Stars rise from the east
FINALLY, the wait is over. Much to the excitement of fans,
South Korean boy band Dong Bang Shin Ki released their new
album, Mirotic, on September 29. Once again, the five boys have
displayed their appeal (吸引力) with powerful beats (节拍) and
memorable tunes (曲调).
The title of the leading song, Mirotic, comes from the Korean
word "miro" which means "maze" (迷宫) and the English suffix (后缀) "tic". "It is meant to describe the kind of feeling one has when
he falls in love with someone at first sight," said member U-Know
(郑允浩). "It's like being trapped in a maze."
It is reported that the album has sold 90,000 copies two days
after its release. It has risen to No 1 on the weekly chart in South
Korea.
While you enjoy the catchy song, don't miss the band's
trademark dancing moves. This time Dong Bang Shin Ki worked
with famous dance choreographer (舞蹈编排) Kenny Wormald,
who once cooperated with American pop stars including Justin
Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.
The band began working on the new record in early 2007
and didn't finish until June this year. "We have plunged (投入)
ourselves into the producing work. We see the album as an
opportunity to show our fans that we have made progress on a daily basis," said member Xiah (金俊秀). "We won't let them
down."
It is this aspiring (有抱负的) attitude that keeps the band
going in the highly competitive entertainment world. u The band
never sets boundaries (边界) to their music styles. Since their 2003
debut (首次登台), they have tried pop, R&B and ballads (民歌).
After winning the hearts of thousands of teenagers across Asia,
they haven't slow down. This year, Dong Bang Shin Ki has starred
in two TV dramas, Dating on Earth and Heaven's Postal Delivery
Man. The boys are sure to ride the wave of South Korean pop
culture.

Changing habits
SONG Yinan, 16, used to hate drinking milk for breakfast. But
the Taiyuan girl began drinking it because her mom, as well as
many others, said that milk was good for her growing body.
Besides, milk and bread made up a convenient (方便的) diet that
helped save her parents a lot of time after Song entered junior
high and had to arrive at school early in the morning. Hence (从此), Mengniu and Yili became her favorite brands (牌子) of
morning milk and yoghurt after dinner.
However, she has been forced to change her diet since the
recent milk crisis (危机). Many best-selling home milk brands such
as Mengniu, Yili and Bright were discovered to contain melamine
(三聚氰胺), which is usually used to make plastic (塑料). The bad
milk products have sickened more than 53,000 babies and killed
four.
“I shifted (转向) to rice porridge,” she said. “My mom has
to get up at 5:50 am to prepare my breakfast and make sure that
it cools down when I get up.” Song has become addicted (上瘾的) to milk, so she
doesn’t quite enjoy her morning meal these days
although she knows that it’s a tiring job for her working
mom.
“I’ll turn back to Mengniu and Yili when they finally
improve their products,” she said.
However, right now Song’s mom tries to adjust (调整)
her eating habits by cooking different foods. Besides rice
porridge, noodles, egg drop soup and soybean milk are prepared
to diversify (使多样化) her breakfast.
“I’m considering buying a soybean grinder (豆浆机),
but the prices of soybean grinders are scaling up (攀升) these
days,” complained her mother.
Beijing student Huang Shuang’s family has a grinder,
and soybean milk has become a regular (通常的) recipe in the
family during the weekends. From Monday to Friday, the 16-year-old has given up drinking Mengniu for Sanyuan, the only big
brand that passed the quality test two weeks ago. The milk crisis
has also warned her to develop a cautious (谨慎的) habit when
shopping for food.
“I have started to pay attention to when and where my
purchases (所购商品) were made,” Huang said.

Future has arrived
HAS English football finally found a new star? A few days ago,
19-year-old Theo Walcott came onto the scene by scoring a hat-trick (帽子戏法) for England in a 4-1 victory over Croatia.
Walcott’s lightning (闪电) speed and accurate (准确的)
shooting have turned the teenager into an overnight (一夜成名的)
star. Many think he is a new dawn for the England team.
