8eight and the Beginning of Spring

Here are the pictures of the Yeouido Spring Flower Festival (formerly known as the Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival) I promised~

If you look carefully, you can see petals showering passers-by

...which leads to this: nature's confetti

Trying to study when the weather's warm and the flowers are blooming is next to impossible

Chris and I had the chance to interview R&B/hip-hop trio 8eight again for Korean Pop Interactive (April 12, 2009). We interviewed them almost a year ago (May 14, 2008) and it was fun seeing them again. "Beautiful leader" Lee Hyun, Joo-Hee and rapper Baek-Chan talked about their new album, how their lives and music have changed in the past year and also what they like to do in their free time. They're holding their first ever concert this weekend (April 25th) at Club Answer in Cheongdam-dong, southern Seoul, so check it out if you're in the area!

The warm weather and burst of greenery are definitely making me feel cheerier and you can feel and hear the buzz of happy Seoulites whenever you go outside. There are more people strolling around the city and cafes and restaurants have set up tables outside for customers to enjoy the season. I hope you are all enjoying spring (or fall for of you below the equator)~ I certainly am! :)
