A few MVs from Korean pop star Lee Hyori which were used as commercial films for Anycall, a mobile phone brand established by Samsung. Hyori was the spokesperson for the brand in 2003-2007.
AnyMotion
“Anymotion” is the first of three instalments produced for Anycall; featuring Eric Mun from pop group Shinhwa. The video was a bit controversial for a few reasons (copycats and racism etc), but it’s quite cool nonetheless…
Some red carpet pics from Korea Drama Awards 2008 which was presented on November 1 at Jinju Castle in Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea…
Grand prize winner Kim Myung-min
The 43rd Golden Bell Awards were presented in Taipei on Friday (Oct 31); Golden Bell is Taiwan’s most prestigious radio and television broadcasting awards.
“Fated to Love You” won the best drama series as expected; Ariel Lin was crowned the best actress (in drama series) with “They Kiss Again”; while Jacky Wu and A-Ya claimed the best variety show hosts award with “Guess Guess Guess”.
Other winners are relatively unknown; couldn’t recognise most of the names to be frank. Sharing a few red carpet pics (from Sohu) instead…
The emcees - Patty Ho, Jacky Wu and Tian Xin
Halloween is primarily a western festival, but more and more young Asians are getting into the bandwagon these days, particularly those who live in big cities… seems like every pubs and night clubs in KL are having a Halloween party of some sort.
I’ve never been interested with Halloween celebrations though; it just doesn’t click for me. Anyway, Happy Halloween, and happy holiday to some of you folks…
342 video game fans joined forces in London last Saturday (Oct 25) to set a new world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as video games characters.
The Japanese must have no idea about the existent of the world record yet… they could easily smash the record by in one of their gamers/comics/anime festivals.
Coffee gets hotter in America. Drive-through coffee stands with bikini clad baristas are making waves in some American cities for the past year or two…
The concept is going to get some backslash for sure. Belfare, Washington, is the first township barring these sexpresso’s stands from business… I guess it’s just a matter of time before other places following their suit.
It’s probably not a problem if one or two coffee stands are getting sexier, but it’s obviously inappropriate when it’s becoming a trend. Imagine having a sexpresso stand at every corner of the streets… that would be like heaven kinda disturbing.
I have to be honest though… if I’m in US, I won’t mind at all to visit one of these coffee stands; and I could become a regular customer if their coffee doesn’t sux. Sex sells… and it almost never failed.
Hong Kong actress Gigi Lai announced on Monday (Oct 20) her retirement from entertainment world after 23 years into the show business.
The 37-year-old actress made the announcement during a promotion event for her latest (and probably last) TV series “The Gems of Life”.
Gigi stated that she wants to spend more time on family matters, presumably to take care of her brother who was badly injured in a car accident in May 2007.
There are rumours that another reason behind her decision is to prepare for her marriage with a low profile millionaire; she denied about it though.
Gigi has starred in more than 50 movies and drama series over the years. Her career first peaked in mid-90s with the “Young and Dangerous” movies, but then gone downwards for a few years before making a successful return into drama acting in 2004 and remains popular since then.
To be frank, I’m not really going to miss her acting… wishing her all the best anyway.
Korean pop star Kim Jong-kook is making his comeback after completing his two-year military service in May 2008. He released his 5th album yesterday (Oct 22), titled “Here I am”… should be interesting to see if he still got what it takes to excel in showbiz.
Below is the English subbed music video for the first promotional track, “Today more than Yesterday”. The video is cute; the song was not really appealing at first, but quite nice after listening to it for a few times…
