Article: 'Cultwo's Veranda Show' spotlights sasaeng fans, sasaeng fan makes first ever appearance "Even pregnant women camp out overnight"

The March 29th episode of CulTwo's Veranda Show featured a segment on sasaeng fans along with a special sasaeng fan guest at the studio.

- Sasaeng fan 'L' who's been a sasaeng fan from her 2nd year of junior high to 3rd year of high school: "(I became a sasaeng fan) because you can talk to the celebrities. When you wait at the dorms or other places they frequent, they start to recognize you and you can talk to them. I went because you could get closer. When they recognize you, you're overcome with a feeling of pride, possession, and other imaginative thoughts."

- To get into the dorms, sasaeng fans will use one fan to distract the security guards (pick a fight, etc) so that the group can get past the gates and to the dorm. They'll hide in the storage room or the attic.

A Delicious New Look to “Shinhwa Broadcast”

[asth77.livejournal.com]

The boys of Shinhwa are back with their sleeves rolled up.

After a month long break, the group’s namesake show, “Shinwa Broadcast,” will be back on television with a new format. The updated format takes the shape of a food variety show in which the members compete to cook up the best meal for various families. Included in the competition will be the mothers of these families and the rest of the family members will have to figure out which meal was cooked by their real mother among the choices provided by the competing members. The families will be chosen among celebrity families and will not be limited to the mother figure but will also include mother-in-laws, husbands, and wives as viable competitors.

If the previous format of “Shinhwa Broadcast” mostly drew in young viewers, the producers of the show hope to reach a wider demographic with the new format.

“Shinhwa Broadcast” returns April 7 on JTBC. Can’t wait to see what antics the forever man-boys will come up with this time!

North Korea said Saturday that inter-Korean relations have entered into a state of war and all cross-border issues will be dealt with in a wartime manner, the latest in a near-daily series of strident threats against the South in recent weeks.
