Alex’s 1st concert & MBC Radio Summer Festival

ay_link July 7th, 2008

Alex’s first solo concert opens early September

As we know, his album “My Vintage Romance” was released last month and he has started his solo activities to promote the album. Today, I finally see his concert’s poster (above) all over the news. Hehe.. it’s about time they announce it (I’ve seen this poster a few weeks back). Now, if only I live in Korea, his Korean fans can all now look forward to early September for his first solo concert, “My Favorite Songs”

For his first concert’s opening performance, “My Favorite Songs” will be inviting popular artists such as Kim Dong Ryul, Lee Juck, and Sung Si Kyung (err, not sure if this one is correct, since SSK is currently serving his military term, and I don’t think he can have any music activities O_O so I dunno if this is a mistake in the news article or what)

As for the songs he’ll be performing, Alex will pick his most favorite songs (obviously lol), which also include some remake songs such as Kim Dong Ryul “Like a child” and Loveholic “Flowerpot” (these two songs have been fairly popular ever since he did his version of it through “We Got Married” episodes)

The concert will be held two days, Sept 6 (7pm) and Sept 7 (5pm) at Ewha Women’s University Auditorium and he’ll also have his Busan concert in late September.

And as we know, Alex has been working on the side as a radio DJ of this MBC Radio show called, Blue Night (everyday at 12:00 midnight). And so, he also will participate on the MBC Radio Summer Festival from July 31 through August 2.

MBC radio reporter Kim Young Hyeon from FM4u will host the show from July 31-August 2 at Hanyang University in Seoul for three days of this summer music festival. The event will start at 7:30pm daily starting on July 31. Starting with the theme “Romantic Day”, Wheesung, Lena Park, Alex, Big Mama and many more will be up on stage performing live for this event. (oh my, sounds like so much fun!) Also, they’ll also have two other themes such as “Fantastic Day” (for the fans to meet their fave stars), and “Dynamic Day” which is reserved for hip-hop/dance genre, inviting artists such as Akon, DJ Doc, Jewelry, Dynamic Duo and Brown Eyed Girl. (Wow, Akon? For real?)

The admission is free, and by July 13, there’ll be lottery tickets available through MBC homepage (www.imbc.com), and also through MBC FM4U radio shows.

What Shinae wrote

ay_link July 7th, 2008

I don’t know why there are some articles of what Shinae wrote last Saturday, June 28 in the news today, when in actual, the entry is now updated and changed to a different one.

In Shinae’s minihompy (personal blog), she put “답답” (Frustrated) in “Today’s” corner, and underneath the picture of her doggy, she wrote, “I don’t know what to do. What the right answer is or what the truth is… I don’t know who to trust anymore. I thought this was the end of all this…”

Netizens apparently found her entry and got curious about it, then the article came out today. They even wrote some encouragement replies for Shinae to be strong and hope everything works out okay. Well, good thing is that now, she seems to have changed the “Today’s” corner into “바쁨” (Busy) hehehe… smart move. She probably knew about the media buzz and changed it right away before making people more curious.

And I just found out that she seems to like to keep some clips in her “Video” section of her blog. The recent one is the clip of mostly herself from the wedding photoshoots, using Loveholic version of “Hwaboon” (Flowerpot), but I see that she put the clip when she and Alex went to try on wedding gowns. Awww…
