23 Reasons to Love U-KissNote: This was written before NHM announced their idiocy to the world and kicked out both Kibum and Xander. We both still fully support U-Kiss (the 5 remaining members, the new member being added in for the comeback, Kibum and Xander). Hate the company, support the artists, even if it means that NHM is still making money off the fans.
1. Their music
dizzy_grace says: It’s very good. A little heavy on the autotuning during choruses, but the boys can sing and rap. If you’re not a fan of autotuning, like me, check out their earlier stuff like
“Talk to Me”
renichifreak says: I love their songs. They’re just so
catchy and
rough, and that’s something that everyone needs to hear~
2. Kiseop was in the Not Young MV, so really they were always together
dizzy_grace says: You can spot him interacting with Kibum
around 2:50.3. Fantastic bodies
dizzy_grace says: Between the arms and abs they’ll probably have you staring in no time. I mean, even
Kevin has abs now and that was thought impossible. It helps that
Kibum and
Kiseop like to take their shirts off.
No, really.
They honestly do. Legitimately
THIS is the reason I started paying attention to U-Kiss.
renichifreak says: With the exceptions of
Kibum and Kiseop, they rarely
flash their
abs, so it’s one of those rare times when you flip at the sight of
skin. And
DAMN, do they make you flip…><
4. Pops in Seoul
dizzy_grace says: Xander, Eli and Kevin being dorks.
It’s mostly an excuse to goof off and so much fun because of it.
renichifreak says: Between Kevin’s aegyo, Xander’s oddness, and Eli, well…being Eli, this makes for some
great watching.
5. Soohyun’s voice
dizzy_grace says: He makes me
swoon. No joke. Few men can do that with just their voice, but he does.
renichifreak says:
*________* That is all
6. Kevin and Dongho make pretty girls
dizzy_grace says: No, really. They’re
gorgeous girls and are
prettier than me when they put on a wig and start dancing to girl groups.
renichifreak says: It’s
not fair that they make prettier girls than I do
7. They’re all addicted to Twitter
dizzy_grace says: No, really. They’re on their all the time. Kiseop even managed to crash his car because he was tweeting. And then he
tweeted about it. Xander had an
identity crisis.
Seriously. And came up with
Xandernese. But honestly, check out all their twitters.
@90KKB,
@KevinWoo91,
@alexander_0729,
@KiSSeop91,
@u_kisseli,
@ukissSH,
@Dongho94,
@thsgoku (that's Hoon)
renichifreak says: It's not often that you come across celebs
fearing that they're pregnant over twitter, and especially not when it's a guy...Xander, of course, was the exception to that one.
8. Selcaing
dizzy_grace says: With a
famous ulzzang in
the group (Kiseop) it’s not much of a surprise that they selca. Constantly.
Their love affair with
twitter assists with this because they
post their
selcas all the time.
renichifreak says: and
Kibum and
Kiseop seem to like
flashing their
abs for the
camera and KISS-Mes all over the world~
9. PiroPiro
dizzy_grace says:
Kibum and
Hyungjoon’s character and side business. The
U-Kiss boys like to
whore it
around and Soohyun even put it on
2PM’s Junho when they won at one of the music shows. But really, it’s always showing up. Somewhere.
renichifreak says:
I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!10. Vampire
dizzy_grace says: U-Kiss’s first experience with… a lot of things. The first time they lived in a dorm, the first time 4 of them went out on a date, the first time they took care of zoo animals, and other things. More importantly, it’s epically hilarious and the entire thing is subbed on
YouTube.
renichifreak says: Kiseop making a break for it when he was forced to go on a scary as hell ride and the Type O’s carried him back - literally
11. They legit lost to elementary school kids in a knowledge contest
dizzy_grace says: This happened during Vampire, but is worth a separate mention.
They had a contest against elementary school kids to see who could spell better and who knew their sayings better. The elementary school kids won. And also proved slightly more mature than U-Kiss.
12. Limbo
dizzy_grace and
renichifreak say: Another
Vampire moment worthy of a separate mention. Check out Eli’s cheating, Kibum’s cat pose, the skinship and Dongho claiming he won… after he lost.
13. They were kidnapped… and most didn’t care
dizzy_grace says: The Infinity Girls were given the task of kidnapping U-Kiss. Watching for their reactions is a must. Also, Eli gets kidnapped twice, but the second time he is much happier about it. Unfortunately, it was taken off YouTube, so you’ll have to download
parts 1 and 2 to watch.
renichifreak says: Kibum hiding in the car park begging to be let inside and Dongho asking to be tied up only added to the hilarity
14. Xander’s identity crisis
dizzy_grace says: Xander is Korean, Portugese and Chinese. This led to
a slight identity crisis in which
he decided that he is Xandernese from Xanderland. We’re not kidding. It all happened on twitter.
15. Loyal Kiss Mes and their love for them
renichifreak says: A fan fainted at a fanmeet and
Soohyun remained by her side until he was positive that she was alright. While I’m sure many would be worried, Soohyun went a step further, which I found very moving.
dizzy_grace and
renichifreak say:
Awwww16. Super amazing reactions to being #2 on Oricon
dizzy_grace says: These boys, being underrated, haven’t exactly won any awards so when they found out they were
ranked #2 on Oricon’s daily chart they broke down into tears and had a
hugging fest because they were so happy.
renichifreak says: any group that would
cry like that over #2
deserves to be #1...just sayin’
17. Ask Xander
dizzy_grace says: Watch the video and you will understand.
It is epic.
renichifreak says: make sure you’re sitting down when you watch~
18. Dongho Aegyo
dizzy_grace says:
Maknae has been in the business since he was
itty bitty. He’s
beyond adorable.
renichifreak says:
cutest eye smiles ever19. Skinship
dizzy_grace says: The boys love it. And
indulge in it
often. Plus,
Kibum’s equal opportunity and will take the opportunity to
molest or
be molested by all of the other members. But the
others are
big on it, too, and it even gets
incorporated into their
choreography.20. Kiseop’s dancing
dizzy_grace and
renichifreak say: We personally vote for Kiseop being allowed to dance shirtless as much as possible.
The dance break in Shut Up is a very good example of why that is.21. Xander’s fail Korean
dizzy_grace says: Poor baby knows too many languages for his own good. He’s fluent in 7 and started learning an 8th. However, this leads to him being
incredibly confused on a regular basis while also
confusing everyone else with his attempts at Korean.
22. Only One Photoshoot
dizzy_grace says:
We’ll just let you look at the pictures to see why this is a reason to love U-Kiss. Trust me,
you'll want all of these.
renichifreak says:
This photoshoot seriously feeds biases, pairings, or just their love for seeing pretty boys all over each other. It's a must-see for every Kiss-Me.23. End of the Road
dizzy_grace says: The boys are fond of singing it and we, personally, are very fond of listening to it. Here’s just the
audio so you can hear it properly and here’s a
fancam of them performing it.
renichifreak says: next to the original by Boyz II Men, this is the best rendition I have ever had the pleasure of hearing
Honorable Mention
Kitty!KibumThis technically happened when Kibum was in Xing, but
renichifreak and
dizzy_grace are extremely biased so have some Kitty!Kibum in
gif,
jpeg and
video form. :D
