[KCM] : Really?

[Rain] : Ha, just kidding ! (laughter) Please be sure to tune in to it even after I leave the army. We’ll do our best to make this show big fun. And pop music reviewer ‘Lee Dae Hwa’ and pfc ‘Kim Jae Wook’ are to make guest appearances in part one and part two of this show, each.

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!

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

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] : 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..

[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.

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

[KCM] : (laughter)

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

[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] : 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

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)

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

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

-Shrek-

1:55~3:20

[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.

[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] : (interrupting KCM) (laughter)

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

[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.”

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 deeply appreciate your assistance.

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

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

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!

G-Dragon: But something about you looks different today. You have a cold look about you. Your eyes are filling with sympathy. In front of you, I look smaller

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.)

Full House Cast & Plot

Main Cast:
Han Ji-eun, an aspiring script writer, lives in a house called "Full House" built by her late father. One day, her two best friends trick her into believing she has won a free vacation. While she is gone, they sell her house. On the plane, she meets a famous actor named Lee Young-jae. Through comedic events, they get acquainted during her vacation and when she returns, she discovers her house has been sold to him.

Though they don't get along with each other as she is messy and he has a bad temper and likes cleanliness, they agreed to live with each other. At first, Ji-eun works as his maid in order to buy her house back, but because of Young-jae's wish to make the love of his life and Kang Hye-won jealous, they get married. They set up a contract for the marriage to last six months. During that time, complications arise and Ji-Eun and Young-Jae become attracted to each other.

Young-jae gives Ji-eun a hard time by asking her to do the chores first before letting her leave. But she has to meet Min-hyuk to submit her first synopsis. On the subway, she dozes off and accidentally leaves her recorder on the train. When Min-hyuk sees Ji-eun upset, he asks her what the matter is. She tells him about the recorder and they go to a mall to look for the exact same model. When they finally see the same model, Min-hyuk offers to buy the recorder for Ji-eun. In the end, she declines thinking a recorder from Min-hyuk isn't the same as the recorder from Young-jae.

Min-hyuk invites Ji-eun out to eat but Ji-eun says she has to do all the chores that day.

Ji-eun admits she's lost the recorder. Young-jae scolds her but offers to buy her another one. He even says they'll eat out for dinner.

But Hye-won has just met with Min-hyuk. Again, he tells her off saying he only sees her as a sister. He says she doesnt really love him but only wants to own him. Hye-won is upset and calls up Young-jae.

Grandmother and Mother are at the Full House. They scold her for not calling. Grandmother says Ji-eun and Young-jae should move in with them.

At the office, Young-jae's manager asks him if he is going to have dinner with them. He says he's going to have dinner at home instead. So his manager teases him saying how she didn't realize it before but his wife is really cute. And then Young-jae says how common Ji-eun's face is! "And yet," says his manager, "you can't wait to get home for dinner". Hehehe.

So Young-jae says he won't have dinner at home anymore. He'll even treat everyone out. But his manager says he ought to go home. He was going to insist he take them out for dinner when Ji-eun calls and tells him to get home as soon as possible.

When Young-jae gets to the Full House he's fussing about Ji-eun's bad cooking. "You ask me to go home early for this?" But Ji-eun says that's not the thing. And then she says how Grandmother said they'd have move in with his family next week.

Young-jae and Ji-eun prepare to go to Ilsan (where his family is) to try to fix things. He gives her some background on his family. And then he says not to worry about his Grandmother and the only reason she's giving Ji-eun a hard time is because she has a thing against pretty girls. So he's basically saying Ji-eun is pretty. (Hehe) But then true to his character, he takes it back by saying she shouldn't believe his Grandmother. Before they leave, Ji-eun tells Young-jae to put on his wedding ring too.

"What?!?" says Hye-won. "I think your busy, I'm sorry to bother you," and she leaves.

Je-eun receives a phone call from a publishing company and she thinks her story is going to be published now but when she gets there they're really just interested in Ji-eun writing a story on the actor Young-jae: The Secret Life of a Pop Star. Ji-eun asks for her manuscript back and curses at the publishing house. Hehehe.

She then remembers about Min-hyuk and how he's now in the publishing business as well. She is unable to see him, though, since he's in a meeting. She leaves her manuscript for Min-hyuk to check out. Min-hyuk is visibly glad to see something from Ji-eun with his mail.

They'll get divorced in 6 months time, she'll get alimony plus he will pay her for the time she stays with him. she refuses but when he says he will give her back the Full House, she finally agrees.

Young-jae is to propose to Hye-won. She reveals she likes Min-hyuk and Young-jae is unable to propose. Hye-won tells Min-hyuk she likes him but he tells her he only sees her as a sister and that Young-jae likes her very much. To get Young-jae out of the equation, Hye-won confronts Young-jae. Put in a difficult situation, Young-jae says he is in love with Ji-eun.


Ji-eun won’t give up her house so easily. But Young-jae says, "I also paid lots of money to get this house." So Ji-eun offers to pay Young-jae back for the Full House. When Young-jae tells her she doesn't have the money, really, Ji-eun says "you may have not known but I write internet stories. Its not something very big but everytime I make money from it you can take it. Plus the money I owe I promise to pay you back." She adds, "This house was built by my father that passed away. This isn't just my house, its also a part of me. I can't just give it up like that."

Rain & KCM’s 질주본능 (The Desire To Speed)~

Not only the fragrance of lilac blossoms but also the sweet smell of my shampoo fills the air, but why not try to retain a personal touch in our show?

1:10~2:18

[KCM]: Excluding the scent of a flower, what kind of smell do you like best?

[Rain] : I love the smell of sweat. (laughter)

[KCM] : I often yearn for the smell of our barrack when I go out and come back late at night (laughter)

[Rain] : Our barrack has an unusual odor, which makes me think of my uncle’s smell in my childhood days. (laughter) The odor from the place is almost enough to knock me out, so I spray a perfume on my body all the time and wash my combat uniform everyday not to let them saturated with such smell.

[KCM]: It has had such a smell for a long time, so I think it’s hard to overpower it.

Lee Joon′s Past Story about Ko Young Wook Rises to the Surface

With the current allegations against Ko Young Wook for raping a minor, an old video has risen in light of the controversy.
An old episode of SBS’ Strong Heart from 2011, featuring Park Han Byul, Yoo In Na, Nam Gyuri, MBLAQ’s Lee Joon, Ko Young Wook, Moon Hee Jun, SISTAR’s Hyolyn, and other stars has resurfaced on the Internet.


The issue that is being highlighted is the story of MBLAQ’s Lee Joon and his ex-girlfriend. Lee Joon began the story by announcing that someone in the studio had stolen his girlfriend - who turned out to be, to the surprise of the studio, Ko Young Wook.
Lee Joon had discovered a text from Ko Young Wook on his girlfriend’s cellphone, saying “If you meet with me next time, I’ll buy you something delicious.”

K-Drama & T-Drama reviews

So I have decided now would be a good time to start my K-drama & T-drama reviews, which will be started by the very first K-drama that I have watched which was, Full House. Since it has been a while since I ahve seen most of these shows I will be re-watching them all, so that will average out to about 3-7 episode summaries a day.

I hope that you guys will enjoy this, just so you know when I say summary I mean that I will be doing a play-by-play of what is going on which means if you plan on watching the show these summaries will not be for you because they will contain spoilers galore.

Here is a tentative schedule of what's to come:

Open World Entertainment Case Mega Post

Just yesterday multiple articles surrounding the arrest of Open World Entertainment's CEO Jang Seokwoo surfaced on the internet. The company's CEO was revealed to have been arrested on alleged charges of sexual harassment, assault, and rape of his agency's artists and trainees.

The CEO was arrested upon arrival in Korea after he and one of the company's boy groups came back from Japan. He was taken by undercover investigators after reports were filed a month ago, indicating his crimes as he is said to have assaulted at least 6 trainees. Officials have now already interviewed over 20 victims, uncovering more details surrounding the case. The police confiscated all CCTV footage of the building, and narrowed their field of interest down to the company's fifth floor, and the practice studio in the basement, where the assaults were revealed to have taken place.

The girl group trainees he allegedly assaulted were personally taken care of by the CEO, as he even did all their debut preparations himself, as well as driving them around in a van. The girls are no longer part of the company at the moment.

Junsu releases "Tarantellegra" MV



OVERALL IMPRESSION:
I have the slightest feeling that I was just mind raped. Was I the only one who had that feeling when the video was over. Junsu has lost weight, I noticed that in the beginning of tyhe video when I looked at his legs then his face.


I have a feeling that AKPF (American K-Pop Fans) will do HD stills of this video, which are great if you want to use them as your desktop wallpaper. So when they post that I will post a link to the page for the stills. Just don't steal them and post them and claim them as your own, because they do have a few watermarks on their pictures especially hidden ones. So that is coming soon.

A Pink releases "HUSH" MV

The things I find when I go to youtube. :)



My Impression:
Well I honestly have nothing really to say about this MV, I really prefered "My My". I mean it isn't a bad MV or song for that fact, it's just that I didn't really feel that "I LOVE THIS" vibe that I usually get from MV's. But I still love Eunji because she is awesome, hehe.

New Girl group HelloVenus, which is comprised of Yooara, Nara, Alice, Lime, Yoonjo, Yooyoung) has released their new song "Venus". They are also in the same company that debuted NU'EST earlier, Pledis Entertainment.



My Impression:
Well they aren't too bad and some of them have two of them bright hair colors, the blonde and mint colored haired one. I'm not really one for cutesy bubble gum pop songs but "Venus" wasn't that bad of a song.
