Another 18 seconds of Jongmin

So for a new video for 18초 (18 Seconds) Jongmin got covered in Mentos...

And then he fell into a pool of Coke...

I didn't think Mentos and Coke was still a thing, but okay.

Check out the show's Facebook page and Twitter.

And more importantly like/fave Jongmin's videos for me (Facebook: 1 & 2; Twitter: 1 & 2).

Update! More videos came out while I was sleeping...

The Matshot Episodes 1 & 2

Okay, so this is of course a little late, but ya know, better late than never.

So 더 맛있는 원샷 / 더맛샷, or as I will continue to refer to it as, The Matshot, finally aired its first two episodes over the past two weeks. As I was eagerly awaiting for this show to start, I, of course, have watched both episodes, and I thought it'd be a good idea if I tried to get more people to watch it as well.

If you are a fan of Moon Heejun, you need to watch the show. If you don't mind Heejun and Kim Taewoo (as I know they can be somewhat polarizing figures), the show is definitely worth a watch.

The first episode was absolutely hilarious.

The cast meets and are introduced to the chefs (white team chef Park Junwoo and black team chef Lee Jingon), then they decide what teams to split up in. For these two episodes, it's the white team (Suwon and Taewoo) vs the black team team (Heejun and Thunder).

When you turn around and find out you're stuck with Heejun...

They're also introduced to the food trucks...

Taewoo is of course a little too big for the truck...

The rest of the episode has them going to multiple spots to play games and sample spicy foods. But the funniest moments are found here.

As expected, Heejun is the ring leader, and he does not disappoint. He keeps the atmosphere fun and goofy and is not afraid to put himself down. At this point though Taewoo is seemingly the one who can keep up with his antics. Suwon is Suwon... and he's not known for variety antics, but he still tries. And Thunder is the odd one out, but I'm sure he's on this show to build up his variety show cred.

Check out these clips (they work, I just uploaded them directly to the blog)...

The second episode is more straight forward and focused more on the cooking/competition aspect.

I don't want to spoil it for anyone who wants to watch though, so I won't say who wins.

I know food/cooking shows have been doing well over in Korea lately, and I hope The Matshot is a hit.

If you're interested, head over to Dailymotion and check out episode 1 and episode 2.

More clips can be found here.

Another Koyote post

While Shin Ji was prepping her solo comeback, it seems like Jongmin and Bbaek Ga were up to something stranger...

Shin Ji posted on Instagram about a Jongmin Facebook page that had a ridiculous video uploaded onto it...

Apparently, it is a submission for a new SBS show called 18초 (18 Seconds).

But I just love it on it's own.

LBR, I would love anything that involves a nude Jongmin.

Shin Ji solo comeback

Shin Ji finally dropped her trot song "두근두근 (Pit-A-Pat)."

It's pretty good. I mean, I knew I would like it, and I am definitely feeling it.

Shin Ji sounds great, though I have found her voice can be an acquired taste. Here, however, the song is easy to listen to, and there's no way anyone could complain.

Plus, she looks amazing in the MV.

Shin Ji is an actual goddess.

I'm fairly happy with everything, TBH.

New Cool jam

Cool dropped a cool new tune for the summer...

Sounds good to me B-)

Mini H.O.T reunion

I cannot BELIEVE I didn't post about this when it happened but anyway let's talk about it now...

On the 17th, MC DingDong posted a photo on his Instagram of him with Heejun, Tony, and Kangta, along with Kim Taewoo and Lee Jihoon.

This is amazing.

For one, it's been awhile since we have seen this trio together.

And of course, this should give us all maybe just a tad bit of hope...

Heejun is very active. Wooyuk and Kangta are still relevant and are crazy busy over in China. Jaewon has gotten back on to the Korean scene (unfortunately performing in a very horrible musical but still). And with Lee Soogeun testing the waters with his comeback, maybe Tony will feel comfortable enough to maybe also slowly make a comeback as well...

Since g.o.d reunited, I feel like anything could happen.

Let's talk about Super Junior for a moment

So Super Junior is coming up on their tenth anniversary and have released a special album for the occasion...

Super Junior has consistently been one of the more accessible groups for newbies on the Kpop scene. They have catchy songs and are known for their variety antics, and with so many members, it's hard not to find one guy you like. TBH, I am just going to put this out there, but I don't think I could truly ever be friends with anyone who didn't have a SuJu phase. Super Junior has just been such an ubiquitous presence in Kpop, you can't deny that there is something special about them.

Like many others, Super Junior was the group that got me into Korean pop music. That was all the way back in early 2009, but I have had a somewhat rocky relationship with the group over the last few years. Ever since "Sexy, Free, & Single," I've had a hard time being a SuJu fan. I did not like the direction they were going in.

With this comeback, however, I feel like I have been born again as an ELF.

The new album is amazing. All of the songs are quality~ "Devil" is a crazy good title track. It's very Super Junior and makes up for "Sexy, Free, & Single" and "Mamacita." My top two favorite songs, though, are "Stars Appear..." and "We Can." I usually can never get into songs like them, but there's just something about them that really touches me. 

I literally teared up while I was listening to this album. It really reminded me as to why I loved Super Junior in the first place and that they will always have a place in my heart. There's no use denying it. There's no use trying to stop it. I will always be SuJu loving trash.

Noh Yoomin on King of Mask Singer

After hearing a lot of hype for the show, I finally had a reason to watch MBC's 복면가왕 (King of Mask Singer). On Sunday night, Noh Yoomin, member of my favorite Kpop group NRG, appeared as a contestant, but unfortunately, he was eliminated after only one round.

I thought he sounded great. Very pleased that he sang Sanulrim’s “너의 의미,” as I love Sanulrim.

Plus, Yoomin got to show off his newly slimmed down physique, and more importantly, he got to remind people that he was a singer. He even said that he wanted to get back onstage and sing so the public wouldn't just see him as a comedian.

Check out these Yoomin clips~

The Matshot

Not that long ago, it was announced that a new cooking competition program starring Moon Heejun, Jang Suwon, Kim Taewoo, and, for some reason, former MBLAQ member Thunder would be airing sometime in July.

The new show is called 더맛샷 (The Matshot), which is short for 더맛있는원샷 (The Delicious One-shot), and it is the first show in Korea that will be based around cooking in food trucks. As it is a competition, it will also see two teams pitted against each other- Heejun and Thunder vs. Suwon and Taewoo.

Check out the show's Instagram and E Channel's Facebook page for photos, video teasers, and updates~

The Matshot will premiere July 16th on the E Channel.
