Hi my twitter :http://twitter.com/#!/likacd26

I really want SHINee’s ‘The FIRST’ album because I don’t know any Korean so i always have to look up the lyrics and the translation for all of the songs, but i know Japanese so i am able to understand the lyrics by myself (which makes me feel extremely accomplished). Another reason i want the album is because SHINee was the reason I learned about Kpop. i first heard their song ‘Stand By Me’ in the drama ‘Boys Over Flowers’.
Thank you holding this contest, and Congratulations to whoever wins (hopefully me:D).

Hmmm…
I think I’d most like to win the rabbit hoodie.
Actually, let me rephrase that.
I would most like to win the rabbit hoodie for my mom. My mom is a HUGE fan of K-dramas and Heartstrings/You’ve Fallen For Me is one of her favorites. I’m pretty sure she’s seen it a million times since she’s able to quote and act out every episode. lol! XD
Winning the rabbit hoodie would probably just make her day since right now she’s in between jobs and most of our money has to go to paying for necessities, so we didn’t really have a “traditional” Christmas like others.
Also, the rabbit hoodie will be, for me, the first step towards repaying my mom for all that she’s done for me. She’s moved to a completely different country where she didn’t know the language at all. She works 9 hour shifts 7 days a week. Any extra money she makes never goes to her, but to my little brother and I. And she does all of that with a smile on her face.
Since I’m only in high school, I can’t pay her back completely yet. I plan on doing that one day, but for now, I can only do little things. And I think the rabbit hoodie would be one of the best ways. :]

Thank you for reading my comment even though you’ve probably already read through pages and pages of other comments that are more likely to win then mine. XP
Oh well. At least I tried. :]

Yup, followed ToFebruary and Seoulbeats on both twitter & facebook =)

The prize I’d want the most is the You’re Beautiful hair barrette. Waeee?! I admit, even though I HAVE watched You’re Beautiful, it wasn’t my favourite drama. I’m not like those people who’d say “AHHH YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL WAS AN AMAZING DRAMA~” I didn’t think it was bad, nor did I think it was amazing. I thought it was decent. I sorta watched it for Yonghwa and Hongki.. hehe…heheheh. anywho. wait I think I’m getting a bit off-topic. buut,
I want this hair barrette cause I’m a huge sucker for bows. omfg.. bows.. can’t live without them. I have a variety of bows that I keep in a little drawer and I really enjoy wearing them. It’s like, my signature look. People at my school know me as the girl who always wears bows. o.o” My parents would always spaz at me everytime I bought expensive bows whenever I went to this cute asian store.. I can’t help it lol. na ‘bows’ saranghae! hehehe.Back to You’re Beautiful. The bow barrette in there is so dang sparkly and shiny and pretty and to be honest, I’ve always wanted to order it from ToFebruary. but my parents.. they wouldn’t let me -.- they don’t exactly trust online stores… grr. anyways. Thank you SO much for holding this giveaway, ToFebruary and Seoulbeats. kamsahabnida kamsahabnida kamsahabnida~ *does the korean 90 degree BOW* OHHH SEE WHAT I DID THERE :DD

Hello! Thanks for this giveaway. It encourages more people to love kpop and kdramas more – which I appreciate very much.

The prize that I want the most is the Wonder Girls’ Wonder World album. The Wonder Girls are one of the first kpop artists that introduced me to kpop. As an international fan, it isn’t as readily available to buy for me as it would be elsewhere. As a kpop group attempting to branch out to the States by learning English, they’re an inspiration to me to do the same and try to learn Korean. After a long awaited comeback, by receiving one of their albums as a gift, not only will I be jubilant that I have an actual CD of theirs in my hands, but that it’d also be able to help my ongoing process to learn Korean.

Once again, thanks for this giveaway! Congratulations to the future winners :)

Alrighty. :) I liked and I followed as you wanted. And even though I barely use it, here’s my twitter:
https://twitter.com/#!/tngo92 Now. Let’s get down to business.

PLEASEEEE LET ME WIN SHINEE’S “THE FIRST” ALBUM. I. LOVE. THEM. SO. MUCH.

Was that too over-the-top? Okay. Well, to be honest, SHINee isn’t just some idol group that I like. They are the first THING I actually liked on my own. Before I knew of them, I was a typically quiet and studious girl. Of course since I pretty much lived under a rock back then, it was only by accident that I came across them and their debut mv, “Replay.” I was pretty amazed at how much I liked them. I started following them and grew to love all of their personalities through the shows they appeared on. Because of my growing passion for them, I began to express myself more. It’s honestly a great feeling. And it would mean a lot if I could have an official album of theirs. Please? >.<

And for something creative…hmm..does this count?

psstt..It says SHINee in korean with <3. Made it by hand yo, not copy and paste. ;)

If I don't win, could I please ask for ToFebruary to stock up on some more Taemin bracelets? Anyway, thank you for the opportunity~ I hope you all have an amazingly SHINEE day! Hehe. Get it? Okay..bye now~

The prize that l would like is “Heartstrings’/’You’ve Fallen For Me’ rabbit hoodie”

Reason :
- I love the story line of this drama.
-Yonghwa and Park Shin-Hye is in it
- Shin-Hye looks really cute in it
- I love Shin-Hye voice expectually the song she sung during her audition for the play, knowing that she’s singing from her heart.
- One thing l like about this drama is how they mix traditional and rock and also the generation gap.

Thank you =D

I like both pages on Facebook! And I just followed Seoulbeats and To February on Twitter!

Here’s my Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/surfingthecrowd

I so badly want the City Hunter cat sweater. (More like NEED. Haha.)

I am madly in love with that show! (Probably my favorite. Ever.)

I absolutely adore Lee Min Ho & Park Min Young! I always list them as my favorite actors.

I am a City Hunter super fan. I stay up sometimes until 4:00am in the morning re-watching the series.^_^

And the sweater is soooo cute!! And who doesn’t love cats!?!? They’re soo furry and cute! Hehe.

Being from America, we don’t have access to very many cool kpop/kdrama items. So this would be so awesome to win!! ^_^

[But! I did recently get the opportunity to buy a necklace from ToFebruary.com [I Lovvvve ToFebruary.com] (the necklace Joon Pyo gave to Jandi in Boys Over Flowers. I wear it everyday. Seriously.)

So I’m just now building my collection.

Anyways, this would be a great conversation starter and when people ask me about it, I can brag that Seoulbeats and To February gave it to me! ^_^

So, to convince you even further, I made a poem for you.

Roses are red, violets are blue

I love City Hunter and Lee Min Ho too!

I would really love this sweater, to wear everyday

So please pick me as your winner, and make my day!

If that wasn’t convincing enough….

Here’s my New Year’s Resolutions [in picture form]: (Which includes this lovely sweater. ^_~)

I would love love love to win it, but either way, I think you guys are awesome!!!! <3 <3

Thank you!!

Love, Arielle ~

I am most interested in the SHINee album but I would also be super happy with the Wonder Girls or The Boys album (Just SHINee is amazing).

I am not creative or witty enough to leave a wonderful comment on why I deserve the albums but I absolutely would adore anything with SHINee’s face on it and my Birthday is December 31st so it would be a lovely Birthday present haha.

Hello, my name is Nicole. This is my Twitter account: https://twitter.com/#!/2nikkie1

If I win this giveaway, I would like the City Hunter cat sweater. I absolutely love Kim Na Na’s fashion sense and style. Of course, I also adore the show, especially that it has Lee Min Ho playing the lead role. Both Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young are two of my favorite korean actors and actresses now, I consider them as my idols.

I may not be Korean, but I truly appreciate different cultures.

I just started following both pages, for the main reason, that I like what both pages feature.

Thanks for the opportunity to enter this giveaway and more success to the Seoulbeats and ToFebruary.
May your both have prosperous new year for 2012!

I thought the drama was cute and funny and I really enjoyed it~ Plus I LOVE Asian fashion and am a huge fan of ToFebruary! That hair barrette is gorgeous and I would adore owning it!

Thank you for putting on this contest Seoulbeat and ToFebruary! Such a sweet gestured! <3

Hey! Here’s my twitter:
https://twitter.com/#!/1_800annika + I liked you guys on Facebook!

I mostly want the City Hunter cat sweater!~

City Hunter was definitively my drama of the summer. In fact, it was the last drama I was desperately obsessed with my friend, and after that, other dramas from seemed to be a blur. I noticed Park Min Young every now and then ever since Big Bang’s Haru Haru music video, and I always loved Lee Min Ho since Boys Over Flowers (and he was awesome in Personal Taste as well!), and when I thought Geum Jan Di and Gu Jun Pyo were the cutest couple ever, it came to my attention that Lee Yoon Seung and Kim Nana were even cuter.

Then to hear on the news that Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young are a real couple. That totes def made the rest of my year. And when they were nominated for “Best Couple” for acting as lovers, I think it’s the sweetest thing that it was a real love between them on screen. Go MinMin couple!!

I think PMY’s character as Nana is a positive influence on most girls. She held up on her own when she was younger, remaining to be strong when it seemed she was all alone and remains to stand for what she believes in. Even at the times she gave Yoon Seung the cold shoulder, I was mesmerized by the lines she said, and it always leaves an impression on me, and she didn’t carry on crying about after the countless times Yoon Seung keeps telling her they can’t be together or when she’s fired from her job. She’s one of the bravest heroine’s I’ve ever watched in a kdrama (in which I intend to hate on a lot), and I hope to gain her confidence soon.

You’re lying if you say you don’t love this couple…

And so. I mostly want the sweater, because it looks really cute, and I want to look as cute as Park Min Young/Kim Nana does in it, and have the feel of being like her as she was in City Hunter.

Thanks to writing this, I’m nonstop listening to the City Hunter OST!

And thank you! :)

and, to be honest….
any of these would be fabulous.

i could be picky and say that i NEEDED that SHINee album because I’m some obsessed fangirl who’s gonna do voodoo with it to make them do a private concert just for me, but what fun would that be?

basically, i could go on and on about my fangirl needs, and how the giveaway things fulfill my greatest joy in life: stalking my biases.

but, I’m not gonna go there. instead, i politely ask you for any of the giveaway things. they are all so fabulous, any of them would make me the happiest fangirl alive.

just give me whatever is left. seriously.

Hi! What would make the 2011 ends amazingly? For me it is of course if I got The Boys album by SNSD.

I just spend sleepless nights making a video just to show u guys how much I love SNSD and what they meant to me. Have a look, please.

Sorry if it wasn’t good since it was my first attempt to do such a video. SNSD songs are so full of words that can touch one’s heart, in this case mine. I always find it interesting to look up for the songs’ lyrics if they were SNSD’s. Because I know their songs are meaningful. Plus, it gave me chances to learn Korean, reading Hangul (well at least I know the letters) and say the right sentences.

So far, I think The Boys album has the best concept as it featured fairy tales with some twist. Something I haven’t stumbled upon. Their individuality was shown on the album cover as each one of them portrayed characters from fairy tales. I love fairy tales! The album’s concept might sound all girly-girly but not the title song, The Boys was so full of energy and everyone in SNSD did a great job by improving a lot.

It kinda break my heart as I know I wouldn’t get this kinda gift from anyone I know. TWon’t u guys be a sweetheart and give me The Boys CD as my first Korean album? Just say yes, eh, eh, eh, eh, please~~!

I ADORE that ‘Heartstrings’/’You’ve Fallen For Me’ rabbit hoodie just because Heartstrings brought me into the world of Korean Drama and from this drama, I’m absolutely hooked. I can’t stop watching KDs gaaah :b It just pulls on my little heartstrings and gives me hope for corny love~ This hoodie would perfectly set in the new year mood for me too! Who knew that watching my first Korean Drama would makes me this anxious for more :)

SHINee is the group that interduced me to Kpop world! and i’m an absolute obssesed with KEY from SHINee! i just admire him!! Now he’s my korean love :]
Meeting Them would be like one of my dreams! and having their album is a great and amazing way to start my new year! u would have no slight idea of how much would that mean to me!! since i live in Canada, and they don’t sell any Kpop albums or anything about it D; it’d be super duper awesome to win their album! i would also do a performance of dance with the songs on that album! so i’d be greatful and Undescribabley happy!

Hi!
My twitter is https://twitter.com/#!/RiCho08

I want Wonder World Album! :D
The truth is that I was waiting to get a little inspired so that way I could write something nice about why do I want this… but… deadline’s really close and the inspiration just didn’t show up xD

Anyway, overall I want it because Wonder Girls is my favorite Kpop girl group. That’s because WG was one of the two first groups that I actually liked, along with Big Bang, when I got introduced to Kpop in the early 2008. Thanks to this, is that I could’ve been able to get to know better Korean music and, specially, the Korean culture. This fact is something that I’m pretty grateful for ‘cos allowed me to learn about a different way of life different to the one that I’m used to, and this helped a lot to improve my perception of things.

So, essentially, that’s why I’m really into WG, but also because I’ve seen how much they have improved as the years go by, and this album is the perfect example of their recent growth.

Well, I think I ran out of words, so I’ll just say, have a happy new year guys! :)
And sorry for my writing, but I’m not a native English speaker xD

Wonder Girls’ “Wonder World” Album.

My Best Friend who I’ve been friends with since kindergarten has been hospitalized for a year due to a huge battle with Cancer. She’s absolutely in love with K-pop especially Wonder Girls.
Well, there’s nothing more i can say but I want to give this album as a New Year’s gift. I made myself a twitter account just so i can get this for her. I really love her and all I can do to treat her Leukemia is with love. As her only best friend, will you help me out?

If i were chosen to be the winner of this contest, I would love to receive City Hunter Cat Sweater that was wore by Park Min Young.. City hunter movie is a the great korean drama of 2011 for me. The story line itself and the perfect casts that was chosen are really good. All of them portrayed each of their character well. I especially love the character of Prosecutor. Even if he is not the protagonist but still his character is the most hard and he did really good. AND HE IS HANDSOME. :) I want the sweater because its to cuteeeee! :) Or does it makes cute because it was wore by Park Min Young? Haha naaaaw~ I really do not care at all if it does not look cute on me. I just want it. I love it. And i really really really want it :D Kamsahamnida SeoulBeats :) Jalhanda~! :)

I would like any of the last 3 items. xD
Well, to narrow it down, it’d be either the Heartstrings Rabbit Hoodie and City Hunter Cat Sweater. To narrow it down even FURTHER, I’d want the Heartstrings Rabbit Hoodie.
It’s just so cute! <3
I loved the drama, too~
I like cute stuff, anything cute. xD
My friend even got one of those hats with scarf/pockets.
http://t.co/WWiv6Q9Y
But you can't really see the scarf/paws/pockets. But I love it, and I thank her for that! <3
Did I mention I really love that hoodie? xD

I'd be so crazily happy if I was chosen.
Even if I didn't, thank you Seoulbeats for giving me the chance! ^^
