Toilet themed restaurants are not new in Taiwan; it has been around since 2004 or earlier, with people dining in a toilet like ambience and eating from mini toilet bowl.

The latest Samsung AnyCall commercial (full 9 mins version), featuring Korean pop stars BoA, Xiah of TVXQ, Tablo of Epik High, and pianist prodigy Jin Bora…
AnyCall is famous for its CFs; its previous series featuring pop star Lee Hyori (AnyMotion, AnyClub etc.) were known globally via online video sharing sites.
With Hyori’s contract ending pretty soon, Samsung is trying to form a new hype with the quartet in AnyBand… obviously a worthy replacement.
Music video of Girls’ Generation (소녀시대) by Korean pop group Girls Generation, aka So Nyeo Shi Dae or SNSD, from their self-titled debut album.
The song is a remake of Lee Seung-chul’s (a guy btw) 1989 song, obviously for the namesake song title. Not sure if it’s the right choice; it doesn’t click for me.

Korean pop group Girls’ Generation (aka So Nyeo Shi Dae, SNSD) released their debut album Girls’ Generation Vol. 1 – Girls’ Generation yesterday (Nov 1).
The girls made their official debut in early August 2007; and despite being criticised for their (lack of) talents as well as suspicion of plastic surgeries, the girls seem to be doing well in terms of popularity.
Guess that the old saying “no publicity is bad publicity” is proven right lol; their albums sales should be pretty convincing.
