Need a laugh? Trust Kim Sun-ah, star of SBS’s upcoming City Hall, to do it for you.
The previously released stills of the pageant scene showed Kim in a pretty pageant dress; here, she pokes fun by parodying Rain, who sported a similar goofy look while promoting his song “Fresh Woman.” (Video below.)
SONG OF THE DAY
Rain – “Fresh Woman.” I know I’m not the only person who thought for the longest time that Rain was singing about “fresh ramen, fresh ramen”! Mmm, ramen. [ Download ]

City Hall drama premieres on Wednesday, and this goofy Fresh Woman segment isn’t the only dance to look forward to — there’s also an upcoming tango between Kim and her co-star, Cha Seung-won.
The scenes occur after Kim’s character joins the pageant to win the prize money to pay off card debts. (They’re really milking the comic pageant silliness to hype the drama’s premiere, aren’t they? Well, as long as it works…)
If you wanna compare, here’s Rain‘s own goofball performance:

OMG!
Fresh Ramen is exactly what I was hearing when I heard the song. Sometimes it even sounded like, Fresh Robin. Then I would start singing the Rockin Robin song in my head.
ROFLMAO. You’re not the only one. I really thought it sounds like ramen. (or wamen, in some instances at the end part of the song)
This drama looks good though. I’m just not quite sure about the plot about politics.
I thought it was Fresh Robin.
Wah! You’re not alone. I always thought it said fresh ramen and started singing it at school. I let my friends hear it and they agree.
LMAO
My… these two look great together… I feel strong chemistry between them in the last three pictures. Cha Seung-won’s hot!!!
The green track suit looks good on her. :]
I can’t waitt!!!! I”m looking forward to Six Months (changed to some other title) and this one!!!
Fresh Ramen…buahaha….talk about a perfect song for product endorsement.
Reminds me of Gong Hyo Jin in Hello My Teacher (or was that a spoof of the MV, too? can’t remember)
ROFL
This almost made me laugh more than Giordano’s summer campaign “Cheer U Up.” XD
At first I was gonna watch it for Cha Seung-won, but now it’s for Kim Sun Ah too. This seems like it’s gonna be fun XD
ROFL.
It really sounds like ramen.
You should watch Rain do this on Family Outing, that was hilarious!
lmao the pictures remind me of a bit of last scandal
Why is Suna always so funny???
I mean, it’s just a picture… not even moving nor talking… yet I can’t stop laughing.
from what i’ve seen and read so far about this drama – this is so far the only drama i’m looking forward to actually watching!!! but going to keep my expectations low so i don’t get too disappointed! LOL
She’s so funny….hope this is a goody…
Rain sounds pretty kool too…. i never really listened to his music coa I can’t understand, but not to bad….
rain is way too hilarious x]
What she does best!
So where’s my fresh ramen?! ROFL
oh really? Fresh Woman? Even after pointing that out, I am still convinced that it is fresh ramen. lol
And while we are still at it, in the Youtube clip @ 3:12, was that “Everybody scram” or “Everybody scream”?
City Hall has 20 epis and this is only the premiere? While I am not worried about these 2 leading actors’ acting capabilities, I hope the PD/writer pace out this drama well and not let it fizzle out at the end.
One day to go and the waiting is over. I`m dying to see their Tango dance.
I agree, she`s funny even in pix. I wish this drama will be a hit!
Really looking forward to this drama, City Hall.
Can’t wait to see this seemingly lovely couple
of Suna and CSW doing the romantic tango.
BAHAHAHA! mmmmmmm ramen…..that’s what i heard too! Everytime i hear this song, it actually makes me hungry…
Just one picture and smiles crack everyone’s lips. Way to go, Suna!
^_^
Wow, the pics of the leads dancing are really, really nice!
omo, rain stole my dance moves!!
:D
I am a little worried.
City Hall has some stiff competition, and I am not sure that every good drama can succeed at the same time. SBS is putting City Hall on tonight, right?
Isn’t MBC’s Cinderella Man also on at the same time?
And then KBS’s 6 Months (I Was Just Looking, or something like that) is also on tonight? Is 6 Months’ premiere also tonight? Why would they do that?
Why can’t the networks just cooperate, and then maybe more dramas can succeed (ratings-wise). What if I want to watch more than one? Are they even going to match time-slots too?
-Samsooki
His pronunciation really needs work. And you are right it does sound like “Fresh Ramen”.
Does 6 Months really start tonight?
Ahh…. I don’t have KBS on satellite so I will have to wait till I can watch the subbed videos online.
huahah.
I told my friends that I thought he was saying “fresh ramen” but they thought that I was crazy T____T
glad to know that I’m not.
Jeez, how many names does this drama have? 6 Months, Accidental Couple, As I Was Looking….it has a 10 p.m. KBS slot. I think it starts tonight (Wednesday Thursday?).
I think City Hall has the 10 p.m. SBS slot.
And Cinderella Man has the 10 p.m. MBC time slot….
Seriously, putting City Hall against Accidental Couple is like telling k-drama fans, “You must choose between your children. choose one.” It’s not fair.
Luckily, this is mostly an academic inquiry on my part, because the three K-TV channels we do get are like weird ones that don’t correspond to the TV guide. So I couldn’t watch any of them live anyway. For example, Temptation of Wife is far behind what is playing elsewhere, and when it is on, it is called “SBS News.” LOL.
-Samsooki
i love her, wish her best luck with this series.
LOL at the Fresh Ramen… I can’t sing the song any other way!
And thanks for the pics! I’m definitely looking forward to City Hall and Kim Sun-ah’s performance.
Sun Ah is back to what she does best, chaos and craziness.
Can’t wait.
LOL Rain is hilarious
LOL I can just imagine Sun Ah dancing to that song (fresh woman) with a deadpan face, w/c she’s really good at.
HAA. Rain looks hilariousss <3
LMAO!!! “fresh ramen fresh ramen!” hahaha. it hella sounded like that! hahaha
but i can’t wait to see this drama. i was already excited cause kim sun ah is in it…but with all the stills it’s making me more excited. ^^
@ 26 & 30 Samsooki :
Oh ya, don’t we all know it. Can you imagine if we are all living in Korea right now? We would be having 3 TVs on, at the same time, in the same room, lined up against each other and then grow 2 extra pairs of eyes!!!!
Stupid rivalry I must say.
lol….when I first heard the song I did actually hear “Fresh Woman”….but after reading this, all I can hear is “Fresh Ramen”.
Fingers crossed for Kim Sun ah tonight…..
“fresh ramen! fresh ramen”!
LOL! Fresh Ramen!
I’m gonna start singing that song with “Fresh Ramen” rather than “Fresh Woman.” It sounds better! LOL!
This definitely gave me a laugh after seeing the current drug scandals and the most recent celebrity suicide.
R.I.P
hahahaha, fresh ramen. its funny how kim sun ah and rain have so many connected situations, like the newspaper prank and the tango they did together.
im really excited for sun ah’s comeback. i hope city hall is good!
LOL!!!
Can’t wait for this to come out.
And I always thought it was “Fresh Ramen” too
Wow. I never knew something as simple as mistaking “woman” for “ramen” would have me cracking up for 15 mins straight, but I can’t stop laughing AT ALL.
OMG…fresh ramen…lollll xDD;;
LOL I hope this is a fun drama! (: I wanna see it.
And WOW she looks great in the tango pics :O
oh my! it does sound like “fresh ramen” lol
Man, who didn’t think “fresh ramen” when they heard this song? Now that you mention it, I really want some now.
lmao i thought the same
See, now THAT dance looks like there’s actual emotion involved…as opposed to some of the awkward ballroom dancing scenes to which we’ve been victim recently…and these past few years.
I’m kinda curious about the show now…
