Kpop September Haul and Kpop News

          This blog is going to be a mix of Kpop news and Kpop haul for this month. I want to start with the Kpop haul first. 

EXO PRESENT:

          Previously EXO had put out a Photobook called Gift, well now they have graced us with this new Photobook called Present. 

The book is very sturdy and I love that it lays flat when you open it to look at the pictures. This is great for when you see a picture that is extended into the opposite page. The pictures were taken on their trip to Hawaii. 

It also comes with two pictures in plastic covering with the boys split into two groups, 4 in each picture.

 Look at those two army buddies sitting together. I miss them both. 

The picture book is gorgeous and it shows the playfulness and the beauty of all the members in the pictures. 

EXO-SC:

I know what you are thinking...didn’t you already show us this album...yes but this is the Kihno Version. (Yes I’m obsessed with my babies, I feel like a proud mom so let me be). 

I got both versions available of course because why not and who needs to eat anyway :-p

I think I only have two complaints...well one and a half. The full complaint is that the booklet that comes with each album will not stay flat unless I break the spine and that might make the pages come out. And my half complaint is that I didn’t get a Chanyeol card. But it isn’t a full complaint because I got an extra Sehun one. 

SUPER M: 

This new/old group is going to debut next month and I have tons to say about it so it will be getting a blog of its own later on. They will be debuting in October.

Chen’s Second Mini Album - Dear, My Dear: 

Next month is going to be a really busy one with a lot of my favorite groups and individuals making a comeback. Chen is the one I am really looking forward too.  I’ve already pre-ordered the album in its two versions and after hearing the teasers....Chen always delivers!!!!

Check out the two Highlight Medleys he has already put out and the teaser MV. They will all give you chills...that voice...that voice. It doesn’t hurt that he is handsome too. 

Now look at some of these beautiful concept photos!!!

This interview was dropped today (the day the blog was posted):

ATEEZ - Full Album: 

Ateez will be having a comeback in October as well. With a full album this time and from what I can see it is the final episode to their Treasure series. It is called All to Action.

October is also going to be their first anniversary hence the below posters. It is going to be an event that will take place on that day.

The tracklist has been released.

I think they pull off this look so dang well!! The album will be released on October 8, 2019. I've already pre-ordered my albums.

Two teasers were dropped today (on the day this blog was posted) so here they are:

HONGJOONG’s teaser

SEONGHWA’s teaser

SUPER JUNIOR - Time Slip: 

Super Junior will also be having a comeback! 

I love the look of these posters! Their album will be released on October 14, 2019.

The track list was dropped today (on the day this is posted) so here it is!

EXO NEWS:

Recently on a live, Baekhyun was talking about his activities for SuperM but he also let slip that the EXO members are starting to record songs for their comeback. No date that I know of has been set. I’m leaving you with pictures of EXO members from their various solo activities!

EXO -Lay:

Lay released this song on September 9th on Weibo. He didn't even advertise it on his Instagram.
It is a beautiful song and very poignant one.

Listen to this beautiful love song while you look at his beautiful profile...

Inspire Me Korea - K-Fashion Box

          This box has a story. It was supposed to arrive last month but it never did. I contacted the curators of the box and they investigated then sent me a replacement and this is what I love about Inspire Me Korea. They are sweet, very helpful and always answer questions promptly. Their customer service is top notch. Now on to the content of the box. 

          I was very surprised when I opened the box and there was no mask sheet but then I looked closely and found out why. There was four small tubes of toothepaste instead. The toothepaste is by a Korean brand called First Salt. The toothepaste is called Grey Salt. It is supposed to be very good for your teethe and gums. I’m really looking forward to trying them out. They were one of the things I looked forward too in the box. 

          Next thing to come out of the box was the glasses. I think they look really cute and I’m kind of wondering if I should give them away to a young cousin or add prescription lenses to them and keep them as a spare for myself. I need to have a think 😬 

          The choker necklace with the silver triangle is an accessory that I probably can’t wear because it is a little too small for me so I’m going to give it away to one of the younger cousins whom I know loves this sort of thing. He’ll be very excited to get it I’m sure.

          I REALLY love the hair clips. They are exactly the type that I like to wear and they are sturdy enough to stay put in my hair. I’ve already worn them a couple of times and they look really cute. 

          Next up is the snacks. I got two this time. One is something I’ve eaten previously by Lotte and the other is something new. I’m going to try them out soon (if I haven’t already by the time I publish this blog). 

          Finally, the two things that I would totally miss if they were ever missing from the box. I’m pretty much flexible on anything but these two items. The first is the Magazine which always has amazing information on the culture of Korea and what is going on in each month and the second is the language card which I always learn from and apply to my studies. 

          As usual, when it comes to Inspire Me Korea I am never disappointed by their offerings and their customer service.
