This week it's all about SMTOWN for those who doesn't know SMTOWN is the name given to the artists of SM Entertainment when they are all together. (ex. during a concert, special albums & etc.)
First we will talk about Super Junior for those who doesn't know two members of Super Junior better known as (SuJu) released a single titled 'Oppa Oppa' and believe me it's an addicting song.
The live performances of the song are also nothing but amazing, it's a feat for the two members of Super Junior. So without further ado! I present to you Donghae & Eunhyuk's song of the year.
I posted the one where they performed together with the rest of the Super Junior members and Yesung & Ryeowook's stage are hilarious ;) talk about some serious dance lessons.
Next is the leading girl group for the K-POP World Domination. Girls Generation (SNSD) now when we're talking about a girl group who can belt out the English Language better than anyone then we have SNSD on our side. These girls have been dominating the Korean Charts ever since the released of their most successful single Gee.
Ending the year with the bang, SNSD released an special Christmas Song that was sang in english and it's better than any other SM Artist. Titled Diamond the song is nothing but amazing. Christmas is over, but I still listen to the song. So, without further ado! Listen to SNSD's Diamond.
The Music Video we're still cuts from the actual SMTOWN Music Video and from past endorsements.
Last is EXO the new boyband that is suppose to grace us K-POP fans next year, and I must say they are not disappointing us. I mean look at their background, they have SM ENT backing them up, for their debut showcase they had f(x), Girls Generation, TVXQ, SHINee and Super Junior backing them up. If that isn't support from your labelmates and then I don't know what you guys would call support.
Although only 4 members of the group we're announced it is still a mystery as to how many members really are in the group. SM ENT announced that they would be debuting two boy bands next year much like Super Junior who has sub-groups all over the place. EXO members would be divided into two subgroups one named EXO-K (K for Korean) and EXO-M (M for Mandarin). Well, then let's just wait and see what SM will do.
That is all for today, by next week I should have another post :D

New Layout Design + SNSD 'The Boys' Solo Teaser Images
October 29, 2011 10:30 AM ♥
After 3 weeks I finally changed my layout onto something different this time it's PINK the official color of SNSD.
For now let's forget about Wonder Girls' comeback and let's turn the wheel back for a week. A few days I stumbled upon Girls' Generation's comeback solo shoots.
Without further ado! Here are the rest of SNSD's solo teaser images.
Girls' Generation Taeyeon
Girls' Generation Jessica
Girls' Generation Sunny
Girls' Generation Tiffany
Girls' Generation Hyoyeon
Girls' Generation Yuri
Girls' Generation Sooyoung
Girls' Generation Yoona
Girls' Generation Seohyun
The photos that were just posted, were from Girls' Generation's second wave of teaser images for their album 'The Boys'. ENJOY!
As soon as I got home I checked SMTOWN's Youtube right away and I was so excited to see that Girls Generation already released their Music Video for both Korean & English Version for their song 'The Boys' and my anticipation, excitement and everything else that comes with it, went down the drain as soon as I watched both Music Videos.
First there was no change on both Music Video it was the same clips, same actions the only thing they changed is the music.
Second the song is something that should be sang by rookies not professionals. I mean right now I'm ready to go and get Teddy Riley & SM Entertainment for letting Girls Generation release a song like this. I mean seriously? It has Britney Spears & Gwen Stefani written all over it.
To say that I'm disappointed means I'm being a little bit too nice because the song just SUCKS Balls really!
Right now I'm having second thoughts about this release. I think SECRET did a better job with their comeback album than Girls Generation did.
As promise Girls Generation released a 30S preview of each Music Video one for the English Version and the other for the Korean Version.
The second teaser for the Korean Version of the Music Video. As usual a sexy yet fun concept for Girls Generation, though what concerns me is that the song sounds a lot like Gwen Stefani's HollaBack Girl. It's not something to point out right now but I think this would become an issue sooner or later.
If the song is somehow plagiarized I'd be upset as it's producer Teddy Riley is well known in the States and he should know about Gwen Stefani if not then I just don't like the man then. Well I never really liked Teddy Riley from the very beginning, but let's just say that when the song is released and it's something that I would cherished and love for a long time.
Without further ado here is the second Music Video Teaser for the English Version of the song
After weeks and weeks of hanging fans. Girls Generation revealed a final release date of their album and it's not only in South Korea but worldwide what's surprising is that their title track The Boys will also include an english version of the song.
Without Further ado here are the teasers of the music video and Girls Generation itself.

Name: Laarni Soriano
Residing in: The Northern Hemisphere
School: Attending College for Administrative Assistant
Birthday: May 23, 1992
Status: Single || In A Relationship || Engaged || Married || Divorced
I was born in a little town called Baritao in the Philippines. I lived there for 11 years and moved to Canada. I've been living in Canada ever since, and of course I've visited
the Philippines once. I can speak Pangasinan, Tagalog & English though I'm a bit slow with understading & reading Pangasinan sentences. I work & I go to college. I enjoy listening to
K-POP & R&B Music, I love to dance and sing around the house. I enjoy making Minitokyo Layouts & playing with different shades of colors, sometimes I even surprise myself due to the
result of my experiments. I love to watch Korean TV Dramas, Variety Shows & etc. Once in a while I watch anime's specifically BLEACH, GUNDAM SEED, GUNDAM SEED DESTINY, GHOST HUNT & others.
Luminous Rain || Minitokyo Layouts
Luminous-Rain has been with me since July 2011. I once blogged in Tumblr but it only gives me the ability to posts a few stuff. Searched and Searched the web for a blogging site
that can provide my need and I happen to stumble upon Blogger. Luminous-Rain is the third name of the site, it first started with Hime-Dreams but since the name seem a
bit off I decided to go with S-KoreAii but it seems too direct, so I decided to change the name of the site again and I came up with Luminous-Rain I don't really know what it
means, but I really love the name that I came up with so I changed it again, there is the story of how Luminous-Rain came to life.
Love is a continous shattering piece of mirror that leaves everyone a painful memory to carry on to their lives
Live life to the fullest, don't give a reason to anyone to ruin your day or your future! Continue walking like your walking through a path of cloud
Life is precious, it is given by GOD and therefore no human being should take another human being's life. It is only GOD who is able to give and take life away.
Our parents, are merely a vessel given to us by GOD so that someone will pass GOD's love to us. Therefore treat your parent's respect and show them how you appreciate their hardships.
