My favorite couple’s at it again! Dream High only has one more episode to go, so it’s about time that the Milk Couple sealed their relationship! Continue reading
In episode 9 of Dream High, the tables get turned in many ways, probably the most significant one being that the students of the admission class (consisting of Go Hyemi, Song Samdong, and Kim Pilsook) dramatically improve their talent and skills, reaching the level of the group ‘K’ members (Yoon Baekhee, JinGuk, and Jason). However, in this post, I will NOT be talking about this change – I’ll be talking about the cute Milk Couple instead.
Everyone has favorites, right? It’s almost impossible not to favor one member of a group in K-pop unless 1. you don’t haven’t developed a liking for it or 2. you like a group so much that you’ve learned so much about each member that they’re each equally lovable to you or 3. you don’t know the group well enough to have favorites.
Well, I must admit that I have favorites in the K-pop realm, too. First, let’s start with Wonder Girls, my all-time favorite group. I love the group so much that I apply to number 2. Well, of course, there are certain members that I think are best in certain areas or are my favorite in certain areas. Let’s see.
Yoobin is #1 (within her group) for (talents) rapping, dancing, and the charisma from both. I’d say that because of this, she’s the most eye-catching when you watch a Wonder Girls performance with no prior “experience”. She’s also the aegyo queen of the group, and ranks #2 for fashion. Singing is quite a bit of a downfall.
I think Yeeun and Sunye are very similar in terms of talent. One difference is that Sunye has more leadership training from being a JYPE trainee for a bit less than 5 years, while Yeeun didn’t train for even half a year, but is well versed. Both are indeed very talented. They are tied for singing and being caring. Yeeun is a very quick learner, while Sunye really has the group voice. She knows her stuff — when it’s her group members’ times to shine and when they’re hurting. She can speak for all of the interests of the Wonder Girls.
Sunmi is really the 4-D wink queen. Her voice is relatively low (but not low enough to compare to Yoobin) and average, but not bad (but not good enough to compare with Yeeun and Sunye). I’d say that her smile is the prettiest out of all the members, but not by much.
Sohee is able to appear cute even if she’s not trying to. Although her singing and dancing is mediocre, I know that she really does try hard and her talent will become something great if she continues to try to nurture it. She is #1 for fashion and body since she’s so skinny. Even though she doesn’t have double eyelids, she has a very cute smile and her tongue thing is cute as well.
I haven’t really gotten to know Hyelim since she’s so new, but her Cantonese and English are the best since she lived in Hong Kong. She is still very shy. I hope to learn more about her and see/hear more of her personality, dancing, and singing in the future.
Now on with other groups.
In 2PM (yes, I don’t hate them.), my favorite has always been angel Nichkhun. :) He’s Chinese like me anyways. :D
In BEAST, I like Yang YoSeob and Son DongWoon. YoSeob=flat nose xD + strong vocals; DongWoon = deep voice + maknae!! :D Also, both (and another two BEAST members) are from JYPE.
In SNSD, I like Taeyeon and Seohyun. Taeyeon = powerful voice + short (like me) + funny. Seohyun = mature maknae. :)
I think that’s about all of my favorites in K-pop groups these days. :)
If you’re a fan of 2PM or 2AM, then you should know that they were originally supposed to be in a 11-member group called “One Day”. 2AM and 2PM can be referred as “2 o’ clock” or “One Day” together.
Recently, I realized that “One Day” in Korean could be said as “il-il” as “one” can be said as “il” in Korean and “day” can be said as “il” in Korean. So I thought, Wow it’s il-il — the same character twice! (일일 — il-il or One Day in Korean).
Now that I think of it, since “il” can mean one, then “il-il” can also mean “1-1” or “eleven”. There are 11 members in One Day, or 2AM and 2PM combined — 2AM has 4 members, and 2PM has 7 members (including Jaebeom), and 4+7=11.
I’m not sure if someone found this out before me, but I found this pretty surprising. I’m not sure if JYP meant for One Day to also mean “Eleven”, symbolizing all 11 members. Anyways, isn’t that pretty cool? And this also means that without Jaebeom, there is no “One Day” — there aren’t 11 members.
If anyone knows more information about this, please leave a comment. :D
It’s just been revealed that 2PM’s leader Jaebeom has received love calls to be the male lead in the b-boy Hollywood
flick, Hype Nation.
We’ve heard a lot about this movie already, with BoA and Son Dambi, who were both supposed to star in it, but later declined or pulled out.
Anyway, the producer of the movie apparently informed JYP Entertainment that they want Jaebeom to be the lead male role for Hype Nation and that JYP Entertainment is currently reviewing whether or not to take the offer.
However, when Newsen requested information from JYP Entertainment regarding this matter, JYPE responded with, “We don’t know about this.”
But who knows, maybe they will reveal this along with the news that everyone is waiting to hear at the press conference on the 24th.

Bboy movie? Then Jaebeom belongs in it!
I hope JYPE speaks more about it ^^
I’d really like to see a movie with Jay in it (:
2PM’s Jaebum – Unable to return?
Having withdrawn from 2PM last September, there is a higher possibility for Park Jaebum to not return.
On the 21st, an associate of JYP Entertainment stated that after a company meeting on the topic of Jaebum’s return, the direction that the company has chosen is for the inability for Jaebum to return.
Another associate stated “Should Jaebum not return to 2PM, there is a high possibility that he will be pursuing solo activities in Korea or America. JYP Entertainment will soon release their official statement on this matter.”
