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.

Bae Soo-bin, from Shining Inheritance, was featured in Andre Kim's latest fashion show. The show was held on the evening of September 15 under the title "Starry Night in the Palace." (I suppose the opulent designs are supposed to evoke royal imagery, but really, it’s not new to this show; we’ve all seen this before.) The show featured, aside from Bae, actress Jang Seo-hee (Wife’s Temptation).

Brown Eyed Girls rake in the Green

Well, actually, the Won (Korea’s currency) is minted in an array of colors, but the point is the BEG won’t need to beg for moolah no more because they are finally hearing the wondrous KPop Ka-Ching!
Precisely due to all the disgust/discussion over their latest hit, “Abracadabra,” the ferocious femme fatale foursome have earned roughly 8.25 million dollars thus far. This amount includes all the sales activity from online downloads, album sales, and ring tones etc. over the past three months. The total revenue is still expected to increase steadily.
Why is this a big deal? Because BEG is not managed by SM, YG, nor JYP, and the fact this group is now considered to belong in the highly coveted Idol Group category despite this “setback” is substantial. BEG’s official representative lamented how difficult it was to market their group in the face of these Three adversities, but they are extremely proud that the song + music video spoke for themselves. And the masses are clearly taking notice…by opening up their designer knock-off(ed) wallets.

Their SoundG album is amazing. Abracadabra promotions gave them the audience they deserved.
Congrats BEG! :D

I am a parent of someone that is close to Jaybum's age. Watching what has been happening these past few days, I have built up some confidence to say a few words.
I have been business partners with Jaybum's dad in Seattle and am a Korean-America who has been living here for 30 years. I have known Jaybum since he was a little kid and have watched him grow throughout the years. Also my kids have been going to school with him since pre-school and so they are quite close. Thus, I think I know a lot about Jaybum's family.
Jaybum's house in Seattle is near a beach called Edmonds and is in a prospective middle-class neighborhood. This house has been built for 40 years, but Jaybum has lived here ever since he was born for over 20 years.
In the parking lot aren't BMW's and Lexus's, but rather there are cars that are about 5-10 years old. Just recently they just leased a car from Hyundai Dealershop for an Elantra, but after Jaybum's situation, they had to return it.
In their house is a 37 inch Sony TV that has been there for 10 years. All the computers in their house are very old and about to break, and the best computer they have is a notebook that a fan had bought for Jaybum.
The reason i am telling you all this is because I wanted to show you how Jaybum's family life style is not fake nor ostentatious, but rather humble and normal for a middle-class family.

I asked him "Jaybum, do you wanna go back to Korea?"
"yes..but i'm not sure."

Lee Young-ae Talks on Marriage
2009-09-16 02:00 pm
Actress Lee Young-ae
Actress Lee Young-ae expressed her position about her secret marriage to a businessman Tuesday for the first time since she returned home following their wedding last month at a resort in Hawaii.
At a 10-minute or so briefing to a throng of reporters who gathered at Hanyang University, she said her marriage does not necessarily mean an end to acting, though she declined to be specific about her future plans. Lee is taking a doctoral course at Hanyang University's Graduate School of Theater and Cinema this semester.
"I hope my fans understand (the marriage) as there are diverse forms of marriages though I'm sorry to my fans who love me. I just wanted to make it quietly," Lee said. "What's most important for now is to be faithful to marriage life."

"The school records showed that Kim had claimed top places during the entire three years, with perfect scores in all subjects at the school. It's unbelievable," an MBC staff member said.

The Korean-American singer established Onpoint Entertainment with Lee Joo-hong, who has been working as a manager for the group, the statement said.
"Our relationship is one that is not as an agency versus an artist but as family-like companions", explained Lee, now president of Onpoint. "I will do my best to support [Brian]".
Lee went on to say, "We have signed an overseas record distribution and a promotion deal with Sony Music. We are set to take off preparations to make a debut in the Asian market, such as in Japan and China, and particularly the U.S."

Epik High released their 6th album titled [e] earlier today. And they don't hesitate when it comes to promoting their music. The first single from [e] is titled "Wannabe" and they performed it for the very first time on MBC's Music Travel La La La program. This wasn't the only track they performed from the [e] as they performed "Heaven" along with MYK and his guitar. Epik High also performed their past hits "Fly" and "Fan."
I believe this was the first album that Epik High produced on their own without the help of legendary Korean hip hop producer Pe2ny, so I was interested in how it would turn out. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the album yet but from what I've heard thus far, both Wannabe and Heaven are outstanding tracks. I'm pretty sure the whole album is going to be equally amazing when I sit down and get a chance to take it all in. Epik High always bring freshness to my ears and I love them, they're simply Epic.

Random Netizen: “2PM’s TaecYeon has a naive side?!?”
Well, looks like he did, and the pictures / screen shots of his innocent image are topping the Korea’s search engines.
Before TaecYeon debuted as a 2PM member, he had shown his face before through Baskin Robins and Snickers commercials. Many netizens were shocked to see TaecYeon with such an innocent image in the Snickers CF filmed back in 2008. The netizens commented that it was rare to see TaekYeon without the short hair and the charismatic look.

“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.
( “At one time, I wanted to leave Super Junior” )
Via Star News
Translated article from DramaBeans
Really, I am so proud of Heechul and them. So proud of this oversized Korean boyband named Super Junior. They've come very far, and they've really proven themselves to us. From performing onstage as singers and dancers, to MCs, DJs, acting, gags, and musicals; They've really covered so many entertainment areas and have done remarkably well in all. :) Super Junior hwaiting! ♥

2009 has already been a dismal year for online storage providers and peer-to-peer (P2P) sites, which were heavily blitzed by government efforts to suppress piracy. Now, it's apparent that they will get no love from porn producers either.
Frustrated by what they saw as foot-dragging by South Korean law enforcement authorities, a group of 50 U.S. and Japanese porn producers said they would go after some 65,000 Korean Internet users and Web companies for illegally uploading their videos on file-sharing sites and gaining profit from them.
This is an expansion from the 10,000 Koreans named in the first lawsuit of the porn makers that was revealed in July.
About 70 online storage firms and peer-to-peer sites are targeted in the latest lawsuit, according to the legal representatives of the porn makers, who didn't reveal the names of the companies. However, it's easy to guess from the number that most of the major file-sharing sites are being targeted.

New developments on Super Junior Kangin's assault case have been revealed!
As of now, Kangin as well as 3 others are under investigation to see who was involved in the fight. Kangin had claimed that he was a victim. He stated that he did not hit anyone, and instead, that he had just taken hits.
Unfortunately, or fortunately for Kangin, a nearby CCTV camera is said to have captured footage on the night of September 16th, when the fight broke out. Although the contents have not yet been revealed, this evidence will be a huge determining factor and has just opened up a whole new can of worms.
Is Kangin innocent or was he serving some major ass kicking?
source: allkpop

source: kbites
KangIn pleaded innocent telling the people who were investigating that he showed no act of violence.
However looks like the officials in charge of this case in KangNam police station declared that KangIn might not be 100% true. Then where does this leave KangIn, Super Junior, and their activities?
KangIn was caught between a mess when there ended up being violence in the pub where he was drinking. Everything was well when KangInpleaded that he was innocent declaring that he had been victim throughout while the violent act was occurring. However, the four men who were taken into custody declared that KangInhad been there also displaying violence leaving the police officers to find out the truth. according to the police officers, KangIn’s charges are also being concerned as well.
Then, where does this leave KangIn and Super Junior? SM Entertainment strongly emphasized the point that KangIn was not involved in the assault case. This leads to the Asia Song Festival 2009. Super Junior had been confirmed to be at the ASF, however, According to one official, it seems as this is going to be a difficult task to fulfill with KangIn’s case occuring.
The officials at the Asia Song Festival said, “So far we have not heard about the case through the SM Entertainment’s point. Currently we have no changes in the stars to appear. Even for the press conference, everything well go as it was planned.” However, the stars should know that going on stage is hard after a serious issue like KangIn’s.

Actresses Oh Yun-soo, left, and Hwang Ci-ne attest to middle-age power in the new drama "The Queen Returns."
Experience is speaking volubly on the small screen these days, as former teen stars and now middle-aged veteran actors have made comebacks.
Local dramas have been favored ― and criticized ― for pretty but inexperienced new faces depicting love triangles and romantic stories. However, many female viewers in their late 20s, 30s and 40s have noticed the charms of the realistic world of politics, both office and real life, portrayed by older actors who may not be young and fresh, but have the charisma and experience to lead.

Who's your favorite veteran actor/actress?

The last episode of Mnet Scandal was quite scandalous with all the skinship that Jonghun of FT Island had with his pretty date.
Will the next guest be able to cause as much heat and fire as they did on the last episode?
Coming up next will be Baek Ji Young. With the teaser photos that Mnet has released, we can barely see the face of the guy- but it looks like it will be another noona and dongseng relationship.

Andre Kim drops Kangin
2009-09-16 10:01 pm
With Kangin currently under investigation for his involvement in an assault case on the 16th, his schedules are now being cancelled one after another.
Kangin was originally scheduled to walk down the runway with Miss Korea 2009, Kim Joo Ri, modeling for Andre Kim’s Gangnam Fashion Festival collection on 22nd September at the COEX Piano Fountain Square. But with Kangin's involvement in the assault case, he has now been dropped from the show.
A spokesperson for Andre Kim revealed on the 17th, "Because of Kangin's involvement in a recent police case, we have decided to drop him from the show. We are now looking for someone to replace him and have yet to find a replacement."
With Super Junior scheduled to perform at the 2009 Asia Song Festival on 19th September, Kangin's involvement is now in doubt with no statements from SM Entertainment at the moment. Kangin has strongly maintained his innocence throughout the investigations and fans are hoping for a favourable outcome for their idol.

Inkigayo to Adopt Guest MCs System
2009-09-16 10:49 pmRemember the news we reported earlier in the week about 2PM members, Taecyeon and Wooyoung possibly leaving their MCs position on Inkigayo? A decision has been made today by the producers of Inkigayo and you can say that it's good and bad in a way for 2PM fans.
The good news is that the Inkigayo team will not find a replacement for Taecyeon and Wooyoung. The bad news is that Taecyeon and Wooyoung will be taking a temporary leave of absence, meaning that the 13th September episode of Inkigayo will be their last appearance for a long while.
In the aftermath of the Jaebeom incident, it was decided that it would be better for Taecyeon and Wooyoung to take time off and relieve the stress and pressure that comes with hosting Inkigayo and having to deal with what has happened off the stage at the same time. But the MC positions on Inkigayo will always be left open for Taecyeon and Wooyoung to return to once everything has been cleared up.
With Taecyeon and Wooyoung away, actress Ha Yeon Joo will remain as the MC and she will be partnered by rotating guest MCs which will be decided on a weekly basis, starting from this week's Inkigayo on the 20th of September.
