Korean pop star Chae Yeon has opened her own fashion store at Seoul Fashion Centre on June 24, selling her own brand Bequem (German word for ‘comfortable’).
The new entrepreneur on the block is handling her business from top to bottom, from business planning and marketing to modelling for the brand. Bequem is focusing on caps, bags, shoes and other accessories at the moment, with plans to venture into clothing in future.
“Cry with Us” is a project album recorded by group of Korean celebrities to help starving children in North Korea. The project aims to give aid to the starving children of the north as well as to give them a message of hope. [Hat tip to Coolsmurf]
Note that the movie-clips from the music video are cuts from South Korean movie “Crossing” and not real footage; the movie is said to be based on real stories though.
Super GT’s pit walkabout is a special period where visitors (with extra passes) were allowed to visit the pit-lane to catch a closer look of the race cars, the drivers and the GT race queens. Some pit photos below, taken on Saturday (June 21) at Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia, where the 4th round of Super GT race was held…
Second day of the Super GT International Series 2008 in Sepang, Malaysia; some photos from various exhibitors and the GT qualifying rounds…
Went to Sepang International Circuit (SIC) this morning with KC to catch a glimpse of the Super GT Sepang race. Super GT is a popular sport car racing series from Japan; and the Malaysian round (4th out of nine) is the only international leg at the moment.
It’s just practice today; not many people around despite the free entrance. Should be having a much larger crowd for the next two days during the real races.
Some of today’s photos… some practice rounds for me too; it’s a bit challenging to take photos of these fast moving machines…
Japanese company Genepax has recently introduced its eco-friendly car that runs on nothing but water. The car has an energy generator that extracts hydrogen from water that is poured into the car’s tank. The generator then releases electrons that produce electric power to run the car.
A total of 1202 bikini-clad ladies have broken the world record for the highest number of women attending a swimsuit photo shoot.
MTV Asia Awards (MAA) 2008 is coming to Malaysia.
MAA, one of the most popular pop events in Asia, is making its debut in Malaysia. The show will be held at the Arena of Stars in Genting City of Entertainment, Malaysia, on August 2, and will be hosted by Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars.
There will be nine regional favourite artist awards and seven international awards to be presented. Among the nominees are Avril Lavigne & Justin Timberlake & Leona Lewis (International), Chris Li (China), Andy Lau & Eason Chan & Joey Yung (Hong Kong), Big Bang & Suju & Wondergirls (Korea), Nic Teo & Siti Nurhaliza (Malaysia), Stefanie Sun (Singapore), Jolin Tsai & S.H.E (Taiwan) etc.
As far as I know, none of the celebrities have confirmed their attendance yet, but judging from the past experiences, most of the winners were pretty supportive of the show… it’s one of the largest of its kind in Asia after all.
It’s not easy to get a ticket though; it’s something that money can’t buy. The fans have to get the tickets via contests by voting for their favourite artists [details]… the fans need some luck obviously.
Karen Mok is going to co-host the event with Jared Leto. Electrico, Jabbawockeez, Leona Lewis, Li Yuchun, OneRepublic, Panic at the Disco, Pussycat Dolls, Super Junior, Stefanie Sun, The Click Five and The Script have confirmed their appearances.
Update - the winners.
