The 2nd of four short posts today. A news update each for two Korean girl bands, Girls’ Generation and Wonder Girls.

First up, So Nyeo Shi Dae. Tickets for their upcoming Asian concert tour were sold out in three minute last week. You did not read wrong. THREE minutes. I guess every lonesome Asian guy out there is finally catching on to this great phenomenon. They are scheduled for two concerts in Seoul on December 19th and 20th, then they move on to Shanghai and Bangkok. [More at The Chosun Ilbo]

Next, Wonder Girls. The Wonder Girls are scheduled to appear and perform on the popular show So You Think You Can Dance next week. They’re going to perform their latest US released single “Nobody”. [More at StarEastAsia] Music Video Below:

I don’t really know why they were invited to perform at SYTYCD, their dancing in the MV has nothing compared to SNSD’s “Chocolate Love” in the video above. Ah well, hope they put on a good show.

I just recently watched Super Junior’s music video for their song “Sorry Sorry”, the latest of my recent fascination with Korean pop music. I’m sure it will fade soon, only if Yuri from SNSD somehow leaves the group. But if HyoHyeon leaves, my fascination will continue infinitely:

The political correctness and questionable part starts around 0:37 when the chorus begins. Its not that obvious, but you wonder if they’re singing the n-word, and they repeat it again and again and again..

Kind of how Chinese people when they speak Mandarin and they’re trying to decide what to eat at a fast food restaurant..

Go Russell Peters. Just a word of warning for African-North Americans out there who may stumble upon Super Junior (honestly, it sounds like a weird porno film title). Don’t hate on the Koreans, they don’t hate black people.

Warning: This post will be short, random and kind of lame.

So I was on my way walking towards a friends place to watch Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone, (3rd time watching it FTW!) and then I bursted into laughter because I saw this:

Then, this was my train of thought, “GEE! GEE! GEE! GEE! … I Jooooooeeee!!”
And I thought of this, and cracked up even more.

And to top it off, Girl’s Generation’s Gee music video..but DANCE version

For the past two weeks or so, I’ve adopted a daily ritual. I’ve been somewhat traumatized by the horrors of Paranormal Activity as my threshold for ghost movies is not very high. And I watched it not once, but twice. So in order to ease the trauma and to have as much nightly rest as possible, my ritual involves watching the following to videos before I go to sleep:

And!!

SNSD, or So Nyeo Shi Dae (少女時代) means Girl’s Generation, which is another name they go by, is a 9 person girl band (but really there are only 8 members) from Korea. They have been my saviors. Thanks to them I don’t dream of creepy white chicks staring over me as a sleep, but rather I dream of 9 (minus 1) girls fulfilling all my wishes and fantasies of female manikins, pilots and sailors.

To the main point. One of the members of SNSD, Jessica, is set to act and sing in the leading role of the Korean Legally Blonde musical.

Jessica is the one in the middle. See how she is noticeably more eye-catching than the other two? And also how her hair is more orange than blonde? I don’t have a point here, just thought I’d point that out. Enjoy!
