Mutzine interviews Teni Bakare, Street Style Photographer in Korea

[cotxpaxi.livejournal.com]

Hi guys!
I'm about a week late in posting the 4th feature for Mutzine. It's been hectic managing stuff on the other side of the world to say the least!

I'm looking for contributors (idea generators, researchers, writers, and graphic artists) so if you'd like to get involved shoot me an email at gissella@mutzine.me. You can be based anywhere as long as you are passionate and eager to create high quality content!

Also follow Mutzine on Instagram & Facebook! There's strength in numbers :)

Without further-ado, this week I bring you an interview with a Street Style Photographer:



Teni Bakare decided to move to South Korea and work as an English teacher after falling in love with K-dramas. Her hobby during her time there was taking street style photographs. In this interview, Teni discusses what she has learned after a year-long survey of Korean street fashion.

Foolish male mediaplays a dating rumour with Bora for attention, is mercilessly struck down

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

Starship Entertainment has responded to rumors that SISTAR’s Bora is dating former “The Voice Korea” contestant singer Sam Ku.

On April 30, a representative from Starship Entertainment firmly denied the rumors, “It doesn’t even make sense that Bora and Sam Ku are dating. She barely even knows who Sam Ku is. [The rumors] are definitely not true.”

The representative continued, “Recently when Bora was an MC on KBS 2TV’s ‘Music Bank,’ he came and greeted her but that is it. This has caught us off guard.”

Sam Who* was a contestant on the first season of Mnet’s “The Voice Korea” in 2012. He was later signed to GnG Production, the same label as actor Lee Jong Hyuk, and debuted in February 2014.

Prepare your Kleenex. Junsu performs on TV for the first time in 6 years

[sand-nicky.livejournal.com]

XIA Junsu's full performance on Space Empathy on EBS:

‘Space Korea’ with XIA had a tremendous popularity!

XIA’s agency C-Jes Entertainment said, “XIA appeared on the music show ‘Space Korea’, for the first time in 6 years. Key words ‘EBS On Air’, ‘Space Korea’ and ‘Kim Junsu’ dominated every portals’ real time search. XIA’s perfect performance, where he proved once again his outstanding singing ability, is still a hot issue on the internet”.

XIA’s show was impossible to be replaced: from the moment when he was casted to the recording’s process, fans’ interest and attention were intense. He was really excited to perform in a little theater and sung his beloved songs from his albums, drama OST and musicals. To make the stage special, he also sang an acoustic version of ‘Flower’ and had an enthusiastic response from the audience.

At the end of the show, his voice broke with emotion while introducing the last song. Then he said, “It was really hard as an artist to not be able to perform in a music show during 6 years. But I was capable to be here today thanks to my wonderful fans who took the situation on the chin and kept supporting me”.

After the show, XIA’s live performance was spread on all sorts of SNS and online communities. Fans were really touched and hope to see him more often on the TV from now.

Meanwhile, XIA finished his third album’s activity with ‘Space Korea’ and will strive to concentrate on his musical ‘Death Note’ which will start in June.




On April 30, EBS’ “Space Sympathy” aired JYJ Junsu’s hotly anticipated first music show performance in six years.

Needless to say, it was an emotional affair for both Junsu and the audience alike.

Junsu opens with a touching performance of the ballad “Love Is Like a Snowflake” and closes with a special arrangement of his latest single “Flower.”



Afterwards, Junsu gladly obliging cries from the audience for an encore. He sings a poignant cover of “Uphill Road” which leaves him and the audience in tears. He apologizes and says he’ll sing it one more time, exiting the stage and returning to give it more try.


Junsu's first public broadcast performance on EBS 'Space Empathy' after 6 years

Osen - Naver: Kim Junsu cries during his performance on music broadcast 'Space Empathy'

1. [+1621, -67] ㅠㅠㅠSM, you need to stop now ㅜㅜ

2. [+1421, -33] In invisible places, he continued to bloom... I started to cry as soon as I saw those words. Thank you for this 'Space Empathy'. Junsu and the fans cried but not because of sadness but we cried because of happiness. Let us walk together from now on

3. [+1018, -32] I'm a guy fan and the broadcast was truly touching. I hope to see him a lot on tv from now on

4. [+905, -32] Where are the articles released around 12:30 am?

5. [+164, -4] I cried watching it. I hope to see more performance on music broadcasts. Junsu-nim, I'm cheering for you!

6. [+158, -3] Not a fan but I teared up just by reading this article... I only found out through reading the comments but shouldn't those who are preventing him from performing on public broadcast need to be investigated? Junsu isn't even a criminal? It's absurd

7. [+60, -1] I don't know if this article is gonna disappear too. Naver, you shouldn't do that. Early on last night, I was searching for articles but the ones that have lots of comments have disappeared.

8. [+57, -4] I've been searching since last night but the articles on the main page are gone. Shameless dirty SM



Ilgan Sports via Naver: Kim Junsu appears on music broadcast for the first time in 6 years... a meaning beyond his appearance

1. [+1,853, -46] Junsu hyung, screw off to public broadcast already!!!

2. [+1,499, -38] I cried with him when I saw him last night. How badly he must've wanted to be on screen.

3. [+1,440, -28] Broke my heart yesterday... and his singing is as good as ever.

4. [+1,278, -24] I wish I could see him on public broadcast music shows instead of varieties now

5. [+278, -8] I wish it was easy to see him as changing the channel. His song was great, can't believe we haven't been able to see such great singing all this time. Give us the right to watch what we want, you broadcast channels.

Nate

1. [+529, -53] He didn't stand out for me when he was one of the five but wow, he's amazing... his singing is great. Even my mom was so impressed and asked who he was. Sad that talentless nugus get on TV shows just fine but nobody can listen to Kim Junsu's singing unless you pay and physically attend his concerts.

2. [+427, -39] I'm so happy to be able to hear his singing. Kim Junsu fighting! JYJ fighting!

3. [+393, -41] Proud as a fan! Don't cry oppa, you have fans in high school yet still.

Just so you understand what the "deleted articles" comments were about: at midnight (KST time) all the articles related to Junsu performing on EBS had been deleted. After a while they started coming back. The public thinks SM had a hand in this (the comments from those articles accused SM of banning JYJ from appearing on TV).
