Yeah, it didn't look like a genuinely spontaneous moment. Having said that, just the look on LuAnn's face seals this for me. I can't wait to watch! The only thing that would make this better is if somebody picked up the leg and tried to hit another HW with it.

lol. LMAO! Dujun's face is so not amused. Still, there are worse things in life than kissing Junhyung and Dongwoon on the cheek. At least he followed through! This is what I mean about Beast having a very good-natured rapport. You can see it when he finally ponies up for the kisses. Junhyung's hair is SO much better but those Mall Meemaw earrings have got to go! He looks like a 50-year old woman with them. Comeback is not quite over for Beast: http://onehallyu.com/index.php?/topic/84853-beast-to-put-on-special-performance-for-fans-in-celebration-of-11-music-show-wins-during-%E2%80%9Cgood-luck%E2%80%9D-promotions/ On the latest broadcast of SBS’ “Inkigayo” on July 13, BEAST took home their 11th first place trophy with their title song “Good Luck.” BEAST has been put into the spotlight as being a group that is hard to find in the music industry these days, after sweeping music show wins for the past month. Ahead of their comeback, BEAST put out a pre-release ballad track “No More,” with which they received first place, setting an record for three number one pre-release tracks in a row. Then, they took charge of the top spot on every music program after ranking high on music charts, even recording an exceptional perfect score more than once. Also, BEAST earned a triple crown on KBS’ “Music Bank,” and won first for four consecutive weeks on MBC’s “Show! Music Core,” proving their immense popularity. In order to thank fans for their love and support in achieving 11 music show wins, BEAST has prepared a gift for fans in the form of a special stage, where they will be performing the Korean version of “Sad Movie.” This track was originally released as a Japanese track and is said to have ranked high on the Oricon chart for a long time. You can look forward to the special performance of “Sad Movie,” set to be revealed on music shows during the third week of July. Cr:soompi

That Born II Beat poster, damn.. they all look deeply hot! Come back soon, BtoB (and thank god it doesn't stand for "boy 2 boy." Some of these K Pop bands have really random English-language acronyms). I listened to Junho's mini album. It's pretty decent. I like Feel and Dangerous best but No No No isn't bad either. Some of the song titles are in Japanese -- is this a Japanese release? Junho and 2PM must be big over there.

Am going to respond to your post in just a bit, but first... BEAST got the triple crown on Music Bank --- three weeks in a row. They really are a powerhouse machine. No waonder BtoB doesn't want to go up against them comeback-to-comeback! http://youtu.be/xijMi0DsHd8 And I am also posting this because what in the fanservicing hell?

For real. That face is everything (in more ways than one -- his looks and ever-evolving style completely fascinate me). For the guy who probably does the absolute least out of all of EXO (singing-wise) to essentially become its diva queen with no more [!@#$%^&*] to give? I just love it. I personally think his nose job took him from 'very cute' to 'insanely hot.' He is literally undressing us with his eyes in that first pic. For those interested, here he talks about the inspiration of some of his and Big Bang's hits: http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/13628181.html#comments#comments As somebody just getting into BB (I know more Taeyang solo songs then I do BB!), it made me want to check out some of these. Woah, Dongwoon. Either he had some major double-eyelid surgery, or it is a signature genetic trait of Dongwoon's family... or DW's mom isn't telling something. I could have sworn he was half-American because he is quite tall as well. Rumor alert: Yoseob has been spending some alone time in the recording studio recently. His fans are hoping this might mean another solo song in the offing? I am so glad you brought up BTOB (does that stand for "boy to boy"? Please say it doesn't) because I was thinking about them this week and wondering what they have been up to. No news about them on Omona and other sites, made me wonder if they are preparing another comeback. Glad to see they are still performing, I really like what I've heard of their stuff. Peniel slipping in the rain and the rest of the group unable to hold it together is He looks like he is in on the joke as well. Will get to Junho's PG-rated MV very soon! And yes, Japanese sounds really beautiful when spoken IMO.

Forgive me for spamming this thread with Tumblr. Time to bow down to this flawless queen of EPIC BITCHFACEDNESS: What the hell kind of underpants is Luhan wearing on his head... OH GOD IT'S A BANDANA. I feel ya, Sehun. Sehun clearly thinking Bye, Kai, you moron. Highly unamused. Over this already. Throw a sassy head toss in there, gurl. Gurl...

Woo hoo hoo hoo-hooo! Thunduh, thunduh, thunduh! Yeah, I'm totally listening to that on my way home tonight. Kai's mad scientist hair looks like it is about to quit him (hence prob why he went back to brown) but he is still giving me the feels when he does the body rolls in Thunder. As is Dongwoon (I almost typed Dongwoo) in that Twitter picture. What is with all these brutally hot maknae in K Pop? BTW, is he half-Korean and half-western? He looks like he might have western ancestry. I like his hair both ways, but the short and tousled look does look good. Maybe everybody in Beast changed their hair this weekend. Has your boy Junhyung been sighted yet?

LOL, you watched? Yeah, I spent a lazy Sunday afternoon watching it too. I am committed! It was fun, especially Baekhyun having to drink all that bitter gourd juice. And the cheerleading positions they had to get into. Hope Chen and D.O. weren't too hurt! EXO-M slayed with their Overdose performance. I thought Luhan did really well. Moonlight OTOH (which is probably my fave EXO ballad, along with What is Love and Love,Love,Love), woah. Chen's voice was strained after all the concerts. The dancing was pretty good, though. And Sehun was looking especialy fly. I would love to see them dance to Thunder. Another song I really rate. Your group is killing the competition! I am telling you, Beast are like Take That or Backstreet Boys in their heyday -- universally beloved by the public. I agree about Dujun. The blonde was good on him, and the dark all of a sudden makes his face look a bit hard. I am feeling that way a bit about Kai's return to dark hair, too. I wanted it so badly because his blonde hair was starting to look a mess, but now I am sort of missing the blonde as it was very dramatic. I do like Dongwoon's pink hair, though (and I'm not usually a fan of all the colors of the rainbow hair). I also like Junhyeung's brown locks (when he doesn't have a [!@#$%^&*] bandana tied through them). Speaking of blondes, I thought Suho in the 2013 episode of Happy Camp (during the Wolf era) was SO hot in his short dark hair and leather jacket. His face is crazy beautiful! That's why I wish he'd go back to dark, because somehow the blonde overshadows his face.

EXO were on Happy Camp in China again this year, and it finally aired. I won't post the whole thing because, hello, 1.5 hours. And last year's Happy Camp with them was funnier (mainly because it had Kris and Tao). But here is a hilarious promo for the show (including Sehun swallowing his Coke and trying not to cough it up again. I swear, this whole promo is like 'two gay couples have dinner at a house in the Hamptons'). Here is another promo with Luhan looking like a serial killer. And finally, here is the segment where EXO talk about "the member of EXO-M who left" -- they didn't dare call him by name (cc captions on YouTube).

No, I get that soothing voice thing. Sometimes I listen to Moonlight (the EXO-K version) and drift off to D.O. and Baekhyun. I mean that in the best possible way because I love their voices. It's been a slow-ish couple of das on the K Pop front. The Park Bom drama fizzled as quickly as it came (hope she is ok, though). So, here are a couple of photos from the last day or so: Hyunseung looking 1,000 times better in specs: Burn that bandana, boy! Kai went back to dark! The Albert Einstein is no more (taken from yesterday's Chengdu concert): Finally, Sehun and Tao giving me major feels at one point before the "mirror segment" of the same concert. Apparently, hand-holding is not part of the usual routine for this sequence.

You know, I've not yet forgiven Yolanda for trying to drag the Empress and pretend that Ken had physically assaulted her. Having said that, girl looks so on point with her hair like that. Kyle's overpriced white yoga pants are atrocious. And so is her hasty backtracking.

I believe the rumor about Adrienne, and definitely Camille. They will prob be Friends of the HWs. Bravo is desperate to preserve the franchise, and these two ladies are rich and lead glamorous lives. And they have unfinished business with the other HWs. I heard TayShana is filming with them, too. What's interesting is that thus far I haven't really heard a peep out of Brandi. Maybe that was a condition of Lisa's return and her position (Brandi's) is now in flux on the show? At this point, you might say that Lisa has a bigger beef with Brandi than she had even with Adrienne.

I have to listen to both the Daesung and Junho singles that you posted, but I am really looking forward to them. For some reason, I am imagining upbeat, boppy pop for Junho's solo effort and kind of old skool ballad-crooning for Daesung's! Also, not going to lie, as far as flip-flops go, those yellow ones are pretty nice. Well, the Bom scandal appears to be receding. Head of YG made an unprecedented statement saying that Bom was cleared and that the issue was to do with a prescription she had for anxiety when she lived in the States. She continued that prescription when she returned to SK but had to have the medication imported because SK does not produce pharamaceuticals that include amphetamines. Apparently, before she was a singer, Bom was an ace soccer player who went to the US with hopes of making a career. She stopped playing soccer, though, when she saw one of her best friends die in front of her (can't remember if this was on the soccer field or not), and that's when the anxiety attacks happened. And that's why she is on medication, and generally very shy and fragile-like. And likely why the head of YG made the statement and not her because she was probably a wreck with the news coming out. The sad thing is, there may still be people out there who think, oh, Park Bom, drug smuggler, without knowing that all this stuff has been cleared up. Poor Bom. I think I love her even more now. Yoseob in your siggie, lol. It's just so cute the way he's bopping while singing. Dongwoo is all "Uh, what?" before bowing to somebody, lol.

OK, so I have to ask: would you say that Yoseob is the slightly campy one/fantabulous diva in Beast? Because that's the vibe I got when they were on Inkigayo last week, and from your gifs here (especially the first one). Also, he is the best dresser of the group (not that means anything but...). On Omonatheydidnt, Beast goes by "Omona's favourite group" because they are so beloved. It's easy to see why. First, their music is very accessible. They all seem like very personable guys. They were rejected by other groups but got a second chance together, so they started off as the plucky underdogs everybody could root for. They are cute. More than anything, they give off a very happy, united vibe. No angst, no signs of over-exhaustion, or of dislike of other members (naming no names, but other groups are not always this harmonious and it shows). Also: their fanbase is not deeply divided or super-crazy (again, naming no names!). After the Taeyang v Beast v Taeyang thing a week ago, looks like the fans quietly decided to rectify that injustice on this Friday's Music Bank. I used to think that about certain stars but now it seems so prevalent that I expect it as par for the course. Plus, even before I knew much about Park Bom, I could tell that she had had an enormous amount of surgery for somebody so young. That told me that she was very self-conscious and fragile about her looks, that she must have hated herself when she was younger. I can't fault her with wanting to change her life completely in order to become an idol. It's not a perfect life, but it is a pretty sweet gig. OMG>>> BREAKING NEWS! http://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/06/breaking-2ne1s-park-bom-revealed-to-have-attempted-to-smuggle-drugs http://onehallyu.com/index.php?/topic/81301-breaking-2ne1s-park-bom-revealed-to-have-attempted-to-smuggle-drugs/ Damn, Bom, meth? I know drugs are rife in the music industry (yes, even in squeaky clean K pop!) but I am legit shocked. Over at OneHallyu, certain posters keep mentioned G Dragon's 2011 drug scandal that got hastily forgotten, and maybe there are some links between Bom and G-D?! They also say that G-D was forgiven his drug scandal because he is a guy and "oppa didn't mean it" (the standard mantra of crazy k-pop fangirls everywhere). But because Bom is a woman, this will be much harder to "forgive" and her career could be greatly harmed. SK has pretty much a no-tolerance attitude to drugs generally.

^^ He fills out a suit well. Everywhere. Cheap, I don't know if you heard but on yesterday's Music Core countdown, Beast whipped ASS and literally got a flawless record score For Good Luck -- the highest score of all time on the show. http://youtu.be/blaaxvpTZqU And here is CL looking flawless at an AON press conference in Singapore.

That shot of him in the pink sweater, where he is being groped by those women. His legs! UNFFFFFFFFF. Even at 5'3, he could still get it. YRBB, you should watch the Wonder Live videos posted on this page and FF to the parts where he takes questions from the audience (with CC captioning, unless you understand Korean). You will fall in love with him more. He has swagger but he is very sweet and self-deprecating with his audience. And, of course, singing, walking, talking, in motion....

OMG! lol But you can see how I thought Dujun was T.O.P.: I think they look alike in these shots. Does Dujun usually wear glasses offstage? I watched part of the Beast Showtime first episode and hyung Dujun was in specs driving around Seoul looking for the other Beast members. Bom pre-knife... she looks so different. She must have felt very self-conscious about herself to have plastic surgery. I think she looks better now but it is kind of obvious surgery. I also think the wigs and make-up really change her appearance drastically so maybe she hasn't had as much work done as we think (except the nose, and some botox and fillers). The Many Hairstyles of Sehun... jeez, his locks must be fried by now. I loved his recent slicked back brown hair and his latest naturally-floppy hair too. His blonde era late last year was also hot. Not crazy about the rainbow hair. Xiumin is SO overshadowed in EXO, it is not even funny. It's because he is little and quiet and used to look like a hamster, but he is quietly coming into his own.

Shannon is cray but Miss Holistic is not drunk-cray. I think she puts on the drinking thing a little. Not denying the issues in her marriage, or the impact it might be having on her, but I wonder about the drinking personally. And IA that Aviva should be demoted to "friend of..." status and Luann be given back the apple. I am REALLY not sold in Jill Zarin returning, though. And I'd keep Kristen. I think she's worked her little tush off the try and generate some feuding, especially between Sonja and Luann.

Isn't that TOP from Big Bang, not Beast? Rowwwwwl. Bite that finger, boy. I heard he's one of the members of Big Bang who refuses to take his top off. Like, it's now a stipulation in his contract. Looking at the Exo kiddie pictures, I was surprised at how much the members still look like "themselves" because KPop is rife with mega amounts of plastic surgery. Like they were all sweet-looking kids. It was clear Luhan would grow up to be pretty! I think SM has been very judicious with PS, tbh. Obviously everybody got their teeth fixed (hey there Kris). There are a couple of extremely subtle nose jobs (SEHUN, Suho, possibly Kris, possibly Tao). Luhan and Chen may have had work on their chins. But D.O. looks identical to how he looks now. So does Chanyeol and Xiumin. They kept them looking more or less the same. Job well done! BTW, have you seen this? lol: CL speaks French?! As if my love for her could grow no further. The baddest bitch wows me at every turn! Taeyang part 2 Wonder Live:

Well, I hope they put LuAnn back on full HW status because I think she has earned her keep this season. In fact, I think she might be my favorite this season. I really felt for her when she shouted at Sonja about the facialist gossiping. I would feel hurt too if one of my close friends didn't defend me if an employee of theirs gossiped about or badmouthed me.
