[random] Highlights from today’s Welcome To the Jungle episodes

All I can say is WOW, this TVN special gives a whole new take on real life with Drunken Tiger and the Sunzoo team. The DCamp team along with DT Brasil is searching the net non-stop for an online version right now, but I’ll give a quick rundown from what I could understand. Luckily for us English only speakers, the crew spends a significant amount of time speaking English, so even if a video pops up online without subtitles, we should be okay.

I missed the first 20 minutes due to work, but this is what I caught:

The first episode takes us to Los Angeles, where the crew filmed “My Time.” Featured in this video are Rakaa Iriscience, Roscoe, Styliztik Jones, and Tasha. They filmed at a very expensive location that was given to them for free thanks to a mutual friend named Kia. Dave Kebo (veteran DT director) and TJ (the star of the “Great Rebirth” MV) were a major part of the production.

JK speaks Portuguese: well, some words. In “My Time,” he drops the words “SUVACO MINAS AND MANOS OBRIGADOO (“Hands in the air [more literal translation – ‘armpit’) friends, thank you”

Beefin: A racist biker yells comments at JK and Tasha while filming on the streets of LA. JK replies in English and before a confrontation went down, the guy drives away like a coward. JK admits that he’s calmed down a lot since he’s a father and regrets the tort, but I doubt he’s someone you should mess with (*ahem* 3rd degree black belt).

Naksan Concert: Roscoe and Styliztik Jones praise Tasha a lot, with Roscoe saying how Tasha is what makes Sunzoo special. He calls her, “not only a star here in Korea, but someone who has the potential to be famous worldwide.”

Styliztik Jones must learn how to say “what” in every language: He’s figured out how to say it in Spanish, a European language that escapes me, and now Korean. When asked who taught him, he admits Tasha did it.

Keepin it Simple: Stylez praises Tasha and JK for staying in Uijungbu, their original “hood,” rather than using their new found fame to move to the richer parts of Seoul.

Jay Park makes a cameo: Rehersal footage from Naksan reveals Jay Park walking through the shots of the documentary.


Episode 2: Macau/MNET Asia Music Awards

Brasil: Brasil sent in a handful of 5 second clips shouting out to JK and the producers briefly show photos/clips of them all.

Thievery: Tasha jacks JK’s credit card and goes shopping – She admits she loves to shop, and didn’t expect JK would catch her. Korean credit cards, however, send some members texts if the card is used, leading to Tasha getting caught.

Ballin and Free Samples: The crew stays at the Venetian hotel in Macau courtesy of MNET. They get courtesy MNET headphones As the only Korean ambassador for the brand, JK gets courtesy “Beats By Dr. Dre” headphones. Depending on the artist endorsement, the headphones retail at the ridiculous minimum price of 450,000won ($450) at the MNET Pub in YeungdongPo Time Square Mall.

No red carpet strut: After some discussion about changing outfits for the red carpet and the performance, the crew learns they unfortunately cannot walk the red carpet because they are the opening act.

Held Back… and Fail: After their performance, JK climbs over the railings to shake hands with fans. Guards briefly try to pull him away from the crowd, only to leave them unsuccessful and the crowd cheering.

The episode ends with an MV they filmed in NY “On and On (below).”

And until the full episodes are uploaded, I leave you with the “My Time” and “On and On” MVs.

[MV PREVIEW] SUNZOO – MY TIME

Thanks to the producers at TVN (the network airing the “Welcome to the Jungle” special), we have a teaser of one of the album’s title songs.

The song, “My Time,” was recorded and filmed last June during a trip to Los Angeles. The video reveals that Styliztik Jones, Roscoe, and Rakaa also will feature.

The music video was directed by veteran Drunken Tiger MV director, Dave Kebo (“Great Rebirth,” and “I Hate Myself.”)

The song will debut when the special airs, along with another track, “On and On.” Just one day left!

[news] DT given sample credits on Kanye West’s new mixtape

Kanye West loves to give new life to samples and it’s no surprise that not too long after his visit to Korea, his DJ, Q-Tip, decided to use a beat from Korea’s local hip-hop legend. On Kanye’s latest mixtape, “G.O.O.D FRIDAYS: THE SAMPLES,” the song “Chain Heavy (feat. Talib Kweli and Consequence),” takes its roots from Drunken Tiger’s “주파수 (Frequency).”

In Korean music history, sampling from American musicians has not been uncommon. With this latest event, JK seems to have inspired the beginning of a reverse revolution.

[news] JK and Tasha’s acknowledgement spurs first Brazilian K-Pop Day

Brazilian weekly entertainment show “‘Leitura Dinamica (Reading Dynamics)” first covered K-pop’s popularity in Brazil with a story on Big Bang. Seeing it’s success amongst K-pop listeners, the show’s producers reached out to local fans on twitter, including DT Brasil, and asked about other popular artists. The producers took a liking to JK and Tasha right away and asked for more information to air on the show.

The webmaster of DT Brasil took it a step further and told the couple about the feature. They responded back with two videos, and the above feature was the result. Moments after the special was aired last Friday,January 28th, Twitter was flooded with thank yous to the hip-hop couple, claiming that it was a huge step forward in acknowledging Korean music fans in Brazil. #Brazilian K-Pop Day was a hot topic throughout the weekend.

Below is the translated transcript of the show segment:

“KPOP is getting famous in coutries like USA and Brazil. Drunken Tiger and T, Eastern hiphop stars, sent a special message to the fans and viewers of “Reading Dynamics. “

(video clip)

The country with the most online games? If you thought about USA or Japan, You are wrong!
South Korea Has Almost one and half million in habitants, the thirteenth in  world GDP,  already hosted the world cup, has the fastest internet of the world, and has the largest number of online games of the latest century.

Just needed to dominate the pop music. Yeah, it needed.
KPOP is a  fact! At least four different styles take over the eastern charts since 1990’s.
Electronic
R & B
Hip Hop
and Rock

The huge success in countries like Japan, Singapore and even China, catch the world’s attention, even if there are still language barriers. The spread of the internet help spread K-Pop’s popularity.
Each group debut ended up in video sites. Concerts are broadcasted video stream and are Accumulating awards, and the world begins to notice South Korea. Including us, Brazilians.

The impact of Kpop in Brazil, we are going to show you later, dont miss it!

And from the distant South Korea .. For now, a little tease.

Stay tunned, I’ll Be Right Back.

South Korea is here!
KPOP took advantage of the Brazilian charts, invaded the minds of the youth and created new idols.
All of this without a single show in Brazilian Territory.
The reasons for the pop explosion in Brazil are many.
The fascination for the Eastern musicality, the unusual lyrics and rhymes, at leats For Those That Understand Korean.

Pronunciation is a tongue-twister Almost!
TVXQ for us, and Don Bang Shin Ki for the East.

Also to highlight the musical style: Wonder Girls made a pop song inspired on a retro sound from the 60’s.
And bursts out there due to this approach. The different musical styles please us Westerners.
BoA recorded this one with Akon.
But does a different sound in Hurricane Venus.

2NE1 Already has an album produced by Will.I.Am from Black Eyed Peas.
The only recorded Will Come Out in April, But It’s Already on the Billboard list of potential successes.

And it’s not only girl bands of KPOP That lives here.
Big Bang is the boyband of the moment, and one of the most awarded in Asia.
It spurred the careers of members like G-Dragon and Seung-ri.

Now to end the subject, we bring you So Nyuh Shi Dae.
The dancing Pop That hypnotized the charts, Hoot has many versions But here this “dance” is Already on the set of many famous DJs, including Brazilians.

And to the sound of So Nyuh Shi Dae That is today’s Reading Dynamics says goodbye. You Know That You Can review this and other information on our site

[news] The Tigress [and fans] Are Not Pleased

Oh, the repercussions of poor editing!

On SBS’s year end Gayo Dae Jun concert, JK did a unique set, collabing with Supreme Team to do “Good Life.” Due to apparent “time restrictions,” the SBS network cut off the set midway and cut to a DongBangShinGi teaser. This abrupt edit upset many fans, including the Mrs., Tasha.

Translation:

Tweet 1 (Bottom): “This is surprising. It wasn’t even an encore stage, why was it like that! Why was it cut?”, Tweet 2 (an hour later, after calming down): “I’m so sorry but I love you. I was reprimanded by my husband. I got so heated up… I didn’t think an article would be written about it.”

Though JK thought the cut was unfortunate, but he stated he enjoyed performing, and to just look forward to the New Year.

So what was the uproar all about? See for yourself. I sided with Tasha on this one.
