POPSEOUL! Halloween Costume Ideas 2008

Jackolantern_200810281

Yes, Halloween is right around the corner. And for all those procrastinators out there who haven’t thought of a Halloween costume yet, we are here to help.

Check out the tasty Halloween costumes that will make you the life of the party.

Aden004-small

Campus couple

Costume requirements: Easy

So you have a bf or gf and don’t know what to wear? Why not wear the same outfit from head to toe like Jo In-sung and Sung Yuri. If someone asks, tell them you are a “couple from Korea”. Simple.

Shinee_20081028

Idol group

Costume requirements: Medium

Have you always wanted to be an idol star with adoring fans who massage your butt? Well it’s not that difficult. All you have to do is to round up everyone you know (girls or boy). If you want to be this year’s hottest acts, SHINee or the Wondergirls, take note of the following costume guidelines:

SHINee
Two things: slim pants and bowl cuts. The pants must be pastel and must be tight enough squish your internal organs together. Also, can’t forget the bowl cut - a sign that you are “hip and happening.” And for the finishing touch, wear crazy fluorescent colored shoes. Oh, and you don’t have to be a guy…girls are ok too.

Wondergirls_costume)081029

Wondergirls
To be the Wondergirls, you must have 4 other friends who look the same (not difficult if you had the same nose job, eye folds, and shaved jaw). Next, dig out all the leopard print from the back of your closet and wear it any which way you want, paired with jewel colored stockings. If you want to stand out, remember to wear a diaper, like Sohee (in chic leopard print, of course!) Also, choose someone you don’t like to wear the uglier version of the outfit (every group has one). Voila, you now have the look from the “So Hot” album. As an added bonus, find a random gorilla to play JYP!

Crownjinyoung_20081028

Ant couple: Suh In-young and Crown J

Costume requirements: Easy

Going trick-or-treating as couple? Then you should try going as ”We Got Married!”’s favorite couple, Seo In-Young and Crown J!

Ladies, cut your hair into a bowlcut (if you have one already- bonus!) and put on the most ridiculously skanky outfit you can find in your closet. After that, all you have to do is hit, embarrass and boss around your boyfriend like you are his mother. Oh and whine in a nasally voice….that’s it!

Guys, dress as “gangsta” as possible by wear a baseball cap, repeatedly yelling out, “L.A.” but somehow mysteriously represent Atlanta, and screaming “A!” with your fingers in an upside-down ‘V’ every time your girlfriend screams at you.

Gwonjiyoung-081029

G-Dragon (Big Bang)

Costume requirements: Easy

To be like Mr. fashonista himself, G-dragon, the possibilities are endless. The easiest costume is just pretend you are a girl (check above). Wear dark eyeliner, get a few tattoos on your skinny forearms, wear t-shirts that say “I love sex” or wear all black with or without a fur cap.

Dbsk-200809-10

Jae-joong (Dong-bang-shin-ki)

Costume requirements: Easy

If you are fortunate enough to have a concave chest, then take advantage of it! It’s super duper easy to be a member of idol group, Dong-bang-shin-ki with 800,000 fans! just open your shirt to expose your belly button, throw on a few thin chains, place one hand in your pant pocket (to look cool) and voila! Get ready for the mobs of girls chasing you down and calling out “oppa!”

  22. 22 Jill October 30, 2008 at 12:19 am

    glad that Son Ho Young isn’t in the list this time..
    i think Suh InYoung/Jewellery are Halloween skanks everyday..
    and JaeJoong and Jo InSung are two delish devils..yumm..

  23. 23 bubbles October 30, 2008 at 12:38 am

    I would dress as the Gorilla himself…. JYP really needs someone to help him in the wardrobe department…. nice ideas, too bad idols bore me too much to even try dressing like them

  24. 24 strawberryfieldsforever October 30, 2008 at 12:47 am

    i’d like to dress up like jung ryu won— the pale zombie look with messed up hair is easy!

  25. 25 crypticbluerose October 30, 2008 at 12:51 am

    haha ant couple, kinda wish I had a guy to do that with….
    but if I cared anything about halloween, maybe i’d do uhm jung hwa’s “disco” outfit, XD

  26. 26 Song October 30, 2008 at 12:53 am

    ha, funny, but nice ideas!
    man, if anybody could really be like JaeJoong, i would love to see,hehe,
    but of course nobody could ever look like him!

  27. 27 confused October 30, 2008 at 1:01 am

    I’m dressing up as Rain’s “magic stick”.

  28. 28 rainonmebi October 30, 2008 at 1:12 am

    seo in young’s is spot on. what a nasal ajumma hoe indeed!

  34. 34 doki October 30, 2008 at 2:59 am

    OKAy someone has to teach Wandergirls how to dress up! leperd skin is so ugly on them

  35. 35 epik lover October 30, 2008 at 3:15 am

    i think its hilarious and for a bonus it hits all the famous ones…
    but i dont think shinee’s pant are unbreathable, dont like the overall frm the wonder girls,i think the couple outfit is cheeky sweet, crown j couple n seo in young are so very real live arranged marriage couple still its the coolest bout the show, i hate the fact the g-dragon is trying to be prettier then me but i love big bang, n i think jae jong was told to wear that outfit… he doesnt even look comfortable in them

  36. 36 YUNJAE Love October 30, 2008 at 3:31 am

    LOL !
    JaeJoong !
    I think only he looks good dress like that to me XD
    And Shinee and Wondergirls !
    Those are’nt really scary halloween costumes though…D:

  37. 37 timelessluv October 30, 2008 at 3:52 am

    “Hey can jaejoong eat out of that bowl he calls a chest?”

  41. 41 soju October 30, 2008 at 5:30 am

  42. 42 hannahco October 30, 2008 at 6:13 am

    no one can ever look even a tenth of the hotness jaejoong has..how much you dress up or wear make up
    sorry :)

  43. 43 youkoyugi October 30, 2008 at 8:23 am

    haha, somehow I knew GD was gonna be mentioned in this..with the fur hat-thing

  44. 44 cutefloatie October 30, 2008 at 8:23 am

    HAHAHAHAH U r so creative PS.
    That’s why I come here every day!!!
    I love PS

  45. 45 Diana October 30, 2008 at 8:47 am

    Hmm, I think I’ll go with Ant couple… maybe I’ll get a fake pointy nose too.

    I know this is unnecessary, and some WG antis will probably bash this comment anyway, but I would like to clarify the status of the amount of plastic Wonder Girls have in their faces: none. Sunye has gotten double eyelid surgery, but the rest are au naturel. This is 100% evidence based.

    Some of them might not not be the best looking, but at least when you punch their nose, a rod won’t come shooting out of their foreheads (hint, hint Mrs. Ant).

  46. 46 bronxbaby101 October 30, 2008 at 9:05 am

    I am dressing up as T.O.P from Big Bang! yeah i wanna b with my man but i can BE him for a day!

  47. 47 YeEunfan October 30, 2008 at 9:15 am

    SunYe didn’t get double eyelid surgery 0.o She’s looked the same since she tried out for JYP when she was 11.

  48. 48 jenny October 30, 2008 at 9:16 am

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
    “Find a random gorilla to be JIP” HAHAHA. sooo true.

  49. 49 Dylan October 30, 2008 at 9:56 am

    Yea I agree with Diana, Wonder Girls did not get any plastic surgery. The only surgery Yoobin got was Lasik surgery. So to all u Anti’s out, GO SCREWW YOURSELVES!!

  50. 50 Mel October 30, 2008 at 11:09 am

    ROTLMAO!!!!

  51. 51 aliks October 30, 2008 at 11:18 am

    hhahahaha you forgot to put Uhm Jung Hwa’s DISCO outfit

  52. 52 stee October 30, 2008 at 11:21 am

    wondergirls are almost all natural…its like a known fact lol
    except for maybe double eyelid for one of them…

  53. 53 pringLe October 30, 2008 at 11:52 am

  54. 54 XyLenT October 30, 2008 at 12:28 pm

  57. 57 gloria October 30, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    lol its funny but so mean

  58. 58 Dovey October 30, 2008 at 2:17 pm

    Looks like you guys are making fun of these celebs, more so than saying their attire is something people would want to impersonate. The only one I thought would make my list was the campus couple one though.

  59. 59 superhae October 30, 2008 at 2:20 pm

    wooow~G-dragon’s outfit make’s you go…..”WOOOOW WAAAT?”..
    haha..
    omo and Hero’s soo dang hot! l0lzz^^..

  60. 60 Dovey October 30, 2008 at 2:28 pm

    Did you guys double post this? O_O I saw this on the first page as well.

  61. 61 sunny October 30, 2008 at 2:30 pm

    do they have halloween in korea?
    i kno for a fact that if i dressed up as any of these… the only one that’d make a little bit of sense is the campus couple. but then ppl would be all “why are you dressed up as yourself?” no white person would understand the other celeb costumes lol

  62. 62 Rebel Without a Sauce October 30, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    I’ve seen gay halloween costumes before, but your ideas take the cake.

    …did I mention that it’s gay cake? :/

  63. 63 Ross October 30, 2008 at 3:11 pm

    Us Aussies never heard much about Halloween until several years ago when, as per typical, for reasons unknown to myself, some folk here decided to do a copy cat. Sad to say Aussies always do that. I mean copy cat all the weird things from the US of A. Maybe it was due to all the folks that came to live here from the States? Now we have crazy kids dressed up as bad people sticking super glue in our front door locks, letting down car tyres & even throwing eggs if they dont like the handouts. I thought doing a copy of the US of A’s Valentine’s Day was bad enough…when will we ever learn to do our own thing in Aussie land?

  64. 64 musume October 30, 2008 at 3:36 pm

    I’m dressing up as our fugly SNSD gals. ^^
    Then I’ll have a sign on my back saying ‘kick me, I’m a slut.’ hahahaha~

  65. 65 raining October 30, 2008 at 4:19 pm

    100% agree with the shinee thingy..
    come on, their clothes are like the most hideous thing that i’ve ever seen in this kpop industry..

  66. 66 FRUITY October 30, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    i want to try to dress like Wonder Girls,,
    i think its SO HOT!!
    HAHA i agree with you raining…
    most hideous!! really!! it really fits for the Halloween!!

  67. 67 sammeone October 30, 2008 at 7:25 pm

  69. 69 rijae00 October 30, 2008 at 9:56 pm

  70. 70 Vanessaly October 30, 2008 at 11:38 pm

    if your concept of stylish is boring, then you wouldn’t understand the point of SHINee at all LOL

  75. 75 Q-Pop October 31, 2008 at 7:14 am

    G-Dragon looks ridiculously gay.

  76. 76 flyingplanes October 31, 2008 at 9:48 am
