Spazz Saturday #14 | G-Dragon Hailed as Best Dressed Celebrity of 2012

2012 proves to be a year of achievements for G-Dragon. This time, he earned the recognition of being the Best Dressed Celebrity of the Year. In a poll conducted by the Chosun Ilbo, 25 fashion designers and stylists were asked who they felt were the leading trendsetters of the year. The top 15 advanced to the second round of voting, where the top 10 were decided.

G-Dragon, the leader of world renowned group Big Bang, came first with 10 votes. Establishing himself as a fashionista early in his career, he is known for his wide range of styles, from street fashion to luxury, and is said to be capable of making any piece of clothing his own.

In second place is actress Ko Joon Hee, getting six votes for being sophisticated and bold. Experts said that she makes clothes look more beautiful with her well-proportioned body, and she knows how to create her own style without the aid of stylists.

Sharing the third spot  are actor Song Joong-ki and actress Kim Nam-joo with five votes each. Song looked neat and trim in the film “A Werewolf Boy” and TV drama “The Innocent Man,” which suited his natural and subtly edgy image. Kim, who appeared in KBS soap “My Husband Got a Family”, created a buzz with the clothes she wore to the set. Experts praised her improved fashion sense and attention to detail when matching her clothes to the occasion.

Actress Ko So-young, who still appears in commercials for cosmetics, clothing and fashion accessories after childbirth, and actress Jung Ryeo-won, who looked natural in unique outfits on TV drama, shared fifth place with four votes each. Both pay a lot of attention to matching accessories and bags to their body shape and clothes.

Actors Gong Yoo and Yoo Ah In, who both worked on TV dramas this year, received three votes each and came in seventh. Both actors love trying on different clothes and know what suits them, both.

Ninth place was shared by rapper Psy and actors Ryoo Seung Bum and Jang Dong Gun. According to the experts, Ryoo knows how to maintain his own style in both the public and private sphere, while Jang is very versatile when it comes to styling. As for Psy, he “is the only male celebrity who know what to do with tuxedoes.”

Gangnam Show postponed | Oppa not coming to Manila?

Psy’s Manila concert will not push through as scheduled.

In a statement made by Ovation Productions, logical issues were cited as the reason for postponement. The concert will be bumped off by two months, and will be rescheduled to February 2013. Dubbed as “The Gangnam Show”, the concert was originally set on Thursday, December 20, at the SM Mall of Asia.

First uploaded in July on YouTube, the music video for Gangnam Style now has the most number of views on the video-sharing site. With already 900 million views, the music video has also been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the ‘Most Liked Video on YouTube.’

Spazz Saturday #7 | Super Junior!!!

Forget the 2013 Senatorial elections.
What matters most to me now is that Super Junior win the Best Asia Act in this year's MTV Europe Music Awards (EMA).

They're up against other popular Asian acts, including Exile of Japan and Han Geng of China, who (quite ironically) is a former member of Super Junior.

Last year, Exile was one of the top contenders for the same spot. However, Kpop still reigned supreme as Big Bang won the Best Asia Act. They went on to bag the Best Worldwide Act at the 2011 MTV EMA.

This year, the MTV Europe Music Awards will be held in Frankfurt, Germany. The awards night will take place on November 11, 2012.

I've been voting like crazy for the past few days, and I'm hoping all my fellow ELFs and KPop fans are doing the same, too. Let's bring the boys to the top, and get them the recognition and honor they truly deserve! Vote for Super Junior here!

Oh, and our PSY Oppa is nominated for Best Video! This category isn't open for public voting, but I'm pretty sure we have this one in the bag. Fingers crossed! :)

Hey, it's Saturday! Who you spazzin' at? 

Spazz Saturday #3 | Gangnam Style!

Welcome to week three of Spazz Saturday!
Apologies for last week's absence, and the week before that, too. The past two weekends had been crazy! Speaking of crazy...

Unless you've been living under a rock, then I'm pretty sure you've seen or heard about 'Gangnam Style' - PSY's single that has taken the entire planet by storm.

'Gangnam Style' is a Korean colloquial term that refers to the luxurious lifestyle associated with the rich and famous residents of Gangnam district - the most upscale and affluent part of Seoul. Think of it as 'swag' or 'yolo' in English slang.

Released last July 15, the song was written and recorded as the title single of the sixth studio album PSY 6 (Six Rules), Part 1 and became the talk of the town among Kpop fans as soon as its video was released on YouTube. The video became viral, and went on to become an international sensation.

This overwhelming popularity paved the way for PSY's international stardom - this includes PSY's expansion in the United States, plus his U.S. debut appearance at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. PSY also gained the interest of many Hollywood top honchos, including Justin Bieber's manager, Scott Braun. To date,  PSY is now part of SchoolBoy Records, where he recently signed a contract with.

And just in case you haven't seen the video yet, here it is. See why the world has gone nuts over PSY's 'Oppa Gangnam Style'. :)
