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!

Vocal group 7942 CGSE Introduces New Member


It seems that Eungjoo will have to vacate his throne as the maknae of CGSE (7942) and become one of the hyungs. The new rightful owner of the maknae crown is now the new member named Alvin. He was officially introduced during the group's visit in Osaka, Japan last April 12-13th for a performance.


I am close friends with the members of this group ever since their debut last year. Although I haven't personally met Alvin yet Haenghun already told me about him. Alvin seems to have a very impressive record. He was born in 1992 (in Korea year of birth is one of the most common questions you'll get) and has studied in Singapore. Now he is currently a student at Kyunghee University (yes there are many celebrities at this school like Rain and Lee Hyori for example). He is also a multilingual person. Aside from Korean he could speak English and Vietnamese too. Impressive right?


For more about the new member you can follow his Twitter Alvin. Follow the rest of CGSE's Twitter accounts too Eungjoo, Haenghun, Jonghyun, Hoon and 7942 Official Facebook. The group just celebrated their 1st anniversary too so don't forget to send them your chukha tweets.

2014 Art Major Scholarship at K Arts

I always announce the opening of this scholarship every year and I have many friends who are recipients of this scholarship so might as well share this to KIMIPAKCHWE readers!

The application for the 2014 Art Major Scholarship is now open for undergraduate and graduate degrees. K Arts or Korea National University of Arts is considered the country's most prestigious art school. Popularly known as Hanyejong (한예종).

Check how to apply: 2014 Art Scholarship at K Arts


Personally, I think this guy here in the picture, Lee Jee Hoon is one of the best actors in Korea these days (although he's currently serving the military for now). He is a proud student of this school and yes if you could study here then you'll get a chance to see him or people "like" him. I know most of my readers are K-Pop fans, so yes there are many students here who are idol-looking or who knows...are also idols.

But of course you're gonna enrol here to study and yeah enjoy kkkk! K Arts has six schools: Drama, Music, Film TV & Multimedia, Dance, Visual Arts and Korean Traditional Arts so if you are interested in these fields and Korea this might be your chance!
