miss A’s Suzy explains why she sat alone at the ‘Grand Bell Awards’


miss A‘s Suzy explained why she sat alone at the recent ‘Grand Bell Awards‘ ceremony.
The ’49th Grand Bell Awards’ was held on October 30 KST at the KBS Hall in Yeoido, where Suzy was spotted walking the red carpet in a beautiful white gown.
On the November 10th episode of ‘Invincible Youth 2‘, Boom stated, “I watched the ‘Grand Bell Awards’, and you really looked like a swan in the dress. Most actresses chat with actors in the audience, but Suzy sat all by herself.”
Suzy explained, “It was because my co-star from the film ‘Introduction to Architecture‘, Lee Jae Hoon, enlisted in the army. The other actors’ seats around me were empty too. I was lonely.”

Lee Joon and Oh Yeon Seo become ‘culinary terrorists’ on ‘We Got Married’


MBLAQ‘s Lee Joon and Oh Yeon Seo became “culinary terrorists” on the November 17th episode ofMBC‘s ‘We Got Married 4‘.
After getting together to make kimchi, the ‘We Got Married’ couples decided to assign Lee Joon and Oh Yeon Seo with the task of making bossam (steamed/boiled pork usually wrapped in lettuce).
Oh Yeon Seo seemed taken aback by the prospect of cooking and confessed that she had even failed at making a cup of ramen for herself. After searching for tips online, Lee Joon came up with the idea to cook the pork in wine to rid it of its gamey smell and taste.
Fearful, Lee Joon commented, “I think it’s going to explode.” Oh Yeon Seo assured him, “It’s not going to explode. It just caught on fire.”
Though the pork ended up a strange purple color, Lee Joon and Oh Yeon Seo as well as the other couples enjoyed the meal.

Hwang Min Woo shared, “I came to Seoul and Psy ahjusshi told me, ‘I saw you on TV and you are the best. Show me your talent.’ So I started dancing like I did in the MV and Psy ahjusshi responded, ‘Your talent is good.’ So I was very happy. Psy also taught me the ‘horse dance’ and gifted me with a pair of sunglasses.”
When asked if he met Psy after the MV’s success, Hwang Min Woo replied, “After the City Hall concert, he came to me first and told me to come to his dressing room.

T-ara’s Dani tries out ‘tteokbokki’ for the first time with 5dolls’ Hyoyoung


T-ara‘s Dani and 5dolls‘ Hyoyoung recently visited a restaurant together.
On November 16th, Core Contents Media released photos of the two girls having fun together. Hyoyoung had taken Dani to a restaurant to eat fish cakes, udon, and delicious tteokbokki. Because Dani had been living in the United States since she was 4, she had never tried any of these items before. She wore a school uniform to the restaurant and tried out a few popular snack items from the 70s and 80s, in addition to tteokbokki and oden.
At first, Dani was wary of the spiciness and had to wash off the spicy gochujang from the tteokbokki, but she tried out the spicy one after Hyoyoung’s encouragement. After trying the spicy tteokbokki, Dani revealed that she thought it was delicious. Hyoyoung had been taking Dani around to various places in order to help her teach Korean culture, and Dani discovered that she actually liked Korean food more than the pizza and other items she used to enjoy back in America.
