"Love Rain" : Happy Ending, Unsatisfactory Ratings


KBS 2TV drama series “Love Rain” ended miserably with low single-digit viewership ratings.

According to AGB Nielson Media Research, the final episode of “Love Rain” aired on May 29th, 2012 achieved the ratng of 5.9%. Although it’s an increase of 0.6% over the previous episode, but it still couldn’t get rid of single-digit audience ratings, concluded with the result of lowest ranking among Monday and Tuesday drama.

In the last episode, Seo In Ha (Jung Jin Young) and Kim Yoon Hee (Lee Mi Sook) end the romance between them for the sake of their children, while Seo Joon (Jang Geun Suk) and Jung Ha Na (YoonA) are finally tie the knot, welcoming the happy ending.

On the other hand, broadcasting at the same time slot, MBC’s “Lights and Shadows” rated 20.5% while SBS’s “The Chaser” rated 9.9%.

"PAPARAZZI" MV is the biggest Girls' Generation MV by scale


Girls’ Generation’s upcoming Japanese single, “PAPARAZZI”, will have a music video that is much bigger in scale than any other music video Girls’ Generation has filmed before.

The music video will start off with a scene of the girls avoiding the paparazzi as they head to the stage, and the highlight is a different style of costume in each scene.

In order to prepare for the filming, a set was built that faithfully reproduced a foreign street, including each nuance that would be on a street. With a total of over 30,000 lights used, a week needed to create the buildings, 120 people hired on staff, and 300 people casted for the music video, this set is the biggest in scale compared with what Girls’ Generation has worked with in the past.

In relation to the title “PAPARAZZI”, the choreography includes the action of taking pictures, and this certainly goes with the girls’ surroundings of continually being the main focus of the media’s attention as they travel around the world.
