[COVER] Singapore Fans Charmed By Korean-Taiwanese Singer Bii At His Music Showcase

Korean-Taiwanese singer Bii (毕书尽) held a successful music showcase at The Star Theatre last Saturday, 17 June, charming Singapore fans with a good mix of Mandarin and Korean songs.

The showcase was a prelude to his first ever large-scale concert in Taiwan that’s slated to take place at the end of the year, and it was also the singer’s first and only music showcase this year.

Singapore fans were treated to an eye-opening show with an amazing live band whom toured with Bii specially for the showcase. The performances were segmented into different genres such as rock, slow-rock and ballad, followed by intimate talk sessions in between as well as activities with fans on stage.

Some familiar tracks heard that evening included Bii’s self-composed songs like ‘Come Back To Me‘, ‘By My Side‘, ‘I Will Miss You‘, ‘幸福無關‘ and several more.

Fans who attended the showcase were also showered with a heavy dose of sweetness from the heart-throb, as Bii fulfilled fan requests to sing any song that were voted and picked out for him. He also gave out handshakes, hugs and even took selfies with lucky fans whom were selected to go on stage.

Serenading the audience with his sweet and solid vocals, Bii dedicated ‘寫給你的歌‘ and ‘Love More‘ for his fans, making it a touching moment for all to remember that evening.

Bii concluded the music showcase with a special performance as he unveiled one of his new songs, ‘You’re Gone‘, from his upcoming 5th album. The ballad was a piece that he’d worked together with local singer Tanya Chua to produce it and moving forward, we can all look forward to a full album that Bii hopes to drop before August this year!

[COVER] Experiencing Greenplugged Seoul Festival LIVE With DEAN And On The Record Artists

Moving forward three weeks from Greenplugged Seoul Festival, we finally have the time to sit down for a proper blog entry. Some of you caught on the teasers that were all over our social media and wondered what these are all about.

If you didn’t already knew, our team was in Seoul during the weekend of Greenplugged Festival (May 20-21) for a media coverage and had the opportunity to meet and catch up with Universal Music Korea’s artist, DEAN, as well as On The Record’s new artists.

Greenplugged Festival has been held every May at Seoul Nanji Hangang Park since 2010 and is a 2-day mega music festival that connects music lovers and artists together. There were a total of 7 stages built within the park premises and the line-up consisted of top musicians of various genres such as hip-hop, R&B, electronic, rock, and pop music.

For On The Record artists, Greenplugged Festival was a great opportunity to expose and introduce their new and fresh-faced artists to the public. On The Record is a new sub-label under Universal Music Korea and has recently signed several new artists including YOONCELL, 1415, TAEK and YEIN.

Set at the PICNIC stage, a small-scaled yet intimate setting, this was where YOONCELL and 1415 performed at the festival.

Described as an artist who sings her heart out to sentimental music, YOONCELL has an amazing background next to being a musician and we bet none of you could guess it right. Her full-time occupation is a doctor at a hospital (wow!), but she was able to continue her passion and love for pop music in the music industry after having signed under On The Record label. Regardless of background, we are in awe of her dedication as a musician!

1415 is an up and coming male duo consisting of lead vocalist JOO and song-writer/guitarist OH. The duo made a name for themselves during their busking days at Hongdae – and now officially signed under a label, they have been producing tracks of their own and gaining more fans by the day.

1415 released their 1st EP [DEAR : X] in April this year, with Draw The Line as their title track. Their style of music was pleasant to the ear, and while coupled with the duo’s good looks, we see why there were many female fans cheering them on at the festival.

YEIN and TAEK on the other hand, performed at the WIND stage set against the Hangang river as the backdrop.

Taking on a unique Future Classica genre, YEIN has a dreamy yet mysterious tone of voice when she sings. Though she has yet to make her official debut, her charming voice has captured the hearts of many music lovers and musicians, and is set to drop her 1st EP [5] on June 16th. Fans were also teased with one of the tracks, Rose of Sharon, during her performances at Greenplugged Festival. (Check out YEIN’s music on Soundcloud HERE!)

TAEK on the other hand, approaches his music towards the genres of Future R&B and Electronica. He’s a really shy but cool guy in person, which kind of matches well with his concept.

TAEK released his 1st EP just two days before his performances at Greenplugged Festival, so we were lucky to be one of the first audiences to hear him sing his new track, We’re Always Together (우린 함께 늘).

Stealing one of the limelights at the festival, DEAN performed a total of 10 tracks at a larger-scaled stage, putting much detail in every performance. The South Korean R&B artist recently released his third U.S. EP love which was a collaboration track with Syd and a definite hit on the music charts.

The stage was lit as DEAN performed his newest track along with all-time favourite hits such as Pour Up, What 2 Do, 21, D (Half Moon) and more.

Greenplugged Seoul Festival was a total eye-opener and we’re glad that we were there to experience it live! Finally, don’t forget to watch this space as our exclusive interview clips with DEAN and On The Record artists will be released soon – with special shout-outs for Singapore fans too!


Special thanks to Universal Music Singapore for having us in Seoul for On The Record Artistes Promo!

[COVER] PENTAGON And UNIVERSE Unite At First Showcase In Singapore

Cube Entertainment’s rising boy band, PENTAGON, was in town last weekend for their first showcase in Singapore. It was a night full of surprises, with the members displaying their versatility in stage games and showcasing special stages they’ve prepared for their Asia Tour.

Visiting Singapore for the first time as a group, members were all thrilled to share their impressions of the city. Yuto mentioned that he felt awesome just being in Singapore, E’Dawn was quick to express his love for chilli crabs, while the rest of the members pointed out that Hong Seok appeared to be most excited for this trip.

It was further revealed that Hong Seok used to live in Singapore for four years and was a student at Hwa Chong International School since 2007 to 2010. And to the surprise of many fans, Hong Seok named Bukit Timah Plaza as one of his favourite hangout places in Singapore!

Fans were treated to a string of hits by PENTAGON that evening, including ‘Gorilla‘, ‘Smile‘, ‘Organic Song‘ and more. The members also performed a cover rendition of One Direction’s ‘What Makes You Beautiful‘, joined by their sea of fans who sang and waved along to the song.

During the showcase, Singapore UNIVERSE presented a birthday banner project for E’Dawn whose birthday happened to be two days before the Singapore show. The idol star revealed that it was his first time celebrating his birthday since high school and it was even more meaningful as he was able to share the joy of this occasion with PENTAGON members and UNIVERSE.

The encore stages were belted out to a new high with performances of ‘You Are‘ and ‘Pretty Pretty‘, drawing a satisfying close to PENTAGON’s first showcase in Singapore.

[Food Review] A Taste Of Wonder (Woman) At DC Super Heroes Cafe

(Photo: DC Super Heroes Cafe)

DC Super Heroes Cafe has come up with a new dedicated menu to welcome the highly raved Wonder Woman film released on 31 May. Said to be the first-in-the-world’s menu curated just for Wonder Woman, the limited-time only menu consists of a power-packed mac and cheese dish and also irresistible mini burgers.

What better way to get yourself stoked for the movie than to feast on these heroic dishes?

Get into action with the Paradise Island Mac & Cheese, specially baked in a delectable 5-cheese and mentaiko sauce, making every bite a cheesy treat with a twist.

The mac & cheese resting in a luscious blanket of crisp cheese combined with the delicious mentaiko sauce gave the dish the most attention-grabbing highlight of the menu.

Fun fact #1: The team at DC Super Heroes Cafe was inspired by Themyscira – the homeland of Wonder Woman – that was surrounded by sea, and hence came up with the idea to revamp a traditional favourite Mac & Cheese dish using Conchiglie Rigate, identified by its shell shape that is also inspired by the sea.

Next up on the menu, the Truth & Beauty Mini Burgers were carefully designed to let the organic nature of Wonder Woman’s origins shine through.

The Truth burger (Pink) is made of ribeye steak topped with shiitake mushrooms dripping with fragrant gravy while the Beauty burger (Yellow) has a juicy chicken patty that bursts into a celebration of cheese as you bite into it and even a crispy onion ring underneath. It also has peanut butter smeared across the top of it, which adds a pleasant contrasting flavour to the burger.

Fun Fact #2: The chefs at DC Super Heroes Cafe explained why they decided to use beetroot powder and tumeric powder to achieve the desired pink and yellow hue for the mini buns without any artificial colouring – both ingredients are known for their superior nutrition and healing properties, which well-reflects the powerful nature of Wonder Woman.

For those craving for a refreshing starter, treat yourself to Themyscira: My Salad Origin, a fresh mix of a plethora of vegetables topped with creamy sesame dressing that leaves you wanting more after every crunchy mouthful.

Talk about creativity, what makes the dish so special is the star-shaped beetroot slices that’s inspired by Wonder Woman’s headband. Just like every superhero battle, it sure is messy but everybody loves them anyway!

For a sweet treat, the Shields of Protection Pancake would be perfect for your Instagram feed. Coupled with fresh chilled fruits, the dessert was delightfully fluffy and flavourful. The taste is also enhanced by a scoop of strawberry ice cream that makes every bite full of fruity flavour.

Aside from the tantalising mains and dessert, fans of the female warrior can also choose between the Wonder Woman & Batman Latte, an aromatic latte infused with the light tones of strawberry, or the Wonder Woman’s Box Office Power Drink, an all-time favourite Salted Caramel Popcorn ice-blended.

The beverages exude the essence of Wonder Woman as the solid flavours represent her strength while at the same time, complement with a touch of feminine sweetness.

For DC fans, this is a place to have a heroic taste of goodness where you can truly experience a unique Wonder Woman themed dining experience! The special menu is available at DC Super Heroes Cafe for a limited time.
