Heechul and Sulli look like the perfect yin-and-yang couple in a chic selca



Super Junior's Heechul and f(x)'s Sulli put on their poker faces in a chic selca!


Heechul shared on his Instagram, "Sulli, who I love and adore most in this world, is Jinri. Choi Jinri~. We were going to take a photo of us holding hands at Gimpo Airport, but our schedules didn't match up so we couldn't take it. So we decided to watch out for each other at Tokyo Dome. Sulli is one of the two women I know with perfect complexion. Who do you think the other person is?"

Heechul and Sulli looked like the perfect yin-and-yang couple with their black and white tops. They also pursed their lips with attitude to show fans a little charisma.

Fans commented, "Sulli is so beautiful", "Beautiful Heechul and your little sister", and "Is it Taeyeon?" 




Super Junior's Siwon sports a rugged look for the cover of 'Arena Homme Plus'



Super Junior's Siwon caught eyes with his rugged transformation for the cover of 'Arena Homme Plus'!


Siwon looked like a businessman with edge, enjoying his morning coffee on the streets, and some facial hair to complete his rugged look. 

He showed that he not only matured on the outside but on the inside as well as he shared, "Although there wasn't any special happening, I was able to clear up various thoughts this year. I have a lot to be thankful for. If you can't think of anything to be thankful for, it means you have become someone with too much greed."

Do you like Siwon's rugged look?







[Album Review] SHINee 'Everybody'




SHINee 'Everybody'

There are few - if any- pop groups, Korean or not, that can touch or even come close to SHINee's technical abilities. With what are widely regarded as some of the best live vocals and some of the most challenging and most perfectly executed live choreography in the business, they really are on another level when it comes to professionalism and showmanship. Listening to a SHINee album or watching one of their performances is like going to a ballet- technical perfection is the aim, you know exactly what you're coming into, but there's still always that WOW factor of "I can't believe humans are capable of doing that."




That said, SHINee is a pop group. As high as their skill level is, they run the risk of appearing cold or distant by being too unattainably perfect at what they do. We saw this issue with Part I of the 'Dream Girl' albums- the package was airtight, but the product felt a little too sterile. Part II successfully warmed things up by taking darker, grittier, and more sentimental turns, bringing us skill + personality, which is a killer combo for SHINee.

While the entirety of 'Everybody' is a showcase of all-around technical brilliance, it feels like a bit of a step backwards from 'Dream Girl: Part II'- it's almost too perfect and robotic. This is a tough critique to give, because how do you tell someone that they're too good? It sounds like a sappy it's-not-you-it's-me break-up line. The problem here, however, isn't that the skill level is too high, but that the material lacks personality. SHINee and their songwriters need to make sure to include and promote songs on their albums that have character and personality and life to them so that SHINee doesn't come off as unrelatable and cold as the mechanical dancing machines they portray in their video.

PS - I watched Key and Eunji on 'We Got Married' - can someone please give them a show to host together? They're hilarious!
