Lee Hyori & Wilber Pan – As Long As I Love You

K-pop diva Lee Hyori singing in Chinese for Hyundai i30 commercial, featuring Taiwanese star Wilber Pan. The MV style seriously reminds me of the Anycall commercials; same production team perhaps. Weird accent, but decent song…

Lee Hyori In summer Style from YeinJee's Asian Journal

Hmmm, where’s the bodyguards? It’s poor management from both her Korean agency and the Chinese organiser. It’s common sense that they need to beef up the security for a star of Hyori’s calibre; and I guess they probably didn’t bother to notify the airport management for special arrangement.

Credits to a few of the fans; they did try to persuade the rest to clear some space, but most were not listening obviously.

Lee Hyori – Anycall music video collection from YeinJee's Asian Journal

Not sure how nice the book is, but it’s something that is not easy to grab hold of if you are not from Korea. It’s a chance not to be missed for Hyori and K-pop fans.

Just head over, follow the instructions and stand a chance to win the prize. The contest expires on the last day of Chuseok, which should mean by the end of Monday (Sept 15); the clock is ticking… hurry up :p

Here is is, the English subbed music video for Hey Mr Big [via Coolsmurf]… The song is just ok for me, but I like the MV; it’s a showcase of different fashion and style (and a little cosplay)… totally Hyorish…

Beijing Olympics roundup (4) from YeinJee's Asian Journal

Hyori made her comeback live performance last week (July 18) on KBS Music Bank, performing “Invincible Lee Hyori” and “U-Go-Girl”… [edited, video no longer available]

Frankly, I think the songs are just ok; like the live performance though.

There are speculations for the past year or two that Hyori is not as popular as she used to be… but with the charts-topping album sales and the media craze with her latest comeback, Hyori has just proved that she is still invincible.

Below is the full MV of U-Go-Girl, featuring hip-hop artist Nassun…

On Air (2008) drama review from YeinJee's Asian Journal

The drama and producers are penalised for inappropriate frequency of product placement and overused of Hyori’s songs as soundtrack.

The drama will not be allowed to rebroadcast in Korea, and the show (producers) are required to make a public apology.

The drama, also titled Perhaps Love, is about two cancer patients who met each other in hospital and developed a relationship.

Despite the ban in its homeland, the drama is expected to recoup some of its investments with the strong marketability of the main cast in foreign countries.
