Pickled Radish: Best Korean Fried Chicken Side Dish

I was doing grocery the other day and chance upon a Korean radish from Landmark Supermarket in Makati.  I grabbed one good size piece and boy am I ready to do that pickled radish.  Here in the Philippines fried chicken is usually paired with gravy or catsup but in South Korea, fried chicken almost always go with pickled radish.

Whenever we visit South Korea, we always order for fried chicken.  Even in HOFs, short for a bar that sells beer and chicken, customer always gets pickled radish on the side.  Surprisingly, the Korean radish does not taste as intimidating as the Philippine radish.  It does not have the strong taste rather it's a tasty version of turnips (singkamas).  



It's quite easy to make you just need Korean radish, white vinegar (the clear one) and sugar.   Just cut the Korean radish in small cubes about 1cm in size.  Mix well a part of vinegar with sugar until you don't see traces of sugar.  Put in a glass container and keep on refrigerator.  It will last for weeks because of the vinegar.   I usually follow 1:1 ratio for all the ingredients to copy that Korean taste but you can adjust based on your liking.  

The radish has to be the Korean variant, otherwise you won't be able to achieve that taste.  I tried using a local radish in the absence of the Korean variant before and it came out too strong.  It has the feel and aftertaste like wasabi.  Pickled radish is sweet and the radish is crunchy.  Goes perfectly well with that Korean fried chicken.  I am yet to discover how to make their version of breaded fried chicken.

Big Bang is Coming to Manila

Finally after all those K-POP boy and girl groups who came, the biggest is coming over in Manila this October 24, 2012.  Big Bang (빅뱅) is performing here in the Philippines for the very first time and I am so excited about it! Not to mention it will be at the Arena in MOA.  They are the only group (aside from 2NE1) that I am continuously following since I discovered their music.






Big Bang is really going global this time.  Most of the time  before or after launching an album they do stage concerts but usually just in Korea and Japan but I guess after winning the 2011 MTV Europe's best world wide act for their song 'Tonight', they are ready to face their international fans and I am so glad they have included Philippines in their Alive World Tour itinerary.

I started to listen to Korean music way back 2007 with songs from Se7en and Wheesung.  Big Bang is the first boy group that I have ever truly liked amongst the bunch of Korean Pop (KPOP) idol groups and it all started when I saw a video clip of their performance of Fool's Only Tears at the SBS Inkigayo.  Up until now, it's one of my most favorites from Big Bang they never fail to sing it during their concerts like the one below:





Since then I started collecting their album, watching their performances online and 2010 I got to watch them live from the Olympic Theater in Seoul for the YG Family Concert.  It was totally a very new experience in watching concerts with all the lights and LED display.   The theater was full of energy, I must say the Koreans are great viewers and fans.

I like that they have a flavor of R&B and Hip Hop in their music.  While initially they are being criticized from not looking the typical 'pretty boys' as the other boy groups seem to be, I thought they all looked cool and they were so different from the rest of the KPOP boy groups. 




Their two most recent albums are showing a different side of their music and I am super loving it.  Their single 'Tonight' from their Big Bang Special Edition mini album in 2011 sealed the international recognition for their existence and their last album Alive instantly made the 3 released singles certified hits.

I can't wait for October to come.  I would really go for that front seat this time.  I can't thank YG enough for bringing Big Bang here in the Philippines.  빅뱅 너무 좋아요!

City Hunter

One of the high rating TV series in South Korea dubbed in Filipino is currently airing over at ABS CBN.  City Hunter stars the very popular 이민호 ( Lee Min Ho) from the successful Korean version of Japanese manga Boys Over Flower and 박민영 (Park Minyeong) of Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

I have finished watching this drama through an online community that subs Korean dramas.  I love watching Korean dramas. Typically the production set speaks of the quality of the drama.   Judging from the location shoot and the the effects used, it is no doubt that this drama is bragged as one of the most expensive series last year.



A lot of dramas in aired in South Korea and even in Taiwan are either lifted or inspired by Japanese manga (cartoon comics) and City Hunter is no exception.  For the series in Korea, the plot was given a little twist by including events that South Korean audience can relate like the bombing that happened when the South Korean President and his delegates visited Burma, there is really a similar event that happened in the past.  While the manga had a detective playing the City Hunter role, in this series, the City Hunter is more like a vigilante who turns over criminals to the city prosecutor. 

If you read on the history of South Korea they fought poverty with much passion.  They are also guarding their democracy and is in constant fight against graft and corruption.  The story  revolved around the problem in corruption tucked in what we call 'public service' in a democratic government, something that the City Hunter is avenging on.  With this, City Hunter allowed its story to unravel not just as a love story but also something that has social relevance.  A sidelight of relationship realities on trust, loyalty, compassion and love within family and friends are also present.   

What interest me most during the entire series are the showcase of the advancement of South Korea.  From locations, technology, cars, architecture and infrastructure. The locations and interiors of the City Hunter (Lee Yoon Sung played by Lee Min ho) and his father Steve Lee's house are just amazing. The pictures below show show Lee Yoon Sung's living room and his father's office-house.



Although this is of course a fiction, the series also showed how advanced the communications is in South Korea.  In several scenes Olleh, the new lifestyle application born with the merger of KT and KTF telcos in South Korean, has been shown as customer partner with their information need.  Talking about coverage and speed of data, i think the data speed in South Korea is faster.  Last year, it was surprising for me to see commercials of telcos highlighting the difference that LTE brings in your data connection needs. Not to mention how almost everything can be ordered over the phone or online.

I have also noticed that rather than using foreign high end cars (which actually is a status symbol in South Korea if you own one) they have used some of their latest cars from Hyundai and Kia. 

Lastly, what interests most of the viewers (and I am not really an exception to this) is the presence of Lee Min Ho as the City Hunter.  How can a city hunter be as fashionable as he is:



From hairstyle, shoes, jackets and pants, the combination and colors can only be pulled off by someone like  Lee Min Ho.  He just turned face mask into a piece of fashion accessory.






Overall, i think the City Hunter is a good watch.  It definitely will give you some sort of adrenalin rush in most episodes.   I really like the way they have neatly showcased some of the Korea's bests in the story.  This surely will keep the hallyu effect (Korean wave).   I am no movie or drama expert but I typically like feel good stories. Though the ending is a bit hanging, City Hunter kept me glued on my laptop screen from start to finish.

Solar Album Shines!

By the time this is posted Taeyang has won more than 3 awards for his song I Need a Girl from various music shows in South Korea. This only shows how successful the 1st full album of Taeyang is.



It’s been two straight weeks (actually three since i started writing this post offline a week ago) that I have been playing Taeyang’s 1st full album entitled ‘Solar’. I thought I need to listen to the album again and again to know which song will be classified as the ‘IT’ song(s) for me. When an artist I like or following releases an album, I normally choose the song that I like most. For some reasons I feel like it’s a must to declare which is my favorite. More often, the carrier single stands out and when it hit the mainstream quite well the song becomes the best in the album for the fans. I sometimes feel that this becomes unfair to the other songs in the album, I feel like saying hey there are other songs worth listening in this album and not the carrier single alone. So I take time listening to the album straight for weeks and get to feel which one will grow on me.

When I heard the audio upload of the carrier single I Need a Girl over at You Tube, I instantly thought the song is quite refreshing for Taeyang. Since he started working on solo activities he released songs with strong R&B feel…the heavy ones (or dark ones). 나만 바라봐 (Naman Parabwa) and 키도 (Kido) left that impression on me. Then he released Where U At and Wedding Dress which still have that strong R&B feel. So to be listening to I Need a Girl was something refreshing to my ear. To be honest I did not feel strongly about this song until I saw the MV and when he performed it live. Seeing how Taeyang performed, I just mumbled he did it again. The same great performance and charisma he showed with the live performances of 나만 바라봐 and Wedding Dress. With this in mind, I must say Taeyang is really one excellent performer. I may not share the same views with the other about this song but what is important is how Taeyang’s performances made this song something that I would eventually like. This is what a good artist is made of, isn’t it?



Another song that gets to be performed once in a while during this album promotion is the 3rd single, Just a Feeling. It has slightly faster beat than I Need a Girl and this song really got me singing yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... Honestly I just realized singing along with Taeyang as the song plays. The beat of the song will also surely get you doing some body moves =) I can almost imagine that this song can be good for encore performances. It’s quite infectious at least on me.

What captured my heart the most was incidentally the last song in the album which is ‘Take It Slow’. I remember 1TYM having a song with the same title. The music alone is pleasing to my ears and with Taeyang’s vocals, the song left an impression of wanting to listen for more. It was sung a little soulful and Taeyang’s sweet-sexy voice made it perfect. There is not much of power vocal but purely passion and feelings in every lyric that came out from Youngbae’s voice. Taeyang is someone who sounds good when singing with heavy breathing. I easily get irritated with singers who abuses this singing style but maybe because of the nature of Taeyang’s voice, every breath that I hear sounds like a piece of his soul. In one of his interviews, he mentioned that all the songs in the album are his story; I really wonder who might be the subject of this song. Who is this person that Taeyang is asking to take things slow. So to me the best song in the album is this song. Not for any music technicality science, but the mere fact that it touches my heart and emotion as I listen to it. No wonder I keep on playing this song first whenever I choose Solar Album in my iPod. Its automatic, my finger taps on this song first.

I did not included Where U At and Wedding Dress as part of the songs to choose from as my most favorite as these songs were released digitally ahead with the other songs and they had their equal space in my heart and ears ha ha ha. I think Wedding Dress is one of the most abused songs in my iPOD along with Baby I’m Sorry from the Hot album.

I enjoyed listening to Move as well I feel like the song sounds so ghetto. The beat is nice and I find my head swaying with the song every time I hear it. It may not be a carrier single type of song but it’s certainly pleasant to the ears.

Songs which may not be my most favorite but they are songs you will not skip either on the album are Breakdown and Before You Sleep. Let me put it this way; I would rather listen to this song than some idol’s carrier single these days.

‘You’re My’ seems to be a bit short, but I love listening to it too as I can feel a lot of emotions from Taeyang’s voice. I just think some of his falsettos in this song may no longer be repeatable live or may not be consistent when performed live.



Overall, I like this album than the first one because I can certainly listen to all songs (including the intro) for start to the end. I seldom buy CDs of artists may it be Korean or American music because I only buy albums that I can listen to at least half of the songs in the entire track list. So far, Wheesung is the only Korean singer that I have been following consistently with all his albums on my CD shelf. Now, I think I will be following another artist other than Wheesung and I am certain it’s Taeyang.

Before posting this review I finally received my Solar album the ‘real thing’ last week *ahem* the deluxe edition from K-POP Mall. I thought I was going to wait for another week but it came. The album is loaded and since the CD is packaged differently instead of the usual album jacket from a regular CD you get to have this sort of booklet type album information. I can’t help but smile on this picture, isn’t he cute and sexy in this shot?



Surely I will be dosing myself with his songs, I read he is having a concert this September in Seoul…Too bad I will be there not until December so maybe I will be lucky enough to buy a DVD of his concert, I hope YG releases one.

Taeyang...More About Taeyang!

OMO Taeyang is really giving me a dose of his killer performance medicine. I am loving every single performance of him. I Need a Girl grew on me. Even if it wasn't my most favorite song in the album, I love watching him perform this song and for 2 straight weeks his Solar album has been playing on and on my car while driving.

You know when someone is good...love and recognition pours. I Need a Girl has already took the place of the number 1 spot at MNET Countdown twice in row and now he also hit the same spot at KBS Music Bank.




I am so happy for Taeyang, the guy has really worked hard to come this far. I am amazed that every performance is as interesting as the first one. Since he started working on his solo activities he never failed to get my interest with his great performance. I know he may not have that super great voice but he truly knows how to work on his craft. Overall his live performance and MVs always come out perfect.

I thought of buying his album in time for my December visit in Seoul but after knowing that I maybe left with just the regular packaged album, I grabbed the opportunity of buying the deluxe version over at KPOP Mall.



I can't wait to get hold of this album, i hope it gets delivered next week. Thanks to AA Chan blog site, I learned that there are so many nice freebies included in the deluxe packaging of the album.

Taeyang deserves a big congratulations for making this album...way to go -- hit number one in Music Core and SBS Inkigayo. 태양씨 화이팅!

ISWAK Korean Version Soon!

It has recently been out that the Korean version of my favorite Taiwanese Drama 'It Started with a Kiss' is on he works now. Group Eight, the production team responsible for Goong (Princess Hours) and Boys Over Flowers, will be doing the Korean version of this Japanase manga 'Itarazura Na Kiss'.



I am super in-love with the simple, funny and cute plot of this drama. I think the Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin tandem made this drama a lot more interesting. They were so funny and cute together. I must say Ariel Lin did a perfect job with the character.

When Korea announced that they are doing a version of Boys Over Flowers, i knew it will be as exciting as the two other versions. I was not happy initially on the casting but later on the artists grew on me that I like Lee Minho now but definitely Jerry Yan is still my favorite Domyuji. For ISWAK Korean version, rumors says Kim Hyun Joong will play the role. I really love Joe Cheng when he played Zhishu and at this moment I can't see that character with Hyun Jung.



I know Hyun Jung's fans will not like me for this, but i wish there would be someone else who has stronger features to act as Zhishu. I have always associated Hyun Jung with his soft and loving character in BOF. I was thinking maybe Jang Geun Suk can be that guy but he is already in another drama. Nevertheless, I am pretty sure ISWAK Korean version would be something worth watching with just the story line, I can imagine the laughter and drama that it will bring me.

Drama Review: You're Beautiful




The Main Casts:

• 장근석 Jang Geun Seok as Hwang Tagyeong
• 박신혜 Park Shin Hye as Go Minam/ Go Minyeo
• 이홍기 Lee Hong Gi as Jeremy
• 중 용화 Jung Yong Hwa as Kang Shinwoo
• UEE as Yoo Heyi

Brief Synopsis:

Another Korean drama that I regret not watching as soon as the DVD hits the market is 미남이시네요 (Minamishineyo) literally "You're a handsome man" or "You're Minam". The English title however as released is ‘You’re Beautiful’.

The story of the drama revolved around the popular boy band A.N.JELL who is in search for an additional member. The complication starts when the supposed new member 고미남 (Go Minam) got cosmetic surgery problem causing his younger twin sister 고미녀(Go Minyeo) to temporarily replace him while he recuperates from corrective measures done in the US.

Being a girl who grew up in a convent, aspiring to be a nun, Minyeo had to adjust to this new role she is about to take part; a gender bender debuting as new member of A.N.JELL --Minam. Despite resistance from A.N.JELL lead 황태경 (Hwang Taegyeong), Minyeo has been received as new member along with two other member Jeremy and 강신우 (Kang Shin Woo).

The three boy members learned that Minyeo is in fact a girl and all ended up liking her. However, Minyeo fell in love with Taegyeong. They became closer day by day, Taegyeong getting used to Minyeo’s honest and pure personality. A love triangle is formed with the entry of 유헤이 (Yoo He Yi), a famous young actress dubbed as the national fairy. She developed feelings for Taegyeong. She learned about Mi Nam being a girl and used the circumstance to get hold of Taegyeong to form a fake relationship with him entangling Minam and Shin Woo who secretly roots for Minam.
As the real Minam comes back, Minyeo has to go back to being her true self.

As if it would mean finally being Taegyeong’s girl, the love story had a twist with Taegyeong hating her for a moment as he learned that Minyeo and Minan are the twins of the composer whom her mother loves so deeply. Minyeo’s father is the person who caused his abandonment by his mother모화란 (Mo Hwa Ran) at an early age. It was later on revealed that Hwa Ran, who is also a famous singer, had a one-sided love for Minyeo’s father. The truth behind the song ‘어떡하죠’ (Otteokhajyo – What Should I do) is that it was composed by Minyeo’s father for her mother and not as a song for Hwa Ran as she claims. Taegyeong still ended up doing a remake of the song not for her mother (as she is insisting) but a song that he sings for A.N.JELL. In the end, Minyeo and Taegyeong succeeded in their love.

My Review:

Although I must admit I was very reluctant to watch this drama, my impression made a great turn around. This drama ended December 2009 and I snubbed it as I see Coffee Prince from the plot not to mention, I have this little dislike of Park Shin Hye. After watching it marathon for almost 2 days, I realized it fits all my criteria for a favorite drama.



You’re Beautiful has a simple story. It doesn’t have much of evil works from an antagonist. The story is so light, something that I can actually relate being a fan of few Korean Pop Idol bands. The plot maybe a mixed of several drama I have watched but I think the casting was good enough to keep me interested all the way.

The characters were neatly blended in the overall story. The role of Park Shin Hye reminds me of course of Eun Hye’s role as Eun Chan in Coffe Prince but nevertheless I think she also played the role well. It’s good though that her ‘true gender’ has been discovered early on, so that made it a little different from Coffee Prince but quite similar to Hana Kimi.

The original members of A.N.JELL did not really captured my interest on the onset. They were good looking but nothing spectacular really but as I watched the drama, interest on Taegyeong’s character grew on me. Geun Seok played Taegyeong’s role well as a snob leader with distinct charisma. If there is anything that I like with him purely, it’s his voice. His deep big voice, is commanding making him a good choice for the character.



I am surprised to know that Geun Seok is the same guy who played the young emperor lover of actress Ha Ji Won in the Korean period drama Hwang Jini. Honestly, I am annoyed with his nose; it also made him look different from his previous role. It puzzles me if he had cosmetics done on his face because he looks a bit stronger compared to his face during Hwang Jini. But it doesn’t really matter; I like how he played the role and he somehow had this chemistry with Shin Hye. For some reasons, I see some images of Lee Min Ho with his acting.



The dorky character of Hong Ki as Jeremy was one of the best sidelights of the drama. Hong Ki was cute and funny. I could very well relate him to the character of Jiro Wang in Hana Kimi when he almost fell in-love with a fellow guy not knowing that Ella is actually a girl. It’s just that I find him cuter than Jiro when he shows that confused cum worried face look.



Shiwoo’s character is also reminiscent of the famous Boys Over Flower’s Ji Hoo. Made me think Yong Hwa can also play the said role from BOF. He was effective with his character and I actually find him more masculine than Hyun Joong . Though it may be sad that another good boy is rejected by the main girl character, on a personal note I would also make the lead girl character choose Taegyeong but the story wouldn’t be as interesting without Shiwoo.

What added to my surprise is the fact that all the boys can sing. All along I thought they were all just acting though I know Hong Ki is from FT Island. Yong Hwa apparenty is also from boy band C.N. Blue. But the biggest surprise of them all is Jang Geun Seok, whom I am completely clueless as to his ability to sing. I love his speaking voice and was thinking the singing voice is a ghost singer. After doing some online research I learned that he does sing well and has released singles for advertisement. Suddenly I became interested with Geun Seok, I totally love all the songs he sang in the drama, from his own version of 어떡하죠 (Eotteokhajyo) – ‘What Should I do?’ to his neat rendition of Without Words which was the first song they sang on stage with Minam. Goodbye is also a pleasure to my ears; in fact even his Fly Me to the Moon rendition in one of the scenes where he played the piano was really good too.

People may find it boring and old plot but this is the type of drama that I love to watch. Light and feel good --just like It Started with a Kiss, Coffee Prince, Boys over Flowers, Love Concerto and Shining Inheritance to name a few of my favorites. All of these dramas were big hits and in most cases number 1 in TV ratings. On the contrary, You’re Beautiful aired alongside the very successful action drama IRIS. This explains the ratings that it got from TV viewership. Well at least it gained popularity on-line being one of the most viewed and talked upon K-drama over the internet.

If you are someone who wants to be entertained, then I recommend you watch this drama.

K-POP Idols Invade Philippines

K-Pop artists seldom go to the Philippines to perform or hold a concert. Thanks to the these Korean dramas subbed in Filipino, a lot of pinoys are now riding the Korean wave.

Last month, the girl band 4Minute had their first concert here in the Philippines and few weeks after it was F.T. Island's turn to mesmerize pinoys with their music. This April another big name in the K-Pop world is having a One Night Only concert here in the Philippines, its no other than the 12-man idol group Super Junior.



Suju fans here in the Philippines can finally get a taste of live performance from their idol on April 10 at the Araneta Coliseum. The concert is yet to happen and there is a new K-Pop idol group who will soon grace the country, U-KISS.

I hope Big Bang, 2NE1 or even just Taeyang (태양) gets to visit the Philippines for a show too. It would be extra special to have Wheesung (휘성) but i really don't know if this will ever come true.

Love U by Howl and OSTs Etc.

One of the reasons why I like Korean dramas are the good sound track that goes along with it. This is one of the factors that I consider for marking a drama my all time favorite. To date, I think I only have It Started With a Kiss (ISWAK) and Princess Hours (궁 - Goong)as dramas with fantastic OST. That means not just one or two songs are favorited but most of it.

Of the recent dramas that I have finished watching, I think the Boys Over Flowers (꽃보다 남자 - Kkotboda Namja) is one of those dramas that I may have to go up with ISWAK and Goong in my own level of drama ranking. My most favorite drama OST gets to have its own playlist on my iPOD.



I love listening to most of the songs from Boys Over Flower's OST and it earned a playlist on my iPOD =) the playlist includes the following songs:

- Love U by Howl
- 알고있나요 (Algoittnayo - I Know) by Someday
- I Know (Sax Version)
- Stand by Me by Shinee
- 내 머리가 나빠서 (Nae Moriga Nappaso - Because I'm Stupid) SS501
- Paradise by T-Max
- 아쉬운 마음인걸 (Ashuiun Maeuminkeol - Yearning of Heart) by A'ST1
- Lucky by Goo Hye Sun

Of these songs, i really like the one sang by Howl. Now I get a recall from this name. Revisiting Goong OST he is actually the guy in the duet Perhaps Love and the one who sang another song entitled Stay. I get a little trivial with his name, how come his name is Howl and he seems to be good in singing OSTs but I never actually saw him in any TV performance nor did I heard of his own album. Behind that really good voice is this face:



I love this guy's voice. He is good at singing ballads, his voice is the type that can serenade your heart. Now, it makes me want to see his live performance. I'd better do a little research about Howl, he seems to be an artist worth listening to.

Can't Get Over Taeyang

I still can get over Taeyang's performances of Wedding Dress. I never get tired of watching him perform this song live. Always mesmerizes me with his charisma on stage.



Recently he guested at Strong Heart. It was so refreshing to see him smiling all through out. Taeyang has leveled up his hotness and charm indeed. He looks so confident answering questions and even sharing his feelings. Interestingly, Daesung was also there who is quite a big fun in the show.

There was this dance battle between Taeyang and Eunhyuk of Super Junior. It was true that they are both good but personally i think Taeyang is better than Eunhyuk. Taeyang's dance moves are smooth and really polished. I also like his facial expression when he dances. No wonder even JYP thinks Taeyang as one of the most improved artists.

YG Sparked SBS Gayo 2009

Whenever i watch SBS Gayo, I always remember watching it first 2007. The performance from YG Family just got me hooked on Korean R&B. It's at SBS Gayo 2007 that I get to know Big Bang, and what got my attention really is that opening number from Taeyang.

This year, YG with 2NE1 and Big Bang's GD and Taeyang added full spark to SBS Gayo 2009. Well this event runs as sort of year end Music Festival. Highlighting the music industry's brightest and best.

Who would have thought that Taeyang would really go far with his solo career. Since he debuted with 나만 바라봐 (Naman Parabwa - Look Only at Me), i have always looked forward seeing him solo. Of course this doesn't mean my admiration for Big Bang has lessen, to me they are still the best boy group in K-POP. It's just that Taeyang is really my most favorite in the group. As expected he just swept everyone with his brilliant performance of 나만 바라봐 and his current hit digital single Wedding Dress.



He owned the stage completely with his singing and great dancing skills. Everytime I see him on stage perform, it makes me really wonder how he always say he is shy... because he transforms into one hot performer.



He knows how to play on stage really. Just can't get enough of Taeyang. I wish he releases his second album soon. 2NE1 on the other hand is the IT Girl Group of the year, well at least that is on my personal opinion. Their presence on stage is indeed a statement with just the 4 of them -- they can truly set the stage on fire more so with GD and Taeyang around.



I think for this year... the younger generation of YG conquered the stage. They were really good but I also miss seing 1TYM, Jinusean, Se7en and of course Big Bang in action.

Credits to alwaystaeyang for all the videos.

Wedding Dress Seals My 2009

In the K-POP music arena... there are only two solo artists that I look forward to... Wheesung (휘성) and Taeyang (태양). Mid October Wheesung released his 6th Full Album entitled Vocolate while Taeyang released 2 singles of which Wedding Dress is the last.

This song is totally addicting, more so the video which showcased Taeyang's hotness as usual.



After seeing the MV i know there will be great live performance of this song with all the smooth moves from Taeyang. Just as I expected, he conquered the stage again!



I hope he launches his album soon.
