Pop o’ link: what’s going on around the web

0512-200-pounds-beauty.jpg

  • 200 Pound Beauty is getting remade in the US and Kim A-Joong is set to become the next hallyu star. Congrats A-Joong and fans, get ready to see the Americanized 200 Pound Beauty. Daily Dumpling
  • Rain is working hard to learn English. What’s he doing? Taking English lessons and watching US tv shows like “OC” and “Prison Break.” What?? No Greys in the list – I’m disappointed! Shenyuepop
  • Pop group Foxy’s member, Daham exposed her breast on stage while performing. To add insult to injury, it happened three times before somebody came to the rescue. Did the stylist get fired yet? English Chosun
  • Shinhwa’s shorty or Minwoo or M is also crossing over to the states. When? June 28th. Why? He’s very ambitious and CJ Music officials believe that he can make it here. KBS Global
  • Que Sera Sera fans gathered to express their opinion of the drama over at javabeans
  • Just in case you missed it, Colbert’s piece on Rain. I find it hilarious even the second, third and the fourth time around. God Bless Colbert!

    I loved 200 pound beauty! US ppl always remake everything!

    LOL that video clip was funny, but in a way it wasn’t really nice to make fun of someone’s success….

    I just can’t resist to comment on this post. Congrats to Kim A-Joong. Look like Minwoo is getting ahead of Rain & Se7en whose news are blasting that they’re releasing album in US, but never see anything.

    I came to US when I was 12 yrs old. I also spent hours watching TV shows, but it took few yrs to speak English well. (And no, not from watching TV, from interacting w/ people who speak English and classes). I don’t know Rain might be smarter (his fans claim) at it. Also, I can guess how Rain’s english will be like..hahaha. My advice to him is that it’s not hard to hear and understand English. You know when people curse at you (maybe b/c of your bad music), but how you will response w/ your broken 5th-grade English is most important.

    hmm but plastic surgery doesnt have such cultural encompassment (?) in the US

  10. 10 bzy May 13, 2007 at 9:57 am

    hmm.. this show is promoting plastic surgery to the max..not a very good thing!

    i think rain would become fluent enough to speak english by practicing himself to speak english everytime he speaks… he should also watch cnn news, american dramas and talk shows… it must be a tough one for him…

    Colbert is gonna be all over Bi like egg is over bimbimbap. Oh man, I’m scared for Bi. hahahaaha :)

    It doesn’t surprise me that they’d make a U.S version of 200lbs Of Beauty. U.S is sooo unoriginal.Also, the fact that despite the ppl who watch it on the net and tv with or w/out subtitles, that majority of the U.S are willing to watch asian dramas with subtitles because they don’t want to read O_o hence the reason why schools are so lacking here.anywhooo….

    ROFL the Colber dude is stupid hahaha and that was one of the most worst attempts trying to speak korean. Omgoodness it was so obvious they got their info from Bi from you tube lol haha I came across that segment of him a lot on the y.t. He’s really lame I just noticed, I too am lame, but lame isn’t that lame hahaha anywho komawoyo for the clip
