So you have been lurking around POPSEOUL! and wondering how you can learn the language of the morning calm? Look no further!
You can learn Korean with your favorite Korean popstars. Boa, Ahn Jae-wook, Brown Eyes, Dong-Bang-shin-ki, Lee Dong-gun, SG Wannabe, Shinhwa and FTTS will be crooning songs in their native language as a fun way to learn Korean.

The following versions of the DVD will be released:
Ahn Jae Wook - Chingu tomo yo
BoA - No.1
Brown Eyes - Mo Ichinen
Dong Bang Shin Ki - Hug
Fly to the Sky (FTTS) - Missing You
Lee Byung-Hun - Tears
Lee Dong-Gun - Boku No Negai Ga Ten Ni Todoku Yoni
SG Wannabe - Ikiteite
SG Wannabe - Tsumi no batsu
Shinhwa - Deep Sorrow
The DVDs are priced at ¥2,800 (= 28 USD) each and will be released in Japan only.
If you are an English speaker (controlling your mind and menu with chicken breasts and vegetables! hahaha! I can’t help it! He cracks me up! I have been laughing all day!) and want to learn Korean, get a Korean girlfriend or boyfriend.
Kim Tae-hee chomped on 30 sandwiches

Paris Baguette is your run-of-the-mill chain bakery in Korea. Nothing special. But there are a few more upscale, better quality Paris Baguettes, especially in the Kangnam or Hannam areas. (Oh, if you are in Korea, you must visit Passion 5 at the head office of Paris Baguette in Hannam-dong! All the baked goods, cakes, sandwiches taste and smell absolutely divine! ? don’t I sound so nice? hahaha)
So, for me, it really doesn’t matter that Kim Tae-hee has signed a one year contract with the chain. What bothers me about this ad is that her chompers look like they can take in that big ham and cheese sandwich in a single bite. Those teeth were put to good use! During the filming of the CF, she had to chow down on 30 Paris Baguette sandwiches! Wow! Go chompers!
In the ad above, check out her alien hand-that just doesn’t look right.
Kim Tae-hee actress replaces cosmetics model and actress Lee Na-young.
Ms. Kim is now in Los Angeles for a 1 month English language intensive course. We all know that it’s just an excuse to party in the states.
The new Paris Baguette CF will air in mid-August 2008.

Fly to the Sky received a warm welcome by the Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, who honored the duo for promoting cultural and economic exchange between Korea and San Francisco county. In their honor, the Mayor declared July 27th as “Fly to the Sky” Day.
How cool is that?
