B-Boys and the Korean Models

After surviving through a tremendously stressful and busy period plus lots of late nites, i can now start to relax coz. my event is finally over. Yipee! Time to catch up with my sleep, reading, friends, korean dramas and of course, blogging. Ha ha!

I am glad my event went well. After all the hard work, it's good to see the good results and people are happy with it.

Anyway, one of the things which i enjoyed most this time is the stage programs. There's the very talented B-Boys who entertained all with their non-stop entertaning and high energy break dance. They are really good!

If you are just like me who initially do not know much about the B-Boys, well ... it refers to a male who practices what the media refers to as breakdancing. B-Boy refers to a break dancer that has mastered the toughest hip-hop dance moves. They show a variety of acrobatic dance techniques that challenge the limits of physical flexibility and power. Recently South Korean B-boys have been dominating international competition by taking first place in 2002, 2004 and last year at Germany's annual Battle of the Year (BOTY), the world's most prestigious break dance competition.



For the B-Boys performance brought in by Korea National Tourist Organization, i've just counted and i've watched it 6 times. Once in KL, 3 times on friday and twice on sunday. But still, i'm not bored with it. In fact, i want to see more coz. they are really fantastic.

I'm not bragging. Here's the prove.

The Korean B-Boys


They are really good. All my colleagues are a BIG fan of the B-Boys.



Not enough ... here's more.



There's also the Korean models showcasing various forms of the beautiful Korean Hanbok brought in by Daegu Metropolitan City, Korea and Korea Tourism Organization. The models are really gorgeous and whenever they perform, the stage area is packed to the brim.



The good thing is that there were photo opportunities for the visitors to take pictures with them on stage after the performance. I was telling my colleague that most of the visitors who go on stage to take photos with these babes are mostly guys. Ha ha!


The models look like they are just of average height. But when i stand next to them, gosh ... it makes me look really short.





Btw, that's Miss Daegu in blue. She's really pretty. During my event, Korea was promoting Daegu quite agressively. It's the fourth largest city in South Korea after Seoul, Busan, and Incheon and it's famous for its textile and beauty. For many years in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, most winners of the Miss Korea beauty pageant came from Daegu.



Besides the koreans, Japan National Tourist Organization also brought in the Ninja's, all the way from Edo Wonderland. It's a culture theme park that recreated the ancient town and buildings of Edo period of Japan (1603-1868). You get to meet
samurai and ninja there. But well, i'm a little disappointed with their performance. They could have shown us more of what they could do.



And not forgetting the taiwanese performing troupe from the Zu-Yun Cultural Music and Dance group brought in by Taiwan Visitors Association. The guys are all really young, all 16 years old with the exception of one who is 22yrs.



I wasn't working on saturday. When i went back to work on sunday, my colleagues and emcee were telling me that the taiwanese dancers went all out to perform. What do they mean? Well, look at the photos below and you will understand. But well, that's how their performance amd dance item is.

Sorry to disappoint. These guys ain't doing the full monty. Ha ha!



The performers had fun. And so do i. It was hard work for all.
