A few MVs from Korean pop star Lee Hyori which were used as commercial films for Anycall, a mobile phone brand established by Samsung. Hyori was the spokesperson for the brand in 2003-2007.

“Anymotion” is the first of three instalments produced for Anycall; featuring Eric Mun from pop group Shinhwa. The video was a bit controversial for a few reasons (copycats and racism etc), but it’s quite cool nonetheless…

Shinhwa’s Eric joins Korean army

Korean star Eric Mun becomes the first member from pop-group Shinhwa to join the Korean army to serve his mandatory military service. Over 300 supporters, including some oversea fans, bid farewell to the 29-year-old star before he was enlisted last Thursday (Oct 9) into Nonsan military training centre.

Korean guys whose parents are both Koreans are required to join the army for 22-26 months (depending on enlisted units). If not mistaken they can choose to fulfil their duty in between the age of 20-30; most of the Korean stars are enlisted rather late though, as their careers are normally booming in early 20s.

Four other members of Shinhwa, i.e. Dongwan, Junjin, Minwoo and Andy will be joining the army in the next two years, which literally means that Shinhwa could be in hiatus for up to four years. Hyesung is the only member exempted from military service due to medical condition.

Latest music video from Korean pop group Shinhwa, “Run”… featured in Shinhwa’s Vol.9 album which also commemorates their 10th anniversary. With the members due to enlist in military service soon, this album is selling like hot cakes at the moment.

I like the piano-play at the beginning, but overall the song is just ok for me. Funny video though…
