Brown Eyed Girls releases Gain,Jea, Miryo, and Narsha teaser for "Tonight 37.2°C"

I have never really been a truly big fan of Brown Eyed Girls but I did happen to enjoy Sixth Sense and La Boheme. For what I can hear drom the teaser, this song sounds like its going to be really good.
From what I hear, I can't tell if its going to be a sexy song, or a ballet. But with BEG, I am pretty sure it will be stuffed full of sexiness

ALRIGHT GUYS I AM BACK FROM MY HIATUS

So I am finally back from being super busy. I am officially back at school and am now back to the really slow internet that comes with it. Just because I have slow internet doesn't mean that I won't try to update daily.
Now I am hoping to do this like last school year, I will put up a post that will tell you that my posting will be slowing down for the following reasons: midterms, finals week, driving back home, and one major holidayss such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break and of course summer I will be working so that means my posting will be cut into about half. But all in all I will let you guys know what's going on. And if I don't and its not a holiday and I didn't post earlier about going home, it will be safe to assume that the internet at school is acting up.

Thanks for sticking with me,
Your Blogger,
Brittany :)

T-ara releases "Sexy Love" MV

So T-ara made a comeback with "Sexy Love" but for me my love for them kind of went down with the whole bullying controversy, but I will put that aside and just judge the video based on the video and song and not the people. But all in all they can't just stop making music just because something happened.

For those of you who have been completely oblivious to G-Dragon's comeback as a solo artist, I believe that you have been living under a rock for the past 2 weeks and you should probably get with the times.

Super Junior reveals their home life through an interview



Despite being busy with promotions for their comeback album "Sexy, Free & Single," Super Junior revealed snapshots of their dorm lives. The group has been generous with interviews before, but this time they were interviewed in their home. Eight members - Leeteuk, Donghae, Eunhyuk, Shindong, Sungmin, Siwon, Ryeowook, and Yesung - participated in this exclusive interview.

Holding the record for topping Taiwan's KKBOX charts for 109 weeks, Super Junior has been a key part of K-Pop whether it be through their dances, outfits, or style.

The members currently reside in a two story dorm in Seoul. The two floors combined make up approximately 430 square meters. There are eight rooms in the dorm. Although the fans know the location of the home, the security is quite tight and it is quite difficult to enter. Supposedly, fans often create graffiti outside the windows on the first floor.

Leader Leeteuk described their initial days - over eight years ago, they started living together after their debut. They lived quite close to the company building and were not yet very popular. At one time, 13 members were crammed into 105 square meters. At another time, they were even roommates with TVXQ making a total of 18 people living together.

Donghae reflected back and said, "We've been living in the dorms since our trainee days - it's already been over 12 years. I remember everyone used to fight over who could sleep next to the AC. I've lived with as many as 23 people before, and it wasn't until 2006 that we separated from living with TVXQ." Sungmin added, "After we were more popular, we were so happy to move to a place with 165 square meters. Those times will be very hard to forget. We didn't move here until 2009."

The company has a strict policy against female visitors. Other than the cleaning ladies, no other women are supposed to enter the dorm. However, the members revealed that while filming SBS's "Happy Sunday - Change," they gave Lee Hyori a tour of their rooms. Also, in March 2009 while filming MBC's "Let's Sleep Here Tonight," many other female stars visited the dorm.

Super Junior's home painted a full picture of how they live their lives. The refrigerator is stocked with easy-to-make foods as well as the many supplemental vitamins from fans. The clothes are all organized very nicely with t-shirts and shoes put in a neat manner. The group often uses reading as a way to relax, so the shelves are lined with their favorite comic books including "Hot Shot." Eunhyuk, who is known for his fashion and beauty products, has his own little corner of them. However, he is also the best at sleeping in. When he doesn't wake up, his group mates subject him to the "smelly feet punishment" to get him up.

Although it isn't necessary for the members to live together, they stated that doing so has deepened the bond among them. Furthermore, it provides a much safer environment for them. Donghae indicated that in the summertime, they would often all sleep in the living room with the AC on.

But what if they're seen? Leeteuk stated, "Whenever we run into the other tenants in the elevators, they seem very happy that we are here. Sometimes we'll have a lot of activities and we won't get back until late at night. We often have the chance to bump into some people who are slightly drunk and say, 'Hey Leeteuk, let's go eat together sometime!'"

As Super Junior often orders food such as noodles and pizza, they also have interesting encounters with delivery people. Some of them didn't realize that they would be going over to Super Junior's dorm and are pleasantly surprised once the door is opened. Shindong said, "Sometimes they don't believe that we are Super Junior and say 'You guys look a lot like Super Junior!' Sometimes we don't tell them that we are, haha, but we are Super Junior."

Younha releases color version of "Run"

Even in color, still love this song and Younha. I know that the video is the exact same one that was in the black and white version, but to me it gives off a different feeling. It's like watching your favorite black and white movie in color for the very first time, it gives you a whole different outlook and feeling then when it was in black and white. Honestly, I will love this song and video if it was extremely pixelated and in super low quality and those are two things that turn my off in videos especially the older kpop videos that aren't in HD. But enough of me talking, enjoy the video now in color. :)

Super Junior is BACK with "Sexy, Free and Single"

For those of you who haven't got a twitter, Free and Single has been trending for a couple of days before the release of the single worldwide. To me to have a trend that is trending that long was a big thing and it was funny how us kpop fans knew that it was trending because of us Elf's but then you had all these non-kpop related posts that dealt with peoples relationship status.

T-ara releases yet another mini'movie MV "Day by Day" + Behind the Scenes

2NE1 releases audio teaser for "I Love You" + Pictures

I am really excited for this comeback, even when they said that they were pushing it back my only thought was that they can only get better if they push it back. Since I fell in love with the girls and became a Blackjack, they have never disappointed me.

4Minute makes the Indian version of "Volume Up" in India



Maybe it's because I don't really pay much attention to Indian music but this video just started out strange to me. Especially the guy with the sax with his leg over his head. It just seemed like they went out to India and grabbed a bunch of people and made the video.

[Rain] : Go home! (laughter)

Part 2

0:25~1:44

-Popular music reviewer ‘Lee Dae Hwa’ -

[Rain] : How have you been?

[Lee Dae Hwa] : Because of the heat, I turned on the air conditioner for the first time this year.

[KCM] : I’m dying of the heat. We’re wearing combat fatigues, so on especially hot days we sweat a lot more.

[Lee Dae Hwa] : Don’t you wear your summer uniforms?

[Rain] : We wear summer uniforms only when we work in the office. Otherwise, we should wear combat fatigues. And, I know that soldiers in other army units only wear combat fatigues regardless of the weather

[Lee Dae Hwa] : I was enlisted in 2002, Back then, we rolled up our army jacket sleeves in the summer.

[KCM] : It’s already the last Sunday of May.

[Lee Dae Hwa] : Is it that late already?

[Rain] : Please don’t tell me! How time drags ! (laughter) I wish it would be the last Sunday of June. (laughter) After three months, I will be promoted to corporal. Please give me a big hand!

(a spatter of applause)

[KCM] : After two months, I will..

[Rain] : The next..(laughter)

2:02~3:09

‘Lee Dae Hwa’ introduced pop singer ‘G.NA’s title song ’2HOT’ from her third new single album ‘BLOOM’,

[Rain] : I was featured as a chorus singer in her first album a couple of years ago. She was very polite.

4:50~7:34

[Lee Dae Hwa] : Pop group ‘ULALA SESSION’s new album ‘Beautiful Night’ has been released.

Winning ‘Super Star K’, a national pop music competition, has made the group an overnight success in Korea.

Not long ago, Singer Psy, one of the panel of judges at the contest, boasted during a press conference, “I’ll climb Mt. Cheonggye, stripping to the waist if the number of contest participants exceed 2,000,000.”

[Rain] : I think Pys’s trying to take his top off is a pointless task. (laughter) Besides, he hates mountaineering. (laughter)

[Lee Dae Hwa] : ‘ULALA SESSION’s new song ‘It Has Been Spent’ was composed by ‘Yun Myung Seon’ who was JYP’s former manager.

9:17~

[Lee Dae Hwa] : Pop singer ‘John Mayer’ is no slouch on the guitar. He is a good singer and flirts with the girls. His 5th new alum has been released.

[Rain] : Singers are especially popular with actresses among women. My popularity was really skyrocketing in my high-school years. (laughter) As for popularity, I am today can’t hold a candle to what I used to be. (laughter)

[Lee Dae Hwa] : It is said overseas musicians reshape the musical instruments to create the new sound of music.

[KCM] : Is it possible to transform my voice?

[Rain] : I’ll renovate your voice by nailing with the hammer. (laughter)

[KCM] : What should I do if I lose my voice because of your attempt? (laughter)

[Rain] : Sorry, I will restate what I said earlier. Let’s forget about the matter. (laughter) I feel great today!

Part3

~1:45

[Rain] : I think that John Mayer sang much more sweetly than he has before. I wish I would perform to guitars a couple of grandfathers play in the middle of desert while enjoying myself over my whiskey and I would also dance in the middle of my performance when I’m older. (laughter)

[KCM] : I want to revive the songs I delighted to hear and perform when I’m older.

[Rain] : It’s not worth it. (laughter) You should be active as a teuroteu singer when you’re older. (laughter)

[KCM] : Will I perform in the middle of desert, too?

[Rain] : When I put you to work, you will perform as a teuroteu singer on the stage installed on a 8-ton truck or in a fork lift. You need only to make a lot of dough. (laughter)

[Lee Dae Hwa] : If Rain were to a composer for KCM, he (Rain) would write the most popular and funny songs of our generation.

[Rain] : KCM needs only to make a lot of money as his self-respect won’t pay the bills. (laughter)

1:48~6:24

[Lee Dae Hwa] : Singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles’s new mini album ‘Once Upon Another Time’. She is popular even in Korea. She sang a song to the accompaniment of piano this time.

[Rain] : The cost of singing a song to the accompaniment of piano would be extremely low. (laughter) But, it was too much of an expense to produce my songs. A huge effort was made to make my ‘Love Story’ song, but people didn’t realize that. (laughter) I want to let them know about how hard I try. So, I’d like to offer ‘Lee Dae Hwa’ to interview me someday.

[Lee Dae Hwa] : I think I have to talk to Rain about his music jober as a sudge, [A what as a what??? No such words LOL – Stephe ^@@^]

[KCM] : Can you interview me, too?

[Lee Dae Hwa] : Please come to me after recording a duet with Rain.

[KCM] : I have decided to be active as a teuroteu singer with Rain.

[Rain] : Please don’t make reckless remarks. (laughter)

[KCM] : If I get the chance, I want to show you my dancing.

[Rain] : Really? Actually, he was a B-boy.

[Rain] : Lee Dae Hwa, thank you for coming in today, and we’ll see you next week.

Part 4

0:13~

[Rain] : Shrek says, “You are already beautiful.”

[KCM] : Every lover sees a thousand graces in the beloved object.

-Talk with ‘Kim Jae Wook’ about movies-

0:33~0:41

[Rain] : KCM, why did you carry coals to Newcastle?

[KCM] : Why? why?

[Rain] : We spent too much time singing the chorus part of the logo song.

[KCM] : Please stop it now. (laughter)

[Kim Jae Wook]: What I’ve been dreading has finally happened (laughter)

0:42~

[Rain] : (interrupting KCM and beginning talking) (laughter) ‘Kim Jae Wook’, what kind of movie are you introducing today?

[Kim Jae Wook]: I’ll introduce 3 animations such as The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and Shrek.

[KCM] : I love animations.

- The Little Mermaid-

[Kim Jae Wook] : Let me recap the chronology up to the present point. ‘The Little Mermaid’ was released in 1989..

[Rain] : Under the sea~~(laughter)

[KCM] : Moondadassu? (a phonetic spelling of 문 닫았어? in Korean : Did you close the door? in English) (laughter)

[Kim Jae Wook] : It’s based on Andersen’s fairy tale.

[Rain] : KCM, did you translate “under the sea” as “is it close down?” or something?

[KCM] : No. You know what they say – When the Little Mermaid told the lobster, “Moondadassu?” (문닫았어? in Korean : ‘Did you close the door?’ in English)”, the lobster answered, “Andadassu” (안닫았어 in Korean : ‘I didn’t close the door’ in English) (no response) Sorry..

[Rain] : Come on out. (I’ll teach you a lesson) (laughter)

[KCM] : I apologize for having caused so much trouble. (laughter)

-The Little Mermaid-

[Kim Jae Wook] : ‘The Little Mermaid’ was directed by John Musker. He directed ‘Aladdin’, Hercules, The Treasure Island, ‘The Princess and the Frog’, etc. including the Little Mermaid.

2:26~4:01

[Rain] : I was very impressed when I saw ‘The Little Mermaid’, ‘Aladdin’, and ‘Beauty and The Beast’. The Walt Disney Company has never failed because they are changing with the times. It is said ‘The Little Mermaid’ was highly acclaimed for both its cinematic quality and its popularity.

[Kim Jae Wook] : It also won for art direction, and sound, and for those stunning visual effects.

[Rain] : That just reminds me of a scene. (in the movie)

[KCM] : You bring that up again. (laughter) (KCM thought Rain would say about the logo song for the radio show)

[Rain] : Please don’t laugh!

[KCM] : (laughter)

[Rain] : Please keep your hands off me! What an ugly face. (laughter)

[Rain] : That just reminds me of a scene in the movie. The lobster sang, “Under the sea~~” (laughter)

[KCM] : Moondadassu? (laughter)

[Kim Jae Wook] At least try once more.

[Rain] : “Under the sea~~” (laughter)

4:11~

[Kim Jae Wook] : The film’s musical director was Alan Menken. Alan Menken has also won eight Oscars for his work with films, and he has composed many songs of various genres. He has been involved mainly in Walt Disney’s films such as ‘Beauty and The Beast’, ‘Aladdin’, ‘Pocahontas’, ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’, ‘Hercules’, etc. He began finding a composer working in off-Broadway productions

5:11~6:23

[Rain] : I had to begin from the bottom of the ladder like Alan Menken. I had worked as a dancer at a club.

[Kim Jae Wook] : What’s the name of the club in Seosan district? (laughter)

[KCM] : Rain was famous as Seosan’s roller Jung. (laughter)

[Rain] : KCM, please be quiet! (laughter) Please don’t stare at me like that! (laughter) Please keep your hands off me! (laughter) I need a favor from you. I’m warning you for the last time—don’t touch me.

[KCM] : Sorry. (laughter)

[Rain] : Phew..miscasting! (laughter)

[KCM] : (laughter)

[Rain] : Please stop it. (laughter) Please abstain from pretending to hit yourself !

[KCM] : OK. Actually I was pretending to give myself a smack by clapping my hands.

[Rain] :Couldn’t I host this show by myself?

[KCM] : You’ll feel bored.

6~7:05

[Kim Jae Wook] :What’s the meaning of this, “under the sea”?

[KCM] : I’m not sure. (laughter) It means, “The door isn’t closed.”

[Rain] : It means “under the sea.”

[Kim Jae Wook] : Here is the translation for the sentence. (laughter)

7:33~8:00

[Rain] : Listener ‘#7227′, “I think that ‘Kim Jae Wook’ is on vacation.”

[Kim Jae Wook]: I’m not on vacation.

[Rain] : He can’t be here if he is on vacation. (laughter)

[Rain] : Listener ‘Silver Bead’, “I like The Little Mermaid best.”

I don’t like the Little Mermaid because she has only the upper body. (laughter)

8:10~8:39

[Rain] : Have you seen the fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean?

[Kim Jae Wook]&[KCM] : No, I haven’t.

[Rain] : Please be sure to watch the movie if you get the chance.

8:40~10:11

- The Lion King-

[Kim Jae Wook]: The Lion King, produced by Walt Disney, was released in 1994. It is too well known to need emphasis.

[Rain] : In the movie, the monkey chief picks up Samba..

[KCM] : It’s Simba, not Samba (laughter)

[Rain] : Hahahaha..that was on purpose. (laughter) I meant it for a joke. (laughter) Because I saw Samba Festival on TV this morning. (laughter) As the chief picked up Simba in the movie, my father picked me up when I was born at B children’s hospital in Nogosan-dong, Shinchon. (laughter)

[Kim Jae Wook]: The film was the first animation creation of Walt Disney, and it was the biggest box-office hit in Walt Disney’s history. At award ceremonies at that time, the movie carried off nearly all the awards.

10:12~11:55

[Rain] : When I went to New York, I was going to see some plays on Broadway, but all the tickets were sold. Musicals on Broadway were so popular that the tickets were sold out. Very famous actors and actresses did the voices of the characters in the animation.

[Kim Jae Wook] : Matthew Broderick played Simba, Jeremy Irons played Scar. Hans Zimmer was in charge of music for this film, and he was a piano prodigy at three.

[Rain] : So was I.

[Kim Jae Wook] : I know.

[Rain] : I was greatly admired because I was a great dancer. (laughter)

[KCM] (laughter) (failing to interrupt Rain)

[Kim Jae Wook]: Rain is endowed with extraordinary gifts.

[Kim Jae Wook]; ‘Hans Zimmer’ ever belonged to Pop group Buggles who sang ‘Video killed the radio star’.

[Rain] : Oh, I see! (screaming with excitement) I apologize for saying in a phlegmy voice.(laughter)

12:30~12:58

[Kim Jae Wook]; ‘Hans Zimmer’ participated in numerous films as a music director.

[Rain] : How many films did you see where he participated as a music director?

[KCM] : One, two..

[Rain] : Please don’t go at your opponents. (to KCM)

(When ‘Kim Jae Wook’ took Rain’s in talking)

KCM must have felt a proper charlie! (laughter)

[KCM] : Please turn off my microphones for a while! Let’s step outside the studio and talk.(laughter)

[Rain] : Go out alone. (laughter)

[KCM] : I can’t do that.

Part 5

0:22~1:55

[Rain] : Listener ‘#2322′, “You three seem to go back to when you were young because of animations.”

[Kim Jae Wook] : Listener ‘Lee Bo Ra’, “My parents ran a video shop in my childhood, so I saw many animations.”

[KCM] : Listener ‘Small Eyes’, “I enjoyed watching The Lion King with my father in my early days.”

[Rain] : Listener ‘Movie Star Rain Ahng’, “I watched 3D Lion King. Simba was honored by all animals when he was born.”

I was also honored by all nurses when I was born. (laughter)

[Kim Jae Wook] : Listener ‘#5123′, “Cute Lion King is the double of Rain, and stately Shrek is the double of KCM.” (laugther)

[Rain] : Samba!! He really resembles the body of Shrek. I’ll buy green underpants for KCM. (laughter)

[Kim Jae Wook] : (laughter)

[KCM] : I’ll paint Rain’s body brown. (laughter)

[Rain] : We should be nice and friendly to each other.

-Shrek-

1:55~3:20

[Rain]: The next is Shrek.

[KCM] : The scriptwriter seems to be even so hateful. (laughter)

[Kim Jae Wook] :Shrek was released in 2001. Starting with Shrek 1 and followed by Shrek 2 and 3, Shrek Forever has now been simultaneously released worldwide.

[Rain] : Shrek starring pfc ‘Kang Chang Mo’ (KCM) was highly acclaimed for both its cinematic quality and its popularity, (laughter) KCM, why did you move into the holes and wallow around in mud ?

[KCM] : I like applying a pack.

[Rain]: The Shrek films have also featured famous voices by Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas and Julie Andrews.

[Kim Jae Wook] : Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and Vincent Cassel did the voices of Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, and Cat, respectively.

[Rain] : Do you know Vincent Cassel ?

[KCM] : No, I don’t.

3:49~4:30

[Rain]: It is said Shrek is an adaption of the original story.

[Kim Jae Wook] : Yes, the Shrek films are based on William Steig’s 28 fairy tales in 1990.

[Rain]: He must have earned a lot of money.

[Kim Jae Wook] :The film is definitely worth a ticket.

4:37~5:35

[Rain] : KCM, do you think you’ll do another Shrek?

[KCM] : I haven’t made any plans yet..

[Rain] : The next is.. (laughter)

[Rain] : Listener ‘#2654′, “Rain and KCM, if you two do voice acting in animated films, what kind of role do you want to play?

I think KCM and I will do the voices of Shrek and Simba, respectively.

[KCM] : I want to do the voice of Baby Octopus Prince in animation ‘Dooly’.

[Rain] : (interrupting KCM) (laughter)

Listener ‘#7865′, “My sister cares for my sick father, holding down a job. Please tell her to get motivated.”

It’s difficult caring for a sick family member and holding down a job to pay debts. #7865, cheer up!

5:36~7:10

[KCM] : Listener ‘#9272′, “I live in Chuncheon. Someone is water-skiing in the pouring rain. He looks cold, but it looks fun.”

[Kim Jae Wook] : Listener ‘#1244′, “I’m making seasoned spicy chicken. How about a girl who has the right touch about cooking?”

[Rain] : My ideal woman is a woman who is good at cooking, but I also like a pretty woman… I’ll have to think about it.

[Rain] : Listener ‘#1805, “You two always have such a funny show.”

[KCM] : Listener ‘Welcome Rain’, “It’s been 1400 days since I dated my angelic boyfriend. Everyone I know tells me, ‘Are you still dating with him?’ I’ll date with him for the better.”

[Rain] : Throughout four years they have been dating. I think it’s time to end it. (laughter)

[Kim Jae Wook] : Listener ‘Silver Bead’, “In movie Shrek, Donkey married Dragon, and they had a winged donkey. They are big shots.”

7:20~

[Rain] : Unfortunately, today is Kim Jae Wook’s last day of work here. What happened to you?

[KCM] : Really?

[Rain] : Are you fed up with me?

[Kim Jae Wook] : Because I’ve been exhausted these days.

[KCM] : May I ask you a question?

[Kim Jae Wook] : I don’t think you should ask me a question. (laughter)

[Rain] : I’ll do it.

[Kim Jae Wook] : I really enjoyed working with you two, but it is regrettable that I have to part with you.

[Rain] : I deeply appreciate your assistance.

[Kim Jae Wook] : I’m worried about you.

[Rain] : There is no need to worry.

[Kim Jae Wook] : I’m worried about KCM. (laughter)

[Rain] : I’ve heard ‘Kim Jae Wook’ will host a good radio show.

[Kim Jae Wook] : I think I’ll have a regular slot on a programme soon. I really appreciate what you’ve done for me during my short stay. Lastly, let me introduce Smash Mouth’s All Star, the theme song of movie Shrek.

Part 6

0:20~3:13

[Rain] : Listener ‘Lee An Seung’, “I’m a corporal with little time (70 days) left in the army here in Hwacheon. I started dating with a woman last year in May, and I dated with her for around one year. I was happy dating with her when I was on vacation or when she visited me, but I often felt a deep sense of unease and couldn’t help feeling sorry for her because it was quite difficult for us to meet with each other. Meanwhile, she and I had a bust-up early April this year and I just broke up with her. Still I cannot give her up. Anyway, I want to thank her for having been really patient with me via radio.”

I hope he’ll make her a humble apology for his misconduct as it is not easy for a woman to wait for a soldier who is limited in activity. Hope he made peace with her by now.

[KCM] : I feel the same way, too.

3:14~6:14

[Rain] : Listener ‘Terry’, “I want to thank ‘Kim Jae Wook’ for letting us know about good films. I hope he’ll make a guest appearance on this show again.”

I hate it when he’s here because he is more handsome than me. (laughter)

[KCM] : Listener ‘Artist JW’, “I look forward to meeting ‘Kim Jae Wook’ again.”

[Rain] : Listener ‘#5955′, “‘Kim Jae Wook, I am grateful to you for your help. Rain, please don’t feel sad because you can meet him in your barrack every day.”

Now that I have parted from him, I feel better. (laughter) And, we are living in living complex, not in barrack. We’ve been living in living complex for a long time.

[Rain] : Listener ‘My Love Boku’, “I’m sorry to see ‘Kim Jae Wook’ go. I hope the show will become a popular program.”

Nonsense! This show has already become a popular program, and it makes no odds to me whether he goes or stays.

[KCM] : Listener ‘Kim NA Rae’, “I visited Kyungbuk Palace with my mother today, so I couldn’t listened to the show.”

[Rain] : Please be good to your parents. You’ll have to listen to the show next time.

[Rain] : Listener ‘#0415′, “I’m baking the bread.”

I really like bread, but I’m on a diet and can’t eat bread.

[KCM] : Listener ‘Type B’, “My mother made kimchi pancakes for me, so I was so happy.”

[Rain] : This food is really great. It would be perfect if the food contains squids, oysters, and mussels, and if I have some makgeolli to go with it.

[KCM] : It would be perfect if the food even contains vegetables such as water parsley, etc.

[Rain] : Listener ‘Movie Star Rainy’, “I’ve run out of coffee, so I’m drinking milk, instead.”

Her nickname Movie Star Rainy is groovy, isn’t it?

[KCM] : Listener ‘#3462′, “Time goes by too quickly. I can’t wait until next week.”

[Rain] : We’ve been having very unpredictable weather lately, so I think I must release the rain.

6:16~

[KCM] : Listener ‘#3010′, “The radio show has almost reached the end. See you next week.”

[Rain] : There is plenty of work to be done in our unit today. KCM, what are your plans for today?

[KCM] : I have only to do as I am told by my seniors. (laughter)

[Rain] : We’ve never brought you to heel.

[KCM] : I’ll do something myself.

[Rain] : Now that you’ve brought it up, I will ask you a favor. Will you mind doing my laundry?

[KCM] : I am quite prepared to do it.

[Rain] : Wow! (laughter) It was meant to be humorous, so please don’t get me wrong. Actually, I’m quite open with KCM.

All right, everyone, thank you so much for joining us here on The Desire To Speed today. (laughter)

[KCM] : Everyone, have a nice weekend!

[Rain] : See you next week!

(singer ‘Sung Si Kyung’s ‘Good Bye, My Love’)

Recap of Jay Parks Verizon APAHM tour Washington D.C and New York City

The Verizon Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM) Tour is an annual tour that brings top Asian artists to the United States for a series of performances. Past artists to dominate the Verizon APAHM Tour stage include Vanness Wu, Evonne Hsu, JJ Lin, Mike Relm, Epik High, Far East Movement and Se7en.

This year, Korean-American singer, songwriter, producer, and dancer, Jay Park is headlining the Verizon APAHM Tour.

The APAHM tour kicked off on May 19th in Washington D.C. at the Filmore Silver Spring to a wonderful crowd. The next stop of the tour brought the crew to New York City on the 20th at the Best Buy Theatre. With DJ KHo leading the show throughout the night, comedian Joey Guila took the stage as emcee, warming up the crowd with his comedic tribute to Asian culture.

T-ara covered “Bingeul Bingeul” by Nami, who you have probably never heard of but was beloved throughout the 80′s and 90′s. With T-ara’s last few hits having a distinct retro flair, I’m not surprised at all to see them cover a track like this

JYP- Someone Else ft Ga In & You're the One (Comeback)


Saturday, May 19, 2012

Coffee Episode 6 sypnosis

At the art gallery opening, Eun Chan recognizes Yu Ju and runs off, trying to hide her face, afraid of being found out. Han Sung talks to Yu Ju while Eun Chan goes to the bathroom, and when Eun Chan sees them talking, she’s bummed to realize Yu Ju is Girl B. She mutters in dismay that Girl B was supposed to be ugly.

Seeing Han Gyul unexpectedly show up (he’d said he couldn’t make it), Eun Chan tries harder to hide. I like that Eun Chan still acts in the same boyish way even when she’s dressed up prettily — despite the fact that she’s completely female, she’s not comfortable with feminine frills, and that makes sense to me.

Unable to escape the notice of the others, Han Sung drags Eun Chan over for introductions (he half-jokingly refers to her affectionately as his “girlfriend” and also his “kid friend”). But Han Gyul’s fixated on Yu Ju and doesn’t notice anything. Yu Ju doesn’t get a good look at her face, and doesn’t recognize her either.

Coffee Prince Episode 5 sypnosis

Han Gyul awakens to see Eun Chan hovering right over him, but they’re interrupted by Ha Rim, who sleepily comes downstairs to ask what they’re up to, then teases them, asking if they’re dating. To which Eun Chan stammers that they’re not.

Han Gyul smiles as he reads the notes attached to the milk Eun Chan brought him:

Ha Rim, Eun Chan, and Han Gyul go out for breakfast, where they wonder why Ha Rim’s sleeping at the store. He’s been kicked out from home because he doesn’t want to go into the family business. He mentions hating knives and blood, and Eun Chan perks up, asking if they’re butchers (everything’s meat-oriented with her, haha) — I wonder if maybe they’re doctors?

Seeing Eun Chan eyeing his food, Han Gyul laughingly gives up his kalbi (beef ribs) to her. Cute.

Coffee Prince Episode 4 sypnosis

After Han Gyul blows up at Eun Chan for messing up the order, Yu Ju takes him out to cool off. Despite losing his temper, she tells him it’s nice to see him worked up about something, since he’d always been rather apathetic.

To cheer him up, she grabs his hand and swings it like a kid, and although I understand she’s being silly on purpose, this annoys me. She knows Han Gyul has feelings for her, and they know she’s not available — so what she’s doing is sending him mixed signals. She gets to put on an innocent face and say, “But I didn’t mean anything by it,” but if she’s clearly aware of his feelings, she’s being pretty irresponsible.

Coffee Prince Episode 3 synopsis

Han Gyul flatly rejects his grandmother’s proposition that he work alongside the slovenly Mr. Hong in running Wang Ja Coffee (which means “prince coffee”), only to have his grandmother immediately cut off support (partially). She has his car towed, and sends movers over to clear out his apartment, informing them he will be vacating right away.

He tries to sweet-talk his granny (also Dal Ja’s granny), who’s upset at Han Gyul’s mother (also Samsoon’s mother) for pampering him so much. It’s because she coddled him and never pushed him that he’s grown to this age not knowing what real work is. Han Gyul agrees to work for her if she gives him a job at the company (“A supervisor slot should be fine”) but she insists: If he doesn’t work in the cafe, he’s on his own. She gives him three months to succeed. Han Gyul is on bad terms with his father; the two refuse to acknowledge each other for reasons that have yet to be disclosed.

Coffee Prince Episode 2 symopsis

Han Gyul asks Eun Chan if she wants to work for him acting as his boyfriend. He can see Eun Chan needs money but doesn’t trust her enough to just lend it to her, so he’d rather hire her.

All he wants her to do is show up at his matchmaking blind dates, and she figures it sounds easy, as long as she’s getting paid. They argue over price, and Eun Chan has to settle for far, far less than she’s hoping (about $100 each time), but says she’ll charge him for all the extras — clothing, food, and each instance of physical touching on an “a la carte” basis (charging per each touch to the face, shoulder, waist, etc). Being in a money crunch, Eun Chan asks for advance payment, which he gives.

Despite Han Gyul’s fussiness over his car, not allowing her to touch anything, Eun Chan raises the convertible top and enjoys the ride. Han Gyul, initially annoyed at her antics, smiles to see her having so much fun.

Eun Chan runs into Han Sung in their neighborhood, and let me take a slight detour to profess how much I’m digging Lee Sun Kyun.

Coffee Prince Episode 1 sypnosis

The story’s pretty simple: EUN CHAN is a hard-working young woman who looks (and acts) like a boy — so much so that people even question her when she insists she’s female. She works multiple jobs, delivering jjajangmyun (Chinese-style noodles) and milk, and teaching Taekwondo. She’s used to being mistaken for a boy, but doesn’t really seem to care. She’s also got a huge appetite.

HAN GYUL is a rich, conceited ladies’ man who’s got women throwing themselves at him left and right. His mother and grandmother are after him to marry and stop playing around with his life, although they too aren’t immune to his charm when he deflects with sweet words. His grandmother is the head of a large (food?) company and he’s been living off her money, and agrees to go on a matchmaking date to appease her. (Han Gyul’s a playboy, but has a soft spot for YU JU, who used to date his older cousin, HAN SUNG (Lee Sun Kyun of the swoony velvety voice.) That rounds out our main love rectangle.)
