Teefy Yewon on instagram now as well. http://instagram.com/yyee_v

And can I just request that people please give names to go along with photos? Seems like it used to be somewhat common but now it almost never happens. Not just directing this at No No Eul, but seeing his post reminded me of what I was going to say a while ago.

Edit 2:

Article: Korea Communication Standards Commission issues 'Running Man' a warning for Chinese swear broadcast

Source: Star News via Nate

1. [+763, -48] Do you think Sulli really didn't know? She has two Chinese members

2. [+681, -31] And yet still no official apology from her

3. [+648, -43] All because of that disrespectful cao ni ma...

4. [+69, -5] The warning will be quietly buried anyway... The power of SM

5. [+49, -5] Taeyeon talking abrasively on radio, Sunny's profanity hat, Kangin's assault scandal, Sulli's Chinese swear.. amazing ㅋ

6. [+49, -3] So if I was Chinese, I would've heard someone say "your mom's a sl*t" on TV... What was Sulli even thinking? Running Man is a show that is loved all around the world, too...

7. [+45, -2] Running Man receives the consequence for Sulli's mistake... aigooo

8. [+29, -5] Should just formally apologize... I highly doubt she didn't know what it meant, especially when she has Chinese members and is probably even learning Chinese herself.

Can never pass up this gif

Maybe you mean Kim Tae Woo?

lol, neither of them, his name is really Kim Taewon, you guys know my tastes, he's not the one in the results on Google images, lol. But it's understandable, I can't really seems to find much about him, not even on Korean sites, I found like 10 images in total, lol. Anyway, I was just searching on the KBS World YouTube channel to see if there was something interesting to watch since there is absolutely nothing interesting on TV in this period. So, I just randomly watched the Gag Concert (which I guess no one watch here, lol). And in one of these sketches I found him, he is a comedian. The sketch is hilarious, the title is "The King of Ratings", basically it's the sketch of a producer that tries to make (hilarious) changes into a drama so that it can have better ratings. Unfortunately Taewon doesn't have many lines. In fact, his role is the one of a guy that becomes any character the producer want him to be when they are out of actors, lol. Lately he is in another sketch called "Legends", based on some sort of school to be a great singer (Shin Bora is in this sketch too), and surprise surprise, he can sing well!

The King of Ratings on KBS World Just choose one of them randomly, they are hilarious and lol at the "idol" part and his terrible acting.

Butt-pad, and Dara looks the same to me.

Speaking of Taeyang, why is there no official version for this?!?! (As far as I know)

 

[oc]

Because it's a cover of an Usher song, I think.

Butt pad or not, she looks gorgeous in that vid. I guess what I'm talking about is 2NE1's outfits? They look like wannabe gangster hobo's from the 90's. I think if you put CL and Dara in decent clothing, they'll be able to make any man swoon.

And yes, OC is right. It's an Usher song... one of the best Usher songs at that. I agree though, I'd love to see a more official version of that. The instrumental sounds more sexier than Usher's version lol.

Seems like Do You Love Me is out already.

If you can't ever find subs.... rough translations:
Basically the topic was photos that KARA has been taking lately:
Seungyeo - Taking photos with her puppies all the time. And that every time she takes a photo, she gets a new angle/expression with her puppies.
Nicole - "Food and me" was her theme, and is able to brag "I'm eating this! You're jealous aren't you?" when taking these photos. And her most recent "favorite food photo" was hitsumabushi
Gyuri - Beautiful sceneries / Memorable scenery. Most recent she enjoyed was the Sky Tree, but she wasn't able to go up. And then Perfume offered to go up together sometime.

And then a quick live-take of thank you summer love.

Has anybody shopped at GMarket (Korean eBay)? I usually buy my K-pop merchandise from the few popular K-pop webstores (DVDheaven, Kpopmarket etc) and eBay but GMarket seems to have some of the rare, older albums (2007-2009) that are out of print and unavailable elsewhere.

I clicked through the site and their shipping/handling policy seems really attractive. The sellers handle none of the international shipping and just sell the items. This way, they can't resort to deceptively low pricing by cutting the price of the item and hiding the costs in the shipping like almost all K-pop webstores and eBay sellers do.

You pay the sellers for the cost of the item(s) and they drop it off at the GMarket warehouse where GMarket sorts, weighs and ships it using EMS (Registered Express Mail Service) at amazing prices. I don't think I've seen better pricing for EMS elsewhere. From what I understand, GMarket does all the tracking on your account too so it saves you the trouble of going to both the Korean and local post office sites to monitor the status of your shipment.

http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_help/international_shipping_info.asp

Gonna look around a bit for more user feedback from international shoppers. If anybody has gotten stuff from there before, a little insight on your shopping experience with them would be great. Thanks.

 

[ramyeon]

I did almost all of my online shopping while I was in Korea with sellers on Gmarket, never had any complaints. Only done international purchases on there a few times and it was fine.

So Starship and and Crayon pop's label are being accused of digital manipulation by the big 3?(At least according to the specualtion by K Netizens) The IRONY

They arent satisifed with the fact they they own basically the entirety of the South Korean media manipulating all the music shows and they're pressed cause one or two bands got higher on a digital chart for a few nights.

How TRAGIC

Come at me bro.

Wasn't a dig. I'm interested in watching the show. Was just a related image.

But it cant be them since Slayon Pop's video went viral way before the chart slayage.

Also with the amount of popularity they've garnered the evidence points to it not being them as much as people think that group is a joke.
