Beanie level: Loan shark with a heart of gold

I found out yesterday that Park Bo-Gum loves Viet Spring Rolls. So, what did we make today? Eat your heart out Bogummy…and I never knew I needed to see him eat them until yesterday. #hyori’sbedandbreakfast

    They are yummy, filling and healthy! i ate a lot one of those with prawns and the vegetarian version during a trip to ho chi minh.. you can find it being sold everywhere in vietnam, even at Cu Chi Tunnel (an open war museum in hcm)

    Ally, your rolls are much better looking and more “Viet” than Bogummy’s!!!!!!
    This dish also features in 2D1N Hwarang special episode, where Yoon Shi Yoon and Minho (Shinee) have a feast, though
    the way they roll are a mess (but funny), nowhere near your rolls!
    You can literally add whatever ingredients you like and roll them with rice paper. I’m glad you like it!

      I been rolling these since childhood so that’s probably why they look so good! Our family is Vietnamese, and so it’s simething we enjoy pretty often. But now I know what to feed PBG if ever he’s in town, 😜!

        Have you tried putting mung bean sprouts into summer rolls? It’s so delicious that way!

        I thought those non fried version rolls are called summer rolls? Cause spring rolls are fried?

        1
        1

          I think it’s a regional semantics difference. English speakers will call this and the fried version both spring rolls in the US and have to make the distinction which one they mean. In Vietnamese there are separate words for them as you know (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gỏi_cuốn).

          1
          2

            Yeah, we use “nem rán” and “nem cuốn” in northern Vietnamese. BTW do you still read Vietnamese? I can read it but really slowly 😅

            I think Ally considers herself as American of 🇻🇳 origins.

            For years, I only saw few k-shows feature Vietnamese food. My favorite is “New Journey to the west 4” where they actually come to Northern Vietnam to try food and interact with locals. Have you watched the show?
            It was nice to know you more, and hope to see more Viet food from you. 😀

    So these are the Viet Spring Rolls. A friend of mine told that her acquaintance makes a business out of this and sell them for a handsome profit. Judging from the portion, it makes sense. 😁

      They were in the top this week! Losing lit a fire under them. His and his team’s part on the show was so good! Watch it! Episode 5! Hoya’s team was first this week and they were amazing too!

        Hoya’s team is amazing, i love it!
        I din know GK’s team were in the top! Watched their clip on yt and GK looks like he’s about to tear up when one judge gave 85 marks. Gosh my heart cannot take the judging.

          [1] Jisung has this thing about him that’s seriously compelling. That kid has a bright future me thinks.
          [2] Who is that Jang Yoon Jun fellow and how is he so good?
          [3] I never really gave Hoya that much attention before, but he has my attention now.
          [4] I love the song choices.

            It may have been @greenfields that shared it. She got me watching this. I have no idea who that other kid is, but he’s ah-ma-zing! And I didn’t know who Hoya was until this show and he’s a favorite already.

            Oops. lol. @greenfields, I’m sorta kinda really interested in checking out the show now.

            @ally-le, I first saw him in Radiant Office and he’s now in Devilish Joy. Both aren’t that great of dramas, but he was good in RO.

I’m loving this song right now. Son Dongwoon is quickly becoming my favorite Highlight vocal. His voice at the bridge at ~2:40 going into the background falsetto at ~2:50 gives me chills! #prelude #Still, Today

    There’s a Beast documentary that shows the beginning of Beast (I forgot the name) and Dongwoon was terrible, to be honest. But he works like a dog and he’s improved 1000 percent. Very happy for him.

    2
    1

      I’m surprised. Everyone says how much he’s improved, but I’ve only ever known him singing this way. I really like the clarity in his voice and how warm it is at the lower registers. In When the Door Closes, I prefer his voice to Doojoon’s as well.

Anyone missing Gong Yoo’s face? He’s been doing lots of commercials, and here’s a compilation. But what made me do a double take was the first one, with my favorite misunderstood step sister from Let’s Eat 3!

11

    And what face.

    2
    1

      Honestly I was saying the other day that he must be dying inside. I don’t know how many CFs he’s done since Goblin but his face is like on everything 😀 He’s a brilliant actor but his smiles became more and more forced lately. I think he’s fed up with those CFs himself so he needs to return to a drama or film ASAP.

      4
      1

        I guess that’s a perk for me not being exposed to his CFs or magazine work he won’t seem overexposed.

        2
        1

    The second CF where he’s catching a train was shot in Prague 😭😭😭 But I guess even if I knew he had been in Prague I’d be too shy to even stalk him 😄

    Oh, that face and that eyes, why I ship him with any girls? I just want him date or married

      Same, girl. You would think with as many women he works with…and men…I really don’t care who he’s with, as long as he’s happy!

KPop infiltration step one complete. I successfully hijacked the sound system at the pool tonight, finding out that they use Pandora playlists for the music and stealthily changing it to Kpop hits. And the second song was this one, which I actually knew! #kpopeducation #superjunior #losiento

      Thanks for the heads up. I watched it this morning getting ready for work, and had to compose myself before putting on my eyeliner! He was tearing up too. Oh, to tag someone, use the @ and then their name. A list of Beanies should pop up as you’re typing the name. Sometimes their @name is actually a different one, but their avatar and two handles for the same person should pop up so just make sure you’ve chosen the right one.

Y’all made it. This will be my last Highlight post for a while. The elusive Doo-joon solo. He’s just so gosh-darn affable, even during his concerts. You feel like he’s just being himself. The smiles he gives to the other dancers, so cute. #allhighlightallthetime #kpopeducation#whereareyounow?

    I’ve watched a few of these videos you have posted, and besides the great music they are creating, what stands out the most for me is how Doo-joon and the others seems to be just plain enjoying themselves in these performances. Those smiles aren’t faked or choreographed.

      This is one of the reasons they’re so loved among the idol world. They’re known for being really nice and genuine with both sunbaes and hoobaes. When they created their own company, many of the staff that worked for Cube decided to pack their things and go with them…that says a lot!

      their solo songs in their 2016 Beautiful Show concert were unreleased songs. JH’s,Seobie’s & GK’s were included in their respective recent solo albums. So I was hoping we were getting this Dujun solo in digital release. Maybe in their next album.

      There was no complete Beautiful Show DVD for 2016 unlike in their previous ones. Cube released Concert video only in Korea over a channel, can’t remember if it online or cable.

        Ally (@ally-le) better late than never. You have 9 years of discography and other content to discover while they’ll be on hiatus for their conscription.

      Thanks for tagging me! I have seen him do this song but just in a fan cam. I have been following Highlight for about five years now. DuJun totally won my heart in Let’s Eat 1. They all just seem like such good guys. I am so proud of all they have accomplished. I hope they are able to continue to be successful after they come back from the military. I will be waiting!

          Ally, I’m both touched and anxious with your words. But thank you.

          Whenever I post about Highlight and their music, I’m usually worried if I’ve come across as too pushy or dramatic. And even get surprised how long I’ve typed already. I guess I’m extra passionate about them.

Any new Highlight fans out there yet? This subtitled video from their Fashion Week Promo last year is all kinds of endearing. There’s a line from this song that says “today will be yesterday” which Doo-joon sings. How appropriate to think that his service commitment will be “yesterday” just as quickly. #allhighlighallthetime#kpopeducation#todaywillbeyesterday

    What I love about watching this video is looking at their happy faces…look at those smiles!! <3 (also, this is the dance I'm currently learning ^^)
