Psychological test with Super Junior’s Hyungs Leeteuk and Heechul

On an episode of Super TV Super Junior’s oldest members and career MCs Leeteuk (Park JeongSu) and Heechul (Kim Hee Chul) were paired up to spend 2 days and 1 night together. Although close they are very different in their personalities and behaviors and as a result haven’t spent much time together outside of group activities so the other members wondered how they would get on. Born ten days apart Heechul (July 10) has often remarked that it’s a good thing Leeteuk (July 1) was

Super Junior’s Win On Inkigayo Almost Was Their Last!!

Having taken first place on Inkigayo for Mr Simple, you would think that the group would be really happy. Yet their acceptance stage of August 21, 2011 seemed awkward and lacking their usual over the top energy. It was only ten days before Heechul’s enlistment but it seemed like there was something more to the stage reaction than just thinking they were going to be starting a separation that would last for years due to member enlistments (which continued until mid 2019 when

Weekly Korean Word: 아 진짜요 - "Really"

Like with English there are numerous ways to say “really“ in Korean. Most commonly it’s 정말 jeong mal (jchong mal) or 진짜 jinjja (jchinJCHa). In 정말 (jeong mal) 정 jeong is (rightness/truth) and 말 mal (speech/story) so 정말 is "real story" or “really” as in “it’s true”. The antonym would be 거짓말 (lie) With 진짜 (jinjja) - 진 means genuine, 짜 is thing so it’s “really” as in “real article”. The antonym is 가짜(fake). 진짜 사랑 It’s real love 아 진싸요 Oh really There is also a ramyeon brand which

"Voisper" - A Song For Everyday Situations

Voisper 보이스퍼 (Voice+Whisper) members Daekwang, Kwangho, Kangsan, and Choongi debuted on February 2nd, 2016. For the month of June 2020 they did a unique yet fun “song a day“ challenge which covered all sorts of situations and genres. Like this one for when the salad dressing won’t come out the bottle (there’s also the one for getting out the last of the toothpaste). Were you needing a song which will change your boring commute home into the excitement of walking down the

Lee Seung Gi is a Fawning Fan

Lee Seung Gi has hosted and starred in many variety shows and dramas. He has met so many people in the industry that you would think it would be commonplace to meet another one. However, his reaction to meeting actress Son Ye Jin (Crash Landing On You) on Master in the House is cute and very relatable as a fan. Yook Sungjae was cutely embarrassed as well but soon became more bold in addressing their “master”. Check out the clip below. More K*Boom Online posts: "Return" To

Thirsty? How about a Red Velvet Milkshake

Our song request from a special member was for a cool refreshing song by Red Velvet (레드벨벳); a girl group composed of members: Irene, Wendy, Seulgi, Joy and Yeri. They debuted as a four member group in August 1, 2014 with SM Entertainment. Yeri then joined in March of 2015. They are considered to be one of the best known girl groups charting even on the Canadian top 100. Their music has a pop/R&B style with 90s inspiration. Initially they had a bright summer concept but they

U-know Yunho Is Mr. Passion Amid Pain

U-know Yunho (Jung Yunho) is the leader of TVXQ (DBSK) who is known for his passion and dedication. He has inspired and mentored many of the 3rd and 4th generation artists who have been impressed by his complete commitment to his role as leader and artist. Sometimes his desire for perfection can backfire though like in doing chores at a strange house. He truly wants to do his best at whatever comes his way. U-know Yunho has not had it easy though and his numerous scars tell a

Eunkwang's Family Love: Singing with his Mom on "Immortal Song"

Multi-talented Seo Eunkwang 서은광, leader of BTOB, is often playing the role of mood maker/ comedian so it’s easy to forget how musically talented he is. In the 2017 Thanksgiving episode of Immortal Song, Eunkwang fulfilled his mother’s dream of singing on stage with her son. The panel and other contestants were very moved by their interplay and encouraging of each other. Initially when she had said she had come to win the trophy Eunkwang was embarrassed but still supportive.

Who’s Who in ONEUS and ONEWE

The Younghoon and KeonHee of ONEWE and ONEUS were tasked with finding their members while blindfolded. They had all trained together as RBW Boyz before being divided into 2 groups, ONEUS as a dance performance boy group and ONEWE as a band. This did mean that twins ONEUS’s Xion & ONEWE’s Dongmyeong were now separated. So with minimal contact how successful would YoungHoon be at finding Harin, Kanghyun, Dongmyeong, and CyA amongst the 6 ONEUS members. Well done YoungHoon. How

Kdrama Hidden Object Search 🇬🇧 Flag (The Union Jack)

I’m not sure if it is intended but it’s interesting how many dramas have a British flag (🇬🇧) appear at some point in the show. In some the Union Jack is pretty obvious and hard to miss like a rug in Best Hit and Mute or a fridge in Healer, Doctors, and most recently Oh My Baby. Sometimes it’s a box or container either in plain view in the room or hiding in the background like in Warm and Cozy where you had to look a bit harder. Sometimes it’s a feature of the main room in

Are you a true Kpop fan?

The Kpop members names are sometimes tricky to remember especially for the larger groups but true fans take the time to know the members. If you have a bias you usually can pick them out of the group long before you learn all the members names. Which is especially difficult with the larger groups. Was it N, L, Q or The8 who is in Infinite? Is it Song Mino or Choi Minho who is in SHINee? Moonbin is a real name but Cha EunWoo is a stage name? Test your knowledge of Kpop boy gr

Lollipop 🍭 Sweet Songs #4

Dalgona, the lollipop which inspired the latest coffee fad, is a traditional Korean street stall candy. Made with sugar and baking soda you can make your own At the street stall. If it doesn’t break when you try to cut out the shape you get it for free. This has a lot of nostalgic memories for Koreans. Lollipops bouquets are a popular gift on White Day and it’s common to see actors and singers with a lollipop while waiting between takes. So here we have a collection of lolli

Which Kpop group members don’t flinch when shot at?

For their first visit to the James Corden Show the members of BTS had to contend with being shot at (by a fruit cannon). They participated in the game Flinch, to see who could remain cool while having fruit fly at their face. The members showed very diverse reactions with V (Kim Taeyoung) surprising everyone. Kim Taeyoung doesn’t blink?!! How would you react? Would you react like Jin or J-Hope or remain cool like V or Suga? So how would other groups do against the flying

Chocolate comes in many forms and flavors. There’s so much variety available that people often have trouble choosing. Valentine’s Day in Korea is traditionally when girls show the guy that they like them by making or buying chocolates. In turn for guys candy and or chocolate is given to girls on White Day. There is even an unofficial day for the chocolate dipped Peppero sticks on November 11 (11.11) due to the date’s resemblance to the product, which the EXO members explain

Jung Hae In finds it too hot to handle?

Jung HaeIn ( While You Were Sleeping, Something In The Rain, One Spring Night) filmed a travel show, Jung Hae In’s Travel Log, while on a trip to New York City and Niagara Falls last fall. He had been coached on what to do while filming a unscripted show as he was unfamiliar with the ‘talking while doing” aspect of variety shows. One of the suggestions was to be sure to try the local food and describe it to the viewers while you eat It. This was easier said than done. On hi
