Just like Bibimbap

Yo. It's been....months. Anyone still out there?

We really did neglect this blog eh? Sorry about that. Truth is, we kinda got...out of touch with Kpop. I was more into Korean indie during our...hiatus (?) but I just didn't have time to blog about them with A2 and university stuff to sort out those few months. BUT! I recently started listening to my Kpop stuff again and it just brought back so many good memories (': I kinda caught up with the more recent stuff since then and you might hear more stuff from us possibly (can't gurantee with my course unfortunately)!


ps. The time has come. More idols are currently younger than us. SO WEIRD. Half of Got7's members are younger than us. Also JYP seems to like his Chinese Thai recruits. ALSO WHAT KIND OF NAME IS BAMBAM?!

Today was the day I found out the full list of groups coming to Malaysia for the 27th Golden Disk Award. And today was also the saddest day of my life.

Both Rachel and I have been realising that lately, there has been so many couple-y happenings going on in the K-world that it's getting pretty overwhelming.

Let me just start of with my bias who had a little thing on stage with my other bias's sister. SHINee's Taemin and f(x)'s Krystal. Well, let me just put it out there that I don't really find Taemin all that good looking, but he's such a good dancer that whatever he does is just amazing. So when I saw them together, they looked pretty cute and I want to say I ship them, but my inner fangirl is screaming at my other half. So I'll just let the GIFs do the talking.

Guys I think I found the perfect gif for all my Kpop related expressions.


 Bias spotted with a girl group member:


Bias is getting married:


 Bias had a wardrobe malfunction:


Bias waved at your direction (<-- That's what jealous people say all the time but it's kay I know THEY TOTALLY WAVED AT YOU JUST LIKE HOW DONGHAE WAVED AT ME DURING SS3 ♥):


Your enemy got your Bias' sweaty towel:


Someone's pregnant:





and your bias is the father:




And of course, when people bitch about Kpop in front of you:






Whoever made this gif, THANKYOU ♥ It's perfect.

This blog is like both of our baby. Yes we have been neglecting it a little these 2 months or so because of school work, uni app and our future but we really want to thank all our readers for reading this blog even though we barely post nowadays. Funny thing though, we got more readers during this period where we posted close to nothing. Like we've been getting an average of about 70 readers (Yes not a lot but hey I'm surprise people even know about this blog other than some of our close friends) these 3 days and we really posted nothing major this month! We even missed out our favourites for last month!

I feel so bad for not posting but this term really was crazy with too much work for me to handle. Even though I am on break right now for 3 weeks, the last week was spent just by lying in bed the whole day trying to recuperate from the hectic term. ANNND I have to get back to my pile of work on the remaining 2 weeks ): BUT we will still post as best as we cannnn!

As for the missing November favourite, we will do a combined favourite for both November and December! I might churn out some K Indie posts (because I've been listening to pretty much just K Indie this whole month) and I think Nazlin might write some posts too cause "aww our reader stats is making me want to write a post now. i think i shall. yep." YEP GUYS! 95 readers in a day may not be a lot compared to other bloggers out there but hey it means a lot to us ♥

Once again, pleaseeee do comment! We really wonder who would be reading our blog! Is it just some close friends of ours or random people out there that share the same....obsession I would say as the both of us?
ps. Vikram, I know you read this sometimes to find things to tease me about so don't bother with that.

I just realised that I haven't been listening to a lot of Korean pop songs recently. OH NO! Don't worry, don't worry, I still love my Kpop. It's just that there haven't been a lot of new songs that I really like. Maybe cause I've been in the mood for some electronic, repetitive stuff so been switching between my Korean indie and English/European/American electronic stuff a lot. Hopefully there are some good comebacks before the end of the year!

There are 2 songs Kpop songs though that were not too bad and I quite like them. First up is B1A4's Try to Walk. This group has potential! Considering how this title song (and 2 other songs) was written by leader Jinyoung, it really is not bad! BARO LOOKS REALLY ADORABLE IN THIS VIDEO TOO OMAGAD LOOK AT THAT PASTEL PINK AND PURPLE HAIR OMAGAD okay.


The other one is Boyfriend's Soulmate. I'm okay with the title song, not too into it. But I'm more into Soulmate. Idk, it reminds me of something Infinite would sing. I really love stuff like this so BOYFRIEND, GET MORE STUFF LIKE THIS AND I'LL FORGET ABOUT THE TERRIBLE GROUP NAME YOU HAVE!


Yeah, I hope this post explains why I haven't been posting much. I also have a lot of uni app related stuff to do now. Naz was sick 2 days ago and has a lot of work to do too so for this few months posting won't be frequent and regular! :/

OH what a busy month it had been for us both. How are we not dead yet? Well no matter how busy we were this month, we still had some korean favs! New reader? HIIIIIIII and refer to this post if you don't know how our monthly favourite works! :D

Video: Don't Hate Me - Epik High
They're back! And with a fun filled and crazy music video! Wouldn't you just wanna trash a supermarket with them? And those kids! So adorable and boderline-ing creepy! Our favourites have got to be the Joker girl, Mini Lady Gaga and BABY G-DRAGONN!

Song: Style - Rania
Both of us were a little late (only one month heh no biggie :P) with this but we pretty much went crazy over it when we found out about it's awesomeness. Out of all the songs by Rania, this is the best we think. The sexy in the video was also kept to a classy (, sexy, crazy, COUTURE!) level. Nicely done!

Drama: Faith
Ahhh another future to past, past to future time travelling action, fantasy, romance drama! Just like Queen In Hyun's Man but reversed! If you fancy some action, history, romance and Lee Minho like Rachee, this drama is for you!

Dance: Bad Boy - 100%
Right. So the both of us really started to like this song as well, and upon checking out the dance practice for this boy group, we found that not only did they have sharp moves, it was also precise as well. In addition to that, all group members were equally good in dancing. Whether they're at the back or at the front, they all matched each other, and none of them stood out. (which is a good thing if you want to show good team work) Groups that are churned out these days are often talked into doing dance numbers when clearly, their members are far better off singing still, belting out big notes. I don't know whether it's because they're all pretty spicy dancers, or the routine is just nice to match their capabilities, but whichever one it is, they've NO DOUBT (Cue both of us rolling on the ground laughing) done it well.

Hottie: Kris - Exo M
Naz: At first, I didn't really think anyone in Exo was all that hot. Rachel started spamming feeding me videos about them and I started to realise that the "cold" looking leader could be pretty charming indeed. And yes, the height is always a plus! Rachee: Tall, nice jawline, piercing stare = Hot

News: Designer Song Hye Myung reveals she was dating SS501's Park Jungmin
Oh ho ho ho another unsatisfied girl talking bad about someone after break up. Nothing more interesting than that right? Well Super Junior's Leeteuk did enlist into the army (WE MISS YOU LEADER!) but we like to keep it hot and scandalous in this section.

I hateee HATE it when they take the flower boy concept literally. I have no issues with the flower boy concept but once you take it to this level:


Sorry, no can do.
Honestly though, this isn't even the worst case out there. Oh no no no I'm pretty sure you've seen these poor victims.



When the teasers came out....omg. WHY SM?! Yeah yeah flower boy concept but SUNGMIN LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY FINE LADY! He looks prettier than me! ):



Nothing against flowers but HUGE flower pins and pretty flower necklaces? Mmm not really my thing.

And the winners (or losers, however you want to look at it) goes to BOYFRIEND!


Floral shirts can be fine sometimes but FULL FLOWER SUITS AND FLOWER PANTS?! Even we girls don't do so much floral at one go!


Oh man oh man oh man. These are the probably the least crazy outfits they wore. Did you see the yellow version of this? Oh god.

I don't understand these literal flower boy concepts. Do the entertainment companies actually think they we find this attractive?

I posted this on my personal blog, but I decided to post it on here as well. Mainly because it contained SNSD material, but also because I wanted our readers to deviate just a slight bit away from life itself, and take a moment to absorb everything in.

"Yesterday, I was watching a Japanese show that featured SNSD. It was all about their Japan debut as well as group interviews on various other things. There was a segment that caught my eye, and it was "life motto" Each individual member came up/ had a life motto, and at the end of it all, it inspired me to come up with my own life motto. Here, extracted from the video are their life mottos:

"Don't do things I'd regret" -Kim Taeyeon. 

She continued on saying that this was to avoid coming up with "what if" She wanted to live life the way she would without any regrets.

"Follow my heart" -Jessica Jung Soo Jung

This, she stated was so that she can continue to achieve her dreams in the future, without any worries of what other people might say.

"Live without regrets" -Im Yoon A

This is quite similar to Taeyeon's I must say.

"My best in every moment" -Lee Sunkyu

She further commented that she wanted to be her best at every moment possible, so that she won't have any regrets or having to hate herself later for not doing whatever it was that was to be done.

"The winner who finishes  is a person who has a good heart" -Seo Joo-Hyun

This is probably the one I don't get, even after she explained it. aiyah, why so complicated maknae?!

"Today is MY day"- Stephanie Hwang Mi Young

Initially, she had the motto "work my hardest at all times" because she thought that if she worked hard, results will be satisfying, and that way, she would be happy; but she later realised that sometimes when she's hardworking, she's never really happy, so she came up with this motto, that everyday, it would be her day, she's not going to let anyone ruin it, because it is after all, HER day. Not anyone elses.

"What would Jesus do?"-  Choi Sooyoung/ Summer

The motto speaks for itself really, if ever in a situation where she doesn't know what to do, or is stuck in, she'll think about what would Jesus do to get her through it.

"The place where i am standing will become a flower in an unchanging land and I will be a person that as clean as the stream water, and be diligent, sincere, and honest" - Kim Hyoyeon

Again, speaks for itself.

"A genius cannot win over one who puts in effort, and one who puts in effort cannot win over one who enjoys himself" -Kwon Yuri

 Lastly, my favourite one from Yuri. In short, hard work beats any one with a genius brain; and you can never excel if you don't enjoy yourself. Whether you're put in a situation where it's not exactly the best it could be, find the good aspects of it, and think positively. If not, make it enjoyable.

After watching the video, I had a bucket full of inspiration, and I was determined all of a sudden. After playing bball on friday, I was always thinking, " if i died on saturday, I wouldn't have any regrets" I don't know why, but I was just so truly happy after friday. And it wasn't because we scored a lot, but just the fact that I took chances, and wasn't afraid of the outcome. It was the first time I did that, not caring a single bit, and I wondered would life be a whole lot more interesting if I had done that before?

Which leads me to the life motto I came up with a couple of hours ago,

"Live today the way you would if tomorrow was your last"

 Self explanatory no? Dying without regrets. Basically, #YOLO. It covers all aspects, from achieving your dreams or taking that little step closer to that dream, to spending enough time with your loved ones, rather than spending your time on the computer. Ask yourself this, if you were to die tomorrow, would you have been satisfied knowing that you spent your last day on youtube, facebook and twitter rather than with your family? I'm not saying that you shouldn't spend time on the computer at all, but spending vast amounts of your day on it, isn't beneficial. No one knows when they're going to die. Death is unpredictable, as is everything else in life that decides to throw at you.

Having said that, I truly hope I don't die tomorrow."

 Here's also to our 100th post!

ANNNNNNNND another month had gone by. What is this? Where did the time go?! New category starting from this month as mentioned before here. And if you are new to us, WELCOME and refer to this to understand how this works!

Video: Catch Me - TVXQ
Okay Rachee here just for a quick..speech. I don't care if they are in a box. It's a nice box. How can you not like those shards coming out from the ground they were standing on? Oooh straight lines and sharp edges....okay better not go off topic now. AND AND let's not forget that milk puddle. Come on, that's not a box anymore is it? Now that that's out, let's just say we love the use of accessories in this video. Those arm armors as we would like to call them were really quite nicely used especially during the parts where they all link arms. Woooo dragonnnnnnn pahwah!

Song: '84 the Original - Glen Check
Yes yes me again of course as you can judge from the song choice. Since the 2 songs we both love this month (Catch Me and Stop Girl) were included in different categories....I shall be selfish and take this for myself hehe. And yes again I know this song was mentioned here but the one I'm including in this category is the "original" version......so '84 was not the original one? But yes I like this version better for some reason. What do you guys think? Which one do you prefer?
*I do apologize for the tumblr's url but that is the only place I can find the audio of it.*

Drama: Reply 1997
ANNNNNND it's me again...how awksies is this. Naz hasn't been catching up on dramas cause she is being a hardworking girl. Well I stopped too okay. I started watching this during summer and then stopped when school started and ended up just reading the recaps ): But hey from the episodes I watched before I stopped, I must say the acting is not bad considering how this is Eunji's first drama AND being the main (MAN I LOVE THIS GIRL! SHE'S FEISTYY!) and also Seo Inguk's first main role. What I really love is the plot as it revolves around the lives 6 high school friends, the crazy fan culture at that time and WHO'S THE BABY'S DADDY!

Dance: Stop Girl - Ukiss
Naz here! Finally, Ukiss is out with a new song, and I have to say, I'm loving both the song and dance! The dance definitely deserves something big. Let's just give a huge round of applause to the choreographers for coming up with this genius choreo. Proves you don't need big American names behind all this to get a good outcome. The structure of it all is splendid from the beginning where Kiseop gets his limelight (oh? did I just hear Rach squeal? I think I did! Rachee: I'VE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS!) and does a full dance while other members file in after him. The addition of girl back up dancers is also a very nice change to the stage. It gives a slightly different but pleasing vibe to the whole song, and I really hope that they'll get far with this one! Already searching up covers to learn the dance! Love love love.

Hottie: Lee Min Woo 
Ok, Naz again. Normally, I have to be honest with you guys here, I haven't really thought any one was hot that much since my Taemin days, but upon watching Kkok Kkok Tour as well as Shinhwa's broadcast featuring SHINee (read my post on it), I totally fell for Min Woo. Fine, he doesn't fit my height criteria, but no one's perfect right? right?!!??! (hypocrite talking here, but wtv) His smile is just NGAWWWW and he's funny too! Well, I think if I was to continue watching episodes of Shinhwa's broadcast, I would eventually fall for all of them (Eric is next on the list) Can I just say, that everyone who's reading this HAS to click this link right HERE. You'll know why once you've watched it. Loving it.

News: Big Bang's Seungri caught up in sex scandal rumours after release of pictures by Japanese tabloid 'Friday'

Exactly a week ago from today, I turned 18! I don't feel all that much more different to be honest. There are tons of pictures that were taken, but I'm not too sure about posting them since I wouldn't know if my friends would mind having their faces on the net. I will however, post the very first photo of both Rachel and I on our blog!


I'm on the left in white and Rach is on the right with her korean boots! (If any of you readers remember, she talked about those discounted boots she got from singing to Gangnam style in the shop!)

Hihi! Just wanted to highlight some things going on here at Just Like Bibimbap as we are rolling into our 4th month wooo!

As you all know, Naz and I decided to create this blog so we could share our views, rants, fangirling with more people. Most importantly with people who share the same interest! Since the start we never really had any comments from our readers which was not too much of a bother to us but we would LOVE to hear about what you think on our posts (more like ranting most of the time) here! We would love some feedback and constructive criticisms too so we can improve on our writing techniques and make your reading experience more enjoyable! So come on girls, come on boys, come make some noise (no hate please)!

Also, we decided to change the food section into a dance section instead. Sorry foodies! We love Korean food too but we found that we had more to talk about dance than food. But don't you worry! We will still be talking about food but we will be replacing our food tab with a dance tab! Hope all you dancers out there will be looking forward to more dance posts :)

Wow another month over just like this. Where did the time go?! This would mark the 2nd month of our blog's birth! Woah that was quick! D: If you are new to this blog, welcome and remember to click those tabs at the very top to check out our monthly favourites! :D

Video: One of a Kind - G-Dragon
Another crazy video by G-Dragon. Dreadlocks, stabbing hearts, asian bears, Chanel tennis balls......this video is full of crazy stuff but hey, that is the One of a Kind G-Dragon for you!

Song: Rock Ur Body - Vixx
This rookie group is really impressing Rachel! 2 catchy title songs that got her replaying it over and over in less than 4 months. We are excited to see what this rookie group has to offer in the future!

Drama: Gentleman's Dignity/Gentleman's Class 
Omg how can anyone not like this show? It is like Boys over Flower's F4 but the 30 years later version of it! Even though there is only 1 member of the main cast below the age of 25, this drama showed that even without the idol actors/actressed (Though CN Blue's Jonghyun did do a great job as a supporting character), it can still make it because it is just so damn hilarious. Definitely a must watch!

Dish: Korean Hotpot
After having hotpots nearly everyday in Korea, Rachel has decided that this shall be the dish of the month! You will never get bored of the LARGE varieties of hotpots available out there! Seafood, pheasant, mushrooms, you name it, they have a hotpot for it.

Hottie: Yoo Ah In
We totally love him! Like Nazlin said, he's got natural swag. He is slowly coming up as an actor and we cannot wait to see more of him!

News: Actor Yoo Ah In reveals he is in a relationship
And then there is this news that shattered both our dreams. Sigh we are happy for you though! We wonder who that lucky girl is!!

Well since summer is nearly over for Naz and I, we are actually quite busy trying to write 6000 words that was meant to be completed in the course of the year in 4 days because we were procrastinating like crazy sorting out some home work before school starts. So we might not be making any posts (though we might give in and sneak in a few short posts here and there) during these few days!

Very sorry (sorry sorry sorry) guys but unfortunately studies comes first so yeah. ): We'll be back (breaks into some 2PM shuffling) real quick so continue to come visit and see if you are lucky enough to spot a few short posts! :D

I'd just like to continue this rant, and shower all of you with my points of view. To be frank, they don't differ much from Rachel's. It's a sad fact though, that a lot of us, mainly hypocritical, two faced ones that are causing suicidal rates in Korea to shoot sky high. Why? because we demand so much, and expect so much from people that are not that different from us. These are people who majority of which are in the same age group as us, or better yet, the same generation.

To be honest, I'm so sick of people going "OMG, she's not even pretty, why is she an idol?" "aren't idols suppose to be skinny? she's a bit...chubby don't you think?" No. Just no. Don't even get me started. Seriously, these people have to go through so much because of your selfishness, because of your high expectations. Expectations that funnily enough increase by themselves to the point it's impossible to achieve.

Especially when it comes to looks, everyone gets a little sensitive. For guys, it's a little bit more turned down. If you're not buff, you still could pull of that aegyo style and all these noona's will come running. If you're lucky enough, or determined enough to get buff, noona's will still come running. Either way, guys always has it easier. I'm not trying to make this post feminist or anything, but it's the truth. So no hate alright?

Society expects so much, and when someone breaks down, or even worse take their own life due to such pressures, society turns around and becomes all motherly. Oh, what a great loss we've had.

I guess this rant has pretty much diverted from plastic surgery to general image issues, but my point still stands. If a person wants to get plastic surgery to improve themselves, let them. Because the only people that they're trying to please is you. So stop with the bashing and start respecting.

-Naz

Since the topic "plastic surgery" did come up in "The Face" post, I shall make a little post just you know, to vent my anger voice my opinion in this matter.

I'm just going to get straight to the point. I don't care whether someone had plastic surgery done on them. In today's society, where image and first impressions are everything, it's not a surprise that people would want to 'improve' their looks. If people are fine with putting on makeup, which is pretty much a temporary version, then why should they not be fine with people getting the permanent version of it?

I never get why people make such a big deal out of it. Is it because you felt cheated? That your idol is not a 'natural beauty'? That your idol 'is not as pretty/handsome' as you thought they were?  Sometimes, it's the people like these that 'pushes' them into getting plastic surgery. Yeah yeah you should never look down upon yourself and not have such low esteem bla bla bla but honestly, it's not that easy and it would be harder for an idol to do that. I mean idols' nowadays are often judged by their looks, even before their talent so if some judgmental bitches people don't like how they look, how will they even survive in this industry (Where image is so important I can't even stress to what extent.) doing what they want and have been training their butts off for?

Not that I am encouraging or totally for plastic surgery nor do I only care about people's looks, it's just that I don't really care what people want to do with what they have. I mean it's good if people learn how to embrace their features but if they think it would be better for them, I won't judge.
