Obsession with a bunny

I need to clarify in the beginning that I am not a saseang (crazy) fan of dubu bunny, but I do admit that I am obsessed with him. If you feel really uncomfortable, DON’T CONTINUE READING! and you have been warned, this might be a fairly long post.

Firstly, if you follow me on twitter, I tweet about ‘dubu bunny’ pretty often. But sometimes I choose a variety of name for him. Tweets along the line of ‘my sunshine’ ‘you’ ‘ontokki’ ‘my precious little thing’ and when I tweet as though I am in love or have some 花痴 times, that also him. I know I pulled some of my followers away from their studying concentration by mass tweeting about dubu bunny during the reading week which cause some to actually googled what on earth is dubu bunny, a bunny that is that cute? Dear friends, I am damn touched that you guys took my tweets so seriously and I don’t mean to mislead you guys to think that its a really bunny.

Anyways, this dubu bunny is definitely not a bunny (though he does look like a super cute one) but a hallyu (k-pop) star. He is the leader of a boy(male)band known as SHINee. If you don’t know SHINee, it’s fine, I don’t care. But if you wanna know who’s SHINee, google. It mighr help you understand my post a little more… maybe? So, a slight intro…

Stagename: Onew/温流

Name: Lee Jinki

Nickname: Dubu, bunny, ontokki

My personal weakness for him: Onew Condition, Naturally cute and his sunshinee smile.

That’s all you need to know about him and that’s all I will talk about anyways. If you wanna know more, go wiki/google.

 

 

 

 

 

The picture is not my favourite picture of his recent photos, but because I am using livewriter instead of blogger post, I find it more convenient to steal pictures from google than to upload the picture I kop-ed from fansites to a hosting web and here again. Anyways, this is his promo shot in his most recent album and I have to thank god that he was very well covered as compared to his other members saseang fans could make a porn video out of. Google ‘SHINee Sherlock’ to see others promo photos. But do be warned on some obscene pictures though.

Onew or rather SHINee give people the feel and image of FLOWER BOYS or what people say guys that looks like women. Yes, I agree that he does look like a girl with his fair skin, fine features and stuff like that, but he can’t pass off as a girl. I saw him cross-dressed and almost puked. I am happy for that too (at least his isn’t like one of his poor team member who looks really like one when he cross-dress).

When SHINee debuted, they went for the noona (sister/auntie) market and it was pretty successful. Wanna make a quick guess how old he is? 98liner, which makes him 23 this year. He don’t look 23 at all. #Foreveryoung. I am no noona of his, but still I fell for him. Like every other fan, you usually fall for the group before starting to have a bias. I started out liking the group SHINee cause i chance upon a show ‘HELLO BABY’ (can find in youtube) and had a bias toward him after mass spamming of youtube vid and thanks to the Sherlock Cycle promotion.

Onew is your typical korean guy look. I think there was no plastic surgery done on him (hopefully) and is your typical korean guy. Small single-eye lid and very respectful (according to what I saw on youtube though)

This guy has the brightest and most comforting smile I have ever seen. Even when he is just smiling for the sake of smiling and not really happy, I find it comforting. If you find a fake smile bright and comforting, what will a real smile do to you? His smiles make me endured my boring internship and some random emo days.

Onew has a special condition known as Onew Condition. I don’t have a real definition to this, but I do have a personal view on what I consider as Onew Condition. In my own terms, Onew Condition is a kind of random actions done at the most unexpected situations and the ability to be very…. human. His randomness reminds me of Huimin who used to say random stuff (she still do, but not that often, maybe cause I don’t see her often too) and sort of leave her friends at the loss of words. Maybe people like them think very quickly which make the others find it hard to catch what they are saying until the lag time (freeze period) is over. Onew has quick reflexes when it comes to thinking, which makes him survive very well on variety shows that makes even the EMCEEs of the show threatened.

He is a Hallyu Star, stars which gives the image of being wonderful and perfect (illusions that makes people want to become stars and move to fame to). Because Onew is not perfect which make him suffer from Onew Condition. He falls even when walking, and bang his head on the door when entering a room, dash right into the high jump pole cause he didn’t notice it and fall of the stairs when coming down. Things like this are not expected of stars, they don’t commit this kind of stupid jokes and so, it make onew very… human, if I use the analogy correctly.

Because of his condition, he is naturally cute. I don’t need him to act cute (ageyo) to find him cute. To be honest, I don’t like it when he act cute the SHINee way (like putting your two hands to you chin and shrug your shoulder, the buing buing thingy that they always do), it suits the other members but not onew. He is cute just standing there with his randomness and some times his condition. I don’t mean to laugh at him when he falls or stuff like that, but sometime he really falls in the most stupid way, banging head against the door is one and I can’t help but burst out laughing thinking why is this guy so cute?

He is precious. Even though I am no noona of his, I feel protective of him. A leader that looks like a maknae (youngest). He looks vulnerable and innocent but I know clearly that he is now where near the two words. He only appears to be which makes alot of fans for him. Sometimes I feel so protective that I would like to shelter him from the harsh reality of the world, let him live in his own fantasy and keep dreaming.

Why is he dubu bunny? Dubu means toufu in korea, cause he is soft, fair-skin and loves to cover the blanket over his head when sleeping (which somehow I picked up this bad habit again after kicking it) making him like a block of toufu. Bunny is bunny and in korea, people call him ontokki which is Onew+tokki(bunny).  He is a bunny cause of his two front teeth which is slightly protruding and sometimes he hops around and likes to do the ‘act’ sound (you know the sound that you make when you bite your upper and lower teeth together) which made me pick up this bad habit too. Apparently, someone you are obsessed with does affects you alot.

His voice. I am no musician but I got to say his voice is awesome! For ballads. Though far from JJ Lin in terms of his vocals, Onew still has a deep and rich voice, put in some emotions and you get a nice ballad. I especially like it when he sings the songs in English cause at least I know what he is singing. He voice is not my weakness for him for i can live without him singing but still commendable. His vocal range is wide, he sings rock song pretty well too but I got to say his opera sucks but considered good for taking only a few lessons before the performance. It’s all great and nice until he started screaming into the mic when he pull the tone up to the sky at the end.

He is damn talented. He is too random not to be talented. He has a flair for musicals,  variety shows and random talents like spinning a table, imitating donald duck and somehow he always does things well. But its a pity that he is not favoured by his company, miserable. The company does not give him enough chances to explore his talents and interest. I don’t know what is the company doing, he is a live money tree standing infront of you. Multi talented and can cross into any field you what him to. He is not that bad in sports even though he has onew condition, he is not bad in acting though there are great room for improvement, his musical has garnered GREAT reviews and I don’t believe that no other musical producers approached his company for onew to be in their musical, his forever turning mind will make him a great mc. Such multi-talented artiste and you guys still don’t want to exploit? Don’t ever wait till the day comes when the contract have to be renewed and you realised that you will lose him or one day when SHINee is no longer international.

Well, long enough. I know obsession is temporary, but I am still happy and lucky to have know such a guy. He might be totally different from what i portrayed of him from the articles that I have read and the vids I watched but I still want to believe that he is the one that I loved and the image that he gives me is what I am looking for in a boyfriend.

Humorous, caring (small details), filial, a kind of awesomeness classified under Onew Condition.

This is the kind of guy I am looking for, precious, making me want to cherish every moment with him. At this rate, I might end up not have any partner, cause in my eyes, he is perfect and no one is perfect in this world.
