Miss A's Suzy: Caffe Soo (카페 수)

12:40 PM
All aboard and let's go down south!

Seoul, especially, is heaven for all coffee lovers--for all the lovely themed cafe scattered around the city, but right now we're travelling a little bit farther to the south to give highlight on one of the prettiest faces', Bae Suzy, owned cafe in Gwangju, Cafe Soo!


The cafe is a gift Suzy gave to her family in 2013 (along with a new house and car that she gifted her family that year) and is being run by her own mother, who used to own a small Korean snack bar. After being able to save enough of her money, she set up this cozy cafe for her mother.

Along with the nice interior, her mother has covered the entire cafe with picture of her and Miss A, surely making it a total haven for her fans that will come by, all the way from the city.


It is located far down south in Gwangju, some hours away from Seoul (if you are coming from there), but I am sure that with the inexpensive price (compared to that of the average costs in Seoul) and the Suzy vibe you will get inside the store, the trip would be all worth it. Who knows? You might also meet her mother... or maybe Suzy herself? (me and my wishful thinking :*)

[SM STATION] 'Runnin' with Henry x Soyou

1:57 AM

Henry is the next SM artist to star in a collaboration with Sistar's Soyou!

So far, this is SM Entertainment's first attempt into doing partnership with Starship Entertainment (Sistar's agency) and surely it has peaked fans interest, mainly because it was a collab between the two agency's very talented artists.

The track, titled Runnin', is a feel good song that mixes Henry's light, easy going voice with Soyou's sweet and sometimes emotional one. It brings out an RnB feel, with a nicely arranged background music that will surely make you fall in love. 

The song comes out as a sweet serenade song in the 21st century that you will undoubtedly put on repeat on your playlist for the rest of the day. Surely, the beats are addicting and something you would want to sing and dance along to while in the kitchen and cooking your loved one their morning meal. 

And in total, rating the song, Henry and Soyou's voice combined is a total heaven. It blended so well I might really ask for a part two.

Anyway, Henry is part of Super Junior's sub-unit SJM and already had his own solo albums released previously. He is known in the group as a great composer and lyricist of his own songs, not to mention his plausible talent for dancing. He gained popularity through his activities with the group, but became more well-known through his appearance in Real Men. Soon after that, he was given gigs on variety shows to showcase his talent and later on starred at a couple of small screen dramas where he showed both his adorable side and talent in serious acting.

Meanwhile, Soyou is known as one of the members of sexy girl group Sistar. She has had in demand collaborations in the past that made her rise to fame as an individual artist, one of which is the song 'Some' with Junggigo which became a sensation in the year 2014. Soyou has been known for great collabs and this fact made this new piece from SM STATION something to look forward to on a Friday.

SM STATION is the weekly project playlist that SM Entertainment started in 2016. It has showcased various collaborations from their artists with producers and artist from other companies in the music industry.  The project, for a while, seemed too ambitious for SM, but I guess with a company like that with great talents can make anything possible.

How did you find the collab so far?
