[NEWS] BIGBANG'S BLOOD TYPES

Characterizing personality by blood type is quite popular in Asian countries, and the phenomenon is comparable to the idea of matching horoscope with someone’s personality in the States. If you have had any Korean or Japanese friends, you’ve probably been asked, “What’s your blood type?” at one point in your life. While
looking to your blood type to make sense of your personality may seem like a far-fetched idea, sometimes you just can’t deny how accurately they characterize you. Plus, it’s all for fun and games!

Blood Type A : Kind, Careful, Perfectionist (G-Dragon)
People with blood type A are usually serious, patient, and perfectionists. They like to plan things out in detail before pursuing their goals. They’re very cautious and stubborn, and others perceive their desire to make everything perfect as obsessive and uptight. Type As are also very timid and indecisive in awkward situations. They’re sensitive and sentimental, often forgetting reality and getting lost in dreams.

Best traits: conservative, introverted, patient, punctual, perfectionists

Blood Type B: Bright, Attractive, Frank (TOP & Taeyang)
Men with blood type B have acquired a very negative reputation in Korea. They’re often described as selfish and temperamental. To a degree, they’re considered the worst husband materials because of their “playboy” nature. That said, women are often attracted to men with the “bad-boy” image. A spontaneous and passionate type B man. However, her sister is completely against the two together in fear that her sister will end up as another victim of his whims. While type B men have acquired such negative reputations, women with this blood type do not share the same bad rep. People with blood type B are known to be passionate and creative, yet sometimes they get caught up in their own world and end up seeing self-centered to others. If they find something they’re interested in, they’ll forget everything else. On the other hand, they also get bored easily.

He won the Best Male Rookie award at the 31st Blue Dragon Film Awards and the Best New Actor, as well as the Most Popular Award, at the 47th Baeksang Awards, for his role in the blockbuster movie “Into the Fire,” starring A-listers Kim Seung Woo, Kwon Sang Woo, and Cha Seung Won.

[NEWS] FRENCH & SPANISH ARE BIGBANG FANS

Korean pop, or K-pop, is driving the Korean Wave abroad and Asian women in their 20s make up the majority of overseas hallyu fans, a survey found on Monday.

The Korea Tourism Organization conducted the online hallyu survey on 12,085 non-Korean visitors from 102 countries to its website (www.visitkorea.or.kr) from May 11 to May 31, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the website. The survey asked seven questions related to the Korean Wave in eight languages ― English, Japanese, traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, German, French, Spanish and Russian ― on the site, via e-mail and on social networking services such as Twitter and Facebook.

Asked to select a category of hallyu that interests them, 55 percent of respondents, 6,447 people, picked K-pop. This was followed by TV drama with 33 percent, film with 6 percent and others with 7 percent. Others included TV variety shows such as KBS’ “2 Days & 1 Night,” Korean food, shopping and cosmetics.

Out of the 12,085 respondents, 9,253 were from Asia, 2,158 from Europe, 502 from the Americas, 112 from Africa and 60 from Oceania.

By age group, 49 percent of the respondents were in their twenties, followed by those in their thirties at 18 percent, teenagers at 17 percent and those in their forties at 8 percent.

By gender, 90 percent or 10,826 respondents were female.

Asked which hallyu celebrity they wish to travel with in Korea among 30 stars or groups recommended by the KTO,Five-member band Bigbang came second with 9 percent.

The interest in hallyu celebrity differed from language to language. French and Spanish users preferred Bigbang.

Japanese users showed more interest in TV drama than in K-pop and more than 50 percent of Japanese respondents were women in their 40s and 50s. Japanese in their 20s and 30s showed the strongest interest in K-pop.

Among the French speaking respondents, K-pop fans were mostly teenagers or in their 20s, and preferred going to amusement parks or karaoke to experiencing Korea’s traditional culture and history, the KTO said.

Foreign respondents overseas picked Seoul and Jeju Island as the travel destination in Korea that they would like to visit with their hallyu star.
