It’s Time for Secret!

song-jieun_19221589655_o2nd July 2015 – Secret kick-started their first ever Asia fan meeting in Singapore on 27th June 2015, at the Resorts World Theatre in Resorts World Singapore.

The night was brought alive with enthusiasm and excitement as fans cheered and screamed in joy at the sight of the initial curtain lift, bringing to view the four gorgeous members who immediately belted out top hits ‘Poison’ and ‘Madonna’.

Decked out in light pink outfits, the members greeted the excited Singapore fans individually in their own unique ways. Leader Hyoseong presented herself in English as the “Cutie & Sexy Leader” while member Sunhwa greeted everyone with “大家好” (Hello everybody in Mandarin) amidst screams from adoring fans.

When quizzed on what they’ve been busy with, Hyoseong shared that she’s been busy with her solo comeback which has been challenging but thoroughly enjoyable so far. Rapper Hana expressed that she had challenged acting for the first time in her life, and also disclosed that she is currently working on her solo album. Main vocalist Jieun, with her recent involvement in the TV drama – “The Superman Age“, was asked what super power she would like to have if she could choose one. She chose the power of being able to eat everything and not gain weight, drawing agreement from members and fans alike. Lastly, Maknae Sunhwa shared that she has been busy studying Mandarin, and flaunted her specially prepared Mandarin phrases with confidence and close to perfect enunciation. Perhaps fans can look forward to her possible foray into the Chinese acting market!

Prior to the start of the fan meet, fans were also given the chance to write down questions that they had for Secret. A curious fan asked: “Who can reach the highest note?” To this, members sang notes in a round-robin fashion but a clear winner was undecided as all of them gave their best and proved to be good at it. Secret was also asked: “Which member will get married first?” Jieun surprised Hyoseong as she thought her unnie would be the earliest in the group to get married – to which the leader quickly expressed that she wishes to get married late and thought that Hana would get married the fastest since she is currently attached. Hana agreed with Hyoseong and said that it was mainly because she felt that as a woman, being able to receive love was a very happy thing.

The fan meet quickly moved on to the anticipated ‘fan service’ segment, where four lucky fans gained an exclusive opportunity to play games with, and to get up close and personal with their favourite Secret members. In this round, members and fans were to play darts using the Kinect machine and the Secret member – Fan team with the highest accumulated points would win the game. Due to a slight technical mishap, the game could not proceed and all four fans lucked out, as not one, but all four of them managed to receive autographed water tumblers and a group photo polaroid!

To combat the hot sweltering heat in Singapore and for the passionate fans, Secret next performed the summer suitable upbeat song ‘Yoohoo’ and ‘Shy Boy’. During the performance of ‘Shy Boy’, Sunhwa was seen encountering some problems with her ear piece but kudos to her for maintaining her professionalism and smiles throughout the song. Secret also displayed dedication for their fans when they shared that the songs they had sung so far were chosen after they specially researched on which Secret songs Singapore fans favoured.

A second round of games ensued and this time round, four brave male fans who took off their tops the fastest were invited up on stage to stand a chance in winning prizes and a group photo with Secret through a game of charades. With the members acting out the words and the fans guessing the words, Sunhwa‘s team emerged the winner and the lucky fan got a chance to take a solo shot with all four Secret members!

Secret ended the night with words of thanks and appreciation to the Singapore fans, and presented their final song of the night, ‘Together’, seemingly telling Secret Times that they will ‘always 언제나 forever with you’.

What’s a music stage without an encore, right? Secret came out one last time for an encore song after cheers of “Secret” and “Encore” were heard. Fans were left with warm happy feelings as the night ended off with a group photo and the upbeat song ‘Love is MOVE’. Lucky Cat 1 fans also had a chance for a high touch opportunity with their favourite Secret member.

Were you one of the enthusiastic screaming fans? Share with us your personal experience of that night!

NEW SKECHERS FLAGSHIP STORE AT NGEE ANN CITY, SINGAPORE

Come 26 June 2015, SKECHERS Singapore is set to open their new flagship store to the public at Ngee Ann City, #B2-04. The new 1,700sqf space in Singapore is the first Asian flagship store to embrace an industrial and modern concept, accompanied by a touch of vintage elements.

The store entrance is framed by a brick wall to give a raw industrial edge that is juxtaposed by the modern inviting interior. Utilizing silver metal supports with exposed welds and fasteners, the store space is given a constructed and contemporary look. Reclaimed natural wood is used to inject warm accents to the overall space, as well as segmenting the collections. On top of that, the new flagship uses LED backlit technology to establish a “mixed-bag” vernacular, a technique widely practiced amongst today’s leading interior architects.

PPALI-PPALI from Korea!

MaskONE to air prime-time dramas within 24 hours from its premiere in South Korea!

Singapore, 18 May 2015 ONE, the number one Korean entertainment channel in Singaporet, is bringing the spirit of “PPALI-PPALI” (pronounced as ‘pah-li pah-li’) – the commonly-used Korean phrase meaning “quickly” – to the television screen.

The PPALI-PPALI show time on ONE will begin this month, showing the latest, prime-time drama offerings from top South Korean broadcasting network Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS), within 24 hours of their original broadcast.  The dramas will air with localised subtitles, to complete the drama-watching experience for viewers.

To accommodate this exciting new development, the mini-series time-belt on ONE, which was originally from Mondays to Thursdays, will now be shifted to Tuesdays to Fridays, at 8.55pm/7.55pm (JKT).

The PPALI-PPALI show time will kick off with Mask, a melodrama about a woman who assumes another’s identity and enters the elite “chaebol” (a family-owned industrial conglomerate) world.  Standing out from the other aristocratic ladies, she captures the eye and eventually, the heart, of a charismatic but repressed young heir.  Mask features a star-studded cast including veteran, international award-winning actress Soo Ae (King of Ambition), leading heartthrob Joo Ji Hoon and Hoya (My Lovely Girl), a member of Korean pop group INFINITEMask is set to premiere on 28 May, within 24 hours of its Korean telecast.  New episodes will air every Thursday and Friday at 8.55pm/ 7.55pm (JKT), first and exclusively on ONE.

Also airing soon on the PPALI-PPALI show time is True Romance, a heartwarming story about a young woman who – despite her luxurious, privileged background – decides to take on a part-time job at a food market so she can find a man who truly loves her.  True Romance boasts a colourful ensemble of young Korean stars, including After School’s UEE, Sung Joon and ZE:A member Park Hyung Sik. True Romance will premiere on 9 June, within 24 hours of its Korean telecast.  New episodes will air every Tuesday and Wednesday at 8.55pm/ 7.55pm (JKT), first and exclusively on ONE.

“As the pioneer and the leading Korean entertainment channel in the region, ONE has always served up the best the industry has to offer, to the fans here.  We are thrilled to be the first to bring, not 1 but 2 of the latest South Korean prime-time drama series to audiences within 24 hours of their airing, as part of our commitment to presenting fresh and top-rated content to our loyal viewers.  The Korean wave is well and truly alive in Southeast Asia, and we believe the PPALI-PPALI show time will take it to the next level,” says Ms Virginia Lim, Vice President of Content & Marketing for Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia.
