[Video] Super Junior -A Walk To Remember and Message to E.L.F!

The videos were actually posted by sjworldnet at Youtube since 30th April. I don't know how many of you know about this and watch it already. But i think all the E.L.F know A Walk To Remember right? The videos are very meaningful to Elves, so i decided to share with you guys. 

Correction: The video writes nov. 11, 2005. but that's a typo. they officially debuted on nov. 6, 2005

Besides, if you don't have time to watch a walk to remember, i suggest you guys watch ♡Super Junior and E.L.F.'s relationship♡ although it's an old video. In the video, you can see that they mentioned about E.L.F and how much they love E.L.F! Enjoy!

[Info] Christmas fashion items from 4Minute!

4Minute designed some cool pouches for the various MP3 series of Sony. These pouches are valuable not only because they are designed by idols, but also because of their fashion value. It is the best gift for yourself this Christmas, don’t you think so?





Now let’s take a closer look at the pouches designed by 4Minute.

GaYoon is the designer of the pouch for NWZ-S740 series which has a talking function. This mp3 seems to have helped her through her university entrance exam preparations. A pink pouch with dark spots is suitable for young students, a very cute design.

SoHyun designed the pouch for NWZ-S540 series with quality speakers. Her colourful design fits the energetic mp3 player and at the same time represents the fashionable style of 4Minute.

HyunAh designed the pouch for the NWZ-B140 series. The sparkling LED is just like HyunAh, so charismatic. Her design is simple, with purple as the base colour, this is quite different from the enthusiastic HyunAh we see on stage.

JiYoon has always been showing us much charisma on stage, same goes for her design for the cool NWZ-X1050 series, which is in the charismatic colour of black, the colour that is a timeless trend. If you have not realized, 4Minute's Muzik has been used for the CF of this series as well.

JiHyun’s pouch design is cute yet elegant for the NWZ-E440 series which comes in many colours and has a great sound system. White circles on a black background reminds one of snowflakes falling down from the night sky of winter. The leader sure shows off her cute charm with her adorable design. 


The girls are holding E440 mp3 players in various colours here.

This promotion will end by 31st December.

[News] 2NE1 Copycat in Thailand

A copycat of South Korea's top girl group 2NE1 has shown up in Thailand, following the emergence of China's version of Girls' Generation.

The ``Candy Mafia'' music video by Thailand's four-member female group Mafia has many similarities to 2NE1's music video ``Fire,'' press reports said. In particular, the Thai members copied costumes and styles of their counterparts from 2NE1 to a large extent.

An Internet user was quoted as saying, ``We can easily find that the motor bike scene in `Fire' was stolen by the Thai group. Nonetheless, 2NE1 is superior to Mafia in many respects.''

Last week, a copycat of South Korean idol group Girls' Generation became the talk of the Internet after a photo of the nine-member Chinese girl group named Idol Girls appeared on a famed domestic portal site.

Park Myung Soo was initially set to perform this with all of the SNSD members but SNSD had a busy end of year schedule and was unable to.

Jessica also sang this song at SNSD's first concert, garnering applause from the fans.

Also, comedian Jung Joon Ha will perform "Young Gae Baek Suk" with After School at the awards.

Released last month on the 25th, After School’s second single album “Because of You” has topped online music chart “Soribada” for the second month of December (6th-12th), keeping their top spot for two consecutive weeks.

[News] Girls' Generation kicks off first Asia tour

An unprecedented number of older male fans showed up for the concert of a female idol group at the Olympic Park in Seoul over the weekend -- the fans of Girls' Generation who started a golden era for girl groups early this year with their smash hit song "Gee". The nine-member group kicked off their Asia tour titled "Into The New World" in South Korea on Saturday, whose 13,000 tickets sold out within four minutes of going on sale. The girls held a press conference on Sunday ahead of giving their last performance of their two-day concert in the country.

Q: How does it feel holding your first concert?
Tiffany: I'm so happy. It's been my dream to hold a concert since our debut and I'm so glad it happened quickly. Our song "Gee" also received a lot of love early this year -- I feel like I'm dreaming because we've achieved so much.
Taeyeon: During rehearsals, I was worried whether the stadium that we held our concert would fill up so I was very moved when I saw that the all the seats were full at the opening yesterday.

Q: Is there anything you prepared in particular for this concert?
Sooyoung: We set up a 'family zone' toward the front of the stage so that families can enjoy the concert together. I hope they'll get to make many good memories there. We also prepared several songs which our mother's generation would enjoy.
Tiffany: Each member prepared solo gigs too which will reveal the appeal of each of us since our themes don't overlap.

Q: How does it feel looking back on 2009?
Taeyeon: I was thankful that "Gee" received so much love from the start of the year, but we got to do a concert because of that song and also received a lot of awards at year-end ceremonies, so I'm looking forward to year even more. 

Q: Did Super Junior give you any word of advice since they're more experienced than you giving an Asia tour? 
Taeyeon: Lee Teuk sent a text message saying, "I know you'll be nervous since this is your first concert but just do as well as you did while you were preparing." He always sends messages before big events like awards ceremonies.

Q: What did you have difficulty with in preparing for the concert?
Tiffany: We didn't have much time because we prepared for the concert while we were still engaged in other activities. We've been very worried but we tried our best to show our fans as much as we can with the little time we had. I'm glad and thankful that we've received good reviews so far.
Taeyeon: It was our first time standing on such a big stage so it wasn't easy memorizing our line of movement and utilizing the stage at the fullest. We'll try to do a better job with it today.

Q: Jessica, you cried a lot while singing your last song yesterday.
Jessica: A lot of thoughts crossed my mind since it was our first concert. Tears I had been holding back throughout the concert kept flowing during the encore because I kept thinking it would be our last song. And then I made eye contact with my mom and I just couldn't stop crying from then on.
Sooyoung: I was so happy when the lights went out toward the end of the show and our fans were holding up pink glow-in-the-dark sticks because it made me think, 'When would I ever get to hold a concert like this again'. It was the most beautiful sight I've seen this year.

Q: How would you score your show last night?
Taeyeon: Out of what? 10?
Sooyoung: Seven? Or 7.5 out of 10? (laugh) We'll do our best to give a perfect performance today.
Tiffany: I know our concert will probably lack in some ways since it's our first and we're very nervous, but we'll try to become more experienced so that we can call it a 10 some day.

Q: Were any of you not able to sleep because you were so nervous?
Jessica: We all slept really well. (laugh)
Sooyoung: We all eat well, sleep well...
Taeyong: I don't know if it's because I was so tired from rehearsing for the concert but I fell asleep whenever I would lay down my head. I had a good night's sleep again last night after our first show.

Q: You've all always been saying it's your dream to hold a concert since your debut. What's your next wish now that you've achieved it?
Yoona: I hope we wrap up our Asia tour successfully so that we become Girls' Generation of not only Korea, but all of Asia.

Q: Did anything interesting or fun happen while you were preparing for the concert? And what do you want to do most when you're done?
Tiffany: I think fans will get to see funny sides to us that they haven't seen on TV yet through the videos we will show in between songs. I made so many bloopers while shooting them because I couldn't hold back my laughter.
Taeyeon: The people who watched the show yesterday said they had a lot of fun. And I want to go and relax at a spa when I'm done.
Tiffanny: I want to get a massage.

Q: You'll be travelling to Shanghai, Tokyo and Bangkok after finishing performing in Seoul. Is there anything in particular that you've prepared for your shows there?
Sooyoung: We haven't been able to think about it in detail yet since the schedule hasn't been set completely but there's a chance we may release a new song next year so we might reveal that.
