The song is the first track from the duo’s Smile mini-album…

The song is just ok for me, but I like its a-laughter-a-day-keeps-the-doctor-away theme. Another attraction of the video is the cameos from host of Korean stars, i.e. 4minute, Kara, After School, 2am, Epik High, Lee Seung-gi, Baek Ji-young, Taegoon, Kim Jong-kook, Kim Tae-woo, Jung Juri and Jewelry S etc.

Sunye’s (from WonderGirls) wardrobe trouble seems to be grabbing the headlines though; and Big Bang’s fans are wondering how their favourite group managed to end up with nothing at all considering how red hot they are at the moment.

Chuseok is one of the two biggest holidays in Korea (the other is Seollal the Korean New Year). It is considered the Korean equivalent of Thanksgiving and a time to honour ancestors with newly harvested grains and fruits [more on KoreaNet]

As for Korean entertainment fans, it’s the season to see their favourite Korean celebs in traditional Hanbok wishing everyone a happy Chuseok. Sharing a few pics of some all-girls Korean pop groups (image from Newsen and Star)…

The song is a superhit in Korea at the moment, topping KBS’ Music Bank for six weeks and dominating other music charts on MBC and SBS as well. Their dance moves, dubbed the ‘ET dance’, has become a hit too.

One More Time is from “Kitchi Island”, Jewelry’s 5th album and first since 2005. Two new members (Ha Joo-yun & Kim Eun-jung) are introduced to fill the spots left by Jo Min-ah and Lee Ji-yun. The two original members are Park Jung-ah and Seo In-young.

The song is a remake of Italian singer In-Grid’s “Encore Un Fois”… quite catchy, but I can never understand how it managed to tops Music Bank for six weeks. Love Park Jung-ah’s new hairstyle though.

[Update April 20] It’s #1 for seven consecutive weeks at Music Bank.
