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.

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
