Morrissey X KPOP

 "... heaven knows i'm miserable now"

Trawling through the music shows last week I found a pretty disturbing sight.

One of Brave Girls wearing a Smiths T-shirt.

It got more disturbing when I clicked play... the videos been removed now but here's their performance from another show. picture the inclusion of the Smiths t-shirt and then there's the braids with beret, man apparently called "skull" with dreadlocks, a lots of hotpants, greased legs and the reggae beat. *shudder* and this is what Brave Brothers come up with for their own girl group?!? shame on them. (but I forgive them,  with thanks for all their  wonderful work with U-Kiss and so many other ridiculously catchy k-pop songs and the overuse of the "ayyyy!" sound effect)

Anyway, Morissey in K-pop, it was unexpected, but writhing to slow reggae jams on that girls chest with some customised fringing  is not where I want to see him. I don't think he'd want to see himself there either.

A week later and I see Morrissey somewhere far more acceptable, on the chest of the Almighty Key co-ordinated with his lace up legged girl's Cheap Monday jeans and a Wonder Woman bracelet...

this time... PERFECT.

"you handsome devil"

I may be fickle, hypocritical and overly harsh in my dislike of non Jamaican people who like reggae too much or those who ever made the grave mistake of sporting dreadlocks... but that's just how it is. Key however, can do whatever the hell he wants.

deal with it.

That's who it is!

I have long been observing Infinite's maknae Sungjong closely in an attempt to ascertain which other male idol it is that he reminds me of.

But I don't just mean in terms of looks, as that would probably be a more successful search should I peruse the numerous girl bands proliferating the K-pop scene. As Bunny mentioned in her post about 'best cross-dressed' Dongjun, there were genuine questions as to Sungjong's natural sex at the time of his debut. Rather, what I was looking for was more of a personality match, another boy that I'm already well aware of, and that he totally reminds me of. But I just couldn't put my finger on it.

It is common knowledge that Sungjong loves to impersonate girl band dances - it is his forte. He doesn't care if he's at sports day or recording on the radio. And I thought for a short time that it may be SHINee's Key that he reminds me of. But he is not sassy enough to be like Key. Not quite. And then I thought he was maybe a bit like Kevin from U-KISS. But somehow Kevin is just that much camper than Sungjong, who just seems more like a sweet young boy most of the time. Then, could it be Kwanghee? No way, he resides way too much in a world of his own to even have comparisons made to any other living beings. Take that comment as you will. As does Super Junior's Heechul ♥ who is on a whole other level.

Today, however, I finally realised who it is - how could I have been so blind - and I am kicking myself. Of course, it's none other than 2AM's Jo Kwon!!! Just look at this, where Sungjong tempts Jo Kwon up with a flick of the finger to join him in dancing to Hyuna's Bubble Pop - what a pair of divas!

It all makes sense now. Case closed! I think it's something to do with their facial expressions whilst dancing, and the precision of their moves. Whatever it is, I am relieved to have made the connection finally.



As a bonus, here is one of my favourite ever Sungjong "cross-dressing" dances.

Note that is was his normal hair - no wig - as he is only wearing a coat, which technically could be unisex...
