[NEWS] Nich Khun’s serenade to Victoria with ‘Nothing Better’ on We Got Married

3 07 2010

On MBC We Got Married on 3rd July, make-believe couple Nich Khun and Victoria went to a restaurant where they ate samkyeopsal and also to a karaoke together.

And Victoria requested for Nich Khun to sing the song ‘Nothing Better’ by Brown Eyed Soul which he sang on SBS Star King. And Nich Khun sang the song even though he said that he couldn’t sing.

Victoria said in her interview on the show, “I saw him perform that once on a variety show, but I want to listen to him sing to me,” explaining why she had asked him to sing the song.
On the show that day, the 2 sent out text messages to their team mates to announce their ‘marriage’ and the reply Victoria got from f(x) Sulli was, “We had a father now.”

When Nich Khun asked why Sulli would call him an oppa, Victoria said, “Because I’m the eldest unnie, they call me by mother.”

Nich Khun had seemed shocked to know that suddenly he has gotten himself 4 daughters.

[NEWS] Nichkhun-Victoria on “WGM”,Netizens say, “We opposed to this marriage!”

9 06 2010

2PM Nichkhun and f(x) Victoria have become a new couple on the MBC real variety show ‘We Got Married.”

Although they have not yet been on an episode, they have finished their first filming. Fans have not had only-complimentary things to say about their pairing.

In the past, there were also many people who opposed SNSD Seohyun and CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa’s pairing on ‘WGM.’ When SG Wannabe’s Kim Yongjun was paired with Hwang Jung Eum; 2AM’s Jo Kwon with BEG’s Ga In; and Lee Sunho with Hwang Woo Seul Hye, though there may have been people who didn’t care, there were few who opposed these pairings. It was only with Seohyun and Jung Yong Hwa’s pairing that voices of opposition were heard.

It is obvious that when current ‘hot’ idols enjoy the married life, it becomes a hot topic. The premise is called ‘real;’ it is the ‘marriage’ that stimulates the fantasy.

Nowadays, idols cannot even appear on entertainment shows properly. First-generation idols from the past (HOT, Sechs Kies, SES, FinKL) used the strategy of mystery. When they were asked about who they were dating, they would reply, “My fans are my boy/girlfriends,” and even if they were dating, they would wave their hands and say, “Absolutely not,” and lie.

Idols these days have changed greatly from the past. If idols from the past wavered on the boundary between humans and gods, nowadays fans feel a bit closer to their idols, as if he’s the good looking oppa from school.

Even so, it is dangerous to talk about idols dating. This is because fans don’t want the celebrities they like to be close to any one person. What’s worse, companies lay down a rule of ‘No dating’ for their celebrities.

2PM Nichkhun’s fans call him ‘Angel Nichkhun.’ His white skin, cute face, and bright smile have received a lot of love from fans. As one might notice, the nickname ‘Angel Nichkhun’ has a more significant meaning for Nichkhun’s fans than simply ‘a good looking celebrity.’

It is therefore obvious that fans would not like the news that Nichkhun is getting married (even if it may be a fake marriage). On top of that, on June 7th Nichkhun left a comment on U-Kiss’ Alexander’s Twitter picture from SBS entertainment program ‘Star King’ saying, “My wife!” showing his affection for Victoria.

That he was able to pick out Victoria in the picture even though only her back was showing made fans especially sad, and they made their disappointment heard.

Nichkhun and Victoria’s married life hasn’t even officially begun. But fans are already shouting, “We are opposed to this marriage!” “Nichkhun, I’m begging you,” showing their strong disapproval.

It will be interesting to see how fan’s reactions may change once their married life hits airwaves.
