Really happy that I can design a Christmas Card for Popseoul! , a place provides you a fresh perspective on the news and current Korean issues in fashion, music, film and television .
Merry Christmas! Have a very happy new year!
I can’t help but I must put this video at my blog instead of Dancelove . This is JYP’s live @ 20071201 Korea Film Award LIVE today/yesterday. He performed a special melody and his comeback new songs from his Seventh album! Yea, he is really a dancing gorilla , unique dancing style. But I do enjoy this JYPark’s performance. It’s fun to watch to him and the audience…LOL, he is entertaining and he dances really hard. No surprise that he rules the stage because he is the very top artist/singer in Korea of the “last generation” plus producers of super stars like Rain and Park Ji Yoon.
JYPark’s live shows me one more thing: that’s the reason why nearly all Korean pop singers, excecpt ballad, indie and rock bands, need to dance, know how to dance and must dance for their live show. It’s a CULTURE/Tradition and value. Top producer and respectful pop singer, like JYPark also regards dance training as important as vocal training for an artist in the entertainment industry, so do the new groups and rising idols.
(P.S. Wow, I can see FaaYoung as background dancer for JYPark; who is she? She is the main female dancer for Rain, also do solo dance with Rain ^_^ *Happy*)
JYP 071201 Korea Film Award LIVE(via popseoul!)
200% 推介你看JYPark (朴鎮英/朴鎮榮)在韓國電影頒獎禮上的表演。那也是宣傳他與上張唱片六年後發行的第七張新唱片。在香港知道 Rain 的人很多。知道 JYPark會是多、或是少呢? JYPark 就是 JYP Entertainment 的 CEO，也是韓國國寶級的音樂人、R&B始祖、Rain 及 Park Ji Yoon 的經理人。當年張學友的”頭髮亂了”也是改自JYPark 的歌。如你細心看以下的表演，現年35歲的JYPark 真是寶刀未老，仍沒有改他個人獨特的跳舞風格(不是人人接受到)。也許在體力上你可以看得一點點力不從心，可是你看到他用心地跳、十分認真地表演，再加上對舞台的駕御力，一絲不苟，還會和觀眾互動，不會自恃為頂尖製作音樂人，而少了一份專業的認真態度，也可會自以為已出名，而不努力宣傳。JYPark 的成功不單單是幸運。最值得一提是他的表演令我明白，那是一種文化，由上一代的音樂人傳至下一代，他們認為表演是必須包含了唱歌和舞蹈的元素及訓練，因此你可以見到現在新一代當紅的歌手、組合，也是需要懂得跳舞、需要去跳舞、也要表演跳舞。那是一種”文化”! 香港呢? 不要談跳舞(跳舞不是打側手翻、跳舞也不是行左行右)，唱 Live 也很勉強。

繼性感女神李孝利為主角的一系列 Anymotion、Anyclub、Anystar 的音樂錄影帶廣告後，三星(Samsung) 11 月7 日 ， 發佈最新一系列的宣傳 Campaign 名為 ”AnyBand”(애니밴드) 。這系列包括 9 分鐘的音樂影帶，Talk,Play, Love Logo，Anyband Digital Single、57秒廣告、還有 Anyband concert 等等.
“廣告的相關人員表示: 在音樂領域為了表現年輕人的才華而進行音樂會，這幾位將作為ANYBAND的一員出現。 並做了相關的說明: BOA 和 Xiah Junsu 是主音 ( Junsu 是 東方神起成員)， TABLO負責RAP(Epik High 樂隊 的 Rapper)，古典綱琴家陳寶拉(JinBora)是鋼琴，以這種形式組成。”(via TVXQ Fan’s Union)
早前李孝利的Sumsung Anycall 廣告是空前地成功。沒有了性感的 Sexy Diva，Anyband 是否仍一樣出色呢?(via dramabeans)
以下是 9 分鐘足版 AnyBand CF MV，包括兩首歌”TPL(Talk Play Love )” [也就是廣告Campaign 的立體 Logo) 及”Promise”。
PS. 本人十分喜歡這 MV 的意念。慢慢欣賞由這四位才華洋溢韓國超人氣歌手組成樂隊的 Music Video吧!
9 mins Anyband MV
Samsung 廣告MV 一向都是很有故事及戲劇性。今次也不例外，不再是型男索女為主角(李孝利、Eric、權相佑及李準基)，而有著強烈以音樂傳遞概念(Concept)的主題，如故事開首的”No play, no love” 旁白/標誌、角落的立體Talk,play,love Logo和 poster、Graffiti 標題。以至故事的意象(imagery)，片段如黑暗時代的城市四處有 “Play forbidden”的標誌、人們受秘密警察監視、小孩留在家內，走馬燈打著 “Talk Forbidden”，足球王國也不能”play football”(MV 取境巴西)，足球留在店內的windows 內，樂器是展覽在博物館內附有”Love forbidden”的標誌、球場只有足球沒有人等等意象都緊扣主題。
故事大綱是 Anyband 避開秘密警察，以 samsung “Anycall”電話夾 band，再以衛星把歌曲傳送至大電視及人群的手提電話內，以歌聲傳播 “Let’s Talk,Play and Love”, “You can play, you can talk, you can love, (samsung cellphone) I’ll be by your side” 的 message。TPL的歌詞是Anyband 的 Campaign 主題。最後城市重拾生氣。
第二部分 “Promise”，以 Boa 充滿熱情的歌聲，及Xiah Junsu獨唱開首，TABLO 的 Rap 及 JinBora 綱琴演奏則在尾部的，重覆最多的英文歌詞是 “You are the one that make me sing”, ”Any time, Any day with you” 及 “I promise u”。就是說 Samsung Anycall 電話 “promise you any time, any day with you”。
你看了這個 MV 後，會不會想買 samsung 電話呢? 究竟你較喜歡 Pop & Sexy 的 Hyori Lee 或是Pop 與 Rock 的 Samsung 廣告MV? 如果你身在韓國，不要錯過 11 月 27 日 的 AnyBand Concert!
咖啡王子1號店 是近來韓國最熱門的電視劇集，上週播至第六集了。當然劇集的內容影是很典型的愛情故事，但我卻十分欣賞尹恩惠 的演出，並不是所有的女演員可以放棄自己美麗而優雅的影像，去演一個男子氣的女孩子，而且還演得十分出色。你看看她在戲內的言行舉子，真的演得很傳神，十分難想像她就是 宮 中的可愛小王妃，相信尹恩惠下了不少苦工。
還有就是店內的每一個咖啡王子都很 “搞笑”，希望不要像其他韓劇 “虎頭蛇尾”。下面有第六集的 ENDING VIDEO。背景音樂是 As One - White Love Story 。很喜歡那的剪接較果，最尾的兩句黑色字幕真的很”酷”。
Coffee Prince should be the most popular Drama in Korea recently. In fact, I did not expect much from this Korea at the very beginning.
Surprisingly, the performance of Yoon Eun Hye(member of former BabyVox) really attract my attention. I cannot imagine that the cute little princess from Goong became a “dandy boy” gal. Her superb acting attacts a lot of attention. You can see how much effort Yoon Eun Hye has been made in order to make “Eun Chan”(her role in Coffee prince) come into life vividly.
I totally agree with Dramabeans for the followings:
“Most of the time, pretty actresses do their best to look gorgeous regardless of its place in the story (waking up with perfect makeup, or dressing a poor girl in the most fashionable clothes), so I always appreciate when an actor gives up his or her highly safeguarded image for the sake of the work at large. Actors have to be emotionally stripped bare to be genuine, and often their protective vanity interferes with their art. Sorry to sound all pretentious about acting as a “craft.””
Of course, the plot of Coffee prince is kinda traditional Kdrama love story. But I really like how the director portray the Coffee prince crew. You will love all the the Coffee princes. They are very cute!!!!LOL!! I laughed a lot while watching. I love funny Kdrama, which make my life happier every day!
Really enojoy this background song from the Six Cup’s ending. See the video below, which is from the OST: As One - White Love Story . The most unforgettable moment of this drama so far. (Read summary from Dramabeans, I like the way editor edit the scene with the last two titles)P.S. I found some cute comic/cartoon pictures from forums.
In fact, “200 pounds beauty”(미녀는 괴로워) is a 2006 Korean comedy movie. As I am fan of korean stuff, when it was just coming out, I wanna watch it already. It finally showed in HK in 2007.
Really love it…Maybe ,for some people, the story plot is in quite fairy-tale, to some point I think it is quite real. Especially, the way how we preceive beauty and the norm of cosmetic surgery in Korea.
I love all the funny scene inside…Don’t miss the OST(see video at the bottom of this post), all of the songs are great! The official site’s content and the design are very cute :P : http://www.sline2006.com/ .

李孝利之前拍的劇集收視一般，不知道今次萬眾期待的 One Act Play Drama 反應會如何。之前更因為拍劇受傷。她演的是一位患有絕症的女主角，內容是寫她想成為歌星及其愛情故事，聽說劇內有不少歌唱現場演出，更借用了電視台的 stage 做拍攝，如果不看內容，看看她的台上表演，相信也很不錯!
