JYP mentioned off-hand to us that the next single would be a brand new song. He didn't mention anything more than that, but he seemed to stress that it was "new". We shall see.

Apparently, G-Dragon, leader of Big Bang, is friends with Miss Korea (of 2009, as of yesterday), Kim Joo Ri! How do we know for sure? Well that’s all covered because YG Entertainment asked him while he was in Japan to confirm the rumor. And his answer was yes.

"While in Japan, G-Dragon was asked to see if he really was friends with her [Kim Joo Ri] and he said it was true. Nothing other than their friendship is confirmed. Due to their busy schedules, the two were not able to keep in close contact."

Certain things led the netizens to believe that they were in a relationship. Like in Big Bang’s first album, there was a Thanks To, Kim Joo Ri listed on there. And when Big Bang’s first album was released, she congratulated G-Dragon on his mini-hompy.

NEW
According to YGWorld.net: The contract with Red Queen Media ended recently and YG’s saying they ended everything peacefully.

YG cannot understand why Red Queen Media has stated . Also YG’s saying that they’ve never received an offer for Se7en to work with Justin Timberlake. Se7en is not planning on doing any activities in Korea this year either.

Also Red Queen Media failed to fulfill all the contract details; the contract term’s over so YG didn’t renew the contract.

SOS: ygworld
-----------------------

There has been a post quoting Red Queen Media that Se7en will have no other American activities, criticising YG Entertainment on Se7en’s American advance posted up on Allkpop on 9th July.

YG Entertainment said, “We contacted Red Queen Media, and have confirmed that whatever was stated was not the official stand of the company. And also about Se7en working with Justin Timberlake, this is the first time we are hearing about it.”

The content to the post on Allkpop wrote:

Red Queen Media stated

“Things were looking great for Se7en. Johnny Wright was going to co-manage his career, we setup deals for Se7en to record a collaboration with Justin Timberlake. We even had Se7en scheduled to sing the national anthem live at an upcoming Dodgers game, as well as present an award at the BET Awards show.

It’s really disheartening, we really felt Se7en was the best candidate to represent Asians in the US. We truly believed he would’ve been the first to break through the US market, especially with all of the collaborations and events we had lined up. It’s unfortunate that YG Entertainment turned down all of these opportunities, but we are still hoping for the best and that they come to the realization of how important this is for Se7en’s career.”


YG also said, “Se7en has worked on preparing for the American advance for 2 years, there is no way he will stop his American advance now.”

YG has also stated that the reason for Se7en’s return to Korea a while back is to settle personal issues, and have nothing to do with this rumours going around.

YG has expressed their response to this rumour as being ‘absurd’. There also also rumours saying that with this event, there has been much friction between Red Queen Media and YG Entertainment.

The barrage of cyber attacks that targeted dozens of South Korean and U.S. Web sites took a new twist Friday as the malicious codes that broke into tens of thousands of local personal computers started wiping hard drives.

The Korea Communications Commission (KCC), the nation's telecom regulator, said more than 350 computers were reported damaged as of Friday, but warned that the number could quickly rise since up to 50,000 have been contaminated by the latest wave of cyber attacks.

Leading virus vaccine provider AhnLab and the KCC said affected computers will not be able to boot up and their files saved on their hard disk drives will be destroyed.

"It is crucial that computer owners download vaccine programs as a protective measure, even if their computers haven't been infected,"
said Park Chul-soon, a KCC official, who downplayed the possibility of another round of intrusions following the three-day long attack.

Three dozen local Web sites, including those of Cheong Wa Dae, the National Assembly, the Ministry of National Defense, leading online shopping mall Auction, and top Internet portals Daum and Naver, as well as Kookmin, Shinhan and Korea Exchange banks, have been knocked out by hackers, who have yet to be identified.

The country's spy agency said Friday attackers used IP addresses from 19 countries amid suspicions that North Korea had orchestrated the cyber outages. However, the culprit hasn't been pinpointed.

Miss Korea 2009 Kim Joo-ri

Kim Joo-ri, crowned Miss Korea 2009 Wednesday, has become the latest Internet phenomenon, garnering the most hits on the search engine Web site Naver and sparking a surge of fan-based communities.


Her Web site attracted more than 12,000 new visitors only a day after the pageant ended.

Fans are proclaiming Kim, a graduate of the Russian Bolshoi Ballet Academy, to be the perfect, overachieving daughter that all mothers wish they could claim as their own.

"Eom-chin-ttal," or "mother's friend's daughter,"
is a term used to describe a prodigal child who can do no wrong ― a child who is beautiful, intelligent and kind-hearted. It is typical in Korean culture for mothers to boast about the many accomplishments of their children in an attempt to outdo their friends and neighbors.

But mothers will come home to scold their own children into motivation by relaying tales of how others are achieving more. The "eom-chin-ttal" is the individual who sets the standard for all comparisons ― the best of the best, the one a mother is always comparing with her own child.

Director-actor Yang Ik-june in a scene from "Breathless"

Multiple award-winning film "Breathless" picked up yet another honor at the New York Asian Film Festival, Jin Jin Pictures announced Thursday. Director-actor-producer Yang Ik-june won the jury award for Best Debut Feature ― the film’s 13th award from 10 international film events.

"One of the festival’s real finds is the South Korean film 'Breathless,' a closely observed drama written, produced and co-directed by its star, the vividly talented Yang Ik-june," said The New York Times
about the New York Asian Film Festival in its June 18 edition.

Breathless, based on a semi-autobiographical script by Yang, is about a victim of domestic violence who grows up to become an aggressive brute. But light shines brightest in darkness, and he rediscovers hope when he meets a high school girl (Kim Kkobbi) who is even more hardball than he is.

South Korea will become the most aged society among advanced economies in 2050, with nearly four out of every 10 Koreans being aged 65 or over due to low birthrates and the rapidly aging population.

The nation's population is expected to begin declining from 2018 and by 2050, there will be 6.41 million fewer people in the country than now.

According to the National Statistical Office (NSO) Friday, people over 65 years of age will account for 38.2 percent of Korea's population in 2050, making it the most aged society among the 30 member economies of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).


The nation currently ranks 27th in the population-aging index among the OECD countries, with 11 percent of its population aged 65 or older. Japan tops the list with 22.6 percent, followed by Germany with 20.5 percent and Italy with 20.4 percent.

Police concluded Friday that a former talent agency chief assaulted, threatened and coerced a late actress, who committed suicide after accusing him of abusing her, to serve men at drinking parties as it turned the case over to the prosecution, according to Yonhap News.

Identified only by his surname of Kim, the 39-year-old suspect was arrested three days after being extradited from Japan on Monday. He had been hiding in Japan since December last year, prolonging his stay while attempting to flee to another country.

Jang Ja-yeon, 30, hanged herself at her house in Bundang, southern Seoul, on March 7, leaving a suicide note that accused her former agent of forcing her to attend drinking parties and to provide sexual favors to high-profile entertainment figures and journalists.

South Korean figure skating sensation Kim Yu-na has been awkwardly caught in the middle of a row between zealous fans and the organizers of an upcoming ice show, according to Yonhap News.

Kim's admirers, who often equate her to a "fairy" or "queen," insist that the other skaters headlining at the event do not match up to her caliber.

The 18-year-old has become an icon since winning her country's first ever World Championship gold medal in March. Whatever she wears becomes a must-have for fashionistas, and whatever she advertises marks record sales growth.

Previous ice shows featuring Kim have drawn massive crowds here. One such event in April also featured Olympic gold medalist Shizuka Arakawa, former world champion Stephane Lambiel and current U.S. figure skating champion Jeremy Abbot.

Even stacked next to such stars, Kim was highlighted as the main attraction.

But the ice show at the center of the current uproar, which has played out in fiery postings on Internet message boards, has Kim sharing the spotlight with lesser-known talents. It is scheduled for Aug. 14-16 in Seoul.

Kim's agency, IB Sports, has been bombarded by calls demanding it upgrade the other performers and change the photograph on its official Web site to make it clear that Kim will be the headliner.

With the fresh releases of their solo comeback teasers and their new track "Candy Man", as well as its music video teaser, there sure seems to be a lot of brown eyed business going around.

The Brown Eyed Girls have released their fifth solo comeback teaser for another one of their old songs "My Style", this time featuring just the stunning quartet's Jo Miryo. Up until now, the background music for their solo teasers have been their old songs "Oasis", "L.O.V.E.", "You", and "어쩌다 (How Come)". Having used five out of seven tracks from their 2nd album, there is speculation that the girls will be releasing another two solo teasers for the last two tracks, "Hold the Line" and "Second" of their 2nd album.

While the fourth teaser included both Miryo and Narsha, this fifth teaser includes just Miryo with a few back shots of the rest of the girls. While we have seen most of this footage of Miryo in their Candy Man MV teaser, it never hurts to check out her pretty face again.
