More?

I like Park ShiYeon, shes sweet & is a decent actress, but sister needs to realise that Plastic Surgery’s like smoking, it can become an insane addiction.

I wanted to watch KBSs’ “Mans Story/Slingshot” but I kept getting distracted by her schnozz. Please don’t become a human Mr.Potato-head ShiYeon.

Now this is just getting plain ridiculous!
Seems like either these celebs are looking for grabbing the other sibling to the industry. Any ways, they possibly can or these Netizens are bored out of their mind!

Yet again another story ….
This time Park Si-Yeon (박시연) posted some picture of her self with her sister on her Cyworld mini-hompage .. and now bored Netizens are commenting how these two sisters look similar and that they resemble each other closely .. and last but defiantly not least how the good gene runs in the family and even come as far as calling them “Gorgeous”!

Seriously, who thinks that sister is pretty or even sane for that matter?
For one thing, I never even thought her sister (Si Yeon) was any where on the good looking league to begin with~! Having in mind her super low self confidence with that nose of her she changes every season! Pfew!

Now think about it … if these bored Netizens had some “worthy”(?) news to get them busy .. say maybe the actual sex-tape of Ivy! (We are still rubbing our eyes to see a news on that sex-tape! Damn it!) None of these Bro-Sista pictures would find their way into the FIRST PAGES of Entertainment News!

[DAMMIT ALL! BoA was gonna perform in Korea AGAIN! FUKC FUKC FUKC!!!!!]
Despite the rainy weather around Asia, the MKMF awards still continued.

Ahem, anyway. Let’s get to the point. By now, if you’re a big Korean Entertainment fan and is with it in all the latest news, you probably know about all the shock and rage from the fan(girls) whose idols did not win. Before I continue, see for yourself what the award show was like with the >>Compiled MKMF videos<< I compiled.

Well, let’s start with the DBSK fans. DBSK and BoA were stuck in Japan and could not make it to the award ceremony and perform. Poor fans! But what angered them the most is that DBSK didn’t win anything this year, quite a shocker yes (well to the fangirls at least)? Sources say that maybe it really wasn’t the weather’s fault… but more like the boys being too tired from a performance they did on the same day. If they had flied to Korea right after, it would have been too late for preparations. Lucky for them that the weather just happened to be bad so they could make an excuse not to come!
The weather was not so bad in Japan, but it was in Korea (or so they say…). Supposedly bad enough that flights to Korea were canceled, or that it was too dangerous for celebs like BoA and DBSK to be taking.
Can’t blame this one on BoA though, for her performances were done in the 16th and not on the same day. DBSK needs a better schedule manger. Their fangroup, Cassiopeia, fought with the guard because they didn’t come! M.net said that there was not a ‘board post’ that ensure DBSK for attend the event, so DBSK’s fans don’t have to make a big drama for this. Mr. SM on the other hand said, “Today on MKMF are invited some of our artists like Super Junior, CSJH and SNSD” so the absence of TVXQ wont cause a lot of controversy.”

After seeing the performance list, Tablo and BoRa were not included in the ANYBAND performance. Which was quite odd seeing as Epik High was there for Tablo to be able to participate. Here’s the set list of what it should have been:
Min Hyori + Jung Inwoo – Award presenters
Shin Dongyap + Lee Dahae – Emcees
Lee Yunjung – Designer
Park Jinyoung + Wonder Girls – Combined Dance Performance
Seo Nyeo Shi Dae + Wonder Girls + Black Pearl + Kara – Combined Dance Performance
Gackt (Japanese rock artist)
Zhen Yuan Chang (Taiwan artist)
TVXQ
Super Junior
BoA
Big Bang
Cheon Sang Ji Hee
Epik High
Seo Inyoung
Cheo Shinsung (Supernova)
Lee Minwoo
ANYBAND – BoA + Xiah Junsu – Performance
Younha
Fly to the Sky

Now, it’s my favorite time… the rant. Yes, and after you read this, you can share with me all your thoughts.

I’ll start off with the good, since there were people who deserved it. To make it easier for you, I shortened my reasons (ya’ll know how much I like to write ) Who’s on the list:
SG Wannabe – Come on. These boys? What group can compete with such ballad vocal? No competition there.
Epik High (for Hip Hop artists) – With awesome writing skillz and flow, it’s no disappointment here(I only say that because FreeStyle didn’t come out with anything)
Clazziquai – Can anyone really compete with them this year? They’re so damn catchy. Humming Urban Stereo would have been a close call though.
(Definitely ma girl) Younha – Come on, piano skillz? Vocal skillz? Writing skillz? Even language skillz? And now dancing skills: >>1<< >>2<<
Wodner Girls (best new female) – But then again, it could have been anyone like KARA or SNSD really. Black Pearl – no, Baby Vox Rev – no.
SeeYa – What other group out there that isn’t new deserves this?
Big Bang (for best male group and song of the year) – There’s no doubt about it. They were all over the media this year. I think they even deserved other awards…

So you’ve heard how SuJu was supposed to win the award that BIG BANG won, and the award that SuJu won was an award that someone else won. And now news has hit that there was a mistake, etc etc. Honestly, why is SuJu mad? Because they won an award they didn’t deserve and didn’t get the one that they paid for? This is the exact reason why Minwoo and Shin Hye stepped out of MKMF, they knew it as rigged! MKMF awarded those who had great achievement lately, not the whole year. If they did award for achievement through out the year, it would have been KARA’s award that Wonder Girl’s got. And where’s Fly to the Sky? Don’t tell me they don’t deserve something. Kim Ji Eun? As a new artist, she’s been blowing people away!
Which brings me back to my first topic. Bad weather? Of course not! They knew this was going to be a joke of an award show! If the weather was so bad in Seoul, BoA and the boys could have took a flight to another airport in Korea and drove there!
Now, you may be asking yourself, “If it’s rigged, then why do they even bother to make poles?” Well the more interactive shows like these are, the more people will watch to see if their idols won.

And Super Junior as ‘ARTISTS OF THE YEAR’ ARTIST?! Dose anyone KNOW what an artist is?! FOR THE LOVE OF YO MAMA, artists are not a bunch of boys who sing with no over the top talent! Tell me, ANYONE, especially you crazy fangirls, EXACTLY what is their talent? What is it that they contribute to the ART of music? To the ART of dancing?! For heaven’s sake, even their hair isn’t a work of art! Their fashion is far from it as they all dress alike! And their faces look like abstract to me! Gah, I am furious. It’s bad enough that they took home a bunch of a awards, but it angers me that they got ARTIST of the year! If BIG BANG won this, but lost ‘MALE GROUP OF THE YEAR’, I would have been fine. I probably would have still preferred BIG BANG for both, but at least I know that a group deserved something for their art for G-Dragon actually wrote the song that got them the attention they so deserved.
Only awards SuJu deserved were the ‘AUCTION NETIZEN POPULARITY’ and ‘MOBILE POPULARITY’ awards. Why? Because there are so many freaking fans on the internet and mobile, that’s why. Plus, remember how many ’supporting’ fans SuJu had when they boycotted Henry joining? (Oh~ the love~ *eye roll*) End of statement, that’s a fact.

That being said, here’s my list of those who are undeserved:
SuJu – ‘Artists’ my ass.
IVY – No, not because of her so called “sex scandal” (it ain’t a scandal till there’s proof. So show me the goods already!) but because I don’t see her as talent. Kim Ji Eun or Lee Jung Hee totally deserved it.
Shinhwa – OKAY fucking seriously. Not because I’m a BoA fan, but WHERE in the hell is Shinhwa bigger than BoA overseas? More people know BoAin the U.S., her career is bigger in Japan (it IS the biggest Korean career in Japan), and China knows her as well. Let’s not forget the South Asians who praise her too! I think maybe even RAIN (as much as I hate him) might have deserved this!

To quote someone else, “BEST ARTIST AS IN ARTIST THAT “SINGS” BEST?
SUPER JUNIOR CAN’T EVEN SING. LOLS. THAT’S THE FACT.
THIS IS WAY OVERATED. MNET HAS ITS SENSE OF HUMOUR AS ALWAYS.” – Anonymous
_______________________________________
Anyway, enough with that; let’s get to the fun part!
Before the award ceremony, all I would read about in the girl group forums (forums for KARA, SNSD, and Wonder Girls) were voting for the DANCE BATTLE. Being that I’m a fan of the three of them, I couldn’t choose!

My exact thoughts while watching this (I took out the drooling comments ;]):
Uhhh how exactly did BLACK PEARL even get a part when hey didn’t dance?
And SNSD had the same dance from their video… KARA actually used a NEW dance and performed a remix… Wonder Girls came out in gun and interactive way, really confident too.
Competition was definitely between KARA and WG. All the songs were great though. And the Individual dances were good! Nicole danced for KARA, SunYe danced for Wonder Girls, Mika danced for BLACK PEARL, and prodigy HyoYun danced for SNSD/SuShi. Dizzam, you saw how everyone got up for HyoYun? XD
Mika chick messed up in the beginning of the last group dance (you have to watch closely)
Surprised that Sun Ye was the one that danced, and not Ye Eun or SooHee (whom by the way is looking a lot less…weird looking but more like really pretty).
But ‘Best dance’ award goes to CSJH? I mean, I know Stephanie is awesome, and all four of them are hot… but the bigger topics this year were KARA, Wonder girls, and SNSD…. As much as I wanted KARA to win, I really thought with Wonder Girl’s ‘Tell Me’ spreading like the black plague, that it would win!

In the end, the congratulations goes to WONDER GIRLS who took the prize for the dance battle. And I must say, this song from Black Pearl ain’t bad… the first song I heard from them was not my type at all… but I see their voices are really good. But good enough to be with SeeYa and Brown Eyed Girls?
_______________________________________
Trend of the night: FUR. Seriously, everyone and their mama was wearing fur! Even sexy Lee Da Hae wore it for her performance!

Who looked the hottest that night? Lee Da Hae, that’s who. Never mind that her version of I Love Rock and Roll was laughed over by some (I thought it was okay until the chorus…) but admit it. She was hot. Her outfit in yellow… >>was hot<<. Did I mention it was hot?
OH! But let’s not forget that she played the drums! And ya’ll know how much props I give on that.

Other stars of the night:
Nice to see Park Si Yun (from My Girl) in there and looking good and the leader of the Park team on XMAN (sorry, I forget her name!) was looking great as well. And man, Younha came in style! She was looking great AND someone was holding the umbrella for her (talk about pampered!). Unlike Wonder Girls, who had the wind and rain falling on them.
All in all, horrible show. No Se7en, no BoA, no DBSK, not even Hyori!? And Gackt didn’t even perform LAST SONG? —- Wait, why WAS >>Gackt<< there in the first place? XD Why not Angela Aki, Utada Hikaru, Ayumi Hamasaki, YUI or Kamiki Aya? Hell, Morning Musume was there, why not them? Was it because Gackt is such a sexy beast? If so, they should have asked The GazettE to come, since there’s five sexy beasts in there. All young too. Mhhm mhmm *nod nod*

Secret Sunshine Going For The Oscar

South Korea has selected Lee Chang-dong’s Secret Sunshine as its submission to the foreign language film category of the Academy Awards.

A special committee appointed by the Korean Film Council chose Secret Sunshine over Kim Ki-duk’s Breath and Kim Ji-hoon’s box office hit May 18.

Secret Sunshine premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May, where it won an actress award for Jeon Do-yeon as a young widow who moves from Seoul to start over in a provincial city. The film also stars Kang-ho Song.

South Korea has never had a film selected for inclusion in the final five nominations.

Okay ya’ll this is with proper translation *wink* This was my version!

Eric and Park Si Yeon, who has been the pronounced couple in the entertainment industry have broken up.

A close source of Park Si Yeon said, “Park Si Yeon and Eric have broken up about a month ago. Now, they have a good brother and sister relationship only.”

When Park Si Yeon performed in KBS 2TV “Wait for for flowers to bloom” and after she went to Thailand to shoot the poster, the two decided to break up. The reason for break up is because they have very different characters.

Eric and Park Si Yeon revealed their relationship in May 2005, and developed their relationship as the best couple in the entertainment industry. Both of them who had strong characters did not care about how others see them, and their happy faces on a natural date on the street received applause. When Park Si Yeon started her entertainment activities formally, break up rumours were everywhere, but both of them didn’t care about the news. Their strong love was admired by many. When Park Si Yeon was filming KBS 2TV “Waiting for flower to bloom”, she often talked with Eric through the phone, and this scene also brought a lot of admiration.

This source said, “Park Si Yeon seems to be very sad, but she keeps her sadness inside her heart”, and “Both of them hope that they can keep their sunbae hubae actor relationship and great friendship after breaking up”.

Also, Eric is filming MBC TV “Que Sera Sera”. Park Si Yeon is now choosing her next work. She also received the 43rd Baeksang Entertainment Daesang Movie Category Best Newcomer prize.

Once the entertainment industry’s best couple Eric and Park Si Yeon have a weird aurora surrounding them.

A person who is very close to Eric said, “Two to three months before, the relationship of both of them have already gone into a weird aurora”, “(Eric) is not the type to speak out his mind, and although it is hard to confirm, but it can be felt that the relationship was not as good as before”. And then he said, “The characters of both of them are too different, therefore it is probably because of this that they have a relationship danger”.

The related person said, “Don’t know since when, when the others around her asked about her relationship with Eric, (Park Si Yeon) started to talk very little about it.”After their relationship was announced in 2005, their open and free dates was admired by many. However, from the beginning of this year, their relationship has become uncommon, and recently they have broken up.

에릭-박시연, 한달 전 결별 “우정으로 남겠다“
[JES 이영준,이현] 연예계의 공인커플이었던 에릭과 박시연이 안타까운 이별을 맞았다. 박시연의 한 측근은 “한달 전쯤 박시연과 에릭이 이별했다. 좋은 오빠 동생 사이로 남기로 한 것 같다”고 전했다. 두 사람은 박시연이 KBS 2TV ‘꽃피는 봄이 오면’ 종방 후 태국으로 화보촬영을 갔다 온 후 결별에 합의했다는 것. 결별 이유는 성격 차이다. 에릭과 박시연은 2005년 5월께부터 연인 사이임을 공개하고 연예계의 대표 공인 커플로 사랑을 키워 왔다. 개성이 강한 두 사람은 남들의 시선을 의식하지 않고 자유롭게 길거리 데이트를 즐기는 모습으로 박수를 받았다. 특히 박시연이 본격적인 연예활동을 시작하면서 항간에 ‘결별설’이 불거졌지만. 두 사람은 이에 대해 의연한 대처를 보이며. 꿋꿋하게 사랑을 이어가 주위의 부러움을 샀다. 최근까지도 박시연이 KBS 2TV ‘꽃피는 봄이 오면’ 촬영장에서도 틈틈이 에릭과 전화통화를 하는 모습이 목격돼 주위를 시샘케 했던 바 있다. 이 측근은 “박시연이 무척 힘들어하는 것 같은데. 내색은 하지 않는다”며 “두 사람이 연기자 선후배로서 좋은 우정을 나누게 되길 바란다”고 밝혔다. 한편. 에릭은 현재 MBC TV 주말극 ‘케세라세라’에 출연 중이며. 박시연은 ‘꽃피는 봄이 오면’ 이후 차기작을 물색 중이다. 특히 박시연은 제43회 백상예술대상에서 영화부문 신인상을 거머쥐며 연기자로서 자리매김했다.

Yes people, the famous couple split … from what I understood out of this news
Forgive MY KOREAN *red face* all I can understand is the gist of it~
For those understand perfect Korean … feel free to read and understand the article and yet not share! *blue Face*
So basically it said that they split last month (?) but try to remain friends
Something like they agreed on separation after photographing that went on in Thailand (?) (I have no idea if I understood this part at all?! Why Thailand?)
They claimed the separation has different reasons.
And then something about how they started to make it public since May 2005
And then later says that Park Shi Yeon clearly shows that she is having a hard time!!
and this might be the answer for those who wondered why she showed up alone at the Paeksang red carpet which our friends in PopSeoul covered!
