A compilation video with over a decade of commercials (1999-2011) for Korean beauty and cosmetics brand Etude, featuring popular stars Jun Ji-hyun, SES, Song Hye-kyo, Go Ara, Jang Geun-suk, Park Shin-hye, Lee Minho and Sandara Park etc.
The current product endorsers for Etude are pop groups SHINee and f(x).
Korean star Jang Geun-suk has topped Japan’s Oricon weekly chart with his debut single, Let Me Cry. He’s said to be the first foreign artist to top the authoritative Japanese chart with a debut single.
Jang’s previous drama, You’re Beautiful, was a huge hit in Japan and across Asia, which probably explains why the rookie (singer) managed to top the chart.
The feat still appears as a little surprise, as all eyes were on Jang’s Korean compatriot, Girls’ Generation, who came close at second spot with their first original Japanese single, Mr Taxi. How ironic is that the girl group’s attempt to top the chart is spoiled by a fellow countryman of all people.

Red carpet photos from the 46th Korean Baeksang Arts Awards which was presented on March 26, 2010, in Seoul. I would have found my way there if I had learned about the event a bit earlier; too bad I only realised about that when it’s showing live on TV. Images from Newsen [Kr]. Winners here.
