| “Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education” Might Travel to Sochi Olympics Posted: 03 Nov 2013 01:08 AM PDT Variety show "Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education" portrays high possibilities of visiting the Sochi Olympics. On October 31, a representative of the KBS2TV's variety show commented, "'Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education' is planning to go and cheer for the Sochi Olympics in Russia this upcoming February. Last May, the members of the show requested to visit the Sochi Olympics as a victory wish during the 'Bowling Series.' Afterwards, the staff and the members agreed that if the team could win four victories, we would go visit the Sochi Olympics. However, the 'Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education' team failed at winning four victories, which caused uncertainty on the plans to go to Russia."
Despite the uncertainty, the staff of the show expressed hope as the representative included," Later, our staff plans to give MCs Kang Ho Dong, DBSK's Changmin, and Lee Soo Geun another offer," sharing another spark to the possibility of visiting the Sochi Olympics. Furthermore, the representative added, "In the current situation, it is highly possible to have a Sochi trip. Yet, since we haven't been able to obtain plane tickets, the Olympic trip is uncertain." In regards to the nature of the Olympic visit, the representative explained, "Instead of a large scale visit, we want to go along with the show's nature and express a rather meaningful support for the Sochi Olympics," and concluded, "Soon, the final results will be revealed." Currently, "Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education" is airing their basketball series after the ping pong, bowling, and badminton matches. The KBS2TV variety show airs every Tuesday nights at 11:10PM KST.

| Uee and Jung Il Woo’s “Golden Rainbow” Starts Off with Lower Ratings Than Expected Posted: 02 Nov 2013 11:07 PM PDT MBC's new weekend drama "Golden Rainbow" kicked off its first episode on November 2 with a 10.9% viewer rating. This is a full 6.6% lower than the previous drama, "Scandal – A Shocking and Wrongful Incident," which closed out the show with a 17.5% rating. Just barely recording a two-digit viewer rating, "Golden Rainbow" did not do as well as expected. In the first episode, we see a woman who, after the death of her husband, also loses her child, thought to be dead. In the episode that will air on November 3, we will see everyone ten years later, played by the child actors Kim Yoo Jung (Baek Won), Oh Jae Mu (Seo Do Young), Seo Young Joo, Choi Ro Woon, etc. "Golden Rainbow" is the story of seven orphans who, with a friendship stronger than blood, endure and fight through the trials of life. Eventually, actor Jung Il Woo and actor/singer Uee will make their appearance as Seo Do Young and Baek Won, respectively. Did any Soompiers catch the first episode? What did you think?

| Samuel Seo, the New Generation of Underground Hip-Hop? Posted: 02 Nov 2013 10:37 PM PDT The hip-hop scene has been changing as some underground artists have started to release music that has made its mark with mainstream K-pop listeners. However, that leaves underground music listeners who rely on the raw vibe of hip-hop a bit dazed and confused. That is where Samuel Seo comes in. Samuel Seo, newest member of underground hip hop crew New Block Babyz, has released his first album “Welcome to my Zone.” Rather than pursuing the current pop trend, he brings something different: the ambient sounds of the 90′s fused with the edgy southern hip-hop style. Not only does his music contain classical piano tunes, his rap and vocals also include a little bit of something in between. He is eager to show music listeners that rap music isn’t just rapping over so-called hip-hop beats but instead, bringing his life to the music. All tracks were produced by Samuel Seo himself. Even the video and artwork he took the time to direct. Featured on his album is Jayho, who released his first single “American Girl” in August, Nucksal of Guereallaz, Guerith Isle, 2tak (the beatboxer in ASSA COMMUNICATION owned by rapper Outsider), and #WM who worked as a chorus vocal for Kim Tae Woo and B. The artwork on the CD contains art by talented artists hand chosen by Samuel Seo himself. The album was released on October 28th and track list is given below.

| Jewelry’s Yewon on the Behind-the-Scenes of Idol Dating Posted: 02 Nov 2013 09:20 PM PDT Jewelry's Yewon recently talked about the behind-the-scenes of idol dating. On the October 1 episode of JTBC's variety/talk show "Witch Hunt," hosts Shin Dong Yup, Sung Si Kyung, Heo Ji Woong, and Sam Hammington talked about women and relationships. In the corner called, "Witch Hunt – Turn Off the Green Light," they discussed the worries of a woman who can't choose between two men, and invited columnist/editor Kwak Jung Eun, model Han Hye Jin, Jewelry's Yewon, and actor Hong Suk Cheon to the show for discussion. Yewon said that since they are in the public eye, a lot of idols date in secret, and largely through text or chat. Specifically, she said that there are idols who hit on not just one or two, but several other people at the same time. When Shin Dong Yup asked if there are idols that hit on members of the same group, she immediately replied, "Yes, there are! Because they [members of the group] don't know." Han Hye Jin quickly asked if it was a girl or guy that does this, and Yewon said that she heard it was a girl. Baited into revealing this information, Yewon seemed really surprised at what she had told, which was apparently more than she had planned.

| Scenes That We See Over and Over Again in Korean Dramas Posted: 02 Nov 2013 08:44 PM PDT "Do I like you?" Lee Min Ho asks Park Shin Hye in the currently airing drama "The Heirs." It's the classic story of rich boy meets poor girl. In this case, Lee Min Ho (Kim Tan) is the second son of the ridiculously wealthy Jeguk Group, and Park Shin Hye (Cha Eun Sang) is the daughter of Jeguk Group's housekeeper. Of course, he's in love with her, and is doing everything he can to win her over. Oh yeah, and they live in the same house. It's the cliché that we all saw (and loved?) in the 1990 American classic, "Pretty Woman," starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. Since then, maybe even before that, we've seen countless dramas that have employed a similar story line. They're different, with different people and different circumstances, but in many ways they're the same, too. Here are some scenes that you can probably relate to many different dramas:
These scenes can be found in dramas like "The Heirs," "Secret," “Master’s Sun,” "Secret Garden," "Boys Over Flowers," and on and on the list goes. Of course, there are many more other things that we’ve also seen over and over again in dramas, like terminal illnesses, the famous water-thrown-in-face/slap combo, amnesia, etc.
So why do we like these dramas so much if we've seen it all before? Drama critic Gong Hee Jung said, "The wealthy are one of the central topics in Korean dramas. [People like it so much] Because it's something the masses don't have and can fantasize about through dramas. We may see the typical average wealthy girl along with another main female character in dramas, but in the end, we don't break away from the 'Cinderella complex.' You can call it a sort of admiration by people of average income for that unreachable status of wealth." What do you think? Do you agree? Why do you think we keep seeing these types of dramas and scenes air in Korea? Are there any particular scenes that you’re tired of seeing in dramas, and do you think any scenes are a must-have?

| Gil Mistakes Yoo Jae Suk’s Kiss as BoA’s During a Prank Posted: 02 Nov 2013 06:08 PM PDT Gil received a kiss from Yoo Jae Suk while believing it to be from BoA. On the November 2 episode of MBC's "Infinity Challenge's" music festival special, Gil and his music partner BoA had a close encounter when BoA was asked to present a gift to Gil for a successful hat dance during the duo's stage. However, the gift was not any ordinary gift, but rather for BoA to give a congratulatory kiss to Gil. As the pair entered backstage after their performance, Gil and BoA were greeted with chants of "Kiss" from the other “Infinity Challenge” members and guests. After much persistence, BoA agreed to give a kiss to Gil's head. Yet, as BoA took her place behind an anticipating, closed-eyes Gil, fellow member Yoo Jae Suk took the opportunity to pull a prank, as the comedian impersonated BoA by kissing Gil's head.
The prank garnered much laughter when Gil, unaware of the prank, conveyed his embarrassment to the thought of BoA's kiss. In addition, the scene displayed Gil's childlike personality as he verified his role as the gullible member of "Infinity Challenge." Gil and BoA formed their group called G.A.B (Gil And BoA), and participated in "Infinity Challenge's" music festival. The duo performed their song also titled “G.A.B” which included an eccentric hat dance, stirring the energy of the 35,000-person crowd.
