Year end 2007 SBS Music Awards

20071230SBS_leehyori_leehuijae2

Lee Hyori has got to be laughing at the bib.

The SBS Music Awards rounded up the best in music on one stage. Big name music acts showed their stuff by singing covers of hit songs from the past and present -Big Bang, Yangpa, 1tym, Jinusean, Epik High, Wondergirls, JYP, Girl’s Generation, Baek Ji-young, Chae Yeon, Suh In-young, SG Wannabe, FT Island, Stephanie, Cherry Filter, Clazziquai etc.

Some of the big names (under the same management) came together to share the same stage - JYP Entertainment (JYP and Wondergirls), YG Family (Jinusean, Se7en, 1tym Big Bang) and SM Entertainment.

MC’s of the night were the sexy Lee Hyori and the bib wearing Lee Hui-jae.

Check out the music and style.

20071230SBS_brian Brian wears the color of night - boring black.

20071230SBS_chaeyeonminwoosuhinstephanie20071230SBS_chaeyeonminwoosuhinstephanie1 Chae yeon, Suh In-young and Stephanie share a stage. All are in something super short and unsexy.

20071230SBS_FTisland Watch FT Island vs Younha here. After watching their performance, we are thinking - why sing English songs if you sound like a fool? Granted though, girl can carry a tune.

20071230SBS_girlsgeneration20071230SBS_girlsgeneration120071230SBS_girlsgeneration320071230SBS_girlsgeneration420071230SBS_girlsgeneration5 Girls Generation. Can’t tell any of them apart. They could easily be substituted for Wondergirls and no one would know the difference because both groups can’t sing.

MC’s of the night- Lee hyori & Lee huijae. Miss Hyori finally dresses to use her best assets - her envious chest. The pale blue dress hugs all the right curves. Woman (finally) looks gorgeous because we don’t see the backside. Her partner, on the other hand, looks like he is ready to chow down on some lobster with his bib.

20071230SBS_leehyuk_leesooni

Lee Hyuk gives respect with the 90 degree bow for his sonbae Lee Sooni

20071230SBS_paekjiyoung_leesuyoung_yangpa

The trio of Yangpa, Baek Jiyoung and Lee Suyoung start off their performance with a slow song wearing full length gowns but then rip off the lower part of expose their minis…. check out their performance here.

20071230SBS_leesuyoung

Lee Suyoung is another mini wearing singer. This time in bare legs.

20071230SBS_paekjiyoung

Baek Ji Young looks much older with the short permed hair. There is a reason why the stylish avoid this hairstyle. It’s the ajumma hair.

200712300SBS_yangpa

Yangpa. Her curves look great until you follow the line down and see the awkward clunky shoes. The sparkle dress and black nylons and shoes don’t match. We know that she is trying to pull off the sexy-cute image but it’s not working.

20071230SBS_se7en Se7en. Rain may get all the hype, but the better ESL student is quietly gearing up in the U.S. for his “comeback”.

20071230SBS_seeya20071230SBS_seeya1

See Ya. Another pop act that is trying to bridge the sexy & cute - but does Nam Gyu-ri and her girls succeed? Watch their performance with SG Wannabe and FT Island here.

20071230SBS_SGwannabe

SG Wannabe are another group in black n’ white. Watch their performance with See Ya and FT Island here.

20071230SBS_shinhwa The all black Shinhwa give it their all to screaming fans. What’s new? Watch their performance here.

20071230SBS_yoonha_FTisland

Yoonha & FT Island. The girl’s got a good set of pipes compared to FT Island.

200712300SBS_bigbangjinusean1tymwoorin200712300SBS_bigbangjinusean1tymwoorin1

Big Bang, 1TYM, Jinusean, Se7en. Watch YG Family’s performance here.

200712300SBS_epikhighdynamoduodrunkentiger200712300SBS_epikhighdynamoduodrunkentiger1 Epik High Dynamic Duo Drunken Tiger with their performance here.

200712300SBS_horan_cherryfilter

Cherry Filter & Clazziquai (Horan) add their rock presence to the predominantly hiphop stage. Check out their performance here.

200712300SBS_hwanhee

Hwanhee in black and white. wow.

200712300SBS_jinusean

Jinusean. Part of the YG family. Watch their performance here.

200712300SBS_JYPwondergirls200712300SBS_JYPwondergirls1200712300SBS_JYPwondergirls2200712300SBS_JYPwondergirls3200712300SBS_JYPwondergirls4

JYP with the Wondergirls. Wow. all in black and white. Seriously, if they were singing another song, they could be Girls Generation. Check out the JYP and Wondergirls’ rendition of “Honey.” (JYP, Lim Jeong-Hee, Wonder Girls, G-Soul, Min) performance here.

200712300SBS_leeminwoo Lee Minwoo all in black. Surprise.

200712300SBS_MCmong_haha200712300SBS_MCmong_haha1200712300SBS_MCmong_haha2 HaHa joins MC Mong on stage. Again, all black and white. Watch it here.

200712300SBS_min

Min. JYP’s next up and coming star keeps it simple and cute baring only her tight midriff in silver baggy pants and a cropped simple turtleneck. However, the voice and the music are out of sync. Could be the clip but doubt it. Check out the JYP Family (JYP, Lim Jeong-Hee, Wonder Girls, G-Soul, Min) performance here.

200712300SBS_stephanie200712300SBS_stephanie1200712300SBS_stephanie2200712300SBS_stephanie3200712300SBS_stephanie4 Stephanie. Notice in the first picture the bruises on her legs from her dance routine. She should really have worn the ugly stockings that Chae Yeon was wearing.

200712300SBS_suhinyoung200712300SBS_suhinyoung1200712300SBS_suhinyoung2200712300SBS_suhinyoung3

Suh In-young favors the spread legs move. Countless pictures of the woman have been posted on POPSEOUL!.

    M.net had a ’special stage’ with their artists too.
    - Seeya
    - Choshinsung
    - SG Wannabe
    - FT Island

    People always forget that not everyone is from JYPE, SM, or YG. :x

  4. 4 liz December 30, 2007 at 5:26 pm

  6. 6 phreaque December 30, 2007 at 5:42 pm

    why didn’t the make-up artist conceal Stephanie’s bruises?

    Clazziquai and Cherry Filter rocked it! If only there were more alternative acts in the K-industry and less of the prepackaged, slick and uninspiring stuff.

  7. 7 mango December 30, 2007 at 5:45 pm

    ROFL! this is funny - why are most of them wearing black and/or white?
    LOL newaiz.
    SHINHWA CHANGJO!

    I think Lee huijae wore the bib to prevent himself from drooling over Hyori!

  9. 9 kat December 30, 2007 at 5:51 pm

    SM isn’t even worth mentioning anymore? :)

  10. 10 ... December 30, 2007 at 5:57 pm

    I think sm will not be sm without dbsk, and suju.

  11. 11 Angie December 30, 2007 at 5:58 pm

  15. 15 lyn December 30, 2007 at 6:20 pm

    I just watched JYP entertainment perf. I thought it was okay. Thing that really blew me away was JYP dance performance with the screen. Holly bananas, that was like amazing. I really like the song too.

    here is the video. Pleae oh please, can someone tell me what song that is. I swear, it sounded so familiar.
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=w1nrWnPUBFE
    The song and screen dancing starts at 7:31

    thanks much in advance.

  16. 16 penguin_x3 December 30, 2007 at 6:50 pm

    YG will always be the best cause they actually sing LIVE. who the hell cares about SM their nothing. DBSK will do way better without them

    YG FOREVER!!!

  17. 17 AS December 30, 2007 at 7:09 pm

    Anyone else want to barf at the end when that Pimp from High Kick was pretending to cry, rubbing his eyes until they were red–with no eye water coming out?

  18. 18 jaime December 30, 2007 at 7:18 pm

    this one doesnt seem so quirky. not that i am complaining.. i was hoping for more fun bashing. popseoul, you should say more! hehe. ^^

    nothing about the music drama?

  19. 19 HappyKpopLover December 30, 2007 at 7:41 pm

    What happened to SM? Where’s their game? I watched their performance on youtube last because I thought they would be the best, not because I like the artists but just because it’s SM. So i was surprised that SM’s performance was so unbelievably weak compared to YG Family and JYPE. It hardly left an impression. I thought it was a horrible idea to make a tribute to their old artists using the new ones. It just makes everyone compare them and see that the junior artists they have now are nowhere near as great as their seniors. I was most horrfied when Suju sang DBSk’s Hug and SNSD sang Boa’s No. 1. It just made me realize that all those people on stage can’t beat the presence, singing skills or charisma of the 5 Dong bang Boys or Boa herself. That just made me sad. On a happier note though Shinwha’s and YG family’s performances totally blew me away.

  20. 20 junsufan December 30, 2007 at 7:57 pm

    SM is nothing w/o DBSK, seriously and BoA. However, SNSD > WG in singing. sohee screwed up so bad for the so called song war…

  21. 21 Orangehaji December 30, 2007 at 8:25 pm

    Shinhwa-ThrowMyFist 1st time perf..I’m a screaming fan.Shinhwa is Shinhwa.Shinhwa is legend and they touch/warm my heart..THANKS POPSEOUL!!!

  22. 22 hmm December 30, 2007 at 8:25 pm

    that would be lee juk and in soonee.

  23. 23 jyyjc December 30, 2007 at 8:49 pm

    i like hyori’s dress and the big bang-wonder girls little music drama thing!

  24. 24 Dumpling December 30, 2007 at 8:51 pm

    Her envious chest?? LMAO!!!

  25. 25 BKJSuh December 30, 2007 at 9:33 pm

    Don’t really care abouy YG.

    Glad to hear FT and MC Mong was there.

    Too bad no one from SM.

    Shinhwa? Nice.

  26. 26 gooberpie December 30, 2007 at 9:40 pm

    popseoul I bet you’re a fat little c0ck sucker huh lol..this is by far the worst blog site I’ve ever come across. You, the writer should commit suidcide…seriously..someone like Perez, who talks alot of sh*t and is actually funny and not a dumb cunt like you. =P you’re just plain retarded to be honest. there’s no better insult. I hope your mother gets raped and has her throat slit, she should be killed for bringing such a piece of garbage into this world, that worthless whore.

  27. 27 saewon December 30, 2007 at 10:13 pm

    to whoever gooberpie is:
    it’s popseoul’s blog so popseoul can write whatever she wants whether you like it or not.

  28. 28 Jackie December 30, 2007 at 10:14 pm

    calm down gooberpie — you sound like a worthless piece of garbage yourself writing all that crap over a blog– haha i bet you’re a disgruntled fanboy/girl? Grow some thicker skin! YG performance was AMAZING!
    Wonder girls PWNS SNSD and Hyori looked really pretty ^^

  29. 29 gooberpie December 30, 2007 at 10:40 pm

    LOL …wtf? did you see me defend any group / singer? lol SUJU sucks, DBSG sucks, se7en sucks and good lord we all know SNSD and WG suck beyond any of them lol the rest, eh…who are they lol…don’t assume things, I’m just not a fan of Popseoul’s writing. In my own personal opinion it’s horrible and they should be shot in the mouth.

  30. 30 gooberpie December 30, 2007 at 10:41 pm

    Btw - I never said popseoul couldn’t write what they wanted to. It’s the internet, and comments are an option on this “blog” which means I can write whatever the hell I want to about it. =)

  31. 31 whatever~ December 30, 2007 at 10:54 pm

    omg at Stephanie’s legs those are some painful looking bruises, anyways I was pretty disappointed at FT Island in the battle of Rookies or whatever it was called, I believe HongKi didn’t learn well the lyrics or something but he screwed up the collab with Younha. Younha on the other side was awesome as always. Also in this Rookies thing I was pretty satisfied with WG & SNSD perfs. Honestly I love So Hee but she really went off when it was her turn to sing, the others WGs were alright, SNSD sang mostly together so you couldn’t really notice if someone was off and they sounded good most of the time.

    Ah and @ gooberpie : Get a life.

  32. 32 yuko December 30, 2007 at 10:58 pm

    SNSD did an awesome job! They were good at singing and dancing , WG was good too but I can’t stand So Hee’s singing. and Taeyeon totally pwns.

  33. 33 funkoffan December 30, 2007 at 10:59 pm

    Good performances all round - but please give Suh In Young a mars bar or a protein shake or something cos she looks ill. (and not in a high fashion kind of way either)

  34. 34 tc December 30, 2007 at 11:06 pm

    “I can write whatever the hell I want to about it.”

    Yeah, real classy. Just because you can be an ass, it doesn’t mean you have to prove it to everyone.

  35. 35 Blahblahbon December 30, 2007 at 11:15 pm

    You’re retarded Popseoul, while you’re staring at their clothes, other people, like myself, are actually watching their PERFORMANCES. Who cares what they wore, as long as they rocked it on stage?

  36. 36 teabag December 30, 2007 at 11:18 pm

    OLD NEWS!

    Post MBC 연기대상 NOW!
    배용준/Bae Young-Joon looks so stupid with his crutches!

  37. 37 gooberpie December 30, 2007 at 11:24 pm

    @tc - And just because popseoul can have an opinion doesn’t mean that they have to express it? lol that doesn’t make any sense what you said. popseoul is allowed to be two horrible retarded waste of lives and express their senseless opinions to whomever….Because…? and I’m not…because..I don’t have to? lol…retard.

    Just because you don’t like or agree with my opinion doesn’t mean theres anything wrong with it, nor does it mean that I can’t have it. =)

    Like I said before, I hope popseoul, the both of you get skinned alive, you’re worthless garbage.

  38. 38 Yunie December 30, 2007 at 11:26 pm

    gooberpie, drinking a lot from that haterade? You hate the artists and you hate Popseoul. Wow. Go hate yourself for being an idiot, please.

  39. 39 rimsky December 30, 2007 at 11:34 pm

    no super junior?

  40. 40 Di December 30, 2007 at 11:56 pm

    omg Stephanie! She needs a break. What the hell has she been doing to her legs. geez. x.x

  41. 41 blah... December 30, 2007 at 11:56 pm

    No the grace?

  42. 42 Doggy Supreme December 30, 2007 at 11:59 pm

    In The Fourth Pic Stephanie And Her Dancers Look Stoned…

  43. 43 Annie December 31, 2007 at 12:04 am

    Take it easy. Popseoul is obviously amusing, otherwise why would it have so many supporters/readers. Heck if you don’t like the way she writes then don’t read it. Its as easy as that.

    I love Hyori’s blue dress. It looks amazing on her. You’re right the bib looks ridiculous. What was he thinking? Its nice seeing Se7en, Shinhwa and 1tym back on stage. Finally people with some talent. As for wonder girls, girl generation, and whatever other new girl group there is.. ahh boring.. I can’t tell the different between any of them. Wait are they even different? You sure they’re not just clones of one another?

  44. 44 T December 31, 2007 at 12:05 am

    way to butcher the names of the best performers of the night

    (oh, and totally leave out 13 of them)

  45. 45 ji-in December 31, 2007 at 12:07 am

    T_T

    is seohyun wearing a wig or is that me?

    good for yg though, bringing back se7en. make sure he’s not forgotten.

  46. 46 Mimi December 31, 2007 at 1:13 am

    YG Family perf was awesome! The JYP one was good too. I didn’t pay much attention to the SM one. :/

  47. 47 jgirl4you December 31, 2007 at 1:36 am

    Se7en !!!

  48. 48 Whatever December 31, 2007 at 2:02 am

    Instead of running off your stupid mouths at how much you hate Popseoul’s writing, go and write a better blog since it’s such a big deal to you.

    I like reading Popseoul, I don’t need everything I read to be an in-depth critical review complete with backstory. Grow up, you guys.

    And why is SNSD STILL doing that dance, show us something new for goodness sake.

  49. 49 Bigbang December 31, 2007 at 2:18 am

    YG FAMILY <3
    DEFINITELY the best performance of the night.
    & i hate those sm artists for completely destroying DBSK’S HUG.

  50. 50 requiem December 31, 2007 at 2:47 am

    As much as I’ve grown to like Wondergirls (minus Sohee of course..), they really should start practicing even more on their live singing, because obviously, when they are dancing and singing, they cannot carry a tune. SNSD’s performance was okay but of course there are some parts where they are out of tune. kind of a disappointment from both groups since they are the so called “new faces of k-pop”

  51. 51 Brina December 31, 2007 at 2:52 am

    OMFG Clazzi and Epik High look great as usual. =D I think Yangpa’s outfit and shoes are fitting.

  52. 52 Jade December 31, 2007 at 2:58 am

    YAH!
    Of Course girls generation can sing!
    I bet you can’t even sing!

  53. 53 tenretni December 31, 2007 at 3:10 am

    1TYM!!!!!!! OMG! I’ve been waiting and my prayers have been answered..lol.. YG sstill has it nd that new rapper girl kinda b lew me away…Can’t believe Jin hwa came, isn’t he supposed to be in the army?

    shinhwa rocket MY world!!! and shinhwa changjo was there to represent…OMG!! I think they were the best performance of the night…

    Watched the Divas and big disappointment… But lee soo young finally bearing some skin was a wow…she was working it, as Tyra would say, like rent was due tomorrow…

    Urg..The skank army showed up… Seon in young needs to freaking close those legs…and stephanie shouldn’t hang out with those ladies, bad for business…

    Anyone seen Fly to the sky’s performance??

  54. 54 angela December 31, 2007 at 3:31 am

    its lee juk not lee hyuk

    and in sooni not lee sooni

    nice try though

  55. 55 DT December 31, 2007 at 3:51 am

    YG’s and JYP ent performances were both awesome. YG was my favorite tho. They showed u the oldies and the new comers. Sm on the other hand isn’t even worth talking about.

  56. 56 haru December 31, 2007 at 5:45 am

    what are you talking about.. wonder girls sings WAY better than girls generation. they ACTUALLY SING! GG doesnt do crap! how dare you put them in the same level?!?!?!?!?!

  57. 57 janepak December 31, 2007 at 5:45 am

    I though JYP’s performance with the family was actually amazing. Gsoul and Min were amazing~

    YG’s performance was pretty good even though “lies” was a bit weird since jinusean was doing some and that kinda style isn’t their original genre lol

    and Younha ..i love younha~
    younha can speak english..hongki shouldn’t be allowed to sing it until he can pronounce it well enough…

  58. 58 wink_wink_ December 31, 2007 at 5:45 am

    oh my buddha..luv yg family’s performance..that was the hit..jyp on the other hand was good as well..i didnt even bother to watch sm’s performance..im pretty sure its a waste of my time to watch it..

    who we are?..yg family family family…

  59. 59 youngjarr December 31, 2007 at 5:46 am

    i miss dbsk :(

  60. 60 wow December 31, 2007 at 6:37 am

    gooberpie the stuff u wrote can barely count as “opinions”
    they’re just mindless child blab.

    before you talk trash about those great artists, keep in mind that you’re still a noname nobody while their music is being played everywhere

  61. 61 Karen December 31, 2007 at 6:57 am

    Eck Stephanie’s legs… lol. She should have worn something better to cover them up…
    Poor thing.

  62. 62 bloo December 31, 2007 at 7:44 am

    You seem picky. I mean guys can only pull off two colors: black & white. If they wear another color, you’ll probably be making fun of them anyway. Either way, you still have something to complain about. Win win for you I guess.

    I miss anything YG that isn’t Big Bang.

  63. 63 Korean Ajusshi December 31, 2007 at 8:00 am

    gooberpie, dude, you’re certainly no better and far less than popseoul for writing all those profane, poisonous, hateful words… grow up, kid, or get some help…, seriously.

    As for the b&w attires: maybe they were trying to look formal(!) and dignified(?), like it was some snobbish, high-class event?

  64. 64 wassuppppp December 31, 2007 at 8:27 am

    I LOVED THESE PERFORMANCESSSS!!!
    it presented most of the best from the past and the present! :D

  65. 65 taeyoung December 31, 2007 at 8:35 am

    so who got what

  66. 66 KanginsFutureGF December 31, 2007 at 8:43 am

    hehe..
    my shinhwa boyz rock!!!
    LOL…
    my mom and dad watched this last night here…

  67. 67 yetaz December 31, 2007 at 8:51 am

    lol..nam gyuri and her girls..should be lee yeonji and her b*tches..the only one who can sing live.

  68. 68 nickie December 31, 2007 at 9:35 am

    younha has a wonderful voice and her dress here was cute:D
    i hope you can include more news about her, if possible. thx

  69. 69 randomperson December 31, 2007 at 9:35 am

    I thought the SBS Music Awards totally rocked. I liked the idea that it was a night full of collaborations- especially between the newcomers and the old established “legends”. It showed there is a respect towards senior artists in the business and a caring affection towards the new idols of the generation. I LOVED the idea of having the three major (or at least most well known) entertainment companies perform on their own stage. This year SBS showed truly shined. It was a night of tying music through the generations

    To HappyKpopLover, it was just Sm that gave tribute to their old artists. YG Family had songs that was from 1tym, etc. JYP is old school himself (i mean that in a good way- if you minus the total obvious homosexual tendencies he have). I think the main difference from SM and the other two entertainment’s performance was the fact that the JYP and YG family had old artist who were “pillars” that held the performance.

    Granted i think Big Bang was a force onto themselves. I think they are great performers with good songs. Add them with 1tym (who was YG own Legend) and Seven? how can you beat that?

    And seriously I just don’t like WG or SNSD or SUJU or CSJH “the Grace”. I don;t have anything against them. I just never liked any of their songs. And they are vocals are immature in my opinion. hopefully it’ll improve geven more practice. I think that is why SM performance failed. they didnt have the senoirs to help the new comers, who i have to say lack in stage charisma.

    SUJU does have charisma-in television, in comdey shows, in talk shows. I truly enjoy their screen time in tv shows. But sincerely i think they lack stage charisma. I never liked any of their live performances and i doubt i ever will.

    Anyways. I liked Shinwa’s performance. I think they deserve their place in Kpop as a “legend”. I am so sad that we have to wait another ..4 or 5 years for them to perform together again. But by then i am sure they will evolve musically to somethign less mainstream and something more “soulful”. or at least that is what i hope.

    YG rocked the STAGE! dayumm
    1tym! jinusean! se7en looked damn good
    JYP was pretty good too! :)
    i was dissapointed in SM..their performances were much weaker. i thought they’d do better w/ their two 2 main groups in korean, suju and snsd. hm..

    hyori looked gorgeous. no doubt.

  71. 71 joyce December 31, 2007 at 9:49 am

    gooberpie.. youre no better anyway..
    you sound like a stupid, immature 10 year old

    yg and shinhwa’s performances are the best that night..
    i never thought id see 1tym + shinhwa + se7en perform in the same stage this year… and then this..
    thank you sbs

    @ phreaque: the seotaiji tribute on DEC 1 had a pretty good lineup of krock bands. a nice showcase i must say!

  73. 73 Jenny December 31, 2007 at 10:00 am

    I’m still at the age where a lot of cutesy stuff still gets to me and I think that’s why SM appeals to me more then other entertainment singers. They aim for the girls in their teens and most of their songs have that childish theme to it that makes me love them so. Not to say I don’t like any other artists or entertainment companies, but I just prefer SM’s whole image for their artists.

    I thought the SM stage was very entertaining and it was great to just listen to all those songs that their sunbaes have sung in the past, especially ending it with [Hope] which was a beautiful way to end the performance and really a great song to end the year.

    Something that is slowly starting to disappoint me is the fact that Nam Gyuri is beginning to be the main face and how do you say…pretty face? When I had heard of Seeya I was excited because it was suppose to be a talented group that was trained by SG Wannabe, though I don’t listen to a lot, enjoy watching their performances. But now it’s nothing more then Nam Gyuri and her backups who sing lines, but because she’s prettier, the camera will give her more screen time and leave the other two out. Just like the way they design the outfits for their [Toxic] performance. Nam Gyuri wore the same black outfit as her other two members, but also was wearing a red corset that just made her stick out. The camera only followed her and if I didn’t know that the other two girls were memebers of Seeya, then I would have thought she had gone solo and was doing her big debut there.

    Wonder Girls…well I really only liked [Tell Me] and only that was because my friend wouldn’t stop playing it around me and I got sucked into the whole craze. Truth to be told, they do need work and well when they first came out with [Irony] I just ignored them completely.

    I haven’t gotten around to watching the many other performances, but I do have to say it was one of the more satisfying shows to end the year.

  74. 74 ignore this! blah! December 31, 2007 at 11:00 am

    gooberpie:ur an idiot.
    id say u write n think like a 10 y.okid but. i really dont wanna diss the kid.

    Woop! Seeya! ehh all i see is NGR. Loved her but way too much faceetime to the SHK lookalike. se7even looks ..different is it me? <3 Big Bang n Yg Family is definitely chongmal jinja jinja V.I.P

  75. 75 ae December 31, 2007 at 11:04 am

    the 5 girls from snsd that performed first during the rookie battle were awful. seo hyun’s wig (please tell me its a wig) makes her look too much like seo in young and seo in young looks terrible with her new hair.

    if the super rookie battle was a 4 way battle instead of wg vs snsd and younha vs ft island then younha would’ve won hands down cause that girl has amazing vocals. her first little bit was fantastic.

  76. 76 Ann*e December 31, 2007 at 11:20 am

    i love younha! go girl~ :D

  77. 77 Natz December 31, 2007 at 12:30 pm

  78. 78 Min A December 31, 2007 at 1:03 pm

    everyone seems to be going short and sexy to this ceremony…where are the rest of the CSJH girls? i would have never thought stephanie would join chae yeon and suh in young for a special stage…lee hyori should’ve done it instead. ultimately i think YG and JYP ruled the stage…can’t believe super junior wasn’t there (was it b/c of the Kang In incident?).

  79. 79 singlemom0511 December 31, 2007 at 1:13 pm

    Love Shin Hwa!!It’s really nice to see them perform together again..There are also good Korean boy group but Shin Hwa is Shin Hwa!!They simply ROCK!!!btw, Eric still look HOT even with the bun,lol!

  80. 80 person December 31, 2007 at 1:40 pm

    not to be rude or anything but why do you always insult people!! i mean they are the ones on TV they are the popular ones and yet you only criticize them!! i mean you are only voicing your opinion but you could do that without being so harsh! and again not to be rude they are the ones on stage while you just write about it sorry for my extreme rudeness

  81. 81 christine December 31, 2007 at 2:02 pm

    I just watched a couple of the performances and it seems that it was a really good show. The only thing is that when Seeya, or rather Gyuri was performing Toxic … she was missing the attitude needed to pull off the song, it came off too cutsy and almost naive - but good for her for trying.

  82. 82 anecia December 31, 2007 at 2:03 pm

    -person-
    It makes the blog interesting…If people want a decent report like “Oh SM perform they weere great…WG perform they were great too and cute blah blah blah”,they can go read a newspaper.

    Love YG’s perf

  83. 83 panshel December 31, 2007 at 2:06 pm

    YG Family indisputably owned the night with their show-stopping performance. In second place, I favor the M.net Media performance. Minus the countless shots of Nam Gyu Ri, the artists and audience alike seemed to be having tons of fun.

  84. 84 aeri December 31, 2007 at 3:30 pm

    i’ve only seen bits of SM’s special stage (only suju’s parts) and if that’s any indications about how the rest of it will be then i imagine that their special stage was terrible. i personally enjoyed YG’s and Mnet’s special stage, JYP’s was only ok.

  85. 85 abc December 31, 2007 at 4:04 pm

    HEY!!!
    you didnt write about super junior!!
    and you made every one misunderstand that super junior did not go!
    u better write them in there!!!

  86. 86 charitee December 31, 2007 at 4:34 pm

    eh. sbs music awards were all right. wow. they totally weren’t obvious with the whole sm, jyp ent and yg love. sadly for sm and jyp ent, yg’s “showcase” owned and then some. it was the only performance, besides the musical drama, that i watched over and over again.

    i felt like sbs had prepared some combinations that had the potential to be really good but the delivery was just terrible. the below par delivery was probably due to lack of time to prepare. some of the performances made me cringe >.<

    best performances of the night:
    -yg family’s performance was definitely the shiz. they seriously know how to work the stage and they’re really in sync with each other. they all just mesh really really well. it’s probably because they do A LOT of collaborations.
    -musical drama [not really a performance, but whatever]. a little corny and sometimes awkward, but really funny and super cute. wg+bb<3
    -epik high + drunken tiger + dynamic duo was prettyyy good too. they were all really entertaining.
    -shinhwa

  87. 87 lalala December 31, 2007 at 4:36 pm

    popseoul,

    actually, Sun Ye from Wonder Girls (the leader) proved herself to be a great singer.

    So your saying about how none of them can sing isn’t true, she has lots of talent and I hear JYP expects a lot from her.

    But for Girls Generation on the other hand, i think they’re useless!! BUt Wonder Girls have some quirk to them, they dont compare!

  88. 88 jaenie December 31, 2007 at 4:51 pm

    YG FAMILY’s PERFORMANCE IS THE BEST! NO DOUBTING!

    only disappointment was that SE7EN didn’t even get to sing with them. they should have also brought gummi. i miss her singing.

    g-soul and min’s vocals need work!

  89. 89 an900 December 31, 2007 at 4:53 pm

    YG totally owned that stage…I was so disappointed with SM and JYP’s performances. They were ok…some parts were terrible vocal wise. I sincerely believe some SM and JYP artists should receive more vocal training because it IS possible to sound good live. They should just ask YG family entertainers for help.

  90. 90 heyleadinglady December 31, 2007 at 7:43 pm

    actually, i come here not because of popseoul’s sarcasm or whatever you call it. This is one of the few blogs that talk about the korean entertainment in plain english, so it’s easy for us non-korean speakers. i don’t recall ever laughing because of whatever that’s been written here. I dont see a point on bashing the ones you just don’t like, ridiculous.

  91. 91 annie December 31, 2007 at 8:13 pm

    This is what I did not get, those celebs are working hard to be perfectionist, but those bruises are like abused mark. Can’t they do sometin to cover up those bruises??

    or is that like a proud things to show?

  92. 92 Sam December 31, 2007 at 10:52 pm

    There is no JYP Family. Just.. JYP Entertainment since they don’t release collab albums together, but the other two have.

    YG Entertainment -> YG Family
    SM Entertainment -> SM Town

  93. 93 its ya Girl B! December 31, 2007 at 11:34 pm

    who was that chick that rapped at the end of yg family performance? she came out actin like she was hard lol she would get dealt with in a freestyle battle…WORD

    yg family performance was ok. nothing to get too excited about

    jinusean sean still dressing like a 19yr old guy. jinu tryin to look like Verbal aka m-flo/teriyaki boyz

    wtf was teddy wearing on his head? a hot ass mess

    im glad to see danny’s face has calm down lol i swear his face used to look like it was on steroids it was more toned then his body.

    big bang…taeyang always looks good but he might have some competititon with G-soul when it comes to vocal talent. G-dragon looked like that lil boy from the grudge..but a gay verison

    se7en wtf happen to him debuting here in America?? what happen its been about 2 years and still NADA

    JYP when will that man get some fashion sense? Hes hella gay with the quickness. he looks so weird and creepy.

    G-soul omg dude sounds just like a black guy singing. And thats a good thing. his runs that he did in the song were on point.

    min cant dance. but shes soo stiff and girly with it. Ciara needs to help her

    Wondergirls thats gots to be the gayest group ive heard of. they ugly and lookalike lol. man korea and other asian countries gets a pass on cheesy-ness. With these cheesy ass names of groups, cheese ass songs and wack performances.

    the best performance of my opinion would have to be the OPENING of drunken tiger, epik hig and etc performance. that breakdance was hot

    other then that what should i expect its an asian awards show. so i was expecting the wackness with a side of cheesyness. but im interested to see the outcome of these asian singers debuting in america. i dont think america is ready well let me rephrase that i dont think WHITE people are ready to see asian singers. cus we still live in a white society

    Lol dunno anything about SNSD and if they can sing or not but I think Wonder Girls can. I think the reason that So Hee’s voice gets cracked on stage is because she is nervous. Anyway when ever I try watching a SNSD video on YouTube it never loads lol.

  97. 97 Doggy Supreme January 1, 2008 at 12:24 am

    I’m a big fan of K-songs & although I’m not sure of their names who sang this & that in drama OSTs — I just love the music albeit I don’t understand Korean. The melodies even their instrumental version (OSTs) are just beautiful! My hats are off to the winners! More power & Sae Hae Bok Mani for 2008!!

  99. 99 Doggy Supreme January 1, 2008 at 12:36 am

SM? *bleargh* But at least Dong Bang boys are officially a legend *ehem* together with H.O.T. Epik High, Dynamic Duo and Drunken Tiger got my head bobbin ^^ Divas dissapointment.

  101. 101 hatah January 1, 2008 at 6:56 am

    HYORI’S DRESS is MAD CHEAP, and can be acquired at the nearest macy’s or Lord’s and Taylors. There was this one girl at my old school who wore the canary yellow version.

    wtf??? its a group, and as far as i’m concerned i like all group members to be TALENTED… they can’t hold a note for the life of them… if that sun ye is that talented she should s tart a solo career cuz that girls are tarnishing her wok….

  103. 103 Yin January 1, 2008 at 9:24 pm

    i love love love Hyori’s dress.

  104. 104 mykmd_1416 January 2, 2008 at 5:23 am

    YG Forever!! Love how they rocked the whole stage,,, but the LIES version of YG is funny! But I liked it..

  105. 105 hm January 2, 2008 at 8:53 am

    Watched the JYP and Wondergirls performance of Honey and man, is it just me or did anyone cringe when Wondergirls sang? SooHee can’t hold a note when she sings if her life depended on it(I’m a fan and all, but that song didn’t really register well with me). Total dissapointment in the performance.

  106. 106 dorkette January 2, 2008 at 9:28 am

    i must say. although i love shinhwa with all my heart. i enjoyed YG Family’s perf. more.

    Hyori’s boobs look very tasty..i wish i could suck on them or nibble little bit !!!! because i need milk ! ha,ha..

  108. 108 KimEunHye January 2, 2008 at 12:42 pm

    why tvxq and super junior were not in this music awards???

    how could sm entertainment bring all their top singers but not the best artist together???

    so sad…but glad to see FT island singing with younha!!

  109. 109 Rain in February January 2, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    Shinhwa’s performance is the best of the night, espestually Shin Hye Sung when he gave all the best while suffering by the pain from operations and weak general state. That was so amazing professional. And OMG, I miss them so much!!!
    SHINHWA CHANGJO

  110. 110 Youshi January 2, 2008 at 3:53 pm

    She is ugly plastic surgery cunt !!!!
    Her boobs ,face is all fake .

    How Korean man find her attractive boggles my mind ?

  112. 112 Fly Kat January 2, 2008 at 4:31 pm

    Her face is ugly without makeup !!!!

    Plus she had plastic surgery on her face ..

    Her face is big and flat !!!!

  113. 113 marmar January 3, 2008 at 3:13 am

    I think the best performance was Shinhwa and Epik High/DD/Drunken Tiger. They got the crowd hyped up like crazy.
    It was just so good to see Shinhwa, all of shinhwa together again. I missed seeing them together. Since Eric & Dongwan will be leaving for the army this year it was nice to see them reunite one more time before they go.

    Epik High/DD/Drunken tiger was just off the hook. I love there stage presence. They know how to get the crowd hyped up.

    I really like Stephanie’s dance in the beginning but poor girl her legs are getting bruised up. Life of a dancer you gotta say. She pawned the other girls with her performance. She knows how to be sexy w/o a guy there, not like that other chick from jewerly. She was just HORRIBLE when she tried the whole ass move thing I was like “WTF? you don’t have ass your flat as a board don’t ever do that again”
    Stephanie showcase her dance skills and vocals. Love how she started jumping in her heels.

  114. 114 44547 January 3, 2008 at 2:51 pm

    i think YG Family’s performance was the best. They sang really well. It brought back memories <3
    In my opinion, Girls Generation only look pretty and are told what to do by SM. Wonder Girls are like able, but need to improve on their vocals.

  115. 115 44547 January 3, 2008 at 2:53 pm

    Oh, and i think SBS Music Awards did a far better job than the stupid Mnet Music Festival

    This just helped me realize that SM is really talentless without its seniors such as BoA and TVXQ. Although I felt that CSJH did reasonably well…or at least better than SNSD (they totally screwed up NO.1) and Super Junior (no comment.
