101218 The Release of the Full Version of the "NU ABO" MV Filmed by 2PM's Nichkhun, Nichkhun



The full version of a “NU ABO” music video filmed by Nichkhun, from the group, 2PM, has been released and is becoming a hot topic.

The staff of MBC’s public entertainment program “We Got Married” released the “NU ABO” music video on the afternoon of Dec 15 on the program’s home page.

This music video, which was filmed by the “Khuntoria Couple’s” Nichkhun himself and features and appearance by Victoria, is the so-called “Dance Tutorial” made so that Cherlyn, Nichkhun’s youngest sister, could dance along to the “NU ABO” song.

Nichkhun’s younger sister and family, who are in Thailand, watched the music video and their delighted figures were aired on the broadcast. Immediately after the broadcast, viewers flooded the home page with requests such as “I want to watch the full MV version of Nichkhun’s debut work” and “I want Nichkhun’s dance music video to be introduced.” On this day, the Khuntoria couple’s full version of the music video gained a huge reaction, recording a number of inquiries that easily surpassed 50,000 at the time it was broadcast.

The “We Got Married” staff disclosed, “Nichkhun made and edited the video, from beginning to end, by himself. Even though it is his debut work(?*), it has a high-level of merit.” [Photo = “We Got Married” Home Page Screencap]

*t/n: The question mark was in the original article. It probably indicates the questionable use of 'debut work' (in the sense of a filmmaker's debut) for Nichkhun's video.

T-ara members choose IU over fellow group member Jiyeon

T-ara humiliated Jiyeon by favoring same-aged friend IU on a recent episode of SBS ‘Heroes’.

During the episode, the cast members split up into two teams, the ‘Dongkatsu‘ team and the ‘Pasta‘ team, and opened up a restaurant.

Many fans were at the restaurant in support of their favorite stars, with even the cast members’ personal friends coming along to support them.

Jiyeon’s supporters were none other than her fellow T-ara group mates – however, she was neglected by her members once IU entered the restaurant.

The members ever jokingly criticized Jiyeon’s pink outfit. The members said, “What are you wearing. It’s stressful to look at.” To this, Jiyeon gave a stupefied expression and T-ara’s ‘Why Are You Being Like This‘ song started playing in the background, making viewers burst into laughter.

Third week of December's winner is...


First of all, we would like to apologize for the late post today. This week has been a great battle between Sistar,T-ARA and IU but there can only be one winner in the end. We would like to thank to everyone who has participated in this week's voting. Third week of December's winner is... T-ARA! Congratulation to them, this is their third win in a row with their new song "YaYaYa".




I f you have noticed that T-ARA has received large amount of votes this week which instantly made them #1 despite having the third highest online score. Sistar and IU also did extremely well in online score but lost in the voting poll and placed them second and third respectively. Check out the full result below.



Goo Hara pulls out the ‘kkab’ for “Jumping” on “Invincible Youth”

We’d like to introduce the newest member to the ‘kkab‘ family, KARA’s Goo Hara! Goo Hara joined the ranks of 2AM’s Jo Kwon and miss A’s Min with her exaggerated performance of “Jumping” on December 17th episode of “Invincible Youth“.

The girls of “Invincible Youth” competed against each other in a deadly game of musical chairs (but with cushions). When the music cut, they had to race to the other end of the room to secure a cushion in order to stay in the game. Goo Hara was definitely the most vicious of the group, as she screamed and struggled for her champion rights. She even hammed up each individual victory with an ultra-cute pose!

When it whittled down to Goo Hara and T-ara’s Hyomin, Goo Hara tackled her rival before they reached their target, and grabbed the cushion with her 3-second advantage. In the end, she was declared the winner, and celebrated with an enthusiastic performance of “Jumping”.

4minute’s HyunA wants a boyfriend who’d look only at her

During the preview for MBC’s “Bouquet, the girls of 4minute revealed that they wanted boyfriends as Christmas presents. Additional details were disclosed today during the full broadcast of the episode.

MC Kim Yong Man and Jung Hyun Don had asked, “What would you like as gifts for the upcoming Christmas holiday?HyunA answered, “All five of us want boyfriends. Or is that just me? Since we’re adults next year, we want boyfriends who would look only at us.”

Hilariously, fellow member Sohyun trilled, ”Gayoon-unni wants a beef set for Christmas.”

Without skipping a beat, the MCs questioned, “Does that mean she has a boyfriend at the moment then?,” leading Shinsadong Tiger to further add, “Oh, is it that guy you met before?

Gayoon displayed a shocked expression at the turn of questions.

f(x)’s Luna & Sulli dance in front of the Eiffel Tower after losing cook-off

This week’s episode of MBC’s ”f(x) Koala” documented the girls’ final days in Paris.

The four members were given a mission to raise awareness of Korean culture and cuisine. During their homestay with a French family, the girls gave cooking lessons on kimchi pancakes and rice cake soup.

Teams were divided into Vic-mom and Krystal (who tackled the kimchi pancakes), and Luna andSulli for rice cake soup team. In the midst of cooking, Luna suggested, “Since it’s boring just cooking like this, how about we make it a battle? Our homestay family can be the judges of our food. The team that loses has to dance in front of the Eiffel Tower! How about it?

The rest of the members agreed and showed their determination in cooking the best dish possible. The dishes were then served to their homestay family’s mother and daughter, who both showed a positive reaction to Luna and Sulli’s soup, but seemed more enthusiastic about Krystal and Victoria’s pancakes.

It was decided that the winner was Victoria and Krystal, leaving Luna and Sulli to carry out their end of the bet.

Late at night, the team visited the Eiffel Tower and enjoyed Luna and Sulli’s comedic dance performance, despite Luna acting shy in the beginning.

We’ll be updating with a video clip of this performance as soon as we can find one!

T-ara members demonstrate their strength, vocal talents, and food preferences

T-ara’s Jiyeon joined the ranks of ‘powerful female idols’ yesterday on MBC’s “Quiz to Change the World.”

Jiyeon started off by revealing, “My body was so weak, I began learning Tae Kwon Do when I was five in order to get stronger. I took lessons for 7 years and am a level three.”

In order to prove her story, she got up to smash five pine boards stacked one on top of the other, and shocked the studio with her skill. Despite witnessing the feat from the very front row, 2AM’s Jinwoonrefused to believe in her strength: “Did they cut it up beforehand?

Jiyeon then went on to smash eight pine boards easily, making many wonder whether she could do ten. Although she showed confidence in her ability to, the studio became concerned over her safety.

MC Lee Hwi Jae later asked Jinwoon, “Jinwoon, you’re the same age as her. Do you think you can smash 10?” Jinwoon answered with a surprised tone, “Me? The only thing I learned in Tae Kwon Do was how to say, ‘Our teacher is so cool!,‘” putting the studio in a fit of laughter.

Check out Jiyeon’s power display below:

Fellow members Hyomin and Boram appeared alongside Jiyeon for the show as well.

Hyomin prepared special voice imitations for her segment, in which she imitated the voices of Kang Yoomi (“Kang Teacher in the Dressing Room”), An Sung Daek (“Hello, Francesca”), and Jung Jun Ha (“No Brain Survivor”).

She went on to state, “There’s a lot of seniors here today so I prepared a song that everyone would know. I would like to dedicate this song to Lee Jung, who was just discharged from the marines.” Hyomin then began playing a guitar and showed off her hidden vocal skills by singing, “I’ll Give You All of My Love.”

Check out the video of her performance below:

T-ara later received a question from MC Park Misun, asking, “Which member has the most old-fashioned tastes?”

Leader Boram answered, “It’s actually 18 year old maknae Jiyeon. You’d think that she’d like sweet foods such as cheesecakes or chocolates, but she actually likes heavy, spicy foods such as ’sundaeguk’ (blood sausage in beef stock) and ‘haejangguk’ (soup eaten for hangovers).”

2AM’s Changmin, who observed her answer, added, “Compared to our maknae Jinwoon, Jiyeon is on the more luxurious side. Jinwoon enjoys eating skate, marsh snail, and haejangguk as well. We always make fun of him by saying he’s 20 years old, but his eating preferences makes him seem like he’s 80.

f(x)’s Sulli offends Victoria and Luna with her age

f(x)’s maknae Sulli made a cute statement in response to the complaints of fatigue her older members were making during an episode of MBC Every1’s “f(x) Koala.”

The recent episode focused on the group waking up to a new morning for their Parisian adventure.

While getting ready for the day, Victoria and Luna immediately began chatting about their busy night and how they weren’t able to get much sleep at all. Victoria stated, “Last night, our car broke down so we arrived late. We weren’t even able to sleep much and had to rush back out.” Luna added, “I feel cold, I have a headache, I think I have a cold!”

Sulli, who quietly observed the members’ complaints, later commented, “Maybe it’s because I’m young, but I’m not like that.”

Victoria and Luna immediately revealed their dark facial expressions, leading Sulli to look away while murmuring an apology. The screen then added the captions ‘1987′ under Victoria’s face, and ‘1993′ under Luna’s face.

On a side note, f(x)’s stay in France gave Koreans an opportunity to see the girls’ popularity and the power of the Hallyu wave overseas. MBC’s news desk reported on the Hallyu wave in Paris, which can be viewed in the video below.

Anchorman Choi Il Ku stated, “Parisian teens waited out on the streets to catch a glimpse of f(x), complete with handmade placards.”

Bullies stole money from a younger Sohyun, she claims

4minute’s Sohyun revealed an incident where she was mugged by bullies when she was an elementary school student.

On the December 19th episode of MBC’s ”Bouquet,” Sohyun stated, “This is an upsetting story, but when I was in elementary school, I was a part of a group called ‘Orange‘. At a subway station, I ran into a couple of rebellious students and they pulled me to a shady corner. They then took away my money and ordered me to dance and sing.

Sohyun then got up and entertained the studio by showing the song and dance she performed for the bullies.

We’re sure it must’ve been traumatizing for her back then, but it’s good to see her laugh about it now. We’ll update with the video once it’s posted!

Victoria, “Nichkhun, a person one can not help but like” protrayal of affections


Victoria showing affections for husband, Khun, has attracted much attention.

In the MBC WGM’s 18th broadcast, the continuation of Khuntoria’s Thailand trip was revealed. That day, as the tourism ambassador for Thailand, Nichkhun had a media event. During the interview, he answered all the questions smoothly, capturing Victoria’s awe.
Victoria said: “There is no way [I] can not, not like Khun,” “he is truly too perfect a person, he wasn’t at all nervous during the interview, answering those questions smoothly, so very handsome/cool.”
Also, Vichkhun that day, in front of all other media reporters, became a one-day reporter. Before the media event, Nichkhun invited Victoria to attend the afternoon event. Victoria accepted his invitation, further wanting to ask “shocking question.”
Victoria asked Nichkhun: “The differences after marriage.”
Nichkhun answered: “After marriage, there are much more things [I] worry about.” “Worried about if Victoria will get hurt, will get sick, seeing her on countryside program (referring to IY) working laboriously, I want to do it for her, want to wipe off her sweat,” etc. revealing an abundance of affections.
Also, Thai media recognized Victoria, prompting light bulbs flashing and much attention. One reporter asked Nichkhun, “In reality, do you also want to marry Victoria?” This question made Nichkhun extremely nervous and answered, “at this point, it’s still controllable,” capturing everyone’s attention.
