Shining Boys : SHINee

Hello! Annyeonghaseyo! 안녕하세요! ^^

How's your day guys? After the profile of Girls' Generation or So Nyuh Shi Dae (소녀 시대) -that I'm sure the boys definitely like it- I'll give a special idol group for the girls! Let me introduce those five gorgeous boys....

^^ SHINee ^^

SHINee (샤이니) is one of popular boybands in South Korea. They was formed by SM Entertainment in 2008. SHINee is a contemporary R&B boyband. Since their debut, Shinee has released two full-length albums, three mini-albums, and various singles. They have also won many awards, held a concert tour and starred in their own reality shows. Shinee is considered to be a fashion icon having started the "Shinee Trend". They made their Japanese debut in May 2011 by releasing a Japanese version of their single, "Replay".

My favorite SHINee's reality show is "SHINee Hello Baby" where the five boys become five appas (dads) and they have to take care of a four years old (in Korean age, three years old in universal age) baby Jung Yoogeun.

Holiday Destinations in Asia

Final exam is OVER! It's almost holiday here, in Indonesia! Maybe it's already holiday for some of you :)
Now, I wanna share some of interesting places in Asia that can be added to your holiday destination list. Check them out! ☺

1. Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia

First, I wanna introduce you one of beautiful beaches in my country, Indonesia. Kuta Beach is a famous one. A lot of tourists, foreign or domestic, visit this beach. It can be really crowded here in holidays. You can try some watersport, like jet ski, banana boat, parasailing, surfing, etc. You also can just sit and sunbathing or make a sand castle ;) Beside Kuta Beach, Bali has some of other beautiful beaches such as Nusa Dua Beach, Sanur Beach, etc. There are some beautiful beach too outside Bali. You can visit Senggigi Beach (Lombok), Pangandaran Beach (West Java), etc. We also have Bunaken Marine Park for a great sea-sightseeing :)

2. Ko Samui, Thailand

Ko Samui, island of Surat Thani Province, is an island off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus in Thailand. It has its own airport (named Ko Samui Airport) so you can reach this island easily. After the exploding tourism in Ko Samui there has been a growth in building resorts, bungalows and luxury private villas on the island. It also has some beautiful beaches such as Chaweng Beach, Lamai Beach, Maenam Beach and Bophut Beach. You can enjoy snorkeling here, with a great view of underwater world, kayaking at Coral Island, or have a jungle trip by riding an elephant. What a great experience to share with your mates!


3. Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo is one of great cities in the world. It located in Japan and has some of interesting place to visit. If you wanna have some fun and go shopping, visit Tokyo! There are so many places to visit here such as Harajuku (a central place of extreme Japanese teenager's culture), Asakusa (the tone of the old Tokyo, where Sensoji, a popular Buddhist temple was built in the 7th century), Shibuya, Ginza, and Shinjuku (shopping and entertainment area), The Imperial Garden, or the beautiful Ueno Park which has some notable art museums. Visiting Tokyo can be entertaining and educating :)


4. Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

Located in the mid-western part of Korea, Gyeonggi-do embraces Seoul and Incheon. It offers a variety of beautiful tourist destinations and cultural facilities along the Hangang River. Gyeonggi-do is also proud to embody traditional Korean culture with such places as the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, the Korean Folk Village and Icheon, which is famous for ceramics. Moreover, visitors can also visit Everland, a huge and exciting amusement park. Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, is also a place for shopping and entertainment. You can see the beauty of Seoul on this music video by 소녀 세대 (SNSD or Girls Generation) and Super Junior.

That's all my recommendation for Holiday Destinations in Asia. Are you interested to visit one of them? ☺
