, right? Well, if i do let me know. Shortly: the lyrics, the sound, the moment when it came out, the choreo.)



BEST BALLAD
1. That person in Shinsadong - FTI
2. Infinite - Amazing (can it be considered a ballad?)
3. 0330 - U-Kiss

BEST RAP
1. Fiction - Bitwost (Junhyung. You need to stop saying he's a copycat. If you can't grasp the personality this guy puts into his rapping then get out of here. We don't need you.)
2. Dream High - Taecyeon 
3. Let It Go - Heo Young Saeng (Hyuna/Park Ju Hyun. Park Ju Ju is pretty good at rapping too, apparently. And i feel like this song wouldn't have the same feeling without this rap.)
3*. Nothing's Over - Dongwoo&Hoya (* means it's a tie. Or if you prefer, first and second half of the year's best rap.)

BEST COMEBACK
1. Park Jung Min
2. SuJu (It was a crossroad for them and they marked it.)
3. Big Bang (It was history and i'm glad i was there because for a moment i felt like a VIP again.)

BEST CONCEPT
1. Infinite (Paradise, if i have to pick one)
2. Park Jung Min
3. B1A4 (Because i mean, come on. Beautiful Target live stages were the best. XD)

BEST MV
1. Not Alone - Park Jung Min 
2. Infinite - Paradise (I know it was actually criticized but it's one of the few videos i actually got immediately. I can't explain how. I just figured it out.)
3. Fiction - Bitwost

BEST OST
1. Dream High
2. If the night ends - Kim Hyung Jun (Lie To Me)
3. Forever - Park Bo Ram (49 Days)

BEST ALBUM
1. Infinite, Over the Top/Paradise (i wanted to put Amazing and Sunggyu's solo and the bonus track in the chart, then i realized i even bought the actual album because i told myself i've never liked a kpop album as completely as this one...)
2. Bitwost, Fiction&Fact
3. F.T. Island, Memory in F.T. Island

BEST CHOREO
1. Paradise (it made me love the song a thousand times more)
2. Fiction (unforgettable Penguin Dance)
3. Break Down (though the idea of Leader's thoughts when he first saw that is hilarious XD)


BEST ROOKIES
1. Block B
2. B1A4
3. Boyfriend
(These are more like my favorite. Then there are a couple of groups who are objectively a little better but since i haven't "studied" them properly yet i didn't find it appropriate to list them.)

WTF MOMENTS
1. Xander and Kibum leaving U-Kiss, it came completely out of the blue and the reactions upset me. I found pretty fake the fact people could forget so easily and above all forced people to move on. I'm glad things are quieter now, but despite i'm starting to really and honestly appreciate Hoon and AJ, when i see U-Kiss i still see a hole. And i wonder if that hole will ever disappear.
2. Hyun Joong saying SS501's comeback might be impossible. And i'm not gonna say anything else. Mostly because it's past and also because my fandom is not so peaceful about it yet.
3. GD being accused of smoking weed. Not because i didn't expect it, but because i have my ideas about drugs, whether they're light or not. And i remember i was so so so disappointed back then...Well, you all know. I refused to talk about him for weeks. XD

BEST MOMENTS
1. infinite's first win
2. Big Bang's EMA
3.  I don't have a third one that matches so i'm just gonna say 20110901 because for good or ill it's a day that holds my whole year for reasons this post is not meant to explain.

And another productive fangirling year is behind us. See you in six months, i bet. :D As usual, thanks for reading.
