[news] SHINee's new album racks up advance orders


Korean boy band SHINee is racking up advance orders for their new album "2009, Year Of Us", according to their agency on Friday.

The group's third mini-album reportedly received 60,000 advance orders since its release yesterday, SM Entertainment said in a press release.

“We are very glad and grateful that fans have been so supportive of this album," the idol group was quoted as saying. "We will work hard to promote 'Ring Ding Dong' so we hope fans keep loving us."

All six tracks of "2009", including the title song "Ring Ding Dong", had been released on various online music sites on October 19.

The hard copies of their album was supposed to be released on the same day but had been put off by three days due to "problems to several songs on the album". All copies of the album have been recalled and re-produced.

The five-member group is set to hold an autograph session for fans at Kyobo Books Hottracks and Yongsan Media Shinara record stores on Saturday.

SHINee, one of the most popular idol groups in Korea, has had several K-pop hits, most notably their debut single "Noona, You're So Pretty" and the recent chart topper "Juliette" earlier this year.

[news] SS501’s “Rebirth” is a smash + LYRICS + TEASER


Korean men looks so unbelievably sexy with make-up.
Is it safe to say that the group’s success is all due to Hyun Joong’s success? Maybe, but their new single, “Love Like This” sounds hot. I’m actually enjoying how smooth the voices sound on this track and I’m surprised at how catchy the single is. And I’m definitely not the only one who’s loving the song. The album is selling like hot oodong on a cold winter day and the rest of the guys in the group are kissing Hyun Joong’s feet over and over again. Okay, I kid, I kid, I’m sure the other 4 do something to help out the sales…right?



For those of you who want to sing along, here are the romanticized lyrics for you to jam out too:

A: I had a DVD player that’s from Korea, and because my daughter is a Hallyu fan, we have many Korean DVDs and CDs at home (and watched them once in a while).The Korean artists that I know of are Dong Bang Shin Ki (T/N: in Thai language) and Super Junior.

Leeteuk who is preparing to grow some facial hair

Leeteuk: I’m already 27 years old, I feel that I should eat some nourishing food……
Eunhyuk: Actually, you don’t have much left to being 27.
Leeteuk: Recently, I have been thinking deeply. When we have our meals, it is usually later. The PD asked “Your activities are so busy, how can you handle eating so late? You’re not as young now, you will be able to feel it.” That day, I went home and thought about it, it is really not good, and when I’m older, I will really have a hard time.
Eunhyuk: Yeah, I also have been reflecting recently. My father got married at 28, my mother at 27…… Like this, it feels very unbalanced……
Leeteuk: I’m still alright, anyway I’m not in a hurry.
Eunhyuk: Yeah, anyway, you are so youthful, you grow in reverse to your age. But why didn’t you shave today?
Leeteuk: I thought of growing it. Everyone, how do you think I look with facial hair?
Eunhyuk: It’s not how you look, you gave to see if you are suitable. If you were to grow it, it would look very awful.
Leeteuk: Alright……


The Invincible Instant Noodles

Leeteuk: Among everyone, I am the one that cooks the best instant noodles.
Eunhyuk: Among everyone? Among everyone in the world?
Leeteuk: Among the SJ members…… Or among all the people in the KBS station. Even Donghae has acknowledged it!
Eunhyuk: Since when has Donghae eaten the instant noodles cooked by someone from KBS……
Leeteuk: I want to let everyone try the noodles that I have cooked.
Eunhyuk: Only a few people have eaten it before.
Leeteuk: They will come and eat it today. Today, I was eating, and thinking that if there could be such a taste on earth, it would really be too mystical.
Eunhyuk: How did you cook it?
Leeteuk: I used a paper cup to collect 4 cups of hot water, for every cup I left behind 1cm of water, and later on I added Kimchi soup and Kimchi. After that, I added the vegetable condiments, and after awhile, I added the soup seasoning. When it is almost cooked, take the kimchi out by itself, and after that, scoop the noodles out.
Eunhyuk: I’ll try it before I evaluate it. I also really like eating instant noodles, I am an Instant noodles food expert.

The 3 people who tried to think of a way to save 3000 won

Leeteuk: During the Chuseok period, we are going to Jeju Island for a holiday, ahahaha……
Eunhyuk: Me, Leeteuk, and our member Donghae, the 3 of us.
Leeteuk: On Friday…… Was it Friday?
Eunhyuk: The last day of Bora was Thursday.
Leeteuk: During Thursday’s Bora, many listeners said it was raining in Jeju Island, we were all very depressed.
Eunhyuk: Yeah, that day, we went over early in the morning, bright and early.
Leeteuk: We didn’t sleep.
Eunhyuk: When we reached, it was still drizzling, but later on, the sky cleared, so we still had fun.
Leeteuk: The 3 of us even rented a tour van to go around the island……
Eunhyuk: Yeah, there were many fun and absurd incidents. Because we didn’t plan, and just went there like that, the hotel wasn’t even booked. The van was also not rented.
Leeteuk: If there weren’t any rooms, we thought of spending the night out in the streets.
Eunhyuk: However, this way of totally not having a plan, is still quite fun.
Leeteuk: The most miraculous thing is, we didn’t tell anyone about us going to Jeju Island, and when we got down from the plane, a group of fans were at the airport waiting to welcome us.
Eunhyuk: Yeah, it gave me a shock. I experienced this went I went to Paris, so this time, I didn’t tell anyone.
Leeteuk: The few of us went to rent the van, it was the first time there so we didn’t know anything, and we were in a place we were not familiar with. The person in charge recognized us, and said lately he liked to watch our programs, and was very happy to see us. We even asked him to give us a discount of 3000 won, he said he was new, and could not make the decision. We said that if he could give us a discount, and when we returned the van, if the boss was unhappy, we would then return him the 3000 won. But that man still didn’t agree, and when writing the bill, he asked us not to come here again in future…
Eunhyuk: Yeah, we mentioned many methods, but he was still unhappy. He said in future, we should go to other better places and make a reservation, which is why we need a plan for a holiday.

Leeteuk who breaks the heart of girls

Leeteuk: In the past, when I had a girlfriend, and both of us were together, if I saw my parents coming towards us, I would tell my girlfriend “Go to the back, and hide”. She wanted to greet my parents, but I insisted on her hiding.
Eunhyuk: Why are you so evil.
Leeteuk: During father’s day or mother’s day, she would buy my parents presents. I would say “Who do you regard yourself as, why are you buying these, I didn’t buy anything, what are you buying these for.
Eunhyuk: She must have been very hurt, and felt that your relationship is very shallow.
Leeteuk: In the end, I still gave the present to my mother, saying “Omma, you know her right? This is from her.”
Eunhyuk: You’re too evil.
Leeteuk: In the past, I was like this, but now I’m no longer like this. I’ve given up evil, and returned to being good.

Who is a model husband?

Leeteuk: I have a question to ask you, if you were married, and during Chuseok, everyone gathers together, and the women are preparing the food, would you allow your wife to take part in such tiring tasks, or would you allow her not to go?
Eunhyuk: Of course I’d ask her to do it, that is something the women have to do. The elders are around, not doing it isn’t right. Even if I don’t say it, she should know it. It’s only once a year, even if its tiring, how tiring can it get? At home, I’ll help her prepare the food or do anything else to make up for it. This is how I am a model husband.
Leeteuk: I am different from you, I would not let her do it.
Eunhyuk: The elders won’t be pleased.
Leeteuk: I would also not let the elders do it.
Eunhyuk: Then when it’s your turn to host, you can order takeout.
Leeteuk: Yeah, it’s been settled.
Eunhyuk: Just cook instant noodles.
Leeteuk: I’ll cook instant noodles for everyone, hahaha.

Boring Jeju Island Vacation?

Eunhyuk: Last night, on Jeju Island, me and Donghae played cards for 3 hours straight……
Leeteuk: You went on a vacation, why did you play cards.
Eunhyuk: We kept using the least amount, in the beginning, I lost almost 20000 won, but in the end, I won it back.
Leeteuk: I even left earlier than both of you…… Going on a vacation, we should have fun more meaningfully.
Eunhyuk: It’s very meaningful……
Leeteuk: After we came back, everyone asked what fun things we did, I could only answer that we didn’t have any fun, we just went from one scenic spot to another, before going back.
Eunhyuk: There are fun things, we went to Halla Mountain, but when we got there it was already too late, and we couldn’t go up, so we went back. I felt it was too regretful, so I thought of going to Mara Island to eat Jajangmyun, but the boats had already stopped operating. I wanted to hear if around the area, there were any express boats going to Mara Island, but because it was Chuseok, everyone was resting, so in the end I didn’t get to do.
Leeteuk: What did you go there for?
Eunhyuk: To play cards……

The 3 people who conquered the entire Jeju Island

Leeteuk: I suddenly thought of an interesting incident from when we were in Jeju Island. We had nothing to do there, so we thought of doing something for us to remember. Hence, we went to the busy city centre. Near the scenic spot, there were many high class hotels, and while we were strolling, we even saw many people riding horses. We thought we had finally come to the right place.
Eunhyuk: The hotels were standing there block by block, we couldn’t miss such a good chance, so we got off the van……
Leeteuk: When we got down, there was nobody in the surrounding area. We walked in through the back door of a hotel, and to leave a memory, we went to the toilet……
Eunhyuk: We went into the toilet on the first floor, and happily did our personal business*…… The feeling was as though the hotel had become mine. Isn’t there a saying, that when you go somewhere for a vacation, you have to do your own personal business* there, especially your Number One**. We just did it accordingly.
Leeteuk: This way, in the person’s mind, they have conquered that place.
Eunhyuk: Yeah, I deeply feel the same way.
Leeteuk: Yeah, now that place is ours. If you put it like this, in the whole Asia, there are already many places that are mine.
Eunhyuk: Yeah, big Hallyu star.
Leeteuk: This is something people should do before they turn 30.

Okay this is pretty awkward but I’m trying to explain it in the best way possible…
* Personal Business: In this context, it refers to whatever you do inside a toilet cubicle…
** Number One: Defecating (or in more crude terms, shitting)

The world’s most absurd vacation

Leeteuk: When we went to Jeju Island, I left earlier than both of them, at that time I had a booked plane ticket for a 2.30am flight. The day before l left, at 12.30, we agreed that in the morning, we would want to see the sunrise, and we would sleep early, and wake up early. Before going to sleep, we turned on the television, and there was a live telecast of a soccer match between Korea and America. It was the youth team, and we wanted to see the standard of the 20 year old youths. If they weren’t good, we would go to sleep, but in the end they were too strong, they played really well.
Eunhyuk: Yeah, they played really well.
Leeteuk: In the end, on the second day, when we opened our eyes in the morning, it was already 12.30 in the afternoon.
Eunhyuk: We set our alarm clock, but nobody heard it.
Leeteuk: I still slept the earliest.
Eunhyuk: Just like this, we missed the sunrise. Donghae and I were leaving in 2 days, and we agreed that we definitely could not miss this chance, so we would not sleep at all, and wait until the morning. So both of us played cards for 3 hours, Donghae said he was sleepy, and went to sleep by himself, so I watched a DVD. When I had finished watching, there was still 30 minutes before the time we had to leave, I thought of what to do, and ended up falling asleep. I woke up 10 minutes before the sunrise, and woke Donghae up, and discussed with him saying that the sun would be in the process of rising on our way there. In the end, it still ended with failure.
Leeteuk: That day, I had a 2.20am flight, when I reached the airport it was already 2.10am, I couldn’t get on the plane, I had to stroll around the airport for an hour.
Eunhyuk: Waiting for an hour to get on the next flight, you have really tried to do all the absurd things.
Leeteuk: Our Jeju Island vacation, compared to your France vacation, was much more fun.
Eunhyuk: We went together, that is why it is so fun.
Leeteuk: It was only 2 days and 1 night but we had so much fun, you walked around France without knowing what you were doing.
Eunhyuk: This time, after coming back, I realised that what is important about a vacation is not the places where you go to, but it’s the people you journey with, and the common memories you create.
Leeteuk: Next time, I’ll go to France by myself, and have more fun than you.

[news] SJ in singapore newspaper (edit: w/trans)


South Korean idol group Super Junior’s “Sorry dance” becomes a hit across Asia
Taiwanese idols all want to imitate this

South Korean idols Super Junior brought about the “Sorry dance”, the ‘hand-wringing, leg-patting, and encircling hands “Trilogy”#’ becomes a hit, and even Jacky Wu, Patty Hou and Jolin Tsai* are dancing to this too!

After popular South Korean group Wonder Girls led their new song “Nobody” to fame across Asia, idol group Super Junior (SJ) released their new album “Sorry, Sorry” in March this year. The title song shot to fame from South Korea to Taiwan, Hong Kong and China, and was even crowned first on South Korean music charts (t/n: the 8 weeks consecutive should be from Sorry, Sorry AND It’s You) for 8 consecutive weeks. Apart from 13 good-looking boys being a reason for their success, being a dance song with a heavy electronic beat matched with hot dance moves is another reason why this song is popular, making the “Sorry dance” almost a national dance, shooting to fame rapidly!


Also, SJ was invited to Taiwan in June to perform in the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, and while there were criticisms regarding their lipsyncing performance at the awards ceremony, the popularity of “Sorry, Sorry” was not affected at all, and instead, continued shooting upwards, with many Taiwanese artistes wanting to imitate the classic “trilogy” moves “hand-wringing, leg-patting, and encircling hands”# on shows with 100% entertainment value, fully displaying its popularity!

Super Junior has debuted for 4 years and are sitting steadily at No. 1 in the Korean music industry
The popular idol group SJ made their debut 4 years ago, with their activities ranging from starring in movies, to being MCs, to releasing music albums, sitting steadily at the top of the Korean music industry.

SJ’s management SM Entertainment has held auditions in many places before, with competition during preliminary rounds being very fierce. Many have since left (the company) because the wait for debut was too long, and even if they do manage to make their debut, if they do not shoot to fame, they may also be cast aside, but if they are able to become one of SM’s popular idol groups, they will display multi talents like singing, dancing, being an MC, acting, being a DJ etc.

Making their debut at the end of 2005, SJ members have an average height of 1.8m, and aside from being able to sing, the members Leeteuk, Heechul, Han Geng, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum and Kyuhyun are all also able to take up the posts of MCs, DJs, runway models, actors etc.

While the large size of 13 is rare amongst idol groups, they are popular across Asia, and SM has even used the special concept of dividing the members into smaller sub-groups to release albums; such as Super Junior – K.R.Y. with their sweet voices as their main concept; or Super Junior – M, which is led by Chinese national Han Geng and targets the Chinese market.

SJ also has rather active solo performances; Leeteuk, Kangin, Eunhyuk and Shindong are active in variety shows and radio broadcasts; Siwon participated in the Hong Kong historical film “A Battle of Wits”; Heechul and Kibum with outstanding drama performances such as in “Snow Flower”, “Bad Family”, “Golden Bride” and many other popular dramas.

“Sorry MV” has hits over a billion
The reporter went online and found out that on YouTube alone, there are as many as 20 versions of SJ’s “Sorry, Sorry” MV##, with global hits totalling over a billion.

Besides that, Taiwanese gag stars Na Dou, Chen Han Dian and Ah Ken, among others, formed the group “Super Juni儿” (pronounced: Super Juni-er) on Taiwanese variety show “Quan Min Zui Da Dang”*, and performed a poor quality parody** of “Sorry, Sorry” and in the performance threw in nonsensical Korean, to the laughter of the audience; other related parodies have also attracted over 500,000 hits, and is successively being imitated or made into poor quality “Kuso”** parodies, with names that play with the title such as “Shou Li Shou Li” or “Xiu Li Xiu Li”***!

notes:
# ‘Hand-wringing, leg-patting, and encircling hands “Trilogy” ’ – the 3 main dance moves in the chorus of Sorry, Sorry
## “20 versions of SJ’s “Sorry, Sorry” MV” – I think the reporter means that there are about 20 user-created covers and parodies of the song, I’m not sure if fan-made vids are also included

* Jacky Wu (吴宗宪/吳宗憲) – famous Taiwanese talk show host; Patty Hou (侯佩岑) – former Taiwanese news anchor, now TV host; Jolin Tsai (蔡依林) – famous Taiwanese Mandopop singer; Quan Min Zui Da Dang (全民最大黨) – a Taiwanese variety show famous for ridiculing the Taiwanese political scene, occasionally does parodies of popular songs.
** Kuso– “Reckless doing” is the literal meaning of the Chinese word恶搞/惡搞 (which was used twice in the article) and is often used as a synonym or description of the meaning of the original Japanese word “Kuso”. “Kuso” literally means “shit” and can be used to describe outrageous matters or things of poor quality.
*** “Shou Li” (收礼) – literally “receiving presents”; “Xiu Li”(修理) – literally “fixing (things)”. Both words sound like Sorry.

[news] T-ara's New Apple Song Released


T-ara's new CF song for Nonghyup/Harrison apples has just been revealed to the public earlier today. Check it out below!

Although it's not confirmed if it's a leak or not since it was supposed to be out later in the day, T-ara's, also known as Tiara, song for their first out of three CFs this month has been revealed! The girls will be making a lot of money off these CFs, with this one pulling in 300,000 USD alone, the highest offer ever for a rookie group/singer!

"Apple Song" goes back to T-ara's "Lies" roots, with it being a bit cute-sy and mid-tempo. Although being cute might mean that there would be no rapping, but that's definitely not the case here! Something the song is definitely not lacking is a fierce rap portrayed by the voices of T-ara's rappers, Eunjung and Hyomin. Sadly though, the song does show a bit of similarity to Brown Eyed Girls' previous single, My Style.



cr: Vagabond190

Meanwhile, the girls were busy performing at the "Apple Day Event," which was basically a showcase for the song and the video. All 6 members performed together their debut single, "Lies" and the "Apple Song."

[news] High Skool shows their love for DJ Tukutz


I know some of you are bummed that Epik High won’t reunite for two years time, so here’s a little consolation for ya’ll. It’s been a week since DJ Tukutz has left for his mandatory military service and Epik High fans, ‘High Skool’, took it upon themselves to create a a good-bye video. Fan videos are usually a little too cheesy for my taste, but this is so darn bittersweet and it makes me want those two years to fly by even faster! So watch it and reminisce as it takes you back to the good ol’ days. The video has been posted on Epik High’s youtube channel, mapthesoul.

[news] Insooni to Sing at Carnegie Hall


Top K-pop singer Insooni will hold a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York next year.

The concert will take place on Feb. 5. An official from the singer's agency was quoted as saying, "A contract was made through negotiations after a proposal for the performance from New York."

Insooni, 52, performed at Carnegie Hall in 1999. Cho Yong-pil was the first Korean singer to take the stage at Carnegie Hall, one of the most famous venues for classical and popular music, in 1980.

The New York performance is significantly meaningful for Insooni because her requests to perform at the Opera Theater of Seoul Arts Center have been rejected twice. The reason given for the denial was Seoul Arts Center was not suitable for pop music.

Insooni made her debut in 1978 as a member of the girl group the Hee Sisters. Since then, she has recorded nearly 20 albums and is called South Korea's R&B diva.

She was born to a Korean mother and an African -American father, who served in the U.S. military in South Korea. She was brought up by her mother alone.

[news] FT Islands unit group "FT.Triple" begins activities, seunghyun co-hosts a new variety show



3 members of FT Island will begin activities for their unit group.

In FT.triple, Lee Jaejin, who has been in charge of bass and vocal all along, will now be in charge of guitar and vocal. Choi Jonghoon also has new challenges in playing the piano instead of the guitar. Choi Minhwan will be playing the drums, something which cannot be left out from a band. The unit group will portray a different image of FT Island.

There will be 3 songs in the album “Two Date” by FT.triple. Lee Jaejin had received recognition from his musical “Sonagi” earlier and he will also be the solo vocal for this album.

Their title song “Love Letter”, by hit composers, Kim Dohoon and Kim Kibum, is a song that expresses the worries and concern for an ex-lover, written in the form of a letter. With the beats from the melody, together with the realistical lyrics, it will be a touching song. Lee Jaejin will also be showcasing his talent in singing and rapping.

“멀리멀리” has a light rhythm and repetitive lyrics like “빨리빨리빨리” (bballi bballi bballi), “멀리멀리멀리” (meolli meolli meolli). It is a very addictive song. “꼬집어 봐도” has a smooth melody and it also brings out the soothing vocals of Lee Jaejin.

FT.triple’s album will be released on 26th October. Their music video was taken in Cebu, Philippines when the storm took place previously. Plans for aero filming were aborted due to the bad weather. Their 4 days 3 nights filming schedule was shortened due to the storm, and they had to rush the filming within 2 days. Communication means were also suspended for some time.

FT.triple is practising hard to present a new image for their coming activities lined up coming end October. Their first stage will be on 29th October on MNet’s MCountdown.

Also, Song Seunghyun will be appearing in S E! Entertainment TV's newest variety show, "Idol Magnae Rebellion" with Mighty Mouth's Syori J, T-Max's Yoonhwa, 2AM's Jinwoon, and UKiss' Dongho. First episode airs on Saturday, 7 November.
