Today, she seemed to perform with gusto, seeing more energy here. Although something still amiss with the image but I am lovin’ her rugged R & B image and of course, her flowy hair…love. For her unique sweet vocal always top notch. Looking forward for more of her performances.  Yobi ssi Aja Aja ! Are you lovin’ her new image/ style ?

Hwayobi on Kpop TVian interview

Source: TVIan.com

Yobi was interviewed by TVian, internet TV. Lovely Yobi looked  really fresh and rejuvenated in light make- up. There’s a 5- min video interview, you can watch it here. I had problem with the streaming and downloading, yet to watch it.  The accompanying article did mentioned about her debut, where she was instantly recognized in Korea as a talented vocalis due to her unique vocal talents. A heavenly voice filled with much soul and sensitivity  and she  always delivered excellent live performances.  The gist of the article seemed to mention  about her unique characters as we have known her as.  In the interview, she also shared with much passion about her album which we have known filled with her works from the lyrics to the song compositions.

Show your love…Hwayobi's tears…

Her tears…

We just found this video and just realized that Yobi was tearing up while  singing this song. Her crying sensation has always been remarkable but to actually see her teary eyes  here is priceless. She was completely immersed while singing this song. This is what special about her, she always embodies the song when she sings.

Like what a fan has posted here, ” I love Hwayobi because i feel warm and happy when i watch her performance and listen to her songs. She has such a wonderful voice which can touch  my heart deeply. No one can do it except her!! i will support her!!!.  Hwayobi, I hope you will sing songs which can motivate me when i feel depressed and touch to my heart.  I hope you will always be active in music industry so that more and more people can feel your soulful voice. Darren, Malaysia.

For me, “I love Hwayobi because she is a rare soul who dares to go beyond the norm. When others are pretending hard to show their perfection, she genuinely present herself not hiding her imperfections. I love her not just for her gifted talents but also for her imperfections. Not many of us dare to present that side of us & she dares. A daring rare soul she is….a “heavenly bohemian” someone who dares to go beyond the norm in pursuing her passion. “

What’s your love message to her ? who knows if she floats in here. Lovely sweet messages will always cure any healing soul.

With much love she is treating us. Let us show our love by supporting her works and buy her album…especially from her.  With your purchase, she will definitely know your purchase and it would be sweet for her to know she is love all over the world. We don’t want her to go missing rite :). More purchasing info here (Last order by 3 June/ 4pm Korea Time).

Her performance…
I was reserving my thoughts on her yesterday’s performance because I feel that it lacks Hwayobi’s lustre and charm. Today, I am still not charm by it, something amiss. Although, I greatly missed her singing/ performances but I was not drawn to be immersed in watching or re-watching her comeback performances.  I salute her for her effort to do subtle dance moves for this song. But it somehow appears like half- hearted movements. If  this is the route and genre of music that she is moving towards, she needs to be “more fierce” in her performance. She is always known for portraying much emotions in her singings/ performances…and we are always mesmerized by it. Please do… Bring it on Yobi ssi !! Since you are back to show your very best after 10 years as an artiste. I have yet to see what is it that you want to show. We trust you Yobi ssi ^^!

Her style…
On her image/ style, I have mixed feelings about it. I love her pictorials for her album concept, from the make- up to the wavy long hair. It makes her look sultrily sexy, perfect for a diva. But her styles for her comeback performances, from her make- up to her hair…& her outfit, doesn’t justify her gorgeousness. Although,  I am lovin’ the super mini-ness of the dress. A must this season ^^.  She is a diva, we want to see the diva in her.

Sorry if…
My apology if my blabbering here may offend any fans. But to those who have been visiting this site, you would have known by now that I adore and respect this lady, Hwayobi for her talents and the unique being that she is. Somehow as her fan, it saddens me when she is not showcasing her very best or she doesn’t look her very best. As we want others to respect her for her gifted talents and presence. As we know that she is the best & can be the very best. Loving an artiste doesn’t mean we blindly nod to whatever they are doing rite ^^ ?

A hit or a miss…?
On a good note,  I am happy to see new surge of fans who have been  showing much love to Yobi for her comeback. She has nailed it with new fans with her “Bye Bye Bye”…..& “Booty Call” & “Baby Gone..Baby Gone” seems to be hot favourites in this album too. “Bye Bye Bye” has been climbing up the online music chart surpassing some big names that are making their comeback on the same day. It has been steadily climbing up to top 5/10. Awesome !!! So it is indeed a HIT !

Lynn and Gummy, Yobi’s other good friends were at Music Bank and there was a short part of them together at the dressing room.
