Sunday, June 28, 2009 FT Island, kpop band, Singapore trip coverage [PHOTOS]
the boys (younger than me), were here in Singapore for their concert showcase held at St James Power Station on Saturday. They reached Singapore around 10+pm +8GTM on 250609. With the H1N1 invading the world, the boys wore mask for protection therefore you could see them in the facemask.
The popularity of FTI in Singapore shouldn't be under-estimated. The amount of Fans that attend the arrival at Changi Airport is beyond what i thought. fangirls wearing bits of sunshine yellow (official colour for FTI) and some even painted their nails yellow.

Fan chanting while waiting could also be heard, singing parts of Shinee - 누난 너무 예뻐, 2PM - Again & Again,10점 만점에 10점 and SUJU - Sorry Sorry proved that kpop market still stand a chance in Singapore.
This must be their happiness day maybe in 2009, i dare not assume in their whole live. Might be their first time seeing their idol. After all the waiting, some waited for almost 6hours or more to grab a better spot to see, the moment arrived and all the fangirls screams.

Friday, May 22, 2009 Korean News on Wondergirls Popularity in Singapore
This is the news that Singapore has fallen into the ‘Nobody’ dance craze from the Wonder Girls. It was reported on the 17th, through Singapore’s mass media that Wonder Girls have a lot of popularity under the name “Nobody Dance craze”.
Wasn’t it USA that Wonder Girls went to? But it’s not the USA they went to that they are so popular in but it’s Singapore. It is a happy thing that that Wonder Girls’ songs are not only popular in Korea but in other countries as well.
So will they breakthough Singapore instead of USA? It was said that in Singapore, not only Wonder Girls fans but also Clubbers, Students have fallen into Wonder Girls’ ‘Nobody’ dance. But yes, last year there was also a time when we fell into the craze thanks to Nobody’s catchy melody.
Here they’ve fallen into the craze only now. How is it? The song wraps itself around your ear, doesn’t it?
‘Nobody’ is easy to memorise melody and provoking dance is creating a hot wind in whole Asia. According to Singapore, ‘Nobody’ is not only played in clubs but the dance is also taught in dance schools.
Wonder Girls have performed ‘Nobody’ at the ‘Korean Pop Night Concert’ at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in November last year. Is that the reason for their popularity? Wonder Girls are no longer unknown singers in Singapore. Well isn’t it a natural thing that they have captivated Singaporeans with the friendly melody and dance? And there is even a netizen who goes often to the club and teaches the ‘Nobody’ dance through the internet?
Our Wonder Girls whom we are proud of. With the charm that they have captivated Singapore we hope they will captivate USA in a flash.
