Korean girls group – battle of chicken CF

Yein Jee — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:48:37 +0000

Fried/roasted chicken must be a huge biz in Korea, or perhaps it’s cheap to hire Korean celebs to endorse their product, or probably a bit of both.

Sharing here some Korean commercials featuring popular girls groups SNSD, Wonder Girls, Kara and 4minutes for different chicken restaurant chains…

SNSD – Goobne Chicken

SNSD has been endorsing Goobne Chicken for almost two years; video below is their third CF edition for the brand… [check out their previous dance battle CF]

Mighty Mouth ft. Insooni – Laugh music video

Yein Jee — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:48:43 +0000

English subbed MV of Laugh (웃어) by Korean hip hop duo Mighty Mouth, featuring R&B diva Insooni. The song is the first track from the duo’s Smile mini-album…

The song is just ok for me, but I like its a-laughter-a-day-keeps-the-doctor-away theme. Another attraction of the video is the cameos from host of Korean stars, i.e. 4minute, Kara, After School, 2am, Epik High, Lee Seung-gi, Baek Ji-young, Taegoon, Kim Jong-kook, Kim Tae-woo, Jung Juri and Jewelry S etc.

Ninja Assassin (2009) movie trailer

Yein Jee — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:43:01 +0000

Trailers for Ninja Assassin, starring Korean pop star Rain, his first leading role in a Hollywood film. Looks like a typical Hollywood action movie, but not bad…

Rain plays an assassin who was trained to be a killing machine since he was a kid; but ran away from the group after seeing his friend mercilessly executed by the clan. He later saved a Europol agent (Naomie Harris) who is investigating the organisation and the duo work together to bring down the clan.

Check out previous video and photos of Rain training with the stunt and martial arts team. The movie will release in American cinemas on November 25.

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.
