Epik High performs Chocolate

No category 2009/04/09 18:23


The Epik guys performed on April 8th episode of Kim Jung Eun’s “Chocolate,” where they showcased some songs off their new project “Map the Soul,” as well as rap segments and an Epik High classic, “Fly.”


Chocolate, as well as its’ snack counterpart “Peppermint” (hosted by Lee Hana), are shows that have been gaining popularity because of the guests featured, and those guests tend to mostly consist of the non-mainstream variety. Sure, DBSK and SNSD have appeared on Chocolate, but a lot more indie artists appear on the show as well. You definitely won’t find the run-of-the-mill variety you see on shows like Music Core, Inkigayo, Music Bank, and when else would you see Wheesung and Lyn doing their own superb covers of songs like “Mirotic” and “So Hot” on anywhere but Peppermint?

Epik High interacted lots with the audience and their performances were incredibly low-key but powerful nonetheless. There was some serious rapping going on, and it’s great to see a more mature audience that aren’t flipping their sh*t when it comes to music performances. Check out the performances:

Yesterday, Fahrenheit appeared in Hang Zhou as spokepersons for a sports brand. As they browsed the specialty store, they were followed and protected by security guards and many fans gathered around them. Later, during the interview, Jiro Wang admitted that out of all the idol dramas he had acted in, he was most nervous during his kiss scene with Rainie Yang.

This time, endorsing a sports brand in Hang Zhou, Fahrenheit's popularity has once again been proven. When the four were browsing for shoes in the specialty store, several security guards dressed in black became a human barrier, blocking crazy fans at the door. During the interview, they talked about their upcoming concert in Shanghai and said with absolute confidence, "Lately, everyone has been singing better and better, Wu Chun will be playing the drums at the concert, we hope everything goes well." When Calvin Chen was asked about the "girlfriend" that appeared at the Hong Kong concert, he avoided the main topic and said, "She's one of my good friends, this time at the Shanghai concert, I'll be inviting over 10 friends to come together."

Lately, idol drama [ToGetHer] has been airing in Taiwan. Male lead Jiro Wang has been said many times to being ambiguous with the drama's "otaku" Rainie Yang, he expressed, "Everyone seems to care a lot about this. In the past, it was always me being kissed but this time acting with Rainie Yang, the roles have been reversed and I have to kiss her. This drama made me quite nervous."

'Just Love You', the screen debut of popular Malaysian singer Victor Wong Pin Guan, will premiere this Friday in Beijing. Chinese director Gao Yujun, who now lives in Japan, shot this film in the countryside of her hometown Chongqing city. The cinematography by her husband, a renowned Japanese photographer, represents the picturesque and pristine beauty of the rural mountains of the world heritage listed Wulong County.

This romantic melodrama tells the story of a young man leaving his hometown and returning as an adult. The role of the young man is played by Victor Huang who pursues his dream in a big city, which turns out to be an experience full of twists and turns. After years spent in the city he returns back to his hometown, where he leads the village to develop rural tourism and finds his one true love.

In 'Just Love You', Victor Wong's image as a young village leader is nothing short of fashionable. In this film Wong sports the latest outfits and even shows off the latest trendy glasses of his own brand.

The musical talent has even created the theme song to the film.

Director Gao is confident in the box office potential of this small-budget movie, which would make a refreshing diversion from the current film market offerings. Music fans are also eager to see what their idol looks like on the big screen.

Singer Victor Wong is still quite popular after the musical duo Michael and Victor (otherwise known as Guang Liang & Pin Guan) disbanded in 2000 and since then both have gone on to develop their musical careers independently.

Yesterday, Rachel Liang celebrated her 22nd birthday. Her thoughtful fans celebrated with her in advance, with a large birthday cake that had two photos of her dogs on it, causing her to say she couldn't bear to eat the cake, as she cut it. She revealed, she was very scared of having a birthday when she was a child at the orphanage but now she has "Family of Understanding Friends" fans to celebrate with her, making her birthday even more meaningful.

Fans chose to celebrate Rachel's birthday at a seafood restaurant popular for wedding receptions, so when she walked in she shouted jokingly, "So who's getting married?" Fans held a lively karaoke competition and asked her to be the judge.

Rachel Liang said, being able to sing "The Happiest Thing" with her fans at the birthday party, made her very emotional. Next, she will be acting in a drama so her uncle is also very nervous.

HK Techie Denies He Stole Edison Chen's Pics

A computer technician accused of accessing private and intimate photos of entertainer Edison Chen and distributing them on the Internet has pleaded not guilty to three counts of obtaining access to a computer with a view to making a dishonest gain.

Dicky Sze Ho-chun, 24, is alleged to have copied thousands of images of Canto pop star Edison Chen Koon-hei engaged in sexual acts with actresses and celebrities, including Gillian Chung, Cecilia Cheung, Bobo Chan and Rachel Ngan.

Prosecutor Hayson Tse said that Sze's colleague, named Tse, saved the computer data from Chen's laptop on an external hard disk drive as backup when Chen took his machine to Elite Multimedia Ltd for repair between 2005 and 2006.

Sze allegedly copied the photos from the hard drive to a computer server connected to the Internet.

The lewd images were widely circulated on the Web in January, 2008. Sze was arrested on Feb 2 for distributing obscene articles but denied the charge.

"I didn't distribute the celebrity nude photos but I know my colleague repaired Chen's computer around Oct 2006," Sze was quoted as saying.

However, 11 of the photos were recovered from Sze's personal computer last year.

Tse added that Sze showed the images to two employees, Fanny Choi and Janet Leung, at a household store, which employed Elite Multimedia to service its computer.

The prosecutors quoted Choi and Leung saying that Sze told them how he accessed the images. The women said Sze gave them a CD containing 1,300 erotic pictures.

Choi and Leung will be called to testify today(April 7).

Chief Magistrate Tong Man also heard Chen's deposition, taken in Canada, in February.

Chen had declined to appear in a Hong Kong courtroom saying he feared for his safety in Hong Kong.

Chen stressed in his deposition that he was the sole user of all four computers involved in the case. He said he had not disclosed the passwords to those computers to anyone.

Only he and the women shown in the photos had seen the pictures, which were deleted from the digital cameras with which they were taken after Chen uploaded them on computers. None of the four women received copies.

Chen said he believed the pictures were stolen during a repair in 2006.

"They invaded my privacy and stole my things in a very direct way," he said.

The sex photo scandal destroyed Chen's entertainment career in Hong Kong, forcing him to take early retirement from the local industry last year. Sze, who doesn't have a criminal record, is on bail. If convicted, he could spend up to five years in jail. The trial at the Kowloon City Magistracy is expected to last another 10 days. Sixteen witnesses have been called.

He is a good actor, very good at helping others enter into the situation, and I feel very comfortable working with him. (Good at kissing?) In this respect, he’s my senior, having filmed many MVs and dramas; he helped me enter the situation la.”

Didn’t say what to worry about, but I trust all the people around me.”
