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.
