A Hallyu Halloween

BONJORNO~~!! LET'S BE THE MOST-STYLISH THIS HALLOWEEN!

So I came across a Hallyu Halloween contest and decided to make a video while joining it.

I also did Kim Hye Jin from the same drama but it came out looking more like the lovechild of Chucky and Plupp so that idea was an instant no - alert alert all abandon the wannabe Hye Jin ship. (Kudos to whoever does her hair before the shoot. Major kudos).

So hi, I wished to share my cosplay with you all but I didn't want to just dump it and leave without contributing with a longer article so below are a few Hallyu Halloween ideas, you know, just in case you were thinking of going the fandom-way this year.

☠       ☠      ☠       ☠

☠ STEPMONSTER

Walk into that party with your heels clanking loudly! The Stepmonster is at its best when you match it with a fur coat of choice (the whiter and fluffier, the better). Hairstyle has to be on point - curls are for ahjummas and we all know that you're not quite of that age just yet. A few hours with your private hairdresser should do it for you. 

Oh, also bring an envelope of cash. Tmache Stepmonster's specialty is bragging about their wealth (preferably while throwing said wealth in another party-goer's face). You may also wish to bribe that Country Pumpkin off the party because who invited them anyway? Everyone knows orange is out of fashion and Pumpkins always smell. (See what I did there, Daesung).

Outfit: Fur. Bling (but sophisticated bling, pearls before peace signs kind of bling).
Hair: Up and tight. Much like the Stepmonster itself.
Remember: Money + envelope.

☠ COUNTRY PUMPKIN

Your best friend calls you up last minute to invite you to that Halloween party downtown. LAST MINUTE! Needless to say, there's no time for that Stepmonster hairdo you had been planning on, so here you go - The Country Pumpkin - Ahh, the easiest of cosplays yet bound to get everyone's attention by the end of the night as you prove yourself to be much smarter and a lot more attractive then you had first lead on. 

The Country Pumpkin's specialty is to stay in the corner of the room until the clock strikes midnight. That is when the Cinderella story unveils. (It may also just be a drink or two too many, really). 

Outfit: Stick to the basics. Shirt, pants. It's good to wear pants when going outside, so I've heard.
Hair: DIY and let the haystack back home be your inspiration.
Remember: Confidence! It may be a last minute outfit but you're likely to be more comfortable than some of the other guests. (Did you see that guy with food on his face?)

☠ KIMCHI FACE

Forget Scarface, this year is all about Kimchiface. In the spirit of Halloween, this choice is just the right amount of gory. Kimchiface is also the more convenient of the Hallyu outfits as it goes with any piece of clothing you choose; just add the right amount of kimchi splatter and you're ready to go. 

Remember! The idea of Kimchiface is not to violate other people's outfits by throwing your kimchi at them but do feel free to bring some of your food props, just in case someone else offers to help touch up your makeup.

Outfit: Any color that matches your splatter.
Hair: Irrelevant to all kimchi purposes!
Remember: Bag-o-kimchi to touch up your look through the evening.

☠ THE PRINCESS

Who says Halloween is all about the scary things?! Who says you can't show up as your prettiest princess-y self?! Now I, for one, would not hesitate a second to make this one my choice of cosplay if it meant being escorted by at least four handsome men (sorry, I, of course, meant to write 'flower boys'). 

The princess is someone who is always late to the party but who makes sure that all eyes are on her as she enters. Throughout the evening, she is seen hanging around her many escorts and they are bound to protect her from any kimchi splatter that may come her way. 

The princess is, contrary to popular belief, not a princess off-the-party but most likely that unpopular girl who just so happened to have a few extra kkot-mi-nams at hand just in time for the party. Fairy godmother, anyone? 

Outfit: No need to worry, your flower boys will pick out for you but the best of the best.
Hair: Pfff, escort is rich, escort has a castle full of designers to care for your hair, dun you worry maiden.
Remember: Straighten your back, your goal is to make any possible bullies jealous.

☠ THE X

HOLD UP. Are we entirely sure that the kkot-mi-nam escorted princess who just arrived is in fact the unpopular-gone-popular chick she was letting out to be? Hmm.. On another note, here is a guest at your party to look out for. The X is the most vengeful of the vengeful, the most deceiving of the deceitful. 

The X always arrives to the party by pretending to be someone she is not, but do give her some slack, it's Halloween after all! We're all pretending to be someone else for the evening. The specialty of The X is coming up with lies that will lead others to sympathize and care for them. 

She is popular, a famous tennis player by night and an overseas student by day. She knows all of your ex partners, your present one and most likely also your future husband or wife. And she will use them against you. Ding dong, the witch is alive. 

Outift: Anything in fashion and tight enough to show off your curves.
Hair: Perfection down to the one millionth strand of it.
Remember: Stay away from the alcohol at the party, you're "supposedly" pregnant.

☠ Ghost Jun Pyo

Ahhh, that Once-upon-2009-popularity of yours has since long faded, yet no matter how many showers you have taken right before the party, your perm and pride will not leave you be. I feel you, friend, but there is a way! Make use of the uprising of fantasy dramas in order to up your game. 

Can't read minds? Don't look good enough in nine furry tails? Then ghost it is! A sheet fashionable enough for someone of your caliber will not only make you relevant to the fans of today, but will also hide your true perm-identity. 

Outfit: One piece o' Fashionable Sheet
Hair: There's really nothing you can do about it, mate.
Remember: Stop trying to make 2009 happen. It's not going to happen!
