[Review] iHeartRadio show

September 6, 2012 in kennykulu


Here’s the whole concert. Watch it now if you haven’t do so!
(Thanks pikey so much for sharing it with us!)


As I’ve just watched that awesome mini-concert, I’m here to write a little review or like a little piece of article expressing my feelings (: BTW It feels so good to hear the girls singing and speaking in English! haha

I’m glad to hear some upbeat songs for the beginning. The girls’ LIVE singing skills for Nu Shoes was truly AWESOME as it’s compared to 777 WWT in Seoul (: And it’s cute for Sohee to have that little interaction during the introduction. haha

To move on, I was actually expecting that they sing the English version of Like This as I was told that the Korean MV was filmed with a high-pitch Eng version of the song. But though it’s understandable to sing the Korean one since it will be more familiar for the audience.

If you noticed the little moment at about 17:00, Sun swept for Sohee (: A little MinAhn sweet moment was spotted! (:

For Girls Girls, I’m glad that they brought out the meaning for the song since not everyone understands the Korean lyrics (: They don’t only bring music and fun for us but also deep meanings and blessings (: Not to mention that their LIVE skills are improved.

Yenny: … So … *silent*
*looks at Sohee*
*Sohee seems that that wasn’t her turn to speak*
How cute that moment was that haha <3

For their unreleased songs, I can only say that I LOVE IT!!!!

#OUCH Honestly, I was expecting that the song was an upbeat track at first. It turned out to be a truly nice ballad and it keeps growing on me. “Everybody’s looking for a little sweet touch, maybe I was looking forward a little too much.” This line is truly the BEST line for me. JYP did a nice job this time! Love it so much <3 I did cry just when the song got started. The song is perfect with the melody, lyrics, and the girls’ expression, it told a story.

#StayTogether Another well-written track from Ha;tfelt!! <3 Their accord for each other just brought the song to a much higher level, especially Yubin’s. <3

MIN SUNYE PARK YEEUN AHN SOHEE KIM YUBIN WOO HYERIM, I PROMISE TO STAY TOGETHER WITH YOU UNTIL THE WORLD ENDS.

(Put the line in the comment box if you promise to do so!)

Unofficial lyrics here :

[Yeeun]
I used to think, I was right

Want it all, the best~
I promised myself I’ll do anything to make~~ it happen
But now~~ I’m scared if I could
Make it right~~again after all
I’ve said I~~ never meant~ of all I could think of
is what we used to say

[Sunye]
Al~~ways~ stay together when we shine or rain

No matter the weather, we will stay~~
As long as we have each other~
Stay~~ Together~~

[Hyelim]
How many times~~ I stumbled and fell

[Sohee]
But each time~~

[EunAhn]
You were there for me~

[Sunye]
Holding my hands~~

And now I realized

[YooMin]
We could only make it through just because~~

[YeBin]
Always~~ stay together

[Yeeun]
When it shines or rains

[SoLim]
No matter the weather~

[2Ye]
We will stay~

As long as we have each other~

[YeBin]
Stay~~

[Yeeun]
Al~~ways

[2Ye]
Stay together when it shines or rains

[SoLim]
No matter the weather, we will

[Sunye]
Stay~~

As long as we have each other~
Stay~~

[YooMin]
Together~~

[Sohee]
Stay~~

[Yeeun]
Stay~~

A little side note, ‘Sohee marry me’ at the beginning was cute. XD

#WAKEUP It’s as cute as Nu Shoes! I would definitely wake up at once if it’s my morning caller ringtone. XD To be honest, I’ve already decided to buy the upcoming US album but these 3 songs strengthen my thought!! It deserves for our wait too! (:

The fan chant during Yubin’s solo dance part in Tell Me actually surprised me! It seems like Yubin is being loved in the US~kkkk

I was impressed by Yenny’s high note in 2Different Tears and Like Money! They must be so tired to dance all that long but Yenny still did a great job! <3

It’s cute that 2YeLim made mistakes during their speech XD It makes the show more livable instead of just saying everything remembered before~

Overall, the concert was amazing!! However, I do have a little complaint during ‘Like Money’. It’s a bit weird for the girls sing along with AKON’s voice…so…yeah…that’s the case.

No matter what, I did enjoy watching it and I’m sure the girls and the audience did so too!! <3 And it makes me to look forward to their US tour and album much much more!! CANT WAIT!!

BEST WISHES FOR THE ASIAN TOUR TOO!

SINGAPORE! R U READY? <3

Intro: In 2011, there were 67groups made their debut in Korea. 40 of them are girl groups. There’s almost a new girl group making debut every 2weeks.
The new waves are coming quickly, the speed of elimination is getting quicker, who can escape from the 5-year-only life?
The Wonder Girls, SNSD and KARA who lead the hallyu wave are passing their first 5-year since their debut to be the Korean’s best 3 girl groups. The formula of success and their past will be disconstructed now.

The main part of the interview:
In 2009, the song ‘Nobody’ made the Wonder Girls to be world-famous. It was good for them being on top, but then they left their safety zone entering the US market which has a bigger influence yet more suspicious.
They’re not doing magnifying, just appear on a small piece of the newspaper. Even the planned English full-length album is just around the corner…Finally, the album is confirmed to be released this year, the new single ‘Like Money’ found the American hip hop king, AKON to be featured. WG also went back to the concert stage after 3 years.
This time the 5 girls starts again after being well-equipped. The Wonder Power is coming again.

Q: The planned US full-length album is being postponed again and again. Waited for more than 3yrs, and you’re not even promoting in Korea, will you afraid of the decreasing of popularity?
SUN: We are so understand that popularity can’t last forever, so we didn’t afraid of losing our position in Korea when we enter the US market. But we received support from K-WFs continuously when we were there. We’re truly thankful for that.
YENNY: Sometimes in case of grabbing a higher target, you have to give up sth. We had strong wills to accept this challenge.
YUBIN: We won’t decide to promote overseas if we first afraid of the position in Korea. During the time of waiting, we were nervous, and it was a hard time. But for work, we’ll do our best and we will learn to enjoy at the moment. We learnt a lot in the US, it made us to grow up so much.
SOHEE: To me, promoting in the US is much more fun than being nervous. Cuz it’s a brand new experience.
LIM: I was so nervous when starting, but feeling excited about this unknown trip.

Q:The English album will be released soon, also you’ve made your debut last month in Japan. To master different languages, accepting difference between cultures, the most unforgettable thing is…
YUBIN: We’ve waited for this English album for so long. What we care the most is the pronunciation, so we keep learning and practicing so hard. I think it’s much happier that we can be close with fans despite of different lang than being famous.
YENNY: Yup, the hardest part is pronunciation. The difficuly of singing in English scores 8/10. (I’m) currently learning Japanese and Spanish.
SUN: It was hard at the beginning, but it’s getting better as (we) keep on practicing and learning.
SOHEE: (I’ve) taken Chinese class before and currently learning English and Japanese. I’ll try my best to learn the local language wherever we are.
LIM: In Japan, the most unforgettable thing is that many Japaneses wear weird clothing on the streets at daytime, that’s funny! They’re all sensitive at fashion and dressing with personal styles.

Q: Being in the US market for a while, when compared to Korea, what you love about the US market? What’s the difficulty?
SUN: The entertainment ‘system’ is different in both places. In Korea, rookies make their debut through TV programs to let the public to know them. Through tour is the way to strengthen your music career in the US. What I love most of the life in the US-especially in Manhattan, is that we can experience different cultures closely. Being in a country but you can try foods around the world…I can now understand why the US is called the ‘melting pot’ (That means it combines various cultures in a place.) Fun things including visiting Broadway to enjoy shows too.
SOHEE: It’s fun and fresh for me to tour the whole country for promotion.
LIM: US artists go on radios to promote, it’s different from Korean artists that go on TV music programs.
YUBIN: We also had chances to be the opening acts for concerts in the US. What we had learnt in the US can’t be experienced in Korea.
YENNY: Koreans treat the relationship between FDs and among families importantly, but Americans fight for freedom and showing off their own charm. However, it’s easy to understand.

Q: Tell us your experience about the collaboration with AKON about the song ‘Like Money’?
SUN: What surprised us is that he pays so much time to prepare for the performance.
YENNY: I’ve heard that AKON will prepare much for showing off different sides of himself for different shows. For a singer like him, we learnt a lot.
LIM: We’ve always been AKON’s fans, so the first stage to perform ‘Like Money’ is the most unforgettable.
SOHEE: We’ve had a meal with him when we were performing in Korea. He loves Korean food!
YUBIN: It’s surprising to know that he enjoys different spicy foods. I’m happy to work with him.

Q: YENNY and YUBIN worked for the production of the mini-album ‘Wonder Party’: YENNY composed ‘R.E.A.L.’ and ‘Girlfriend’; YUBIN wrote lyrics for ‘Hey Boy’. What will you want to challenge in the future?
YENNY: I’m hoping to try musicals, dramas(She means the one in the theater). Being a radio DJ will be fine for me too.
LIM: I’m hoping to write a autobiography called ‘The growth of a girl’!
YUBIN: I’m hoping to continue writing lyrics, keep on rapping. It might be fun if I can try acting.

Q: Being a group for 5yrs, the most wonderful moment is…
SUN: I think it’s unforgettable for every moment. We’ve just celebrated our 5th anniversary and 2000th days after debut. At the moment, I think it’s thankful that I can celebrating that day with members.
YENNY: The happiest and nicest moment, of course, it was the moment with fans at the concert.
SOHEE: I personally think that the days in the US is the most fantastic one. It was hard though, we had many great moments.

Q: There must be moments when you have different opinions for you 5 girls, right? What’s your tip to communicate with others peacefully?
SUN: Of course there are moments like that. When we can’t figure out a opinion, we’ll discuss that whose is the best, whose should be adopted. The best way is to be honest to each other, forgive each other and respect each other. Fortunately, we know each other very well that we know everyone’s common target is to do our best.
LIM: We don’t really have ‘real’ fights, we’ll learn to forgive each other.
YENNY: The best way is to consider in each other’s way.
SOHEE: Another way is to have meals together! Our choices for food are the same!

Q: How do you feel holding a world tour after 3 years?
YUBIN: We can finally hold a concert in Singapore! We’re very excited cuz we’ve been there a few times for different events in the past. We all love Chilli crabs, we’ll eat every time when we are there. Talking about Singapore, I’ll think of Singapore Sling and peanut too, ha! Moreover, I’m hoping to swim on top of the Marina Bay Sands.

The formula of success:
40% – A tailor-made dance song
It’s not accidental to be successful. Their road has been planned in detail in advance.
JYP planned a musical trilogy for the Wonder Girls just as they’ve made their debut. The first album in 2007, ‘The Wonder Years’ contains styles of the 80s from its names and songs. Not to mention that JYP produced the album by himself but some other Korean producers like Shinhwa’s Cheung Chun Ho, Kwon Tae Eun helped to produce different dance songs.
The title song ‘Tell Me’ stays with JYP’s ‘She was pretty’s Pop Disco movement and lead the heat of dance songs in Korea.
Afterwards, the 2nd project in 2008, ‘So Hot’ lets the Wonder Girls to be ‘Korea’s Little Sisters’. The 3rd project ‘Nobody’ even attacked overseas like a atom bomb. The repeating melody goes in everyone’s mind and be so unforgettable.
This method ‘keep repeating’ keep on to be using: ‘Like this yo like this’ which has been repeated for n times(That means many many times) in the new song ‘Like This’. With no doubt, it once again lets everyone to be dropped in Wonder Girls’ music.

40% – Cute retro dance moves
Policemen, prisoners in the Philippines…Everyone around the world, despite of ages, gender, skin color, religions, was attracted by the ‘Nobody’ virus. Everyone couldn’t wait to imitate and upload to Youtube.
The dance moves had a important impact on the group and the song’s success. It’s simple yet entertaining, simply using your fingers to move. You’re fed up of it? It’s okay, the next song, ’2 Different Tears’ and ‘Be My Baby’, let you continue to dance.
The recently released, ‘Like This’ though isn’t retro, but its American electron hip hop melody with its fun dance moves let people wants to stand up and dance.

20% – International influence
The song ‘Nobody’ ranked 76 on Billboard Hot 100 when they first reached the America. Billboard.com picked them as one of ’21 under 21′ (21 great people who are under 21) too. It lets them to step to be world-recognized.
Even they’ve been silent for a while, the CB song ‘Be My Baby’ MV views reached World’s 1st within 9days after its release. The song ‘Like Money’ gets major American websites’ critics’ nice reviews. These 5 girls are still fighting so hard to maintain their position of World singers.

Asian Invasion [FAN-FICTION,SHORTSTORY]

June 23, 2012 in kennykulu

After publishing the teaser on 6JUNE and I’m finally here to publish the whole story! I know it has been 2weeks…I’m soooo sorry as I was having exams and I need time to polish it a bit more…So yeah.

Anyways, it’s finally here!:D

[Background] As you might feel familiar with the content of it ‘cuz the story line is actually based on the TV movie ‘The Wonder Girls’. Some details are added and some are changed. Hope you’ll find it interesting to read and enjoy!:D

—————————————————————————-

The sun brightly shined New York City in this peaceful morning. In this hectic city, the crowd is busy ‘Facebooking’ or ‘Tweeting’ with their smart phones on their way back to school or work for staying tune with the latest news. No exception for these 5 young Korean girls, they were uploading every shot of this gorgeous city on their way to the Apollo Theater.

The girl with blonde hair, Yenny, tied a pony tail while the full bangs was highlighted in light brown. The blue dotted blouse was matched with that pair of white shorts. She was busy eating that little bowl of ‘Kimchi’ which she bought on the way. She doesn’t care about her image and keep eating even she was actually on a train. It made up a contrast with the girl beside. She is Sun, who was in her causal look as she was simply wearing a long black dress with a denim coat for interspersion, simply sitting there chatting with his boyfriend, James.

Sohee, who was sitting besides Sun, couldn’t hide her sense of fashion at all. Her plain white T-shirt may seems boring, but the pair of sharp pink hot pants makes her the attention of the group. Yubin was just wearing a black short tube-top short dress and also a pair of golden high-cut trainers. Even though her outfit might be a bit monotonous, nothing special, she captures the public’s eyes by a wave of red hair. She seems to be the most attractive one. That looks extra eye-catching with a breeze. Sitting besides Yubin, Lim might had been being underrated, but don’t worry, her cuteness won’t be covered. That light sky-blue short mini-skirt shows off her young side with that pair of colorful sneakers. Yubin and Lim were practicing rapping while Sohee was listening to the song, ‘Monster’.

‘Whoa~ How beautiful it is!’ Lim exclaimed. ‘It has been about 100 years since it first opened to the public! It’s such a historic building!’ Sun explained, as she’s always the one who did research before. ‘Hey girls! Can you recognize this painting? It looks familiar…’ Yubin looked confused with that piece of work on the wall. ‘That’s ‘The Weeping Woman’ by Picasso!’ Sohee seems interested in Picasso’s works. ‘It’s the first time I can look into it in detail…’ Yenny was focusing on a poster on the other side while the others girls were exclaiming about the art works in the Theater.

‘Are you guys ready?’ She shouted loudly in a sudden. Others were surprised by her action. ‘This is an audition held by the famous entertainment company, JYPE! Don’t we all dream to be world-known singers? What if we won?’ Yenny asked her fellow girls with excitement. ‘But… we’re still students in the exchange program…’ Besides being the information-provider, Sun is also the most mature girl among all. ‘Why couldn’t we join for gaining experiences? That could be a memorable moment in this trip!’ Sohee looked extra energetic on this topic. Playful Yubin agreed to participate in it while the youngest, Lim, followed as she believes in their decision. Since it could be aimed as broadening their horizons, Sun has no reasons for opposing the decision. Because of their identities, they named themselves ‘Asian Invasion’. With the help from Lim’s boyfriend, Kennykulu, the 5 girls got a catchy song ‘Tell Me’. This is a cute song with a retro style hidden in it. Because of the remarkable dancing skills, Yubin became the chorographer of the song.

After practicing for two weeks, it came the time to perform on the real stage in the Theater.

‘The upcoming 5 young ladies come from Korea! They seem like coming here to beat up our beloved “School Gyrls” with their courage! Let’s give them a big hand!’ Welcomed by the MC of tonight’s show. ‘Asian Invasion’ entered the stage with nervousness, but once the music stated, they seem refilled with energy. They started off confidently by dancing in a breathtaking way while wearing colorful yet causal outfits. With the help of the repeating chorus, they received screams and shouts from the audience. The special dance break by Yubin at the end even boosted the atmosphere to the highest spot. The screams and shouts they received seems breaking the whole theatre.

‘Yubin, you’re truly the “Dancing queen”! That part of Hip Hop solo drives the listeners crazy!’ Complemented by Yenny. ‘Thanks, haha. Let’s bring a better performance for them next time!’ Yubin replied. ‘Fo shizzle!’ The other girls answered.

Afterwards, American surfed the ‘Tell Me’ wave as everyone was amazed by these 5 Asian girls. The song could be heard at every single corner in the city, despite the ages of the listener. No matter he or she is a little boy, a youngster, a mum of 3 or even a middle-ager who worked in a bar, it was well-known.

After another two week long practice, ‘Asian Invasion’ once again brought Kennykulu’s new song for their performance. For a continuation of the adorable style, the girls performed the song ‘Be My Baby’ for this time’s performance. ‘Please Be My Baby~ Please Be My Baby~ No I don’t wanna wonder anymore boy~ I gotta here say the words say the words~ Whoo~’ Yenny melted the audience by her likeable voice along with the ‘baby-holding’ dance move. No doubt, that was definitely Yubin, the choreographer’s idea. It brought the song into another level that the viewers could follow the moves easily. The city is flooded with ‘baby-holding’ dance move this time after the wave of ‘Tell Me’.

Thank to the huge success of ‘Be My Baby’, ‘Asian Invasion’ has won a seat for the finals. They got a month time for resting as well as practicing for the last round.

As for the celebration of their remarkable result, they entered to a club for fun. To their unluckiness, they met their competitor in the audition, the ‘School Gyrls’. ‘Uh ha, you’re the “Asian Invasion’ right? Please be my baby~ So you’re begging the boy to love you? ha That’s just humorous,’ teased the leader of that girl group, Jessie. ‘Please respect others. We’re completing fairly.’ Sun replied with manner. ‘We’re respecting you, aren’t we?’ That impolite girl mocked. ‘As this is our territory, we won’t allow any others to destroy it. Watch your steps, little kids!’ ‘What!?’ Lim wanted to talk back as her saw her dear sister, Sun, being annoyed rudely, but her anger was held back by Sohee and Kennykulu. ‘This kind of people doesn’t deserve your anger. We don’t even need to care about them,’ kennykulu whispered to her with a smile. Lim showed back a smile and pulled them all aside of the dancing pool to enjoy.

‘Cuz the DJ is mine~ And girl you’re wasting your time~ He only rocks to my music~ He loves the way I do it all night~ The DJ is mine!’ No sooner has the song ‘The DJ Is Mine’ started than the School Gyrls entered the pool to dance to it. Their smooth moves impressed the girls, but on the other hand, it boosted their morale to perform a more well-prepared stage for the final.

At the moment, Yenny seemed thinking deeply of something. ‘Hey Kennykulu! Could you please tell me how to compose songs? Or may you offer some help for me on it?’ Yenny’s sudden action gave Kennykulu a shock. ‘Of course, but why are you interested in it?’ The boy was curious about Yenny’s sudden request. ‘I got inspired by the feeling hanging out here. It would be great to compose an upbeat song for tonight.’ Yenny answered. ‘Oh I see. Shall we start now then?’ Kennykulu asked. ‘Fo shizzle!’ Yenny’s expression at that moment was like a kid getting a sweet.

With Kennykulu’s help, Yenny finished composing the song quickly. Sun was in charge of the lyrics while Lim wrote the lyrics of the rap. Sohee, the fashionlist, went to a boutique for picking clothes for the performance of this song. The choreography, for sure, was managed by the dancing queen.

‘Here it comes the final! Are you excited about it?’ The audience replied the MC with l0ud chants. ‘Alright! Let’s welcome the “Asian Invasion”!’ The girls went on stage in a sea of support in captivating outfits. Sun attracted people’s eyes at first by her new fresh short hair cut. She expressed a more powerful look with the new hair style along with an outlook in dark red. Sohee was confirmed as the most stylish one in a tarot-patterned one piece which is hard to carry on. Though Yubin and Lim were both wearing black dresses, they show off their charm in opposing ways. Lim looked more mature this time while Yubin looked superb when it matches with her red-colored hair. By changing into an innovative all-back hairstyle, a different kind of charm was added on Yenny. The checked blue short dress which matches with a pair of words-patterned leggings in the color of pearl burgundy looks fabulous on her.

‘G! N! O! Girls Night Out~ We gonna Burn this house tonight~ Cuz we just came to dance~ We dance~ We dance like there was nobody there~ We dance~ Let’s dance~’ The girls turned the theater into a night club by the song ‘G.N.O.’. Without any sexy moves, but with interactive communication with the audience, they make the theater even hotter. ‘Come On!’ The audience followed the dance moves along with the mood-maker Sun’s shout. They were like dancing and enjoying in a club just like what they did a few days before.

‘Thank you “Asian Invasion” for their incredible performance! Here it comes the School Gyrls coming back with a new song ‘So Hot’!’ They started off with sexy dance moves. ‘I’m so hot! I can’t hide it but~ I’m so fine! I just can’t help it baby~ I’m so cool! Somebody help me~ I’m so so so hot hot!’ Though it seems attractive in School Gyrls’ eyes, but not in the audience’s eyes. The girls are seemed as showing off their bodies in disgusting outfits. That turned the audience off. The audience wasn’t selfish to pour out their catcalls towards the girls. At the end, the girls went off the stage with pissed-off expressions.

In this situation, no doubt, ‘Asian Invasion’ won the Champion and got a chance to become trainees in JYPE. However, an unexpected speech came out from Sun’s mouth. ‘I’m sorry, but we’re actually students from Korea coming here for an exchange program.’ The fact disappointed everyone in the theater. ‘Thank you for giving us such unforgettable memories and precious experiences. Sorry that we didn’t live up to your expectations. We aren’t pleased to do so but we do have to leave now. Thank you once again for keep supporting us.’ The girls bowed 90-dregeed to express their regret and gratefulness. Hardly had they went back backstage when a staff of JYPE came out to announce. ‘Actually we’ve contacted you all’s parents and also your school principle, none of them gave a stop to your road towards our company. It’s actually our honor to have such skillful young ladies joining our company.’ He bowed to the girls as they bowed back with tears.

After two weeks of reunion with their families in Korea, the girls came back to the States again to start off their life of training in JYPE. ‘It still feels like a dream that we’re here to be trainees!’ Sohee was moved. ‘Yeah… I can’t believe what we’re doing right now!’ Lim holds the manager, Kennykulu’s hand more tightly. ‘But that’s the power of dreams, isn’t it?’ Yenny smiled widely towards the girls. ‘Yup!’ They answered unanimously and loudly. ‘ … It’s our first day to be trained in JYPE. Everything seems new to us, we’re still like babies who are exploring the world. We have been studying aimlessly for years, but now we’re here in the America working for our dreams! It just happened! Just like what Yenny said, it’s the power of dreams right? Fighting!’ Sun prayed for the group after writing the dairy.

After years of trainees’ lives, the 5 girls got the opportunity to make a debut. They’re not ‘Asian Invasion’ anymore, but the ‘Wonder Girls’ who comes and spreads the Wonder! Sun becomes the leader of the group to lead the girls while Yenny is still the food queen. Of course, Yenny does have a role to play, that’s main vocal. Sohee becomes the vice vocal with her soft voice. About Lim and Yubin, they’re both rappers who are also in charge of the choreography. They’re coming back with a brand new mini-album ‘Wonder Party’! Go and enjoy with them!

Dreams, where your career starts, where your life starts. Everything starts with dreams, believe in it, and pursue for it, it will soon be fulfilled. Grab every single chance in your life which may link you to your dream. No one knows, you might be successful soon!

Personal Opinion about the Official Announcement from JYPE

May 12, 2012 in kennykulu

As the Wonder Girls’ following plan was revealed by the official announcement from JYPE, different opinion about the plans are expressed on Twitter, Facebook, Fantastic, etc. I’m here to write this ‘review’ to show mine.

First of all, in case you don’t know, here’s a brief description about the announcement. (The full one can be linked here)

1. Japanese Debut
JYPE emphasizes that Japan is a essential market in Asia, that’s why they’re interested in it. The members have expressed their intention for entering the Japanese market, too. After discussing with the Japanese record label, they all think that ‘Nobody’ is the most suitable song to be chosen for the title song in the debut EP.

2. Korean Comeback
The new album is ready for releasing in early June. (As a Korean Music Website stated, their CB will be scheduled on 7th June.) They informed that it would be a captivating one with new styles.

3. US activities
They have no exact plans for the US activities, but still in discussion. Their goal is to start implementing U.S. activities as soon as the plans for the TV-related project are finalized.
(Actually JYP has once said that they’ll release the US album before the domestic CB, it seems like it has be swapped already.)

I would like to address different plans one by one.

About the Japanese single, Wonderfuls everywhere are complaining about it, but couldn’t we take a deep look before complaining? It has been for their 5th year since debut, they’ve entered the Chinese, the US market, the East South Asian market, but how about the Japanese one? That’s absolutely a huge market among Asia. Why can’t the girls enter it? Besides, have you guys ever thought of Japanese Wonderfuls’ feeling? There are quite a large amount of them actually. (To clarify, I’m not Japanese but a Chinese) The girls have got only one performance in Japan, and that’s even the JYP Nation Concert, but not solo Concert or other solo performance. Furthermore, Japanese are known for can’t speak English well. To me, it won’t go too far that records a Japanese song for them.

I know some Wonderfuls are complaining that they’ve chosen to make a debut instead of releasing the US album ASAP. Honestly, I was disappointed with it too. The girls have actually finished working on the US album for a while. The TV movie, the OST ‘The DJ Is Mine’ was published for about 3 months already but further promotion is not planned or scheduled. That’s truly not a good plan, but I don’t think it’s a point to disagree with the Japanese debut. The only problem about the debut is just timing, and nothing else.

About the Korean CB, I would like to look forward to it. As some unofficial source stated, it would be a mini-album this time. That seems to be a remarkable one as new concept is included. The girls never disappoint us, right? Besides, it’s scheduled in early June, just like ‘So Hot’ back in 2008. Honestly, I would like the concept be like ‘So Hot’, that seems to be nice~ What’s more is that they’re coming back once again it in only 6 months. From other groups’ experience we can see, making CB stage again in a short time or having follow-up track can make them popular.

miss A comes back with the song ‘Touch’ this February after releasing the 1st album last July. They’ve gained a good response from the public. For T-ara, they’ve been promoting the songs ‘Roly Poly’, ‘Cry Cry’and ‘Lovey Dovey’ constantly since last July until this February. Thanks to the attractive songs, they’ve climbed to a higher position in the domestic market. They’re planning to hold concerts in Japan as well as Korea soon. And other must-mention group is Sistar. They’ve released the 1st album ‘So Cool’ last August while the mini-album ‘Alone’ was release last April. Their effort paid can be seen on various charts. ‘Alone’ brings Sistar #1 on charts along with public’s love and interest. (Of course the concept of the song counts)

From the analysis show above, we could briefly say that CB in a short time could brings the artist in a higher position. Hope the girls’ new Korean album will be a ‘Daebak’!

The last but not least, it’s the US album. Honestly, I’m DISAPPOINTED with JYPE too. They’ve actually finished making it a while ago, but why didn’t they release it ASAP? I’m looking forward to the Japanese debut as well as the Korean album, but I would say that I anticipate in the US one the most. Preparing for the K-CB and J-debut after publishing the US album won’t be a big problem right? Anyways, we could only accept the plan JYPE made.

No matter what’s the plan for the girls, I’ll always be there to support and love them. (: I’m sure that every Wonderful have the same belief right?
Thanks for reading this post, feel free to leave a comment for me!

// I’m sorry that I’m not updating my blog that often. I’m truly bust with my academic work. A new article will be published soon. About WGGM, I’m sorry to tell you that I have no plan for it. The following year will be a hectic and important for me, I might not be able to write posts… Sorry! \\

Wonder Girls Got Married!–ANNOUNCEMENT about ‘HeeOng’ Couple

January 26, 2012 in kennykulu

As you all know, the ‘HeeOng’ (Sohee @WG, Seulong @2AM) couple is involved in a breaking news stating that they are dating, but it’s confirmed that THEY ARE NOT.
Here’s a news reporting the fact.
http://www.allkpop.com/2012/01/jyp-denies-reports-that-wonder-girls-sohee-and-2ams-seulong-are-dating
Though there were photos showing that Sohee and Seulong went on a date and had dinner together, but it’s confirmed that they’re just bro-sis relationship. I have published several fans-fiction story episodes last year for fun (aka WGGM-HeeOng Couple). Believe it or not, I chose them randomly, nothing related to those photos. Though I have stopped publishing since October last year, but the views of the articles rises up again these days because of the issue. In case I don’t want any others to misunderstand the articles, WGGM-HeeOng Couple will officially ends. I won’t delete the posts or stop you guys to read or spread it. If you want to share it, please be noted that the articles are just fans-fiction but nothing related to neither Sohee nor Seulong. Please continue to support and love the idols.
I may start another new couple soon if there’s still anyone who loves WGGM. In case I do so, please support and love it as well. Thanks for all your support and love.
Thanks for reading this announcement too. Spread it if you found anyone who misunderstood my fans-fiction. Stop spreading the rumors too.

Lyrics here:

[Yenny]
He is mine Im the only thing on his mind
He thinks about me all the time

Nobody treats him like I do Theres no party Im not in the booth

cr : 미미와콩나물@WGW

OMG. I don’t know what to say. The girls are just WONDERFUL. XD

Ok, this blog post is actually a review on the wonder girls’ new US single, the DJ is mine. Let’s start with some background info first. Actually I was a bit shocked when I got the info that they’ll release a new US single in a short time. But of course I was excited about it.

When I first saw the MV, my feeling was ‘WOW! They’re gorgeous!’ There was a strong feeling in my mind that the girls are now the real World Singer but not only a Korean girl group. They are already performing in the ‘world stage’ but not only Korea, or US, or a specific place. They did a great job, they had worded so hard.

It’s time for the outfit. I love the concept, outfits in the song, really. I love how they include CDs in the outfits to suit the concept! For Sun, she shows even more confidence in that blue outfit. With the 2 CDs on her shoulder, she looks strong to lead the girls to ‘beat’ the School gyrls. No matter it’s pink or purple, it suits on Lim. It shows her girlish side. For Yenny, she looks cool on that light green, she could even stand out in the MV. Though it’s not so special to wear black, but Sohee shows how to look good on it. With a bit gold pattern on it, it wont be that boring or simple. Yubin, the last but not least, as you can see, she’s showing her abs confidently. And because of it, Yubin grabs much attention from the public. She looks even sexier in the color red.

Of course I have to talk about the song. They tried a new idea on this new single. They’ve thrown away their cute side, but release this song in a sexy way. It seems like Kpop loves clubs these days. Somehow I saw so many clubs in music videos from different artists or groups, but the wonder girls really show it in their own way. Maybe there are antis saying they can’t understand the English lyrics, but from my view, they sound good. I could understand most of the words before I read the lyrics. It’s also a attractive piece, you’ll get attracted by the powerful lyrics and the melody. Since I’m just a listener, but not someone who plays music, I can’t give out that much opinion on the song. They’re just my personal feelings above.

As it’s the OST of ‘The Wonder Girls’ (Their upcoming TV movie), the MV shows some scenes of the movie of course. It seems like the 10 girls are having a competition, they even want to compete for the handsome DJ. From what I know, Yenny owns the DJ at last, they even got a kiss scene … *jealous* Ok, let’s wait for the movie and the regular US album to come out. It’s gonna be something big, something shocking wonderful.

Oh, gonna recommend some wonderful shots in the MV~

0:07 Yenny’s strong words, HE IS MINE.

0:17 JYP’s appearance! JYP is really a nice boss. Though he could only finish his work behind the scene, but he supports the girls by featuring in the MV! Really admire him.

2:43 WHAT!? The School gyrls dare to challenge our queen Yenny!?

2:44 It’s time for Yubin to lead the girls!

3:06-3:08 Yenny’s priceless acting!!

3:13 Who could own the DJ!?

3:18 Holding hands… *jealous XD*

3:20 Sun is leading her Wonder Girls!
I have to admit that I nearly captured every moment in the MV! XD

And here’s some more photos of the girls behind the scene, at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).


The guy in the middle is the director Ethan!


The 2 guys here are their stylists Johnny and Peter!

Besides, here’s some posts on allkpop about the girls~

Review on SBS, KBS, MBC Gayo Daejaejun

January 4, 2012 in kennykulu

Wow! It’s 2012 now! First of all, I have to say sorry to the Wonder Girls and you guys. I’m busy at school, I don’t even have time to visit Fantastic, so I posted nothing during this period. SORRY.

What am I going to talk about today? As you can see, a review. 2011 is the first year that I can watch the 3 big shows online. Honestly, I was excited about it.

Ok, here’s my review. I’m not good at writing articles so it might be a bit short and pointless…

Let’s start with SBS’s performance first.

Though I’ve heard something about the stage before the real one, but I was still surprised when they performed this ‘sexy version’ of BMB. It reminds me their performance on 2010MAMA.

Both performances are really really great. I love how they put in the high notes. Love the performance so much.

Here it comes the song ‘Talented Love’, a special stage with CNBLUE.

I was shocked when I saw Yubin at first, because I was noted that WG wont have any special stage in SBS. But still, honestly, it’s not as good as I thought. Younghwa looks awkward with the girls, I don’t know why, but that’s my feeling towards the whole performance. It’s still a good try to put the girls and CNBLUE together though.

It’s time for KBS.

I was disappointed when they perform as usual after the special intro. Actually the dance break gave me a surprise. I really love the dance break and the remix, it suits the original concept well, a fun one. They still handled it well, singing quite while dancing and jumping.

As you may have heard of the issue below.

It’s really a touching moment. That’s why the girl is called angel. That’s why she’s the leader. (:

And they performed a cover song, ‘I Don’t Know’. (:

The last but not the least, MBC.

They had a WonderPM special stage at first~

That’s an EPIC stage! Nichkhun dares to hold Sohee’s hand!! Another epic moment will be Nichkhun carrying Sohee in his arms!!

It’s fun stage with a lot KhunHee moment~kkk

btw. Actually if you look carefully at TaecBin, you’ll see they’re enjoying in their
little world! haha

Finally it comes Me,In! Actually it was called as their 2nd title song at first, but maybe that’s just a rumor and got forgotten. I was totally excited about the stage because it’s what we had waited for a long time.

I can really see the ‘fire’ from the girls’ eyes. They got the souls on stage(especially Yenny), that’s why it’s a wonderful stage. However, there’s some silly mistakes made by MBC, 0:53 Sunye’s microphone problem as well as the poor cameraman. [Actually the poor cameraman appeared at WonderPM’s stage too. We can only watch Fancams for the missing moments:( ]

Though there will be no MV for Me,In, but a stage like this is alright, because the girls had owned the stage!

That’s it for my review on their stages.

Here’s a bonus performance I wanna share.

Though they’re simply performing BMB, Tell Me and Nobody as they used to, they’re in purple outfit! This must be my favourite outfit among all. They look so good on it, and the color represents them~ kkk

Ok. That’s all for this blog post.

When will I post another new one? Hmm… I may got a bit time to write a new one
later~ There may be some special blog post soon! Please look forward to it! kkk

Thanks for reading my post (:

btw. Happy 2012! (:

27 Oct, a meaningful day to me.

October 27, 2011 in kennykulu

This post is about a 16-year-old boy, not much contents abt WG. Read it if you like.

Who is the boy? That me. It’s my birthday today. I just wanna share sth abt myself to u guys. (: Actually I have test tomorrow, but I still wanna spend some time and share it.

Let start with some photos~

The Chinese words- 十月二十七日 means 27oct~ kkk

[Captured from the news xD]

I’ve never thought I could own a album of WG. To be honest, I’ve never thought of buying a album of them. I won’t love a artist/group that much/long. I change my mind easily, so I’m not thinking of buying one. I got this from a friend this morning, I was surprised that she bought sth abt WG for me. I don’t know whether I’ll buy any WG’s album in the future. I can’t promise WG to love them forever, but I’ll try my best to give them as much love as I can.

This is a BIGBANG file, I got it last year. [If u can see it clearly, u can see Japanese words on it~kkk]
I know BIGBANG because of WonderBang‘s performances actually~kkk Actually I still love and support them now, they’re still talanted boys even though they may now suffering from some different issues. I’ll still support them ‘cuz they really do their best on the stage. *If I have time later, I’ll talk abt them more xD!*

Those are the photos inside the file~ BIGBANG‘s and WG‘s photos~kkk

—————————-

The BB file and the photos inside really bring me back the old memories, it has been a year already. I don’t know whether I will recive WG’s album/any thing abt WG next year, but I definitely hope so. I want my love towards WG will be forever.

I have a friend that has loved w-inds. for 7 years! (w-inds. is a japanese boy group) It’s w-inds.’ 10 anniversary this year already! My friend loves them for 7 years! Can I do so too? Can I ‘stick with them’ even they’ve become Wonder Women!? kkk I definitely hope so~(:

That’s all for my ‘sharing’, hope it’s not a boring post (:
Hope all the short form of words won’t be annoying for reading(:

[Response on Comments] Girls’ Generation is back with THE BOYS.

October 24, 2011 in kennykulu

After posting the article ‘Girls’ Generation is back with THE BOYS.’, I got comments from you guys on different views. I’m going to reply those comments or views. It’s not aimed of anyone there, I’m just disagree with your point.
[Some background info about the post] The post was released on 21st Oct, which is SNSD’s first comeback stage broadcasted. After watching their first comeback stage in a year, I wrote that article and posted it immediately. Music videos and performances clips were included.
Even though ‘review’ the word didn’t ‘appear’ in my article, but it’s still a kind of that. I don’t think posting a review on other groups’ songs in Fantastic is something not allowed. Fantastic isn’t a forum only for talking about WG, but a site for Wonderfuls ‘gather’ together to chat. I can’t see the point of banning talking about other groups. I’ve read other author’s article about other groups here, for example, kazaf10’s posts.

A review on 2NE1’s new single: http://wondergirlsworld.com/fantastic/blog/969/

A review on miss A’s album ‘A Class’: http://wondergirlsworld.com/fantastic/blog/900/

No one blame him at all. That’s my problem or a problem of talking about SNSD!? Even though SNSD is WG’s opponent, competitor, we still need to respect them. Maybe there are some Sones who always blame/criticize us, WFs, or even the Wonder Girls. I do believe there are some good ones. Even you hate them, you still need to respect them as a artist.
I know SNSD is always a sensitive issue in among Wonderfuls, but it’s not a reason for avoid talking about them. I’m not here promoting their songs, I’m just expressing my views, comments towards their new song. Please respect me as a author here too. That’s what I wanna say. Leave me a comment no matter you support or dislike my views. I’m willing to here the negative comments too.

 

[ After writing this article, I went back to the original post to read comments. I'm totally disappointed with a Wonderful who even said 'WT*' in her comment. Maybe she should be called a Wonderful. Do wonderful use such foul language!? And she's saying that to me and to SNSD in front of Wonder Girls. I can't treat her as a Wonderful, because it's totally unacceptable. Wonderfuls are mannerfuls, right? ]
