Just because Insooni is a veteran singer doesn’t mean that she can’t enjoy new K-pop! On the March 25th episode of KBS’s “Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook,’ Insooni performed SHINee’s ‘Ring Ding Dong,’ surprising not only the audience, but the host as well. Insooni said, “It was hard to do something that takes five people to do, but I always want to challenge myself when I see the audience cheering me on.” Everyone was amazed that someone in her fifties could pull off all the singing and dancing required for an idol song. Not only that, but she even managed to introduce her own swag to the cover! Insooni laughed, “I’m most comfortable with ‘Open Music Concert’ because I’ve been performing for it since I was young, but when I got a request to appear on ‘Sketchbook’, I was very happy. It’s because I can sing while connecting and making eye contact with the audience.” Meanwhile, Insooni is currently promoting her dance song, ‘Uppercut.’
Popular idol groups SHINee and f(x) put on their best spring clothes for their photoshoot with online shopping mall, ‘Auction‘. For the site’s spring catalog, the members of SHINee and f(x) were outfitted in bright, colorful patterns, which were balanced by their sweet, pastel-hued props. As ever, SHINee’s Onew proved himself to be a great leader by taking the initiative to create a relaxed environment. The idol joked around with the staff and colleagues, and ensured that everyone was smiling through the long hours. The f(x) members also brought their professional outlooks, as staff members reported that the girls barely looked tired, even though the shoot lasted for two days. f(x)’s Victoria played the role of ‘big sister’ well by giving the younger ones snacks during breaks. The groups created two ‘couples’ (Onew-Sulli and Minho-Victoria) for the shoot, and they worked perfectly together, as expected of the close labelmates.
