Adam Couple ~ THE END.

As you may know I am fascinated with the Korean pop culture to some extent. Recently, I’ve been watching a reality TV series aired in Korea. I happen to know this television show a few days ago through several online portals. Moreover, the program is entitled 우리 결혼했어요 (We got Married) and is considerably popular in Korea. Actually it is a reality program wherein celebrities and music idols are paired to virtually live a married life. I find the show very much exciting and the couple that I was most charmed about is Jo Kwon and Gain.

Honestly, I had to do a marathon of their first appearance (from October 2008) on the show up until latest episode. Watching through each is thrilling for me. ᄏᄏᄏ! Relatively known as the “Adam couple” or the “Petite couple”, Jo Kwon and Gain captured my interest mostly. Gain is senior of two years to Jo Kwon and is the serious, cautious, and less expressive type whereas Jo Kwon has a comical, spur-of-the-moment and fairly adaptive personality. Their pairing and how their relationship evolved in the show is quite out of the ordinary but enough to receive love and capture curiosity from viewers. Personally, they do look good together and seemed to be perfect for each other.

On the other hand, an ultimate bummer struck me in awe. It took me at least about six days to finish downloading and viewing 65 episodes. But my anticipation for their story to develop is cut short. News has it that their virtual marriage is going to end and are now filming their last episode. It’s good to know that their appearance on the show took them to the height of their career but they have to sacrifice it to better focus on rather important activities. The news certainly made me down especially because I've known the show for fairly a short time.

It’s a tough luck for me as I was really absorbed to how their affection progressed and their true feelings unfold for each other. Now that their virtual connection is halted I can only wish they’d heighten their relationship and work it through reality. To Jo Kwon and Gain I wish you all the best. 파이팅!

P.S.

Hayst! I need to find me some new diversion since I’m still waiting for good news to come. ♥

The reason why I wanted to learn Korean

The K-Pop phenomenon has landed to the Philippines and U-KISS is one group not to miss. U-KISS stands for Ubiquitous Korean International (Idol) Super Star. They started their musical career back in 2008 under NH Media. The seven-member group is composed of Alexander, Soo Hyun, Ki Bum, Kiseop, Eli, Kevin and Dong Ho. Moreover, with their 'electropop' feel of music, enticing pop-and-lock moves, and charisma, they captured the hearts of some K-Pop crazy Filipinos [including me].

He's just so adorable in this photo, isn't he?. Teehee I am referring to Alexander [in photo]. This entry is inspired by him actually. Among the boys, he really got my interest the most. So, out of curiosity, I made some background research. To my surprise, Alexander actually speaks 7 different languages at varying degrees including Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese (Cantonese & Mandarin Chinese), Korean and English. (Source: U-KISS) He must be very intelligent.

I initially thought that he may have some Filipino blood running through his veins. Take note of his name, Alexander Lee Eusebio. Additionally, I find him not having that conventional Korean look. But from their recent concert held at the Araneta Coliseum Alexander confirmed that his great grandfather is a Spanish descendant from the Philippines, hence their family name Eusebio. Well I guess, that makes him Filipino but not really. Err.

Honestly, I envy Alexander for knowing all these languages. Aside from his charm and intelligence, I also like his spontaneity, his sharpness as a host, and wisecracks from their TV show Pops in Seoul aired in Arirang TV.

Since I am not-so-crazy about K-Pop I started learning the Korean language online a few months ago. But generally I really find it difficult to learn the rules, pronunciation, and using the words in a sentence correctly. I think I'm going to need a real tutor to learn it effectively. Someday imma be fluent with Korean.
