Saturday Spazz Night 20

Saturday, September 26, 2009

Girl group 4Minute’s member Kim HyunA has been put under the chopping board of the netizens for the performing costumes she wore, which was deemed indecent and inappropriate for the young fans.

A video of HyunA performing with 4Minute on their new song ‘Muzik’ has been uploaded on Youtube on 19th September, and HyunA’s mini-dress was spotted constantly going up while she carries out the choreography of the song. While she was dancing, the really short miniskirt kept going up, to the point her underpants was visible. HyunA was even seen pulling her mini-dress down.

Obviously, the fashion malfunction lies in the fault of the group’s fashion coordinator.

Netizens say:



“For a young teenager, she is wearing one really short minidress”

“What’s with the coordi?”

“At this rate, her outfit will be deem inappropriate and lascivious”

“This is really going overboard, she is still so yong, u 17 years old”

“This is pathetatic, why are the singers suddenly all under criticisms? It’s like our country has done something. It happened to both male and female singers – beasty idols, sexy idols, young idols”

“Looking at it, her skirt just need to be a little longer and it solves the problem”

“Coordi, you should try wearing it”

Following the reports that YG Entertainment whose artists include G-Dragon and 2NE1 has received notification letters concerning infringement of copyrighted materials from a local copyright holder, Teddy (HongJoon Park), the composer and producer of 2NE1’s "I Don’t Care," had an exclusive phone interview with AM 7 on the 24th to express his position on the issue. Whenever there was a dispute over plagiarism, it was usually the label (who has the neighboring copyrights) who released statements to acknowledge or deny the accusation. This is the first time that the composer, the copyright holder, has spoken about his position.

In the interview, Teddy said firmly that he did not plagiarize, responding to the claims that there are similarities between the chorus parts of "I Don't Care" and "Just Go" from Lionel Richie’s album released last year. He said, "I did listen to the Lionel Richie song following the controversy over "I Don't Care." You can’t say it is plagiarism just because the feel, not the melody, of the two songs is similar." He stressed, "Two people living on the opposite sides of the world could have similar facial features. It is not right to say it is plagiarism just because the feel of the songs is similar." "I feel frustrated that some people are convinced that I used the Richie song as a reference, if not plagiarized." he added.

Teddy is a member of the hip hop group 1TYM and has been with YG Entertainment for over 10 years, writing and/or arranging most of the hits by YGE artists. He arranged Se7en's "I Know" (2006) and Big Bang’s "Sunset Glow" (2008) and wrote and arranged TaeYang’s "Look Only at Me" (2008), Um JeongHwa’s "D.I.S.C.O." (2008), and 2NE1 and Big Bang’s "Lollipop" (2009).

He says, "When you write a song and if that song is similar to another song then it is the composer’s responsibility to make changes. However, as far as this song ("I Don't Care") is concerned, Heaven knows and I know that I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of so I will not discuss it at length." He added, "I have absolutely no interest in either lawsuits or plagiarism accusations."

Korean hip-hop group Epik High has entered the iTunes Top 100 chart with their sixth album, according to a press release.

The three-member band's latest album "[e]" placed in the Top 100 of Hip-Hop/Rap chart on iTunes, ahead of American hip-hop artists like Nas and Timbaland, on Wednesday.
Epik High, composed of Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz, debuted in 2003 with the album "Map of the Human Soul" and gained popularity with the success of their consequent albums "High Society" and "Swan Songs".

The group released their sixth album "[e]" on September 16.

G-Dragon, leader of popular idol group Big Bang, is set to hold his first-ever solo concert in December, according to his agency on Thursday.
"His first solo concert will be held about twice during the first week of December," announced Yang Hyun-suk, founder and CEO of YG Entertainment on the agency's official website.

Yang added the performances will be held at the Gymnastics Gymnasium in the Olympic Park with tickets to go on sale after the Chuseok holidays in early October.

The 21-year-old songwriter, rapper and singer, recently topping the charts with his first solo single "Heartbreaker", has also been the subject of heated debate on whether he plagiarized Flo Rida's "Right Round'.

Sony/ATV Music Publishing has said it is in the process of taking legal action against the song and three others it claims were plagiarized and released in the albums of YG Entertainment's singers.

Shortly after being chosen to be endorsers for shoe Megastore LesMore, popular girl group KARA has been chosen to be endorsers for Jinjin Food System's "Good Because it's Roasted Chicken" oven-roasted chicken product line.

KARA has exploded in popularity this year with "Mister" and "Wanna," and are quickly becoming a popular choice for companies to endorse their products. There's even talks of KARA going to Japan to endorse some products there as well.

Jinjin Food Systems on why they chose KARA, “KARA has been attracting many fans from the younger age bracket and their popularity keeps rising thanks to their young and fresh charm. We also wanted to choose models who are different to the former models, and we’ve decided to pick Kara as the model.” - translations by cactus @ KARAHOLIC Forums.

The filming for the CF and photo shoot occurred earlier today on September 23rd. When KARA was asked about the endorsement they replied, "We always wanted to become models for chicken, which are said to be done only by stars, we're even happier as well because we like chicken.”

They're right about stars endorsing chicken. Some stars who have endorsed chicken in the past: Kim Jong Kook, Super Junior, Wonder Girls, Kim Hyun Joong, Leeroy Jenkins, and Big Bang's Daesung.

Do you guys remember the girl group from few years ago called i-13? Well, they were supposed to be a large girl group, like Super Junior but it didn't really work out. They didn't succeed and disbanded. Now 3 of those 13 girls are coming back as JQT with one other member! Their names are Park Min Jung, Lee Ji Eun, Park Ga Jin, and the one who made the group through an audition, Joo Min Sun. Joo Min Sun was picked out of 200 people for this group!

You're probably wondering, What in the world does JQT mean? Well the J is the letter that is in all four girls' names, the Q and T stand for QUALITY and QUARTET.

The teaser was released already and it has been viewed over 200,000 times in Korea! They have been getting lots of attention before their debut and they will build the hype when they release their single, "I Fell For You" on October 6th.

Group 2NE1 member Gong MinJi was seen tearing after knowing that her grandmother Madam Gong OkJin’s health is deteroriating.
Gong MinJi has received much shock to find out that her grandmother’s health has deteriorated much with 2 stroke attack and a car accident. And with that, she was seen very quiet and looking troubled before the girls’ performance on Asia Song Festival on 19th September.
YG Entertainment said, “When MinJi heard the news about her grandmother’s health, she had a shock. The other 2NE1 members are also comforting her.”
Friends and families have revealed that they worried that Gong MinJi will feel guilty of not being able to see her grandmother as often with her singing activities.
A family friend said, “Madam Gong OkJin have loved to see Gong MinJi perform on stage more than anyone else from before MinJi debuted. With that this becomes more of a burden to MinJi. There are plans for MinJi to go visit her grandmother and take care of her after her minialbum activities end.
Gong MinJi has gained interests before her debut as the grand-daughter of Gong OkJin who is famous for her ‘transformation dance’. Gong MinJi also mentioned about her grandmother when she debuted, pointing out that her grandmother has given her advice about her performances on stage.

Kangin's CCTV findings about his assault case were released today.

The police have revealed the results after analyzing the CCTV video for the past few days. The police revealed through a press release, "Kangin and the other man involved threw punches and kicked each other on the street in front of the bar. After learning about this, Kangin's sunbae came and got involved in the fight, also throwing punches and kicking."

They continued, "All 7 people involved have been sentenced with acts of violence and legal violations but they are not slapped with a restraining order and are thus not going to prison. As for Kangin, we acknowledge the fact that Kangin tried to keep himself away from the fight. He tried many times to ignore the one person that kept following him and using violence against him. We will count Kangin's acts of violence as self defense."

The police concluded that the fight involved Kangin, two men who escaped the fight, one person who was with Kangin, and three extra people.

Kangin had denied the charges made against him 5 days ago and now the truth is finally out. The police have decided Kangin did try to stay out of it which makes it self defense but he must go to court for a further and more detailed decision about his punishment because he is charged with an act of violence violation

Oh dear, its not possible for someone to keep attacking you and you dont hit back cause its in the image of an idol. If I were Kangin I would get really pissed off and beat the crap out of that guy. Seriously, if you are drunk, dont pull idols down with you. I just hope the korean fans dont make such a big deal out of hit. Its only an act of violence and kangin is a victim!

Kim Heechul Loves Super Junior

“I act, but Suju is my eternal home”

“Because of the popularity, at one time I wanted to drop out of Super Junior, but now it’s an important name, one I couldn’t shake off if I tried.”

This is Kim Heechul, whose name became known through the popular idol group Super Junior. But if you take a look, his debut project was actually KBS 2TV’s 2005 Sharp 2 [반올림2], which means that the label “singer-turned-actor” is not accurate to describe him.

Therefore, Kim Heechul’s return to television in the new SBS weekend drama Love You Ten Million Times [천만번 사랑해] isn’t a deviation from his course but actually a return to his original profession. He makes his return a year and seven months after his last television role, the SBS drama Golden Bride [황금신부], which wrapped its broadcast run on February 3, 2008.

An honest confession: “At one time, I wanted to leave Super Junior”

Kim Heechul once wanted to leave Super Junior. They’re one of the mainstays of the pop industry and receive a lot of love, but he thought the group was like clothing that didn’t suit him.

“When I look back at the past several years, I was a really willful kid. I even kicked up a fuss over why I had to sing given that I debuted as an actor. It was a frequent occurrence to have to suddenly go onstage for Super Junior activities as I was shooting a drama. So I wanted to leave Super Junior. And it’s not like I’m an outstanding singer, truthfully…”

In the past few years, Kim Heechul has felt, “I want to quit being a singer and focus on acting.”

Unable to make up his mind, his relationships became estranged from the other members of Super Junior. The younger members began to look askance at their contrary hyung Heechul, and the distance grew between them.

But ah… the Super Junior members caused tears in the eyes of Kim Heechul, who describes himself as having been selfish.

“One day, I went to the practice studio after not going for a while because I was filming a drama, and the other members said, ‘Hyung, we set aside a spot for you when we practiced. You can just come in later.’ I had only thought of myself, but it gave me a heavy heart to see them looking after me. [Smiles]”

He was caught by some unknowable emotion that welled up from deep inside. Kim Heechul ran off to the restroom to shed some tears.

“The tough times have passed for Super Junior… now teamwork is best!”

That’s how Kim Heechul was moved by Super Junior’s love. That’s the moment that his wandering heart decided to make Super Junior his eternal home.

“I think the tough times have passed now. I’ve turned over a new leaf and opened my troubled heart to them frankly, and now I don’t know how I’d live without those guys. That’s why we even went on a trip recently. We all stripped naked and ran around and tore down the walls in our heart that had formed unknowingly.”

He boasted, “Now the teamwork in Super Junior is the strongest in the world.” Perhaps that’s why when talking of his acting return, he also talks of his pride in the members along with his new project.

“I once wanted to leave the team to go act, but I have to be loyal to the members who treat me so well. Hahaha. Super Junior is my eternal home. I want to live happily singing with the group, acting, doing MC work, and being active in many different areas.”

Kim Heechul closed by adding, “Acting isn’t a side project, but a longtime dream for me. In the way that I showed my personality onstage as a singer, I want to show colorful acting as well.”

AHH, the super junior LOVEEEE! :D Makes me so so so warm and tingly all inside!

Mighty Mouth "We get strength whenever we're on stage with Nicole"

Mighty Mouth expressed their gratitude to their featuring partner, Kara's Nicole (Jung Nicole).

Nicole has been Mighty Mouth's third partner for their title track "Love class", since August 26th, and has since performed with them.

Kara has been close friends with Mighty Mouth since before their debut, hence the 'Maskara' (mouth kara) line. Because of this, Nicole's performance with Mighty Mouth compared to their other partners has been noticeable, with her being more bright and lively.

From a recent call between Newsen and Mighty Mouth, they have told us, "Thanks to Nicole, it feels great when we're on stage. Our other partners have also worked hard, but Nicole has been the most passionate." They also said, "As she suggest ideas to improve ourselves and work hard on our performances is something we find cute and are thankful for.

By recruiting Han Ye Seul as a featuring and gathering interest, Mighty Mouth's "Love Class" has since had After School's UEE, and Four Minute's Hyunah as featurings on stage.

Mighty Mouth's "Love Class" has since been doing well on music charts, admist the many idol groups. Kara has been keeping their dignity as a girl group with they 2nd album double hits, 'Wanna', and 'Mister'.

She really is everyone's BFF!

TVXQ talks with SM Entertainment break down

TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki members Xiah, Micky, and Jaejoong were trying to make efforts to resolve the issues with SM Entertainment behind the scenes but it seems all talks of coming to an agreement have broken apart. Korean Media Outlet Newsen recently had a phone conversation with the court overseeing the issue.

In the phone conversation, the court stated that it'll be all up to them to come up with the resolution as both sides despite talks of resolution, will not budge from their initial stances. They continued by stating that they're thoroughly reviewing all the papers, documents, and evidence given. After this thorough investigation, both parties will be notified of the decision. The Court stated that they don't know when exactly they'll come up with the decision but that it should be sometime this month.

As the talks have broken down, it seems there's no chance of resolution outside the courts. Hopefully the courts come up with a fair and firm decision

Goo Hara’s Shocking Waist Measurements Revealed!



KARA's Goo Hara has recently grabbed the interests of netizens with her impressive 20 inch (~ 51 cm) waistline.

Ever since the release of their album 'Revolution', KARA has recently been performing 'Mister' while wearing belly shirts, and Goo Hara especially has been a hot topic among netizens for her tiny 'ant-waist'.

KARA's representatives stated, 'Due to her very small body and thin bones, Hara looks very skinny. She has always had a skinny waist, but the group's recent diet for their comeback and their busy schedules further reduced her waist. Recent measurements have shown that she has a waistline of just a little less than 21 inches.'

Hara also recently stated shyly, 'I can't gain much weight because I have such a busy schedule. Fans often call me ant-waist. It's a bit embarrassing at times.'

JYP's STATEMENT "2PM will continue with 6 members"

JYP finally made a statement on JYPE homepage :

I talked to JYPE staffs, 2PM members, and Jaebeom about our future plans. First of all, although many people have sent their encouraging words to Jaebeom, he hasn’t changed his mind; thinking he made a huge mistake. He said that he is still very sorry and too ashamed to be on the stage. He also told me that since other 2PM members have worked so hard, they should not be affected by this in any negative ways. That’s why he left 2PM so quickly.

I think the same way as Jaebeom. The reason why I didn't stop him from leaving is because I thought whether Jay being in 2PM or not now won’t be that big deal when you look at his life as a whole. Some think 4 years of his hard working has been destroyed, but his skills that were built up in 4 years are still remained in his body.

If Jaebeom receives a chance to grow up and become more mature by this incident, he will be able to fly even further later on. As criticism against Jay was way too harsh, requesting to revoke Jay's resignation is asking for too much as well. It’s my role to respect his opinion wanting to have his time alone apart from the stage, and help him later when he says he wants to be on the stage again.

I think you should give him supports by then. Again, I apologize for not being able to manage and protect him well. We'll try our best to not make this happen again

Thank you again,
2PM will continue their schedule with 6 members as it was planned

Super Junior arrives in Hong Kong; Kangin avoids the media

Super Junior arrived in Hong Kong yesterday in preparation of the Hong Kong leg of their Super Show 2 Live Tour, and Kangin who was involved in a case of drunken brawling did not appear at the press conference, even though he’d touched down together with the rest of his members.

Another member, Kibum, on the other hand, did not take part in the concert because of his injury.

During yesterday’s press conference, the media’s main focus was on what the other members felt about Kangin’s involvement in the drunken brawl case. Heechul, who donned a facemask throughout, replied that Super Junior will always work hard, and they thanked everyone for their concern.

Super Junior even showed off a few lines of Cantonese, in the spirit of doing as Romans do in Rome, but unfortunately no one could understand a word of what they were saying.

All 12 members will have their own special stages during the concert, and Ryeowook revealed that he would be cross-dressing as a woman, and Donghae will perform a song while riding on a bicycle.

CROSS DRESSING? i think i havent seen ryeowook crossdress and i thought he should.hehe..donghae riding on a bicycle? okay, this sounds like a circus to me.

KBS boycotts YG Entertainment – f(x) Sulli the reason behind it?
(warning : extremely bad translation)



It has been known that YG Entertainment has been boycotted by KBS 2FM. The radio station will boycott all appearances by YG singers.
This was sparked off by a sudden no-show by GDragon on Sukira on 15th September, and KBS 2FM had refused to play any YG singers’ song on the station for the whole of that day.


And it was questioned if the dispute between the YG Ent and KBS 2FM was due to GDragon mentioning f(x) Sulli in his earlier radio show appearance.




▶ Was f(x) Sulli the problem for no-show on radio show?

KBS 2FM said on 18th September, “On 15th September, with the sudden non-participation of GDragon for our radio show Sukira, we have gone against the trust given by listeners. With that we have decided to put a boycott against YG singers indefinitely.”

On the 15th itself, KBS 2FM did not aire any of the songs by YG singers.

There were originally plans for GDragon to appear on ‘Super Junior Kiss The Radio (Sukira)’ show, and the production team to Sukira said, “GDragon was originally set to appear on the show on 15th September, but they suddenly said that they will not have him on the show on the 10th. And even with the request of our team, they have broken their promise and did not let him go on the show.”

Even though Sukira’s production team has tried to persuade for GDragon to appear on the show by posting on their homepage, YG managers did not even apologise or give an explanation to GDragon’s no-show after that.

One of the producers said, “YG Ent said that when GDragon were asked the question “Which junior girlgroup singers do you think is the cutest?” and he answered f(x) Sulli on 9th September on one of the radio shows on 9th September, it became a problem and it is difficult to have him go on radio show. But in the schedule shared by GDragon and his fans, it was stated that he will be appearing on Sukira”
▶ YG speaks up

While YG spoke up about KBS 2FM’s boycott against them as being “unfair” to them.

A YG representative said on 18th September, “GDragon went on to KBS 2FM ‘Up The Volume’ for his first radio show programme,and 2NE1 also appear on Sukira – we have been on good terms with KBS radio, we are in shock and disbelief to have received such a notification from them. Even though we did receive requests for GDragon to go on Sukira, we did not 100% agree or promise that he will go on the show.”

Yang Hyun Seok also talked about this during an interview on 18th September, “We have clearly stated our stand that it is difficult to have GDragon on the radio show on 10th and 14th September. We have decided that it is not good to have GDragon talk too much about personal stuff and had decided that he will not go on radio shows.” He also stressed that GDragon has not gone on any other radio shows after the 2 radio shows he did at the beginning period of his solo debut.

He added, “To get boycotted by a broadcast company, isn’t the measures too harsh?”

But KBS 2FM had stated, “The boycott only appears on radio show, it has nothing to do with KBS TV.”

Meanwhile, GDragon will continue to appear on KBS Music Bank next week.

Jessica, "I didn't know Krystal would debut this fast"

9-girl group SNSD's Jessica(20) gave an encouraging message to her younger sister Krystal(15) who made her debut through the 5-girl rookie group f(x).

On the 15th, after the press conference about the production for the musical 'Legally Blonde' at the Seoul Samsungdong Coex Artium in the afternoon, Jessica showed her worries about her younger sister during the meeting with Star News.

"Krystal made her debut at a younger age than me. Making an early debut can be a good thing but I'm still worried" said Jessica, caring as a older sister, not as a senior singer.

"However, Krystal, being a strong girl, will do a good job"; "I also heard from manager oppa last year that she was doing great", said Jessica with a smile on her face.

Then she said, "Actually, before I started my activities, I didn't have time to spend with her so I didn't know she could sing, dance and talk so well like that"; "Learning/practicing dance and sing in a fast time to the point of being capable of debuting already never crossed my mind", feeling proud.

"I hope Krystal can work hard in the future like how she is doing now"; "Surely, similar aspects between us will appear because we are sisters, not because she is trying to follow her older sister. But with each one of us carrying a different charm, it would be good if hers could be explored.", requested Jessica.


On a side note, 'Legally Blonde', which it has the same name with the Hollywood movie, it's originally a musical from Broadway. Jessica will play the female protagonist Elle Woods together with actress Lee Haniu and actor Kim Jiwoo, making their performance on the November, 14th at the Coex Atrium.

Saturday Spazz Night 20

Saturday, September 26, 2009

Girl group 4Minute’s member Kim HyunA has been put under the chopping board of the netizens for the performing costumes she wore, which was deemed indecent and inappropriate for the young fans.

A video of HyunA performing with 4Minute on their new song ‘Muzik’ has been uploaded on Youtube on 19th September, and HyunA’s mini-dress was spotted constantly going up while she carries out the choreography of the song. While she was dancing, the really short miniskirt kept going up, to the point her underpants was visible. HyunA was even seen pulling her mini-dress down.

Obviously, the fashion malfunction lies in the fault of the group’s fashion coordinator.

Netizens say:



“For a young teenager, she is wearing one really short minidress”

“What’s with the coordi?”

“At this rate, her outfit will be deem inappropriate and lascivious”

“This is really going overboard, she is still so yong, u 17 years old”

“This is pathetatic, why are the singers suddenly all under criticisms? It’s like our country has done something. It happened to both male and female singers – beasty idols, sexy idols, young idols”

“Looking at it, her skirt just need to be a little longer and it solves the problem”

“Coordi, you should try wearing it”

Following the reports that YG Entertainment whose artists include G-Dragon and 2NE1 has received notification letters concerning infringement of copyrighted materials from a local copyright holder, Teddy (HongJoon Park), the composer and producer of 2NE1’s "I Don’t Care," had an exclusive phone interview with AM 7 on the 24th to express his position on the issue. Whenever there was a dispute over plagiarism, it was usually the label (who has the neighboring copyrights) who released statements to acknowledge or deny the accusation. This is the first time that the composer, the copyright holder, has spoken about his position.

In the interview, Teddy said firmly that he did not plagiarize, responding to the claims that there are similarities between the chorus parts of "I Don't Care" and "Just Go" from Lionel Richie’s album released last year. He said, "I did listen to the Lionel Richie song following the controversy over "I Don't Care." You can’t say it is plagiarism just because the feel, not the melody, of the two songs is similar." He stressed, "Two people living on the opposite sides of the world could have similar facial features. It is not right to say it is plagiarism just because the feel of the songs is similar." "I feel frustrated that some people are convinced that I used the Richie song as a reference, if not plagiarized." he added.

Teddy is a member of the hip hop group 1TYM and has been with YG Entertainment for over 10 years, writing and/or arranging most of the hits by YGE artists. He arranged Se7en's "I Know" (2006) and Big Bang’s "Sunset Glow" (2008) and wrote and arranged TaeYang’s "Look Only at Me" (2008), Um JeongHwa’s "D.I.S.C.O." (2008), and 2NE1 and Big Bang’s "Lollipop" (2009).

He says, "When you write a song and if that song is similar to another song then it is the composer’s responsibility to make changes. However, as far as this song ("I Don't Care") is concerned, Heaven knows and I know that I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of so I will not discuss it at length." He added, "I have absolutely no interest in either lawsuits or plagiarism accusations."

Korean hip-hop group Epik High has entered the iTunes Top 100 chart with their sixth album, according to a press release.

The three-member band's latest album "[e]" placed in the Top 100 of Hip-Hop/Rap chart on iTunes, ahead of American hip-hop artists like Nas and Timbaland, on Wednesday.
Epik High, composed of Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz, debuted in 2003 with the album "Map of the Human Soul" and gained popularity with the success of their consequent albums "High Society" and "Swan Songs".

The group released their sixth album "[e]" on September 16.

G-Dragon, leader of popular idol group Big Bang, is set to hold his first-ever solo concert in December, according to his agency on Thursday.
"His first solo concert will be held about twice during the first week of December," announced Yang Hyun-suk, founder and CEO of YG Entertainment on the agency's official website.

Yang added the performances will be held at the Gymnastics Gymnasium in the Olympic Park with tickets to go on sale after the Chuseok holidays in early October.

The 21-year-old songwriter, rapper and singer, recently topping the charts with his first solo single "Heartbreaker", has also been the subject of heated debate on whether he plagiarized Flo Rida's "Right Round'.

Sony/ATV Music Publishing has said it is in the process of taking legal action against the song and three others it claims were plagiarized and released in the albums of YG Entertainment's singers.

Netizens’ comments were:


“TaeYeon sang so well. I look forward to the full version of the song”
“I like the OST song. It has been since we have a good OST song”
“Sunny’s voice is really pretty and I’m surprised”
“I don’t know that Sunny’s voice would sound so sweet.”

Krystal, the youngest member of the five-member, super rookie girl group f(x), revealed her overflowing love for her older sister, SNSD's Jessica.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, Krystal uploaded a picture of her on her me2day [Korean Twitter] page. In it, she is staring off to the side and the comment under it reads, "This picture shows me waiting for something."

She also wrote, "What am I waiting for? Jessica? I have to quickly kidnap Jessica. Hehe." People can get a glimpse of Krystal's trust and love for Jessica.

It has been revealed that Jessica gives advice to Krystal, who has just debuted, whenever she has free time, and that her love for her little sister is uncommonly strong.

Krystal is a member of f(x), a group that debuted earlier this month with the song 'LA chA TA'. Currently, the group is actively promoting in public and on broadcasts.

Shortly after being chosen to be endorsers for shoe Megastore LesMore, popular girl group KARA has been chosen to be endorsers for Jinjin Food System's "Good Because it's Roasted Chicken" oven-roasted chicken product line.

KARA has exploded in popularity this year with "Mister" and "Wanna," and are quickly becoming a popular choice for companies to endorse their products. There's even talks of KARA going to Japan to endorse some products there as well.

Jinjin Food Systems on why they chose KARA, “KARA has been attracting many fans from the younger age bracket and their popularity keeps rising thanks to their young and fresh charm. We also wanted to choose models who are different to the former models, and we’ve decided to pick Kara as the model.” - translations by cactus @ KARAHOLIC Forums.

The filming for the CF and photo shoot occurred earlier today on September 23rd. When KARA was asked about the endorsement they replied, "We always wanted to become models for chicken, which are said to be done only by stars, we're even happier as well because we like chicken.”

They're right about stars endorsing chicken. Some stars who have endorsed chicken in the past: Kim Jong Kook, Super Junior, Wonder Girls, Kim Hyun Joong, Leeroy Jenkins, and Big Bang's Daesung.

Do you guys remember the girl group from few years ago called i-13? Well, they were supposed to be a large girl group, like Super Junior but it didn't really work out. They didn't succeed and disbanded. Now 3 of those 13 girls are coming back as JQT with one other member! Their names are Park Min Jung, Lee Ji Eun, Park Ga Jin, and the one who made the group through an audition, Joo Min Sun. Joo Min Sun was picked out of 200 people for this group!

You're probably wondering, What in the world does JQT mean? Well the J is the letter that is in all four girls' names, the Q and T stand for QUALITY and QUARTET.

The teaser was released already and it has been viewed over 200,000 times in Korea! They have been getting lots of attention before their debut and they will build the hype when they release their single, "I Fell For You" on October 6th.

Group 2NE1 member Gong MinJi was seen tearing after knowing that her grandmother Madam Gong OkJin’s health is deteroriating.
Gong MinJi has received much shock to find out that her grandmother’s health has deteriorated much with 2 stroke attack and a car accident. And with that, she was seen very quiet and looking troubled before the girls’ performance on Asia Song Festival on 19th September.
YG Entertainment said, “When MinJi heard the news about her grandmother’s health, she had a shock. The other 2NE1 members are also comforting her.”
Friends and families have revealed that they worried that Gong MinJi will feel guilty of not being able to see her grandmother as often with her singing activities.
A family friend said, “Madam Gong OkJin have loved to see Gong MinJi perform on stage more than anyone else from before MinJi debuted. With that this becomes more of a burden to MinJi. There are plans for MinJi to go visit her grandmother and take care of her after her minialbum activities end.
Gong MinJi has gained interests before her debut as the grand-daughter of Gong OkJin who is famous for her ‘transformation dance’. Gong MinJi also mentioned about her grandmother when she debuted, pointing out that her grandmother has given her advice about her performances on stage.

Kangin's CCTV findings about his assault case were released today.

The police have revealed the results after analyzing the CCTV video for the past few days. The police revealed through a press release, "Kangin and the other man involved threw punches and kicked each other on the street in front of the bar. After learning about this, Kangin's sunbae came and got involved in the fight, also throwing punches and kicking."

They continued, "All 7 people involved have been sentenced with acts of violence and legal violations but they are not slapped with a restraining order and are thus not going to prison. As for Kangin, we acknowledge the fact that Kangin tried to keep himself away from the fight. He tried many times to ignore the one person that kept following him and using violence against him. We will count Kangin's acts of violence as self defense."

The police concluded that the fight involved Kangin, two men who escaped the fight, one person who was with Kangin, and three extra people.

Kangin had denied the charges made against him 5 days ago and now the truth is finally out. The police have decided Kangin did try to stay out of it which makes it self defense but he must go to court for a further and more detailed decision about his punishment because he is charged with an act of violence violation

Oh dear, its not possible for someone to keep attacking you and you dont hit back cause its in the image of an idol. If I were Kangin I would get really pissed off and beat the crap out of that guy. Seriously, if you are drunk, dont pull idols down with you. I just hope the korean fans dont make such a big deal out of hit. Its only an act of violence and kangin is a victim!

Kim Heechul Loves Super Junior

“I act, but Suju is my eternal home”

“Because of the popularity, at one time I wanted to drop out of Super Junior, but now it’s an important name, one I couldn’t shake off if I tried.”

This is Kim Heechul, whose name became known through the popular idol group Super Junior. But if you take a look, his debut project was actually KBS 2TV’s 2005 Sharp 2 [반올림2], which means that the label “singer-turned-actor” is not accurate to describe him.

Therefore, Kim Heechul’s return to television in the new SBS weekend drama Love You Ten Million Times [천만번 사랑해] isn’t a deviation from his course but actually a return to his original profession. He makes his return a year and seven months after his last television role, the SBS drama Golden Bride [황금신부], which wrapped its broadcast run on February 3, 2008.

An honest confession: “At one time, I wanted to leave Super Junior”

Kim Heechul once wanted to leave Super Junior. They’re one of the mainstays of the pop industry and receive a lot of love, but he thought the group was like clothing that didn’t suit him.

“When I look back at the past several years, I was a really willful kid. I even kicked up a fuss over why I had to sing given that I debuted as an actor. It was a frequent occurrence to have to suddenly go onstage for Super Junior activities as I was shooting a drama. So I wanted to leave Super Junior. And it’s not like I’m an outstanding singer, truthfully…”

In the past few years, Kim Heechul has felt, “I want to quit being a singer and focus on acting.”

Unable to make up his mind, his relationships became estranged from the other members of Super Junior. The younger members began to look askance at their contrary hyung Heechul, and the distance grew between them.

But ah… the Super Junior members caused tears in the eyes of Kim Heechul, who describes himself as having been selfish.

“One day, I went to the practice studio after not going for a while because I was filming a drama, and the other members said, ‘Hyung, we set aside a spot for you when we practiced. You can just come in later.’ I had only thought of myself, but it gave me a heavy heart to see them looking after me. [Smiles]”

He was caught by some unknowable emotion that welled up from deep inside. Kim Heechul ran off to the restroom to shed some tears.

“The tough times have passed for Super Junior… now teamwork is best!”

That’s how Kim Heechul was moved by Super Junior’s love. That’s the moment that his wandering heart decided to make Super Junior his eternal home.

“I think the tough times have passed now. I’ve turned over a new leaf and opened my troubled heart to them frankly, and now I don’t know how I’d live without those guys. That’s why we even went on a trip recently. We all stripped naked and ran around and tore down the walls in our heart that had formed unknowingly.”

He boasted, “Now the teamwork in Super Junior is the strongest in the world.” Perhaps that’s why when talking of his acting return, he also talks of his pride in the members along with his new project.

“I once wanted to leave the team to go act, but I have to be loyal to the members who treat me so well. Hahaha. Super Junior is my eternal home. I want to live happily singing with the group, acting, doing MC work, and being active in many different areas.”

Kim Heechul closed by adding, “Acting isn’t a side project, but a longtime dream for me. In the way that I showed my personality onstage as a singer, I want to show colorful acting as well.”

AHH, the super junior LOVEEEE! :D Makes me so so so warm and tingly all inside!

Mighty Mouth "We get strength whenever we're on stage with Nicole"

Mighty Mouth expressed their gratitude to their featuring partner, Kara's Nicole (Jung Nicole).

Nicole has been Mighty Mouth's third partner for their title track "Love class", since August 26th, and has since performed with them.

Kara has been close friends with Mighty Mouth since before their debut, hence the 'Maskara' (mouth kara) line. Because of this, Nicole's performance with Mighty Mouth compared to their other partners has been noticeable, with her being more bright and lively.

From a recent call between Newsen and Mighty Mouth, they have told us, "Thanks to Nicole, it feels great when we're on stage. Our other partners have also worked hard, but Nicole has been the most passionate." They also said, "As she suggest ideas to improve ourselves and work hard on our performances is something we find cute and are thankful for.

By recruiting Han Ye Seul as a featuring and gathering interest, Mighty Mouth's "Love Class" has since had After School's UEE, and Four Minute's Hyunah as featurings on stage.

Mighty Mouth's "Love Class" has since been doing well on music charts, admist the many idol groups. Kara has been keeping their dignity as a girl group with they 2nd album double hits, 'Wanna', and 'Mister'.

She really is everyone's BFF!

TVXQ talks with SM Entertainment break down

TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki members Xiah, Micky, and Jaejoong were trying to make efforts to resolve the issues with SM Entertainment behind the scenes but it seems all talks of coming to an agreement have broken apart. Korean Media Outlet Newsen recently had a phone conversation with the court overseeing the issue.

In the phone conversation, the court stated that it'll be all up to them to come up with the resolution as both sides despite talks of resolution, will not budge from their initial stances. They continued by stating that they're thoroughly reviewing all the papers, documents, and evidence given. After this thorough investigation, both parties will be notified of the decision. The Court stated that they don't know when exactly they'll come up with the decision but that it should be sometime this month.

As the talks have broken down, it seems there's no chance of resolution outside the courts. Hopefully the courts come up with a fair and firm decision

Goo Hara’s Shocking Waist Measurements Revealed!



KARA's Goo Hara has recently grabbed the interests of netizens with her impressive 20 inch (~ 51 cm) waistline.

Ever since the release of their album 'Revolution', KARA has recently been performing 'Mister' while wearing belly shirts, and Goo Hara especially has been a hot topic among netizens for her tiny 'ant-waist'.

KARA's representatives stated, 'Due to her very small body and thin bones, Hara looks very skinny. She has always had a skinny waist, but the group's recent diet for their comeback and their busy schedules further reduced her waist. Recent measurements have shown that she has a waistline of just a little less than 21 inches.'

Hara also recently stated shyly, 'I can't gain much weight because I have such a busy schedule. Fans often call me ant-waist. It's a bit embarrassing at times.'

JYP's STATEMENT "2PM will continue with 6 members"

JYP finally made a statement on JYPE homepage :

I talked to JYPE staffs, 2PM members, and Jaebeom about our future plans. First of all, although many people have sent their encouraging words to Jaebeom, he hasn’t changed his mind; thinking he made a huge mistake. He said that he is still very sorry and too ashamed to be on the stage. He also told me that since other 2PM members have worked so hard, they should not be affected by this in any negative ways. That’s why he left 2PM so quickly.

I think the same way as Jaebeom. The reason why I didn't stop him from leaving is because I thought whether Jay being in 2PM or not now won’t be that big deal when you look at his life as a whole. Some think 4 years of his hard working has been destroyed, but his skills that were built up in 4 years are still remained in his body.

If Jaebeom receives a chance to grow up and become more mature by this incident, he will be able to fly even further later on. As criticism against Jay was way too harsh, requesting to revoke Jay's resignation is asking for too much as well. It’s my role to respect his opinion wanting to have his time alone apart from the stage, and help him later when he says he wants to be on the stage again.

I think you should give him supports by then. Again, I apologize for not being able to manage and protect him well. We'll try our best to not make this happen again

Thank you again,
2PM will continue their schedule with 6 members as it was planned
JYP

Super Junior arrives in Hong Kong; Kangin avoids the media

Super Junior arrived in Hong Kong yesterday in preparation of the Hong Kong leg of their Super Show 2 Live Tour, and Kangin who was involved in a case of drunken brawling did not appear at the press conference, even though he’d touched down together with the rest of his members.

Another member, Kibum, on the other hand, did not take part in the concert because of his injury.

During yesterday’s press conference, the media’s main focus was on what the other members felt about Kangin’s involvement in the drunken brawl case. Heechul, who donned a facemask throughout, replied that Super Junior will always work hard, and they thanked everyone for their concern.

Super Junior even showed off a few lines of Cantonese, in the spirit of doing as Romans do in Rome, but unfortunately no one could understand a word of what they were saying.

All 12 members will have their own special stages during the concert, and Ryeowook revealed that he would be cross-dressing as a woman, and Donghae will perform a song while riding on a bicycle.

CROSS DRESSING? i think i havent seen ryeowook crossdress and i thought he should.hehe..donghae riding on a bicycle? okay, this sounds like a circus to me.

KBS boycotts YG Entertainment – f(x) Sulli the reason behind it?
(warning : extremely bad translation)



It has been known that YG Entertainment has been boycotted by KBS 2FM. The radio station will boycott all appearances by YG singers.
This was sparked off by a sudden no-show by GDragon on Sukira on 15th September, and KBS 2FM had refused to play any YG singers’ song on the station for the whole of that day.


And it was questioned if the dispute between the YG Ent and KBS 2FM was due to GDragon mentioning f(x) Sulli in his earlier radio show appearance.




▶ Was f(x) Sulli the problem for no-show on radio show?

KBS 2FM said on 18th September, “On 15th September, with the sudden non-participation of GDragon for our radio show Sukira, we have gone against the trust given by listeners. With that we have decided to put a boycott against YG singers indefinitely.”

On the 15th itself, KBS 2FM did not aire any of the songs by YG singers.

There were originally plans for GDragon to appear on ‘Super Junior Kiss The Radio (Sukira)’ show, and the production team to Sukira said, “GDragon was originally set to appear on the show on 15th September, but they suddenly said that they will not have him on the show on the 10th. And even with the request of our team, they have broken their promise and did not let him go on the show.”

Even though Sukira’s production team has tried to persuade for GDragon to appear on the show by posting on their homepage, YG managers did not even apologise or give an explanation to GDragon’s no-show after that.

One of the producers said, “YG Ent said that when GDragon were asked the question “Which junior girlgroup singers do you think is the cutest?” and he answered f(x) Sulli on 9th September on one of the radio shows on 9th September, it became a problem and it is difficult to have him go on radio show. But in the schedule shared by GDragon and his fans, it was stated that he will be appearing on Sukira”
▶ YG speaks up

While YG spoke up about KBS 2FM’s boycott against them as being “unfair” to them.

A YG representative said on 18th September, “GDragon went on to KBS 2FM ‘Up The Volume’ for his first radio show programme,and 2NE1 also appear on Sukira – we have been on good terms with KBS radio, we are in shock and disbelief to have received such a notification from them. Even though we did receive requests for GDragon to go on Sukira, we did not 100% agree or promise that he will go on the show.”

Yang Hyun Seok also talked about this during an interview on 18th September, “We have clearly stated our stand that it is difficult to have GDragon on the radio show on 10th and 14th September. We have decided that it is not good to have GDragon talk too much about personal stuff and had decided that he will not go on radio shows.” He also stressed that GDragon has not gone on any other radio shows after the 2 radio shows he did at the beginning period of his solo debut.

He added, “To get boycotted by a broadcast company, isn’t the measures too harsh?”

But KBS 2FM had stated, “The boycott only appears on radio show, it has nothing to do with KBS TV.”

Meanwhile, GDragon will continue to appear on KBS Music Bank next week.

Jessica, "I didn't know Krystal would debut this fast"

9-girl group SNSD's Jessica(20) gave an encouraging message to her younger sister Krystal(15) who made her debut through the 5-girl rookie group f(x).

On the 15th, after the press conference about the production for the musical 'Legally Blonde' at the Seoul Samsungdong Coex Artium in the afternoon, Jessica showed her worries about her younger sister during the meeting with Star News.

"Krystal made her debut at a younger age than me. Making an early debut can be a good thing but I'm still worried" said Jessica, caring as a older sister, not as a senior singer.

"However, Krystal, being a strong girl, will do a good job"; "I also heard from manager oppa last year that she was doing great", said Jessica with a smile on her face.

Then she said, "Actually, before I started my activities, I didn't have time to spend with her so I didn't know she could sing, dance and talk so well like that"; "Learning/practicing dance and sing in a fast time to the point of being capable of debuting already never crossed my mind", feeling proud.

"I hope Krystal can work hard in the future like how she is doing now"; "Surely, similar aspects between us will appear because we are sisters, not because she is trying to follow her older sister. But with each one of us carrying a different charm, it would be good if hers could be explored.", requested Jessica.


On a side note, 'Legally Blonde', which it has the same name with the Hollywood movie, it's originally a musical from Broadway. Jessica will play the female protagonist Elle Woods together with actress Lee Haniu and actor Kim Jiwoo, making their performance on the November, 14th at the Coex Atrium.
