Korean Kittens ~ Singing the Beatles

Mon, 07/11/2011 - 19:47 — foreignerjoy
Got this through Facebook, of course where else? I like it's nostalgic feel and the fact that they aren't all in sync with each other like the girl groups of today.

Performance: Little Shop of Horrors (Camarata Music Company)

Tue, 06/28/2011 - 22:52 — chrisinsouthkorea

The ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ has aged nicely, considering it was copyrighted the same year I was born. The story is straightforward enough: geeky Seymour, an orphan taken in by Mr. Mushnik (left), and his ‘not-so-secret’ crush Audrey, both work at Mr. Mushnik ‘skid row’ flower shop. I was too busy taking photos to note how accurate the Korean subtitles were, but the Korean audience seemed to laugh in all the right places. His face isn’t visible in this picture, but the wino (center, on ground) is the only Korean actor in the production.

David Choi: ‘I have no intention of going on Glee’

Fri, 06/24/2011 - 04:39 — koreanbeacon

Most Youtube stars have hopes of one day hitting it big with a record deal or signing contracts with big companies, but for Youtube singer David Choi, that would be the last thing he wants. Despite having his songs played on Korean TV shows and his growing fame around the world, David stays humble and true to his music.

HBC Fest – Rock n’ Roll (and some folk) Photos

Wed, 06/22/2011 - 15:24 — conor_o_reilly

Here are some more pics from May’s HBC Fest, this time I’m keeping all things musical this time and focusing purely on the live acts. I have a few more pictures of the crowd’s antics to post but I’m going to give the people who make the Fest worth going to some credit – in fairness it wouldn’t be much of a music festival without much music, right?

These photos are going to start from the beginning, around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I didn’t get to see everyone, but everyone I did see did get a photo included. I decided to go with a slideshow this time.

Enjoy!

 

Click to view slideshow.

 

By-the-by, let me know what you think of how this was presented – did the slideshow work? I have other options for displaying photos that I’m currently exploring. I want to avoid the big long post of photos I’ve been doing in the past.

Kollaboration Acoustic 5 with Priscilla Ahn

Wed, 06/15/2011 - 07:14 — koreanbeacon

For those of you who don’t know, Kollaboration is a non-profit organization that aims to achieve “Empowerment through Entertainment” for today’s Asian and Pacific Islander community. This Friday (6/17), Kollaboration Acoustic 5 will showcase new and emerging singing talents from all around and will feature guest performer Priscilla Ahn. Kollaboration Acoustic is definitely much mellower than the original Kollaboration show that comes around every March. Some may even prefer the Acoustic show since its laid-back tone allows for the competitors’ voices to really shine.
