Super Junior & Girls’ Generation – Seoul Song music video

Yein Jee — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:57:45 +0000

Korean music video of Seoul Song, a tourism promotional video featuring members from pop groups Super Junior and Girls’ Generation. I’ve been to most of the places in the MV, which are popular hangout spots for Seoulites but not really that charming for tourists. Ok song, cute video though…

Seoul is…

Yein Jee — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:43:02 +0000

Some videos asking some Korean and international stars about what “Seoul is…” to them. The interviews are at least a few months old and most were probably scripted; featured celebs (according to sequence) are Rain, Daniel Henney, Hugh Jackman, Ruby Lin (Taiwan), Girls’ Generation, TVXQ and Super Junior…

SuJu’s Kang-in, DUI, hit & run

Yein Jee — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:04:26 +0000

Korean pop group Super Junior’s member Kang-in, who was indicted for a bar brawl last month, is in trouble again… a bigger trouble in fact.

He was booked for fleeing the scene after causing a traffic accident under the influence of alcohol in early morning of October 16 [more on Koreatimes]

Kang-in only turned himself in six hours later, probably after consultation with his company; both the artist and company have issued public apologies (to the fans).

Apology WTF. He could have killed someone; luckily nobody was seriously hurt in the accident. DUI was bad enough, and running away instead of checking the victims? It’s a disgrace dude.

Korea ends celebrity endorsement for school uniforms

Yein Jee — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 07:49:13 +0000

Korea’s major school uniform makers have agreed to end all celebrity endorsements indefinitely before the new school term begins in March; the cost cutting decision was made following government’s demand to halt the rising prices of school uniforms.

It’s a good call from the government and manufacturers, but some fans might mourn that they won’t be seeing their favourite idols in cute uniforms in near future. Sharing here some star-studded Korean school uniform commercials to ease their pain lol…

The 6th annual MTV Asia Awards was held last Saturday (Aug 2) at Arena of Stars in Genting, Malaysia. I watched the delayed telecast at home… a decent show.

Don’t bother too much about the results though; their awards have always been dubious and it seems like the ‘tradition’ will continue to be preserved…

2008 MTV Asia Awards coming to Malaysia

Yein Jee — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:35:11 +0000

MTV Asia Awards (MAA) 2008 is coming to Malaysia.

MAA, one of the most popular pop events in Asia, is making its debut in Malaysia. The show will be held at the Arena of Stars in Genting City of Entertainment, Malaysia, on August 2, and will be hosted by Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars.

There will be nine regional favourite artist awards and seven international awards to be presented. Among the nominees are Avril Lavigne & Justin Timberlake & Leona Lewis (International), Chris Li (China), Andy Lau & Eason Chan & Joey Yung (Hong Kong), Big Bang & Suju & Wondergirls (Korea), Nic Teo & Siti Nurhaliza (Malaysia), Stefanie Sun (Singapore), Jolin Tsai & S.H.E (Taiwan) etc.

As far as I know, none of the celebrities have confirmed their attendance yet, but judging from the past experiences, most of the winners were pretty supportive of the show… it’s one of the largest of its kind in Asia after all.

It’s not easy to get a ticket though; it’s something that money can’t buy. The fans have to get the tickets via contests by voting for their favourite artists [details]… the fans need some luck obviously.

Karen Mok is going to co-host the event with Jared Leto. Electrico, Jabbawockeez, Leona Lewis, Li Yuchun, OneRepublic, Panic at the Disco, Pussycat Dolls, Super Junior, Stefanie Sun, The Click Five and The Script have confirmed their appearances.

Update – the winners.

Music video of Kissing You by Korean pop group Girls’ Generation from their debut album, starring Donghae from boyband Super Junior…

Finally, a song from SNSD that sounds like a chart-topper; the girls are going for a softer and cuter style which obviously is more appealing to the male fans as compared to their initially more mature image. [Video via QueenBoA123@Youtube].

Korean celebrity fans in blog war

Yein Jee — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 16:39:23 +0000

The fans of Lee Teuk from Korean boyband Super Junior and figure skating star Kim Yu-na are sending hate messages to each other on their personal blogs after a recent miscommunication.

The blog war started when Lee mentioned in a radio show that his request to exchange blogroll with Kim was rejected by the 16-year-old figure skating star.

Lee’s fans began sending hate messages on Kim’s blog shortly after, and Kim’s fans retaliate. As of the time of writing, the message board for both SuJu and Kim has been shut down temporarily.

SuJu’s fans are giving themselves a bad name really. Just a month ago, some of the fans posted hatred message to a girl after a picture of her posing with one of Suju’s group members was spread online… the girl was so depressed with all the harassment that she finally committed suicide.

Seems like they haven’t learned a lesson from that.
