LMFAO SM, GET YOUR SHIT READY

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

Seoul Central District Court officer revealed on August 26th that a representative of CREBEAU (위샵플러스) cosmetic company had filed lawsuit against SM Entertainment in charge of defamation issue on August 4th.

CREBEAU representative said, “The problem that is filed by 3 members who are also investors in our company is something to do with the unfair distribution income and to terminate the exclusive contract effect. However, SM keeps distorting the essence of the issue by saying that the main reason of their lawsuit is related to the cosmetic company. This is definitely a false representation and inflicts a serious libel to our company.”

DBSK's GROUP ACTIVITY SUSPENDED

[pat-ology.livejournal.com]

IT IS REPORTED THAT THE SOUTH KOREAN POP BAND DBSK WILL SUSPEND THEIR ACTIVITIES FOR THE TIME BEING

The group DBSK will temporarily suspend their activities. This has been reported simultaneously by all the main entertainment media in South Korea.

DBSK, whose members have filed a lawsuit against their management company, will complete all their planned schedules. However, all their schedules that have been planned before the lawsuit will come to an end on the 29th of this month, and they will have a period of time where their activities will come to a pause.

For the time being, TVXQ's last activity will be their performance at the open-air concert a-nation in Osaka, Japan, and they will take a break after that. Also, besides their scheduled concert in Shanghai, China, which will be held the following month, there will be no other group activities.

Also, with regards to the application for injunction to stop the exclusive contract (with their company) filed by some of the members, the ruling will be decided on the 11th of September. The ruling will have a large impact on their future activities as a group, which all the fans are concerned about.

In the meantime, one of the members, Yunho, will be making his acting debut in MBC's drama "Heading to the Ground".

4Minute banned from OMNTD. jk, rly KBS

[parkjinyoung.livejournal.com]

4Minute who will be releasing their first mini-album "For Muzik," on the 31st, has just been banned by KBS!

KBS has determined that 4Minute's track "I won't give (안줄래)," has inappropriate lyrics.

Specifically these lyrics (오늘부터 너 한테 나 안줄래/ 이제 다신 내 맘 전부 안줄래/ 이젠 다시 너한테는 안 줄래~):


"Starting from today, I don't want to give myself to you / Now I will never give you my entire heart / Now I don't ever want to give myself to you."


Cube Entertainment stated:

"The lyrics for 'I won't give' is about the pure feelings of a girl to a guy. We are very disappointed that the lyrics were deemed inappropriate."


Ouch! I personally don't think it's that bad, but it does have a slight sexual innuendo. Then again, everything has a slight sexual innuendo to me.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

SNSD's Seohyun stated that Sunny needs to stop acting cute.

In the recent broadcasting of SBS 'Intimate Note' which is to be aired on the 28th, Seohyun stated, "Many people think Sunny is the youngest member in the group because she tries to act cute all the time," and "I wish she would stop trying to act cute all the time."

Sunny replied, "Whenever Seohyun sees me eating fast food, she would approach me and tell me that I will die very quickly if I continue eating fast food," and laughed, "Well let's see how long Seohyun lives."

SNSD's honest and quick-witted testimonies will be aired on August 28th at 9:55pm.

2PM ASKS

[accidentplan.livejournal.com]

 Yes, you--the one sitting in front of the computer, constantly checking for 2PM updates and shamelessly rewatching Wild Bunny episodes. Listen up because your favorite dorky beasts have some questions they'd like you to answer.

In a recent interview with Nate News, the 2PM boys revealed that they were curious about three things and would like netizens to help clear things up. Their three questions were as follows:

1. "We've noticed the increasing love from fans. We're really thankful for all the love and support, but we would like to know WHY. What are 2PM's strong points as singers?"
--Junho

2. "2PM is always showing fans our real selves. But even so, fans still want to know our true characters. Why would they want to know about our private lives? We're just the way we're portrayed."
--Chansung

3. "Whenever I watch shows on tv, a lot of people say that they're fans of mine. But when I leave the office or attend fan events, not many people give me presents or seem excited to see me. Is that because I'm a difficult person to approach?"
--Nichkhun

Alright, fangirls and fanboys! Your turn. Answer away.

1. Gr8 music + Sexy dance + Pretty face
2. As craaaaazy fangirls/fanboys, we want to know everything. Everything~

Seohyun Doesn't Like Boys

[shepardlover.livejournal.com]

SNSD members disclosed personal information about Seohyun without hesitation.

In the recent recording of SBS 'Intimate Note' which is to be aired on the 28th, SNSD members agreed unanimously that Seohyun is like a "greenhouse flower" and continued to talk about her.

Taeyeon stated, "Seohyun does not like men. At her age, she should be interested and curious about that sort of stuff but she really isn't and that worries me." Sooyoung continued, "Seohyun is thoroughly self-managed. Even if our schedule is supposed to end at 3:00AM, she insists that she has to go to sleep by midnight to take good care of her skin."

Sooyoung continued, "At first I thought Seohyun was only joking. But she really does go to bed by herself at midnight." Hyoyeon also spoke about Seohyun's good habits, "Seohyun sets her alarm clock to 7:00AM and wakes up to it every morning. She wakes up at that time to read books while the others are still sleeping."

SNSD's honest and quick-witted testimonies will be aired on August 28th at 9:55PM.
