Adat Pernikahan di Korea

Mau Tahu Adat Pernikahan dari Korea??

Negara yang terkenal dengan film-film komedi dan melow, seperti “Full House”, “Coffee Prince”, dan “Boys Before Flowers”, ini ternyata memiliki tradisi pernikahan yang unik loh.

Awalnya, para teman dekat pengantin pria akan beramai-ramai membawakan hadiah pertunangan ke rumah calon pengantin wanita. Hadiah itu dimasukkan ke dalam kotak yang diberi nama hahm. Para pengantar hadiah pertunangan ini akan tiba di rumah sang pengantin wanita, lengkap dengan kostum dan wajah yang dipoles menajdi hitam, lalu meraka akan bernyanyi.

Para pembawa hadiah ini akan berhenti di depan rumah sang calon pengantin wanita, dan meneriakkan “Hahm untuk dijual, hahm untuk dijual!”. Lalu keluarga sang calon pengantin wanita akan menghampiri mereka sambil menawarkan uang. Kegiatan ini bisa disebut sebuah negosiasi, dan tentunya negosiasi yang menyenangkan juga penuh tawa.

Pesta pertunangan sendiri sekarang ini lebih sering diadakan di rumah makan. Dan sang calon pengantin wanita mungkin akan mengenakan hanbok (pakaian tradisional untuk acara pertunangan). Untuk hiburan, biasanya anggota keluarga akan berkaroke ria.

Sebelum pernikahan dilangsungkan, calon pengantin pria akan memberikan sebuah hadiah pada calon ibu mertuanya berupa sebuah angsa liar yang masih hidup. Namun sekarang ini lebih sering memberikan boneka angsa yang terbuat dari kayu. Angsa ini menandakan sang calon pengantin pria akan merawat anak perempuannnya seumur hidup.


Pernikahan tradisional Korea diselenggarakan di rumah sang pengantin wanita. Sedangkan sumpah pernikahan dilakukan dalam upacara yang dinamakan kunbere. Kedua pengantin akan saling membungkuk lalu meminum anggur khusus dari sebuah labu yang ditanam oleh ibu sang pengantin wanita.

Beberapa hari seteleh upacara pernikahan, kedua pengantin akan mengunjungi keluarga sang pengantin pria untuk menjalani upacara pernikahan lainnya yang disebut p’ye-baek. Sang pengantin wanita akan menawarkan korma dan chestnuts kepada orangtua pengantin pria. Hal ini melambangkan anak-anak.Lalu orangtua akan menawarkan sake, dilanjutkan melempar korma dan chestnuts pada sang pengantin wanita yang mencoba menangkap keduanya mengunakan pakaian pengantinnya.Di Amerika, upacara p’ye-baek dilakukan pada hari pernikahan.


Perjamuan makan dalam pernikahan tradisional Korea sangatlah sederhana. Bahkan hanya dibutuhkan sup mi, dan faktanya pesta perjamuan makan Korea disebut kook soo sang yang berarti “perjamuan mi.” Mi yang panjang melambangkan kehidupan yang panjang dan bahagia. Mi akan direbus bersama kaldu sapi dan hiasan lainnya serta sayuran. Dok, atau kue ketan biasanya menjadi hidangan yang disajikan dalam sebuah acara di negara ini, khususnya di pernikahan.

MBC, SBS, & KBS angered over Mnet’s “MAMA” show

The three major public broadcasting companies - MBC, SBS, and KBS - are all angered over cable channel Mnet’s decision to hold their year-end awards ceremony, MAMA (“Mnet’s Asian Music Awards”), on a weekend.
The three are arguing that with the MAMA opening on Sunday November 28th in Macau, top celebrities must leave Korea by the 27th at the latest, forcing singers to choose between MBC and SBS’s weekend music programs or attending the ceremony.
The industry has taken Mnet’s decision to hold the MAMA on such an inappropriate date as a challenge against the public broadcast companies. Many representatives have already noticed that the three companies are feeling very uncomfortable with the amount of success that “Superstar K” has managed to garner.
A representative of Mnet clarified, “The MAMA will be opening on a Sunday due to an on-site survey in Macau. There is no other reason behind this decision.”
Industry representatives are also wary of whether the contestants of “Superstar K” will be accepted by the public broadcast companies, since they were raised by a cable channel. Yet at the same time (since MBC has been inspired to create their own audition program, “The Birth of a Star“), many have been speculating as to how much support the ”The Birth of a Star” contestants will be given from KBS, SBS, and Mnet.
One industry representative revealed, “Public broadcast companies feel immense pride in knowing that they can create their own popular singers and change the music market. However, this influence is slowly declining with the increasing usage of the internet and the fast advancement of cable channel Mnet. If the battle of pride between these channels continue to escalate in severity, it’ll be much easier for one broadcast company to push for a particular artist or completely ignore another artist as they please.”
Netizens commented, “Mnet, CJE, and Core Contents Media are all one company anyway. They should just make their own public broadcast company,” and “Well, the public broadcast companies can make their own SM Entertainment special then.”

Jo Kwon feels responsible for Ga-In

On the latest episode of ‘We Got Married‘, husband Jo Kwon confessed that after a year of marriage, he now feels a sense of responsibility when he’s together with his wife, Ga-In.
The virtual couple went on a trip to Jeju Island as a commemoration for their one year anniversary of ‘marriage’ on the show. However, instead of being able to enjoy the trip alone, they were accompanied by fellow group members, 2AM’s Seulong and Brown Eyed Girls’ Jea.
One of the highlights of the episode was when Ga-In and Jo Kwon were in their wedding car as they watched a compilation video of scenes of their marriage life since being on the show. The couple gave heartwarming smiles as they looked back on their one year of marriage.
When Seulong asked Ga-In if she has any regrets on marrying Kwon, Ga-In laughed and replied, “Other guys don’t want to approach me anymore”. However, during the interview with the producers, she said, “I don’t feel like it’s been 1 year. More like 6 months? It feels like it’s been only a short time.”
Meanwhile, Jo Kwon said, “One year ago, Ga-In used to just treat me like whatever. Back then, my thoughts of her as just a nuna were very strong.”
He continued, “I thought of her as a nuna, or a singer sunbae, but now I feel like she is someone who needs to be in my arms, who I need to let in.”
Lastly, Jo Kwon added, “I feel like I’m responsible for being the person she can lean onto.”
Cute, no?

U-Kiss appears as Weekly MC hosts on “MADE IN BS JAPAN”

Last week it was revealed that Korean male group, U-KISS, was chosen as Wednesday’s special MC on a live Japanese variety show titled “MADE IN BS JAPAN” on BS JAPAN. The boys made their second appearance on the show on October 20th.
Last week, all the members of U-Kiss made an appearance but this week’s episode featured U-Kiss members Alexander and Soohyun as the live in-studio Special MC’s.
The boys tried out various ice cream flavors and Alexander was especially excited because he got to try “Shoyu Icecream” (soysauce icecream). Alexander enjoyed it but Soohyun didn’t agree with the taste. They also tried out some other outrageous flavors such as miso and natto (fermented soy beans). The show also gave a long video of the boys activities in Japan and a more behind the scenes look from their premiere appearance on the show.
“MADE IN BS JAPAN” is a television show that introduce various food, fashion, and history from all over Asia (Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, China, etc.). The show’s main announcer is Maeda Mariko, famous for her work on TV Tokyo. Each weekday will feature a different MC from the various Asian nations.
U-KISS member Kibum commented about the future activities in Japan saying, “We would love to be #1 on the Oricon chart in the future. We want to be in movies and dramas and be like Arashi and Kinki Kids. I also want to work together with AKB 48!”
In December, U-KISS will release their first Japanese album and will hold their first solo concert in Japan. More information about these two major events will be revealed at a later date.

Ga-In’s loss on music programs spark criticisms on manipulated results, unreasonable standards

Ga-In’s recent defeat by 2PM on KBS’s “Music Bank” has sparked a heated debate amongst netizens and industry representatives alike. The “Irreversible” singer had already suffered a loss on Mnet’s “M Countdown” due to their unclear voting standards, as well as their restrictive system of voting (qualifying votes are made through me2day or Twitter only).
Many have already predicted her loss on “Music Bank” as well, since the program seems to cater to artists with larger fandoms.
Ga-in had a considerable lead in every category except for ‘album sales’, causing netizens to discuss the low result heatedly on online message portals. Scathing comments were left, such as, “This was manipulated. JYPE bought back their own albums in order to give the win to 2PM“, “It’s such a disappointment that a group won just because of blind album sales and not because of talent“, and “This is why the state of our music industry is such a mess.”
Part of the blame landed upon Ga-In’s agency, Nega Network, in being too careful with her promotion cycle. Nega Network did not predict that Ga-in’s solo efforts would be particularly fruitful, since Narsha’s solo debut achieved little on the music charts despite garnering much praise for her vocal talent.
Consequently, the agency produced only 10,000 copies of Ga-In’s album. Yet they failed to factor in Ga-In’s popularity from her “We Got Married” status, as she received an immense amount of support from both her fanbase and the fanbase of her ‘husband’ Jo Kwon. In any case, the situation reached a point where even if fans wanted to purchase the album, there were no albums to be sold, causing a considerable drop in her album sales score on music program rankings.
Many representatives also criticized “Music Bank” for their biased points setup. The system is set up in such a way that only the artists with the largest fanbases can win on the show. This is a substantial issue, as album sales are reflected twice as high, in comparison to other categories. Unfortunately, their setup has caused their own name to be tarnished for failing to award Ga-In. 2PM fans also received backlash for buying an excessive amount of extra albums with their recent $150,000 USD bulk purchase, thereby distorting the results.
Netizens have been pooling their support for Ga-In, and are hoping to see her win on ‘Inkigayo‘ with tears of joy alongside her husband.

SM Entertainment and CJ Media are no longer enemies

After news of two of the largest companies in Korea each running their own audition program, much attention was put on which side would win the battle of pride.
The controversy first began with MBC and SBS creating their own audition program and beginning discussions with SM Entertainment, asking for cooperation. The discussions immediately piqued the interests of industry representatives since Korea’s first original audition program, “Super Star K,” is broadcast by Mnet. With CJ Media & Entertainment being the parent group to Mnet, representatives began speculating a battle of pride between CJ’s Lee Mi Kyung and SM’s Lee Soo Man.
The rivalry between the two is a well known fact in the industry. Mnet does not service SM artists on their music sites while SME boycotts Mnet and their year-end awards, the MAMA, due to unfair voting standards. The most representative case of their ill-fated relationship lies in Mnet casting TVXQ’s Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yoochun on last year’s MAMA, fully knowing that the trio are involved with a lawsuit against SME.
Fortunately, it has recently been revealed that SME and CJE are seeking ways to join forces in what is considered to be a professional manner. The two will be avoiding the aspects of the industry that first created their enemy-like relationship and will be embarking on a completely new project.
The two companies will be joining forces for movie productions and the distribution of a variety of different content. SM Entertainment had already produced a movie in 2007 with Super Junior titled, “Attack on the Pin-up Boys” by setting up their own film enterprise, SM Pictures. Although they bravely attempted to enter the movie industry, their efforts were met with meek results. With CJE already being a veteran of the industry, combining forces with SME will only bring about more profit and success.
Representatives commented that no matter what ill feelings they had for one another, a situation has arose in which they must ‘row their paddles in the same direction’ lest both of them lose everything.
One representative stated, “For profit, anything can be put on the table. We fully believe that a warm breeze will finally blow between the two companies in the business world.”

Secret’s Han Sunhwa finally gets to meet Yoo Jae Suk in person

Secret’s Sunhwa drew a check mark on one of her wishes, as she finally met the top-dog of MCs, Yoo Jae Suk.
On the October 22nd airing of “Invincible Youth“, Sunhwa harvested a batch of sweet potatoes and made a surprise visit to the “Happy Together” set. While waiting outside the real bath house where “Happy Together” is filmed, Yoo Jae Suk came striding by as Sunhwa shouted “Oppa!” in excitement.
As Yoo Jae Suk showed his thrill in her surprise visit, Sunhwa said, “I came to give you these sweet potatoes. It’s actually an opportunity for the winner amongst G7 members, but if I give it to you before them, then that’s that.”
Inside the set, Sunhwa took a bite of the sweet potato with some refreshing kimchi and Yoo Jae Suk took his time thanking Sunhwa, causing Park Myung Soo to burst, “Be half as decent to Shin Bong Sun! Hurry up and finish. I gotta change!”, creating laughter amongst the staff.
Yoo Jae Suk thanked Sunhwa one more time, “I can’t believe she gifted me with their self-farmed goods. It was delicious.”

Yoon Si Yoon selected as the #1 date to take on Sasebo hamburger tour

“Baker King Kim Tak Gu“’s Yoon Si Yoon was voted as the number one celebrity people want to go on a Sasebo hamburger trip with.
Held from September 29th to October 20th, an international travel agency surveyed with the question, “Which celebrity do you want to go on a Sasebo hamburger trip with?” Out of 824 respondents, 504 people answered Yoon Si Yoon, placing him in 1st. Tiffany of SNSD and KARA’s Nicole nabbed 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Why specifically a hamburger trip?
Travel expert Jo Young Woo explained, “This survey was targeted at tourists traveling to Japan’s Sasebo City and to Huis Ten Bosch (a theme park in Sasebo). Sasebo is famous for being the first location in Japan to have American hamburgers – it spread from there. A lot of the tourists responded on the survey that they would like to go on a Sasebo hamburger trip.”

Taeyang Interview part 1

“Saya menghilangkan kesepian dengan mendengarkan radio”

“saat kecil,saya adalah seorang yang cengeng.Dulu saya menangis karena harus ke taman kanak-kanak di pagi hari.saya menangis karena di dalam hati bertanya-tanya ‘bagaimana jika ibu saya tidak berada di rumah saat saya kembali dari taman kanak-kanak?’.Saya adalah seorang anak cengeng yang menangis tiga atau empat kali dalam sehari’…”

Anak cengeng berhati lembut itu sangat menyukai musik .Kakaknya,yang lebih tua 5 tahun darinya,juga menyukai musik,sehingga ia dapat mengalami aliran musik yang berbeda dalam usia dini.”Saya mendengarkan banyak musik selain pop atau klasik.Saya suka sekali biografi musisi seperti Mozzart,Schubert,dan Beethoven,saya masih mengingat(biografi) mereka hingga sekarang.Ini jelas,tapi saya juga belajar piano karena saya suka musik.”

Memiliki banyak waktu sendirian ,Taeyang mulai menikmati musik dengan sungguh-sungguh.Saat di kelas empat,perusahaan ayahnya bangkrut dan yang iapun harus pindah ke rumah saudaranya.Taeyang harus hidup terpisah dari orangtuanya pada usia yang sangat dini serta berteman dengan radio dan musiknya di tempat tinggalnya yang baru.Meskipun ia tidak bisa membeli setiap kaset rekaman yang ingin ia dengarkan karena sedikitnya uang saku yang dimilikinya,dunia radio selalu menyambutnya dengan hangat.

“Saya banyak mendengarkan radio sambil menjaga diri sendiri,saat saya dipisahkan dari orangtua saya.Itu adalah masa-masa kesepian dan sulit tapi bisa diatasi karena saya bisa mendengarkan radio”

Taeyang ditinggalkan sendirian saat itu,berharap untuk membantu orangtuanya.Melihat rumahnya disita,ia belajar bagaimana rasanya kesepian,lebih awal dari orang lain seusianya.Tapi saat-saat dimana dia ditinggalkan sendirian kini telah menjadi batu loncatannya untuk tumbuh sebagai seorang penyanyi

“Pada ulang tahun ke-12 , hadiah saya untuk saya sendiri…”

Taeyang menyukai musik sejak masih kecil.Tapi,dibesarkan di rumah seorang kerabat,ia dikirim ke sebuah akademi acting.”Mungkin karena akademi acting sedang berkembang pesat pada masa itu.Sepupu saya juga masuk akademi acting,jadi saya pergi bersama-sama dengannya,Tapi itu bukanlah apa yang saya inginkan.”

Meskipun ia tidak pernah ingin menimba ilmu di akademi acting,tapi karena inilah ia mendapat kesempatan untuk menjadi seorang penyanyi.Selama di akademi acting,ia tampil dalam video klip Jinusean sebagai ‘Sean kecil’.”Akademi acting memungkin saya untuk berpatisipasi dalam audisi.Saat itu YG sedang mencari seseorang untuk membitangi video musik Jinusean,saya ikut audisi dan terpilih sebagai’Sean kecil’.

Ia bertemeu dengan Yang Hyun Suk ,perwakilan YG Entertaiment,saat sedang bekerja sebagai ‘Sean Kecil’.Di mata Taeyang kecil yang berusia 12 tahun,Jinusean dan perwakilan YG tampak sangat hebat.

“Musik dab pakaian (mereka) tampak sangat bagus.Saya piker saya harus masuk perusahaan ini,bahkan jiki saya hanya disini untuk berada dalam video musik.” Menjadi Sean kecil,ia turut serta dalam sejumlah program musik bersama Jinusean.Akhirnya,pada hari terakhir penyiaran,Taeyang sedikit menuangkan hatinya dan mengatakan ia ingin bergabung dengan YG.Yang meyakinkan bahwa dia dapat melakukannya.

“Presiden Yang Hyun Suk mengatakan ia akan memanggil saya untuk datang nanti.Mungkin itu hanya kata-kata untuk menyenangkan saya,dan itulah mengapa saya salah paham.” Taeyang menunggu selama berbulan-bulan,namun panggilan telepon tidak datang.Akhirnya , Taeyang dengan gagah memasuki gedung YG di hari ulang tahunnya dan ia langsung pergi ke kantor presiden.

“Kenapa kau tidka menelpon saya?”(Taeyang)

“…Saya lupa,Datang dan latihan dimulai besok”(Yang Hyun Suk)

Taeyang memberikan hadiah ‘memasuki YG’ kepada dirinya sendiri.Jadi dimulailah kehidupan sedih dan bahagianya menjalani latihan (trainee)

“Selama hari-hari trainee,musim panas terasa luar biasa terangnya”

Di usia 12 tahun Taeyang menjadi trainee di YG Entertaiment.Mengenang masa lalu,hari-harinya sebagai peserta pelatiahn adalah saat yang bahagia baginya,”Saya berpikir siapapun akan merasa sedih selama hari trainee mereka karena kita tak bisa berbuat apa-apa saat itu.” Dia bermimpi menjadi penyanyi karena sangat menyukai musik.,Itulah mengapa ia bisa menekan kegelisahannya.”Kami berlatih dengan kecemasan sepanjang waktu.Karena kami berlatih terus-menerus tanpa suatu janji atau periode waktu kapan kami akan melakukan debut”

“Baru-baru ini ,saya berbicara dengan Jiyoung(G-dragon) tentang bagaimana bahagianya hari trainee kami dulu.Kami tak punya banyak uang saat itu.Kadang-kadang,presiden akan memberi kami sepuluh ribu won(sekitar 100 ribu rupiah)nilai itu bagi kami cukup besar.Kami tidak hanya akan memikirkan “bagaimana kami bisa bersenang-senang” dengan mereka , tetapi juga bagaimana menggunakannya dengan hemat- apapun yang kami lakukan saat itu terasa menarik”.Saat punya uang saku,biasanya Taeyang berbelanja ke Dongdaemun bersama G-Dragon.Mereka mencari-cari pakaian murah dan bagus seperti yang biasanya dilakukan para remaja saat itu.”Bahkan saat kami hanya punya seratus ribu won,kami bisa berpakaian dari kepala sampai kaki.(Tertawa)Kami berdiri di atas panggung bersama senior kami setelah berdandan.

G-Dragon dan Taeyang lebih sibuk daripada siapapun saat itu.Memakai topi yang berbeda dalam pertunjukan senior mereka,mencari pengalaman baru.”Jiyoung dan saya adalah yang paling sibuk.Saat senior kami seprti Big Mama,Lexy dan Wheesung melakukan kegiatan,kami lebih sibuk dari mereka.”

Salah satu senior mereka,Seven sangat memperhatikan G-Dragon dan Taeyang saat mereka menjalankan trainee.”Hyung Seven pergi main wakeboard setiap musim panas,saat itu ia pasti mengajak kami dan kamipun nongkrong bersama-sama.Saya ingat musim panas yang luar biasa cerah,saat kami main wakeboard dan nongkrong.Itulah saat-saat yang bahagia bagi saya saatu itu.”

A Message From Everyone's Leader, Kim Hyun Joong

My first time starring in TV drama lead role
Have a lot of things I’ll like to say
But because of every fans’ support, I'm not disheartened
Work very hard~~~~~Endure to the last stage ^^

Erm…countless rumours, news of disapproval…
Turn a deaf ear
Rely on my own strength
Keep enduring & waiting for today’s fans arrival
To.......everyone
First, express my gratitude.......

I’m like this…
Inapprehensive ravings.....
Dislike giving everyone endless waiting with no arrangement

Hence no matter what
Would sort out first then come out
Words that I would like to tell everyone during that time
Said it so late, really sorry

In the end
Things that have been sorted out
Became more and more critical

While filming this drama
Because of the ratings
A lot of people are worried
But I however was very silently
Enduring hard times with ‘Playful Kiss’

Not as me but living as Baek Seung Jo ......

Because I ‘m not a genius
But like Baek Seung Jo, I do not know how to tell others my worries
At the same time while I’m struggling alone
Still hope that can handle it well
Seems like that.....

When I have these worries
‘If I ‘m happy, then others will be happy too’
Saw this line
Because of this line
Thought a lot

Hence I, Kim Hyun Joong
Must also live happier and meaningful.....

When I’m tired
Like to communicate and chat with fans
Am I too mysterious? Ha

I ‘m also very confident
Because at the end it’s the advocate’s cause
Knowing this requires reflection......

Before
Seems to pretend to live happily
Now I’ll do my utmost best
To gain everyone’s approval
And not deny the conclusion
Will like to become this kind of person....

From today onwards
I’ll challenge like it’s the first album^^
Really worked hard
Will be happy

August, September, October of Year 2010
Everyone defended me

I’ll defend everyone in Year 2011
Will return handsomely^^

This 3 months
Lived very happily, thanks to everyone

Everyone must also safely...
Spend the end of Year 2010^^

From today onwards
Feel that you all will be like family members ^0^

See you~~^^
21.10.2010
‘Playful Kiss’ Final

Everyone’s leader
Hyun Joong……^^
