As promised, the title track for Wheesung's sixth album, Vocalate, now comes accompanied by a sweet music video.
With a title like "Trickling", you can imagine what the video is going to be like already...a bit depressing, probably with some kind of water - tears, rain - and maybe, just maybe, a bit of heartbreak. I would keep going on about it, but I don't want to ruin it for you ---
( so check it out! )

f(x) Shows SM Family Love
2009-10-13 02:03 amhp-eternalglory.livejournal.com
You may have noticed by now that rookie group f(x) love to be in front of the camera, whether they're performing on stage or just hanging out backstage. In the past, they have taken pictures with Korean groups and artists such as butt-shaking KARA and G.O.D. member Kim Tae Woo.
Now, the female five have some more buddies to add to their growing list, as a couple of fellow SM friends joined them in a photo that was updated on Sulli's me2day on the 13th. Super Junior's Kim Heechul and SHINEE are spotted in the picture, which was taken on the 10th at the 2009 Dream Concert.
Sulli wrote, "We took this picture at the waiting room of the Dream Concert with Heechul sunbaenim and SHINee sunbaenim. I gained a lot of strength from the support of Heechul sunbaenim, whom I really like. Hehe, just like Heechul sunbaenim said, I will become a nice Sulli who listens to leader Vic(toria) unni well~^^!"
She continued, expressing her support for the male quintet's comeback, "Also, 1st place is reserved for SHINee sunbaenim's "Ring Ding Dong"~!><"

Mithra Breaks Up with His Girlfriend
2009-10-13 09:07 amtheuncolored.livejournal.com
A streak of happiness has recently radiated over the group Epik High with Tablo & Tukutz proposing their marriage publicly in the past few weeks. With this trend going on, many netizens desperately awaited Mithra to be the next one to get hitched. Unfortunately (or fortunately for some of you fans), I guess he won't be able to join in the group of newlyweds much soon, because the rapper officially declared his breakup with his girlfriend. At the CGV Love Concert on the 10th, Tablo carefully spoke up about Mithra's renewed relationship current status as single.
Mithra showed his emptiness by expressing, "After sending both of my members away, I sent away my girlfriend as well. I got nothing by my side anymore."
Well this isn't the Mithra we know! The beasty Mithra we cheer for doesn't get so gloomy after a break-up, right?
Our favorite bear still showed his strength by adding, "Now, I got nothing but music. I will work even harder."
It must be hard for Mithra after parting with a girl he loved for more than four years. Ironically enough, this special concert was another breakup for the group as well. Don't worry, since it's only temporary until DJ Tukutz comes back from his army. Also, they showed their everlasting bond by promising to the audience that their seventh album would indeed come out after they regroup as three. I can't wait to see their new album coming out in.....2012!

2NE1's Sandara Park and After School's UEE will be guests on an upcoming episode SBS's Family Outing.
They haven't even filmed their episode yet but their appearance has been confirmed after the production team had invited them on. Jang Hyuk Jae PD said, "The two of them will come on the show. We will film sometime in this October (next week)."
Sandara Park has gone on only one variety show so far, SBS's Strong Heart (Kang Shim Jang), with her fellow 2NE1 members which will air on the 13th. But Family Outing will be the first time that Dara gets to be on a variety show alone. UEE on the other hand has a lot of variety show experience including We Got Married, Star King and more.
It was also announced that a new side of Sandara will be shown but we already know pretty much about her wacky personality through her regular me2Day updates. People are anticipating on what UEE and Sandara will bring to the show since this will be the first time that Family Outing has 2 women guests on at the same time.
Who's excited for this episode? I know I am. UEE doesn't seem to be stopping her busy schedule anytime soon and Sandara and her crazy self with newly recovered DaeSung? There's more to look forward to than Kang Shim Jang now!

I'm ready for the LOL session, Dara

This handout picture released by restaurant chain Waffletown USA shows workers posing at North Korea’s first fast food restaurant, Samtaesong (Three Big Stars), in Pyongyang.
A Singaporean entrepreneur has opened the first fast food restaurant in North Korea and he is already drawing up expansion plans just months after opening the first shop, AFP reported.
The first branch of "Samtaesong (Three Big Stars)" started operating in May in Pyongyang after Patrick Soh got the first license awarded to a foreign fast food outlet.
Soh, 56, holds the franchise in several Asian countries under the title of "Waffletown," a relatively obscure brand compared to the likes of McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut.

Lee Hongki laughed as he revealed that, “FT Island members cringed after watching the drama”.
At the filming set of SBS Wed-Thu drama “You’re Beautiful” on 13th afternoon, Lee Hongki said that, “I watched the first episode of the drama with our members. I was looking forward to it while feeling nervous at the same time. They read the script in advance so they’re anticipating it as well.”
He added that, “All of us cringed while watching the drama together. Though I couldn’t watch the second episode together with them due to filming, they text me saying ‘It’s really interesting and we’ve gotten used to all the cheesy scenes (smiles)’.”
“Actually I don’t have an idol image at all. I’m more of a happy-go-lucky person. 70% of Jeremy’s character is like my usual self. Though Jeremy is an idol in the drama, he shows his cheerful and crazy sides very often as well. I’m also like that in reality. I don’t feel the burden even if I were to film a salivating scene.”
Lee Hongki plays the role of Jeremy, member of the nation’s most popular band “A.N.JELL“, who has a cheerful and bright character.

A couple days ago, we reported that new girl quartet JQT would be having an online showcase. Well on the 12th, 9:00PM, in Seoul HongDae V Hall, they held their live concert for 300 lucky fans!
JQT's showcase was streamed live through Pandora TV and JQT's homepage, with 100,000 viewers who were watching this live stream. In the showcase, JQT sang their debut album tracks "I Fell For You" and "NONONO" as well as also busting out their own special and unique talents.
Special guests Namolla Family, which MC-ed the showcase, and Outsider, who performed "Loner" and "Youth's Confession," also fired up the stage, making the show a more exciting spectacle to watch.
One related source of JQT stated, "We did not ask of anything from JQT, as we wanted them to just show their relaxed and normal self. ... We also received a lot of comments [from viewers] that they felt a fresh feeling from their performances from the rookies. ... It looks like people are giving them lot of support, as well as getting more interested in JQT."
