Kim Hye-su's great affection

I am pleased more that my lover, Yu Hae-jin got an award

Kim Hye-su announced that she has a great show of affection of his lover, Yu Hae-jin.

He received the Best Supporting Award as a movie actor, 'Moss'( in Korean 이끼)
in 31th Blue Dragon Movie Award on 26th November,2010.
He anounced "During my lover is right beside me and I get award..."
right after he received the reward.
This day the announcer asked him "Probably your lover, Kim Hye-su can advise you felt about receiving award." and then Yu Hae-jin cunningly said "Pass"
so he raised a laugh with his joke.

Following his annoucement, Kim Hye-su answered "He has a good sence" wittly.
And Lastly, she said, "This year, it is so competitive to choose a Best Supproting Award.
It is a natural result that whomever get the award,
anyway I am really pleased that Yu Hae-jin get the award".

They were back from a long break.

I like Brown Eyed Soul the best. This group is comprised of four members who are Jung Yup, Naul, Sung Hoon, Young Jun.

They are going to be completed through the third formal album since Brown Eyed Soul have released single ablums(2010. 3,5,7) and ad music(9). They released an album titled 'Brown Eyed Soul', Thier group name, in nearly three years. and then have topped to most sound source chart without their broadcast appearance. The title song 'If it was the same,..(똑같다면)' reached number 1 in the charts.(Melon, Soribada, Monkey3, M.net chart) It's extremely rare for singers are ranked No.1 without thier broadcast appearance. I think this success is to sing very well because being able to sing well is the most important quality that a singer should have. especially, Naul and Jung Yup have a matchless voice. I also think that too many singers have become famouse for their looks, and not their singing ability.

In this activity, they are going to prove their worth 'singers perfoming'. Without broadcast appearance plans, in this activity, They are going to show only through a cross-country tour in Korea. They think to perfoming is to public relations.

There are lots of idol group the world of singers in Korea, but The musics of Brown Eyed Soul stimulate our curiosity. it is as mysterious as This group awaken hopes.



Han HyeJin who is Naul's sweetheart have made an apperance in music video of Brown Eyed Soul

Today's Movie : A Psychic (Kang Dong-won, Go su)

The new released movie 'A Psychic' is going to hit two million record.
Korean famous two actors, Kang Dong-won and Go su  played the lead roles and according to online statistics, the movie drew over 181 million in 13 days and was ranked number one in Korea's box office.
It's been about 3weeks since it was released, but still there are about 5 million people a day on weekdays and 10 million people on weekends who go to the theater to check out how great this movie is. So, it sure will hit 200 million very soon.

A Psychic is a story of a mysterious man who controls people with his eyes (Gand Dong-won) and the only man who is immune to the power. (Go su).
Gyu-nam (Go su) works at a small pawnshop. One day, a psychic comes into there to steal money, so to do that,  he starts controlling the people, but only one guy, Gyu-nam struggles and starts moving breaking the psychic's magical power. The panicked psychic kills people and everything is recorded on CCTV. The psychic starts chasing Gyu-nam who can blow his peaceful life, and also Gyu-nam starts to chase the psychic who devastated his peaceful life.

This movie attracts the attention of the public with the two main actors who are loved by thousands of young fans and this is even called 'The most beautiful casting ever'.

Meanwhile, it has gotten many love-calls from outside of Korea, so they completed for a total of seven contracts with  Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg.

Here is one of famous lines from the movie. 'Who is going to win? You fighting agaisnt lots of me, or me fighting only against you?', 'You shouldn't have met me..'

I haven't watched this movie yet, but one of my friends called me two days ago and said that I MUST see this movie. :P He is a moviegoer, so I guess it came out pretty good :)

There are many kinds of magical powers such as reading people's mind, or moving things without touching, or foreseeing the future.
If I could have one power among these three, I would choose moving things without touching. If I could read people's mind, I think I would go crazy someday, cause I wouldn't be able to have a romance (since I would always hear what he is thinking now which is boring and can be awful), or sometimes I would hear things I didn't want to hear. If I could foresee the future, there would be no exciting things and I would die of boredom or misery of a fact that I can't do anything about things that are going to happen to me or people that I love.

What would you have if you could have one magical power? :3 Please tell me yours~!

A controversy about Korean idol singers

Since 2009, young Korean idol singers and groups have been flooding the Korean music industry.
When people first listen to some of their songs before seeing their actual performance on stage, they think like 'Is this a song? Can this kind of 'stuff' be called a song?' and they also conclude that they will fail this time.
Surprisingly, however, with their gripping dancing, cute and pretty faces and dizzing stage manners, the song that was called 'terrible' before, ranks first after only one week of their come-back stage or even on that day of their come-back stage thanks to a great number of their existing fans.

This phenomenon is causing a serious problem that it's good to WATCH them, but not LISTEN to them. I am not saying all idol singers are like this, so please don't get me wrong. Of course they are great and well-trained idol singers, but generally most of idol singers have some issues with their skills and I think they should face up to the reality and must do something.

The current Korean music industry is obviously in a crisis that people don't open their wallets to spend money on low quality albums which have only clonish songs that make you bored after 20times of listening or 10times(some might say they are not worth listening at all without watching their performing). Many music makers complain that people don't buy albums and just download them, so sales have been seriously down.  It's true that as MP3 players has been popular and the economy has been still down, people prefer to download music, but this is not the only reason I guess. It's also because they are just not good enough. Doesn't it sound true? If songs are great, we will buy them.  Young would-be singers are increasing, so to earn money, people in the music industry make them debut as soon as possible with low quality songs. This is why people don't buy their music. But because of a previous failure or low income, they again make low quality songs trying to spend less money. It's a vicious cycle!!

A current fashion among normal people like us is listening idol singer's live performance without the background instrumental music so that we can hear their pure singing. Some are more hilarious than comic sitcoms! Some people doubt the truth of thier shocking singing skills and some people just sigh and say 'Whatever, they are dancers' or some take the idols side and cry 'You anti-fans try to sing and dance at the same time and see if you can do as good as them!!' But the last one doesn't make any sense to me. We are just normal people and they are singers which means that we don't need to be good at singing, but they have to, cause it's their job.

I am unhappy to see where the Korean music industry is going now, and frustrated by the reality that there are not many songs that touch me, inspire me or excite me and most of boring love songs are dominating our ears and eyes.

Here is one more problem I want to point out.
I am a type of person who enjoy a melody of a song and especially enjoy lyrics. But the recent music seems to be made in less than no time. Most of the latest songs are very catchy and easy to learn, but if you only read the lyrics, you will find some that are just nonsense.  If I am allowed to exagggerate a little bit, I will say that I can write better than them.. :'(

The debut age of idol singers is getting younger and younger.  Only sixteen or seventeen years old girls wear gaudy clothes and shake their hips and they are just too busy to sing, so they can't help but lip-sync. Is dancing or showing a flashy performance putting less effort on their singing what singers are supposed to to? I hope to hear your opinions!

A fantastic animation : Ponyo on the cliff

I watched this movie yesterday, and I was very very amazed! I strongly recommend you to watch this beautiful flim.
Ponyo is a young fish-girl who has magical power just like her sea-godness mother. She wants to explore the world outside her father's house deep under the sea. One day she decides to escape but gets stuck in an empty jar and found by a young boy whose name is Sosuke by accidently. She falls in love with this boy, and so desperately wants to become human so she can live with the boy.  But if she wants to be human, she has to give up her magic cause she can't have both humanity and magical power.
Ponyo's father who once a human but decided to become a part of fish(?)-we don't know how he could be able to get married to the sea-godness and become pohyo's father- tries to stop his daughter and wishes her to remain pure and innocent forever. Despite of her father's wish, Ponyo wants to become human and now everything is up to Sosuke. He finds a way to make them both happy.

I love this film.  I was fascinated by its beautifully colored scenes like every tree, house and sea creature.. They are amazingly beautiful!! It is difinitely gorgeous and I can say this is one of the best animations I've ever seen. The plot is creative and enjoyable. I look forward to more animes like this :D

Hwangbo reveals her third album


Hwangbo,singer and entertainer,is 31 year old. she has unveiled her third album titled 'Still Beautiful' at the end of last month.

In the cover photo for the album her semi-nude,causing a stir among the public and netizens. she shows off her breathtakingly curvy back.

She has shed her previous image!

Her title song is a medium-tempo sorrow and pain that showcases Hwangbo's soulful voice. The song deals with a situation in which a woman has no option but to break up with her lover.

Two Korean idol stars, Shin saekyung and Kim jonghyun, are currently dating!!

A Korean young actress named Shin sae kyung (21) and an idol singer Kim Jonghyun (21) from Shinee  became a couple! Since they both are rising hot stars, this news surprised and disappointed their so many fans.
Jonghyun has often named Shin sekyung as his ideal type and also she has named Shinee as her favorite idol group. They both happened to participate in a concert as a singer and a mistress and this chance let them be close to each other. After they found that they both had an interest in one another, they began their relationship about a month ago.
Because of their busy schedules, they usually have street dates at night or dates around their apartments. A paparazzi took photos of them dating and this is how their relationship was revealed. 

Although they are idol stars, they don't hide their relationship and seem that they enjoy their official dating.
However, their immature fans are definitely not welcoming this couple and especially many of Jonghyun's fans left bad comments on her mini homepage, and made her shut down her account after all.
But some of fans wished the two stars to conitue their relationship well even thought they were shocked and jealous of her.

They are stars and fans are fans. They have their own lifes which seem gorgeous, but have also many covered difficulties of life as a star. The two  became stars at a young age and its hardships can't be expressed in words. So this relationship could be a chance for them to rest each other, so we should celebrate them wishing this experience can have good effect on their performance as well. :)
