SNSD and Intel collaboration song, “Visual Dreams (POP! POP!)”, is already out as well as the single’s cover. As for the MV, according to Soshified, it is set to release tomorrow, the 18th.
With the SNSD’s rapidly growing popularity worldwide, from Asia to South America to North America to Europe, the girls have gotten many foreigners’ interest. In particular, Tyler Brûlé from the UK (United Kingdom), whom is a well-known Canadian-born journalist, editor-in-chief of ‘Monocole’, entrepeneur, magazine publisher, and columnist, recently published about the girls on UK’s ‘Financial Times‘.
On January 7th, his “The Secrets of My Brilliant Korea” column in UK’s ‘Financial Times’ talked about his trip to Seoul, Korea and his analysis of considerable Korean cultural exports. In addition, he included a list of ‘the top 10 Korean cultural contents having a very high possibility of success if they were to be exported out to foreign countries’ in the trendsetter column of the ‘Financial Times’ magazine.
On January 14th, Culture, Sports and Tourism Ministry of Korea and the Copyright Protection Center of Korea Copyright Association have released the analysis of statistics for media piracy in 2010.
According to the webboard chart for music category, SNSD topped the list with 35,354 points, followed by 2NE1
Earlier today, the girls attended the “Daum Life On Awards 2010”, organized by Daum Communications and held at the Grand Hall of El Tower in Yangjae-dong in Seocho-gu, Seoul. At the awards, they performed ‘Oh!’ and ‘Hoot’ and when they went home, they brought another award with them. Can you guess what award they brought home with them?
Ever since the YongSeo’s/Sweet Potato Couple’s self-recorded UCC video was uploaded on YouTube, revealing their “Banmal Song”, it became a hit as many fell in love with it and hoped for a studio or official duet version to be released. If you recall on January 5th, it was decided that there WOULD be a studio or official version released on the 14th, but unfortunately, the version would only be sung by Yonghwa himself and parts of the lyrics that Seohyun helped to complete in the original “Banmal Song” would not be included (the reason being that a duet between the two would be impossible due to SNSD’s and CN BLUE’s busy schedules).
Like the news had said, the studio or official version of “Banmal Song” has been released earlier today on the 14th with the new alternative title, “For The First Time Lovers”/”For The First Time Couples In Love”, and although the song is only sung by Yonghwa,
it is still meaningful in terms of the YongSeo/Sweet Potato Couple. If you’ve been watching the YongSeo/Sweet Potato Couple on “We Got Married” faithfully, before the couple’s mission to work on the “Banmal Song” together, Yonghwa had initially started Continue reading →
[UPDATE]: For those of you with the computer processing power to view it, I’ve added a 1080p version of the video to blow your eyeballs out. After watching it myself, I almost had to dial an ambulance… mikechi.
Apparently Yoo Youngjin’s “Beautiful Girls” music video, shown during the girls’ “Into The New World” solo concerts, has dropped. (However, it has not yet been confirmed whether or not the music video is official because the music video has not been uploaded on SM Entertainment’s official YouTube account — Sment)
Even though a lot of the fancams are must watches, BoShi fancams are the best. For me, it has got to be fancams of my favorite 2 (BoA and Taeyeon).
It’s too cute to think that BoA has been Taeng’s role model since she was little and in the fancam, she happens to be standing right beside her; not to mention that Taeng looks like she’s saying “Unnie….Saranghae (Unnie, I Love You)”)
A bunch, and I really mean A BUNCH, of fancams and pictures from the recent 2010 gayo daejuns (2010 SBS Gayo Daejun, 2010 KBS Gayo Daejun, and 2010 MBC Gayo Daejun) have surfaced and I must say, they aremust watch and must see — from fancams and pictures of performances to BoShi to HyoSun to YulSic to YuTi to TaeNy.
+ Updated with fancams & New Years celebration cut
+ Updated with last MC cuts & “Ending”
+ Updated with second main performance stage (HOOT remix ver. & Oh!) & BoA’s tribute feat. Yoona!
+ Updated with more MC cuts & interview (BTW it’s already 2011 in Korea!)
+ Updated with current rumors, MC cuts up to now, & caps/pictures
+ Updated with first main performance stage (there will be more than one supposedly)
+ Updated with 2010 MBC Gayo Daejun “Opening” with YuTi and Ryu Si Won hosting
Over the past two days, we saw SBS Gayo Daejun and KBS Gayo Daejun and undeniably, they were both exciting, but this year’s MBC Gayo Daejun has GOT to be wayyyy better. Why? Two words – more Soshi! Not only did YuTi (along with Ryu Si Won) host the festive event, but some of the girls participated in special stages. What a great way to end the year of 2010 and start the year of 2011, don’t you think?
(Please keep checking back because this post will be constantly updated as the show is being aired)
As of now, there are rumors that:
Yoona will be dancing to her sunbae’s, BoA’s, “My Name” for a BoA tribute
Taeyeon will sing with IU
SNSD is supposedly performing “Run Devil Run”, “Oh! (Rock Version)“, and “Hoot” for the event
