Same here! I had a crush on Sehun before I even considered he might be that way romantically inclined, but now that I've seen these two together on EXO Showtime and YouTube, I ain't bitter. In fact, I love them both all the more. It's part puppy love, part burning-hot attraction. Frankly, they are the cuteness.

Absolutely! I love the way they touch each other & hug all the time lol

your ass is finally back in here, just in time for a sexy Taeyang come back, next week

OMG, Taeyang is having a solo tour in Japan

Yes, my timing is very good, apparently. LOL

OK, that's it, pack your bags and we're going to Japan!

T.O.P. is intensely hot in that Reebok spot.

Tokyo is the chit! OF COURSE YOU CAN COME!!! Let's round up AllMyDays, too, and go drool over Taeyang.

Tokyo here we come!

Speaking of Tokyo and Taeyang, here is him performing Ringa Linga there last Dec

This was published on my Tumblr feed and literally made me LOL.

EXO -- when they were kids (literally) starting out:

Happy dancing. Chanyeol slaps D.O.'s ass.

D.O.: The !@#$%^&*], man?

Quickly back to happy dancing.

Chanyeol smacks D.O.'s ass again.

D.O.: I'M GONNA FUCKIN KILL YOU.

OMG at Twinkletoes dancing over to break things up.

LOL^^^^

Not sure if you know about this, but this is the site I use to download the various artists' live performances.

Thanks for that link!

I am really excited for Monday and the release of Rise. In fact, with work being so depressing at the moment, it is literally the only thing I am looking forward to on Monday. I really hope the teaser wasn't lying and that the Tears for Fears sample features in it because I love that song.

Great live performance by Taeyang in Japan.

ETA: ugh, hate posting from my phone!

Haha, you may get a kick out of these. EXO were watching clips from their debut year

GD/Taeyang

man thats a hot shot

Haha, you may get a kick out of these. EXO were watching clips from their debut year

Your post ^^ made me look back at my previous post about Chanyeol smacking D.O.'s ass, and I now realize (judging by Chen's T-shirt as he runs over at the end) that the tumblr gifs was not from EXO's early days but rather last week's Seoul concert! Which puts Chanyeol's comment about D.O. being the most handsome (in your post) in the context of "Sorry for hitting your ass. In public. While you were singing and dancing." LOL! Grovel, Chanyeol!

Man, I forget how incredibly young these kids are, and then you see shots like this and realize they are only babies still! D.O. and Luhan still look about 15. And your clips of Suho watching himself from two years ago -- agewise, I can't tell the difference between Suho then and now, apart from the hair which makes him look very angelic.

"hello I am exo's guardian angel, leader suho!" embarrassment level: 100% Also saw Lay referred to as "healing angel Lay." WTF. I mean, I like Lay and all but perhaps they need to retire this 'exo superpowers' concept.

GD/Taeyang

man thats a hot shot

It is hot. Look at that pout/snarl!

So, did I get the wrong day? I have been looking for the release of Rise but maybe it is just available as a download only. If anyone has an idea of where I can find it, let me know.

I got it wrong. The crying was actually from last year. I looked it up. Man that was rough. I cant beleive no one stepped in to save him by taking the mic and speaking! Poor Suho. Apparently he also cried on the red carpet and there's clips of Tao and Kai also crying. These boys are emotional...lol

As far as looks go, I think Chanyeol and Sehun have changed the most. Sehun has gone through a late growth spurt and looks noticeably older than the Mama days

It is hot. Look at that pout/snarl!

I looked last night and it wasnt up, nor was it up this morning. It BETTER not be delayed again. I think I read this morning that it might actually be 6/3/14 so we will have to wait just a little bit longer

btw, GREAT interview here:

I guess we assume that people in Asian have an iron grip on their emotions. But they just express them in different ways and contexts. And Koreans do show sadness and happiness more readily than, say, the Japanese. In EXO's case, at moments of high tension, they really let lose. Suho and Tao have all sobbed in public, and when Kris left, Suho and Tao were also the ones who went on Twitter or Instagram to express their feelings of sadness or betrayal (now, whether SM Entertainment pushed them to do that, I don't know, but it does illustrate who the two most emotional members are!).

The crying jags may also be because SM work those poor kids to the bone and have done since their pre-debut days. Have you seen Luhan's legs and arms?! He looks like an Olympic gymnast. They train them constantly and as a result there often seem to be a lot of dance-related injuries. Many EXO members have sad eyes at times. It's no coincidence that Kris left -- he realized that Korean idol life -- and the price to pay for it -- was too high.

As far as looks go, I think Chanyeol and Sehun have changed the most. Sehun has gone through a late growth spurt and looks noticeably older than the Mama days

Yeah, definitely. Remember my crazy Tao-Sehun post?! It was more or less in chronological order. The change in Sehun's baby face and height from early 2013 to the most recent shot of Tao hugging Sehun from behind (which was 2014, I think) is very noticeable. And I remember Chanyeol with his little face and ears in the early vids, lol. Now he looks so tall.

The first thing I did this morning was turn on my phone and look to see if it had been released. The Rise poster you posted said it would by 6/2/2014 but maybe it's just on i-tunes or something. "Offline release" on 6/10/2014, sigh.

That really was an excellent interview (on a good website, too). I wonder if it was conducted in English? Taeyang was really honest about saying what he liked and didn't like in terms of his music, and even about difficulties within Big Bang. I hope Rise is a big hit for him. I would LOVE it if he released a mixtape of his all favorite stuff! For free!

man thats a hot shot

OMG You guys are killing me with all these GIFs

And this GD/Taeyang pic is *this close* to being gay porn. HOT DAMN.

WHERE IS NEW TAEYANG MUSIC??????????????????????

ITS OUT

Im not instantly in love with the song but I can see it growing on me. Great video though

That shot is my favorite.

I will be spending the next day listening to the songs. FINALLY 1AM is released. I loved the live renditions he has done

*gasps*

Who is this Taeyang and where has been all my life? I think I might've caught the "Yellow Fever," and I'm about to perform a robbery on Cheap.
