Love Me Tender

There are some pretty disgusting comments left on this video. It’s really sad to see such ignorance and xenophobia in today’s world, but it’s also an eye-opener as to what still needs changing in our world.

Apparently there is a rumour that Kibum from Super Junior may be leaving the group. According to All KPop, Kibum fans noticed that he had numours scheduling conflicts between his acting arrangements and SUJU promotional activities. Some are speculating that this, in addition to his minimal vocal contributions on their second album, is a result of Kibum slowly moving away from the group. Will SUJU diminish back to 12 members?

Personally, why is this even an issue? Kibum is supposed to be the English rapper of the group and his that is minimal, at best. He’s not very good either, and he can’t hold a key if his life depended on it. But that’s ok, because he’s more talented in acting anyway. If he is going to go (even though I wouldn’t be surprised if this is just a marketing scheme to create buzz about SUJU for their third album as well as Kibum’s acting roles), then let him go. He was hardly in the spotlight anyway. And at least this way the members can evenly pair up during their dance sequences. =P

This is a pretty dated clip but I just love Tim’s voice. And this song is great. It totally melts my heart (because of the words…Tim’s voice helps too =P).What I would give to hear him sing once a week…*sigh*

Tim is going to be performing with Son Ho Yeong and No Brain on August 16 in Seoul Olympic Park. Those lucky fans. =(

Sorry for the lack of posting. My trip to Asia was great. I got to have a lot of family time and spend time with my grandmother. I enjoyed it very much. Big thanks to Kazuma for posting while I was gone.

So someone tried to leave a comment on my seemingly popular post about Tiffany from SNSD by leaving a link to an online petition for Tiffany anti-fans for SNSD to disband. What the heck? Seriously, people need lives. If the commenter is reading this, your comment went into my spam folder where it belongs. I personally don’t care about Tiffany or SNSD and while I am an advocate for free speech, I do not want to endorse childish stupidity or bullying when there are so many more serious issues that need the efforts of petitioning.

In other news, has anyone else noticed the increasing reunion tours/concerts/album productions by old disbanded groups? First it was the Spice Girls, and then it was Jewelry (yes, I’m jumping across nations here), then it was X-Japan and now it’s New Kids on the Block. When the Spice Girls first stated that they were going to have a reunion tour I thought to myself, who would be stupid enough to go see them. Well, I found out that there were many stupid people in the world including some of my friends. All I have to say to that is oiy! I didn’t care much for Jewelry and I found their debut song really annoying and sickeningly catchy. I was looking forward to the X-Japan tour and I was hoping to see them in New York if I could get tickets. So much for that. NKOTB…I actually came to Canada just after their craze had died down so I wasn’t really there for their initial hype. Their song Summerdays is really catchy (damn those catchy pop songs!) and I wonder if they will have the same success as the Spice Girls. Anyway, that is all. =)

Episodes 1-8 of We Got Married have been subbed and are available for downloading and streaming. I received this link through a commenter. Thanks Hind! The epsiodes are cut into three parts (all high quality) and they have English hard subs. Thanks subbers and uploaders! CLICK HERE FOR THE DOWNLOADS

You can also read up on the recent news concerning the show at Coolsmurf’s Domain. He has quite a few articles about Solbi and Andy’s promotion of the show, including the latest news of Solbi leaving a drama she’s been acting in by having her character resign due to her upcoming marriage to Andy Lee. Really, they are shamelessly milking their fame through the show, but I guess artists just have to do anything to stay on top.

I’m also excited to see Alex and Shin Ae’s reunion episode. They have already filmed it and will be shown on June 8. Boo! I won’t be here to watch it (I’m going on a trip for two and a half weeks). Oh well, it’s worth waiting for. =)
