POPSEOUL! Costume ideas for Halloween

1031khs.jpg

Still not sure what you want to be for Halloween this year? Don’t worry, POPSEOUL! has the perfect solution for you. You can represent your favorite Hallyu star with a little bit of courage and creativity.

1031andre.jpg

Andre Kim - If you are sick of dressing up as ET or other aliens from outer space, try dressing up like our designer friend Andre Kim.

Things to get:

  • white space outfit
  • spray on hair
  • awkward fusion of French, American and Korean accent, “Hello, my name is Ah-nng-dre Kim, I’m a dee-za-in-na

Instructions:

If you are too poor to get your Andre space outfit custom made, then do some magic with your winter blanket. Start stapling the blanket to yourself until you look like you are carrying a UFO around your stomach. Once the outfit is intact, spray paint your hair and draw that hideously bushy eyebrows. Don’t forget to slap on some foundation as well.

Too much work? You are almost there. The final step is to adapt Andre’s accent. There’s nothing special about his fusion accent and all you need to do is talk very slowly and insert the word “elegance” and “beautiful” in every other sentence to complete the look. Now go outside and reveal your Alien self to the world.

Park Jin Young - Are you too handsome to dress up as JYP for Halloween? Don’t worry, you can look like JYP by wearing his signature “sweat pants.”

Things to get:

  • nipple tight white undershirt
  • saran wrap (remember to sew in the pockets)
  • clear tape
  • black thong
  • desire to become a social outcast for the rest of your life

Instructions:

First, put on your shirt and the black thongs. Then start wrapping the saran wrap around your legs and tape them to make sure that they are in place and voila, you are JYP for Halloween.

But if JYP’s plastic pants is too risque for you, try wearing the plastic on top like Sohn Ho Young. As long as you have the pecks to go along with it, you will become the ladies man of the night. And if you are brave enough, wear both the plastic pants and the shirt and let us know what happened to your social life afterwards.

1031eunchan.jpg

Eun Chan from Coffee Prince - If you want your Gong Yoo fantasy to come true, then why not dress up as Eun Chan and hope for Han Kyul to walk by while you are out trick or treating.

Things to get:

  • over-worn and over-sized t-shirts
  • outdated sneakers
  • ugly jeans
  • duct tape
  • tomboyish attitude and some Taekwondo kicks

Instructions:

First, duct tape your valuable assets to flatten them like a boy’s (if you are already flat, then congratulations you can skip the tape), and then put on the rest of the clothes. That was easy, now here’s the hard part. Practice speaking in Eun Chan’s annoying voice, blowing your hair whenever you are pissed and sitting down with your legs wide apart. Once you have Eun Chan’s signature moves down, you are set to go out and look for Han Kyul.

1031chaeyeon.jpg

Dancing Queen Chae Yeon

Things to get:

  • beaded curtains
  • flashy lingerie
  • hot tanned bod

Instructions:

First put on your lingerie and make sure that they are in tightly in place because nothing else will cover you up. Then carefully wrap around the beaded curtain on your neck and let it fall, as if your body was a wall and voila, you are Chae Yeon. But before you walk out the door, get used to the beads bouncing on your body whenever you move.

1031bada.jpg

Bada, The Official Ajumma

Things to get:

  • cheap perm
  • clothes banned from the 80s
  • desire to become an ajumma

Instructions:

Find the most runned-down salon near your neighborhood and ask for their cheapest perm. Then start your Halloween costume scavenger hunt in your mom’s closet and look for the loudest and the ugliest outfit. Wear it and pretend that you are all that. Now you are Bada.


Girl’s Generation: Nine twins

Things to get:

  • Gather 8 other friends (excluding yourself) with long hair and who look similar
  • School-girl outfits
  • Desire to blend in

Instructions:

This is by far the easiest Halloween costume since you just need 8 other girl friends who have the same look. Next, wear the same school-girl outfit. The picture above is a good reference and volia- you are part of Korea’s largest girl pop group. And I bet that if you go somewhere with your crew, people will actually think you are Girls Generation.

    Gawd!!..the scariest must be The JYP outfit..i’d be dead from laughing too much..

  3. 3 Hany October 31, 2007 at 1:24 am

    I totally agree with everything. Especially Generation Girls’ costume. Dress up similar and they might call you d*kes. Or dress up like Bada and your male schoolmates might mistaken you for their aunt. Andre Kim, enough said. JYP’s for guys who in need of desperate attention.. Hahahahahaha!!

  4. 4 szai October 31, 2007 at 1:58 am

    hahah!! another good laugh there!

  5. 5 marcel October 31, 2007 at 1:58 am

    popseoul, you’re such a riot ;D

  6. 6 Bored therefore I Blog October 31, 2007 at 2:36 am

  9. 9 hearmeroar October 31, 2007 at 3:19 am

    HAHHAHHAHHAHHA JYP -_-

  10. 10 AishaLoverLight October 31, 2007 at 4:22 am

    That Alien dude is freaking hideous. He needs to be blasted into outer space PRONTO.

    *screams at JYP* I’VE BEEN LOOKING 4 MY RAINCOAT FOR YEARS YOU COAT-STEALING JERK!! *cries* You destroyed it and turned it into a pair of see through pants for yourself…If you wanted to do that, you should’ve given them to somebody who actually looks hot.

    The Coffee Prince picture isn’t so bad. It’s actually kinda cool.

    Chae Yeon stole that design from a 5 year old’s drawing. I can tell because it’s all screwed up.

    Bada looks like shit in that picture…

    Girls Generation needs to rename themselves to Girls DEgeneration. They don’t even look like girls to me…

    If I had to choose one, I guess I’d go for the Coffee Prince look. It’s cool, and not disturbing.

  11. 11 Yin October 31, 2007 at 4:40 am

    woop. Andre Kim and JYP costumes. HILARIOUS.

  12. 12 fayta October 31, 2007 at 5:08 am

  13. 13 KyuMin October 31, 2007 at 5:24 am

    Everything else is a bit odd and also interesting but I’d definitley go with simplicity and cuteness like SNSD

  14. 14 Mimi October 31, 2007 at 5:33 am

    LOL OMG. YOU KILL ME. XD

  15. 15 ed October 31, 2007 at 5:35 am

    HAHAHA my sides are splitting from laughing.
    Any of you Family guy fans ever see that episode where Peter can’t look this incredibly ugly guy in the face. That’s how I feel about Andre Kim. He just scares the hell out of me.

    If Popseoul’s body is as developed as her sense of humor, I want her, LOL!

  22. 22 Champong October 31, 2007 at 6:36 am

    LOL! this made me laugh out the most:
    “if you are already flat, then congratulations you can skip the tape”
    you’re sense of humor just rocks.

    and JYP’s “sweat pants” just left a huge scar on my eyes. ewwww need to wash them with soap or something to get the image OUT!

  23. 23 jaime October 31, 2007 at 7:11 am

  24. 24 LP October 31, 2007 at 7:14 am

    Awesome post popseoul :)
    jyp pwns all >.<

  25. 25 Cookhwan October 31, 2007 at 7:34 am

    I don’t think JYP’s “sweet pants” is practical even though his idea was advanced and somewhat radical. There was a girl in 2002 who actually adopted this idea and made her own unique pants like the following:

    http://cafefiles.naver.net/data21/2007/5/22/92/htm_2007042708254770007100-001_1.jpg

    But the main problem of this pants is that air cannot penetrate thoughout the pants so that it’s getting wet and humid as time passes by and gets even worse in summer. JYP’s pants also have the same problem I guess.

  27. 27 simply October 31, 2007 at 7:39 am

    hmmm….i wouldnt no which to choose. lmao. ><

  31. 31 akon October 31, 2007 at 9:34 am

    actually, no. =P

  32. 32 mn October 31, 2007 at 9:58 am

    omg…jyp..omgggggg!! ew.

  33. 33 valski October 31, 2007 at 10:11 am

    haha!!! man popseoul you guys make me laugh! hilarious post! really helps me cool down.

    oh my gosh i am so appalled at jyp’s outfit. i feel insulted looking at his fashion style here when i shouldn’t even feel this way. was he fricken serious with that? i don’t even know why im asking that cause, i mean, he DID do a photo shoot with it. downgrade.

    and yeah, is andre kim’s hair really spray on? it has perplexed me to this day how…what’s the word…::ick:: it is.

    and the bada post really got me laughing!

    things you’ll need:
    cheap perm
    clothes banned from the 80s
    desire to become an ajumma

    soo funny!

    Can I throw up please? After seeing that “forgotten in my memory” picture of JYP, I wanted to throw my pc flatscreen for letting something like that appear in my presence again. aHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EOMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ME EYES ARE BEING VIOLATED!!

  47. 47 Rayne November 1, 2007 at 6:30 am

    OH MAN! THAT WAS GREAT!!! it would be cool to dress up like Chae Yeon and get away with it (i’d be banned from school tho… get expelled)
    *sigh*
    lawl. popseoul, you are one helluva awesome critic!

  48. 48 nina November 1, 2007 at 7:22 am

  49. 49 Seeny November 1, 2007 at 11:49 am

    “desire to become a social outcast for the rest of your life” LOL- That killed me!

    Those pants are so ridiculous. I can’t believe that he/a stylist actually picked up those pants that morning and thought- ‘hmmm…good decision!’

    Great post.

  50. 50 Dovey November 1, 2007 at 2:08 pm

    Wow popseoul, much props on this post and the prequel to this one too. It is really just hilarious, too bad I was still at work when I decided to browse through this. Thank god that japanese people have the ability to remain expressionless, otherwise I might have been embarassed …
