One with DBSK

I'm very confused..I know that this MV use the clips from the movie "A Millionaire's First Love" but I don't recall listening to this song! I think this is a new MV but I can't really be sure since this song isn't new either!

Talking about the song, the title is "One". I remember watching this song perform for their "O Jung Ban Hap" Tour. It's one of the most memorable performance for me as the intro was really cool. I love the English part of this song!



I know "InSa" is in the OST..a great song for a great movie! Lee YeonHee looks so freaking gorgeous as a poor girl! And did I mention HyunBin is in it? LOVEEE~~

SM Project Group : Nadia

I'm so sorry, I meant to blog this earlier but I forgot due to DBSK hype!

Nadia is a new addition to the SM Town and boy was I surprised! I have to read a lot of times before settling in the fact that this duo is from SM!

Nadia's version of "Mister" by Kara


It a very different vibe from the usual SM acts. Lots of people have been giving praises to this project group.

Here's a "MaBi" MV Teaser that just releashed today


This is really odd coming from SM, I guess they are trying to shift the attention to this group rather than focusing on DBSK issue? As an SMlover, I am going to support the duo..it's just very different from the usual stuff by SM.

300th Post!!

Yeah~~~ Finally reaching to my favourite no.3! with a double 0

This month alone I have reached over 50 post, I'm really amazed with myself because it always hard to come up with new post. Last year I tried my best to reached 100 post.. now I'm almost to my 200 post this year! I almost didn't continue this blog with two months of dissapearing. Now, I'm back for good!

To celebrate, Beast comes up with a new remix of "Bad Girl"


And MIR and G.O. acts cutely for us too!


This will be the last time I'm going to post 100, 200, 300 post special..it's only a mark to represent that I'm no longer a rookie at K-blogging!

A'ST1 disbandment rumors

Just when I thought I have nothing to write suddenly A'ST1 disbandment rumors comes up!

I feel so hurtful to hear about this issue, I was going to blog about promoting them on my "2009 in 31 day" I didn't expect I would write in a different way later..

What's confirm is Tomo has left the building! I can shout all the swear words right now because his statement made me so furious! (note that I took from AllKpop , might have mistranslation.)

NOV. 27


Long time no see!
It's getting warmer these days right?

I returned to Korea. I officially left A'ST1.
Thanks all the people who supported me until now.

Now I am an ordinary person too.
I think I'll find a part-time job in a convenience store.

WTF, work in a convenience store? Are you trying to make me laugh? I thought it should be getting colder?

NOV. 29

Good evening!

Well the reason why I left was because I had no job and
because I have to think about the future. And that led me
to take that decision.
I think my withdrawal will be officially announced next week.

To be honest, it's partly our responsibility if we don't bring
good results, but it can't be helped either.

If someday I have to work again in the music industry,
I'd like to erase that.

Shut up, No Job? DSP is a meanie to eh? Once you're in you'll never out! Why quit altogether huh?!

I hate this. I really do. Why is November such a bad month? it seem like it's true..A'ST1 is OVERRRR..I really do like A'ST1, this is heartbreaking. On a lighter note, I hope my dream of seeing JangMoon doing solo comes true!

2008 saw a lot of Boyband debut, SHINee being my favourite (SM biased) and A'ST1 being second. I like A'ST1 very much because of JangMoon and has Chinese and Japanese member.

You know how goodbye should be? QUIET.. no news and leave when you're on top!

you're just hurting us!

You're Beautiful Cast Trivia

Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung

Born on 4th of August 1987, Jang Geun Suk is not only famous for acting but also as a singer. Although having said that, his main work is in the acting scene. With his good looks (rumored to have PS) he also receive a lot of CF (Commercial Film) offers. Here's JGS doing all 3 talents!

Park Shin Hye as Go Mi Nam/Go Mi Nyu

Kdrama lovers must recognise this pretty face right? She stars in the famous Kdrama few years back "Stairway to Heaven" as the young version of Kim Tae Hee. Just like Jang Geun Suk, she received a lot of CF offers as well. If the kiss in "You're Beautiful" doesn't satisfy you, Here's her CF with Jang Geun Suk.



She's not only a pretty face but a great dancer as well!

Jung Yong Hwa as Kang Shin Woo

He's a member of a Kpop group (but doing promotion in Japan) C.N. Blue and he has a famous brother named Jung Kyung Ho picture here . His Bday is on June 22nd 1989!

Lee Hong Ki as Jeremy

The youngest of the cast, Lee HongKi is famous in the Kpop scene since he is F.T. Island lead vocalist. Looking the above picture, don't he look pretty than most girls? Yeah and He is! He and JGS are on the list of "Kkot Mi Nam" If you're interested with the list,read here

Lee Hong Ki as F.T.Island lead vocalist

When I Fall

Another great song from After School, "When I Fall" was perform today on SBS Inkigayo.

Looks like Raina is threating JungAh place as Lead Vocal! Not complaining though because I like Raina's voice! I keep on seeing Yoo Hee Yi, UEE give me time to accept you. LOL

I like acoustic feel on the song and the harmony among members is really good for the group who is known for performing Dance song. Perhaps with the new addition members makes them change image altogether? Good for them, it's nice to see a change that is good.

G.O.O.D. Luv

I really don't like "Oh Yeah" for the obvious reason too many repeating "Oh Yeah" but G.O.O.D. Luv is G.O.O.D.! so annoying to type

This is the official MV and it does look like a cheap production kind of video however I MUST add that it's better than 2PM "I Hate You" MV! They film this by themselves (but edited by pros) for a mission in their reality show "Art of Seduction". I think they did a good job!

On the song, I love the casualty of it and it's easy on the ears. What I don't like is why G.O.O.D.? Is there meaning to it? NOPE! Just making me suffer to type it on the keyboard!

I begining to love MBLAQ.. My favourite member is DungDung~! He's the same age with me but I'm older for just 4 days! (so precise!)

JungJuri got striked by Thunder?!

LOL, I know..BAD Jokee!

Jung Ju Ri is a famous comedian and a part of Star Golden Bell Bell line member. While Thunder (aka CheonDung), real name Park Sang Hyun is a member of newbie group, MBLAQ!

In an episode of MBLAQ's Art of Seduction, CheonDung revealed that he admired JungJuRi charms. CheonDung was given a mission to bring JungJooRi to a fan meeting and *ROFL JungJuRi reaction was soooo FUNNY!



Onew fans might also know her because she is Onew Bigggest fan! Initially I didn't really like her in SGB because she come across as annoying but after a while, I start to understand her humor so she's really funny!



Another additional information, CheonDung is 2NE1 Sandara Park younger brother! Currently CheonDung got infected with H1N1, hopefully he's getting better!

CheonDung with IU singing Lies by Big Bang

Kdrama Review : Iris

This drama is shown in KBS World and why would I miss watching this? Personally I'm not a fan of action movie but that doesn't mean I don't expect anything!

Currently I've been reading about good reviews and with amazing cast, no doubt I'm having high hopes about this drama. I have watched 1st 2 episode already and it's good!

It's my 1st time seeing Lee Byung Hun in action and he's really charismatic! His English is good, no surprise since he did act in a hollywood movie "G.I. Joe" remember? His interaction with one of my favourite faces, Kim TaeHee is really sweet.

I'm not up for the action but rather the story behind Lee Byung Hun character..I like mystery plot and I'm glad I have something to look forward to beside relationship. Like most Kdrama, you know who's going to end up with who just by looking at the cast and Iris is no different.

Who should watch it?

Big Bang fan!! T.O.P. is in it! He looks really good in acting! Don't forget to watch it V.I.P.!

Because of You

I'm not a big fan of After School but I may just be right now! The performance at Music Bank was really nice although I'm not exactly loving the outfits.

It's not that I didn't like After School, because I did like "Ah" and "Diva"! I even like "Dream Girl"! I just got occupied with other female groups like SNSD, Kara and 4Minute or maybe I was jealous of leader Park Ga Hee for being YooChun's ex-gf! LOL

I was a little sad when smiley SooYoung left the building and a little mad when they add another two new members. I almost didn't want to check out the single "Because of You". I did anyway and loving it! Watching the performance, looks like newbie Raina had more lines! So glad UEE did not!

JungAh look really weird with short hair and Beckha my favourite member don't look good with blonde. Gahee is great..looking good everytime! Nana..nana who? she along with UEE and Juyeon didn't really had much parts.

Overall it's nice song but they need to work on balancing the new line-up. Don't learn it from 2PM, learn it from SNSD. SNSD is really clever with each members lines, you will notice everyone parts!

5 members on One stage

I'm tearing as I watched this video, I didn't know I miss DongBang Boys so much!
They look really good, I love their hairstyle and outfits!

Congratulation to Tohoshinki and Big Bang for winning the Gold Artist Award! It's the first for 5-month rookies, and second for Tohoshinki. Hallyu is spreading it's border in Japan!

We may not see DongBangShinKi in action but looks like we will with Tohoshinki! Hopefully they will be together for the year-end Kohaku!

I miss..

Super Junior KiBum. I was watching old SuJu vids and realize how much I miss him.

I don't get it..How much time does he need to "practise/prepare" for a drama/movie? KiBum, at least appear in variety shows! I need your beautiful smile to cheer me up on a sad day!

When can I see you again? *sad face*

Haengbok


I know you have more talents than just acting, Please comeback fully next album. Believe me, we know a member is missing without counting! I need 13 members on stage!!

Marry U


Ask LSM to give you lines.. We love your voice!

*sigh* I need some old SuJu love!

Living Legends of Kpop

SeoTaiJi (aka SeoTaiJi & Boys)

Dubbed as the creator of Kpop, SeoTaiJi is a familiar name for sure. SeoTaiJi is currently doing solo career as a rock singer. As for me, I known him as SeoTaiJi & Boys because his "boys" were Lee Juno(former member SGB Bell Line) and the oh-so-famous YG, Yang Hyeon Seok.

Mega hit Nan Arayo (I know)


H.O.T (High-five Of Teenagers)

Their impact is huge not only in Korea but in China as well at the height of the career. I am only a kpop fan during 2006, which is way over their disband but I can still feel the effects of H.O.T. right now. Basically what I know is JTL ever won MTV Asia Award for Best Korean Artiste, Moon HeeJun as a soloist performing Krock and was heavily bashed in the beginning. KangTa the only one stood by SM,(if not mistaken, just like BoA..He owns some of SM shares) is currently doing military service.

We are the future


(so thankful the future didn't end up like that!) Hoobaes can be seen performing this, just type away in Youtube.

ShinHwa

Probably is the longest still together group, Shinhwa is famous no doubt! I remember watching their MV and Eric in Dramas..yes, I used to love Eric! ahaha but now it's Dongwan. Currently only left Minwoo, Andy and Hyesung are not in Military.. Hyesung won't be going because he had injuries but his recent news was a scandal regarding gambling (crime in Korea). They are from SM but manage to get away more lucky than DBSK. They didn't renew contract and sign into a new company, SM tried to sued them from using "ShinHwa" but Shinhwa won. Shinhwa brotherly love is amazing and I'm sure every Shinhwa Changjo(Fanclub) agrees with me

My favourite MV Once in a lifetime.


look out for YooBin! (WG, former Good Entertainment trainee)

P/s 10 more post before 300post!

YooJunJae Vs YunChang ?

O_O so loud! I bet everyone going to have a sore throat next day! BTW, damn the window thingie blocking Michelle Yeoh! why is her name Wai Lin..? That's her character name in James Bond! Stop at 0.04

I don't know what to say..... Congratz 1st but as you might know, there's no SM artist present at MAMA except them.

I have read about YooChun, JaeJoong and JunSu coming to MAMA article but it brings me a question.

"Are the trio really want to break ties with SM?"

It started out as a rumor, but with this appearance it seems like it. SM boycotts MAMA because SM isn't satisfied with the counting system of Mnet. Now, an appearance of the group without YunHo and ChangMin. This is sad. I have no faith.. Congratz for being the "Best Representative for Asia"

my butt, what kind of representative that goes through some scandal?

Credits: AllKpop

UPDATE!

Translation from AllKpop

Xiah Junsu stated:


"It's been a long time. It's an honor just to be able to attend such a huge event, but being able to receive an award, thank you so much. This award is not for one single member, but because all 5 members have put forth so much effort we are able to receive it. Thank you so much to all of our fans in Asia for allowing us to receive such a huge award."


Micky Yoochun stated:

"I think this is the first time I've wanted to sing so badly. After becoming a singer, I was able to meet such great members, that's why I think we are able to be here. We will work even harder to expand beyond Asia. We hope for even more support than now."


Youngwoong Jaejoong stated:

"I can't be happier because this award is coming directly from the fans of Asia. To our fans who are watching and possibly our two friends who are watching, I wanted to say that I love you."


Sounds like they're closed with the other two but my coin is still on DBSK breakup.

T_T (real tears just falls down...)

Beast performs Lies!

=.= What?? on red carpet..? Unique maybe, but I would still prefer red carpet as a walkway not a stage.

Leader DooJoon isn't with the group due personal matters. (aww, I miss him already!) JunHyung looking good! He should have that hairstyle more often. The dance formation seems new..not something I'm familiar with. Of course like any other Big Bang fan, I'm so excited about this performance particularly because of HyunSeung! He did awesome and seen smiling through out the performance!

Let's see..JunHyung as GD, HyunSeung as SeungRi, AJ as TaeYang, YoSeob as DaeSung and DongWoon as TOP? Nooooo..they cut TOP's part, my favourite part of Lies..:( I wished DongWoon had lines..I know he's talented too!

I think my BEAST dream has been achieved. DooJoon and DongWoon to perform 2PM performance?Check! HyunSeung to perform Big Bang performance?CHECK!!

Beast performs Again & Again


Mnet is good with special stage, we got to see former member Wonder Girls' HyunAh perform "Tell Me".



it's a dream come true, former members/eliminated members got to perform what was supposed to be their breakthrough performance.

Long time no see!

A long-awaited performance!

Sunday of CSJH was on Music Bank and I watched her LIVE!! She was amazing as usual! Feels a little weird to see her but I definitely would welcome her back! H-eugene was great too, but as I said before..not digging the HipHop scene too much.

Hope to see Sunday more as well as the other CSJH!

Random Talk : Mindset changed

Kpop change my life, literally...

If I were to catergorize myself, I would fall in a group of conservative. Yeap, I have an old mind.. =.= but it changed a little thanks to Kpop culture. Here's few of mindset change I've gone through.

1. Lip-Synching

I really have a major issue about not singing LIVE and I would some sort of bash singers that do so. I felt that since singing is their job, lip-synch is a fraud! But I have seen more than once lip-synch performance and I got used to it so it's not biggie for me anymore. There's health reason, there's audio system reason and sometime dancing and singing at the same time is very hard.

Guess which one is lip-synch?

Super Junior's Mirror and Man in Love

2. Plastic Surgery

I don't know if this is authentic, because the before picture looks like Kang Ji Young of Kara! If it is real, I need to know that plastic surgeon! It's a picture of Honey Lee Miss Korea 2006.

I'm not a fan of changes so I do dislike PS. I love natural things and it took me a while before accepting the fact that almost all celebs had gone through the knife. I began to accept PS because I realize that the society is harsh, it must be a pain to received criticism about your looks. We worry about getting old and we like to see ourself as perfect. I sometimes feels like changing my big nostrils.. :P (Thank Goodness I'm broke)

3. Gay

Well, not really... I would still pray that any gay person would turn straight. I'm quite religious so if someone ask me, I'd be honest about it. I just apply "as long as you don't bother me" concept. What I meant by changes is that everytime I saw bromance (Brother+Romance) I would scream Gay! LOL Now I think it's cute.. I think you're only a true Kpop fan when something so gay in the past become "How CUTE!"

Remember JaeHo couple anyone? LOL


HaengBok MV


I used to think this is the most gay video..my mind changed after seeing them crying in a show (I forgot title) but here's another video

My name is...

It easy to tell that G-Dragon, T.O.P and Sunny isn't their real names but do you know LeeTeuk, KangTa, Shin Hye Sung isn't the real name?

Here is some quiz for you! try guess their names (highlight the brackets)

JunJin

Ha Ji Won

(Jeon Hae Rim)



Eun Ji Won

(Real Name! )

Han Ga In

(Kim Hyun Joo)

Lee Wan

Goo Hye Soon

Favourite Shows no more..

There's a lot of good shows in past, now no more but definitely shows that I would like to see again!

Kim Jong Kook vs Lee Min Ki on Dangyunhaji


Dangyunhaji means "of course". Xman is one of the best variety shows and created a lot of "couple". just type in "dangyunhaji" in YT, you'll have a lot of entertaining videos to watch!

ShinDong on Happy Shares Company



This show makes star used about 10 won for a week and they have to win games in order not to starved. It's an exciting show showcase celebrity ability to save up and earn money.

Super Junior dances on Heroin 6


This shows enables the fans to see how would celeb serenades the Heroin 6. It's fun to watch because you really got to see the celebs charm. Occassionally you can see performers dance their way of charms.

Cheon Sang Ji Hee The Grace

Although their official name supposed to be simply "The Grace", most fans prefer calling them "Cheon Sang Ji Hee". They are frequently dubbed as the female version of Dong Bang Shin Ki because of their similarity.

Acapella Medley by CSJH


More than just similarity in names, CSJH were introduced as an acappella group just like DBSK.

Too Good by CSJH


Dana (1st one to sing), the leader actually had debuted as a solo singer releasing two albums and Lina(3rd) is also used to be a part of duo Isak and Jiyeon. Stephanie and Sunday (2nd) are newbies.

My Everything by CSJH


My favourite song by them, The MV (unfortunately cannot embed here) features KiBum of Super Junior and YoonA of SNSD

One more time Ok? by CSJH


Hopefully this isn't the last Korean MV of them..After this, again just like DBSK..CSJH were shifted to Japan. Unfortunately they doesn't received much success in Japan like DBSK.

A little bit of good by Tenjochiki
watch Here

If I'm not mistaken, this is the latest PV from Tenjochiki. It's not bad right? I don't know why it doesn't seem to gain much success. Hopefully Sharpley(fanclub) would continued on support! I can't wait for Sunday on Music Bank!
