I was in couch-potato-mode again a few hours earlier, so I decided to visit the channel Arirang, hoping I'd get to watch Super Junior features.
Showbiz Extra was on with Yemie and Adrien Lee (I don't know what their relationship is. Many Koreans share the same family name) as the usual emcees (I like their TV-hosting hooplahs. They're quirky and professional at the same time). I was getting bored; I had no idea who most of the celebrities they were presenting are. I was dozing off until I heard Kim Taeyeon's name-- yes, the SNSD leader-- announced as the one who took the lead role in the upcoming stage play Taiyou no Uta. I got interested since that play was originally a movie-slash-series from Japan, and it's one of my favorites. The singer-composer Yui Yoshioka (yes, yes, I mentioned her in my previous post) also starred as the main character in the movie, and Erika Sawajiri (the one from A Liter of Tears) in the series.
Kudos to Taeyeon! She's the second SNSD member who gets to star in a stage play, the other one being Jessica (Legally Blonde).
. . .
I never knew three of the U-Kiss members can actually speak English fluently. Eli, Alexander and Kevin were the hosts of Pops in Seoul; I don't know if they're official hosts there, but I find watching them announce and goof around to be kind of...disturbing. No offense to the fans. I've been clueless about U-kiss until last night when I watched one of their music videos on TV. I was unnerved but that's another story.
BUT that is not the point of this write-up. Gah, I keep on straying from the topic. Pops in Seoul was featuring a "90s heartthrob boy band" called H.O.T. (and I don't even want to remember what the acronym stands for), the members of which sported less than normal haircuts that, according to Kevin, were actually cool. And the surprising thing is...they are the original performers of Haengbok, a Super Junior remake.
I can't imagine SuJu having the same weird hairstyle.
Speaking of these smexy Gods of Dance and Song, there are TWO DAYS before Super Show 2. I heard they will be arriving at 11 am tomorrow and staying at the Shangri-La Hotel. I'd better get a course in Journalism and have my license...so I could let them camwhore in front of me someday.
