HEADLINE 18TH: 5 PIECES’ HANNAH SPOTTED IN SWEDEN

On Sunday the 16th it was announced by SM Entertainment that 5 Pieces’ Hannah would go to Sweden for a few days due to family issues. Without any more explanations, fans have been fast to wonder what kind of issues it would be, though the fans in Sweden were just going crazy by the thought of a Piece heading to Sweden. Though Hannah hasn’t updating her twitter account, there are fans in Sweden that have spotted Hannah meeting Maria’s sister, being on the bus and walking around in the city of her hometown. Here below is pictures and text taken from a fan-account for all fans curious of what Hannah has been up to for the short visit so far.

The person who has written lives in 5 Pieces’ hometown, she goes to school in another city but for the winter break she is currently in the hometown and this is what she writes about 5 Pieces’ Hannah;

‘First of all, people calling 5 Pieces rude are totally insane because I have met Hannah and she is the most adorable person on earth. My friend and I were strolling around in the city, looking around like crazy hoping to catch a glimpse of the magnae we all love. Around lunchtime on Monday we saw her for the first time! We were walking around outside when my friend pointed at this blonde haired girl who was walking in a thick winter jacket with the hood up over her head so it wasn’t really easy to see her face but my friend thought it was her so we walked after her a bit before daring to step up to her. And she was so pretty! I mean, no make-up at all and her eyes were like super clear and she was so pretty that I swear it was like watching a perfect person so I almost stopped breathing… We asked her if she was 5 Pieces Hannah because, you know, it’s weird to start off otherwise, and she was so cute when saying she is Hannah and omg I think I lost my mind.

We asked her for how long she will stay in Sweden and she said she would go back on Wednesday (sadly, she is in Sweden for just three days!) and she then apologized to us because she had to go meet a friend. Sadly for her, we followed her… But here comes the real information guys;

Hannah went to a bookstore, and we found out that Maria’s sister actually works there! If Maria also came to Sweden, we would’ve thought it was Maria she was meeting up with because Maria and her sister look like twins, seriously. But Hannah was in there for over an hour; standing by the counter to talk to Maria’s sister (they talked so much, like nonstop, it was really cute to see how close they are) and whenever it came a lot of customers Hannah would walk around in the bookstore. And when people say that this girl like books, they are not kidding! Hannah was so interested in the books that she was totally clueless about us sneaking around in the store too, so we actually were really close which you can see in the pictures below and even caught what books she was looking at. One fun part during this bookstore episode is that Hannah was even looking at her own book; she looked so amazed and was smiling prettily. And yes, I got tempted to buy a second copy of it just to ask her for an autograph…

With Maria’s sister, Hannah went to eat lunch at McDonalds. I seriously thought with that body of hers she couldn’t eat fast food so it felt like a blessing to see her eat there. At first we were too scared to follow inside, but lurking outside the window was worse so we left a while to let them have some privacy. Though we lost them after that -.-’

.

PART 2!

‘The creepy fan couple has done it again! We actually found out through another fan that Hannah went to the gym earlier this morning, so the picture above is the one picture taken from the gym by that fan. The quality maybe isn’t the best but you can see how hardworking 5 Pieces magnae is to look great, right? Now we understand why she can eat fast food…

We also caught Hannah on the bus after that. She was with someone who I think is her manager, because he was clearly Korean and he had no idea of what we were saying. A lot of idols actually seem to have the managers being overprotective and then rude to fans and such, but this guy was just standing next to Hannah. It was while waiting for the bus to come, and there were actually more fans than just us so the other people waiting for the bus were like wondering why people were giggling and standing with cell phones pointing to the poor blonde girl who was talking on the phone. My friend filmed it, we were standing pretty close, so she caught it on camera ^_^ I swear, everything this girl does is cute, even talking on the phone. She kept glancing around after the bus and her eyes are like super pure and innocent and whenever she looked over her shoulder us fans would be like ‘iiiiih she looked this way!’ and we were super dorky…

Hannah was really sweet though. She would look embarrassed when seeing that all of us were fans and some boy actually called out her name so she turned around and when seeing the cameras she turned back embarrassed and her manager turned back with this manager-look telling us to not disturb but I still called out that she is pretty (she wasn’t on the phone at that time XD). She was blushing so cute! My friend actually dared to ask her if she disliked the amount of snow we have in Sweden and she was really sweet because she smiled and said that there is no winter without this much snow so she was actually happy to be in Sweden to see it. She even told us to have a lot of fun in the snow XD

Before anyone dared to ask for an autograph, the bus came… We actually got on it too, me and my friend, and some of the others got on too because … who would want to miss a chance like this?

She sat by the window on the bus, next to her manager, and she changed completely on the bus. She listened to music and she looked out the window, looking to be in other thoughts and suddenly she looked so tired too because she kept resting her head on the side and even when her manager talked to her she rested her head towards him but listened without any interest at all. But she had been so kind to us before so I thought she really is pure for not wanting to disappoint us fans. But Hannah was seriously really down to earth and adorable! She was just really so freaking cute that I’m honestly in love, even if I’m a girl.’

COMMENTS:

- “I wonder what family issues she had :( hope everything is well. But she looked to have fun, and I must admit that those Swedish fans were so lucky!”

- “It’s so much snow in Sweden in those pictures!!!! O_O No wonder 5 Pieces misses home around Christmas; there is no snow to play in in Korea ;)”

- “Hannah is so cute XD She looks like she really was comfortable walking around in Sweden, even if fans followed her and meeting Maria’s sister they must really be close, right? Maria looks a lot like her sister, so no wonder Hannah gets along well with the sister ;) hi-hi”

- “Poor girl. She went to Sweden for family issues but can’t even take the bus without being surrounded. Lucky fans that their idol is so kind, Hannah really mustn’t have expected to get any attention at all the way she reacted. Her manager looks like he really wants everyone to back off, too bad he couldn’t speak Swedish”

- “Can you be more adorable~~ She is really shy getting the attention but I am so happy I got to see this because I have never seen anything as adorable as the video of Hannah waiting for the bus :D”

- “Maria’s sister is really pretty!!”

- “Is that her face WITHOUT make-up????????? How is that possible? How is she possible? Hannah is really beautiful, seriously, like a Swedish Goddess! And she is so pretty when she smiles and when she talks it is like *melts* how can you NOT fall in love in this girl? Just look at her… omg so pretty~”

- “Hannah is perfect, we got it confirmed from this now <3 Still curious of what kind of family issue she has :/”

- “Lucky fans! I realise that in Sweden, 5 Pieces seem to walk around as if they aren’t idols xD they should realise they are recognized everywhere now ^^.”

- “Swedish channel TV4 have announced that the author of the book ‘Joe – Under Seoul’s Streets’ will be guest on their morning show and do an interview on Wednesday!!!!! Urgent news, Swedish fans; turn on your TV in the time 7AM-10AM on Wednesday!!!! Hannah will appear sometime there!”

2012-12-19 – 5 Pieces’ [Daze] MV

- The music video starts off showing a pair of bright pink one-colour sneakers walking towards the corner of the camera. The surrounding is dull, which the whole video concept is, while just the sneakers and standing out in colour. While the sneakers are slowly walking, the music starts to play and Emelia’s voice is heard saying *DAZZLE… STUN… DAZE…* while also the scene changes to capture the members of 5 Pieces stand in their positions, though it just briefly showed before the sneakers are showed again, this time the camera starts to zoom out on the person walking in the sneakers. It zooms out on a pair of black jeans, long sleeves and a faux leather high-neck top with buckle details. Half of Carolina’s face is hidden and she is looking straight ahead though the camera is filming from the side, following her as she is about to walk by. She grabs the high-neck covering while the camera shifts to show 5 Pieces as a group moving along to the beat before you see Carolina pull down the high-neck just as she gives a glare to the camera, saying *5 Pieces*

- The beat in the music enters at the same time as 5 Pieces, by then standing in a line after each other, bursts out in different directions while dancing, different scenes of the girls dancing the same thing is showed, the girls wearing different clothes and they have their fake tattoos with words written.

- Maria is sitting in a bedroom, sitting by the make-up table with a mirror in front of her. She is wearing a fitting dress with silver/black police tape filled with unreadable words, staring in to the mirror while lip-synching to her parts, looking pissed off and annoyed.

*When I WAKE UP in the morning,

See myself in the mirror

I can only see the faults in my face,

The difference from me to you*

- In her parts it is clips of the dancing scene, and in the bedroom there are different scenes of Maria leaning her hand on the mirror while glaring at her reflection, of Maria kicking away the chair in the room in frustration, of Maria smear out red lipstick with her whole hand on the mirror to cover her face (the red lipstick stands out in the dull colours of the video) and her part ends with Maria at the door to the room, opening it and stepping out, the camera revealing what it stands on the door when it gets shut after her leaving; ‘perfection doesn’t exist’ in English. During the whole beginning, these really fast clips of the girls’ fake tattoos have been appearing now and then, on thighs, wrists, arms and collarbones just like it did in the second music video teaser. During Carolina’s part coming after Maria’s, the girl is walking along the corridor as she did in the beginning though only now there are mannequins that are all dressed the same standing along the sides. Carolina’s part goes like;

*People are living their lives in routines.

I don’t judge, I just walk on my own*

Hannah’s part shows close-ups on her and mostly parts of the dance.

*The eyes looking at me,

When I walk down the street, the judging eyes*

At the last words there, Emelia’s dark eyes are up for a close-up, followed by Hannah having her fingers messing up her hair for the next line *I get scared to stand out,* and the dance is showed of her following the others; *To show that I am not like you*

…

…

- Emelia appears for her rap later in the video wearing a straightjacket in white, her arms stuck in it and she is rapping crazily with two different parts of the same scene mashed up so for one part Emelia is just sitting there and moving to the rap while for the other part she is crazily moving and showing how crazy she is. The camera circles around to show behind Emelia, where Hannah is sitting like her other half, also wearing a straightjacket and looking insane as she is rapping her part. She is shaking her head with her hair flying while trying to get loose.

COMMENTS:

- “Maria’s legs……………………………………………………………………”

- “I got no other words but to say that I am in a daze! Seriously, 5 Pieces, WHAT ARE YOU????? This can’t be human. This can’t be SM’s creation… SM always has such boring videos of just dancing, and then they have 5 Pieces’ videos always being … what is this???”

- “Freaking awesome music video! I don’t know where to watch or what I miss and I can’t even blink because omg seriously what is up with 5 Pieces breaking out over the edge. This is freaking awesome and I must’ve lost my breath just seeing Carolina start off the video with *5 PIECES* so coooll!”

- “Hot. y. Crazy.”

- “It’s that moment when you realise 5 Pieces was not kidding when they said that pirates are taking over the world.”

- “Screw 2NE1 with their I Am The Best, we have 5 Pieces – our Originals that are Black & White and they put us in a Daze.”

- “I can’t believe what I just saw… Carolina has pink sneakers and she complains to mannequins, Maria is wrapped in police tape and has words written on her model-legs, Julia is lying ready on the floor, Hannah raps and does Changmin high adlibs and Emelia is a psycho. From fighters to freaks. 5 Pieces, have you found yourselves?”

- “OMG YES let me go down on my knees in front of you!”

- “Ummmmmm cool”

Answer on the one above: - “That’s just one line in L for Legendary”

- “This MV is seriously freaky insane. Having mannequins to represent humans, are you nuts? I love it! Carolina looks so annoyed at them XD But it’s great. All idols look the same, and then … there’s 5 Pieces XD Great song for a great group!”

- “I don’t know what to scream the highest over: Hannah’s rap, Hannah’s adlib or Hannah’s hair throwing!”

- “Trying too much maybe? Wannabe idiots”

- “Maria’s voice in the chorus is like killing me and Carolina singing to the mannequins makes me think she is jealous of Maria’s mannequin body XD But seriously, I am trying to melt this whole Daze concept. What’s up with this song? It’s driving me crazily insane over 5 Pieces! And I can’t stop trying to move my legs like that!!!”

- “Am I the only one thinking of how freaking hot these girls look when they are insane? Have never seen crazy girls look so hot before. Let me drool and love you for an eternity~”

- “Maria can create war with those legs”

- “EM O__________________________O”

- “Now let’s just wait for all the fans uploading videos of trying out this dance! I am laughing already…”

- “Hihihihihihihihihihi Hannah is like super y in this mv hihihihihihihihi I’m in a daze over her. marry me, and marry me now~ My heart is really hurting over how perfect she has become O_O it’s like … no flaw. Perfection does have a name: HANNAH!”

- “Does anyone here know what they are singing? I can only catch up with a few parts. Desperate here!”

Answer on the one above: - “Shortly said the song is about how people are afraid to show that they are different, how all the judgement of strangers are making them ask how we can survive living like this when we have to be like everyone else, so in the chorus they are singing ‘I am beautiful, I am different’ because they are themselves, that there is no one like you and so. It’s a really great message, hope this helped ^^,”

- “I LOVE THIS SONG AND MV AND 5 PIECES!”

- “This is true art. I believe 5 Pieces can change the world!”

- “Wooooooooooooooooooooot OMG! Am I dead? I must be… Such beauty and perfection like 5 Pieces can’t really exist right O_o”

- “Not good -.-”

- “This is girls’ domination, people. Freaky crazy pirate ladies telling being different and not succeed all the time is better than humans being mannequins (everyone looking the same), and I think no group but 5 Pieces can sing this kind of song without being seen the wrong way. Because This Is 5 Pieces! Imagine SNSD or SISTAR perform this song, you would leave laughing ;)”

Answer on the one above: - “Not even 2NE1 can pull this one off! Melissa Allen created this song for 5 Pieces definitely!”

- “I can see Hannah’s shoulder in the MV!!!! And what’s up with the tattoos? It looks hot! I wonder if she has that butterfly tattoo also… ;)”

- “Copycats much? What, are they some 2NE1 wannabe group? 2NE1 rocks. They can dance and sing and rap and they got style while these … are just yuck”

Answer on the one above: - “Oh dear, 5 Pieces had the freaking awesome style before 2NE1 debuted. And how the are they copying 2NE1 with this song? If you actually pressed the play button and watched the video instead of just commenting, you will realise nothing like [Daze] or 5 Pieces have existed before this. Yucky you”

- “And SNSD is making a comeback soon? With what? How can they possibly go against this? And I probably ask the same question as everyone else in the stunning shock of watching this video; what is this? I don’t think goddess is enough to describe 5 Pieces anymore…”

- “I have said it before and I’m saying it again; poor K-pop. 5 Pieces is wiping the floor with you ;)”

HEADLINE 19TH: 5 PIECES PRAISED BY P!NK FOR MUSIC, STYLE & COURAGE

5 Pieces released their music video for the Korean song [Daze] just a few hours ago, and someone who seems to have been fast to catch up with the video is none other than the American artist P!nk. Through twitter, P!nk first gave a link to the music video on YouTube and wrote to all her fans that this is a video made of true artists, and a minute later she wrote another tweet that said this;

“I am watching through video after video on YouTube by the phenomenal group 5 Pieces. I got no idea of what they sing half of the time, but with that style it doesn’t matter.”

A few minutes later, P!nk tweeted about 5 Pieces again, this time she wrote; “I am head over heels for 5 Pieces. The songs Daze and Erase You are like a must on the playlist now. Check them out! They got everything a superstar needs.”

Other American artists have also recently showed interest in 5 Pieces. Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev have before used twitter to write about the [Black & White] music video that she seemed to have fallen in love with, and also actor Hugh Jackman not long ago said he wants to meet 5 Pieces. Singer Katy Perry has showed love to 5 Pieces’ [Black & White] and also Hannah’s [I CRY] and she also follows the members of 5 Pieces on twitter and someone who constantly is showing her love and support to 5 Pieces is the American comedian Ellen DeGeneres who already last year showed a lot of support to the girl-group by promoting their songs as well as letting them perform and guest on her talk show. Also recently not just have Ellen been playing 5 Pieces’ songs on her show but she also promoted 5 Pieces’ [Black & White] single that apparently made a great impact so 5 Pieces sent in a video thanking her for it.

Following P!nk’s tweet, Ellen re-tweeted one of them and wrote ‘all this time I have told you, only now you realise?’ and with that making fun of that Ellen one year ago was talking about how great 5 Pieces is while others seems to only take notice of it now.

What do you think, is 5 Pieces taking over the world? 2012 definitely is a year for Pieces!
