The Recording Industry Association of Korea (MIAK) has announced that SG Wannabe tops Korea’s best selling album chart of 2007.
SG Wannabe’s “The Sentimental Chord” sold 190,998 copies, followed by Super Junior’s “Don’t Don” (164,058) and Epik High’s “Remapping the Human Soul” (120,301).
With South Korea’s 49 million populations, the sales figure is surprisingly low for a best selling album.
Collection of parodies for “Tell Me”, one of the most popular Korean songs in 2007. Performed by teenage all-girls pop group Wonder Girls, the song has been a phenomenon in Korea with its infectious dance moves…
Korean high school girls dancing to Tell Me… I like the fact that the class teacher took part in the parody too (although basically doing nothing)… high school life should be fun like this

The ‘blog war’ started when Lee Teuk mentioned in a radio show that his request to exchange blogroll with Kim Yu-na’s Cyworld blog was rejected by the 16-year-old skating star… and SuJu’s fans began sending hate messages on Kim’s blog, and Kim’s fans retaliate.
As of the time of writing, the message board for SuJu and Kim Yu-na has been shut down temporarily.
SuJu’s fans are giving themselves a bad name really. About 2 months ago, some of the fans posted hatred message to a girl after a picture of her posing with one of Suju’s group members during a television show was spread on the internet… the girl was so depressed with all the harassment that she finally committed suicide.
