One thing Super Junior’s Heechul, FT Island’s Hongki, and Jang Geun Seok have in common

FT Island’s Hongki recently pointed out a similarity the fellow Chocoball members shared together. On December 31st, Hongki uploaded the above photo through his Twitter and wrote, “Kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke! Chocoball 5:5 hair parting, kekekekeke”. The photo attached featured Chocoball members Jang Geun Seok and Super Junior’s Heechul, as well as Hongki himself. The one thing the three shared in common in the photo was that they all had their hair parted in the middle at one point of time in their careers. I’m not a big fan of this kind of hairstyle but I think the three stars pulled it off nicely. Who do you think looks the best with their hair parted in the middle?

Super Junior’s Siwon Celebrates Sungmin’s Birthday

the first of the year, and with it…comes Super Junior’s Sungmin’s 27th birthday. His fellow group mate, Siwon, made sure to reveal pictures from the occasion. Siwon (@Siwon407) tweeted the message early on January 1st in Korea, “Happy Birthday #sungmin my brotha!” With it, he tweeted the picture of Sungmin smiling with his birthday cake. Shortly after the tweet, he tweeted another message “also enjoy your birthday and first day of 2012 go #sungmin!!!” with another picture….of the cake ALL OVER Sungmin.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUNGMIN!!! Hopefully he can get some rest now that all of the end of the year celebrations are over.

Taemin rehearses with Eunhae oppas for Oppa Oppa

Taemin and Minho of SHINee joined sunbaes Super Junior’s Eunhyuk and Donghae for the special performance of OPPA OPPA at the 2011 MBC Gayo Daejun and before the performance actually aired, it seems that Taemin was caught rehearsing for his performance. Indeed, Taemin has turned into an “oppa” for the performance and judging from the picture, it looks like he’s having fun with the performance. The question is, is he old enough to be an oppa? (Don’t answer that, it’s rhetorical.)

Idols who will welcome 2012 with ‘I am an adult now!’

2012 will be a big year for a significant number of idols as they will enter the world of adulthood. Idols who will be entering adulthood includes, Girls Day’s Minah, Infinite’s Sungjong, Double A’s Hoik and Kimchi, Boyfriend’s Hyunsung, B1A4’s Gongchan, TEEN TOP’s L.Joe and Chunji, f(x)’s Luna, T-ara’s Jiyeon and Kara’s Nicole. These idols will be turning 20 years old in Korean age. There has also been a significant increase ratio of idols turning 20 after debut due to the lowered average age of idols in the industry as a result of debuting early. Reaching the legal age, as fans we can only anticipate what will come of our lovely idols. Matured looks? Sexier or more innocent? I just can’t wait but for the time being, I can only foretell what lies ahead.

Super Junior says goodbye to 2011 with a group photo

Since 2011 will come to an end in a matter of hours, I’ll just get a head start and say, Happy New Year everyone!

Heechul wishes you a Happy New Year through his cat, Heebum

By HEEBUM” The picture attached shows Heebum staring into the camera. Heechul, we know you’re behind this all. ELFs and Petals hope you’re healthy.

Netizens commented, “Are you trying to give a gummy smile?”, “Good luck to you too in the New Year!”, and “You look as refreshing as your name. Very handsome.” In other news, Super Junior will be performing at ‘2011 MBC Gayo Daejaejun‘, so stay tune for their performance!

BEAST’s Kikwang was born to be a photographer

BEAST recently took home the ’song of the year’ for the 2011 KBS Gayo Daejun, but it seems that one of its member could take home an award for self-taught photography. Kikwang took a picture of Junhyung in a waiting room and was so pleased with his picture that he uploaded it and tweeted, “I was so bored and took a picture. But it came out so perfectly. Am I perhaps a natural-born photographer?” In the picture, Junhyung can be seen on his phone (mp3 player?), not really paying attention to his surroundings. His pose, plus casual clothes, reminded fans of a photoshoot for a magazine. And with the special effect on the picture, it looks like Kikwang was born for this hobby. Hey Kikwang, there’s another career option for you down the road once your idol days are over.

Super Junior’s Eunhyuk complains about KBS waiting room being too small

The KBS Gayo Daejun takes place tonight, and Super Junior’s Eunhyuk has updated his Twitter with a photo of the group waiting backstage.

The photo attached reveals the Super Junior members all sleeping on each others’ laps with their legs hanging off the sofa. Although that position was probably uncomfortable, the members of Super Junior all have bright smiles on their faces, causing fans to smile along at their close relationship. Stay tune for Super Junior’s performance at KBS Gayo Daejun!

Super Junior isn’t too happy about SM treatment during SBS Gayo Daejun pre-recording

The SBS Gayo Daejun 2011 took place during the evening of December 29th, but there seems to be a group not happy with their agency. That would be Super Junior and SM Entertainment. Apparently, Super Junior pre-recorded their segment for SBS Gayo Daejun, but because SM didn’t give notice to ELFs, only a few ELFs were present, with the majority of the audience a part of other fandoms. According to one fan-account, Super Junior even requested “Please give some reaction” and at the end, they went backstage after saying a simple goodbye, something the group doesn’t do. Some of the members took to Twitter to vent their frustration. Both Leeteuk and Donghae apologized to ELFs for what happened and Siwon even wrote in English to describe his feelings. @special1004: Honestly, this isn’t right..Shouldn’t they tell us beforehand? I apologize instead~ [Leeteuk] @donghae861015: Sorry ELF… [Donghae] @special1004: Everybody has gone too far.. @AllRiseSilver: Without ELF, there is no meaning to the year-end… Everything frustrates me!!!!!!!! Eat Eat Twice [Eunhyuk] @special1004: @AllRiseSilver Eat three times ~ ^^ ㅋㅋㅋ @siwon407: Keep eating @AllRiseSilver [Siwon] @special1004: @donghae861015 @allriseSIlver i am Super Junior’s leader Leeteuk. Who are you, the one that retweeted? I eat too… @allrisesilver: I am Eunhyuk. Who are you, the one that retweeted? [Donghae retweeted Eunhyuk's first tweet] @siwon407: any way.. you look at it, there isn’t a group more hard-working than us, and there can’t be a group more pitiful than us..damn it! @siwon407: if we’ve done anything wrong, it must be the crime of working too hard, don’t you agree everyone? well just forget it.. what a long day.. It’s definitely heartbreaking for the members, and if this goes on longer, who knows, the group might ask to break away from SM as well. Ho hum.

MBC uploaded a new picture of SHINee as part of a teaser for the event and it seems like they’ve all gotten some new hairstyles!

Legit or fanmade merchandise?

Oh kpop. The cause of grief for many teens and their wallets. Actual merchandise is usually expensive and hard to find, so as a result, alot of people buy fanmade, unofficial stuff, since it’s WAY cheaper. I remember in Singapore, I went on a shopping spree at a store called Comics Connection, and bought SO MUCH SHINee merch, but it was all unofficial, since there’s no EverySing there. I dunno, I felt kinda guilty for buying all that after, since I’m pree sure it’s not really legal. I bought alot more in HK too, and ended up giving half the stuff away >_< *guilty pleasure DX* I TRY to get legitimate stuff, but the stuff is seriously hard to find in Canada, or I guess in most countries… XP but if the fanmade stuff is REALLY REALLY good quality I can live with it, especially if it’s something small However, I absolutely REFUSE to keep fake CD’s and DVD’s. I dunno what possessed me to buy an SNSD one… I guess i didn’t really know =.=’ However, I got one for Christmas from a friend… DX What to do… I think this must be a recent thing for me XD Now i only wanna buy legit stuff, but i guess i will keep what i have XD

Kim Hyun Joong Cements his Charitable Nature by donating $150,000 USD to charity this year

Secrets never stay as secrets. With the purpose of hiding his true charitable nature, singer Kim Hyun Joong donated $150,000 USD to numerous charities throughout 2011. However, this hidden ’secret’ was recently revealed on December 26th, by the Korean Red Cross Association, which has cemented the star’s angelic characteristics. It was revealed that Kim Hyun Joong had donated $50,000 USD before embarking on his Japanese tour in November. Additionally, he increased the donated funds to $50,000 USD to an association that heats homes, as well as another $50,000 to feed children in Fukushima following the aftermath of the earthquake. This brought his total of donated funds to $150,000 USD. A representative of the organisation stated, “In the beginning of November, Kim Hyun Joong’s manager came by and donated $50,000 USD, relaying the message that Kim had wanted it spent where it was needed. He also asked that we not let the media know about it.” Key East Entertainment also expressed, “It was something he did on his own so we had no idea about it. We feel that he just wanted to share his feelings as quietly as possible.” His looks are just as equally as good as his traits. What do you think about the news?

Get a beautiful body with the ‘10-minute Girls’ Generation exercise

On an episode of Star King, Girls’ Generation’s personal trainer, Kim JiHoon, revealed on how you can have a body as sexy and fit within 10 minutes just like his girls. He started: “Just by following what I do, anyone can have leg-lines as pretty as Girls’ Generation’s.” Jihoon said that in such a confident way don’t you think? He showed to the audience the ”10-minute Girls’ Generation’ exercise,” which includes 4 minutes of shaking, 3 minutes combos, 2 minutes side knee kick and 1 minute hot hoping. Sounds easy, well not quite! Tiffany, Jessica, Sunny and HyoYeon were also with JiHoon on the same episode of Star King. They performed the exercises mentioned by their trainer. Certainly, if these 10 minute exercise will do the trick to have similar leg lines as Girls’ Generation, then it’s worth the risk trying it! I wish I have a personal trainer to like Girls’ Generation!

Dongjun picks Taeyeon as ideal type

You likeee?…Alright never mind Lee Soo Man will probably haunt me down so we’ll keep it a secret, don’t worry. *wink*

Kpop Vs. Jpop

Yes, the forever ongoing battle between the two is something that I feel the need to talk about. The issue I have with this isn’t the music, but the fans on both sides. I love to find new groups to listen to and new songs to try out, so I am always browsing the web and youtube trying to find a new Kpop song to fall in love with. It’s not too difficult for me now that Kpop is an official genre on youtube [YAY]. However, I have started to try and give Jpop a try as well since O have never really listened to it, but there are many Jpop fans too. However, the same thing happens whenever I go to a Jpop music video. There is always a fight of somesort between Kpop fans and Jpop fans. It’s really ridiculous! It’s worse than fan wars for single groups. These fans are attacking the entire genre and fan base of it. So, therefore, I fall under one of the fanbases. I am one of those people who cannot stand when someone else makes a claim attacking an entire group of people when really it’s only a few people in that group being obnoxious. So these genre wars irritate me because Jpop fans are criticizing Kpop fans and the Korean music industry so I feel attacked as well. However, Kpop fans are doing the same to them! I just don’t understand why someone feels the need to go onto a Jpop video and start something by saying how they are copyin Kpop. Or vice versa. It really is not that serious to me. I think if Kpop fans don’t want to like Jpop music, then just don’t listen to it. Same for Jpop fans. Starting wars on the videos is just immature and annoying. It makes me sad to call myself a Kpop fan when the Kpop fans are the ones who start alot of these wars, and it makes me turned off of Jpop when Jpop fans are criticizing and attacking Kpop fans [that's alot of pops...lol]. My whole point for this rant is that I just want to one day be able to go and look up a new song or mv without having to see these pointless wars. It is possible to like both kpop and jpop. I want to see more unity with the genres. Yes, there are some similarities but there are also many differences. Instead of focusing on the similarities or who you think is better, just try to focus on what you like about them or just not say anything at all. I feel that things would be alot smoother that way =] If only it was that simple to change the way everyone thinks and views things lol. What do you all think of this?

Siwon leaves you a kiss for Christmas

Christmas has come and gone this year, but it looks like there is still one Santa who is still doling out presents!

BEAST’s April/May comeback to be preceded by 3 singles

After an exciting announcement in which Cube Entertainment let fans know of BEAST’s upcoming world tour “Beautiful Show”, the agency also unveiled some more exciting news: BEAST’s comebaby, which will occur some time in April or May, will be preceded by not one, but three singles!

The first release, in February, will be a ballad track, March’s song will be a hip hop track, and April’s track will be a medium tempo dance track. Around late April or early May, BEAST will be making their Korean comeback.” With a plethora of BEAST news and such, looks like fans will have plenty to look forward to. Though, I wonder if they will be promoting the songs. Reminds me of 2NE1’s promotions from earlier this year.

BEAST wants you to watch their live Christmas special ‘BEAST for U’

Christmas is only a few days away (actually, like a day away in some places) and the boys of BEAST have quite the gift for you this holiday! On Christmas Eve (so the 24th, which is today in most areas at the time of writing this), BEAST will be performing on their Christmas Special, BEAST for U, which will be broadcast live to four different countries. Not only is it held in commemoration for their 800th day anniversary, but also for all the love and support they have seen and felt throughout the entire year. In addition to the performances, the one hour 20 minute special includes quite a few fun events so B2UTIEs, you shouldn’t miss this! But unfortunately, only theaters in Korean’s CGV, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong will be able to view the event (don’t worry, there’s YouTube!). Doojoon especially left a message of thanks, “It’s our third Christmas since our debut, as well as our 800th day, so we wanted to meet with our fans in Korea and Asia to spend a happy, meaningful time, as if we’re all enjoying the concert together in one area. We hope that this live present will bring great joy to our fans.” Hopefully, for those who can’t see this, it will be found on YouTube later.

IU receives special gift from Lee Seung Gi

And to tease you even more, we won’t even get to know what present Lee Seung Gi gave to IU until the Strong Heart Xmas Special airs. On this episode, IU revealed that she received a special gift, “Not long ago, I received a surprise gift from Lee Seung Gi oppa.” After being exposed, Lee Seung Gi shyly said, “I’m not sure whether she liked it. It’s a gift I personally picked out.” In addition, IU also spoke of what her dream date would consist of, “”Now that I’m turning 20, I know what kind of date I would want.” This episode will air on December 20th and I’m already dying (ok, not really) to know what this special gift is. Watch this be a gift where I will laugh a lot. Updated with the gift: Lee Seung Gi gave IU a fancy bracelet. She received the bracelet as a gift after promising to guest perform at Lee Seung Gi’s concert. The other guests on Strong Heart then teased Lee Seung Gi, joking, “Aren’t we guests too?” IU then proceeded to describe the bracelet in great detail. Lee Seung Gi tried to calm down the ’storm’ and responded, “I picked out the gift for IU personally. I had to go down personally in order to get a discount.” This statement brought everyone in the studio to laughter. Ok, so I laughed at how Lee Seung Gi said it, heh.
