How are girl groups related to different nations?

On April 18th, a topic on an online community titled “Comparing girl groups’ nation” has garnered considerable attention. Inside the topic are pictures of SNSD, T-ara and other girl groups with a country’s flag next to them in relation to their situation.

This netizen started out by putting SNSD with the American flag, the reason being “the strongest in the world right now.” He continued to mention that “KARA could have rivaled SNSD at one point, but they had internal issues.” As a result, KARA is placed next to a picture of the Russian flag, since at one time America and Russia had the most power in the world.

Since Wonder Girls have expanded into oversea nations such as America, this netizen placed them next to a flag of the United Kingdom because it is “a country unbeaten by the ocean,” refering to Britain’s past oversea expansions and spreading english (hook song) to the world.

4minute is known for their sexy performances, and the group is placed next to Brazil for the famous Samba dance.

Due to problems in the past, T-ara has been placed next to the Japanese flag because Japan’s “problems in the past has not been acknowledged,” which drew laughter among netizens.

2NE1 is compared to China because “China is a developing nation that can rival America [SNSD].”

f(x) is compared to Canada because it is still economically dependant on America, miss A is compared to Spain because they are passionate and have a mix of different races, Brown Eyed Girls compared to France who has experienced the revolution at home and abroad (internally and externally) while SECRET is compared to Italy due to the big gap between rich (big boobs) and poor (small boobs).

Finally After School is next to the Indian flag because “India has the the greatest population and economical growth.”

After reading the descriptions, other netizens commented, “The person who made this is very smart”, and “Looking past the jokes, the comparisons are appropriate.”

Song Joong Ki & Brown Eyed Girls’ Ga-In film a CF together

On March 19th, KBS 2TV’s “Entertainment Relay” visited the set of the Brown Eyed Girls‘ Ga-In and actor Song Joong Ki’s advertisement filming.

Both dressed in pure white, the two posed affectionately for the camera with natural acting.  Jealous of Song Joong Ki’s beautiful looks, however, Ga-In stuck out her lip and teased towards the camera, “I thought this was a CF for eyeliner, this is so hard.  He’s so pretty!”

Song Joong Ki, who has prior experience working with Narsha, stated, “Ga-In is better than Narsha nuna.“  Despite the praise, Ga-In cutely joked back, “Oppa is so much prettier, it’s making me angry.”

When asked to describe any difficulties on the shoot, Song Joong Ki replied, “The director wants us to give off a friendly, cute sort of feel, but we create a sexy atmosphere instead.”

The reporter then told Ga-In that she looked like someone men would fall head over heels for, to which she replied, “To the contrary, I’ve cried a lot because of men.  I dated twice, and was dumped both times.  I was going to dump them first but I was too weak to say anything.”
