Back in 2010, Thunder and Krystal were emcees for the music program MWave. Here are some cuts.
Most of the feedback was that they were awkward. I don’t disagree with that. I think these are some of the reasons why:
– they were still “new idols” during that time and that was their first time hosting, so the level of nervousness was really high. Particularly, MWave was a new show also.
– it was a duo: a male-female idol combination.. In most cases of male-female idol combinations, there are 3 or 4 people involved. If there are only two idols hosting, they are usually both males or both females.
– they were hosting in English which is not their native language and haven’t used that in a long time..
-Thunder memorizes choreos easily but I think he cannot exactly memorize the script as is that’s why he keeps on looking at his cue cards. He’s the type who gets the important info and just ad libs for the other parts.
– parts of their scripts are so ‘cheesy’…. hahahaha… I’m not complaining though… I love Krystal-Thunder pairing… 😛

If you don’t like Thunder-Krystal pairing, don’t scroll down!
Me spazzing on Thunder-Krystal…
From Fx’s latest performances, Krystal is wearing a shirt with the word “THUNDERBIRD” and the number 21! Plus, a dinosaur earring! There’s only one earring, she’s wearing it on her right ear only. She has worn dinosaur earrings in different colors in different performances (white, pink, blue, red). She only wore it in her right ear. I have never seen Krystal try this kind of earrings/style. She usually wears glamorous dangling earrings for performances.
Krystal pouting in these pics (Thunder also really loves to pout). And she’s wearing Thunder earrings! And the color is black and silver. Black Thunder? MBLAQ Thunder?? lol….
Rocking the airport fashion: White shirt, leather jacket, black pants and sun glasses!

I thought I was the only one who noticed the lightning bolt earrings and the THUNDERBIRD shirt 😀
I’ve shipped Doongie with Krystal since the M Wave days (and with many other female idols actually xD). Like you, I’m also dying to know how close they got during that time and any other behind the scenes interactions. I’m also hoping for more interactions between them in the future… 🙂
Do you know Krystal’s style nowadays of tucking the front part of her shirt in her shorts? Doongie also did that once 😀 I’ll try to find the pictures.

EDIT: Doongie is also sporting it on the airport pic you posted above 😀
I don’t know how this style of wearing shirts came about and if it’s actually the in thing nowadays, but I remember seeing it first on Krystal during their Electric Shock promotions.
both onstage during rehearsals or as airport fashion 😀
Krystal also likes to wear long coats recently, i love it ❤ 😀

Yay!! Another OhThunder admin for Cheondung and Krystal. 🙂
These two maybe closely monitoring each other for fashion styles. Their styles are VERY similar even though their gender are different.
I haven’t closely monitored that style of tucking the shirt.
However, based on the links you posted, Thunder’s tumbler uploaded those pics way earlier than Krystal’s. Maybe it was Krystal’s onstage style but Thunder made it his “real life” style. Then Krystal also did the style for airport fashion and rehearsals.
Upon using google, I noticed that Thunder does that style of half tucking in the shirt in order to emphasize his belt buckle. He also did this style while endorsing TBJ Nearby (although the TBJ shirts seem to be fitted). I think that was in 2010.
I guess Krystal’s doing it to emphasize her abs/ flat tummy. The half-tucked shirt that hollywood stars are doing is a little bit different.

I also noted the coats. The coat Krystal wore in MBC Gayo is similar to the gift That’s Right gave Thunder. The coat with a Leopard print lining inside. Krystal’s coat was just green with a snake pattern on the outer side while Thunder’s was black.
Girl and boy version fashion styles.
Too bad, we can’t really see these two interact on stage. It’s rare for both music groups to appear on same shows. Hopefully, we get to see them interact this February — Lunar New Year shows.. 🙂

Hmmm.. Are their dorms for Hello Baby (2nd ep -when the kids woke them up) and Idol Manager different? I know that MBLAQ managers also sleep with them in their dorm so they must have a room too.
I think Thunder and Joon only stays with them during promotional activities. If not, both them go home to their houses. Same with Dara.
As for Krystal, she really stays at her parent’s house since their dorm and their house are really near each other. In the vid that I saw, she said that it’s just walking distance.

i presume that he took acting lessons, that’s why he’s been in hiatus for such a long time after idol manager ended to prepare for this..

OT: And now I finally figured out why they mentioned the Tae Kwon Do Masters in SBS Gayo with MBLAQ. I guess they were included in the martial arts stunts that they did for Run. Too bad, the camera didn’t capture it well. 😦

He really wants to promote here, but they need a producer here too. Maybe it’s the business side that they are having problems with so they’re not yet coming here. I believe Philippines has a special place in Thunder’s heart and mind.
I was wondering why they chose that song too. The lyrics is about one-sided love. And to add to that, Krystal had a participation in it. 😉
Makes me also curious about the celebrity or celebrities that confessed to Thunder. Is Yirang considered a celebrity? The chef in Raising Idols (Key’s teacher)..
