While I started this blog mainly to write reviews, every so often, I get inspired to try something new. A fair amount of the time, it’s conversations on the blog itself that serve as the impetus. And that is totally the case today.
Not long ago, I posted my Master’s Sun review, and wrote this throwaway line about consuming the drama together with the fanfic:
“When the drama’s consumed together with the fanfic, though, they go together like strawberries and cream, or peanut butter and jelly, or Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jong Suk, or Song Seung Hun and abs, or.. (you get the idea). You could have one without the other, but having them together just takes everything to a whole new level. Amiright?”
And then today, I woke up to this comment from blog regular Asotss:
“You are soooooooo right ! Ah Song Seung Hun… Too bad his talent doesn’t measure up [to] his bodyliciousness. Could we still hope for a KLove Confession post, just for the photoshoots that only you can dig up ?”
That’s when inspiration struck. Besides Asotss, a couple of other readers and blogging friends have also commented appreciatively on my Googling skills. I guess Google and I get along particularly well; Google’s shown me more than a few particularly lovely photos of my k-loves, after all.
Still, because Song Seung Hun doesn’t quite fall into k-love territory for me, I’m creating a whole new series.
Introducing… Pure Pretty! Y’know. Where it’s all about The Pretty. 😉
Urban Zakapa – Let It Rain
To be honest, Song Seung Hun’s been on my radar for a long time. The moment I saw him in Autumn in my Heart, I thought he was cute. Sure, his acting wasn’t great, but I was rather taken with his strong, angular features.
Then I saw him in Summer Scent. And then My Princess. By then, I was convinced of the truth that we all know: Oppa really doesn’t have a whole lot of acting ability. But he tries. Sometimes too hard.
Aw. Poor Oppa.
On the upside, though, Oppa is Pretty. Very, very pretty. And that’s what we’re gonna celebrate today: the Song Seung Hun Pretty.
Let me just say that when I started this Googling experiment today, I didn’t have a single photo of Song Seung Hun in my possession. Which means that these, folks, are all hot off Google, specially selected for your gazing pleasure. 😉
As always, I’ve categorized my finds, all the easier for us to.. savor. Heh.
Sweet ‘n Preppy:
It can’t be denied that Oppa cleans up real nice, and when he’s in preppy togs, bearing flowers or a ring, he really does look like the kind of guy you’d want to bring home to meet the parents.
Cool ‘n Contemplative:
With that gorgeous bone structure, Oppa photographs particularly beautifully when he looks lost in thought.
Sharply Suited:
Y’all know how I appreciate a man in a sharp suit, and Oppa doesn’t disappoint. Here he is, all handsome and suited up.
Casual Laid-back:
One of my favorite kinds of photos, these casual laid-back shots make me feel like Oppa could be the guy next door, just hangin’ out and chillin’.. Y’know, if it’s normal for the guy next door to look this handsome and this hot. *cough*
Scruffy:
Oppa also looks great when he’s scruffed up. Somehow, the more scruffed up he is, the sexier he looks. If only we could all look this good when we’re scruffy, right?
Sporty:
Given that Oppa’s physique is pretty much what he’s most known for, it should be no surprise that he rocks the sporty look. That body takes work to maintain, right?
Shirtless:
And after all the effort he’s put in, isn’t it only right that we take a moment – or several – to.. admire Oppa’s body of work? Ahem.
Close-up Pretty:
In the face of the plethora of shirtless pix, let it not be said that we ignored Oppa’s other worthy features. He’s beautiful close-up too.
Cozy, Snuggly, Undone:
Perhaps even more than the shirtless pix, I like these ones, where Oppa’s all cozy. Or a little bit undone. Rawr.
So Oppa may not be a very talented nor skilled actor, but he sure is pretty, isn’t he?
And now he’s going to put all of The Pretty to work, in his upcoming movie Human Addiction (aka Obsessed). Where Oppa will get to look glorious in uniform. And, er, out of it too. *cough*
Go ahead and be awesome, Oppa. We’re all rooting for you! Fighting! *fist pump*
Also, thanks for the Pretty. We appreciate it very, very much.
