Hyori gives designing a try

Pop star Hyori is designing her own T-shirt. And I use the word “designing” loosely.

The shirt is to commemorate her upcoming concert(s) on the 19th and 20th (her first since going solo) and will be presented to all the concertgoers as an expression of Hyori’s appreciation. And when I raise a skeptical eyebrow to the labeling of Hyori as a designer, it’s not just because that T-shirt is fugly, but because the shirt is really just a sketch version of her third-album promotional “Hyorish” poster anyway, which she did not design.

I mean, fine, we all know that stars like to flaunt their artsy hobbies, whether it’s through cooking, or
singing (or singing, or singing some more, or rapping), or writing (fiction, essays, or *cough*allegedly* nonfiction), or photography, or songwriting, or other artistic endeavors (sketchbooks, crafts, and paintings). And so on and so forth.

But sometimes these things don’t correlate to actual artistic talent so much as they are lame promotional gimmicks or vanity exercises. Then again, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised; this is Hyori, whose success has never had anything to do with originality.

It's just one of those gaudy souvenir stuff from concerts. I didn't take this news too seriously when I first heard it.

But what did surprise me is that this is her first solo concert. Seriously, it seems like she's been around forever. Then again, she's not much of a productive singer seeing as how she only has a few albums out. Kpop stars these days seem to churn out at least one concert a year.

This cultural skit has been brought to you by Nike, making shoebras in Korea since 2008!

The vanity falls in the bottomless abyss called empty.
When she will see in the distance, the human humility, she can only regret for lost time.

lol, 'whose success has never had anything to do with originality.' bullseye.

Hyori is great or whatever in variety shows where she shows that she's fun, she's down to earth, she's hilarious, etc. But when it comes to talent, work, arts, all she's really got in the end is just boobs and slutty dancing. Sex does sell.

BTW, FRESH RAMEN??? LMFAO..

Nobody is perfect.
although hyori has no talents in singing, arts, work....
her great personality fills her lacking talents.

just ask yourself if she has nothing special why is she on her top for the last 10 years, why did she become the queen of korean pop, she's the highest paid female artist.

if she´s that bad. why do the nice actors like daniel henney,lee jun ki and other celebrities like Uhm jung hwa, eric, hye sung, kangta, lee soo young, MC yoo jae suk, kim jae dong like her, they all love her.

it´s because she´s so nice and sweet in real life, seems like you don´t know much about Lee Hyori, so STOP writing those funny things about her if you don´t like her.

^ It's her blog, she can write whatever she wants.. YOU, however, don't have to read it.

I was reading the T-shirt and was hoping to spot a spelling error. LOL

True. It's Javabeans' blog.

Maybe it's her management and PR's fault, but come on, DESIGNING HER OWN SHIRT? Where's the design? At least she's not charging for it? "presenting to concert goers"

@Sharon-So you're basically admitting that Javabean's criticism is right? "this is Hyori, whose success has never had anything to do with originality."

@sharon: I don't see why you are mad. You agreed with Dramabeans that she has no talent ...

"Nobody is perfect.
although hyori has no talents in singing, arts, work….
her great personality fills her lacking talents."

She is in an intertainment where talent requires for success. Just because of personality and you are saying that she is in the top isn't that basically based on something other than talent?

It's good to defend for your idol but there is also others who don't like her. If you call other haters and base on your tone, it doesn't seem like you can quite distinguish yourself from that word.

It kind of bugs me when people use the excuse, "The artist has a good personality so it doesn't matter if they have talent or not." I completely agree with the person above saying that these stars are in the ENTERTAINMENT business; what's the point of being a singer if you can't sing? I like Hyori because she's funny, but that's it. I can't comment on her singing, dancing, or acting, because she can't do any of those very well.

The shirt is ugly period. I would never want to put something like that on myself, not to mention walking down on the street...uhhh nooo even if it free.

And I agree with you dramabean. Whatever Hyori does is anything but originality. I don't get why people like her so much. Yes, I do watch Family Outing and agree that she seem pretty down to earth but in the showbiz, personality is not everything. If a nice personality can get you on top in any kind of occupation then hell, a lot of nice people would be rich right now.

@sharon: You obviously have much to learn about commentary, wit, and sarcasm. There is a stark contrast between malicious unintelligent insults and dramabean's blog.

It's not too great of a t-shirt, but if she's giving it out for free to those attending her concert, I guess its a nice gesture :) I would wear virtually anything Big Bang gave me.
(Still haven't totally forgiven Hyori for the TOP-kissing :P)

I love this blog!!....everywhere else seems to LUV this Lee Hyori..

"Whatever Hyori does is anything but originality." <<<< this is what I've been saying about this chic all along...I truly, honestly think she is way overrated. Without her "sexy image" (uhh more like trampy image but thats just me) she'd be just blah...seriously and most of koreas young girls idolize her??

Korean entertainment industry puts too much emphasis on outer appearances and that is just wrong...the Kcelebrities seem to focus on their images rather than their so called talents (esp the Kpop idols)
