Arirang TV – Heart to Heart

Filed as: Us and Bucheon // Responses: 126

A couple of weeks ago we did another video with Arirang. This time we did a sit down interview with them for Heart to Heart.

Yes, I know we do a lot of Arirang Videos. We did one on Makgeolli and Street Food, Blogging in Korea, Pizza Delivery, and Korean Coffee Shops. And now this! But this is a lot different than what we’ve done so far. It’s a sit down and chat interview. It’s also really, really long, so only watch this if you’re totally bored and got lots of time on your hands.

Anyhow, we gotta say, this is the most thorough interview we’ve ever done. It’s not just a “Where are you from? What is your blog? What do you do on your blog?” kind of deal. We talk about why we do videos rather than just regular blog posts, what we think about Kpop fans and netizens, our beliefs in reviewing Kpop videos rather than just praising them, when and if we’re going to have children in Korea, how we try to stay positive in another country, and the warm fuzzies we get from people’s emails :D

What was cool about this video was that there really weren’t any cuts in action. They told us that if we made any mistakes not to worry about it, because they can just cut and reshoot the scene, so we weren’t that nervous. Except for the time where Simon makes up a ridiculous word. Other than that, the whole thing went by so quickly that we were surprised when they said it was over. So there you go!

I have been watching your videos all day i became a new fan^^ It would really be cool if you can give me advice 감사합니다!!! ^___^

    Kollen Park was a MC of Heart to heart, but she quitted? :D
    Actually, Korean government must inform Korea to foreigners like them……
    Anyway, Simon couple know lots of information on Korea and the couple is nice and have enough ablities to inform Korea to other country people !!

    okay ouch martina…i mean do you know SNSD personally to say they don’t have personalties? I think more research needs to be done. I for one did not become a sone through SNSD’s music it was their personalities that made me love them, by watching variety shows, fan-cams and reading fan accounts i became a sone. I’m really shocked i guess haha i don’t mean to sound butt hurt though, but i do think that saying that to any person in general is not nice.

    • Kaleido37

      I still love Eat your kimchi and i still love Martina & Simon <3 i was just taken back by it that all (fans will be fans i guess)

        I think you misunderstood. They’ve got awesome personalities outside of their music videos. In their music videos, though, you can’t really see those personalities. They’re more of a unit in their MVs, and their personalities don’t really get a chance to shine.

        • Nyokou

          I think the same could be said about 2NE1 honestly, the way they portray themselves in MVs/on stage isn’t what they are like at all except for maybe CL but that’s it. YG tries too hard to push that specific image on 2NE1, honestly the way he tries to control 2NE1/Big Bang’s image isn’t different at all than other companies. I’m watching Family Outing right now and Daesung at one point brought up that YG told him to not make a fool of himself/act dumb on the show anymore [with Jaesuk]… I mean, that’s just definitive proof. Anyway, point is… YG is no different than other companies. I mean, you look at Sandara as Dara of 2NE1 and you’d never think she’s got one of the cutest personalities ever. At least YG has been kind enough to let 2NE1 have their own show to show off their personalities and he lets Dara maintain her own me2day. But he like never lets them go on variety shows like ever… why? I’m think it’s cause he’s trying way too hard to further protect their image as a fierce group. It’s like “I don’t wanna make the same mistake twice!” or something. Or maybe he just literally believes that his artists are way too good to become friends with people from other entertainment companies which is just… ughhh. I mean, the only time I’ve ever heard of 2NE1 being friends with celebrities other than the ones under YG are if they knew them as trainees like CL and Sohee but that’s it… Isn’t that just way too protective? I dunno, it annoys me that he controls them that much.
