[Spotlight] Lee Jong Suk’s First Fan Meeting in Taiwan, Part 2

In case you missed it, check out Part 1 of our coverage of this rising star’s time with 300 lucky fans.

The next activity involved exploring the contents of Lee Jong Suk’s backpack. The MC kept up a running joke stating that Lee Jong Suk was a student in his classroom. The segment even began with the toll of the quintessential school bell. Everyone, especially Lee Jong Suk, was laughing the whole time!

Certain items such as sunscreen, cologne, and body cream were deliberately placed for audience interaction. Lucky fans whose seat numbers got picked were able to go on stage and have an item applied to them.

With each item that was pulled out, the MC scoffed at how strange it was to bring such things to school and how bad of a student the actor was. Of course this required some sort of punishment. For his first “detention”, Lee Jong Suck was had to preform 3 poses from the infamous song “Kiyomi“ aka the “Cute Song”.

And oh boy, was he adorable! He was in top form.

The next punishment involved a little dance number, which of course ended in Lee Jong Suk laughing at his own lack of skills. His dance moves were… unique, to say the least. It was really fun to see yet another playful side of his personality come out!

Lee Jong Suk then got a little break from activities as videos from fellow celebrity friends played on the screen. The well-wishers included Yoon Eun Hye, IU, and all of Girls’ Generation.

Now it was time for the second fan activity. A table was brought out with three different colored boxes. Three fans were randomly selected to come up and pretend to “film a commercial” using whatever they found under their box. Not only did they get to interact with Lee Jong Suk, they even received a signed picture of themselves with him. Pretty cool!

A toothbrush, a motor scooter helmet, and a set of plastic ramen noodles made for a fun time. The ramen noodles were perhaps the strangest, mostly because there wasn’t much to do with them beside awkwardly pretend to eat them.

For the final activity, Lee Jong Suk raffled off some of his belongings to fans. These items consisted of sunglasses, a script, a shirt that he apparently wore to bed the night before, and a pair of red shoes that he used while filming “School 2013.” In addition, each gift came with a picture of Lee Jong Suk holding it!

After School Shocks with Performance, Why Pole Dance?

After School has not only outdone themselves but arguably every girl group performance that has ever been put on stage. In their showcase event, After School brought out the poles on stage and filled their entire choreography with acrobatic, high-difficulty moves on and around the poles in the performance of "First Love."

Fully arching their backs while on poles and performing quick pole spins, the members of After School brought out the ooh and aahs from the crowd. Let us look into the creation of this shocking performance by After School.

Why Pole Dance?

After School preferred to call their choreography pole art rather than pole dance, which has an improper connotation that refers to R-rated dance often performed by showgirls. Displaying a wide range of moves, they hope to show more than just sensual moves involving poles.

How Long Did They Train?

It did not take long to realize that the pole art choreography was an extremely high level of difficulty. Seven months was how long it took the members to train and master the moves they showed on stage. For a 4-minute performance, it is a huge investment.

"We could not even stay on the poles at first. It took a whole month to be able to remain steady on poles. Because we started using muscles we normally did not use, we began aching everywhere. But as we began to master one move at a time, it became fun. We felt a tangible sense of accomplishment," After School recalled.

Will We See It All On TV?

After School's original performance involves four full-length poles that each weigh over 200 pounds and cost around a thousand dollars. Transportation, assembly and disassembly of the poles are fully operated and supervised by After School's managers. Although it is hard to predict how the public will react to their polar art choreography, After School is open to tweak a few moves here and there if they become controversial at any point. They are flexible, as made apparent through their on-stage performance of "First Love." It remains interesting to see how their unconventional dance will be received by K-pop fans.

EXO look up to their labelmates TVXQ, Girls' Generation, and Super Junior as their role models

One thing that's keeping EXO on the right track to success seem to be their role models.

During an interview with TV Daily, the members were asked what they learn from their agency sunbaes at SM Entertainment. EXO shared, "As we perform on music shows, there are times when we get exhausted. But when we look at our sunbaenims, they also go on tours overseas and don't seem to get tired. We want to acquire the same stamina and mindset. Girls' Generation, especially, are women, but after seeing them carry out two-day concerts, they really impressed us."

Though the boys learned by watching, they also got advice as well. EXO shared, "Our TVXQ sunbaenims always call us whenever our teaser or music video comes out. They give us advice one person at a time through speaker phone."

"We also had the opportunity to meet our Super Junior sunbaenims in the practice room, and they told us to show them our choreography. We showed it to them, and they responded, 'To be honest, we asked you to show it to us so we can criticize it, but we have nothing to say,' and said encouraging words instead."

Chanyeol added, "This time around, we appeared on a variety show ['Weekly Idol'] with all twelve members for the first time. We asked Kyuhyunsunbaenim for advice. He told us, 'If you do everything the way hyung tells you to do it, you won't do well in variety.' It was a strong sense of support. We've heard many good words of advice."

EXO must have taken those words of advice to heart because they were able to clinch their first win on a music show on the June 14th broadcast of 'Music Bank' as well as June 15th's 'Music Core'!

Congrats to EXO once again!

What does Super Junior's Kangin do when he can't sleep?

People have a lot of different ways to get themselves to sleep when they just can't seem to, and it looks like Super Junior's Kangin has his own way of battling insomnia!

He tweeted a photo of himself near his dorms and wrote, "I couldn't sleep, so I walked around the trail near our dorms by myself. Oho, this is nice~^^ ." Judging from how dark it is around him, it looks like he took the photos either very late at night or very early in the morning. Kangin also gave fans a good look at his forehead.

Looks like the reason why Kangin couldn't sleep was because he was too energetic. Hopefully, taking a walk helped him get sleepier!

Fans commented, "I love your face," "Maybe you're a morning person," and"OMG! Hello, Kangin oppa."

'Final Adventure', the Korean spin-off of 'The Amazing Race', starts off with poor ratings

MBC's new variety show, 'Final Adventure', which was hyped as the Korean spin-off of the popular American show 'The Amazing Race', unfortunately fell quite short in the ratings department with its premiere.

Despite the star studded cast  of Jo Sung Mo, Tony An, ZE:A's Heecheol,Julien Kang, and more, the show recorded a poor rating of 3.3%. However, the upside of kicking off with a low rating is that there's much room for growth and improvement, so hopefully the numbers will go up with the following weeks.

Meanwhile, its competition, SBS' 'Laws of the Jungle' once again reigned as king coming at 14.7%, while KBS 2TV's 'Couple Clinic-Love and War 2' achieved a 9.0% viewer rating.
