Popular Korean actor Ko Soo got married on February 17. Plenty of celebrity guests, including Lee Byung-hun (who emcee’d the event), Han Chae-young, Jo Hyun-jae, Jung Suk-won, Han Hyo-joo, Jung Woo-sung, Ji Sung, Gummy, Bae Soo-bin & Park Jung-ah etc. The groom decided to keep his non-celeb bride in private though.
A 2008 MV by Korean singer Yi Bul, who is now known by his stage name RUN. Decent song, but what interested me is the guest stars in the music video; his boss must have spent some good money (or goodwill) to make it happened…
The four actresses are members from popular Korean girl groups, i.e. Jung-ah from Jewelry, Sunye from Wonder Girls, Ga-in from Brown Eyed Girls, and Taeyeon from Girls’ Generation.

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.
