Some people might say that I'm truly a K-POPers. I can't denied it but it's not completely true. I'm not a person that keeping all korean songs in my iTunes. I'm a selective one. I only collected what I think it's good enough for my ears.

This time I would like to expose one of the Korean singers I like. I'm not a huge fan of her but her new album is worth to be discuss.

Lee Ji-eun 이지은 known as IU, just released her newest album with the title "Modern Times". If you eager much to know the songs included in the album, go check in Sound Cloud. She used many genre in this album, such as bossa nova, jazz, latin pop and many. I think that even though the title is "Modern Times" but her songs are all in oldies mood.

Even her cover album photos and the photos related are mostly in 1970s (?) mood. It's great that now she shows her maturity more. She's the Korean's "little daughter" after all. So from being cute, innocent, and sweet, she transformed into more sexy and feminine.



I was surprised while browsing in Google that she also had some photos with Ga In from Brown Eyed Girls. Ga In, if you don't know, she's the woman in PSY's Gentleman music video. She's knows as the sexy woman in Korea. That's why I was kinda shocked. Then I found out that there's a song in the album where Ga In featuring in. Aaahh.. OK then.

Here are some more photos of IU and also Ga In.

Uuu another update from me!

This time I want to share something to you guys. Well, kinda self confession time. Tee hee. I hope you understand.

When I decided myself to work in this fashion industry, I said to myself that I'm ready to do everything. Not just the ordinary editorial shots but also the mature one. You know, the 21+ one. It's not about me being pervert or anything but yeaah.. it's about the art. I thought about it and set my mind.

Then I had this chance to shoot something like that. It's not gonna be use for editorial or what, it's purely just for fun and experimenting. Honestly, I was so nervous because I never do something like this. I was sooo afraid to go beyond my imagination. HAHAHA. Seriously, lesson learned from this photo shoot and thank you for this opportunity.

The picture above is the first teaser of the whole photo shoot. Not only that but I also did some cosplay shots with the models.

Do wait for it! Ciao~

Heyyy everybody! How's your days?
I'm graduating already and now i'm on my way to pursue the next thing in life, that's MAKING MONEY! oh my God, my head.

So, I haven't introduce this guy formally here but I think I've mentioned about him in my previous posts. One of my best friends, Evan a.k.a Papercaptain, is doing his personal project nowadays. Honestly, I really want to do something together with him, collaborating or something but I don't think it's possible since Evan is really a busy person. Then I asked him for a special request, draw something for me. HAHAHA. Well, I had this song in my mind since a long time ago but I haven't had a chance to do something about it.

Hymn to Hope, composed by Secret Garden, a really famous new age artist. I've been in love with these guys and I found a vocal version (in Korean) of that song, sung by Youngok Shin. This song gives you hope, literally. After I translated the lyrics myself to English, I was kind of sad. The song was supposed to be give me hope to live but then I realized that the meaning is too tragic for me.

"난 돌아왔죠.. 세상의 끝에서..." (I'm coming back.. When the world ends..)

 "때론 지치고.. 힘들고 서글퍼도..." (Sometimes it's tiring, difficult and troubled..)

It seems like it's about the END. I don't know why but I'm dropping tears when I listening to this song. OK. Back to the story. Then, I asked Evan to draw something from this song. Based on this song. He asked me which part of the lyrics I liked the best. There's this lyric,

"세상의 모든 꿈.." (All the dreams of the world)

 This particular part, when I first heard it, I felt.. peace. The dreams of the world? It's so beautiful, isn't it?

And finally, this is what Evan came up with.



He combined it with Japanese art style and also its folklore, Kaguya. I was so surprised when I found out that Kaguya have red black ombré hair!
Looks like the fashion sense of our Papercaptain is finally come out eh?
Well, it's a wraaapp!
