']]}[News] Brown Eyed Girls show Signs of success!
The absolutely stunning Brown Eyed Girls have brought their magic again with the release of their new track Sign, from their repackaged 3rd album Sound G.
You all saw the MV teaser last night, which was eerily creepy yet so alluring - just in time for Halloween. It seemed like a scene out of Saw and I just can't wait to see the full MV.
But what you didn't know was, these girls stayed in the water tanks for 3 full hours, just to film this scene.. talk about dedication! On a side note, aren't the photos just stunning?
BEG's label Nega Network stated:
"The girls had to hold their breath and go underwater to film these scenes, and although it was dangerous, the girls wanted to make sure Sign's music video would be perfect, so they insisted on doing it themselves."
The Sign music video will be released on October 29th. I can't wait to see this and share it with the rest of you, so stay tuned!

']]}[News] Complete English Translation of Wonder Girls' Korean Press Conference
Wonder Girls set to take on bigger challenges
#76
Nobody - Wonder Girls
If you go onto Billboard's website right now, you will be able to see Wonder Girls' "Nobody" ranked at No. 76 on the Hot 100 chart which lists the top 100 singles in the United States, regardless of genre. It is one of Billboard's two most important and influential charts, alongside the Billboard 200 chart, which are also the most difficult to enter.
Last week, the Korean pop quintet became the first Asian artist in 30 years and the first Korean artist ever to place on the chart. It paid off performing in 42 cities over two months as the opening act for the U.S. leg of the Jonas Brothers' world tour, making efforts to bond with fans for hours before and after each performances and cram studying half a dozen hours of English everyday.
But the Wonder Girls have just started to work their magic and are aimed at setting higher records in the U.S. and Europe, their producer Park Jin-young, also founder and CEO of their agency JYP Entertainment, said during a press conference on Friday.
The Wonder Girls and Park appeared in front of Korean fans for the first time in seven months to speak about their journey and future plans.
Q: How does it feel to be back in Korea?
Wonder Girls: It feels good to be saying hello to you. And it moves my heart to be doing an interview like this.
Park Jin-young: It's good to see you all. I heard some people say to me that we are here to show off about making it onto the Billboard chart (laugh) but it was all coincidence. I'm very proud of the Wonder Girls and thank them. These young girls had a very tough time during the past seven months and they might not be the best singers or dancers in the world but I think they are the most hard-working artists.
Q: What is the true meaning of making it onto the Hot 100 chart?
Park: The Hot 100 is the chart we usually refer to when talking about the Billboard. The Billboard 200 survey is based on album sales so you can get on it if you have a strong fan base which will help you sell more albums. But 55 percent of the Hot 100 is based on airplay which reflects your popularity with the general public. That's why Asian artists have made it onto the Billboard 200 eight times since 1980 but never onto the Top 100 chart during the past 30 years. They studied English six hours a week and also met with their audience two hours before and after their shows.
Q: How were they able to get on the Top 100 chart?
Park: In the U.S., promoting is all about working yourself up from the very bottom. You won't get anywhere trying to make yourself known by appearing on TV first. You have to come in contact with fans on a personal level. That's why we set our goal as making one or two hundred fans in every city we performed in while on tour with the Jonas Brothers. In such a way, it usually takes about a year for a newly-debuted artist to make it onto the Billboard chart, but we did it in just four months. And it was only possible because we did eight months worth of work in four months. For example, it usually took about 10 hours to travel to each city but as soon as we get there, we would go straight to the concert venue rather than our rooms. There, the girls would meet with fans who were waiting to meet with the Jonas Brothers and say hello to them. They also met with fans after the concerts and took photographs with them. That's how we tried to gain more fans in the shortest time possible. We also used the Internet by using websites such as Twitter and those fans started requesting for our song to be played on the radio. The step after that is to appear on TV.
Q: You must have had a hard time in the U.S. What things do you remember?
Park: We were on a bus instead of a plane during the tour. Since the bus always shook went we slept, it was my wish to be able to sleep on a bed that doesn't shake. The girls performed about five times a week so about twice a week, it felt great sleeping on a bed that doesn't shake.
Mimi: When I first when to the U.S., every single night... (cries for a moment) I cried every night. It may be because I am young but I was so lonely. And of course, I wasn't alone -- I had my members, producer Park and the staff -- but it took a while to adapt. It was hard having to meet strangers when my English wasn't so good.
Yenny: Nobody knew us when we first went on tour with the Jonas Brothers. So we used to shout out to them, asking for them to sing and dance with us. Then, when we performed at Jonas Brothers' concert a month after the tour, people were happy to see us and sang along to our song. I was so happy. And it definitely was hard having to speak in English. It isn't perfect yet but I will try my best to learn it in the shortest time possible so it doesn't affect our career in the U.S.
Q: Who was the most popular member in the U.S.?
Sun: I think it's because of her skin color which made her look sexy (laugh) but Yubin seemed to be the most popular.
Yubin: But they don't actually recognize us that well. I sometimes get called Sun instead. (laugh) I think they like us as a group right now rather than liking a certain member in particular.
Q: What is the difference between American and Korean fans?
Yenny: Korean fans are shy but we can tell that they like us more. When shaking hands, they'll sometimes barely touch our hands and then just run away. But American fans don't know us that well yet. (laugh) They're more friendly -- treating us like friends they've met in the neighborhood -- and tell us that we sing well or ask us where we bought our clothes.
Q: Sohee and Mimi seem to have grown taller.
Mimi: I'm not too sure. People have been saying that but I think it's because I'm wearing high heels. (laugh)
Sohee: I'm not at the age anymore... Or have I grown? (laugh) A lot of people have been saying I've grown. (laugh)
Q: What did you want to do when you come to Korea?
Yenny: Eat crab preserved in soy sauce. And I ate it this morning. (laugh) I arrived in Korea early yesterday morning and my mom had gone to church so I hid in our veranda to surprise her. But she already knew I was coming so she had prepared a party for me. I was so happy and we cried a lot.
Sun: I missed eating my grandmother's food.
Mimi: I wanted to come to Kore and eat at a kimchi jji-gae (kimchi stew) restaurant. (laugh)
Yubin: My parents live in the U.S. but my mom also came to Korea. I was so happy because it was a surprise.
Sohee: The first thing I did was cook my dad bean paste soup. (laugh)
Yenny: When we were in Korea before, we sometimes sang "Nobody" up to ten times a day. But in the U.S., we could only sing it once a day on stage. That one performance would sway the rest of our day. So we came to realize how important the stage was for us. We never received so many camera flashes in the U.S. but I felt that we really are back in Korea at the start (of the press conference) with all the flashes. I really missed Korea a lot.
Q: Do you have any plans regarding their activities in Korea?
Park: We're not in a situation where we can work in Korea right now. Partners in the U.S. have started believing in the future of the Wonder Girls. I think the U.S. and Europe are where we should be headed. Many people doubt that it'll happen but I want to prove them wrong. And even if we fail, I want to do so after having done our best. I think we've been doing okay so far. (laugh) The Wonder Girls will probably come to Korea when while on worldwide promotion. Of course, they'll stay in Korea longer than elsewhere. The Wonder Girls were only able to get where they are today because of their Korean fans.
Q: How far do you think they'll go on the Top 100 chart?
Park: I think their ranking will fall next week because although their airplay ranking will increase, their album sales will fall. Their album sales played a huge part in helping their ranking last week but their albums won't sell as well this week so it'll probably fall.
Q: What is the reason their album sales increased? They also topped the 'Top singles sales' chart.
Park: American elementary school students these days don't discriminate. So the Wonder Girls persistently targeted their promotion at those students. One of the strategies we thought up for that was selling their single albums at stores of teenage clothing brand 'Justice'. I thought all we needed was to get our albums into 'Justice' since there are about a thousand of their stores in the U.S. So I went and talked to them, and when I showed a video of the Wonder Girls to the CEO, he said he wanted to see them for himself. He went to see their performance and, the girls always seems they do their best when it really matters. (laugh) They performed so well that the CEO liked them and their CDs were placed in their stores. They are sold at a dollar -- the same price as it is sold on iTunes.
Q: What do you think is the reason that Wonder Girls are making it in the U.S.?
Park: The U.S. music industry is making less profits simply from its music. So now they're investing not in the music but in the people. It's called a 3'60 degree contract' which means the singer will share all the profits he or she makes during the period of contract. That's how important an individual's appeal is and the U.S. music industry liked the Wonder Girls a lot for who they are.
Q: Were there any difficulties you faced because you are Asians?
Yenny: A lot of people helped us and took care of us while we were on tour. I was sad at times because some people thought we wouldn't be able to speak English at all because we were from Korea.
Park: They would have never made it if they had come here five years ago. But I think there's been a large change in perception during the past five years. President Obama's election has also played a big role in easing the wall between different races.
Q: What will your concept be for your U.S. album?
Park: Retro. It's been in Korea for a while but "Nobody" was the first time such an attempt was made in the U.S. and nobody does it yet. Our next concept will be similar too.
Q: Girl groups are the trend these days in Korea. What are your thoughts on this?
Mimi: They're all very interesting and really good. I sometimes wish I could be on the same stage as them too.
Park: Personally, 2NE1 has the most similar music taste to mine.
Q: Tell us about the rest of your schedule while you're in Korea. And a word to your fans here?
Yenny: We arrived in Korea early yesterday morning. We will perform in China next week, wrap up our schedule here and go back to the U.S. in early November.
Yubin: I am so happy to get to meet my fans in Korea. I will try to keep the good news coming from the U.S. Thank you so much.
Sun: Everyday was a brand new day for us because we were pretty much starting all over in the U.S. I think our fans' support is what kept us going and helped us get where he are right now. Thank you very much.

']]}[News] Popular Idol Group, Super Junior-M, Guests on MTV
The other day, the popular idol group Super Junior M were guests on MTV
These seven handsome men are all close to each other. They thoroughly understand the particulars of each other's daily lives. When all is said and done, who likes to act cool the most? VJ Andy had hardly gotten the words out before the members simultaneously pointed to Siwon. Being attacked from all sides, Siwon very innocently shook his head. VJ Andy immediately requested for Siwon to put on a cool pose, however, Siwon made a cute expression instead - one that said he was being bullied by everyone else. The leader, Hangeng, could no longer take it and promptly got up to "point out his mistakes." While speaking, he demonstrated the classical motions of Siwon's normal walk. Hangeng even supplemented it with, "His chest raises even more when he sees a pretty girl." Everyone clapped and cheered. Siwon was between laughter and tears and could only ferociously say one thing, "That's too much."
When VJ Andy asked about who takes care of himself the best, everyone again, without consultation, pointed towards Donghae. Andy racketed his head, "I thought it was Zhou Mi. Don't you guys say that he is the one who purchases the most cosmetics?" Henry said that Zhou Mi simply likes to buy, but not use, while Donghai uses cosmetics the most. The gentle Donghae would not let that pass either: If you can't find me one day, everyone please come to the skin department in the hospital to find me.
When SJ-M's seven members face a beauty, who's conversational skills is the best? VJ Andy called out Zhu Zhu for everyone to act out a scene to see who, when running into a beauty on the streets, had the best method to obtain the girl's number. As soon as Henry went on stage, he called out "Christina," using the erroneous name trick. He was promptly ridiculed by Zhu Zhu as being too old fashioned. The man loved by millions of people, Hangeng, set out and promptly laughed softly, sufficient enough for Zhu Zhu to forget the scenario and actually "take the initiative" and ask him for his number. This resulted in her being scolded by VJ Andy for "failing to live up to expectations."
These grownup boys of SJ-M are youthful and moving, filled with witty humor. Starting on October 28th, MTV

']]}[News] Korean hottie Lee Min Ho says all the right things and charms his mostly female fans
HE KEPT 800 girls waiting for hours at Plaza Singapura on Saturday afternoon due to his no-show, when his scheduled appearance was cancelled due to safety concerns.
But when Korea's hunk-of-the-moment met his fans later that evening at a closed-door event, all was forgiven.
In fact, Lee Min Ho more than redeemed himself.
The 22-year-old actor was by turns cheeky and charming, and every other comment elicited screams from the 180-strong mostly female crowd at Movida at St James Power Station. The party is organised by Korean cosmetics brand Etude House, for which he is the brand ambassador.
Take his view of Singapore girls: 'The girls in Singapore are cute and sweet.'
Cue deafening screams.
Although he spoke only Korean and needed a translator, Min Ho knew all the right buttons to press.
When asked how he sees himself in five years time, he said he hoped to have a toner, buffer body.
Cue wistful sighs.
One girl said that his lanky, 1.85m-tall frame would then be 'more perfect than perfect'.
Asked which superpower he would like to have, Min Ho chose the ability to understand other people's thoughts and feelings.
He said he loved Singapore because 'it is very clean' and he wanted to explore it further.
A simple answer about his favourite Singapore dish also drew the crowd's approval.
'I haven't tried any but I do want to eat chilli crab tonight,' he said to appreciative laughter.
But don't mistake him for just another silver-tongued celebrity.
Min Ho's showbiz career had been sputtering along for two years before he found fame as F4 leader Goo Jun Pyo in the Korean adaptation of the manga-inspired series Boys Over Flowers early this year.
While the chance to travel widely is a perk of his new-found fame, he admitted that with it came the lack of freedom to roam as he pleased.
Min Ho was forthcoming about his insecurities, which made the popular actor, as one teenage girl put it excitedly to her friend, 'just like you and me'.
Fear of developing a bulging tummy has spurred him to exercise more lately.
He also claimed that his skin used to be less-than-flawless because of 'all the foundation and make-up' that he put on for the cameras.
Now, he takes good care of his skin.
'Oh, and you have to use Etude House products,' came his embarrased interjection a minute later.
Enchanting
Guileless? Well, he enchanted the crowd.
A young woman was heard whispering 'so cute' to her companion when he surprised the crowd by showing that he understood some Mandarin.
As Min Ho was picking a ticket from a bowl for a fan to meet him onstage, a shout rang out in Mandarin: 'Look to the front when you're doing that!'
He heeded the command immediately and looked up with an impish grin, before laughing with his delighted fans.
But on an evening when he scored all the points, one remark baffled his adoring audience.
Asked how Singaporean girls were different from Korean girls, he said: 'One obvious difference is the language. Apart from that, girls in Korea have a lighter skin tone. Singaporean women tend to have an olive, tanned complexion.'
Perhaps something was lost in translation. A fair-skinned fan mumbled: 'It's not like we're from Brazil'.
Oops. Maybe the hunky star should have taken this chance to plug Etude House's products again.
Uneasy with the media
IF HE wasn't touching his hair, he was biting his lower lip each time a reporter posed him a question.
At the Etude House press conference at Raffles Hotel on Saturday afternoon, he wasn't quite the charming, relaxed Lee Min Ho that swept female fans off their feet at Movida later that day.
Instead, he came across as a shy, reluctant celebrity.
Asked to list his bad traits, he paused a while before answering.
'It's very hard for me to pick one. Not being able to answer this question is probably my bad point?'
Min Ho admitted that he doesn't go out often nowadays because he's under constant public scrutiny.
But he's thankful that his friends don't treat him differently now that he's famous.
The Boys Over Flowers star appeared stumped when asked to pick a flower that best represented him.
'Red roses,' he finally replied, 'because they symbolise my youth and passion.'
He revealed that the most romantic thing he has done for a woman was to light up a church aisle with 200 candles.
Did he manage to win her over?
'Actually she was my girlfriend then and we were celebrating our 100-day anniversary,' he replied with an awkward laugh.

']]}[News] Sukira Transcripts 2009.10.09 - 2009.09.22.
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, mini cooperting)
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.
091017 Want to get married with Kimchi and fried rice, Hyukjae
Leeteuk: Eunhyuk do you like girls who know how to cook?
Eunhyuk: Of course, I wish I could marry a girl who knows how to cook good food.
A person should at least eat 2 meals a day, so definitely is a much, especially kimchi. *Kimchi Bokkeumbap is an easy dish to make but if it ingredients is added wrongly then it will be different taste and is also a special dish. What I say is true…..
Leeteuk: Do you know how to make it?
Eunhyuk: Of course I know, I love *Kimchi Bokkeumbap and that is why I also love girls who know how to make it.
Leeteuk: I always hope that one of these days when I wake up, my wife would say to me “ Honey, let’s eat”, I just love seeing her cook.
Eunhyuk: Morning, by that time I would just eat some toast will do and place the toast on the dinning table beautifully~ hahaha.
Leeteuk: And ladies whom wear guy long big Tee-shirt, with sandals, hahaha!!
Eunhyuk: yes yes, that are guys happiness.
Leeteuk: Helping me to make my tie, “I’m going out for recording~”
Eunhyuk: Why do (we) have to wear that in the morning?
Leeteuk: Comfortable.
* Kimchi Bokkeumbap = Kimchi fried rice
091019 10 years later
Eunhyuk: Leeteuk, how will you look like 10 years later?
Leeteuk: I’ll be 37 years old in 10 years time, should be married and have 1 child, maybe there another in the stomach. Might still be doing shows, from an idol group to a excellent MC. Going around Asia, interacting with fans, and having holidays too.
Eunhyuk: I’ll be 34 years old in 10 years time, I wish to be a entertainment company boss….although it still consider young at that age.
Leeteuk: I would like to try it too.
Eunhyuk: My Company will only have girls group, girls only.
Leeteuk: I will have mix combination and I want them to call me teacher, “Teacher Leeteuk~~”
Eunhyuk: This are my dream too.
Leeteuk: (using lee sooman accent) I will reply them “Hmmmm….Good, You guys just need to work harder for better results”
091020 Eunhyuk’s brand Kimchi Bokkeumbap
Eunhyuk: Today I was left alone in the dorm as everyone went out for their work, so I decided to make Kimchi Bokkeumbap.
Leeteuk: You are alone and yet you are still making that?
Eunhyuk: Sometime~
Leeteuk: I’ll never eat if I’m alone.*
Eunhyuk: Actually I don’t feel like eating too but I don’t have a choice as I have a exercise show tomorrow, that’s why I make it.
Leeteuk: How’s the taste?
Eunhyuk: Splendid~ I’m only used to eat the way I cooked it, I’m not used eating others.
Leeteuk: You only added kimchi and rice?
Eunhyuk: Add Kimchi, rice, ham and sesame oil. First, heat up the pan and add sesame oil, after that add kimchi and ham and fried it, last add in the rice and fried it together. I would add some kimchi soup if there isn’t any taste.
Leeteuk: It is really very good?
Eunhyuk: Delicious, very delicious~
Leeteuk: I shall try it next time round. But how could you eat alone when you know I was alone at upstairs?
Eunhyuk: How would I know, I really don’t know and I thought you wouldn’t come down for dinner if you are alone at the dorm? I thought you are not at home since you didn’t come down.
Leeteuk: Okay.
* I think he mean he will not cook if he alone.
091021 Eunhyuk who doesn’t know love
Eunhyuk: Leeteuk, which style does you like a girl to wear?
Leeteuk: Doesn’t matter what she wears as long as I like her.
Eunhyuk: Ah~ I do not particularly like some dressing but I do hate some dressing. **Like those who wear shorts and a belt ties on the shirt, just like a dress…I hate those kind.
Leeteuk: What if the girl who you like wears it, will you hate her too?
Eunhyuk: I will tell her that I hate this style and want her not to wear it in the future.
Leeteuk: You don’t know love at all.
Eunhyuk: Love is love but just don’t wear that kind of shirt.
Leeteuk: No matter how my girlfriend dress I will still think is very pretty.
Eunhyuk: I don’t even like her to wear exposed clothing too.
Leeteuk: Of course, no one will like that. But as I grow, I will always consider what kinds of clothes are more suitable for my age.
Eunhyuk: I don’t feel like we must wear clothes which is match our age but we should wear clothes which shown our age.
Leeteuk: It’s been ages since I shopping, look around online and found out that this year trend are pants which are similar to Super Junior- Happpy time, but I won’t even wear it again.
Eunhyuk: It seems like you are really old, I would still wear it, I like that kind of style.
Leeteuk: Looks like I need to change too.
** I’m not very sure of the style.
091022 Driving recklessly, Lee Dong Hae
Eunhyuk: Last time we went Jeju Island for holiday right, during that time Donghae was the one who is driving, the way he drive is really very weird. First, he don’t even keep to the driving lane.
Leeteuk: If there are two lanes, he will definitely need to follow one.
Eunhyuk: He just drives in the middle of both lanes, so I asked him “Why do you drive this way?” He says is easier for him to overtake another car, which is more fast.
Leeteuk: Driving recklessly!
Eunhyuk: I told him that the way you drive scared the driver behind you and is very dangerous, he say he only drives like this when there’s no car behind him. And leeteuk, you went there on the second day and I was driving it for the 3rd day, during the night Donghae say to me, “Hey, you’ve been driving for the whole day, let me drive it instead” I am so worry at that time but I just want to believe him one more time, so I let him drove. At that time, the road were very dark and there are even road repairing going on, Donghae was the one who is driving and I realized that there is a road repairing going on when we were half way through it.
“Hey, wait! How are we going to continue? By right we should drive on the right lane but suddenly he just changes to left lane and there’s a car in the opposite direction too. It shocked me that I quickly switch on the emergency reverse button to let the car pass through us. He’s really driving it his own way.
Leeteuk: It’s really very scary, but the person who seat beside him is much more terrified then him.
Eunhyuk: But the way he drives is really very ridicules. There’s once where we return to the hotel and Donghae parked the car at a small places which is at the hotel entrance. After entering our rooms, we got a call from the management, saying our car had blocked the walk way, must move it away quickly. So I get Donghae down to do it but the worst is “Eunhyuk ah, we are in trouble”
Donghae actually parked the car on a slope, the car just went down by itself and crush, which is the reason that block the walk way.
Leeteuk: Lucky.
Eunhyuk: Lucky that nothing serious happen, sacred me to death.
Leeteuk: I think DongHae can’t drive anymore.
Eunhyuk: Yes, Everyone please drive carefully, don’t be like him.

']]}[News]'Chic Idol MBLAQ: An interview carried out with their nicknames'
'Chiq Idol MBLAQ: An interview carried out with their nicknames'
New 5-member boy band MBLAQ. They are not normal from their looks. With their dark, smoky make-up, black clothes, sexy concept involving the show of abs, they also have the charismatic, powerful dancing skills.
So the fans call MBLAQ 'Chic Idols'. From 'Beastly Idols' and 'Vegetarian', this new nickname is also humorous.
Even though it's been only 2 weeks since debut, the fans are already busy giving nicknames. The MBLAQ members also find this fun and interesting. And of course, they have a lot to say about it.
They are so chatty that the name 'Chic Idol' doesn't suit them. Let's look at them one by one as we get to know them better.
- Seungho (Yang Seungho): Team Leader, 'Early Adapter', 'Yang Samjoo'
He became the leader due to being the oldest. And he shows his leader-like quality by covering up everything that the other members say.
How did you get the nicname 'Yang Samjoo' and 'Way Ahead of time Seungho' ?
"A few days ago on a radio show, I made the mistake of saying that it had been 3 weeks since we debuted, instead of 3 days. So the fans gave me a nickname of 'Yang Samjoo' (T/N Yang 'Three weeks'. 'Sam' means three and 'Joo' means week.), and I really like it. (the members were happy because it was a good nickname). And please put this in the article: I was considering Rain hyung's concert as well, so I thought it'd be three weeks (laughter)... But I think I was so nervous that i miscalculated the time.
What is Early Adapter for Seungho?
"Even though I don't have many 'modern' things, I have a lot of interest in them. Out of clothes, shoes and machinery, machinery is my first priority. But that doesn't mean that I have interest in fridges or microwave ovens (laughter). I have a lot of interest in computers and other portable objects. I prefer things that concentrate on one particular function, rather than multi-functional things.
- G.O. (Jung Byunghee): Main vocal, Nickname - Teol Glass (T/N Teol means hair)
Opposed to his perhaps scary (?) first impression, he has a good sense of humour. Along with the youngest Mir, he makes everyone laugh. He also acts as an agony uncle to Seungho as they are the same age.
The nickname 'Teol Glass' is unique. And why do you wear sunglasses all the time?
"The nickname came because of my beard and sunglasses. Because the other members are 'flower boys', I wanted to be different so I kept wearing sunglasses, but I keeping looking like Michael (T/N He is a character from the Korean children's show "Dooly"). The fans keep telling me that I look cuter without the sunglasses. As I wear sunglasses and dance at the same time, my attention keeps going to that. I'm going to perform without them from now on."
Any episodes regarding the beard?
"I debuted as a member of TYKEYS, but that didn't work out well. So I went to audition at a company which seemed the most reliable. I was growing a beard at that time, but Rain told me to shave then come back, so I did it. He thought that I looked OK without the beard, but told me at a later date to grow it back again, so this has resulted in how I look right now. I don't have any thoughts in shaving just yet." (Kim Taewoo had recently told their manager that G.O. has a similar feel to him, so he felt happy).
- Lee Joon (Lee Changsun): Vocal, He plays the younger version of Rain in the movie 'Ninja Assassin'
He has a good body. He introduced himself as 'MBLAQ's muscles'. He looks like Rain. The way that he moves on stage is like Rain, so his nickname is "Baby Fox".
You must have been at an advantage at the audition because you looked like Rain.
"I followed a dongsaeng (T/N A younger person) to an audition, seeing as I was bored. Because the auditions were already at its 2nd, 3rd stage, I didn't have faith that I'd get in. I was just in awe because I got to see Jihoon hyung, but people told me to audition. I got in at once. Jihoon was initially reluctant to choose me, but he liked the way that I smiled."
"I get told that I look like Rain a lot, but Jihoon hyung is so much better looking. Even though we don't appear similar, foreigners just assume that we look the same. It's a real honour to be told that I look like my idol." (The members say that they sometimes get confused between Rain and Lee Joon.)
Your debut movie is going to Hollywood. How do you feel towards the release of 'Ninja Assassin"?
"I saw the film, and it came out as I expected it to be. In the case of Jihoon hyung, the film reflects on everything that he had to go through. Action movies destress me. It's a good action movie."
- Chundoong (Park Sanghyun): Rap, his older sister is 2NE1's Sandara Park
He went to the Phillipines when he was 4 and came back to Korea 2 years ago. Despite spending a long time abroad, his wide vocabulary amazes the other members. He is kind and gentle. They call Chundoong 'an angel without wings'.
You are an issue at the moment due to your sister being Sandara Park
"It's good that my sister is a singer. It's been ages since I saw the other family members, but I get to see her in the broadcasting company building. Because I'm with my sister, I'm more comfortable and light-hearted about everything. I hope that 2NE1 and MBLAQ succeed together."
A sudden questions from the members. They ask who he would choose if 2NE1 and MBLAQ were both up for the #1 spot.
"Mm... I don't mind. I feel bad for saying this, but I wouldn't mind if I lost."
-Mir (Bang Chulyong): Rapper, Nickname: 'Nipple' Chulyong, His sister is the actress Go Eunah
He is bright and cute like the youngest. He opens the sunroof of the car in order to wave to the fans, and replies to every single one of the fans' posts. He is the one to look forward to.
You are the youngest, but your nickname is the most mature(?)
"When I dance on stage, that part always gets exposed. That's why I have those nicknames. Whilst the hyungs get nice photos, I get captures with weird expressions or something with nipples in it. They say that I never fail to disappoint. I think it's a unique and fun nickname.
Your sister is the actress Go Eunah.
"My sister isn't a top star... (laughter). When I went to eat with the people from her entertainment company, a director told me to act. But I failed. Being a singer had more appeal for me than being an actor. My family members opposed my decision in the beginning but the CEO (he's also my brother-in-law) told me that if I have the confidence not to bring shame to Jihoon hyung and my sister, then go for it. Because my sister is also a celebrity, I go to her for guidance when I'm low and she encourages me a lot too, which is good."
