In America, the Storm Shadow character remains a masked figure on G.I. Joe posters. Korea on the other hand, wants its known that a fellow countryman has made it to the big time. That fellow countryman has a face, and there is a name to this face and that name is Lee Byung Hun. A handsome face, indeed. More »

Joe Jonas, just fresh off the heels of a public break-up with actress Camilla Belle was seen Sunday night leaving Katsuya in LA with Disney starlette, Brenda Song. For non-LA natives, Katsuya is basically a trendy restaurant that’s serves as prime paparazzi territory. Aka, the word ‘discreet’ does not come to mind when describing Katsuya. More »

From Ziggytek: Two worlds are colliding and the result is something catastrophic, and cute?! Star Wars and Hello kitty are coming together to form the Hello Kitty Storm Trooper. More »

In Korea multi-talents are a must, usually one has to entertain constantly to be on top. Like her peers from her last Kdrama, T-Max and Ss501 Goo Hye Sun can also sing. Actually, a big surprise was that Goo Hye Sun was a trainee with 2ne1 before but went into acting instead. More »

Seems like yesterday that news of an Akon and BoA collaboration broke. To be honest, that was yesterday because today a preview of that collaboration exists. The song is the remix of Akon’s Beautiful, but with BoA on the track. The song is what it is: Akon’s original Beautiful song but with BoA on it. Was that really necessary? More »

I feel like everyday I’m writing some sort of announcement about prize winners. That’s a good thing for loyal Ningin followers! Yesterday, I wrote a post about changes to our monthly and weekly giveaways. To recap, we’re doing away with monthly prizes and increasing the value of weekly prizes. This way, the contests will be more frequent. Also, one random person during the week will receive a prize in addition to the top three scorers. More »

Do I even need to write an intro for this movie? It’s G. I. Frickin’ Joe! It’s probably the most highly anticipated movie of the summer, and has without much debate, the coolest ninja vs. ninja rivalry in the history of time - Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow. We’re fortunate that one of the writers for G.I. Joe, Larry Hama, was Asian to have an Asian character in the G.I. Joe universe for this pin game. Storm Shadow is played by Hollywood newcomer but Korean actor veteran, Byung-hun Lee (A Bitter Sweet Life, The Good, the Bad, the Weird). More »

Can you believe it’s August already? July was a pretty intense month of awards and giveaways for Ningin. Between the Summer Rewards which gave out 37 albums to 35 people, the weekly poster prizes, and this frickin awesome SNSD autographed poster set, I would say it was a pretty good month. It was a lot of work just keeping track of all the prizes and winners! One final fun stat, we gave out 10 SNSD and 10 2NE1 albums. No clear winner there. More »

The final moment of truth. All that has been blogged about this summer is the swapping of positions of the no.1 spot for the girlbands, with the boybands no where to be seen. More »

From Ziggytek: Looks like there might be a price cut for the Sony Playstation 3. Joystiq is reporting that during an overseas call with investors, Sony’s CFO and Executive VP stated that the cost of the Playstation has gone down 70 percent. That’s great news for everyone, if Sony does make a price cut. If not, then this is all BS. More »

This is Tiffany’s “Random” Birthday thread!

Don’t we all heart Tiffany? She’s the random hyper one who seems to have the most clutzy moments on stage while the mystery remains why she has the shortest shorts and skirts…speaking of which she was just voted as having the most attractive thighs, and we can most certainly see why. More »

From Ziggytek: Ladies and Gentleman, introducing the Black Nintendo Wiiiii!!! Yeah, it’s here in the states but not being sold by Nintendo. If you want one, you need to get it from either eBay or another import online source. It’ll come at a premium, around $333, but we’ve all paid around that much for the first Wii, (well, some of us did to get it first), so this is nothing new for a Stealth Ninja like Wii. More »

Charlyne Yi, the woman who beat me to Michael Cera’s (Super Bad, Arrested Development) heart is certainly after mine with a freshly leaked Dirty Dancing scene spoof with Channing Tatum (Step Up, G.I. Joe). Nothing says LOL like two actors not professionally trained in dancing…dancing. With ugly wigs. More »
