DIY: Korean Hair Bun

 

 

  

 

          

Instructions:

1: Grab your hair and put it in a ponytail high on your head. Don`t tie it! Just put your elastic on your right hand.
2: Start twisting your hair into a bun.
3: Are you twisting it good? ^^ It should look like those cinnamon roll,lol.
4: After, make it in a circle shape keeping the twist in place.
5: Tie it with your elastic that you have on.
6: Tie it around twice, and make it loose. Fix it to fit your satisfaction. ^^
7: On both sides, pull out some hair (not a lot) so it looks natural.

If your hair twist/bun is loose, use bobby pins to hold it.

Painting of The Real Queen Seon Deok

    Eventhough the Korean historical drama of the first queen of Silla who led the unification of old Korea (Silla, Goguryeo, and Baekje), Queen Seon Deok has finished airing in Korea for a while. International fans are now getting to appreciate the making of this series, especially getting to know the first brave female ruler of ancient Korea.

     I’ve just found a very interesting document which is the painting that is believed to be the actual Queen Seon Deok painted by a monk.  It was found in a temple in Jeju island which is called Seon Deok Sa located in Halla San’s eastern slope.

    

     This painting is believed to probably be the historical Seon Deok Yeo Wang (Goodness-Virtue Queen) of Silla who reigned during 632-647. The Queen hadgreat influence in Korean Buddhism as she strongly promoted, Buddhism, the new foreign religion at that era. She sponsored the foundation of many great temples in the current Gyeongsang and Gangwon provinces.

Him:Leader 4D, Her:Tecktonik Dance Queen

Hyun Joong: Leader 4D

      Hyun Joong’s 4D character defines as the unique ways of thinking, speaking and doing out of usual 3D world. Fans well realized this mostly by the reality We Got Married which he acted and responded as he was. The  4D term really describes his wits and talents. Because of this reason that made everyone fall for him, he then got the roll in Korean version of Hana Yori Dango, “Boys Over Flowers” as the picture perfect Yoon Ji Hoo.

     As for me, I like his actual beings as seen in WGM and most shows a lot better ’cause that’s real him. Hyun Joong really gains a lot of fans in various age gaps because in WGM he really showed his possitive attitude of having a lover who is a lot older. He’s young but the fact is that elder ladies find comfort with his lifestyles. They feel they could propably release the childish soul with him.


 

 
Hwangbo: Teckntonik Dance Queen 

      Thanks to WGM, Hwangbo gets a lot of international fans due to her mannerism and straight-forward character. Fans got to know the new kind of dance “Tecktonik” in some episodes.

     Tecktonik, known as TCK or electrodance, is a frenetic and quirky street dance which  is typically performed in Electro House.  It is a form of dance based on a form of hiphop and teckno originated from Metropolis nightclub in Paris. Tecktonik styles also borrown heavily from cyberpunk and the music Tecktonik  usually danced to its predominatly about arm movement, jumpstyle, hardstyle and hardcore.

     Hwangbo is popular for being one of the first artists to introduce the unique “tecktonik” to South Korea shown in her album, Get Hot. The dance really suits with her personal active looks.
