Cute Korean commercial for Chum Churum soju (Korean rice wine), featuring pop star Lee Hyori. Eye candy pics after the video…
Korean all-girls pop group T-ara have released some promotional photos in preparation for their debut album. Hmmm, the girls look identical at first glance; most of the time talent agencies would try to create unique identities for each members in a pop group, not the case for T-ara obviously.
Sextuplets is not a bad word btw; two = twins, six = sextuplets. Just a tease…
Actor Lee Min-ho and singer Son Dam-bi were named the best male and female commercial film models in a Korean broadcast and advertising festival in June.
Hi-Mart CF, featuring Cha Tae-hyun, Park Bo-young and Wang Suk-hyun from movie “Speed Scandal”, won the netizen popularity award.

Seems like the MTV Asia Awards will be back to Malaysia again in 2009, according to Korean pop mogul JYP that is.
No official confirmation has been made by MTV Asia yet, but JYP lets his words slipped with his recent Tweet…
“Sorry cuz of the Jonas Brothers tour we can’t go to da MTV asian awards in Malaysia. But I’m sending 2pm so don’t b too sad!”
The ‘we’ is referring to JYP’s favourite employees, the Wonder Girls, who are busy working as opening act for Jonas Brothers’ tour in USA; and as replacement his company is sending boy band 2PM to the award ceremony instead.
Funny thing is the public didn’t know that MAA will be held in Malaysia again, or if it would be held at all in 2009… and we certainly didn’t know that the Wonder Girls were scheduled to come at the first place.
English subbed music video of “Tell Me Your Wish” by Korean pop group Girls’ Generation, aka SNSD from their new mini-album, “Genie”…
I like the song, it’s not particularly catchy, but it’s likeable. The choreography is a bit awkward though; trying a bit too hard on flashing their nice legs, but couldn’t make it any more appealing… they would look sexier just by some simple posing.
Regardless, I can see the fanboys drooling for it; and the lyrics are obviously targeting the young male species. It’s going to hit a huge summer hit.

Korean pop group Wonder Girls has released the English version of their hit song “Nobody” in preparation for their American debut.
The girls will perform as opening act in the next two months for Jonas Brothers tour and is scheduled to release their first English album later on…
Gosh, they should just sing in Korean, which sounds so much better. One or two of them did well, but overall the English is crappy; and there’s a few notes that are seriously off, probably due to their uneasiness with the language as well.
Seriously, just let them sing in Korean in Jonas’ concert… let the girls show what they’ve got instead of pushing too hard with their English. If the studio recording isn’t half good, imagine what will happen when it’s live.
Trailer for Korean disaster movie “Haeundae”. Haeundae is a popular beach district in Busan; and the movie is about a giant tsunami that struck the coast.
Billed as Korea’s first major disaster film, the movie fields a strong cast of Sol Kyung-gu, Ha Ji-won, Park Jung-hoon and Uhm Jung-hwa etc…
Haeundae will hit the Korean cinemas in July 2009. The trailer doesn’t look half bad; and being a disaster movie freak, I’m definitely going to watch it when it’s released in local theatres [credits to nadiv1@youtube for the upload]
