Super Junior's Shindong Back in Hawaii


Shortly after tweeting a cute and playful photo of himself wearing Asiana Airlines mitts, Super Junior's Shindong, posted another photo of  four burgers about to be consumed at a local Honolulu, Hawaii burger restaurant called Kuaaina Burgers.

The photo showed four perfectly grilled pineapple burgers, a favorite on the menu, with sides of fries. He tweeted, "Ah... Delicious! Very delicious!" via his Instagram account.

There were rumors before the group left in mid-July that they will be back for a photo shoot. However those rumors were never confirmed. 

Is he back for work with fellow members? (No news yet as to who traveled with him) Or, is he here alone for some R & R? Either way, welcome back to Hawaii Shindong! We hope you enjoy your stay!

Keep checking back for any new updates!

FT Island's Lee Jaejin is Back!

Late last year, FT Island's bassist, Lee Jaejin, deleted his Twitter account. Since then, fans have been begging him to go back on, but to no avail.

However, he has started his own Instagram account and has begun to actively use it. He began to post photos on September 6th and as of this post, his account has over 30k followers.



So although fans have lost him permanently on Twitter, fans can rejoice in that he's using another social app.

See his posts on his Instagram account, @saico0111.

Welcome back to social media society, Jaejin!!

Super Junior Working on Song for Tony Moly

In a previous post, I mentioned that members of popular K-Pop group Super Junior (along with f(x)'s Victoria) were selected as the new models for Asian beauty product line Tony Moly.




Now, it looks like the guys are working on more than just looking handsome for their advertisements. Members Donghae and Ryeowook hinted at a collaboration with Eunhyuk and Henry(?).

Donghae tweeted photos of the potential song title and a photo of the four in the studio session.

Ryeowook tweeted in response to one of Donghae's tweets "Tony Moly".

Hope it sounds good!

FT Island to Release 6th Mini Album!


It was announced though their official Facebook site that the handsome K-PopRock group, FT Island, will be releasing their 6th and newest Korean mini album titled, "Thanks To"!

As a sort of tribute to their fans, the five have embarked on a tour specially for the fans who have given them so much support called, "FTHX" or FT Thanks. It seems that they've translated this to their new anniversary album as well. 

They will be doing a Q and A on their Facebook site from September 9th through 13th. Fans will be able to post a question and the members will select questions to answer personally. The answers will be posted when the album releases on September 23rd.

Post post post!

So excited to see what the questions and answers will be. (Btw, please be thoughtful and respectful in your questioning.)

Even more excited for their new album!

Tony Moly! Featuring Super Junior M and Victoria!


Tony Moly store in Singapore.
I was looking for new fodder to blog about. I've been feeling very distressed that I haven't had my fix of dramas for a while. And writing reviews/recaps of "We Got Married Global" just wasn't coming along anymore. I mean, how are you supposed to write recaps when the show is already done?? I felt that the end was spoiled already.

Anywhoo...I guess you're wondering when I'm going to get to the point. I was searching the net for news on CC cream cause that's really hot right now and I found news about Tony Moly, K-Pop group Super Junior M and a member from f(x) named Victoria.

Super Junior M (minus Eunhyuk)
What do these three have in common? Well, it looks like Asian beauty line, Tony Moly, will be refreshing their ads with Super Junior M and Victoria. You will probably be seeing them in store ads, print ads, commercials, promotions. (I'm just thinking of all the mediums they use to push their products. Who knows if they will do anything different?)

For those not very familiar with all the different sub groups to Super Junior, and honestly I'm still learning myself since I'm a fairly new fan, the group itself is split into different sub groups to target certain markets in Asia. (Gosh, my profession is really talking!) Super Junior M is their sub group for the Chinese market (M for Mandarin, or so I'm told.). They consist of members Kyuhyun, Donghae, Eunhyuk, Henry, Siwon, Ryeowook, Sungmin, Zhou Mi, and former member Hangeng. (Absolute heart stopping handsome guys. Plus, they can sing you to the point of meltdown. ELF's all over know this first hand. LOL!)

Check out one of their singles, "Breakdown" below! (Sorry, this is the Korean version.)



K-Pop group f(x)

Victoria, well, much simpler explanation. She's the leader of K-Pop group f(x), and is one of three members not of Korean descent. (She was born in China.) She's known for her beauty and talent. And her group's beautiful members, with their catchy techno pop mixed in with the proverbial rap vibe makes them stand out from the rest of the clutter of idols. (All I gotta say is that Amber has got skillz!) But, I know her best as Nichkhun's wife on "We Got Married". Can you tell I'm a fan of "We Got Married"?

Btw, have you checked out f(x)'s chart topping hit, "Rum Pum Pum"? If not, see below!



Back to Tony Moly. If you haven't heard of them, you're either not Asian or you don't live anywhere near Asia. They are one of the leaders in the cosmetics, facial and body care. What really grabs the attention of the shopper are their cute packaging (apple and lemon shaped hand lotion containers) and interesting ingredients (snail slime in lotions?).




They had formerly featured another K-Pop group, JYJ, in all their advertisements.

Both Super Junior M and Victoria are rumoured to have finished their photo shoots for the cosmetics brand. Looking forward to seeing them plastered all over!
