Yeeeeaaaahhh...I really want to say something about it...but I've got nothing. I will say I found it incredibly hilarious when Rain's pictures came out, the first thing I heard from most people:
'They better not screw up MBLAQ's comeback!'
*Sighs* I love you both...but WTF were you thinking?

IU – Gee, Lies, & Sorry Sorry

Perhaps it’s the over-packaged, and over-gimmicked (in trying to differentiate them) presentation of Kpop artists/groups by companies, that I’ve become immune to the Kpop scene. So I was pleasantly surprised to learn of IU; a young, lyrically-emphasizing, music-writing, guitar-playing, indie-soul singing, non-Kpop-cookie-cutter-presented talent. IU’s debut in mainstream music sparked talk of a revival in the industry, and a new generation of teen singers. From the second album it seems IU’s label is still tweaking on how to “image” her to be accepted in mainstream Kpop; But many are waiting to see if, and how, this young artist survives and revoluntionizes a growing indie-Kpop segment of mainstream Korean music. For an introduction to IU - Read Here *I love the above video, not only for her renditions but also for the host of the program. lols. I wish she would release an album with her renditions/covers – it would be an instant seller.*

Singapore has long been known as a place that cultivates talents and rear innovative musical artists. Many of their notable singers gained popularity because of their creative leanings, industry acclaimations, Chinese “Grammy” winnings, and critical hype. So I was surprised to discover a new, identical-twin duo (Miko & Yumi), who shows diverse potential in singing, musical creativity, dancing, and transcending borders when they’ve been mundanely marketed. They’ve trained in Korea and Japan for various styles of dance, studied piano and violin, learned various languages (touting Chinese, English, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, etc.), and sing well (despite their “idol” image). Of course, their youth, prettiness, and maturity also contributes to BY2’s star potential, but I’m more intrigued by their expansive repertoire of talents. Not partial to how their company has imaged them (or outfit-ed them – too sexy), and their pop-y song selections (they are capable of diverse genres), but I guess that’s a trend in Asia hard to bypass.

The God Motha
For those following the Kdrama universe, you must have heard of, if not participated in, the ‘drama’ outside of the drama, My Fair Lady. And I? Well, you can say I’ve had my fair share of bump-ins with the fans – rare, since I usually ignore such wars, and pick my battles even if an invasion was evident.
So what is causing such a ruckus in the universe of Kdrama? A few premises first. Yoon Eun Hye’s dramas are fanatically popular – and I’ve seen all to date; Largely because she impressed me early on and haven’t faltered far from my expectations. As YEH’s comeback after 2 years, you can say I was expecting…a contingency from where she left off - if not an improvement. Add the addition of Jung Il Woo, who showed much maturity and perseverance in his role of Iljimae, the likeability of Yoon Sang Hyun’s portrayals, and the much talked about acting capability of Moon Chae Won…you can go as far as say I was thrilled about this drama.
Blame it on the high profile participations, glorified promotions, the intolerance of netizens, the downtrodden economy, or whatever it may be…but the participants of this drama, especially it’s leading lady, YEH, is getting much heat over what may seem to some, as completely unfair and unjustified. Unfair, it may be, but unjustified…it is not.
1) Expectation: Expectations for this drama were high, even with the stigma of ‘romantic comedy’ attached. It’s largely due to the success, in quality and/or popularity, of the four leading actors’ ‘still-fresh’ previous works, including Coffee Prince, Return of Iljimae, Queen of Housewives, and Brilliant Legacy. Somewhat like when a team of athletes have obtained bronze, silver, and gold medals, in the last few years, and more than once, you have certain expectations that they’ll stay on the podium. In addition, it’s a trendy rom-com, regardless of scripting/directing, its well-received actors should make it easily approachable. (I’ll make a small stab at BOF here.)
2) Intrigue: With the exception of YEH, the other leads have not been widely known for, nor even participated in, rom-com works. Many are unsure of how these actors will do on a genre they’ve not specialized in. As for leading lady, YEH – it’s been 2 years, and like any artist who’s been gone for some time, you’re wondering what time and experience, maybe unbeknownst to you, has done to shape this artist. It all adds to the unknown, mystique, and the intrigue of this drama.
3) Focus: There is much media spotlight and focus, particularly in Kdrama cyberspace due to the above mentioned points, but also because the majority of the ones online and spreading the hype, are in the age brackets to watch this type of show (Lols, as if you all didn’t know). Add that to glorified media reports, plethora of promotions, expectations, intrigue, and you now have a lot of people, who may not originally have a particular liking to the actors or drama content, pay attention.
Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the drama, along with it’s leading actress is facing a mountain of criticism. Why? Well, when people are let down, angry, frustrated, or harbor any negative emotion, they reflexively narrow down on one, or a few, targets, and release it, usually out of proportion. It’s also the easiest to focus on the ‘biggest’ or most prominent target – similarly to how the world’s financial crisis is “all America’s fault,” though Europe and Asia also contributed to the financial speculation. So the next question is why are viewers/netizens let down?
It’s not one thing that seems lackluster about the drama, it’s actually several factors that add to a general sense of “something is missing” in My Fair Lady. Those paying attention to this drama because of the hype, and not tied to a particular interest group to give allowances, are plentiful...younger, more passionate, and outspoken. So if these relatively objective (not part of a fandom) viewers see something they don’t like, or feel disappointed, they are going to voice it. And herein lies the problem. ‘Objective’ viewers reflexively try to pin-point their sense of disappointment (on YEH here) in order to validate their opinions. This in turn offends ‘subjective’ viewers to defend their idols or ideas…the nit-picking of comments/opinions go back and forth, assumptions are irrationally made, and before you know it, a war has broken out. Like a hound smelling blood in the air, the media further extorts and sensationalizes the situation, which then is further exacerbated by netizens. It’s a vicious cycle.
Personal Views: It’s true, I am disappointed with the drama – though as time goes by I’m growing somewhat attached, like anything else in life with time. I was expecting YEH to ka-boom me with her chemistry, like she’s always been able to do with her male co-stars, if not her portrayal of the character. Because…I believed in her; in her innate perceptiveness as an actress, her onscreen charm, her willingness to succeed. I felt let down. Add some unnatural, and/or over-the-top portrayals, ineffective directing, hapzard scripting to the mix, and it was disappointment all around. I was depressed; sad, to see great, harboring-such-potential actors, not have it work out. So I’ve latched onto positive remnants of the drama, including Wang Seok Hyun and Moon Chae Won.
Having witnessed a few cyber wars, I can truly say I understand how both sides feel, even if I may not agree with some positions. However, coming from a person who truly liked YEH, not just for her works, but also her down-to-earth, charming personality, I was quite disappointed with some of her fans. I don’t think I, nor some others, were extreme in criticism, or tried to target disappointment on one person. Yet, we must have been caught in the battle-rage of this war for her fans to lash out at our comments – to which I can understand. In a war, when there have been attacks from the ‘enemy’ – even a shadow that resembles the ‘enemy’ will be terminated, so as to prevent possible loss. Being completely honest, I now feel, though it may be shallow to feel so, and against my rational mentality, somewhat detached from YEH. If it had only been her lackluster performance, I would have gotten over it easily enough, offering reasons such as “she’s been out of practice,” “her co-stars don’t help spark her acting chemistry,” and the like; But to add insult to injury from fans – it has impacted my personal attachment to the actress. I can only hazard a guess that if I, who harbors such like and respect for her and is usually of a more rational mentality, were to feel this way, how would others who took greater offense, feel towards the actress?
This is why I feel utterly sympathetic to YEH, as an actress and as a person. Not only is she being criticized from all sides, sometimes overly harsh, for her acting capabilities, but now some of her fans are further aggravating the situation and driving others to have negative associations with YEH, as an individual. Everything has a positive and negative connotation - supporters can be your source of inspiration, but they can also be your source of frustration. I’ve seen this happen, time and time again in my decade long viewing of Asian entertainment. However, this time, it hit a little closer to home.

The ROL
1. Song Joong Ki
First Discovered…as a handsome cameo in A Frozen Flower. However, it wasn’t until his role as ‘Joong Po’ in Triple that I “fell in love” with this older-but-baby-faced new actor. His cameo in My Fair Lady got me further anticipating this newbie, though it was too short a cameo, and the drama left much to be desired. ‘Potential’ Points…well, other than looking adorably squishy and honest, the guy has won me over with his natural protrayal, and chemistry with his co-stars. It’s hard to find young and new actors who consistently & convincingly performs, generates great chemistry onscreen with all co-stars, and showcases charisma - when he only appears for maybe less than a couple minutes at a time. Currently, he’s MC-ing and acting. Dramabeans posted a great interview on him — Read It Here. Keep a lookout for this cutie as he enters mainstream Korean entertainment.
2. Shin Se Kyeong
First Discovered…with Moon Geun Yeong in My Little Bride. The girl did not catch my attention for her looks, nor the role she got, but rather the expression in her eyes and contemplative protrayal. There seems to be a melochany and pensive shadow in her eyes when she’s looking at the camera. ‘Potential’ Points…I’ve seen her in 2 1/2 movies (I only saw snipets of Five Senses of Eros - her baring protrayal will leave an impression on you); and 2 dramas, Queen Seon Deok, and recently airing, High Kick 2. In all her works, she displays befitting eye expressions, realistic protrayals, good transitioning, and relays the characters’ emotions well - right from the start. I have expectations that this young actress is going to do well in the artistic arena, but don’t know about her popularity marks with the audience. Let’s see how she does capturing viewers’ hearts now that she’s in a daily drama.
3. Jung Il Woo
First Discovered…in High Kick, which I only skimmed a couple of episodes before dropping because I found it to be rather silly and lacking plot. I really discovered him in his breakthrough drama, The Return of Iljimae. ‘Potential’ Points…As his first leading role, his protray of Iljimae did not disappoint. He showed good eye expression, great chemistry with his female lead, transitioned complex emotions well, and sincere acting. There is no doubt, however, that the role, his looks, and the production values of Iljimae buoyed his likeability and appropriateness of his protrayal. Il Woo’s new role in My Fair Lady lacks substance/development in comparison, but there were a few scenes in a few episodes that showcased his ability to relay subtle emotions. He seems to have the talent, popularity, and luck going for him.
4. Kim So Eun
First Discovered…in a CF with Super Junior’s Kim Ki Bum. At the time, I had no idea who she was, but I found her to have incredibly natural, and varied facial expressions. It would be years later that I re-discover her in Boys Over Flowers. To be honest, I was prepared to like her, since I’ve liked all of the actresses who’ve played 'Yuuki' in Hana Yori Dango, but I was knocked-over by her instaneous chemistry with Kim Bum. Not only did she not disappoint, she shined in front of the camera despite her limited screentime. ‘Potential’ Points…KSE did exceptionally well as young 'Chun Chu' in Empress Chun Chu, so great that I could not get used to the adult version of the Empress and had to drop it. So Eun’s role in Man Who Can’t Get Married had more screentime, but lacked real character development. I found the show’s script disjointed. I was not disappointed with her performance though, as once again, she convincingly delved into the character right from the gecko, and generated great chemistry with both of her male love interests – even when one of them was older by 20+ years (I was expecting awkwardness or a disconnect). Kim So Eun may not be the most artful in acting amongst the ‘potentials,’ but shows great character and promise because of her natural expressiveness and innate perceptiveness of her roles. KSE turned 20 on Sept. 6. To track KSE, check out soeun-angels
5. Jung Ui Chul
First Discovered…alongside Jang Geun Suk in DoReMiFaSo and boy, did he instantly grab my attention. It was the dark, brooding expression in his eyes that caught me – the same set of eyes that seized me when I saw him on top of the roof, ready to jump, looking at Jandi, as he cameo-ed in Boys Over Flowers. ‘Potential’ Points…Charisma. Simply put, the guy just impacts the screen – you can not dismiss his presence nor that soulful, pensive, sometimes condescending expression in his eyes. Much of the time, he doesn’t even speak onscreen. Rather, he uses body language, facial expression, and eyes to relay his characters, and transition from thought to action. That to me, is the epitome of acting – not acting. Of the 5 potentials, he seems to be the least active in getting into mainstream K media - you’ll be hard pressed to find his interviews, variety appearance, drama roles, scandals, or even MVs/CFs. Keep an eye on this one, he may just be the dark horse. ^_*
And the product?
Three of the above mentioned ‘potentials’ are in this artistic, sexually explicit movie. There are tons of other actors that I really like in here, but I haven’t been able to get my hands on a HQ version of the full movie. For more info on the film - Read Here.
As a note, this is not my complete list, just some ATMs that have left great impressions and expectations of artistic development in the near future. Also, I do not include ‘potentials’ who I have not seen in at least 3/4 different roles because I’m a firm believer of brilliance comfirmed by consistency. I highly suggest checking some of these actor’s related works, especially their breakthrough productions, and the below movie.

You know you have too many award shows when the last award show is a rehash of every music show throughout the year with a few special performances mixed in to make it a little interesting. That is exactly what the MBC Gayo Daejun unfortunately did.
It was really hard to find ten performances I actually liked that were different from what they normally did on the music shows, but I think I came up with a pretty good list.
1. After School & SDB-When I Grow Up: Gahee and Bekah are my 2 fav members now!
2. 2PM & SNSD Stage: Very cute stage
3. SG Wannabe & MIJI: Oh their voices were amazing!
4. Baek Ji Young & Lee Seung Gi-My Ear Candy: I was shocked by this and I love LSG More after this performance (not that I didn't like him before).
5. Brown Eyed Girls Stage
6. 2PM Stage: I wish I loved this one more, but the other two were so much better
7. SNSD Stage
8. SHINee Stage: LOVE this remix of RDD; love Kara's dresses
9. Kara Stage: I hope the one cheerleader is ok, it looked like she hit her head hard!
10. Davichi-8282

The ROL
Being monkey-in-the-middle between two rival channels with massive lineups is not a fun position to be in. Fortunately, it didn’t affect KBS’s Gayo Daejun at all. In my opinion, KBS’ show was my favorite of the three festivals. It didn’t have a huge building that looked like an airport hanger or huge set pieces that looked like they were from a movie, but everything seemed to flow better and didn’t seem so rushed.
Also, The variety of the performances were better, in my opinion, with idols sharing the stage with legends and many different genres of music were represented instead of it just being one big idol show (not that I mind, but sometimes you need a little variety in your life).
Here is my top 10 and honorable mentions. Again this was incredibly hard to choose everyone was so good!
1. 2PM Stage: They've been suprising me with every stage and I love "Tired of Waiting"
2. IRIS OST Recap: KTW, BJY & SSH together at the end was just amazing
3. 2NE1-Fire: Even with a basic stage they can totally rock the house. And how can you not like this song!
4. KTW, Jonghyun & Kim Jung Mo-Beat It: Their voices were so amazing!
5. 1N2D Stage
6. SSH & 2PM Special Stage: They were so adorable here when they were fainting over SSH *lol*
7. 2NE1 & Lee Seung Chul
8. SNSD, BEG & Davichi-I’ll Be There: Their voices together sound amazing!
9. MC Mong Stage- Horror Show: Loved the performance and if you haven't watched the video, do it. It's hillarious!

First out of the gate, SBS Gayo Daejun is shaping up to be the big festival of the year with literally EVERYONE in Kpop set to attend.
From hot hip-hop performances to cool singers giving it their all, cute girl groups to even cuter boy bands, epic drama parodies to the glorious return of Heesica, the SBS Gayo Daejun has something for every fan.
Here is my top ten of the best performances of the night. This was extremely hard for me to choose because everyone did so well this year. Do you agree with me?
1. 2PM Stage: everything about this performance was top notch. They really stepped it up and I was especially impressed with the acrobatics. I was not to fond of "Heartbeat" when I first heard it, but now I may have to go back and give it a second look.
2. Super Junior Stage: masks aside (can we please retire the masks in 2010), their performance was electric. They had everyone in the place dancing, and OMG Yesung's voice was HOT! In my opinion, "Sorry, Sorry" was the best song of 2009. I mean how can you not get up and dance to that song!
3. Kim Tae Woo, Junsu, Jonghyun & K.Will Special Stage: Their voices individually and together were amazing. Every time I hear "Bump & Grind" I always think back to the movie "Without A Paddle" (watch it, it's hillarious!), and I can't help but laugh when I hear this song. But Junsu TOTALLY made me love this song again.
4. CL & GD-The Leaders: How hot was that performance! though GD NEEDS to grow his hair back. Not really liking the "Moe from the 3 stooges" look. The only thing I wish was that Teddy was there.
5. SNSD Stage: Great performance, very energetic. Love the set for "Gee" and I LOVE the PJ's they look so comfortable!
6. CL-Heartbreaker: CL totally gave GD a run for his money with her version of "Heartbreaker". Would've totally pwned if she did the dance in those heels, but none-the-less, an awesome performace from "The One and Only Baddest Female".
7. GD & Taeyang-Lies & Korean Dream: How adorable were they as kids! and the mini GD & Taeyang were a nice touch. The performance was great and it's so nice to see them still friends after 10 years.
8. Brown Eyed Girls ft. 2AM-Sign (Remix): I LOVE the remix and their voices were amazing. Great Performance from an awesome group!
9. 2AM, 2PM & Beast-Sign: Jo Kwon as Ga In. One word, EPIC! out of this set of performances, they were the best!
10. Davichi & 2AM Stage: Both group's voices were all on point and I love both songs.
Honorable Mentions: (in no order)
-4Minute, Kara & After School-Heartbeat: awesome performance!
-SJ, SHINee & MBLAQ-Muzik: Key and Joon looked hot, loved Shindong's wig and I absolutely LOVE Mir in pigtails *lol*
-Bom & Taeyang-You & I: They really need to put this version on either one of their albums!
-MBLAQ & Beast Dance Battle: Joon looked hot ripping his shirt, but Seungho totally pwned with the flips!
-2PM-Bo Peep Bo Peep: Made this song 50 times better IMO
-SHINee & SJ-Gee: HEESICA!! *LOL*
-2PM & Beast-Mister: the "butt dance" was fantastic!
