Im Siwan is a dance breaker?

Yep you're not mistaken, you've seen it right DANCE BREAKER not breakdancer! LOL I remember my friend telling me how funny Im Siwan is when he dances. Wasn't so sure if I heard her right. She's talking about ZE:A and I know ZE:A has pretty difficult dance steps (well I can't dance so everything's difficult for me haha).  Apparently, Siwan's dancing skills made into headlines here in Korea's local entertainment news portals.

Three members of ZE:A's subunit ZE:A5 were special guests last week on Arirang TV's After School Club. Kevin, Siwan and Minwoo. Dongjun had another schedule while Hyunsik had minor injury so he had to rest. MCs Eric Nam and LED Apple's main vocal Hanbyul asked Siwan what he feels about it. And Siwan just smiled and was also really cool with it. He even said that he really is the dance breaker in the group. After that he danced PSY's latest single Gentlemen cracking up the staff and crew and the fans who were with us through Google Hangout. (Click to Join ASC’s Hangout)

If you were not able to see the pilot episode of Arirang TV's latest craze After School Club, you can check it on the shows Website's Video on Demand. You can also check the show's social media accounts: Twitter and Facebook for more updates.

You can also check this Related article for more information. I personally know Dongjun in this group but unfortunately he was not able to come during the recording. I've already met ZE:A many times before for interviews and other shows and they've always been down to earth. Kevin is also hosting a radio show in Arirang Radio called Hot Beat which is everyday from 12mn to 2am (KST).

This week's special guests on After School Club are MIB and Heo Youngsaeng!

Eric Nam and LED Apple's Hanbyul to host After School Club!

After School Club...yep I have to admit the first thing on my mind was the girl group After School lol Then a TV producer friend told me it's a the name of the program Arirang TV will be running next week and guess what...two of my friends are hosting it! Led Apple's lead vocalist Hanbyul (@jasononestar) and Birth of a Star Eric Nam (@ericnamofficial)

This will be Arirang TV's very first variety show type of program and to add more it's gonna be LIVE! You can catch it on Wednesdays at 5pm (note: Korean Standard Time). It's named After School Club (again not because of the hot girl group After School) with the "idea" of   K-Pop fans could watch it after school (yeah I know time zone difference ㅠㅠ ) or you could see it as idols coming to the show after their school (yeah I know, as if they go? or if they ever go to school kkk)

So how is this show gonna be different from all the other existing K-Popish oriented programs out there?

☛ You can interact /chat with the show hosts and guests through social media LIVE! During the broadcast there will be a segment called "Roll Call" (yep just like in class) where Hanbyul and Eric will be checking "attendance" through Twitter which would include you if ever you've tweeted them. So it would be like:

Eric: Oh so we have lovelykpopfan*** from USA!
Hanbyul: Yeah and happykpopfan*** from Morocco is present too!
Then they'll be getting questions (I guess some are real-time some are preselected) For more details check their official accounts here : Facebook, Twitter, Website

☛ You can also send in questions, comments before, during, after (yeah guess I should just have said anytime kkk) the program and your questions might be selected and answered. And you can also request songs!

☛Although not guaranteed, you can also request for your favorite idols to guest in the show...who knows if the number of fans requesting is overwhelming (crashing ASC's website level? haha) then there might be a bigger chance of seeing your favorite idols as guests in the show!

And as you can see, the first guests are ta-dah! ZE:A 5! Now If you wanna chat with ZE:A 5 members (not yet sure if everyone can attend, Dongjun may not be present due to another schedule) plus the two MCs then better watch After School Club starting April 17th at 5pm on Arirang TV! If you happen to be sleeping, having a date, or spazzing over at the concert or yeah maybe at school during the live broadcast you can also watch the recorded ones. It will be uploaded as VODs on the show's website.

For live updates you can follow the official Twitter-Facebook accounts of ASC or me! I'll be covering the show as a photographer and as a reporter-blogger ^^ (@jmsupercute)

Here's After School Club's Logo Songs

Eric Nam and another close friend of mine Shayne Orok! (Trivia: Shanye is also from the Birth of the Star. He's also a singer and a composer! Follow him on Twitter @shayneorok)

Hanbyul and Led Apple team (I know where they filmed this video and... it's kinda funny because it looks different in the video kkk )

Backstage: LED Apple

To be honest I did not know anything about LED Apple before doing the short interview with them last Wednesday. Even before doing the interview I never knew that they've changed members twice or three times already. I tried to "study" before doing the interview by searching members profiles but unfortunately I got the old members' profile information. hahaha A perfect example of epic fail. Even the staff who took us to their room was also confused. She told us 4 then she said ah 5 members. Then when I met the manager he said 6. Epic failure just happened so fast that I really felt embarrassed. haha But when I met the group it changed. They were very friendly. 

The first thing you will notice when you see them would be their height! I've already seen many boy groups but I think it's only LED Apple and X Five that are really tall. Most of the time only Hanbyul was talking in behalf of the group. Aside from being the leader he is also fluent in English although I asked them in Korean. haha. Sometimes Kyu Min also butts in and utter some English words like "Yeah." After the interview, I thought it was already finished but Hanbyul came out of the dressing room and talked to me. He said if it's fine to do the interview again. So I was kinda surprised because he's really working hard for the group. He thought of something else to say in the video interview so he wanted to do it again. He was even seriously conversing with Kyu Min about what to say etc. It's was nice to see them working hard for their fans. 

After the interview, since we were just in the same area, we get to use the same washroom, drink coffee and just talk to them in the hallway. I also talked to Keano about his Twitter. 

I think LED Apple fans are very lucky and I could say they've made the right choice! I like their attitude and I like how they showed their respect to everyone. I remember the program's producer was really taking care of them just like a mom. hehe. Keep supporting the group folks!

Here's a music video of their song Accidentally Met By Chance
