Spare us the pain, Daesung!

We here at POPSEOUL! already established that Koreans have a horrible taste in music, so it shouldn’t be a surprise to see Daesung’s trot single is already topping the online charts.

I can understand the peninsula’s collective bad taste in music, but why are factory produced pretty boys, well in this case, just a boy singing trot? Didn’t we suffer enough with Super Junior T and balding ajusshis who cater to our parents?

Check out Daesung’s “Look at me Gwi-son”

Daniel Henney wants you

That’s right, the hot Daniel Henney wants you… to look at him. The sexy star sizzles in the July 2008 issue of Elle Magazine (Korea). I was almost drooling looking at the pictures …until I saw the other guy. A guy? What’s with that? And why is the random dude touching Daniel (yes we are on a first name basis) like that? And why is Daniel giving a naughty look into the guy’s camera? Talk about bursting my bubble.

Oh Daniel. I hope you are not what I think you are….

The half-Korean actor has a role in the upcoming Hollywood movie, “X-men Origins: Wolverine” (2009).

Shin Mina shoulders through

Proportions are important if you want to look like you have a small face. All you need are extra wide shoulders like Shin Mina.

Granted, her face is probably already small. This is evident by standing beside her co-stars, On Ju-wan and Yu Gon, and director Kwak Jae-yong. But if the woman knows she has linebacker shoulders, she should refrain from wearing a dress that accentuates them.

The 24 year old actress is probably making On Ju-wan and Yu Gon jealous.

Miss linebacker shoulders attended the opening for the new movie, “My Mighty Princess” (2008) at Yongsan CGV Theaters on June 16th 2008.

Sun Ye and Mighty Mouth’s collaboration produces energy

Hip-hop duo Mighty Mouth’s new song “Energy” features the stringy vocals of Sun Ye from The Wondergirls. Living up to its name, the song is indeed energetic. Unfortunately however, grotesquely overshadowing the energy of the song is Sun Ye’s one-dimensional, super annoying voice.

Mighty Mouth is trying hard to recreate the same magic they had when they featured Yoon Eun Hye in “I Love You”. Though ”Energy” falls short quality-wise, it’s numbing up-tempo beat will appeal to the masses and inevitably result in a nonstop replay frenzy.
