V.O.S, "Voice of Soul" is a R&B group that made up of members Choi Hyun-joon, Park Ji-hun, and Kim Kyung-rok. The group debuted in 2004 under record company, Star Empire Entertainment. Before their actual debut, the threesome had spent alot of time together which results them to have such a good bonding and teamwork. Their solid vocals were certainly enough to move your soul.

Although V.O.S have released two albums, the group was still unrecognized by a majority of the public. The members had faced with the fact that they might not be destined for stardom. Thus, after the second album in 2005, the members have taken a break to do separate solo project. Choi Hyun Jun came out with a single called Nai Jen, a song duet with Lee Jin Sung (Monday Kiz) which has reached No. 1 spot on the M.Net Music Chart. Park Ji Heon, he started his own underground billards hall in front of his house called " Everyday Billards" which most of the stars usually go to the shop.

The group garner a place at the top when they surprised their audiences with an outstanding live performances in both small and big concerts across the country. At last, V.O.S have the power to hold their first ever group concert set in early December. I hope they will continue to make use of their voices to move the souls to their listeners and bring goods songs to their fans.

The thirteen members are Lee Tuek (Leader), Hee Chul, Han Kyung, Ye Sung, Kang In, Shin Dong, Sung Min, Eun Hyuk, Dong Hae, Si Won, Ryeo Wook, Ki Bum and Kyu Hyun. The only chinese member, Han Kyung joined the group after he was chosen from the audition among 3,000 applicants by SM Entertainment in 2001. In such, the group with twelve members launched their first single, "Twins(Knock Out)" and also performed as a group on SBS Inkigayo on 6 November 2005. Thereafter, a complete album, Super Junior05 (Twins) was released on 7 December 2005 with hit songs " Twins (Knock Out)" and "You Are The One".

An Official fanclub was created for the group as E.L.F (Everlasting Friends) and an official color, Sapphire blue was chosen to represent Super Junior 05 by the Korean fans. To further publicize the group, Super Junior 05 collaborated with their fellow senior labelmates, Dong Bang Shin Ki and released a Christmas single together titled " Show Me Your Love". Both the groups performed together to promote their single in some of the music shows.
In year 2006, Super Junior 05 moved on to their second single "Miracle", a light bubblegum-flavoured song which peak at No. 1 on different music charts in South Korea as well as Asia countries. When promotions for the single slowly come to an end, SM Entertainment announced to the public that Super Junior 05 was not intended to be a permanent group but a rotational project group so as to create popularity and experiences for each member in order to achieve success easily in the entertainment industry. The recording company revealed that some members would either stay or leave the group to pursue on solo activities. New members would probably joined in to replace the members who leave the group while some would be rotated. This caused outrageous reaction from the fans who wanted Super Junior 05 to remain together as a group.
On 23 May 2006, SM Entertainment announced the addition of a new member Kyu Hyun, the youngest member of the group. The group polished a newer look and released their new single "U" online for fans to download free on 25 May 2006.

The album officially landed on CD stores on 6 June 2006 ultimately selling over 83,000 copies. Since then, Super Junior had been appearing on various musical and variety shows frequently to promote their first single "U" and second single "Dancing Out".
In Year 2007, Super Junior underwent a rough bend, beginning to branch out into different splinter groups and became detached, causing rumors that the group was disbanding. Super Junior - K.R.Y was the first sub-group to be created in November 2006 with 3 members, Ye sung, Ryeo Wook and Kyu Hyun who was known to have the most perfect and powerful vocals in Super Junior. K.R.Y participated in the Original Soundtrack for TV Drama Hyena with a total of three tracks, including the main theme. Each member of K.R.Y have their own numbers of fan-base which could also be a marketable group itself even without presented as super Junior. The next sub-group will be Super Junior-T created in February 2007 with members Lee Tuek, Hee Chul, Kang In, Shin Dong, Sung Min and Eun Hyuk. The group released their first single "Rokkugo" on 23 February 2007 which they sing a traditional style of K-pop into a more modernised version and was well-received by both the older and younger generation. The group even received praises from music critics. The single sucessfully topped No. 1 spot in several music charts in Korea. Super Junior-T made their first television appearance on 25 February 2007 on SBS Inkigayo with trot singer Bang Shil Yi and sang her hit song " Chut Cha".
Super Junior was also popular in Asia countries especially China and Thailand which the group paid many visits to these two countries promoting their songs. There have been speculation whereby Super Junior will target overseas markets and hold an Asian world concert tour in 2008. The group's second full-length album was marked to be release on November 2006 but was postponed due to a serious incident on 19 April 2007 at about 12.20am (Korean time) where 4 members of Super Junior, Lee Tuek, Shin Dong, Eun Hyuk and Kyu Hyun and two managers were injured in a car crash.

Tired! New Korean dramas

Wow, its been a tiring and busy week recently with my work. At last, I got some spare time to post new message. There are many korean dramas launching out but the most I liked and would recommend is as below:

After a string of failed attempts to hire a housekeeper, she literally runs into Chae Moo Ryong (Jae Hee), ex-medical student turned aspiring chef. As a way to work off his debt for crashing into her car, he agrees to become her housekeeper and personal love affairs coach for one month. Gladly, he gives her a makeover that attracts both her old friend Johnny Kruger (Dennis Oh) and her first love Joon Ha (Kim Jeong Hoon). Despite having a girlfriend, Sung Mi (Jun Hye Bin), Moo Ryong eventually finds himself falling for Yoo Hee...

New Korean Drama : Goong S (aka Prince Hours)

Goong S was make after the released of hot popularity Korean drama,
Princess Hours. This story tells a prince, Lee Hoo (portray by seven),
who has been living outside the palace after his parents died early.
Lee Hoo works as a delivery boy at a Chinese restaurant and everyday
life was so anticipating. Until one day, the Queen (portray by Myung
Se Bin) would like him to be the next successor to the throne. To enter
a unfamilar place, "Palace" and receiving royal lessons, there will
definitely involves funny scenes. Not only that, Lee Joon (portray by
Kang Doo) will also bring tension to this drama when they fight over
the throne and the women as well as the disputes between the
royal academy.

According to some of the websites, this drama was not well received

by the viewers. The expectation was not good enough compared to the

previous one "Princess Hours". The rating was not ideal and the plot

was unable to attract the viewers. To my point of view, I think the drama

will get more exciting during in the middle of epsiode. Let's keep our

fingers crossed for the better present of the drama.

白智英 - 壞人

After finish watching the drama "Hwang Jin Yi", I get to like the OST song especially 壞人 by Baek Yi Young, a 29-year-old korean pop singer. This song was so touching and nice to listen.
In fact, Baek Ji Young has won the "Best Ballad Singer" in November last year for her fifth album "Smile Again" during the MKMF Awards. With this song for the drama, it has outshine her singing career to a higher level.

Recently, I watch a Korean drama called "Hwang Jin Yi" which illustrates a
famous 16th century Gisaeng (Female Entertainer) in North Korea who lives her life as a Joseon-era dancer and a poet.

Although, Hwang Jin Yi faces much hardship due to her social status, she is fortunate to have been loved by 3 guys who are willingly to sacrifice for her. Her first love with nobleman Kim Eun Ho (portrayed by Jang Guen Suk) ended pitifully when he dies due to lovesick. During this scene, I keep on crying non-stop as it was so sad and touching.

Hwang Jin Yi scored a high-rating of 20.1% viewers watching this drama in Korea. With this drama, it brings spotlight to Ha Ji Won who portrayed as Hwang Jin Yi, won the Netizen award, couple award and also Daesang Award at the KBS Performance Award. Not only this, it also brought fame to Jang Guen Suk and Wang Bit Na whose acting skills being recognized by the viewers.

I strongly recommend this drama “Hwang Jin Yi” to all Korean lovers out there. This is a prominent drama which will definitely be the next hottest topic after “Dae Jang Geum”.

Below is the dialogue which I personally like when Kim Eun Ho say before he pass away.

虽然我的人生比别人短暂

但我不会怨恨

能见到你

相亲相爱的时光

拥有着美好时光的

怎么会觉得冤枉

一点都没有

但是刻在骨髓上的后悔还是有的

是没能更好的爱您

没能把世界设给我们的圈套亲手收起来

非常后悔

希望你不要因为我流太多的眼泪

不希望眼泪伴随着你

让我替你哭泣你的孤独吧

现在我要去能安心看着你的世界了

我留下的眼泪一定会保佑你

我会一直祈祷

祈祷你以后的生活不会那么福薄

过的幸福美满

Alas! Shine Korea!

At last, I've finally created a blog! I did not intend to create a blog until one day something cross my mind: I should have share my opinions with others on my interest in Korean music, drama and variety shows. I believe there'll be people out there which shares the same interest like I do.

Anyway, I'll like to talk about a recent Korean variety show called "X-Man", which was highly recommended by some website. This variety show will have a subject/theme (ie. Most handsome singer, Youngest looking singer, etc) every week and 100 artists will cast their vote before the show starts. Then, the top 12 artists/singer will be invited into the show, without knowing who's the number 1 voted person (aka the "X-Man") based on that day's subject/theme. They will be split into 2 groups, playing games which the winning team for that game section will have a chance to castaway who they think might be the "X-Man" on that day. The team without the "X-Man" will win the game.

The variety show was so funny that I feel so high-spirited even after a moody day. The hosts really displays their powers of making people laugh. So, I will like to share the best of Korea to those out there.
