Super Junior at the GMA’s

Photobucket


The annual Taiwanese "Golden Melody Awards" will be held on June 27th this year
(right after their Music Bank appearance). It is the most renowned and
recognized Chinese music awards. And with Super Junior's uprising fame,
it's no surprise that they will be attending the ceremony as
this is the second time they've been invited.

Without a doubt, Super Junior themselves feel honored to have such an opportunity.
One of the members said they are very happy and they will take this opportunity to thank
all the fans in Taiwan. "Sorry, Sorry" has become a very big hit in Taiwan and with that,
they will be performing that song at the awards.

The Golden Music Awards will be broadcasted by satellite TV from the east, to China,
Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines and other Asian regions live.

Family Outing members in tears at farewell party



The first part of the Family Outing farewell episode for departing family members, Park Ye Jin and Lee Chun Hee was finally aired this evening on SBS and by the end of it all, it really hit me that their journey is really coming to an end (on tv of course since they have already left on paper). Clueless about what's happening, refer to this article.

There were no guest family members this time as this was a special episode to send off Park Ye Jin and Lee Chun Hee and with the bulk of the focus on them. Just like past episodes, it begun with a whole lot of fun with games, etc as they were submerged in a river stream. But deep down, they were playing the games with a heavy heart as they all knew what was going to happen eventually later on. Chun Hee was his usual self as Chunderella while his stepmother, Su Ro ordered him around when they were sent out to pick vegetables; Ye Jin showed her prowess by breaking apart a watermelon with ease and then competing with Hyori in games with her sweet, savage style.

After busying themselves for the whole day, the whole family settled down for a farewell party and viewed a special video which had captured all the great memories over the past year. Everyone was reminded of how Ye Jin was sweet and savage at the same time, preparing (killing) a fish without battling an eyelid, catching chickens with her bare hands, etc while Chun Hee amused everyone with his carelessness.

The video included pre-recorded footage with Hyori saying, "I was worried initially because there were only 2 girls. But we hit off well after the first filming. Makeup is very important to us girls but she was able to overcome this very well, even in adverse conditions, I am very thankful." By now, all of the members were already in tears, as it dawned on them that farewell was imminent. Daesung and Kim Su Ro expressed, "We were really grateful to Park Ye Jin for catching those runaway chickens."

Lee Chun Hee said, "New family members will be coming in to join the family but I will never forget all the wonderful memories created with you all. I am really sorry to be unable to stay with all of you till the end. I am very grateful for all the wonderful times this past year". Tears were welling up in Chun Hee eyes as he was saying this. Ye Jin then said, "Family Outing has become part of my life this past year and I really love all my family members. Whenever I require help, all of them would come over to help me and I am very grateful. I am really sorry for not being able to continue."

The tears will continue to flow as the final episode of Family Outing with Park Ye Jin and Lee Chun Hee will be airing next Sunday, 28th June as they usher in their final breakfast time with the whole family. The pictures below sums up the whole sad mood.

Photobucket

It's finally here! 4minute's MV, which has received both criticism and love from the teaser, has finally been released! With the girls just freshly debuting yesterday, there has already been much heated discussion surrounding 4minute, as there are a bunch of accusations against the group - Many are pointing fingers at 4minute, claiming that their concept is nothing but a mix of 2NE1 and After School's style, their music video copies 2NE1's "Fire" MV and Madonna's "4 Minutes" MV, and that their song "Hot Issue" is a rip off of Black Eyed Peas "Boom Boom Pow."

Watch the video and give your comments about it!!

She said, "It was fantastic. I saw many Korean artists and received good impressions and ended up with many CDs. I will listen to them when I return and learn about Korean pop music." When she received a t-shirt from Jaebeom with Korean characters on it, she exclaimed, "It's cool!"
She also commented on her M! Countdown performance saying, "I wanted to perform more because it was on a cable channel. The audience is young and because the atmosphere was dynamic, it suited me more and was exciting. Thank you for letting me perform."

When asked if she wants to return to Korea in the future, she replied, "Of course. I plan to come back to Korea." and ended her appearance in Korean with the words
"Sarang Hae Yo" (I Love You).
At one point in the interview, Jaebeom asked if Lady Gaga liked any Korean artist, to which
she replied "You!". Jaebeom was a little surprised but couldn't hide his joy as he smiled.

Donghae & Siwon's secret trip to Taiwan








For Ariel Lin’s new album “Xin Fu Yu Jian,” [the record company] secretly invited two of the most famous guys among the 13 from the South Korean super-idol band “Super Junior” – Siwon and Donghae – to come to Taiwan and appear in her MV. Yesterday morning the three met in secret at Ilan’s Dasi Station and immediately started shooting a departure (separation) scene, conveying a picture of perfect understanding.

Siwon and Donghae’s secret trip to Taiwan
Sources said this collaboration was made on condition that it be confidential. To keep it confidential, even Siwon and Donghae’s bodyguards – who are usually dressed in suits changed to casual clothing — to accompany them. But fans are very resourceful and were heatedly discussing on PTT the MV shoot in Ilan. Sources said the news originated from Baidu.

Siwon and Donghae arrived in Taiwan at 8:50pm on Monday via EVA Air’s BR519 flight. The two had hats on and were wearing casual outfits, with the five-member group pushing a cart full of luggage. As the trip was confidential, there were no fans to meet the SJ’s two most famous members. Maybe it was the company’s success in keeping the trip a secret, Donghae even gave a big laugh, face up when he came out of immigration. It looked like he was in a good mood.

Teaming up for “Xin Fu Yu Jian” MV, shooting on the railway tracks
After arriving at the Grand Formosa Regent Hotel in Taipei on Monday, Siwon and Donghae were said to be going to “Tai He Dian” for spicy shabu-shabu, but this didn’t push through. They stayed in the hotel until 7am the following day and took the company van to the historic Dasi Station in Ilan to meet Ariel and shoot an MV for her new album.

When Ariel got off the van, she went to the public bathroom with a crew member. Maybe she was unaccustomed to the sight because she took one look and left. She went to a nearby surf shop instead and asked if she could use their bathroom, and then headed back near the train station to rehearse with Donghae and develop their chemistry. There was no dialogue involved, so their interaction was a little awkward at the start.

Ariel retouches her make-up, Donghae helps tuck her hair
Only when Siwon, Donghae and Ariel headed to the station platform to shoot did they gradually start to develop their chemistry. It was sunny yesterday, so everybody was sweating. When Ariel was retouching her make-up, Lee Donghae even helped her tuck the ends of her hair lightly. When they started shooting, they looked like they were interacting well. Although Ariel’s a Korean major at university, in private, she had very little conversation with the two guys. When the director gave instructions, they still needed an interpreter. Shiwon and Donghae were like two buddies. The moment the director shouted “cut,” they would bump their shoulders together and then do a Wang Feihong pose – very funny.

Three-day, two-night secret trip, going back to Korea today
Sources said Shiwon and Donghae came on the invitation of Avex Taiwan. They kept a low profile during their three-day, two-night working trip and didn’t go anywhere in private. They inked a confidential clause not to let star-chasing fans know to make it easier for the crew to finish their job. They went to Ilan’s Dasi Station, Wu Shi and other places for shooting. Filming went on until the wee hours today. Siwon and Donghae went back to the hotel afterward. They are scheduled to leave at 2:40pm today, flight BR160. On June 27th, they will be back with SJ’s other members to join the Golden Melody Awards.

Learn the faces and names of 4Minute

Photobucket

The 5 girls are hard to distinguish, ok probably not for Jiyoon since she got short hair and Hyun ah with red hair. But the other 3, a bit tough huh.

To be honest, they look the same to me.

Probably the same plastic surgeon.

Mnet M!Countdown

Although I have to say that Mnet M!Countdown has the worst lightings and stage settings as compared to Inkigayo (Which I think is the BEST), Music Bank and Music Core, I have to agree that this week's Mnet M! Countdown is GONNA BE A BLAST!
JUNE 18TH IS THE DAY!

Photobucket

Its 4minute debut performance on Mnet! (so suay, poor lightings) , and they are deemed to be against 2NE1.

Oh Hi Seo In Young, It has been a long time since I last seen you. hehe.

Jewelry's performance will be a no kick lah!

With 2 younger and hottest groups to-be performing on the same stage, Jewelry's performance might be shadowed.

Oh well.

But with Lady GaGa's performance, tell me who rules the stage now?

2PM JaeBum’s Nylon Interview



How did you like the tattoo we drew on for today’s shoot? I thought you’d have a tattoo since you rapped and b-boyed (breakdanced) while growing up in Seattle; I’m surprised [that you don't].

It’s cool. The company (JYP Entertainment) won’t allow it since we’re an idol group. But I certainly want to get one later on.

How do you like photo shoots?

I had fun. It wasn’t tiring at all. Since I exercise several hours a day, this extent is not tiring. It would have good if I was a bit taller and better looking.

Your figure and moves are good.

Before debuting as [part of] 2PM, I even received a prize as a b-boy in the States.

I saw a video of your first place win in Marysville’s Breaking the Silence – your body movements are very free and agile.

Thank you. I still do it. Even now, my friends who are there keep winning the prize for first place. It’s a team called AOM – Art of Movement. Whenever I visit the States I go out to competitions with them.

I’ve heard that you clashed a lot with the company’s training methods when you first went in because you liked to dance freely without set schedules.

I’m the type to manage myself. It was really tough because the scheduling didn’t suit me, the food didn’t suit me, and I couldn’t communicate well either. I also wanted to see my family. There weren’t many trainees at that time either. I even thought of giving up because it was difficult but truthfully, it’s embarrassing to give up. I didn’t want to disappoint my mom either. Now, my mom as well as my friends are proud of me. I’m happy.

Weren’t you uneasy how the group almost dissipated because the members kept switching?

JunSu and I were here at the beginning but the kids kept coming and going after that.
I wasn’t nervous. I don’t know. I just thought this is how it is. I don’t have a worrying personality. I just thought, ‘What happens will happen, to the extent of effort I put in’. I think that in life when I work hard, things turn out well; if I’m lazy, things don’t turn out. I think that’s as it should be. I used to play basketball until high school when I took up dancing and singing.

When was the first time you got into music and dance?

In grade 2 of elementary school my older male cousin was listening to rap on a walkman. The track was Warren G’s ‘Regulator’. I’ve completely been in love with hip hop since then. I didn’t think that I have to do something about it. I simply kept buying and listening to CDs since then. In kindergarten, I listened to Michael Jackson a lot. If you look at it one way, it’s really amazing. I’d follow along and dance while watching Michael Jackson. To be honest, I debated a lot before coming into JYP because I enjoy simply dancing and chilling with friends. But then I thought that it would be good to show something rather than just dance like that.

What’s the most important thing you’ve learned since coming to JYP?

That you can’t do it if you’re weak. I think that only very strong people can become singers. I don’t think it’s something that any regular person can do.

What does it mean to be strong?

A person with will power. A tough person who can stand to the end. It’s like that especially at JYP. Since we do just acrobatics for four hours and such. From the beginning your leg can get torn and it really hurts. It’s difficult.

Then you must be a really tough person?

That’s right. Since I’ve gotten this far. I just kept exercising by myself. Other people seem to use trainers to get their ideal body. I didn’t know. I used to run outside in the early morning in the middle of winter.

Why? In order to look good?

I just liked Usher’s six pack. I worked out my abs since seeing [Usher's] in middle school. In high school I did weight training to make my body light. I had to since I was a b-boy.

There must be some things that you don’t do in order to maintain your ideal body.

I don’t smoke nor do I drink alcohol. I dislike it. It’s not good for one’s health either. Alcohol doesn’t taste good either. I’ve never tried smoking even once so I’m not sure about that.

SNSD, From Horror Queens to Waitresses?




On the 14th, MBC “Horror Movie Factory” starring Girls’ Generation aired their last episode due to low ratings. Yes, and many fans, like me, were very upset that we couldn’t see our beloved girls anymore…

BUT it looks like we won’t be upset for long. Apparently MBC and the girls are shooting a new show where the girls will be helping out restaurants and the team who is gathers more customers win. The show’s new MCs seem to be Kim Yongman, Shin Junghwan, and Boom.

The eight girls (excluding Yoona who might join later on the show) will be divided with Shin Junghwan and Boom. Junghwan’s team will consist of Taeyeon, Jessica, Tiffany, and Sooyoung while Boom’s team will be made up of Seohyun, Yuri, Sunny and Hyoyeon. But the basic idea of the show is for the girls to help people out in different ways, aw!

Let’s wish the girls the best with this show since “Horror Movie Factory” didn’t end so well.
