Seunggi – Music Bank, Inkigayo comeback after 2yrs [ENG]

*** UPDATED with ENG-subbed videos ***

Congrats to Seunggi for his comeback on Music Bank (Nov 11) and Inkigayo (Nov 13)! And sounding GREAT despite battling a cold and his crazy schedule! WHO else has their first comeback in 2 years, and is making kimchi at a volunteer event a few hours prior to that??!!~ (Believe me, having helped my mom, it’s super exhausting!)

And Seunggi getting Music Bank #2 and being in Inkigayo Take 7 is pretty daebak!! Come on, he was up against SM Ent’s beloved girlgroup, 9-member SNSD! And now there’s JYP’s The Wondergirls‘ comeback… so congrats to Seunggi for holding his own (especially considering he’s got a totally clueless management company!)~

Idol-Actor Report Card from the experts [Article]

When did Lee Seung Gi become an idol?!  Can you even be an idol as a soloist?  No offense, but wish some of the press would stop lumping SeungGi in this category just because they feel like it.  Yes, he is an actor and he is a singer; an idol he is not.  Or at least I don’t think he is! Anyway, I still liked this article because the ranking wasn’t some random online survey or poll where fans just vote multiple times!  The report card is based on input from drama CPs, film representatives, and other industry experts; and Seunggi is #1 (again!).  Read the entire article…

Korean stars cheer for World Cup team via CFs

Koreans and our love for soccer… and CFs and celebs!  And the World Cup cheering campaign marketing is already out in full force from top companies and their CF star models. For example, in the (Chosun news) photo above:

– Lee Seung Gi for Pizza Hut
– 2am and Han Hyo Joo for Jambangee
– Jang Dong Gun and Shin Min Ah for some brand
– Lee Min Jung for Basic House

And it’s possible (not definite) that we may see another new SeungGi Pizza Hut CF…
