Super Junior on KBS Song Festival 2010

I'm watching KBS Song Festival 2010 on tv right now and I just can't help but notice Super Junior's amazing performance! Of course there were other insanely awesome performances, such as Kara, SNSD, B2st, etc, but Super Junior seriously stood out. They all looked really super hot and sexy!! I loved their straight and serious faces! I loved Eunhyuk's dancing!! Of course he's known to be the best dance in the group and he definitely is, also he's really cute! hehe =) I loved how all their voices were so amazing especially Kyuhyun!! You know he's by far the best singer in the group but one other person seriously stood out, do you know who it is? Ryeowook!! His voice is so strong and different from the group that it stands out so much! I love this song because it's catchy and it's pretty different from the other kpop songs.

C.N. Blue

Last night I stayed up into the weeee hours just watching Youtube. Ahh...I miss you Youtube! Lol, I haven't watched any Youtube videos in sooo long. I got to watch SS501 and Kara on Intimate Note. I really like that show. I remember watching SNSD and Fly to the Sky on that show. FTTS made me cry soooo much! Being able to watch SS501 after not having any dosage of them in 3 months made me so happy! It made me realize why I love them and how much more I do!

So afterwards..I was browsing my subscriptions on Youtube and came upon this little clip of TaeWoo.



I'm watching it...and watching...and I'm thinking, that boy next to TaeWoo is interesting! Who is this person and where is he from? If you continued on into the clip he talks about being in Code Name Blue. I totally googled that group. I came across HotSpicyKimchi's blog and I found out that they go by the name C.N. Blue. They are an Indie group who is similiar to F.T. Island and is also in the same company as them. Their music is very catchy. What I'm wondering that I didn't get the chance to find out is if they're from the United States or not. YongHwa who is in the clip is very cute and he speaks english well. He seems to have a really good sense of humor. I am definitely looking forward to these boys!



Lol...I might be a little bit late on finding out about them but come on...I'm just barely getting back into KPOP! Ahh...I sooo miss you Kpop World!

Recently, a survey conducted from Japan’s biggest portal site, Yahoo Japan, on ‘Prettiest Belle of the Korean Girl-Groups’, resulted Kara’s Goo Ha Ra as the 1st, while SNSD’s Tae Yeon and Yoona were voted 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Kara’s Goo Ha Ra was voted the 1st as she has a small body and clear facial features on a small faces, which are the ideal face and body shape for Japanese.

Tae Yeon was voted as the 2nd because of her friendly, yet lovely image, while the 3rd, Yoona, captured the Japanese fans with her innocence and cute charms.

Furthermore, Jessica of SNSD was voted 4th, Kara’s Kang Ji Young as 5th, SNSD’s Soo Young as 6th and After School’s Yoo So Young as 7th on the chart.

On a side note, Kara, the 5-member group including Goo Ha Ra, are releasing their new album on the 30th and making a comeback stage at KBS 2TV’s ‘Music Bank’ on the 31st.


I do have to admit that Hara is really cute! Whenever I watch Kara on Youtube Hara is the one that captures my attention most, although she seems like the most quiet one. Taeyeon is also pretty but I don't really think that Yoona is pretty..sad to say but she's over hyped.

Arirang - Hollywood Bowl 2009 - SNSD, ISAK, SHINee, SS501, Lena Park, etc

Pretty interesting! Especially lovin' the SS501 part! It also shows little clips of the performance at the Hollywood Bowl 2009 and the artist and song titles along with it in case you don't know. I enjoyed the concert a lot but if you didn't get to see it then maybe this would be a good video to watch! Enjoy!

Totally loved the performance by Son Ho Young - I know!!

Anti SNSD?

Wow...? Did anyone see this? This is insane...what's all this Anti SNSD all about? I for one don't really care much for them. I won't go out of my way for them but if they're there then they're there. They are entertaining at times and they aren't that horrible as this video makes them to be. I don't know...

Well...I went to the Hollywood Bowl and people enjoyed them a lot. There were a lot of screams and yells and I saw a lot of SNSD fans. I don't think anyone turned their backs on them...not that I know of, so I'm guessing that campaign didn't work out...

I guess I shouldn't get into this whole issue anyways...

AS LONG AS IT'S NOT ANTI-SS501 THEN I'M GOOD! NO ONE BETTER START HATING ON SS5O1 OR ELSE!!

Netizens love So Nyeo Shi Dae Jessica and Park Jung Hyun’s rendition of ‘You Raise Me Up’

The duet ‘You Raise Me Up’ sang by So Nyeo Shi Dae Jessica and Lena Park (Park Jung Hyun) during the Korea Music Festival at Hollywood Bowl on 9th May has become the topic amongst netizens.

After the performance, Park Jung Hyun and Jessica said, “It was fun”, “Really fun and interesting”. This is the first time the 2 sang together.

Other than Jessica, other members like Tiffany and Sunny had performed with Lena Park before. For instance, Sunny performed with Lena Park on ‘The Starry Night’ during a radio show on MBS in 2007.

Meanwhile, netizens’ responses to this stage area also overwhelming and positive

I would have to say that Jessica is by far..one of SNSD member that I notice most. Not only did I love Lena Park and her performance, having Jessica come out of no where was a special treat! They were really good together but I DO have to admit that Lena Park took the show. She's really good! Especially her high pitches. I grew up listening to Lena Park so when I saw her at the Hollywood Bowl I was really really excited. I really enjoyed it a lot!

TaeYeon duet ‘A Goose’s Dream’ with Lee Jeok causes topic amongst netizens

A video of So Nyeo Shi Dae TaeYeon singing a duet ‘A Goose’s Dream’ with singer Lee Jeok has become a topic amongst netizens.

The 2 were at LA Hollywood Bowl on 9th May where they sang the duet. And the fanvideos of the performances were uploaded online.

The song is a remake of the original ‘A Goose’s Dream’ by singer In Sooni in 1997 , but with a different feel than the original version.

Fans’ responses to the video, “TaeYeon is really something. Even her high pitches are so natural and great”, “This is a very touching scene of a senior and junior singer singing together” etc.

At the concert no one expected Taeyeon to come out but when she did everyone started screaming!! She was really good, especially her high pitches. When Lee Juk appeared for the first time he played "I'm fortunate/glad" on the piano and everyone went crazy! You know why?? Because it reminded them of the time that HJ sang the song to Hwangbo on WGM!!! I really like the song.

Yoona and Kim Hyunjoong were school uniform models in the photoshoot, and looked almost the same as they do now, but with a slightly younger feel.
