Every time walking around in Kuala Lumpur, especially on Friday, reminds us of Koreans who starts to plan their weekend activities on Friday. Talking about it, do you know that every night of the weekend, you can enjoy watching live street performances in Seoul? Known for 'THE' best places to watch live street performance, Hongdae and Sinchon are always packed with fans, couples and scouters from all over Seoul.

   

Starting around 6PM and ending around midnight, enthusiastic music fans start to gather around Hongdae and Sinchon looking forward to their favourite street performances. These indie groups can usually be seen performing along the streets of Hongdae and the most popular groups always perform at the ’hot spot’ which is at the center of Hongdae. While in Sinchon, the groups usually perform at the designated place which is in front of the 'UPlex’, a shopping mall that is connected to the subway station. Do you know that sometimes they block the bus lane to perform their performance?

The audiences, especially the university students, will gather in front the place to enjoy their performance while having a good time with their friends and loved ones. These indie groups do have their own fan base... And it’s true! Some of them even do fans services to their fans and surprisingly they are more popular than the newly debuted groups. Besides that, they will update their performance on their Facebook page and some of the groups have even joined a couple of TV show competitions such as 'Super Star K’ and others. Students from nearby universities such as Hongik University and Yonsei University do showcase their talents for fun in Hongdae and Sinchon.

IU & Lee Hyun Woo: "I choose IU!"

Do you remember the time where there was a dating rumour between actor Lee Hyun Woo and singer IU? Recently, during the 'One Night of TV Entertainment', they had a chance to reminisce back when the host of the segment asked them about it.

As the host pointed out that there were pictures of them together going for a late night movie, IU started to laugh which made Lee Hyun Woo ask her why did she laugh. Then IU answered that it's been a while since they saw each other after those pictures were taken and she managed to give a compliment towards the photographers' skill.

Then the host asked actor Lee Hyun Woo regarding the dating rumours as we know IU has a lot of fans. He replied that a lot of her male fans were bashing him when the rumour came out. He added that because of 'Inkigayo', both of Girl's Day Minah and IU are friends with him. Hearing that, the host asked IU another question regarding Lee Hyun Woo's recent movie screening where she didn't attend the movie premier.



IU explained to the host that at first she was joking with him (but she really wanted to go) and told him she's not coming for the movie premier. However, the day of the movie premier, she got sick and couldn't attend it.

Hearing her explanation, Lee Hyun Woo took a chance to tease her!(How cute is that!?) At the end, when the host asked him to choose the one who is most closer to him, he chose IU as the final answer. Right then, the host commented that perhaps he will get a call from Girl's Day, Minah which he replied that it will be okay because she is a friend who will understand.

When IU heard his answers, she joked back by asking Lee Hyun Woo, "Is she a friend who won't understand?" which made him to laugh and shake his head in denial.

What do you think of them? Do you think that they will be a cute couple if they really together? Share with us your comment. We loved to hear from you! Don't forget to catch up with your favourite drama on COOL2VU!

A warning for model-actress, Clara from Korean entertainment industry!

One of the Korea's never-ending controversial case in the Korean entertainment which involved model-actress, Clara had received an attention from the Korean Entertainment Management Association. Can you guess what is it? Apparently, she received a warning from them to halt her solo activities and warned of possible penalties that she will receive in the future.

As most of us know by now, this is a serious issue because it concerns a sensitive issue. As stated by the organisation, this issue is more serious as it touch the feeling of sexual degraded and it has an effect on the public.The organisation also added that Clara is a public figure who are in a middle of a controversial law suit thus she should act responsibly.

Currently, Clara is in a legal dispute with her agency as she claims that the agency's chairman had made lecherous suggestion. However, the company argues that she continuously violated the contract agreement.On top of that, the organisation also cited their earlier ruling on two exclusive contracts she had signed in 2012 where they think it was very unfortunate that she continues to work while the issue is still outstanding. (Say what? She is impossible.)

On the other hand, it seems that she is not afraid of the consequences as stated by them which may leads her to face penalties if she causes similar issues in the future and she have to give up the right to raise objections.

As quoted by a local media, a representative of Clara said that "What could get worse in this situation? We have nothing to say at present. Besides that if there is an official response, it will be coming from the law firm that representing Clara. For the time being, Clara will conduct overseas project including a film project in Hong Kong."

Check it out here as we unveil the Korean celebrities look alike.

1. Rabi'atul Afifah

Dubbed as Malaysian Yoona look-alike, she does look like her. With her innocent look and big eyes, we can see the similarity between them. At first, most of the Malaysian K-World fans didn't notice  the similarity but at the end, they realized it as she was featured in one of the Korean website, 'Nate', where you can check it here. Not to forget, she also has a lot of fans and they do agree with the similar features between these two persons.

2. Kirmazmal

Dubbed as Malaysian EXO D.O look-alike among the Malaysian K-World fans, she does catch the attention of both international and local EXOs' fans or known as EXO-L. However, not everyone likes to compare her features with a guy. (We know how you feel, girl!) She said it once, sometimes it can be frustrating for her to be compared with a famous person. Whenever we look at her picture, we can definitely see a split image of EXO D.O.

Unfortunately, we can find much information about him on the net except that he is Malaysian and probably around 14-15 years old. (Most of Malaysian EXO-L tried to find his information too but he remains mysterious)



Do you know that we do have one Malaysian celebrity that literally looks like Korean Male Actor, Kim Jae Won? On top of that, this celebrity also is a singer and actor too! He was being recognized in Taiwan and Malaysia for his charming acting which brings out his playful charm whenever we see him smiling and laughing. Can you guess who it is?

4. Nicholas Teo

Yup! Doesn't he looks like actor Kim Jae Won? We think that he does look like the actor. Born in Kuching, Malaysia, he debuted in Taiwan Entertainment industry as a singer and an actor.
