Oh man, I almost forgot about that. Such a great performance by both Kangta and Go Ara!

I think it was Odango who told me that there was a rumor going around that Kangta was staying in room 2100 which was mine and Sev's room. This explains the fangirls that were waiting outside my door on Sunday morning.

^ Heard this from Ops and aloha: Supposedly Kangta was staying on the same floor as you and Sev, and he was complaining to a manager, probably due to the noise from our after party. It's not been confirmed though. They told me what they saw after leaving your room.

[Kimuuu]

ROFL I was wondering if anyone made any complaints about our party cuz that shiz was rowdy at some points.

So what was the name of the song that Kangta and Ara sang? It's SO familiar!  Is it the theme song or end theme to some K-drama?  I was going nuts at the concert trying to figure out where I heard that song before.

[Sev]

Kangta should've joined our party. There's no doubt it would've been the party of his life.

So it seems room 2107 where they partied as well wasn't Jessicas room but Kangta's. The amount of girls he had over... Wow. Just looking at the performance and I instantly knew that he can pull pussy better than a wolf shirt, that's for sure.

Wasn't it 7989?

[Kimuuu]

AH!  So it is!  Thanks, Hart!

I've had it all this time, but I'd usually skip it cuz I thought it was mostly boring. At least I didn't delete it.

Damn, Victoria!!

^ Victoria  Kangta really loves China apparently!

Korean singer Kangta has been selected to take part in the torch relay of the 16th Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games this year.



A press release by SM Entertainment revealed that Kangta, the only foreign celebrity to bear the torch at China-hosted Asiad, will run in the GuangZhou University area on November 11.

The organizing committee of the games and torch relay event, as quoted by SM, explained that they chose Kangta for his gentle and humble character, the influence he has overseas, and his contributions to society -- he held charity concert in Beijing this summer.

Kangta will also appear in stamp series titled “I am a torch runner” which will be released to commemorate the upcoming games.

“I am greatly pleased and honored to take part in torch relay for the great festivity in Asia,” Kangta said also in the statement by SM. “I thank all my fans for all the interest and affection they’ve shown and promise to do my best.”

Other well-known figures in China chosen as torchbearers the same day as Kangta are singer and actor Alan Tam, pianist Lang Lang and singer and actress Charlene Choi among others.

A total of 2,010 runners, aged from 6 to 100, will have carried the torch throughout China since October 9 before it reaches Guangzhou on its opening day of November 12.

He is now preparing a new album and fan meeting in China.
