A Look at Fanfiction: Video Games, K-Pop and More…

There are a variety of ways to create a fanfic, however one of the most interesting ways that has recently become popular is for a single fan can take on the identity of a character/figure and act as if he or she is that figure in real life. - nolannabi, kpopkollective writer

If you’re a part of a fandom whether it’s a game, book series or artist, Fanfiction is definitely a part of it. After taking a look at articles written about fanfiction, I decided to write my own. Just for a moment, I would like to concentrate on a few categories of fanfiction that I don’t see focused enough in fanfiction articles: Anime, K-Pop and Video Games.

Journey to Music Bank Paris

Previously last year, I went to SM Town Paris and thought I would never go back for another concert. Seeing that 2PM and UKISS were going to perform at Music Bank urged me to go. Two groups I would never see in Europe.

K-Pop: A new force in the UK

(This article is what I wrote for my Journalism assignment. Some of my friends and followers wanted me to upload it so here it is! It’s supposed to be non-bias yet catchy to the reader, enjoy!)

The UK is in for a big surprise with a new trend spreading to the West. And it’s called K-Pop.

By Nyasha Oliver

Take a minute to think about your first impression of South Korea. How would you describe it? What about the music? If anything, it’s not all traditional as people would think it is. In fact, there is a growing trend in the UK called “K-Pop.”

Korean Celebrities in the UK [2011]

cr: ohgelie

UK K-Pop fans have experienced meeting more idols than I have ever expected to see this year. 2011 has seen the likes of many Korean celebrities from Rain to SHINee come from events, concerts or sightings in our country. No-one could have missed the chance to see any one of these artists, could they?

(In case anyone wants to know, I am an admin of Unitedkpop and posted the article there as well)

SM Town Live in Paris ~June 10th 2011~

Part 1:

Part 2:

Here are the videos I uploaded with the performances and pictures on here. Hope you enjoy and watch a lot so the views go up a lot!

Note: I didn’t record every performance because even though I had two memory cards, my battery was running out. There is more information on the concert below.

Best & Worst of 2010: End of Year Review

Got to say in terms of 2010, it’s been a pretty tiresome year. J-Pop has made me realise some things that I never knew before – in a negative way. K-Pop has just upset me so much despite comebacks of my favourites and news that depressed me. It’s not all been so bad but…I had kind of hoped from all the artists that came back (e.g. Queens of J-Pop were present this year, BoA and Se7en who have been seen for years) that they would have a bigger success than usual.

Se7en is safe, SHINee is in trouble

By the way…I know I’m posting WAY too much K-Pop these days, I will try to find other games, j-pop and anime to talk about, I promise.

This week, Se7en and SHINee released their MV’s. Now, the thing I’ve noticed over the past week is that SHINee (for the first time) is starting to get antis due to their concept pictures and Lucifer MV compared to Se7en who is getting high praises for his mini album especially his choice of title track and collaboration song with T.O.P.

Let’s see why…

Happy Birthday Tae! ^_^

The amount of continuous comments that Taemin’s 16th birthday post got last year was scary in my opinion. Man, I have never seen so many comments for love on Taemin. I mean I know I love him, he’s my age but only 9 days younger than me but there are still comments on my post last year about his birthday.

Anyways, let’s all celebrate Taemin’s 17th birthday (18 in Korean Age) today! ^_^ Ah, if only he was born on the 9th….

Before I will provide you with more pictures that I love for you Taemints to save.

(July) Birthday Month Updates!

Whooooo! July is coming and when it hits 9th, I’ll turn 17 (18 in Korean Age). So I thought after re-reading my post for Last four months of 2009, my prediction was almost right (I got 10/14 artists right! ^_^) and I thought about during one for July for both J-Pop and K-Pop. (Done in alphabetical order).

Influenced hairstlyes repeated!

Just had to point this out before I write my J-Pop entry next.

Have you noticed? Everyone is being influenced by Yoochun’s hairstyles.
Can you see the similarities?
