A. Transportation

1. Taxi

The best way we would like to recommend to you is to take taxi. The airport is pretty near the concert venue, only 6-10 minutes by taxi depending on traffic status. Taxis are located on your left when you exit through the main door on the ground floor of the terminal building. We recommend you to use only the two most reliable taxi companies:

– Mai Linh Taxi: (84)(8) 38 38 38 38

maihlinhtaxi– Vina Sun: (84) (8) 38 27 27 27

vinasuntaxi

2. Bus

The cheapest way is to take public city bus #152 parking in a lane few steps away on the right side from the arrival’s entrance. Tell the staff to drop you off at 247 Hoàng Văn Thụ. You can walk from there to the venue.

Fee: 10,000VND ($0.4)

Editors Note: Happy Birthday Yoochun 2014

jyjrelaychunniedocumentarysiamesetwins

It’s a wonderful thing! Micky Yoochun is celebrating his 28th birthday with Korean fans, friends, and family. It’s been a long haul from debut to now for Park Yoochun aka Micky Yoochun. Probably one of the less obviously gregarious members of both DBSK and JYJ, Micky is an intense, sensitive, talented pianist, composer, singer, and actor. He is a loyal friend to those he chooses to include in his inner circle, and a born leader. Yoochun leads behind the scenes through the ability that he has to influence others. This influence is a reflection of his heart reaching out to others, and their response of trust. There isn’t much pretentiousness in this man. I admire his honesty and integrity, and that part of him that reveals the injustices. Micky will tell you in word or action when he’s had enough, and there is no going back. Twitter is a prime example. When he was through, he was through.

On a personal note: Yoochun, you can be shy and reclusive at times; yet this serves well to allow you rest time. You need to keep your energy reserves up, and it is wise not to allow people’s expectations to dictate your lifestyle. Public work, whether as an entertainer or other form of public servant is demanding and tiring. You tend to pour your all into everything you feel passionate about, but if you don’t–oh well…you are notoriously famous for ignoring people’s outrageous demands.

I believe that you can accomplish anything you put your effort into. You are the most remarkable actor. You make your characters come to life. I forget that it’s you, thus high praise and kudos indeed. Your latest drama, ‘3Days’ displayed you at your finest. You made us proud.

This ten year span has yielded great rewards as well as heartaches for Yoochun, whether as a member of DBSK, JYJ, an individual artist, or a devoted son. A lot of support has come from his family and team members; and I believe from fans and supporters as well. I sincerely want to see Micky continue to achieve and to grow. I believe that he is an ethical person, and I pray that his choices will always reflect that part of him whether as a member of JYJ, or as an individual influencer and achiever. I hope the best of life, peace and joy will always be there for the person of Park Yoochun.    🙂  <3

[Info] 140505 Amazing Celebrity Siblings: Is It In Their Genes?

siblingstars

In order to become a celebrity, you need talent as well as good looks that can stand out and outshine regular citizens. For this reason, it’s not an easy feat to have even just one celebrity in the family, let alone more than one. However, there are an increasing number of celebrity siblings appearing in the entertainment industry in recent years.

A prime example of this are the Jung sisters: Girls’ Generation’s Jessica and f(x)’s Krystal. Not only do they actively promote within their own respective groups, they also show their abilities in various different areas through dramas, musicals, CFs (commercial film), photo shoots, and more. The two sisters have beautiful looks, exceptional fashion sense, and are currently the muses of a famous accessory brand.

Idol siblings, 2NE1’s Sandara Park and MBLAQ’s Thunder are known for their round eyes and extremely small faces, acting as the nation’s baby-face siblings. The numerous photos of them together show off their incredible visuals, as well as their similar fashion styles.

Park Yoochun and Park Yoo Hwan, with their good looks, are both in the midst of solidifying their positions as actors. With their tall height, broad shoulders, and handsome features, they have everything it takes to shake the hearts of all females. These brothers are called “Mother’s Friend’s Sons” for their positive image. Other similar famous siblings include Kim Tae Hee and Lee Wan, Rainbow’s Jaekyung and N.Flying’s Kim Jae Hyun, and singer Joo and BTOB’s Ilhoon.

CF director Bae Doo Han and actress Bae Doo Na are a sibling duo that emerged as UNIQLO’s campaign models, displaying their own distinctive synergistic results.

Now, siblings are even forming groups together. Lee Chan Hyuk and Lee Soo Hyun of Akdong Musician (AKMU) have debuted as a sibling duo after winning on SBS’ audition program, “K-Pop Star Season 2, ” in 2012. They instantly received the public’s love and interest with their numerous self-composed songs and original music style that is hard to come by in today’s music industry.

Following Akdong Musician’s win on the audition program through a relateable original song, they signed a contract with YG Entertainment. Also, they have been garnering more and more attention after finishing up their successful debut stage on Mnet’s “M! Countdown” on April 9.

The public’s expectations for these celebrity siblings are rising and you can’t help but think that it runs in their blood when you see such talented and good looking siblings in one household.

Solo artist Ailee has lent her beautiful voice for the OST of MBC’s new Monday-Tuesday drama “Triangle.”

 

While the song titled “Do My Hair” was already featured in the first episode, the singer’s identity was not revealed. The mysterious female has now been confirmed to be Ailee, and a representative of the drama introduced the track, “Like the story, the song has caught the viewers’ attention and helped them fall into the mood of the drama.”

 

With its soft and emotional guitar sound, the song is a perfect fit for the love story of Dong Soo (Lee Bum Soo) and Shin Hye (Oh Yeon Soo). The scenes show young Dong Soo (No Young Hak) and Shin Hye (Kim So Hyun) meet for the first time, and even back then, they could sense the innocent sparks between them. As they spend time together, their feelings develop, and Dong Soo becomes the first love of Shin Hye.

Finally, the two meet as young professionals after being separated for years, and the theme song has raised the excitement for the couple’s future romance.

 

“Do My Hair” was also used as background music for the romance of Heo Young Dal (Kim Jae Joong) and Oh Jung Hee (Baek Jin Hee), and the first meeting between the separated brothers Heo Young Dal and Jang Dong Soo.

“Do My Hair” will soon be made available on online music stores.

Especially..At the scene where Euntae hyung sings ‘I am a Monster’..
I don’t know why the emotions I had when I sang ‘Why Don’t You Love Me’ in on the Sejong stage came across my mind so much..
When Euntae hyung howled I cried with him after all.
