One Way to heat up the Philippines this summer!

Filipinos are pretty lucky when it comes to kpop – it seems like the Philippines are the #1 destination spot for Korean idols these days! It’s been announced that One Way will be the latest kpop act to visit the popularly titled “Pearl of the Orient” this July, joining the ranks of BEAST, U-Kiss, FT Island, Kim Hyun Joong, Super Junior, 4minute and many more.

Member Peter recently caught the attention of many kpop fans when he announced on his personal Twitter that One Way would be visiting the Philippines this summer for a showcase. Although the details haven’t been set in stone yet, it’s been affirmed that the hip hop trio will hit up Manila in late July. Here’s a compilation of his tweets in chronological order:




Peter, Chance, and Young Sky will be promoting their newest album One Way Street by participating through this mall tour and various TV appearances. Information is as follows,

July 30 (Friday) – SM North EDSA The Annex @ 5PM
July 31 (Saturday) – SM Megamall @ 5PM
August 1 (Sunday) – SM Mall of Asia @ 5PM

If you live close to any of those malls, definitely be sure to check these boys out! With their spectacular vocals, singing, and rapping skills, you won’t be disappointed.

Candid photos from the set of Fox Child

I haven’t covered Gumiho: Tale of the Fox’s Child much since it began airing, which is mostly a factor of not having enough time. But the drama has attracted a steady, if smallish, fanbase who are drawn to the drama’s fresh take on a familiar genre of summer horror fare.



Here are some candid photos capturing comic moments between the cast, taken between shoots, and the lighthearted feel here contrasts with the darker mood of the series. Above is Han Eun-jung as a gumiho, while young Kim Yoo-jung plays her daughter.






I did watch the first episode and thought the premise was intriguing, although I haven’t been able to squeeze in the time to continue watching. The drama takes the gumiho concept in an interesting direction by setting up Han Eun-jung’s character as a reluctant, almost tortured, gumiho. She wants to turn human and the loss of that opportunity is a crushing blow for her. While the gumiho traditionally feeds on human organs, she has enough compassion to resist that urge, which is sort of like the morality conflict you’d get with the “vampire with a soul” construct in the Western horror canon.



Gumiho: Tale of the Fox’s Child has been pulling in constant but lowish ratings on Mondays and Tuesdays, and is approximately halfway done with its run.



(Humorous though it may be, I find the photo below of the two girls — Kim and her co-star Seo Shin-ae — creepy even though they’re clearly joking. Something about ghostly little girls just unnerves me.)
