[News] Shindong “I was used by my girlfriend”

On MBC “Yoo JaeSook and Kim WonHee’s Come to Play” Global BBFs Special, ShinDong confessed that “when I was trying to prepare a birthday present for my girlfriend, everyone around me told me that she’s trying to use me”

As expected, when he didn’t give her a birthday present, she wanted to break up right after. But he hope that maybe she didn’t mean it.

ShinDong said he called her to test her, lying that he had a birthday present for her, so at least he could give something before breaking up with her.

After hearing this, the ex-girlfriend said “okay then let’s meet” and ShinDong realized that he was being used by his girlfriend.

[News] Reason to why YoonA and Tiffany’s concept photos were released last revealed

The reason to why YoonA and Tiffany’s individual concept photos for ‘Black SoShi’ were released last is revealed.

The reveal of concept photos for ‘Black Soshi’ started on 11th March and ended on 15th March with the reveal of concept photos of YoonA and Tiffany.

With that the director team leader for the project Min HeeJin said, “For the concept, the member who underwent the most transformation is YoonA. The great transformation was to cut off her fringe to bangs. She has not cut it since her debut.”

Min team leader added, “We did some transformation to Tiffany’s hair. We wanted to change from her pure and innocent look from ‘Oh!’ to something strong. And even though she has short hair now, there is this maturity in her innocence.”

So with that, there is high level of perfection needed for the 2 members’ image, hence it was revealed that the reveal of their concept photos for them have to be revealed last.

But it was also revealed that the girls will continue to undergo transformation for their image, “It is not the end for ‘Black Soshi’ yet.”

Meanwhile, the full song for ‘Black Soshi’ titled ‘Run Devil Run’ will be released online on 18th March. And the girls will have their comeback stage on 19th March on KBS Music Bank.

[News] YouTube to Stream K-Pop Concert Live

YouTube is continuing its live video streaming coverage of Asia with a concert in Korea, which will be aired in Japan, Taiwan and Korea.

Local K-pop stars are holding a concert titled ``YouTube Music Day'' for fans and aspiring artists this month.

It is the first time for Korea to host such an event.

``We hope YouTube can work as a window to introduce local singers to the world,'' said Lee Won-jin, the managing director of Google Korea.

Hosted by drummer and composer Namgung Yeon, top groups and singers, including 2AM, Clazziquai, Epik High and Leessang, will perform.

The first live streaming event in Asia was the "YouTube Tokyo Live" event on Nov. 22 and Nov. 23, 2008. Two concerts took place in Tokyo and San Francisco, and fans could witness both simultaneously through video streaming.

One of the most popular events streamed live was U2's concert, which was held Oct. 25 last year and shown in 16 countries. Its enormity shows just how far Asia has to go, but streaming in three countries should lay a solid foundation for the future.

Live streaming has broadened its boundaries recently, with various brands and firms jumping into the trend. Fashion giant Emporio Armani transmitted their show on the labels' new Web site, while Dolce & Gabbana streamed their show exclusively on iPhones. Sports fans can follow the action through live streaming as well.

YouTube is currently one of the leading video Web sites in the world, including in Korea. Being one of the globe's most wired countries, the nation already boasts a number of video Web sites, including afreeca and Pandora TV.

"YouTube Music Day" will be held at Melon AX-Hall, Gwangjang-dong, northern Seoul, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. March 20. The live feed will be available on www.youtube.com/youtubemusic. Tickets for the concert are available at http://googlekoreablog.blogspot.com.
