Super Junior’s Donghae serenely plays the piano

Super Junior is in the midst of taking a breather as all the members have gone their own separate ways to rest and recharge for their upcoming events. Dongahe took the chance to go play the piano and uploaded a picture on his Twitter of him doing so. In this black-and-white photo, Donghae is busy concentrating on playing the piano. The entire photo, though, screams “pictorial” as the flickers of light give the photo a soft ambiance. Donghae tweeted, “A night like tonight !!^^” Very good time to play the piano, Donghae. Mind giving us a song while you’re at it?

Jang Geun Suk Warns His ‘Sasaeng’ Fans To Stop Following Him

Actor Jang Geun Suk decided to give his dear sasaeng fans multiple warnings for interrupting his privacy through Twitter. ‘Sasaeng‘ fans are also known as overly-obsessed fans who follow their idols around for 24/7. In short, we call them stalkers. Annoyed, the idol tweeted, “Saseng fan kids. You guys are probably deceiving yourselves, following me and talking about how you guys know my every move. But you know what? By doing so, you guys are becoming that much more distant from me. Laugh while you can ^^ I’m a scary guy when I’m angry~” It seems that this sasaeng fans of his also exists in countries like Japan and China as well as he tweeted, “I don’t mind people following me, but there is a certain ‘limit’“. “I like Japan and the Japanese people^^ I just don’t like sasaeng fans~ I like China and the Chinese people, [it's] just that I don’t like sasaeng fans~ Now, if I say don’t follow me~ Just stop then. That’s what you call a ‘limit’~“. His last message to his stalkers reads, “By stressing this ‘limit’, I’m leaving this message in the hopes that the excessive affection doesn’t become obnoxious.” I sort of understand how he feels, the uncomfortable feeling of having people watch you wherever you go and whatever you do. It’s so uncomfortable that it can be really annoying and frustrating. Let’s hope his so-called ‘fans’ get the message.

SISTAR Unveils ‘Hot Place’ with Brave Brothers for Samsung Mobile Shop

SISTAR may have ended their promotions for “So Cool” a few weeks ago, but they’ve thrown fans off track by releasing a brand new single with Brave Brothers! It’s not for promotions, but rather a song that celebrates the opening of Samsung Mobile Shop Facebook. Titled “Hot Place“, this new song isn’t one to be looked over. It was written with contributions from various users from the Samsung Mobile Shop Facebook. They came up with the lyrics over a period of 15 days and they came together to create a pretty darn good track! SISTAR themselves praised the fans by saying, “We’re glad that our voices match so well to the lyrics written by the fans on Facebook. It’s a meaningful song to us because we were able to collaborate with everyone.” Check it out below!

Super Junior’s Yesung seems to be in another world

Super Junior is currently taking a break after wrapping up their fifth album promotions and SMTOWN Live in NYC, so each member is taking a mini vacation. Yesung is helping out his parents at their cafe and he uploaded a picture to his Twitter with a vacant look on his face. With a facial expression that looked as if he were in another world, he tweeted, “Looking vacantly at a far away mountain because I’m bored.” However, the picture reminds fans of a pictorial as he is dressed in an interesting outfit. Don’t worry, Yesung, your group mates will be back soon!

TOP’s charisma oozes in ‘On Style: Behind the Style’ for his Brooklyn Boy shoot

Last week, BIG BANG’s TOP looked mighty fine for his CF for his Calvin Klein Brooklyn Boy and now, we can go behind the scenes just how exactly he enjoyed working this shoot. We get to see glimpses of TOP’s dorky side and how we was able to pull off such a charismatic look for the CF, despite the new environment. My favorite part? It has got to be where he was on the steps leading to a shop’s basement and a guy like half TOP’s height comes out and speaks in English, “This one’s probably not okay”. (Though the comments telling that store owner to shut up and let TOP do his job is uncalled for. The guy let them use his premises!)

U-KISS To Make ‘Someday’ Into A 3D MV

U-KISS is currently promoting their song “Someday” after halting their activities for “Neverland” due to Soohyun’s throat problems. Now they are working on the MV for the song. Kevin Woo confirmed this on his twitter, posting “We are shooting a 3D MV for SOMEDAY at SBS~ We’ll be coming out of ur TVs lol.” The MV will be released on SBS sometime early next year. Until the release, U-KISS is wrapping up their activities in Korea and overseas for the rest of this year.

TVXQ Changmin’s killer looks predictable at a young age

Today’s photo of the day features TVXQ Changmin’s killer looks being predictable since he was young. Showing him throughout four different maturity stages, the monologue commentary “He’ll be cute. I told you! *DEAD*” is definitely a reaction I could picture in real life. It doesn’t look like his ability of being able to make other people swoon over him will be gone anytime soon.

Big Bang and JYJ collaborate for YG In Da Mix album

Various DJs have gathered together to create a remix album, “YG In Da Mix Part 4“, featuring songs from several YG Entertainment artists. The album includes remixes using songs from YG’s artists, and songs from other Korean and American artists. One of the songs included in the album is the remix of JYJ’s latest release, “Get Out“, with Big Bang’s hits, “Haru Haru“, and “Lies“. This remix song in particular had many fans jumping for joy as it’s possibly the closest thing they’ll get for a Big Bang and JYJ collaboration. Check out Big Bang&JYJ’s “Day By Day Lie… Get Out!” below!

Raw Ramen + Beer = Irresistable for Narsha

Recently, Brown Eyed Girls had made a guest appearance on Y-STAR’s “Food Road“, where member Jea had revealed an interesting fact regarding Narsha’s eating habit. The members had revealed, “Though we’re a girl group, we get notices from our agency after they see our food bills. I think our food bills could even beat SNSD‘s,” (that’s quite impressive…) And later on when asked about taking extra care about their body weights, Narsha had commented, “When having a hot stew like this, I get reminded of [soda and beer].” Adding to Narsha’s comment, Jea had then said, “Narsha drinks beer and eats raw ramen in the car”, while Narsha had replied, “When I have beer and raw ramen, my fatigue is gone. However, because I’m dieting these days, the raw ramen has been replaced with yogurt”. I definitely love these girls!! And soda (can’t drink beer yet) and raw ramen really does sound like some delicious midnight snack…

Taeyang and Hyuna Voted as the Next Rain and Lee Hyori

The hottest idols at the moment were asked who they believed were best qualified to become the next Lee Hyori and Rain in the iconic Hallyu wave. Of course there were a wide variety of opinions, but the two that came out on top were 4minute’s Hyuna and Big Bang’s Taeyang. Runner-ups in the poll included Beast’s Lee Kikwang, Jay Park, SNSD’s Yuri and G.NA. The poll was very interesting due to the fact that members of Infinite, MBLAQ, U-Kiss and B1A4 all actively and regularly voted for Hyuna as being the future Lee Hyori. MC Jung Hyun Dong, who happens to be very close to Hyuna, called the star to congratulate her. Hyuna was very humbled and remembered to thank everybody that voted for her. I’m sure Taeyang will still be informed about his new title. The full results of ‘The 2nd generation Lee Hyori and Rain – BEST 5′ will be released on MBC Everyone on the 22nd of October.

Baek Ji Young is Living the Life of Luxury

Maybe it’s the fact that she’s one of Korea’s top singers. Or maybe it’s just the fact that she knows how to save her money well (but it’s probably the first). But one thing for sure is that singer Baek Ji Young is living the life of luxury. She’s planning to reveal everything fashion-related in her brain through her style book, “MAKING STYLE 365“, which is set to be published in the near future. The main thing that she’s focusing on is decorating her lovely home. For the very first time, Baek Ji Young has revealed some pictures of her stylish abode. The walls are of subtle colors, like ivory and beige, while the bright red curtains, dining table, and lounge chair contrasts them. Overall, her home is the combination of both trendy and comfy. What’s got people in awe is the gigantic closet that Baek Ji Young owns. It literally could be a small bedroom! Endless piles of clothes, shoes, and colorful handbags fill up every space of the closet. She stated that she’s the type of gal that can’t bear to throw anything away. “Even clothes that are quite old, hold a lot of sentimental value. They hold memories, and I feel like if I get rid of these clothes, I’m throwing away the memories with them. I hold these clothes neat and dear to my heart, firmly believing that the fashion trends will repeat themselves”.

BEG’s Miryo Becomes A Victim Of ‘Secret’

Yet another idol confessed to have went under the knife! Brown Eyed Girls‘ Miryo had this secret of hers revealed on an episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Secret‘. A small game was played in which the loser will have one of their secrets revealed. Miryo, along with the rest of the guests, Kim Jong Min, Mighty Mouth, Huh Kyung Hwan, and Yang Bae Chu played. She ended up as the loser and so her former Honey Family member, Joora surprised everyone as she appeared on the show to spill the beans on Miryo who went under the knife for double eyelids. Startled, Miryo then confessed, “I wore glasses until my early 20s“ and mentioned that her glasses looked exactly like Kim Tae Won‘s big round shades, causing the viewers to burst into laughter. Hmm, nothing new I suppose.

‘Apple Girl’ Kim Yeohee unveils band version of Half

On October 29th, Kim Yeohee revealed the band version of her last release, “Half.” In the video, Kim Yeohee is seen playing the guitar while singing with a full band and backup singers behind her. While the original version gave off a cute feel, the band version gives off a more romantic feel. Kim Yeohee released “Half” back in August as a digital single, and performed a short version of the song on her Blackberry Playbook last month.

Yoo Jae Suk’s Dance is an Uncanny Resemblance to SECRET’s Love is Move Steps

“Love is Move” has been grabbing the 2nd slot on many charts, so it is no surprise that everyone is getting into the spirit of the dance. It isn’t uncommon for SECRET to create choreography that attracts much attention and lots of recreations. It makes people want to dance, and what is wrong with that? According to many, their is a new title for their dance. Let’s look at the evolution of SECRETs dance titles. Magic-Shaking Dance Shy Boy-Baby Bird Dance Love is Move-Baby Gorilla Dance Love is Move-Mama Gorilla Dance(it had been upgraded from the former) A clip of Infinity Challenge’s Yoo Jae Suk dancing to the infamous “jjo-ah” song. Although the dance moves look eerily similar to those of Secrets “Love is Move” Choreography. SECRET fans spotted the dancing and SECRETs performance to show the immense resemblance of the two. They uploaded their own video to show the similarity. They really do sync up pretty well. I’d love to see these guys perform together, let the girls give him a chance to be a part of SECRET.

f(x)’s Amber and Krsytal make silly faces for the camera

(x)’s Amber silly photo taken with fellow member Krsytal has garnered much attention from netizens. The photo was recently uploaded onto Amber’s Me2day account and reveals Amber and Krystal making bizarre faces. While Krystal has on a cute facial expression, Amber looks as if she’s about to eat Krystal’s hat. Netizens commented, “Both Amber and Krystal are so cute,” “The red in the picture is very strong,” “It’s good to see them together,” “They seem like they are having fun,” “I am watching High-Kick every day because of Krystal,” and “Amber looks rascal but cute as well.” Meanwhile, Krystal is currently appearing in ongoing sitcom “High-Kick 3”, while Amber has been cast as the new member of “Invincible Youth: Season 2.”

Kim Sun Ah vs. SNSD’s Jessica

Uh oh! Looks like yet another pair of stars were caught wearing the same dress! This time around, it’s actress Kim Sun Ah and SNSD’s Jessica wearing the same beautiful, dark apricot colored gown. The dresses aren’t exactly the same, just the skirt part of the dress. The shirt and waist ribbon are different as Kim Sun Ah had the ribbon around the smallest part of her torso while Jessica’s was a little higher up. Jessica chose to tuck in the tank top, while Kim Sun Ah wore it over the dress. Kim Sun Ah donned the dress at the “16th International Busan Film Festival” while Jessica wore the lovely dress at the “Love Your W” breast cancer campaign. The dress itself is absolutely gorgeous, so it’s a given that these two look amazing. Kim Sun Ah had her tied up in a bun and gave off a elegant, mature look. On the other hand, Jessica had her hair in loose curls and had a fresh, cute aura around her. I’d have to say that Kim Sun Ah has my vote this round. Jessica is a gorgeous gal, but it’s just that having the waist band so high made the rest of the dress seem a little poofy.

For Those Who are Asian and Out of Halloween Costume Ideas

As we all know, the year’s scariest and most hated by dentists holiday is coming up in just a few days! That’s right, it’s already time for Halloween! Kids will be dressed up as fairies, princesses, ghosts, demons, anything you can think of. Literally. Apparently, a bottle of hot sauce is also possible. If you’re completely at a loss for what to be this year for Halloween, I suppose you could maybe possibly take this outfit into suggestion. A picture of a bottle of Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce costume has been floating around the Internet and has got people cracking up. It even comes with a hat that’s shaped to look like the bottle nozzle! Let me see someone wear this on the 31st. Please.

SHINee’s Taemin works the camera for THE FIRST

Boy group SHINee will be releasing their first Japanese album this December and it seems a few photos from the album have managed to find their way on the Internet. We only get to see SHINee’s maknae, Taemin, pose for the camera, but man, does he know how to work that camera. He gives off a playful vibe for the first shot with his plaid outfit, but he seems to turn a 180 in the second picture with a stern look and leopard (cheetah?) print. Whoa, Taemin. Someone keep this maknae on a leash! And hey gaiz, SHINee’s Hello called. It wants its leopard (cheetah?) prints back.

FT Island’s Minhwan Spills The Beans On His Ideal Type

Anyone curious about FT Island Minhwan’s ideal type? The beans were spilled by his fellow member, the one and only Hongki! The idol group guested on MBC Every1’s ‘Weekly Idol‘ recently and Minhwan’s ideal type, A Pink’s Bomi was revealed. According to Hongki, Minhwan likes searching up a particular girl group member. That is how he ended up choosing Bomi as his ideal type. Also, he set her photo as his desktop background. Despite his secret being busted, he managed to confidently send a video message to Bomi that sounds like this, “Let’s get in contact once I get a phone and eat a meal together!”

ZE:A To Bring Out 2,000 Lucky Fans For A Movie!

Ever dreamed of watching a movie with the idols? These lucky 2,000 fans who were invited to attend a special event with ZE:A will be watching a movie with the boys at the CGV in Apgujung. Why? The boys felt bad as they knew their promotions were disappointing. So, they decided to bring 2,000 fans out with them for a movie! They will be watching a movie whose OST they took part in called “The Kick“. The boys rented out a part of the theater especially for the event so that fans could sit with them and enjoy the movie. Star Empire stated, “ZE:A is currently busy preparing for their new album on top of promoting overseas. Despite their busy schedule, they’ve always made requests to be able to meet their fans as much as possible. This movie event is one such event, and the members are hoping that it will make their fans happy.” How lucky. I wouldn’t be concentrating on the movie with a group of idols in the same movie theater.

F.T. Island’s Hongki Impresses Fans With A Sexy Selca

FT Island’s Hongki recently shared a selca of himself on Twitter. No muscles he promised his fans visible yet, just showing off his hair adorably tied up in a ponytail. The idol tweeted, “Tied my hair up for the first time in awhile… can’t see very well.” Hongki seemed to be in what seemed to be a salon with his permed hair tied up into a ponytail. What makes this selca of his sexy? The jacket of his sliding off his shoulders, barely covering his body at all. I bet the selca would be much more mind-blowing better if he were to stare directly at the camera. The selca grabbed fans attention who then commented, “I can’t seem to focus on your hair“, “Nice fan service“, “You look awesome” and “So sexy… +.+”. Way to make fangirls’ hearts flutter, Hongki!

United CUBE could potentially be held in South America

United CUBE concerts by Cube Entertainment artists had been a great success in South Korea, Japan, England, and East Asia. And seems like the company is planning on opening a big concert in South America, which is a first for all Korean groups. The Cube Entertainment CEO, Hong Seungseong, had previously revealed their United Cube Concert plans in Europe and South America. And as they kept their promise and held a European concert, the chances for a South American one is pretty high. The notable thing is, even though many groups have big fandoms in South American countries such as Brazil, there hadn’t been any groups to hold a concert yet. So if Cube Entertainment succeeds in bringing their artists there, it would mark the start of the Hallyu Wave of South America. Oh my gosh are you serious? They are moving on to South America now, and they haven’t even come to Canada!!! I’m a super big B2UTY and yet I never get to see them in person…

Boyfriend Gives Hope and Strength to Flood Victims in Thailand

Idol group, Boyfriend made their way to Thailand to lend a hand and hold a concert for flood victims. On October 26th, Boyfriend held a concert at the ‘Concert Perd Pynk’ drawing 2,500 Thai fans. On behalf of Boyfriend, a Starship Entertainment representative explained that “Through this concert, we want to help Thailand’s flood victims and lend hope and strength to the people. Though Boyfriend’s strength is small, they joined with the heart to help.” The day before the concert, the boys visited one of the shelters, Dong Muang International Airport where they delivered relief supplies. Back in Korea, Boyfriend is actively promoting their recent single “Don’t Touch My Girl”. They are such sweethearts. Thailand, HWAITING!!!

SNSD’s Seohyun surprises with her revealing outfit for Music Bank stage

On October 28th, SNSD performed their comeback song, “The Boys“, on KBS’s Music Bank while wearing trendy and modern equestrian uniforms. The girls proved they deserved their title as Korea’s top girl group by hitting all their notes while executing their choreography perfectly. The attention during the performance, however, was stolen by maknae Seohyun and her revealing outfit. Seohyun, who is known for her quiet and timid personality, wore a midriff-baring shirt that made the performance her sexiest yet. On this episode, SNSD beat out Huh Gak for the #1 spot this week and took home the K-Chart win.

Super Junior Yesung’s fail at dancing

Today’s video of the day features Super Junior Yesung’s fail at dancing. This clip shows him doing a solo dance, and his moves are a bit too, out of control! I don’t think ELF’s would ever want him to get near creating choreography for the rest of the members. If he did, my reaction would just be like TVXQ Changmin’s reaction at 30 seconds into the video.

Super Junior’s Yesung shares pictures of SNSD’s Taeyeon and Yoona at his parents’ cafe

Despite having a busy promotion schedule with their third album, The Boys, SNSD’s Taeyeon and Yoona still took time to visit Super Junior’s Yesung at his parents’ cafe, Handel & Gretel, proving that the bond between SNSD and Super Junior is tight. Yesung uploaded two pictures of the girls at the cafe and tweeted, “Taeyeon and Yoona who came to Handel and Gretel~~^^ These pretty girls!” In the first picture, Taeyeon can be seen pointing to a picture of Yesung playing the guitar (for Super Junior KRY’s “Fly”) while Yoona is somewhat pouting. In the second picture, Taeyeon and Yoona are posing with Yesung’s brother, Jongjin. That’s so sweet of them to visit Yesung! And hee, Jongjin gets to pose with the two. Nice!

JYJ’s Junsu kinda looks like Edward Cullen in this ELISABETH musical poster

JYJ’s Junsu will be taking part in a new musical, titled ELISABETH. The poster was unveiled for the musical and Junsu can be seen with a fierce, new look. Elisabeth is about the life of Empress Elisabeth of the Habsburg Hause and Junsu will be taking on the role of “Death”, who falls in love with Elisabeth and thinks that the only way to free her from her restrictive confinements is to lead her to her death. Of course, though Junsu is playing a mysterious character, his poster really reminds me of Twilight’s Edward Cullen. Good thing he doesn’t sparkle, though.

24-member girl group Leader’S to make their debut soon

Now before you all start thinking, “Great, another insane company thinking that quantity beats quality”, you will all be glad to know that this group’s agency has a different plan in mind. It’s true that Leader’S is a 24-member girl group, but instead of promoting with all 24 members at once, the group has been divided into three units with eight members each. The group’s agency, TGN Entertainment, revealed, “TGN is the acronym for TaGoNa (meaning ‘gifted at birth’ in Korean), and we have embarked on a project to debut separate units LeadersT, LeadersG, and LeadersN, in that order. The group currently promoting their track “Kiss Me” are members of the LeadersT unit.” They continued, “We have selected these girls through a survival competition, and the members of the units may interchange, depending on the situation. LeadersG and LeadersT are working hard to make their official debut.” The concept for the 24-member girl group was inspired by popular Japanese girl group, AKB48. The reason behind debuting 8 members at a time is because the number 8 is a lucky number in the Chinese culture. Additionally, the Korean word for 8 is ‘pal’, which is similar to the synonym of Chinese word ‘Pachai’, meaning ‘to make money’. As their name says, Leader’S will be striving to dominate the largest (Chinese) market in the world. TGN Entertainment also stated that the girls will be going for a friendly and approachable image rather than the usual cute or sexy concept. They also revealed that the girls are practicing dance and singing for around 12 hours a day in order to improve their vocal and dancing skills.

Currently promoting unit LeadersT includes members Dahae (25), Sulji (22), Serin (20), Yeonshil (20), Pengie (19) Chae Yool (18), Yesol (17), and Kyung Sook (17). The girls are actively promoting their single “Kiss Me” on various music programs such as Mnet’s M! Countdown.

SHINee releases promo video for Etude House

Earlier this week, it was announced that SHINee will be joining 2NE1’s Dara as the new models for cosmetic brand Etude House. The promotional video of the boys has been released and it just oozes cuteness. The video begins with the SHINee members yelling out “kajima” (meaning “don’t go”) as they beg the viewers not to change the channel. Check out the promo video below!

One reason why you should be near a drunk Nichkhun

While there are people who can handle their alcohol and don’t get drunk as easily, there are also many who completely lose themselves after a few drinks. The upcoming episode of Y-STAR, titled “Rapid Reflexes“, reveals what happens when South Korea’s top stars have a little too much to drink. Actors Jang Dong Gun and Song Seung Hun both fall asleep after a few drinks, while Song Joong Ki screams at the top of his lungs when he’s drunk. The three would make perfect drinking buddies as Song Joong Ki can wake them both up with his screaming. Then we have our stars with high levels of alcohol tolerance such as Lee Young Ah, who can drink 20 shots of whiskey without a problem, and Jo In Sung, who can drink up to 35 beer+soju concoctions. The strangest drinking habit of them all would have to be Lee Jun Ki, who begins hugging people and even removing his clothes after a few drinks, and 2PM’s Nichkhun, who starts kissing those near him. This episode of Y-STAR will be aired on the 29th at 11PM.

T-ara’s Eunjung wants to go back to school

For most people going to school is all about homework, tests, projects. However, there those glory such as making friends, learning new things, and just having fun. Those days are over for T-ara’s Eunjung and it doesn’t stop her from wishing it back. On October 27th, she tweeted a photo along with the message, “After seeing a pretty pencil box, I want to study now. I really need to go to school soon. It’s bad. I’ll come back one day.” In the photo you can see Eunjung pouting holding a pencil case that reads “Gentlemen only”. Netizens commented, ”There needs to be an opportunity for her to study hard” and “I guess it’s true when they say the grass is always greener on the other side…” Fellow member Jiyeon, also commented, “Oh stress.” Completely opposite of her, I wish I’m out of school! As Jiyeon said, “Oh stress!”

The best looking graduation picture of a celebrity goes to…

An online portal site, Monkey3 created an online survey from October 20th to October 26th with the question, ‘Which Male Star Graduation Photo was the best?’ Idols who were on the survey included Kang Dong Won, So Ji Sub, Song Joong Ki Won Bin, Yoo Seung Ho, and Jang Geun Suk. Actor Yoo Seung Ho took first place with 48% of the total votes. Song Joong Ki received 16% of the votes and Jang Geun Suk received 12%, making them second and third place respectively. Won Bin got 11%, Kang Dong Won got 9%, and So Ji Sub got 4% of the total votes. Netizens commented on the results and pictures, “Yoo Seung Ho is a living statue”, “The others are no push overs either”, “Why is there a big gap between Yoo Seung Ho and So Ji Sub?” and “I wonder who would win in a ‘Best Female Star Graduation Photo’ poll”. Do you agree with the outcome?

4minute’s Hyuna and After School Fear their Strict Composers

On the October 25th episode of popular program, “Win Win”, After School and 4minute’s Hyuna voiced their complaints about their composers’ strict, rigorous and draining training.

Brave Brothers stated, “I won’t ask them to sing if they’re not ready. I could even send them home during the recording.” He also told the members of the studio that he would give the most singing parts to the more vocally talented people. Members that couldn’t sing as well would be lucky if they got more than two words from him.

After School’s Jungah admitted that too had to face this. “I even went home with nothing done. I become more tense during the actual recording. I still feel fearful until now. One time, he asked me to repeat the part again and again, and I went home without anything done.” Yet, she did say that once the recording finished, he would turn into a much nicer, kinder person.

Leader Kahi added, “He keep on asking us to repeat a letter again and again. That’s why we’re getting more nervous, and can’t do better.” The host of the show, Lee Sugeun, then asked the After School members if Brave Brothers did so because he wanted to stay with them for longer, which made the studio burst into laughter.

4minute’s Hyuna also had some problems of her own. She wanted to change from her well-known rap image, but Shinsadong Tiger wouldn’t give her any singing parts. “He even gave me a part that doesn’t suit my voice at all, and keeps on teasing me.”

Shinsadong Tiger then protested, “I did that because I wanted to warn her not to sing anymore.” His excuse made everybody, including Hyuna, laugh out loud.

When you look at the success of 4minute and After School, it seems like the strict training and harsh decisions were worth it. Any thoughts?

f(x)’s Krystal’s inner child appears at the sight of a Ferris Wheel

f(x)’s Krystal is the maknae of her group and well, you can’t just blame her for letting her inner child come forth after seeing a Ferris Wheel. The young star was relaxing when she saw a Ferris Wheel and excitedly ran to the window to get a closer view of said wheel. She wrote, “I’m looking at the ferris wheel from inside the building bbyong…. But you can’t really see it, right? It’s because our unnie took the picture, that’s why.. Haha^^ Ha….ah…” True to her description, you can’t really see the Ferris Wheel, only the reflection of it on the glass. Nonetheless, Krystal’s expression is priceless as she is fascinated by the revolving apparatus. You know, sometimes, when I see something like that, I act exactly like her.

SHINee releases video message for The London Korean Film Festival 2011

After it was announced that SHINee would be performing at “The London Korean Film Festival 2011“, British fans went on a frenzy at the thought of seeing their favorite idol group perform live. To further excite fans for the upcoming festival, the organizers of the event has uploaded SHINee’s video message onto their official Facebook.

SHINee received the honor of being the only Korean pop artists to open up this year’s Korean Film Festival. In the video, the boys of SHINee invited everyone to the event and expressed their happiness in being able to meet with their British fans. They also promoted upcoming films like “War of the Arrow” and “The Unjust“.

SHINee’s participation in the event has caused tickets for the event to sell out immediately after its release through Odeon’s homepage. The influx of fans who swarmed the site hoping to purchase tickets eventually caused the servers to crash. Fans who were unable to attain a ticket began requesting for another event through the organizer’s official Facebook page.

However, the Korean Cultural Centre, along with the London Korean Film Festival, left an apology saying, “Thank you so much for your passion and energy for the London Korean Film Festival opening concert: SHINee in London. We appreciate that the issues with the booking/website have been frustrating and many of you have missed out on tickets on this occasion. We do hope to see you at the Cube concert in December and if not, at one of the many K-pop concerts we are planning for 2012: this is only the beginning…. Thank again for your support and dedication, you are the best music fans in the world.”

Meanwhile, SHINee will be performing at the opening gala of the London Korean Film Festival on November 3 at the West End in Leicester Square.

SNSD’s Seohyun, Jessica, Hyoyeon and Sunny go ‘V is for Victory’

SNSD made their comeback on Mnet’s M!Countdown, but prior to making their appearance, the girls decided to swing byMnet Wide Entertainment News for the Open Studio Talk.

After that, members Seohyun, Jessica, Hyoyeon, and Sunny decided to pose for the camera and brought out their “V is for Victory” V signs. Such a cute picture, don’t you agree? Too bad we didn’t get to see the full ensemble.

And yes, I consider the V-sign to be “V is for Victory”. Or peace sign. Actually, I saw my 7-year-old cousin posing with a sign and exclaimed that it was the victory sign. My aunt said he was holding up two of his fingers to show that he was in second grade. Whoops.

Super Junior’s Kyuhyun had a knife pulled on him

Super Junior is currently on a break after wrapping their activities for SMTOWN Live in NYC. Evil maknae Kyuhyun decided to take his vacation in Spain, but he met some trouble during his stay. While he stayed in Spain, a young man began to follow him and eventually threatened Kyuhyun with a knife. Thankfully, Kyuhyun wasn’t harmed in the encounter, but he was left visibly shaken by the incident and went on his Twitter and tweeted, “Early morning in Spain.. It was early and i was finding my way to my hotel/dorm,it felt like an area that was uninhabited. Suddenly a young man came next to me and started talking to me.. I didnt have a good feeling about this and all of a sudden he takes out a knife and starts threatening me.. I just started screaming and running away and in the end that person just gave up and went back.. People traveling alone, do take care of yourselves ㅜㅜ” Kyuhyun is currently by himself in Spain, but an SM Entertainment assured fans that he is fine, “He spoke on the phone with his manager before posting. Thankfully, nothing happened and he is safe now.” Omo. I really hope he’s fine. Even though he didn’t get any physical injuries, having a knife pulled on you can be a little traumatizing. And seriously, even though I don’t condone that guy’s actions, saying that ELFs will hunt down this guy and do so-and-so to said guy IS NOT right either. Seriously.

Even SNSD’s Taeyeon is like your average young lady with worries

SNSD recently came back with their new song “The Boys”, which achieved an all-kill and whose MV has reached 12 million views in one week. And amidst all of this, kid leader Taeyeon is not without her worries and concerns. She recently appeared on Mnet Wide Celebrity News where she was asked to hand in a handwritten resume that depicted her basic information as well as a life graph and brain map. Said brain map showed the current concerns and worries that she’s dealing with. Not only has she been concerned with “promotional activities for the new song”, “concert”, “cleaning up her room”, “obtaining driving license”, “trying not to get sick”, and “SNSD”, she also listed “hair thickness” and “disappearing double eyelids because of lost weight“. The latter two concerns have caught the eyes of her watchful fans. I should say that I’m a bit amused. Hair thickness? And disappearing eyelids? She is definitely your typical young lady.

Kwon Sang Woo Looks Dashing for Emporio Armani Endorsement

Stairway to Heavens own gorgeous male lead will now endorse Emporio Armani. Kwon song Woo looks dreamy in his photo shoot for the brand, he was always my favorite in the drama as well. With many male and female fans his presence should really make an impact for sales. I think he fits well in the suit and tie category of fashion. These pictures are for the brands 2011 Fall/ Winter Lineup. Being a fashionista he really knows how to project the items to make them more desirable. The line is trendy/modern meshed together, I really like the fedora picture myself,he seems so more relaxed and casual.Unfortunately his acting has taken a backseat due to leg surgery in Singapore on Sept 19th. He Tore four ligaments in his ankle after he failed to receive treatment after he hurt his leg during his movie “Into the Fire” Due to the unbearable pain he finally returned to Korea for surgery. He will be on Hiatus until November 16th when he teams up with Jackie Chan for a new movie. Not only will the photoshoot show up in a Magazine in Korea but four other Asian countries as well. Get ready to see him pop up looking amazing! Lucky Asian fans, Enjoy your Handsome actor!
