Power Korean: Taehan Lee 이태한

Lunchtime and a crowd of students mostly girls are heading to this fashionable (a bit pricey) restaurant at my school called BBQ. Since the place is popular, it is common to see a long line of customers waiting outside and also looong waiting time to get your order. I was with my sunbae at that time also waiting for our order when the girls next to our table kept complaining. Apparently, they’ve waited for their order for more than 30 minutes already. They called someone but when the waiter approached them, their facial expressions changed and even the tone of their voices suddenly got a few more pitches higher. They kindly asked the waiter and when he was gone they started giggling.

The next friend I’ll be introducing in the Power Korean section of my blog is someone who gets a lot of giggles from girls. Haha.  Meet my friend Taehan Lee. Taehan was born in Gyeonggi Province but grew up in different places in Korea. He studied elementary and middle school in Changwon Province but moved to Busan when he was in high school. He graduated in 2010 at Busan Beauty High School, a vocational high school for those who want to learn fashion, hairdressing etc. 

He got interested in becoming an actor when he joined his school's model club when he was a sophomore. He was chosen to represent his school in a competition and the talent he prepared was acting. His performance got an overwhelming response from the crowd and he also got praised by the people around him so he decided to take it to the next level. When he was in third year he decided to also study acting in a separate institution and even played extra roles in many movies.

Even if he was accepted to Dongseo University for BA in Theater Arts, he was already determined to go to Seoul and pursue his dream.  His parents are very supportive but just like many aspiring actors, he’s also financially challenged. Before going to Seoul he went to Japan with his father to work there. He was able to save and after few months later he came back to Korea. He then came to Seoul with hopes of achieving his dreams. Taehan is now starting to take some small steps towards his goal, same “steps” that some of Korea’s top actors and actresses of today also took before they touched fame. Aside from being busy preparing for auditions, he is also busy doing part-time jobs, well, for obvious reasons.

Many people said he looks like the flower boy actor Lee Junki and 2AM's Jinwoon. What do you think?

I hope we could see Taehan on screen in the next few years. Please give your supports to him ^^  

Pizza originated in Korea?

After showing Hyunwoo형 a video made by Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) and ibuzzkorea regarding the 'disputed' origin of idol groups in Korea, he sent me a link of a video showing the "True Origins of Pizza." He said KTO and ibuzzkorea's video is similar to a pizza commercial. And true enough! haha ^^ Apparently, Mr.Pizza (a South Korean pizza chain) had this commercial showing the origin of pizza is indeed.....tadah Korea! But, as I mentioned, the video is an advertisement. As a media studies student, I think I've found something interesting to research. hehe And I have to say, the video is funny, brilliant and extremely creative.

You can check the KTO and ibuuzzkorea video  HERE.

Banana Talk on Olive TV's Tasty Road ^^

My bestfriend Kwanpil will be introducing his restaurant/coffee shop/bar called BANANA TALK tomorrow March 31st, on Olive TV's program Tasty Road3 at 12 noon and replay at 11 in the evening.  

I've already featured Kwanpil on the Power Korean section of my blog and also his store, so if you haven't read it please check it out.  The show will be introducing Banana Talk (menu, specialties, the name, the flower boy crew etc).  

I personally like Banana Talk's Kimchi Fried Rice and Banana Waffle. Just thinking of it makes me crave for it. (drools* hahaha) The store is kinda popular because of the tasty food it serves, the good ambiance, strong wifi kk and the flower boy owner and waiters. Haha. So if you visit Korea, make sure you drop by here!

The show is hosted by two beautiful and hot Korean celebrities ^^ Park Sujin and Kim Seong Eun ^^

Were there idol groups 600 years ago?

ibuzzkorea and Korea Tourism Organization(KTO) just came out with this "documentary" stating that there were already idol groups 600 years ago.  It says the names of the group even resemble to that of 2PM and missA! Oh by the way, 2PM and miss A are the official ambassadors of KTO too. LOL

What do you think? ^^ Here's the video ^^

You can visit ibuzzkorea too and leave your comments. It appears to be another exciting event prepared for K-Pop fans out there ^^ so make sure you visit, leave comments and enjoy! ^^
