Q: It feels like it’s been an entire year since the last time we heard your voice, until your current featuring on this song with 20yearsofage. What are your thoughts?
Hyuna: I was really nervous. On the day the track was going to be released, 20yearsofage and I were both yelling “It’s going to be out in 20 minutes”, “I don’t know anymore”, and even refused to leave the house. Haha. Both of us were particularly sensitive and vexed before the song was completed, and it was a great relief after the song was released. The fans’ reactions were good too; Nine Muses will definitely have our comeback, but in the meantime it seems that the fans’ thirst can be slightly alleviated by this song.

"...but watching the documentary, I feel that we’re in a more pleasant place now, and our work staff have improved a lot, and things are better." )

After a traumatic experience in his childhood, Cha Do Hyun, a third-generation billionaire, suffers memory lapses and his personality then scattered into seven different identities. A first-year Psychiatrist resident doctor, Oh Ri Jin, is a beautiful, innocent, and popular woman on the surface, but she and her twin brother, Oh Ri On, hide different facades. Oh Ri Jin is money-oriented, has messy habits, and dreams to be a pro wrestler; while Oh Ri On acts like a fool despite actually a genius writer of detective novels.

Oh Ri-jin (Hwang Jung-eum) - A first-year psychiatry resident who tries hard to maintain her seemingly perfect image to cover for her real personality. Seemingly elegant and genteel, she is messy, a big eater, and dreams of becoming a pro-wrestler. Ri-jin secretly treats Do-hyun then falls in love with one of his personalities.
Oh Ri-on (Park Seo-joon) - Ri-jin's twin brother. Ri-on gets mistaken for an idiot, but he is actually a genius mystery novelist.

If you put aside the first 20 minutes, and all that came with it - the bad acting, the accents, the painfully obvious cgi; this show is pretty fun. I can't wait to see the rest of Do-hyun's personalities, especially Yo-na ~the extrovert and sassy teen girl.
Surprisingly, I'm actually enjoying how the show is handling his transitions - the change of the eye color, the appearance of the tattoo.. It's fun.

Wu Yifan was spotted wearing what seems like the sunglasses from Jessica‘s own brand on January 9th and 10th, while he was travelling around in China for his scheduled activities.
Wu Yifan took a flight from Beijing to Changsha for the filming of Chinese variety show Day Day Up (also known as Tian Tian Xiang Shang;天天向上), which took place on January 10th. The show had also previously invited other Korean celebrities including T-ARA and CNBLUE.


Fans who were at the airport to send him off and welcome him spotted the uncanny similarity between the airport accessory Wu Yifan was wearing and Jessica’s sunglasses. In fact, Wu Yifan is suspected to be wearing the black New York model from Jessica’s BLANC & ECLARE sunglasses brand.

The youngest members of After School, E-young and Ka Eun, got some attention of their own through an interview and photoshoot with bnt international.

"Which After School member takes care of you the best?" )

I can't find a full translation of the interview but I thought what little soompi translated was cute \o/ fb fanpage After School has other tidbits, like Kaeun being close to HV's Yooyoung and Bestie, and Eyoung wanting to join WGM, but they don't have a full translation or a source.
OT but pics are coming out of Jooyeon's graduation fanmeet and OC aren't even there. Pledis, man

The Weird And Wonderful World of Korean Pizza - Annette Ekin, Slate Online Magazine



Sweet potato crust, fig and snail toppings, strawberry and cream cheese: Seoul's pizza-makers aren't afraid to experiment.


Since the arrival of pizza, primarily through big American brands like Pizza Hut, which came to the Korean Peninsula in 1980, the culture around it has evolved and become Koreanized. The country’s pizza scene has grown diverse in recent times thanks to more Koreans traveling abroad and returning home to set up different ventures and demand from the growing foreign population. Today, there are the Koreanized chains, upscale eateries, places doing Neapolitan-style pizza, and casual spots to eat New York slices.

This is severly edited to focus on the food. The original article is twice as long but still interesting to read.

So, Omona, if you've been to Korea, where's you're favorite pizza place? What do you usually order? (I like Monster Pizza in Hongdae and Pizza Alvolo which is a chain)
What's the pizza like in your country?

EDIT: Thinking about all this pizza and reading all the comments, makes me want to have a Seoul meet-up with any members living/working/visiting in Korea. How could I set that up?

SO EXCITED. EDDY AND THEM GLASSES HAVE ME FEELIN SOME TYPE OF WAY

Sara Maria Forsberg, a 20 years old Finnish girl, announced on her Instagram today that she has written a new song for Girls' Generation. And not just any tune, she says it's their upcoming single. She has also said before that she has written even more songs for Asian artists, but this was the first one that was revealed.


"But who is this?" you might ask. Last March, Sara Maria Forsberg, maybe better known as Smokahontas, uploaded some videos on Youtube that went viral pretty fast. (I bet some of you have seen them too: What languages sound like to foreigners #1 and #2, One girl, 14 genres)
Her videos have gained a lot of attention on the Internet and other media and they literally changed her life.

Nowadays, she's building her career as an entertainer in LA. She has filmed a movie with Jackie Chan and has a record deal with Capitol Records. She is most likely making her own debut as an artist this year. You know, these little things...

Mods, the text is my own writing, but I added a Finnish article as a source. I hope everything is okay. This is my first post, but I thought this is interesting enough to deserve posting.
