Thanks to theselooselips for the link! I just had to make sure everyone saw this. 

Hahah I need to watch this. Is it just me or is everyone in Kpop completely off there freaking rocker now-a-days?

The way they come at their faces is horrifying. Is that how they kiss people? Maybe that’s why Junsu cried, he knocked his teeth against Taeyeon’s (we all know it was her, chillax).

Yunho Eats It

Hahaha.

I really needed to see Yunho eat it. He takes everything way too seriously and I enjoy watching him fail. Bwahaha. I love him though, I swear.

PC Just Owned Mac

Posted in NYC, TV on September 27, 2008 by illdielaughing

I’m a mac user. I love macs. I used to hate them but now I can hardly use a pc without looking like a monkey. I really loved those Mac commercials, Justin Long is funny but…

Come on, that was awesome. They had me at Pharrell Williams. Mac commercials only have Justin Long. PC got N.E.R.D, Tony Parker and Eva Longoria. Come on, I may love macs but I love that PC commercial. I guess it’s tied now, Mac-1 PC-1.

Kang Ji Hwan Back on the Small Screen

Posted in Seoul, TV, ^_^ with tags , on September 25, 2008 by illdielaughing

Kang Ji Hwan is set to star in Triple, the new drama by Coffee Prince director, Lee Yoon Jung. Yayness. 

Joining Lee Seon Gyeon and Yoon Kye Sang, I totally agree with Dramabeans when she says that this is now the new drama to watch. Screw Hyun Bin and Song Hye Gyo’s melodrama, I want to watch Kang Ji Hwan and Lee Seon Gyeon emote for 16+ hours. THANK YOU, DRAMA GODS. 

Min Hyo Rin, I hope she can act because if she can’t she’s going to embarrass her self highly. Regardless, this is going to be pretty exciting to see three really good actors in one drama, now if Kim Rae Won was in the equation I might explode from happiness. Is anyone else extremely happy about this?

Mnet 20s Choice Awards

Posted in Seoul, TV, ^_^ with tags , , on August 24, 2008 by illdielaughing

You’ve been hearing bad reviews of the Mnet 20s Choice Awards, and it doesn’t get much better here. Except since I didn’t watch all of it, I won’t say whether it was good or bad. I can only share my experience with the bit that I watched.

The first thing I watched was JunJin and Wondergirls. I shouldn’t have. I really shouldn’t have. Jun Jin singing over Sexyback was bad, The Wonder Girls coming out in shimmery robes trying to mimic Victoria’s Secret models was BAD. But what was really bad was their performance of So Hot. All they have to do is whine and moan into the mic, but somehow they messed it up. But none so bad as Ahn Sohee. It seems my dislike for her will never end, and I am truly sorry. But this girl cannot sing for her life, just listen. 

After watching that I decided that I wasn’t going to suffer through the rest. So my review of the show ends here. Okay, maybe, I’ll end up watching it, but it’s been covered enough already.

((By the way, I have been slacking so badly with this site. I’m going to make more of an effort to post at least once everyday, so be patient with me!))

Asian Variety Shows Coming to American TV

Posted in TV, World on August 18, 2008 by illdielaughing

First it was I survived a Japanese Game Show and now Fox is taking The Wall game from Japanese variety shows and the Korean variety show, Jihwaza, for their new fall show, Hole in the Wall. Check out the preview below. (horrible quality but it’s still funny)

The game has been all over the world and America is finally get their hands on it. This is going to be hilarious. Just the preview made me crack up. The only difference is that in Asia you have celebrities doing these ridiculous things, in the US however, it’s just everyday people.

Jun Jin’s a Fake Tanner [Jun Jin's IC Initiation]

Posted in Seoul, TV with tags , , , on August 4, 2008 by illdielaughing

I was awe–but not surprised–by the fact that Jun Jin has a tanning bed.

Part 1 of 3

Jun Jin’s home was “revealed” on a recent episode of Infinity Challenge when the cast members surprised him at 2:40 in the morning. (No wonder Korean celebrities are dropping like flies, what the hell are they thinking shooting a segment for Infinity Challenge at almost 3 in the damn morning?)

Anyway, Jun Jin had been working out when they rang his bell and he showed them his gym. The first thing you see isn’t a dumbbell but a giant white tanning bed. Apparently, it was a present from fans. (I’m sorry but it is such a waste of bloody money to buy a famous, rich singer anything over 10 dollars. And honestly I don’t even understand giving celebrities anything that you can’t slap together with construction paper and glue anyway.) Read more »

Choi Ji-Woo in “Lovers in Asuka”

Posted in Seoul, TV, Tokyo with tags on July 30, 2008 by illdielaughing

The overrated Choi Ji Woo is set star in the joint Korea-Japan production of Lovers in Asuka

This production is really a vehicle for the Hallyu Wave and since the Hallyu wave first hit Japan full force in Choi Ji Woo and Bae Yong Joon’s melodrama Winter Sonata Choi Ji Woo is the obvious choice to star in this drama. The shooting starts in September in Nara prefecture, Kansai and Choi Ji Woo is clearing her schedule to prepare. I’m confused as to how much you have to do to cry on cue.

Look for this drama in December.

SM Entertainment and SBS’s “Untold Stories” [FAKE?]

Posted in Rant, Seoul, TV with tags , , , , on July 24, 2008 by illdielaughing

EDIT: THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE FAKE, IF I FIND OUT FOR SURE THAT IT’S FAKE I’LL TAKE IT DOWN. SO DO NOT QUOTE ME AS A SOURCE FOR THIS NEWS.

BoA, Dong Bang Shin Ki, Kangta and Super Junior are featured in SM and SBS’s Untold Stories, a four chapter, twenty episode show.

To me this is kind of unnecessary and gluttonous. It’s like SM Entertainment decided to do an A&E autobiography on it’s artists but none of them, with exception of Kangta, has hit thirty. This is ploy for publicity and ratings and the sheer scale of these “untold stories” makes it seem rather self-important and vainglorious. If it was one group, or one artist it wouldn’t be as bad.

It’s also rather hoaky and campy, like a long Lifetime movie. The DBSK Chapters are:

Episode 1 - Yun Ho: The Country Boy
Episode 2 - Xiah Junsu: The Mountain’s Peak
Episode 3 - Micky Yoochun: The American Dream
Episode 4 - Choi Kang Chang Min: The Priceless Stairs
Episode 5 - Jae Joong: The Street Lights

For twenty of a record companies artists to simultaneously barrage us with stories that are supposed to make us feel sad, or happy or whatever, I find nearly obnoxious. But I know that for the most part these artists are going to speak honestly about where they came from and how they got to where they are so it bothers me even more to think that their memories and their pains or joys are going to exploited for profit.

Sneak Peak at Ya Shim Man Man: Season 2

Posted in Seoul, TV with tags , , , , , on July 24, 2008 by illdielaughing

If you’re like me, you really enjoy watching the funny, sometimes absurd banter on Ya Shim Man Man and you really miss the show since it’s cancellation. Season two was announced a couple of weeks ago, and for those who can’t wait here’s a sneak peak of what we’ll see, the new format, new guests and hopefully more laughs.
