Taeyeon's Teleport "So Cute"

[wrongbyright.livejournal.com]

On November 21st, she uploaded an image of her instant transportation onto the official website of MBC FM4U 'Taeyeon's Chinhan Chingoo.'

In the concept of 'high school horror' she took eight consecutive pictures
and made a flash file out of it. Her expressionless face first frightens the audience
but lastly shows her queer smile.

Taeyeon kindly reminded, "Is there no one to hold onto while you're cold?
Were your exams results not as good as you expected?
Annoyed that you are on a night shift again? Come and listen to 'Taeyeon's Chin Chin'"

Many viewers of the photo commented "Aww, she's so cute.
Taeyeon swept all of my sorrow, troubles and irritation away",
"I want to play teleport with Taeyeon as well!"

queer smile indeed. XD

SJ-M leader Han Geng donated most of his income last year to the victims of the Sichuan earthquake

[proleptical.livejournal.com]

Some SJ-M leader love! ♥ It's a fan article, hence the slightly exaggerated title, but it's about the donations he made last year to the victims of the Sichuan earthquake. It's a very nice read, and I thought I should share it.

Han Geng, The Poorest Star in China



A couple of weeks ago one comment written by one Geng fan grasped my attention.

"About income, I once worried about this too.

It was reported that he earned only 1.8 million RMB last year!

My god, with his popularity and his workload, in Hong Kong he would have earned tens of millions.

That’s why he’s called the poorest star in China.

But when I heard that he donated almost all of his yearly income to the victims of Sichuan earthquake, I thought why should I worry.

Obviously, money isn’t that important to this guy.

If he earns more money, he would have given it to his mother to open another dumpling shop.

And his mother would work harder and earn more money!

Look how happy he is recently (you can see how naughty he has been in his cy)!

Isn’t that enough?

Then I felt so good! All the money in the world can’t buy you a heart of gold! I’m glad I can see it!"

Daul Kim’s company reveals suicide as cause of death

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

The company of late top model Daul Kim speaks up officially about her death.

Kim SoYeon, representative of Esteem Model, said on 24th November, “Kim Daul has hung herself at her home in France Paris on 19th November.”

“Her body was found at local time 9.30am on 19th November, we cannot confirm the time of death. A memorial will be held for her on 23rd November by family and friends.”

And about the reasons for Daul Kim’s suicide, the representative said, “This girl has started out modelling at a very young age, and she felt the intense anxiety and uneasiness about the rest of her life. In addition, she was not able to live the normal life like any girls at her age. We suspect that she had felt confused and lost, after experiencing the difference in anticipation before and after she has reached the top of her career.”

“The reason why we did not come out to announce her death officially is that we do not want to further cause hurt to her soul.”

"This performance was for you, noona"

"This performance was for you, nuna"

On the 2nd, 2PM performed at KBS's 30th Blue Dragon Movie Awards ceremony and gave a special performance. Member Taecyeon's clothes ripping ending revealed his abs and made the hearts of many women in the audience flutter. It has also been revealed that his "abs performance" was especially for actress ha Jiwon.

Taecyeon has always listed Ha Jiwon as his ideal girl. Before the Blue Dragon Awards, Taecyeon discussed his plan with Brown Eyed Girls' GaIn. She told him to "show her your heart by showing her your abs." GaIn had already been an acquaintance with Ha Jiwon after starring in the movie "The Love By My Side" with her. GaIn delivered this plan to Ha Jiwon through phone before the awards.

The original plan was for Taecyeon to leave the stage at the ending of 'Heartbeat' and to rip his clothes in front of Ha Jiwon while Ha Jiwon then lightly pokes his abs. Unfortunately, the ceremony was broadcasted live and Taecyeon had to make do with just showing her his abs from stage.

Jang Geun Suk's message on YB message board

[sparkskey.livejournal.com]

2009.11.24 15:35:44

Hello viewers of You're Beautiful, I'm Jang Geun Suk playing Hwang Taekyung.
I usually only leave one message on the message boards per drama I film so this is the first time I've left 2 messages on any official message board ^^
Actually I decided to leave this message during my short break during filming in Ilsan today

I'm writing to express my infinite gratitude and apologies regarding the AN Jell mini concert yesterday
(As part of the staff, I heard that there were many complaints about the concert so I went online to see what the fuss was about and got a shock)

Does everyone know that You're Beautiful is still running on the same tight filming schedule as it was from the very beginning?
This is going to be an especially tiring week for me since I've got many scenes in the last 2 episodes T_T (I appear in nearly every scene..)
Thats why we didn't have time to meticulously prepare for such a large scale concert like yesterday's

Far more people than expected turned up at the concert venue (I heard that about 2500 people turned out?)
The staff were getting flustered and we, AN Jell were really surprised.
We should have planned more thoroughly for the sake of everyone's safety and I apologize on behalf of the staff and AN Jell for not doing so
(Bows)

t/n: due to some problems, filming and the time for fans to enter the concert venue was delayed

We need a dong bang positive post, right? And as welcome for their upcoming events TOGETHER in Japan, I think omona should see this video.

It's long, I know. But it's really worth it. You will see them from the scratch as nothing in Japan until their position right now (who snatched 2nd position of yahoo japan search ranking just below Arashi)

Full of cracks, granted. Your favorite couples' moments, granted. Need more teasers to see this? How about you will see them as morning news announcers here? They messed around with rookie announcer? Jaejoong was prepared to release missiles? This video is a million times better than HIJ4. It's funny, yet still full of meaning, I think it's the best thing that explained their history in Japan and it shows how Japan won't let them down for now.
