Jay Park rocking MCM in his music video for 'JOAH' (박재범의 '좋아' 뮤직비디오 x MCM스타크)

I've been getting a lot of referrals from Google directing people searching "Jay Park MCM Joah" etc., so I figured that I would do a quick basic post on his backpack! As you all know, I'm a huge fan of MCM and therefore I'd be happy to touch upon the brand for you guys! Hoho~  

Jay Park is not only rocking some epic BOY LONDON gear in his recent music video for the (super awesome!!!) song JOAH ('좋아'), he's also seen dancing around in an alley wearing the beautiful red MCM Stark backpack. As Jay's version not only has the basic studs on the top part of the front of the bag but ALSO has studs on the sides, I'm guessing that his bag is a custom version of the Stark, made especially for him. It is not uncommon for kpop stars to hit up the PR people (or designers directly) of MCM to request certain customizations done to the bags that they want to buy; 2ne1, Key (SHINee), 2AM and especially G-Dragon are well known for doing exactly that.

Jay Park's bag appears to be a medium size (I'm judging by the fact that he's short and it looks "normal sized" on him, lol) MCM Stark in red, customized with extra studs on both lower sides of the bag and on the top middle of the front (by the logo). The regular version of the Stark varies in price (and size) from W495,000 to up to W675,000. The bigger the bag is and the more studs it has - the more expensive it'll be, as all studs are attached by hand.

The smallest size of the MCM STARK is set to W495,000 in the webshop (approx US$500) while the medium (and most popular size) is W555,000 (approx. $560). MY OWN BAG was set to approx W670,000 (I got a discount though) and is also quite popular still. Actually, just to add to the coolness of my bag in particular, the dark blue color has completely sold out of stock and is no longer available in store - even celebs are actually still requesting the exact color and model. Suck eeeeet! LOL.

Pictured: MEDIUM Stark

Beware of fakes!!

(my friend shared this ugly pic on FB lol. 

For some sort of contest to win a knock-off bag)

Ugly-ass fakes of the MCM bags are all over the place (especially in Asia) and cheap stores are shamelessly copying everything from the shape to the actual brand logo of the bag. The price of the original bag is expensive - yes, but think of it as an investment. I've dropped my bag, scratched it against brick walls, accidentally stepped on it and ripped it open quite viciously a few times. I also carry heavy books and a laptop in it, yet it hasn't lost its shape at all! You are paying for the quality of MCM - not just the pretty gold logo and the 3 letters. Sure, you can probably get a cheaper copy, but if you ever come to Korea with that.... lol. People will easily recognize that yours is fake and they will probably laugh at you for even trying. I'm not saying that you should buy the real deal because I did (nor because people in Korea will die laughing if they ever see you with a fake), I'm just saying that you should really consider what you are paying for. You can pay half of the MCM bag's price for a knock-off, but keep in mind - the quality will ALSO be a knock-off.

Hey there! I got the epic pictures taken by the epic photographer at the epic MCM x Vogue Fashion Night Out event in September last year w000t! How epic is that? I know.. SUPER.. EPIC. I wanna take this quick opportunity to first of all thank our good friend - without this amazing person, we wouldn't have had this once in a lifetime experience ^3^)/ thank you! 베리판니! ♡ ㅋㅋ Please, you guys, since I don't own the rights to these (but simply got permission to use them on my blog) don't go spreading them around, removing the tag etc. If you absolutely cannot resist reposting on other sites (tumblr, twitter etc.) please give full credit to this site and link back to this entry in particular. I give all picture-taking-props to the photographer at the event - thanks for the many (and awesome) pictures ^__^)/ ~ ♡ hoho! Even though some of the pics aren't very flattering for me... -__- ugh damn being taller than most people here - including the photographers, lol. BUT we (I, Kat and Nezumi) super much appreciate the entire night! So thanks to all staff for treating us like royalty! I will put small captions below some of the pics to explain what's going on.. for your convenience ; D Hehe! Now please.. enjoy! I bet some of these goodies are unseen by most of you ^__~)v

Noms! I acquired a very good friend in the champagne hence why my face is derp in most pictures. lol

LEO! This collection is beyond epic! G-Dragon's bday present from MCM was also featuring some of the LEO stuff and oh my god, it is orgasmic. -sobs- If you get the chance, stop by any MCM store ok! You must!

The DJ! He did an amazing job AND he speaks German! w00t!

Nezumi and I looking at the "pick the most popular style". I'm all for the Stark! Haha!

The DJ and his good friend John, whom we got to talk to quite a lot. He's part German and I got to flex my epic German skills! Haha he was so nice and got a good talk with the trainees that performed at the event later during the night.

Here we are! Talking to John ^__^)/ He and I fell in love... with the same backpack! God dammit! I wonder if he got it.. haha! John, if you're out there.. holla at me ok! LOL let a girl know!

There were two "teams" of trainees that performed. I have no idea what label they are from, but they're set to debut this year ^__^)/ so please.. 많이사랑해주세요! They did an amazing job both of the teams.. there was this super cool guy in a studded denim vest (denim vests are the bomb!) and he wore a BOY London tshirt, from what I remember.. He was.. well, let's just say he's my bias already! Haha.

If you can't tell, I'm well into the champagne by now.. lol. From left to right: Me, Kat, Nezumi, the vice-president of MCM, John and Mr. Kim ^3^)/

Oh look, it's Jay Park! Haha, he's beyond cool. Sadly we didn't get to talk to him at all :C boo! Maybe some other time.. /sigh. I love his new MV btw, did you all see it yet? HERE'S a link. Hehe! Get it get it!

B2ST's Hyunseung made a short appearance too ^__^)/ he's soooo pretty irl! Very handsome and super nice and humble. It was so surprising to see him all "high" at the UNITED CUBE concert ㅎㅎ..

Oh look who that is! SS501's Hyungjoon! He's SOOO nice! omg and he held my waist when we took the picture >: D That's probably why my face turned out all derp.. trololol. He told me my Korean was good -sobs- I don't remember if I told you in my original event entry, but he made a girl cry.. haha! He shook her hand and she BURST into tears. The poor guy looked all confused and as I stood next to her, I guess I was the first to get eye contact with him. Haha poor fella. It's okay, I'm sure she meant well.. with.. all the tears.. and the sobbing. Haha

And lastly.. Some SHINee Key footage! w00t. I have many more pictures (a total of 129 in fact) but I didn't wanna spill it all. Some of it is secret and for me and my friends to enjoy on our cold, lonely nights when we go back to Denmark this summer. Haha!

Hope you enjoyed!

Much love

♡

드디어돌아왔나봐..

source: SOOMPI

I've been watching HEARTSTRINGS for the past week's time. I saw a lot of pics (like THIS one) on TUMBLR and decided to give it a go, and I gotta admit that I was pleasantly surprised. I usually don't like Park Shin Hye (mostly because her characters are always brain dead and spine-less (kinda like "Mary" in Marry Me Mary)) but she is so awesome in this one.. and of course, Yonghwa. You sexy little motherfucker, youuu! His fellow band-mate (CN.BLUE), Minhyuk did a terrific job as well! So cute! Haha. You should all check it out! Actually there's a CN.BLUE fansigning event today here in Shinchon, but fangirls are usually plenty and very aggressive.. so I rarely go to these events. They scare the living shit out of me to be honest. Also you are usually required to have bought the album at the particular store (that the event is taking place in) and then place your receipt in a small box. At the event they will then call your name/information and you can come in and get your CD signed (at least that's what Nezumi told me). It all sounds so complicated. phuu~ T_T I prefer meeting idols at cafés or through my good friend.. all this fuss stresses me out and usually gives a really awkward impression.. I dunno. Maybe I'm just being stupid and picky because I can be.

Anyway, I guess you're all wondering what I've been up to ever since my last post (which was about 100 years ago), huh? I'm sorry. I've had no motivation nor energy to post. I started going to the gym really late at night, which is super nice! I skipped yesterday though, but I'm going tonight instead. I go 4 times a week and it's really nice. It helps me release a lot of tension and built-up energy (and anger, lol). To tell you all the truth, my mood has been fucking ridiculous lately. Anyway, let's not talk about that..

I went to the 성훈 (Sunghoon, actor and MCM's main model) fan-meeting in the end of January and it was fucking awesome! But we were kind of "invited" to go there, and there weren't that many people, so it was all good : D We all went out to dinner (me, Kat, Nezumi, the CEO, Sunghoon, his hot friend Yohan who fed me potatoes and whose voice is ridiculously/sexily deep, some staff members and so on and so forth) afterwards. Ahh! It was a really nice experience ^__^)/ apparently a few of the staff members thought we were celebrities from Denmark because we were there.. o__o lol and some Japanese women came over and gave me a camera. I thought they wanted me to take their photo, but they were just waving the camera at me to ask if I would be in a picture with them. Haha! So cute! So they all took turns to take pictures with me and Nezumi! I guess we looked cool that day : P Hoho!

We also went on our first trip outside of Seoul! We had these delicious waffles with Hee-Oog (a Korean friend that we met in Denmark) and he invited us to go meet his mother and have lunch at his place : D So cool!

We went to Cheonan! Yes, we did! Road trip was ON and it was super fun! : D We all decided that we're definitely taking the train when we go to Busan. Also, it appears that handsome guys like to go by train ; D Noted, indeed. Hoho!

We went to his mom's house! She prepared a lovely lunch for us (ddeokguk, nyamnyam!) and tons of side dishes! It was DEEEELISH and his mom loved to talk! Hehehehehee.

Hee-Oog then took us to this fancy museum-kind-of-place with super pretty buildings and shit. It was awesome.. and super fun! His Danish is yet to improve (열심히공부해야한다고!!!) but his small phrases are so fucking cute.. He ran around and kept putting his coffee cup in the most random places outside the buildings there (cause you weren't allowed to bring drinks inside) and as soon as we finished seeing the exhibition he'd run off for his coffee going "Kaffetid! Kaffetid!" (means "coffee time" in Danish) BAHAHAHA so cute..

Enough of that.. I also played a lot of HAYDAY! That game is fucking dope and look! I found myself as a horse in the game.. LOLOL the hair. The most epic part? The horse does hairflips. HAHAHAHA omg.

We went to the UNITED CUBE concert on Feb. 2nd! Our seats were great and all my biases (except Ilhoon T_T) came to our side of the stage and danced around and blew kisses! (HYUNA TOO OMG SHE'S SO PRETTY IRL AND SHE'S SO CUTE AND FUNNY AND AHHHHHH) Next time, Ilhoon, I will get youuuuu! :'C bish.

but omg Hyuna.. did I mention how lovely and pretty and cute and funny she is? AHHH. I can't even.. I die... -sobs forever- She got SOOOO skinny tho T_T SO skinny.. like.. please don't lose more weight, Hyuna! Your booty is all gone :C

Aaaaand then.. we went to our fav. café to hang out with our good friend : D Yay! I discretely censored his face tho.. please excuse that. LOL

and this is me being attractive on Nezumi's birthday (which I will post more about later!)

Lastly, a bit of sex for you guys.. because I kept you on the wait for a new entry for so long.

-sobs-

isn't he just perfect?

nom nom husband nom nom

Have a good one, guys!
I will be back with more details about Nezumi's birthday later on.

MUCH LOVE

♡

YOUR LOVE ISN'T REAL

Long time no see, aye?

I'm sorry it's taken me over a week 3 weeks to post anything. As you could probably guess from my last entry, I've been living life to the fullest - my friends (Kat and Annemette) and I were invited to the MCM x VOGUE Fashion Night Out event on the 6th of September and fuckmehard it was amazing! We were personally introduced by our friend to Key (SHINee), Hyunseung (B2st/BEAST) and Hyungjoon (SS501) - we even had pictures taken with Hyungjoon. So so so cool! And he told me my Korean was good /swoons/ HOHOHO~! I don't have the pictures from MCM yet, because they had a pro photographer take them.. so yeah, we're getting them from our friend eventually, I'm assuming. The party was amazing, I met some epic people, got to talk to the vice president of MCM (and omg she is so stylish!!) and had way too much champagne. /sobs. It was fucking amazing though! You probably (if you stalk any of the aforementioned idols (or Jay Park)) saw me hanging in the background of fancams like this one

or yeah.. something like that : P (I'm the girl with the white hair and denim vest (lol))The amount of Key-fangirls was OVERWHELMING and super scary. They were pushy and looked so mean when we were brought inside where he was .___." Please don't kill me ok. Speaking of Key, that guy is BEAUTIFUL in real life. If you think he's attractive in MVs or photos.. please try to see him irl. He's STUNNING. Same goes for all the other idols actually. I've only seen SuJu members Ryeowook and Eunhyuk as being not-as-attractive-irl.. but other than that everyone else looks AMAZING. I was surprised by how good Hyunseung looks irl! So so so so so handsome. I'm so sad his father passed away yesterday.. All my condolences, Hyunseung~ T_T Please don't be too discouraged.

Other than all that, I've been drinking like a desert for the past two week's time. I've been hungover pretty much all week. Partying non-stop, meeting new people, hanging at Club ESCAPE and Mike's Cabin (in Shinchon.. come say hi!) with my friends and simply just having fun! I had my first uni class on Thursday the 6th (before the event). We were barely there for an hour and then the teacher said "let's not spend all 3 hours today.. I just wanna talk about this class and how there's no class next week. So see you in 2 weeks ok!" LOL. So yeah, no classes until.. well.. 2 weeks after. /sigh. Language school doesn't start until Sep. 27th, so I'm having a dangerous amount of time to kill until then. Which usually ends with me drunk as shit at ESCAPE or somewhere else.. LOL. There was a photographer a few weeks ago there.. I was piss drunk, so if you see any photos from that party, please don't judge me.. -__-" I have no idea how, but I think someone spiked my drink or something. I went from happy and drunk on beer to fucking WASTED so fast, that I can't even.. o__o" So yeah, girls.. be careful ok! Good thing Seonghyuk was there to save my drunken ass and throw some water at me. LOL. He's a good guy! Jun also takes good care of me and their boss is so nice.. So come to Shinchon CLUB ESCAPE if you get the chance. Hit me up somewhere, I'd love to party with y'all! Kekeke.

Anyway.. yeah.. I guess that's it. I'm sorry that my posts are so sporadic (more like "rare", lol). /sobs. I lost followers T_T /creyz. But yeah, I'm trying ok. I just recently was able to update Instagram as well (heygodareyouready), KakaoTalk is a bit troublesome as well (dwaejieolgul) cause the wifi here is shit.. and yeah.. 3G on pre-pay is just a bad idea. It cost me 30,000 won in 4 days. Not good O_O" Tomorrow is my placement test for language school, so I feel a bit obligated to study. Regardless I think level 2 is OK for me.. Hopefully. Oh damn, if I get into beginner's level I will cry T_T my ego can't deal. Haha!

^__^)/ Hang in there, guys! I'll post more as soon as I'm settled with everything.. and started classes.. and yeah.. you know. Here are some random photos for you that I didn't bother tagging because my old laptop is slow as fuck and I don't have photoshop on this one.. ㅋㅋㅋ yeah sorry.. I'm a lazy blogger these days.. Maybe a vlog this week? oOooOoo~

oOooo teaser pic from the event. You probably saw this on Instagram too.

I was hanging out with Stephen in Shinchon yesterday and suddenly these kids appeared out of nowhere and started dancing (too sexily...) to Gangnam Style. -__-" Seriously, Korea.. Seriously..

My first home-cooked meal at the dorm's kitchen! Wooh!

Noms with Winston! Tuna kimbap and ddeokbokki.

Partying w/Mikko! His birthday was on Wednesday, so we got wasted (again) lol

Me on.. uhh.. I don't know? Friday? LOL. Before getting drunk as well. /sigh

Noms at Stephen's parents' restaurant! SO GOOD!

We went to the SISTAR concert too! Their first "real" concert! Mad props. Hyorin is amazing live!

And what I prefer to devour these days w/Nezumi. Burger'n'Shake is love~!

MUCH LOVE YOU GUYS
Until next time
~(^__^)/

SO BLESSED from UP ABOVE~

hey guys

I want to tell you so many things. I have to leave out a lot of details for two main reasons; 1. I promised this incredible person to not speak of him nor what he showed us (that came out wrong, but I promise you it's not gross like that at all. lol) 2. Safety precautions. I already talked a bit about this on FB to my real life friends and those who are a big part of my life on a daily. I won't reveal anything else to you than what I revealed to them. Only my parents know the full details and the people involved. My friends on FB are already trippin' cause they wanna know who we met on that lovely Friday afternoon so badly. lol. I won't tell you, but let's just say that he's incredibly sweet, very talented and extremely funny.

Anyway, Kat, Nezumi and I went to the MCM store to purchase some of their amazing backpacks. We looked it up online, researched magazines and were so into this that we had to get them. We had simply planned to go to the store, buy the bags and then go back home and chill.. but oh no, that's not how it turned out. Thanks to Kat's EPIC choice of wearing a BIGBANG tshirt, we were approached by this (what we thought to be a "random") person at MCM. He loved Kat's shirt and suddenly we were taken to a café where we tried a special drink (오마자), then we got to see a lot of super-epic photos of some of his personal friends, we talked about fashion, MCM and even 2ne1! It was so cool! He then took us for a ride in his (epicccc!) car and showed us the area a bit, before we settled down at a super cute café close by. He got us hand-dripped coffee w/syrup and even fed us as we hadn't eaten all day. He treated us like pure royalty and was so good to us. I can't even express in words how incredibly thankful I am! We got to do and see so many things that I wish I could share with you.. but that'll have to wait until after official statements have been made. (Okay, before you guys get all confused and start throwing up rainbows, we did not become trainees. Haha! So don't think like that ok! xD)

Anyway, we hung out with this guy for like 4 hours before we got on the subway home after exchanging numbers and promising to go out for dinner in the neighborhood as soon as we were all free to go. I've never met a person this inspirational and warm-hearted. He took us, 3 random girls, into his world - showed us around, fed us delicious food and sang along to the music at the café with us. Being in his company was so relaxing - he was like a good friend that you'd known for years but hadn't had the chance to see in a while. Spite us being so young, he listened to us, made us laugh and entertained us like there was no tomorrow! And for all of this.. I am so incredibly grateful! :"D

I know that you're probably thinking "Nani wtf just tell us who he is god dammit!" But I won't.. You can have a guess in the comments. LOL. I might tell you if you got it right or not.. ^__~)/ ㅋㅋㅋ

Before leaving you (hanging, haha) I just wanted to share a few pics of my bag, the MCM store and me and the girls outside one of the cafés we were at. A BIG shout-out to our new, amazing friend, who turned a hot, unbearable day into a fairytale for 3 little girls from Denmark. Hoho! THANK YOU ♡

Oh, and a second shout-out goes to the staff at MCM. These people are incredibly service-minded and they're super funny! If any of you get the chance, please go there to purchase your MCM stuff! They're SO nice and thoughtful ^__^)/

Thanks for reading, you guys!

Korea has been such a wonderful adventure so far. I've been here for 3 weeks and already have I experienced so much more than I have throughout my entire life on this planet. The thought of going to Korea for a year was scary, intimidating and maybe even a little bit saddening. But my god, has it been the best choice of my life! Korea is beyond amazing.. If you know a bit of basic Korean, definitely come here when you get the chance! It'll be amazing, trust me! You won't regret it ^__^)/

Until next time!

MUCH LOVE
