SNSD's Jessica tossed around by her members?

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

We all know and love SNSD / Girls' Generation and all its members but is there more to them than meets the eye? SNSD's blondie Jessica looks like a lively peppy energetic sexy girl on stage but it seems she just might be quite the opposite in the bedroom... and no pervs, I'm not talking about that.

Jessica revealed on KBS 2TV's "Happy Together" that when she sleeps she practically hibernates saying, "My fellow members have once grabbed and thrown me before. I was so deep in sleep that nothing would wake me up and so they resorted to throwing me." She also added, "Even that isn't enough to wake me up. If I sleep, 12 hours is the norm and I've slept beyond that too."

Not only is she quite the sleepyhead but she also revealed that she frequently worries the group too. "They once filed a missing report because of me. I was just at the salon getting my hair done and preparing my schedule but my manager and the other members looked for me for 2 hours."

But it's not too surprising is it? After all, who wouldn't freak out if a girl like her disappeared, even for a minute?

The episode will also feature singer PSY and is scheduled to air on December 3rd.

Support for Unwed Moms Suggested

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

A group of pro-life activists called on policymakers Thursday to support single mothers, saying that discrimination and bias against them leads some to opt for abortion.

They recommended that the government set up funds and other supportive measures for single moms in order to reduce the number of abortions.

A 2005 survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Family Affairs found that 96 percent of unwed women who chose abortion did so due to social discrimination and monetary reasons.

Choi An-na, an obstetrician and gynecologist representing a group of concerned doctors, said now was the time for the government to intervene in the widespread practice of abortion, pointing out that around 1,000 abortions are being carried out daily.

Selection of Highschooler for Glamour Model Causes Stir

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

The decision to cast an 18 year old high school girl to appear in a collection of sexually-suggestive photographs has caused a dispute on the Internet over the suitability of using a teenager in these images.

Applemilk Communications (www.hellokind.co.kr), a publisher well-known for collections of photos of amateur models, announced Monday that it has selected Choi Eun-jung, a high school junior, as one of two models who will be featured in the third edition of its "Kind Glamour" photo series.

Choi, born in 1991, is already a rising star among Web sites running online photo galleries for her glamorous physique and pretty face, with her mini-homepage attracting over 1,000 visitors daily. Choi is also an accomplished musician playing the piano, violin and several other musical instruments, according to Applemilk Communications.

Kang Ho Dong is in love with Lee Seung Gi?

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

All I can say is, deja vu much?

On various internet portal sites, 'Kang Ho Dong's Seung Gi love' has been rising as one of the most searched terms online. Netizens' persistent investigation has not left them empty-handed either as they discovered numerous photos of the pairing online. Screenshots of Kang Ho Dong and Lee Seung Gi embracing each other, sleeping with next to each other (just to be safe from Pedobear) and feeding each other left viewers laughing and moved.

The two have developed a close friendship ever since KBS2TV '1 Night 2 Days' aired, where Kang Ho Dong and Lee Seung Gi are cast members. Now, they even host a show together, called SBS 'Strong Heart,' which has been well-received by viewers.

Netizens have commented on the blossoming relationship between the wrestling pro and the idol singer:

"Kang Ho Dong really treats Lee Seung Gi well.. They seem so close on 'Strong Heart.' It's heartwarming"
"I wish I had a hyung who could take care of me like that"
"Like papa bear and baby bear..."



Both of them are very talented in their own respective fields, but also have a knack for MC-ing and keeping people entertained. Aside from the fact that Kang Ho Dong is a married man and has a kid, I totally ship this pair. Cue the Kang Ho Dong - Lee Seung Gi fanfics!

Super Junior, 32,000 fans swarm to the Thailand concert

[dreamsbytheedge.livejournal.com]

13 membered Super Junior together with 32,000 fans have held a unprecedented grand occasion for their Thailand concert.

On the 30th, SM Entertainment, which Super Junior belongs to, expressed, "On the 28th & 29th Super Junior held their Super Junior 2nd Asia Concert Tour, Super Show 2 in the largest Bangkok arena, the Impact. After their concerts in Seoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai, we've held a large-scale concert together with 32,000 fans."

SM Entertainment emphasized, "especially since this time the concert tickets were available to book online, but on the day before the tickets were officially available, over 5,000 fans queued up overnight to purchase the tickets," they then added, "on the same day that the tickets were available, it was sold out."

One of the employees of the Thailand concert event said, "the reason why there was a pre-sale of tickets available onlinewas due to the fact that in Super Junior's previous concert, the servers crashed when there were too many fans, that's why this time we had pre-sale tickets for the concert," "to buy tickets on via the Thai website, on the day before over 5,000 fans queued up & waited, which is the first for a concert," showing Super Junior's enormous popularity.

On the other hand, Super Junior will continue with their Asia Concert on the 12th of December at Nanjing, China, 23rd January 2010 in Beijing, China, 30th January in Guangzhou, & 20th February in Taipei, Taiwan.

( Click for the other CF + the making of )

To clarify: in TOP's CF, he is telling her which features of her face he likes best through numbers (since the transparent keypad and her facial features match up) and he ~makes them meet~ by kissing her #6 (her face) and then at the very end, #0 (her lips). In GD's, YB and Seungri ask why GD has a transparent phone and he says it's because he doesn't want to hide his pretty face, which make YB and Seungri cringe.

Universal Music Group investigating I Don't Care

"Still, it was not without its controversy. A south-Korean girl group called 2NE1 claimed Richie’s title track “Just Go” was a bit too similar to their earlier release “I Don’t Care.” Though Richie hasn’t discussed the claim, Universal Music Group is investigating."

results of kangin's indictment

[lotsoflov-e.livejournal.com]

It was revealed today that Kangin's indictment was suspended.

To put it simply, the crown attorney of this case decided to not prosecute him for it. It still stays on the record and will be used against him in the future if he gets charged. Basically, if he gets charged for another crime, his punishment will increase for causing trouble way too many times. This means that Kangin is off the hook for the bar fight but his punishment for hit-and-run will most likely increase because he was not punished for the fight.

The hit-and-run case is still being processed by the crown attorney's office.

[jyurian21.livejournal.com]

Three of Korea's most amazing artists came together recently to do a cover of 2NE1's I Don't Care and you better care, because it's pretty freaking awesome.

I've always been a huge fan of Bobby Kim, with his unique style and distinct voice, he's a perfect fit for this track. As for Kim Bum Soo and Wheesung, it should go without saying that they pretty much own, although I haven't been feeling Wheesung's recent tracks. But anyway, enjoy the cover!
