i cant wait to see Junsu in Anyband ^^
i wonder what they're gonna do now with them.

so basically, korean commercials are becoming more like those Korean ballad music videos where's it's basically a movie in a span of 3 to 5 mins. I've always considered commercials as another form of entertainment that sells an idea and a way of life....but Korea is taking it to the next level since there's even hype and previews for a commerical.

Maybe I should move to korea........

With his wit, clever delivery, and his adorkable acting on Nonstop 5, Tablo is easily the best looking of the group!

wow i'm really offended that the shoplifters and guys chasing her in the first video of course are black! it's not like they didn't have to go out of their way to cast that or anything!!! but holy crap Eric is hot, it makes me even want that song. You are soooo on with the brilliant.... 'branded entertainment", that's great.

I love how the bad guys in Anymotion are black. Because you know, all black people are bad.

I have followed through the 'any' series, so it'll be interesting how this turned out to be...perhaps having one without Hyori will be a refreshing change...

I'm more upset at the black men who decided their roles in the CF were appropriate.
These men just keep reinforcing the stereotype (especially in Asia) that black people are either thugs or entertainers.
( or maids like in the Jdrama "Hana Yori Dango")

ANYWAY! I loved all the other "Any" songs , so I can't wait to hear this one.

Exicted for this one! i loved anymotion the best! next for me was anyclub.. i didnt really like anystar.. (obvious not a junki fanatic).. but yeah this new one with tablo and junsu is wow!! they will do a good job im sure.. the soundtrack for this is cool too..

as I have said before, I don't think Hyori is pretty, and I don't know why all Korean MCs always say that she is the most "beautiful woman in Korea".

"as I have said before, I don’t think Hyori is pretty, and I don’t know why all Korean MCs always say that she is the most “beautiful woman in Korea”."

Jo, I feel the same about Kim Tae Hee.

My SamSung is defective. I've owned it for four years, never once did Eric Moon lend me his coat nor did Kwon Sang Woo send me a pretty dress nor did Lee Junki go camping with me. I must had purchased the AnyYouwish model.

Love the new "Any" cast. Tablo especially. *fangirl sigh*

The Anymotion one reminded me of Honey. cough...not that I've seen it or anything. hahaha
hmm...I suppose these commercials are working. Personally, I think they're brilliant! Which little tween girl wouldn't want a phone Hyori has? I'm going to assume Hyori doesn't really "sing" during her concerts because who the heck can when she's moving her torso like that :)

How EXCITING.

I love Tablo anything. =]

Also, "haha" to Addicted, "AnyYouwish" model.
Clever.

i HATE people wearing glasses when they so clearly never have and will never need to wear them. they should become myopic through spite.

"I saw her acting in Three Leaf Clover before I found out she was some super sexy pop singer and my eyes nearly fell out of their sockets! I was that surprised! The ‘Any’ music videos/commercials are fabulous!" -12 varms

- ya, i saw her in that drama too. i found out she was a star afterward too!! I was so surprised, her acting wasn't as bad as ppl depicted. the 'Any' concept is so brilliant !! People watch it for the star and the music but then when they want to get a phone they'll think of anycall. I saw the new "anyband" video, it's good and different from the ones before in term of the story/plot. The new video is a bit less exciting then the ones before. After I listened to Lee Hyori in anystart, anyclub and anymotion I wanted to watch those again but after listening to anyband, I was like"it' gud," but I wasn't that in to it. I like the way they dressed and how they actually advertised the phone a bit more than before (in anystar and...). i hve a samsung u-600, the thin slide phone in white (one of the ultra-thin edition), it was normal to me at first but after watching these CFs i appreciate my phone more.

o ya, did lee hyori really get a nose job? do a lot of korean actresses do that? so i started to like her less when i heard about his. i think small eyes/ one lid eyes r beautiful so need for surgery.

I haven't seen the latest Any yet..but I will, since the faces are fresh. No more Hyori anymore YAY! (she appears in every single Any.. too boring)

I loved Anyclub..cos Sang Woo' s inside haha. But I thought the whole video was really nice and it fitted with the catch song. Anymotion was alright.. Anystar was confusing, didn't like it..but the song was nice.

Your taste is kinda similar to mine. I do find these extended CF a bit annoying because they are too long, but interesting at the same time. Well, I love the cheography though.

Mary and Shannon, if the Black actors would not appear in that role, then the writers and casting agents would get the hint and change the way they are depicted. But of course, if those guys turned down the role, there would be someone else, just wanting to be on tv, that would take on that role. I noticed it while watching Hana Yori Dango, and also when I just finished Hana Kimi that the criminals in America were always huge scary Black guys.

It's just the same as the women in music videos that are degraded as objects. If they didn't agree to that, then there'd be no video. The only way to change these opinions is to not feed into it but unfortunately, I don't see it happening any time soon.

Ok, I'm done.

....but than again, black people give asian hip hop artists enough street cred to be cool even though they sing about "ooooh, baby I miss you." Asians are just as capable of being hollywood towards ethnic groups as Hollywood is towards Asians and our flied lice, small pricks, and fake nails.

I don't get why people keep on making beauty seem like it's complicated. A good looking woman is a good looking woman. Hyori and Kim Tae Hee are both good looking women. If you don't get why people consider them "the most beautiful women" it's because people have an opinion that floats their boat. Whether or not you can understand why is such a waste of time because it's pretty much like debating why they love vanilla and you don't. Plus, those two women are the Barry Bonds of Korean entertainment....which is why they get the most coverage. If you don't get the hype, then at least understand in which context....even if your opinion is different from theirs.

So true Rocketfuel!

The only similiarity between Hyori and Britney is that they make do with what little talent they have. But I at least get a sense that Hyori isn't going out of her way to make herself bigger than anything or anyone. She does what she has to make money and works with her staff in concepts and images that make her seem "slutty."

I just think people buy too much into her "whole sexiness" when all it is a marketing tool. I doubt it's who she is...but that's why people find her to be a turn off. Britney on the other hand....well, she creates story based on lack of character. With Hyori, they make up stories over what she wears to make it seem she has no character.
