Random musings on South Korean media...

Found this MV and it is cute surfing an asian site.

Reportedly, the singer Magolpy (South Korean) sung this song (she is not in the video)-The song is “Bi Haeng So Nyeo” (or “Bi Heng So Nyo,” which means flying girl)… caused a stir as she was "mysterious" and her CD cover did not show her face clearly.

Some famous Koreans in this ad for IVYCLUB--musical group stars SHINWA and actress cuite Moon Geun Young.

I want to see this movie:중천 (中天) (Joong-cheon) 2006 which was in the movie theaters in Korea when I was there visiting last December.

The Restless or “Jungcheon” is a fantasy action movie. The other film at the theaters I wanted to catch was 200 Pounds Beauty aka Minyeo-neun goerowo (KR 2006)

(It is an adaptation of a popular Japanese comedy series by Suzuki Yumiko, which produces hilarious jokes about a beautiful woman who leads the life of an obese woman _ as she was. But the film version focuses more on how the obese woman tries to find her true self. )
I really like Ju Jin Mo and the lead song in the movie is cover song of Blondie's "MARIA" and I watched the MV a few times while in South Korea. Kim A Jung does a great job and this movie trumped "Restless" which had a bigger budget and higher star power! It basically chronicles a big girl who is the voice for a beautiful gal. She wants to be famous but before she can do that she goes through a big change.

Plus I heard this song on the radio while walking around Seoul and saw the video with cutie hapa Dennis Oh in the MV for Korean band SG Wannabe (SG 워너비) with Kim Jong Gook 김종국--바람만 바람만 - Only Wind
