Star Chat, pt. 2

Here are more pictures from the "Star Chat" interviews we did in February.


Tiffany and Jessica from Girls' Generation (February 9th):

I don't know why we posed with the ugly plant

The girls were bubbly and sweet. They also gave a lot of insight into the real life of trainees (not as horrific as we thought it was!).


I interviewed 4/5 of the girl group KARA the next week (February 16th):

Goo Hara, Park Gyuri, Nicole and Han Seung-Yeon

The girls had just woken up from a brief cat-nap (they have to squeeze in the zzz's whenever they can) to come record the interview, but they were very pleasant and professional. Kang Ji-Young couldn't be there for the interview (she was at her middle-school graduation!). There's always next time~

Chris joined me to interview Bobby Kim the week after (February 23rd)

Seong-Yeong surprises Chris with the camera

Finalizing our questions

Looks like the "yo mama" joke I told didn't go over so well with Bobby

But we made up long enough to pose for this picture ;)

I'm just joking. Bobby Kim was really cool and the passion and seriousness he puts into his music is obvious. His concerts, to be held next week, have all sold out and his singles are rising up the charts. We wish him continued success and perhaps he'll even take up our invitation to hang out :)


Star Chat will be on hiatus for a few weeks, but we'll be back in mid-March with more hot interviews. Keep tuning in~

Star Chat: K.Will & SS501

If you've visited our site and/or tuned in during the past few weeks, you'll have noticed that we've started up "Star Chat" again. "Star Chat" is an interview segment on our Sunday hour-long program "Korean Pop Interactive."

I interviewed singer K.Will on January 23rd.

He's a very sweet and humble guy. I was not flirting, by the way; I giggle when I'm nervous. It was my first interview without Chris and also my first in 3 months, so of course I was a bit tense :)

The week after (February 1st), Chris was back by my side for an interview with 3 of the members of SS501. Though group leader Kim Hyun-Joong is currently busy appearing in the hit drama "Boys Over Flowers" and Park Jung-Min is performing almost nightly in the musical "Grease," the three remaining members (Heo Young-Saeng, Kim Kyoo-Jong and Kim Hyung-Joon) are continuing on with group activities until all five regroup in June.

That's our co-worker Seong-Young standing in the corner like a stalker ;)

Seong-Young, friend (sorry, don't know her name!), SS501, Me & Chris

I have more pictures from my interviews with Tiffany and Jessica from Girls' Generation and Kara that I will post later~

Hope you enjoy these for now :)

music bank - part 3

Finally, the last post on my first "Music Bank" experience!

Seung-Ri from Big Bang performing his solo single "Strong Baby"

The show's finale, when the hosts bring everyone back on stage.

After the show, my cousins and I went backstage to see if we could get pictures with the singers.

We first bumped into Seung-Ri and my cousins were so star-struck, they couldn't even speak.

Seung-Ri with my cousins Jono (can you see the nervousness on his face?) and Ji-Hye

Jono loosened up when he met friendly rapper Mario

Here I am in an awkward pose with M (Lee Min-Woo)
