The Ninth Wave of this Quiz is now officially closed.
The answers are:
1. Which member of which K-pop girl group started out as a celebrity in the Philippines due to being in a reality-based talent competition, before being scouted to become an idol? (2 pts) -Sandara Park, better known as 2NE1's Dara, was the runner-up in Philippine network ABS-CBN's first Star Circle Quest, and went on to appear in several movies and drama series alongside SCQ's winner Hero Angeles. Afterwards, she was scouted for 2NE1 and returned to Korea. Although it doesn't seem like her name is Korean, "Sandara" is actually a "pure Korean" name that means "grow up brightly and healthily.” "Pure Korean" in this case means that it was taken from the Korean language and doesn't have a counterpart in Hanja, or Chinese characters.
2. This 2011 Taiwanese drama starring Rainie Yang and Fahrenheit's Wu Chun had as its titular character a girl named Sunshine who worked as a maid for a wealthy cosmetics company heir in order to pay her debts. But it was also based on a Korean drama starring Jang Nara and Jang Hyuk. What is the ti
tle of this drama? (Both versions of the ti
tle are okay.) (Bonus point if you give the ti
tle of the original Korean version.)(2 pts) -The Taiwanese drama is called Sunny Girl, or alternatively, Sunshine Angel. Rainie's titular character is of course named Yang-guang, which means "sunshine." The Korean drama was called Successful Story of a Bright Girl.
Bonus question: In which K-drama did Kim Bum play an angel? Yes, both literally and figuratively an angel. (It's a long ti
tle, so be sure to get it right! :P )(1 pt.) -The drama is Padam Padam... The Sound of His and Her Heartbeats.

Tenth and Final Wave (13 pts)
1. The beginnings of Hallyu: Give me the titles of all the Endless Love dramas. :P (4 pts.)
2. Classic anime: Before Kurobasu, there was this basketball manga and its corresponding anime about a quarrelsome redhead who got into basketball in order to impress a girl and ended up helping their school team rise from obscurity to fame. What is the name of the manga and anime which helped to make basketball popular in Japan during its time? (Bonus point if you name the redhead and his chief rival as well.)(3 pts.)
3. Japanese dramas: This J-drama starring Masaki Okada and Kaho is based on a manga about gender role-reversals-- it features a "manly" guy who tries to hide his "feminine" side from the girl he likes, who doesn't know how to do "girly" things. What is the ti
tle of this drama? (Bonus point if you give me the meaning of the ti
tle.)(2 pts)

Oh, and the female lead character played by Joe Chen has a bedroom whose decor references the fairy-tale which is also referenced by the ti
tle of the drama. And the ti
tle of the drama is...? (1 pt.)
5. Japanese music: Name this pop rock/alternative rock Japanese band whose name translates to "the rainbow." (1 pt.)
6. K-pop: Name this Korean singer whose stage name is taken from the phrase "I and you." If you still need more clues apart from that one, she was also in the dramas Dream High, You're The Best Lee Soon Shin, and Pretty Man. (1 pt)
Bonus question: She might not exactly come to mind when you think of "Asian Pop", but this singer was the first Indonesian artist to get into the European and American music charts. She is perhaps best known for her hit song "Snow on the Sahara." Who is she? (1 pt.)
Deadline: Friday, March 21, 2014, 11:59:59 PM Res Time (just before Reset)
Now officially open for entries!

The Tenth and Final Wave of this Quiz is now officially closed.
The answers are:
1. The beginnings of Hallyu: Give me the titles of all the Endless Love dramas. :P (4 pts.) -Among the early frontliners of the Korean wave were the Endless Love dramas, a quartet with titles containing the names of the seasons. They are: a. Autumn in my Heart (2000), also known as Autumn Fairy Tale, starring Song Seung-heon, Song Hye-gyo, and Won Bin; b. Winter Sonata (2002), also known as Winter Love Story, starring Bae Yong-joon and Choi Ji-woo; c. Summer Scent (2003), starring Song Seung-heon, Son Ye-jin, Ryu Jin, and Han Ji-hye; and d. Spring Waltz (2006), starring Seo Do-young, Han Hyo-joo, Daniel Henney, and Lee So-yeon.
2. Classic anime: Before Kurobasu, there was this basketball manga and its corresponding anime about a quarrelsome redhead who got into basketball in order to impress a girl and ended up helping their school team rise from obscurity to fame. What is the name of the manga and anime which helped to make basketball popular in Japan during its time? (Bonus point if you name the redhead and his chief rival as well.)(3 pts.) -Slam Dunk, the anime based on the manga of the same name, was very popular in the 1990s and is credited with helping to popularize basketball in Japan. The main character is Sakuragi Hanamichi, who ends up having to compete with the team ace, Rukawa Kaede, not only for the heart of Akagi Haruko (their team captain's sister) but for the ace player position as well. (As far as I'm concerned, Hanamichi should have Haruko, because... tle="" target="">Rukawa! Rukawa! L-O-V-E Rukawa! All right, all right, I'll stop now. :P )
3. Japanese dramas: This J-drama starring Masaki Okada and Kaho is based on a manga about gender role-reversals-- it features a "manly" guy who tries to hide his "feminine" side from the girl he likes, who doesn't know how to do "girly" things. What is the ti
tle of this drama? (Bonus point if you give me the meaning of the ti
tle.)(2 pts) -The drama is Otomen, based on the manga of the same name. "Otomen" is a pun on the word "otome" meaning "young lady" and the English word "men," and is personified by the main character, a boy who has to be "manly" and tough in order to make his mom happy, even though he secretly likes stuffed toys, sweet cakes, shoujo manga, and activities that his mom considers too "girly", like cooking, sewing, and doing handicrafts. But he's not necessarily gay, because he likes a girl, too. (I love this drama because of all the interesting viewpoints on gender identity, and because it is hilarious as well.)
4. Taiwanese dramas: This crazy but very high-rated old Taiwanese drama featured Ming Dao as a ruthless rich businessman and Joe Chen as the ditzy schemer who falls in love with him. Of course all the usual shenanigans occur, from road accidents to corporate takeovers, to amnesia and personality changes, to broken engagements and almost-marriages. Oh, and the female lead character played by Joe Chen has a bedroom whose decor references the fairy-tale which is also referenced by the ti
tle of the drama. And the ti
tle of the drama is...? (1 pt.) -The Prince Who Turns Into A Frog (2005), starring Ming Dao and Joe Chen, is the third-highest rating Taiwanese drama ever. It references the fairy tale The Frog Prince. (I'm not so crazy about all the usual shenanigans, but the set design and the cinematography in this drama are gorgeous. I could fill an entire folder with wallpaper just from the screencaps. Also, the lead girl Tian-yu's Frog Prince inspired bedroom is cute!)
5. Japanese music: Name this pop rock/alternative rock Japanese band whose name translates to "the rainbow." (1 pt.) -L'Arc-en-Ciel, literally "the arc of heaven" or "the rainbow". (I love this band!)
6. K-pop: Name this Korean singer whose stage name is taken from the phrase "I and you." If you still need more clues apart from that one, she was also in the dramas Dream High, You're The Best Lee Soon Shin, and Pretty Man. (1 pt) -Lee Ji-eun, better known as IU.
Bonus question: She might not exactly come to mind when you think of "Asian Pop", but this singer was the first Indonesian artist to get into the European and American music charts. She is perhaps best known for her hit song "Snow on the Sahara." Who is she? (1 pt.) -Anggun Cipta Sasmi, better known simply as just Anggun. She started as a child singer in Indonesia, did her first album at age 12, got a hit single by age 15, then moved to France at age 20. Three years later, she did "Snow on the Sahara" which became an international hit. ("Snow on the Sahara" is a beautiful song; for those who haven't heard it yet I suggest you give it a listen.)

--------------------------- I'll post the final results and prizes for the Best of the Best Leaderboard in a while, after the prizes for the 10th Wave have been chosen and given out.

Death, you win a Dried Blood Necklace, a Stitched Neckline, a sepia Narwi, a sepia Jaaku, a The Bird That Got Away, a Turkey Leg Squishy, and an Ebilia Pumpkin!
Your Dried Blood Necklace has been sent to Death. Your Stitched Neckline has been sent to Death. You have sent your creatu Riawn to Death. You have sent your creatu Terroristic to Death. (That sounded... wrong, somehow xD.) Your The Bird That Got Away has been sent to Death. Your Turkey Leg Squishy has been sent to Death. Your Ebilia Pumpkin has been sent to Death. (So many... things, sent to Death xDD)
Perhaps I should give the quiz a rest for a while then. And perhaps return with it on a monthly basis sometime later this year? XD Making the questions and updating the thread does take time and effort, after all.
