Exo Makes Their Debut

I need to find a better video that one totally cuts off while Taemin (that was him right?) is dancing with two of the boys.

Yes, IV treatment. It's a common matter for exhausted Idols & Korean workers.
If you've seen in drama, there're many seats with IV hangers side to side, so just choose between IV on beds or on seats @hospitals.

This is the main reason Hangeng never wanted to be overworked. His health came worse @ that time.

As Idols & Dancers many got bruises cuz dance practices, even lack of sleep, sleep for 4 hours is luxury. Sleep in the car or waiting room is rest time. Lack of sleep really often. Seems like a walking zombie. Famous comes at a price. Path to the top really hard to reach.

They are really hard working & talented, no wonder K-Pop groups are well-known worldwide than any other nations.

K-Pop Idols are chego (^_^)b

‘Music Bank’ to hold concerts in Paris, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and Buenos Aires in 2012



KBS’s ‘Music Bank‘ is setting out to be the leader of the growing Hallyu wave, as they’ve just confirmed that they will be bringing the show to four overseas cities next year!

Starting with Paris in February, the show will be stopping by Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and finally Buenos Aires, with other cities currently being negotiated. Producers of the show are busy trying to line up artists for the overseas performances.

Back in July, ‘Music Bank’ managed to gather 45,000 people for their ‘Music Bank in Tokyo K-Pop Festival‘, and is the only music program out of the weekly line-up attempting to take their show overseas. After seeing the success of their Tokyo Dome concert, producers of the show promised, “We’ll continue to support and aid in the spreading of Korean culture all over the world.”

This decision doesn’t come without some controversy, however, as some industry officials are of the opinion that TV programs are trying to use the Hallyu wave to their benefit.
