August 30, 2011 5:29 PM ♥



This .gif look so wrong in so many ways than one. Although this is pretty cute and takes your mind away from what Kyuhyun is actually laughing about. It would be helpful if I could find the show where this .GIF is cut from.

CLICK THE IMAGE! & IT WILL DIRECT YOU TO [[[KOREABOU]]]

@Koreabou a site from a fellow MT'er. I discovered it today while I was surfing MT and dropping on everyone's pages. This shocked me as I finally found a whole bunch of .GIF of KPOP STARS. xD

Also for the past day or two I have been searching SNSD's debut days it makes me curious how they performed back then and I find it more energized than their performances today, but I guess you can tell the energy coming from rookies and veterans. 

CHECK THIS OUT.

This was from back in 2009 when SBS Idol Big Show aired. ENJOY


And this is from SNSD's first broadcast.


This is by far the latest that they performed this song as I know of xD. I'm so bad at keeping up with things I am sorry.

ENJOY! everyone

I know the posts today is just crapppy but oh well.

Favorite Dish/Food

August 25, 2011 6:43 PM ♥


Korean Traditional Dish 'Bulgogi'
Bulgogi is a Korean dish that usually consists of marinated barbecued beef, although chicken or pork may also be used.

Bulgogi literally means Fire Meat in Korean, which refers to the cooking technique over an open flame rather than the dish's spiciness. The term is also applied to variations such as dak bulgogi (made with chicken) or dwaeji bulgogi (made with pork), although the seasonings are different.

HISTORY
Bulgogi is believed to have originated during the Goguryeo Era when it was originally called maekjeok with the beef grilled on a skewer. It was called Neobiani meaning 'thinly pread' meat, in the Joseon Dynasty and was traditionally prepared especially for the wealthy and the nobility class.

PREPARATION & SERVING
Bulgogi is made from thin slices of sirlion or other prime cuts of beef. Before cooking, the meat is marinated to enhance it's flavour and tenderness with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, pepper and other ingredients such as scallions, onions or mushrooms, especially white button mushrooms or shiitake. Sometimes, cellophane noodles are added to the fish, which varies by region and specific recipe.

Bulgogi is  traditionally grilled, but pan cooking is common as well. Whole cloves of garlic, sliced onions and chopped green peppers are often grilled or fried with the meat. This dish is sometimes served with a side of lettuce or other leafy vegetable, which is used to wrap a slice of cooked meat, often along with a dab of ssamjang, or other side dishes, and then eaten as a whole.

G.NA Top Girl 2nd MINI album + more KPOP Updates

August 24, 2011 5:28 PM ♥


After 7 months G.NA comes back with a new image and album. G.NA is known as the 'perfect body & voice' as soon as she debuted as a solo singer. No other solo singer other than BoA grabbed as much attention as soon as their debut. Both singers debuted during the 'idols' peak. BoA debuted during the first generation idols ( H.O.T, SES, FIN.KL, SHINHWA) & G.NA debuted during the second generation idols (SNSD, KARA, WONDER GIRLS, BIGBANG, 2NE1 & more).

G.NA comes back with her new mini album TOP GIRL which is also the title track of the album. Although Top Girl is the title track and will be used for promotional stages, her other song Banana has been grabbing more attention. Probably due to MBC banning the song as soon as it was released. Though their reasoning was pretty absurd as I must say. 

If you don't believe me, listen to the songs youself.

G.NA - TOP GIRL

G.NA - BANANA

G.NA - I HATE YOU

G.NA - WITHOUT YOU

G.NA - ICON

Listen to them as see for yourself.

MORE KPOP UPDATES

Did you know that Tiffany of SNSD started rapping?
Well here is a surprise if you thought that only Wonder Girls & KARA rap, well then SNSD has broken the 'no rapping' line. Recently videos and audios of Tiffany rapping for SNSD 2009 hit single 'Genie' has been all over the internet.


here is a cut of the rap version.


here is the full version.

Instead of the usual dance break of HyoYeon & Tiffany saying `DJ Put it back on`. They removed HyoYeon`s dance break and added the rap part. Doesn`t disappoint at all, but less air time for HyoYeon. A great addition to the song I must say, it gave the song more personality and SNSD finally broke their cute image.

RAINBOW - A! Japanese Version
Rainbow from DSP Media. Yes! They are KARA`s labelmate. Rainbow debuts in Japan with their 2010 hit song A! Fans rave over this version as they all comment that the moves & outfits are much more perfected than before. They also compliment Rainbow`s fluent Japanese pronunciation. 

Watch the Music Video for yourself and see what Rainbow can do.

GIRLS GENERATION - KARA & WONDER GIRLS CONFIRMED COMEBACKS!

KARA will make their comeback first with their third album STEP. It is currently planned to be released on September 6th. Though the planned date could change, for now waiting 3 weeks is bearable.

GIRLS GENERATION will make their comeback second with their third official album. No other information has yet been released, as far as SM Entertainment is planning SNSD will make their comeback last week of September, three weeks after KARA.

And last but not least WONDER GIRLS will also have their comeback, it won`t be on September but November. They probably won`t face KARA & SNSD.

Though Wonder Girls won`t face SNSD & KARA there is a big chance that SNSD & KARA will release a repackage album and their is a chance that the three groups will face each other after 3 years. Plans are still in work, but fans are hoping that the three will meet each other on stage.

WONSOKA SPECIAL STAGE!

Yiruma Music

August 18, 2011 8:43 PM ♥


Have you ever thought about listening to classical music? A song without words? A song that tells a story using only musical instruments? Well then meet Yiruma.

Yiruma is a re-known international pianist and composer from South Korea. Several of his most popular pieces are 'River Flows in You' 'Kiss the Rain' and 'Maybe'.

If you were a fan of Korean Dramas since the beginning of 2000, then you'd probably notice that a lot of his pieces were played in the early 21st century dramas. 

POPULAR PIECES

River Flows in You

Kiss The Rain

Maybe

Enjoy them and I promise that they will move you. His pieces are amazing, mode-lifting and moving. Check them out.

This posts was not planned, thus it's not really developed. Will be adding more soon enough. Yiruma is also one of the pianist I'm trying to feature on my next 'MT News Play that Funky Music' Section.

In the beginning of the show it was apparent that Krystal, Yunho, Kim Byung Man & Son Dam Bi would face each other somewhere near the end. Netizens weren't wrong as Krystal, Kim Byung Man & Son Dam Bi faced each other in the Final Grand Prix. Though Yunho quieted near the end due to overwhelming overseas schedule.

Each contestant was partnered up with professional figure skaters who were either current or former members of the national team.

This day the last episode and the winner was announced. 
Krystal & Lee Dong Hoon took the prize home and the couple were chosen to participate in the upcoming Festa on Ice 2011 w/ Kim Yuna and other professional Figure Skaters


With their performance who wouldn't choose them as the winner. The passion, chemistry, transition and technique were there. Krystal once again showed her professionalism as an artist. Lee Dong Hoon made an amazing comeback as a figure skater. 

Judges specially Kim Yuna & David Wilson praised the couple.

In the end it was the two who took the prize home. :D
