None of it is subbed yet, so most likely I won’t be watching Star King but yes Star Golden Bell
So comments from a person who understand -1 korean:
I loved their uniforms for SGB, if my school had ANY of those pretty uniforms, I’d be thrilled!
Part 1: Already @ 0:28 the MC is cracking me up with his rather ‘enthusiastic’ actions. They also talk about the part where Soo likes to lift up her pinky (supposedly for balance but you can’t fool me Soo!). Soo and Seo goes joins a dance, actually Seo looked half lost while Soo did it good naturally. That guy in the middle was weird though!
Part 2: They begin their TMYW perf, and I guess the girls got a bit confused here because Yuri steps in front of Tiffany for her part and Tiffany walks towards the back. But no worries, I *ahem* we got our load of Tiffany during her second solo. I thought @1:22 was awkward, I wonder if anyone else picked that part up? @0:32 I SAW this girl pop up, and (I’m SO SORRY HYO) I thought it was HyoYeon and I’m like, what the heck are you doing? Then at @1:22 I went into shock, LOL. I won’t explain it, you have to go watch yourself!
Part 3: NICOLE IS HERE! She sings a bit of TMYW, her voice sounds a bit unnatural though, at first I thought it was soar throat but after watching her more I think it was just nerves. Then I think she picks YoonA has her fav member.
Part 4: Korean much? They made fun of Tiffany/Jessica/Nicole for something.
Part 5: More quiz show and then the final question for Sunny, who ofcourse got it right! VICTORY FOR SUNNYBUNNY!

Pingback: SNSD + Variety Show = ENTERTAINMENT, Part II « So Nyuh Shi Dae Fansite
TaeYeon got to show in a few bars that she’s the best singer by far in the group and one of the best in Kpop. But she had competition in this show.
I don’t know who the girl was in the third row but she sang a few bars of something in Part 4 in which she displayed a wonderfully clear and pretty tone.
And Nicole?!! Proving as she sang several bars of “Genie” that she sings better than half (at least) of the SNSD singers. (The first year KARA had some fine singers, yet they trailed WG and SNSD in popularity?!).
Nicole, as well as Seungyun, back then were the ones that were always overshadowed by Sunghee. Nicole does rather well in English singing and all Seungyun needed back then was a little more lung and breathing exercises. When I heard them sing covers on radio shows, Seungyun and Nicole really blew me away, even with Sunghee’s power vocals next to them.
But… Sigh, let’s not bring up KARA I memories JEyon.
-sLaVe
I discovered KARA late… after SungHee had left so I watched those early videos with a gnawing sense of loss, knowing that she had left. Even with her wildly undisciplined singing, her powerful yet pretty singing would overshadow most of the best singers in the world.
I’ve only recently seem to have gotten over that loss — thanks largely to the excitement of watching SNSD this season and to other (belated) discoveries — eg, Kim Gun Mo, Sugar.
Nicole impressed me with “Genie” cuz she had greater vocal power than a lot of SNSD singers. And she was in very good voice. Of course, she had the advantage of a good microphone, no vocal or soundtrack accompaniment to compete with.
Sigh, I know what you mean. I followed KARA since day one, they were my first ever girl group in Kpop. However, I never paid much attention to Sunghee. Yes, I knew she was awesome, but Seungyun’s cuteness back then totally got me immersed in mostly her haha. But as soon as she left (a few days after my birthday no less! and I had to write the article myself on AKP) I noticed how great she was. So it still hurts to see that my first favorite girl group ever broke up as soon as Sunghee left. And yeah, her voice was uncontrolled… but it was that sort of uncontrolled where it sounded good. At least to me; compared to Tiffany’s uncontrolled kind. Sunghee’s vocals were like Joshua Allen’s explosive dancing- very untrained but it was…just something else.
And yeah, SNSD is what got me over the whole Sunghee leavin thing. I’ve got my theories on what’s going on with her in terms of legality with DSP. So hopefully she comes back. OH MAN! Sugar! I actually reallllly liked them, too bad no one else did xD
-sLaVe
Lucky you to have watched KARA from the start. Tho, I would probably have been deeply disappointed to watch them struggle in popularity despite their talent and the super songs and superb arrangements behind them.
Much like SUGAR, come to think of it.
Re Sugar, I’ve been discovering one song after another that I’ve liked. Funny how Ayumi’s very nasal voice still pleases (it often makes the song) and her early plumpness and exuberance charms. But the others were all pretty and interesting, too. I would never have expected two Japanese speakers to be the best singers, but, in SUGAR’s case, they were, IMO.
Re SungHee — were her grades a condition of the contract? It seems unlikely that they could or would pull her unless it was. Naturally, I would expect that she would still be bound to the company for the length of the original contract.
haha what a coincidence, I was just showing Thatonezombie old videos of KARA (Refusal and both perfs of Already Been a Year/Already One Year).
Honestly, KARA got more popular than Wonder Girls during Break It vs. Irony. But that was probably due to their old school style and because they were dubbed FINKL II. But I ignored the lack of popularity explosion when Tell Me and ITNW came out because it was fun being able to see them more personally than the other two. They had WAY more self-camera stuff and they got to be themselves more because tehre were less antis than there were fans.
I found Sugar because of their song Heartful (thanks to their JPHIP thread) but sadly, I never got to hear much more than a few other tunes. And for Japanese voices, their voices are surprisingly still appealing to me.
haha I’ve explained Sunghee’s situation and my thoughts on it so many times before… so to try and condense it… Sunghee was a minor at the time when she was signed onto DSP so I’m pretty sure under some law, her parent is allowed certain rights. And the agreement between Sunghee and her father because of a promise she made to her mom (RIP) and probably with DSP as well was to finish school or get into college even if she was still singing. So because she failed to do that… her dad pulled her out. NOW, although they allowed him to do that and she was still under contract, that’s GOT TO mean that they froze her contract because on legal document, she signed to work under DSP for X years and barely finishing a year means that she should still be under it. Unless the contract agreement was that it was terminated completely if her studies were not successful. Either way, I think DSP was smart enough to lock in a talent by finding some wiggle room around it. Hopefully meaning that the contract is indeed only frozen so that she HAS to make it up sometime. Which means a return. But I just really want her to replace Nam Gyuri in SeeYa now that I see no room for her in the new KARA. As sad as that is.
Sigh, but who knows. DSP was udner REALLLLLLY shitty management during KARA’s early days but I hear they replaced them completely now. Which explains the better success of DSP’s other promotions today (not just KARA cuz the whole cute concept can get anyone popular really). Either way, DSP’ll never get their FINKL days back.

Re: Sunghee. I wouldn’t mind seeing her go solo even tho KARA did manage to bring out the best in her (ie, the smart people who did the musical arrangements).
Which foreign country is she going to school in? Have you heard?
Re: DSP promotions. Promoting as a successor to another very successful group seems like a good idea (the coattail effect) but KARA shows why it’s a mistake. They were superb as KARA.
My SUGAR Favs so far: “Fade Away – Remix”, “Shine” (beautiful MV), “Himawari”, “Go the Distance”, “Secret”, “Tell Me Why” (horrible MV), “Heartful” (beautiful MV), and a TV cover of “Nan Neo e Gae” that way outshone CHAKRA. The other songs — I’m only moderately enthusiastic about them.
I definitely don’t mind her going solo either… but she might have more success if she were in a group considering the Korean industry. But like I said, DSP is pretty much fail now. I don’t even consider it fourth place in Korean entertainment companies. I’d probably hand that off tom M!Net Media and their subsidiaries. Maybe even Pledis Media.
WHOA. She’s studying in a foriegn country? I’m so behind… I just checked on Karaholics and the last thing I saw about school was: Han Yang Girls’ University for Vocal Music. (For Singing.)
I’ll check those out! thanks 🙂

“StarKing” sounds like something Cindy would do given the chance.
LOL what?
Wasn’t it you who said that if she could get to Korea she’d be “starking” the girls? Maybe I misheard you — everyone sounds Korean right now.
If if wasn’t you who said it, you probably thought it. You’re probably planning it! (You want company?)
