Guest qoxie Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 ^ He's a HK photographer. His 1st tweet: Taking pictures at Athens OAKA [Olympic Athletic Center of Athens], met Min Sunye by chance. 민선예? MIN SUNYE? Think it's spelled like this... Among WG, I like this one a little more. Vocals, energy, eyes, lips, face, ah, she's just right~ I'm smitten~ Hahaha~ Too unsightly to ask for a group photo. Missed the chance~ 2 weeks of photoshooting in Athens is over & done, getting ready to return to HK~ His 2nd tweet: A flash of freshness in the beautiful Athens sunshine Sunye 민선예 MIN SUNYE, July 4 at OAKA. - - - - - - - - - - - Gotta love how the international press is using the Special Olympics's "The number one girl group in Asia" reference for WG for their news reports. ^^ - - - - - - - - - - - Found more pics.

Cr: as tagged WONDERGIRLS wins Top Bestselling Overseas Group Popular idol group: Hard work is always directly related to glory. Mention WG & everyone knows them. Their classic hit 'Nobody' is globally famous; many people is familiar with its dance steps too. Even though they are Korea's finest girlgroup, WG gunned for bigger stages & continued to work hard amid harsh conditions. They have produced an impressive result. The main article text is incomplete (truncated at the bottom) but basically chronicled the history of 'Nobody', so I'm skipping it. The respective subheadings are: "Glory: Their arrival sparkled a worldwide 'Nobody' craze" & "Magical song: 'Nobody' conquered the world'. Found the mag's front cover.

wonderstruck Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I want to extend my solidarity to valentino_rossi46 bikini argument -- well said, there's fanboys too!! -- Chooney7 has many unseen pics of Athens. Shopping! ^^ Group pic after the ceremony This is just an appetizer, visit the site to see them in hi-res. http://chooney7.egloos.com/2772742 -- A side-note on Greece Among Yeeun pool pics twitted on the 4th morning there's one showing Greece sky and part of a black-blue striped sun umbrella. - just want to explain those who never visited Greece that pics like that are the most common Greece tourist souvenirs. The Greek are absolutely brilliant in putting their flag colors everywhere: white houses with blue window blinds, doors, the beach umbrellas, table decoration, towels, all souvenirs... it's like brain conditioning, when you watch your pics later, the two colors are everywhere. --- Ouch, for me egloss is on >.< ...on which host can I put 4MB+ pics for the forum with enough duration? I can do it tomorrow for sure. v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest qoxie Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 ^ Arrgh, you got into the egloos site. I surfed to there as part of my bookmarks browsing earlier but it was "under maintenance." The site is still down now (again?) for me. - - - - - - - - - - - Guess the Qingdao date is on. The organizers held a press conference yesterday to announce the concert & the full artiste lineup. A lot of local governmental agencies are involved in the planning, so JYPE will ruffle feathers if WG withdraws. FYI It's also variously called 'Maritime Festival', 'Ocean Festival', 'Sea Festival', et al. Don't seem to have an official English title. I'm sticking with 'Marine Festival.' Cr: as tagged 1st media report, by a city newspaper. Wikipedia says the concert venue's capacity is 20,000.

Guest jcsmark Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 T-ara's leader talked about retro concepts of girls groups. Continuing, Hyomin explained: "Wonder Girls's songs 'Tell Me', 'So Hot', 'nobody' is a fad for retro, SNSD's 'Hoot' was a retro of girls power that has received a lot of love. T-ara must have a completely different retro feel from them." "Wonder Girls concept is South African, and SNSD's concept is Western retro concept. But for our retro concept, it's really south Korea's retro concept. We really show that what our parent's retro era looked like."

Definitely not 'South African retro', for sure. The Chinese interpreters translated it as 'Afro-American retro' (i.e. black urban), which is arguably more apt. - - - - - - - - - Wow, WG wore their stage costumes back to the hotel.
