JTBC Superband 슈퍼밴드 Review
Forget your biases or reviews on any existing talent show/competition/idol survival through China/America/Korea TV shows.

Day 9 – Shopping Craze and B-Boys! This was one of the simplest day – just shop, eat, and repeat! I had a little craving that day and was thinking a lot about this Nakseo Pajeon that had raving reviews on many blogs out there. It was a little out of the way, outside of…
