Good news to all those Filipino Hardcore ELFs! The popular boy group, Super Junior will be holding their Super Show 5 in Manila, Philippines this coming August 2013!

This will be Super Junior’s 3rd concert in the Philippines, the first two being Super Show 2 and Super Show 3 both held at Smart Araneta Coliseum. Super Junior members’ Siwon and Donghae also held a fanmeeting before as they were popular clothing brand, Bench‘s endorsers.

Time to start saving up, guys! Be sure not to miss this awesome event because this will be the first time that Super Junior’s Kangin will be visiting the country!

Meanwhile, three members of the group are currently still serving in the army. They are Leeteuk, Heechul and Yesung.

[Interview] Kim Soo Hyun Talks About His Bad Handwriting

Kim Soo Hyun may seem perfect, but he was recently brought to confess his greatest weakness: his handwriting.

In a recent interview with enews, Kim Soo Hyun opened up about what went on during the shoots for his film and how he feels about his newfound status.

In the process, he was brought to complain about his bad handwriting.

When a scene in which he writes a letter to his mother in the film was mentioned, Kim Soo Hyun said, “That′s right. I did my best for that scene, but my handwriting was so bad anyway….”

Kim Soo Hyun appears in Be Covert, Be Great as a North Korean spy disguised as a fool named Dong Goo.

In the scene where he writes his letter, the left-handed star tried to write the best he could, but his writing still turned out to be crooked.

“I took my midterm a while ago at school, and I had to write a report right then and there. I did my best and turned it in, but the next day my professor called me and asked me what I wrote,” he said.

He added, “I know my handwriting is bad. Still, I did my best for the movie, so I hope you like it.”

Be Covert, Be Great premiered on June 5.

'Eat Your Kimchi' Stars Simon and Martina Talk Real Nasty, An Insider's Peek

Who among you have watched an episode or two or all of 'Eat Your Kimchi'? Do you like it, do you like it not? While Simon and Martina, founders and hosts of the webbie show 'Eat Your Kimchi', may not necessarily please audiences of all types, their audience is pretty sizable enough to land them a full-time webbie gig in Seoul.

In these interview series by The AU Review, get to know more about Simon and Martina and their road to providing us daily (Eat Your) Kimchi.

In part 1 Simon and Martina talk about their pets Spudgy and Dr Meemersworth, Dr Meemersworth's viral video, their Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for the Eat Your Kimchi Studio and Business Time?!?! Anyone who could crowdfund something like a boss earns respect from my book of books. Because y'know crowdfund is the latest shizz these days.

In part 2 Simon & Martina talk about how EYK started, thoughts on blogging full time, or in their case vlogging, how they grew their online audience and how they came up with segment titles like "FAPFAP" and "W.A.N.K". The latter really makes me excited, because while I would appreciate tips on how to successfully be a full time blogger, I just really want to know more about these Nasty naming strategies. You too? Good.

In part 3 Simon and Martina talk about their favorite K-Indie bands, their favorite western indie bands, the future of Eat Your Kimchi,Future Japan expansion and possible EYK cafe?? I'm still trying to decide what excites me more... the fact that Simon and Martina and I have the same faves or that like a Kpop idol EYK is also going to Japan or EYK cafe? After writing this sentence, I think the cafe excites me most. Endless Nasty naming opportunities for those caffeinated concoctions... hmm, surely that's exciting?

In part 4 Simon and Martina talk K-Pop! How K-Pop has changed over the years, their thoughts on the current state of K-Pop, favorite K-Pop groups, honesty in reviewing K-Pop and their favorite K-Pop interviews. "Honesty reviewing Kpop", that's one lesson I won't want to miss. But for me, honesty in reviewing Kpop is all about being honest with yourself, you can't please everyone. I wonder what Simon and Martina thinks...

What's an interview without a greeting. Part 5 is where that all happens. So, I think Part 4 and 5 are the best parts! But of course, Parts 1-3 are also awesome because it highlights their nasty-awesomeness. Oh okay, I'm going to keep quiet and just let you get your greeting.
