MOVES OF THE DAY: Super Junior's Wine Dance to the beat of "Lo Siento"

By Nefertiti Jenkins
It was the Chilean wine that got them dancing out in an open field. On May 3, kpop group Super Junior uploaded a fun video to social media, of the guys moving to their new hit song "Lo Siento," with each member in the frame, dancing with a glass of wine in hand. The hashtag under the post says Chile. The idols were in Santiago, Chile on April 24, as part of the Latin America leg of their Super Show 7 world tour.

The first interview was for the March 7th face to face with rapper Snacky Chan for Chan's YouTube series - "Undergod."   The second was for American rapper Dumbfoundead's March 20th (ep. 31) podcast of "Fun With Dumb." During the podcast, Dok2 provided a mini-history lesson for anyone interested in South Korean hip-hop. Beginning with his early rise, the rapper says he's been making moves in the industry since 2002 when he was 12-years-old. He told Dumbfoundead that he used to attend a school for foreigners in Busan (because of his mixed Korean, Spanish and Filipino heritage), but after 6th grade he moved to Seoul and did not return back to school (due to family financial reasons).
