SEOUL, South Korea (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – In the concert stage, there’s always a wardrobe malfunction. Then there’s a stage malfunction.
It has happened to the most veteran of performers like Madonna or the best trained beauty pageant contestants — taking a fall on stage in front of millions of viewers.
During a performance Saturday in South Korea, one of the members of girlband GFriend took a number of painful looking falls onstage.
Yuju, easily identified by a white knee guard, fell eight times over the course of one song, and another member SinB took a big spill in the middle of the stage.
To the girls’ credit, they managed to pick themselves up after each tumble and rejoin the others on cue pretty seamlessly.
The girlband is reportedly considering filing a lawsuit for the stage debacle. However, it wasn’t clear whether it will be filing a lawsuit against the concert promoter for the stage malfunction, or the shoe manufacturer for wardrobe malfunction.

HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Move over, Bruce Banner. Marvel Comics revealed Friday that the Hulk in its new Totally Awesome Hulk comic is teen genius Amadeus Cho.
Marvel teased the identify of the character over the past month, though speculation about Cho being the new Hulk started much earlier in the summer. But Marvel has now officially confirmed this, and in doing so, makes history: this is the first Marvel series with an Asian-American lead character.
Amadeus Cho, also known as Mastermind Excello, is a fictional character appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Greg Pak and artist Takeshi Miyazawa, the character first appeared in Amazing Fantasy vol. 2 #15 (January 2006). He usually appears as a supporting character or sidekick in books featuring The Avengers, or individual members of that group, such as Hulk or Hercules.
So the next big question is, who will play the role of The Hulk in the new film version that Marvel Pictures and Universal Studios will be filming starting this fall? Someone to replace Edward Norton who played The Hulk in the previous film.
Of course, it has to be someone who’s Asian or Asian American.
Several names have been floated around including John Cho (Star Trek), Harry Shum, Jr. (Glee) and Randall Park (Fresh Off The Boat). But Universal and Marvel thought none of them have the muscular build required of the Hulk character.
So it was decided that Filipino actor Sam Milby be given the role.
Milby has been making films in the Philippines and has been trying to break the ice in Hollywood to no avail. Well, his time has come. He will definitely make all Filipinos proud.
