No Donghae because he was sick. :(

In a nutshell: they are very thankful over the fact that their Taiwan fanmeeting tickets sold in out in an hour, Kyuhyun would like for SJ-M to open for A-Mei, they are still making fun of Zhou Mi because the boy over has powder foundation in his murse not matter what, Han Geng is still saying Henry doesn't like to shower, and Henry is being awesomely revengeful by revealing that Han Geng drools when he sleeps all the time, even in the car.

I love all the recent SJ-M interviews because Zhou Mi and Henry have begun to speak out more! Henry seems way more confident (his Mandarin has improved a lot in such short amount of time) and I love how he's continuously picking on Han Geng, lmao. He's becoming a Kyuhyun pt. 2! And Zhou Mi slaps are the best thing ever, ok?

Good luck in Taiwan, boys!

Ever since their debut, BEAST has been performing their title-song Bad Girl from their first mini-album Beast Is The B2ST.

Well, it looks like they are now going to change things up as they will be performing their follow-up track, Mystery, on this week's Inkigayo! I am expecting a new atmosphere from BEAST as Mystery has quite a different feel.

Will they rock the stage well with Mystery? Stay tuned to allkpop this Sunday to find out!

Considering the recent slump in the Korean movie industry, it was a pretty good year for films, with several big hits breaking box office records, like Haeundae and Take Off, both of which amassed a number of nominations. It was also a good year for the smaller, indie movie, with awards being given to actors of Breathless, and both Kim Myung-min and Ha Ji-won pulling in top acting honors for their performances in My Love By My Side (aka Closer to Haeven).

WINNERS )

Reporting from Seoul - For nearly two decades, obstetrician Shim Sang-duk aborted as many babies as he delivered -- on average, one a day, month after month.

"Over time, I became emotionless," the physician said. "I came to see the results of my work as just a chunk of blood. During the operation, I felt the same as though I was treating scars or curing diseases."

Shim, 42, eventually came to despise himself, despite the money he earned from the procedures. So, two months ago, he founded an activist group of physicians who refuse to perform abortions and advocate prosecution for doctors who continue to do so.

The group's stand has brought a tidal wave of criticism from the Korean Assn. of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which represents more than 4,000 physicians in this country where abortions, although technically illegal, are so prevalent it has been tagged as "the Abortion Republic."

Unlike in America, where doctors have been threatened and even killed for performing abortions, Shim says he's received death threats for deciding to stop performing them.

Economic activity inside North Korea has reportedly ground to a halt following a government announcement that it is devaluing its currency at a rate of 100:1.
There were reports of public outrage and confusion after the announcement of the measure, which requires North Koreans to swap existing won notes for new ones at an exchange rate of one to 100 — effectively knocking two zeroes off their value. Because of a cap of 100,000 won per family (£475 at the official exchange rate), anyone with significant holdings of cash will have their savings wiped out.
The move is seen as an effort to quash small businesses and private enterprises which have proliferated in the unofficial economy. As many as 30,000 vendors are believed to operate in a market outside the capital, Pyongyang, and many of them had accumulated substantial cash reserves. This move effectively confiscates that cash.
Analysts do not foresee any direct economic repercussions outside the country, but it does serve as a reminder that many other world currencies are, like the North Korean won, “fiat money”.

The biggest pop star of Asia knows in a confusing manner to persuade people of his role as a ruthless killer.

It's surprising that a movie so bloody and violent as Ninja Assassin can be so boring. After a quick explosion of extreme action the movie slows down a little bit to expand the plot in a slow pace. Uncountable shots of Raizo (played by the South Korean pop star Rain) who's training in his apartment are switched with scenes of cop Mika (Naomie Harris), who is investigating a couple of murders. The audience in the mean time is waiting desperately for the return of bloody scenes. Luckily Ninja Assassin knows how to deliver those passages in a perfect manner, with impressive graphic shots and lost limbs that are flying across the screen and fountains of blood that spray from dying bodies.

Still this doesn't always make up for the long scenes with boring material.

As the star of the movie Rain is a curious choice. His mostly wordless Raizo is impressively deadly with his body, but during quiet moments with his fellow actress Harris is Rain often too sweet, to much fun. This often is so bad that it's hard to compare this character with the deadly assassin from other scenes. A bit confusing, but Rain's acting performances during the movie are definitely not to blame.

The biggest pop star from Asia shows that he has a bright future in Hollywood ahead of him.

Henry: Shhh shh shh.

Geng: We hope that someday we might be able to go to Singapore and meet with all of you--
Zhou Mi: After we finish recording the first thing we'll do is tell our manager that we wanted to go to Singapore. Wait for us!

In April, Younha released Part A of her third album, Peace Love & Ice Cream, and now she's closing the year with the second chapter, Part B: Growing Up. The album title is fitting for the popular singer who just turned 21 this year, but is already celebrating her fifth anniversary as a singer. Younha's latest release confirms not only her talents as a singer, but also her great potential as a songwriter.

Younha wrote and composed three of the album's seven songs, and collaborated with composer You Hee Yeol (Toy) as well as ballad king Kim Bum Soo and diva Hwayobi. Younha teams up with You Hee Yeol to create "Go at Ease" (Track 4), and duets with Kim Bum Soo for "Things I Understand After Breakup" (Track 5). Hwayobi penned the emotional lyrics about the pain of parting for Younha's winter piano ballad "Broke Up Today" (Track 2). Growing Up also includes the feel-good rock pop piece "Like" (Track 3), the modern rock number Say Something, and the New Age-style "22nd Street" (Track 7).

Tracklist under the cut! )

So my speculations were correct. I've been watching out for Jinwan and Donggeun since they joined XE as trainees but they were listed as actor/models so I has no idea they'd end up in XING. I should warn you that Jinwan is 14 (and 180 cm) and Donggeun is 17 (178 cm). Other ages are unknown atm~

lol great now we have a Jihwan and a Jinwan. And they look alike.

Netizens have been left confused, speculating if the user posting rude comments and posts spreading rumors on the Wonder Girls' fan-cafe back when Hyuna had decided to withdrawal and dropped out of the Wonder Girls are really posts made by the real 4minute Ji Yoon.

Netizens have gone back in time and dug up several posts by the member with the name of, "ㄱr수도l는날v," who has posted harmful comments towards Hyuna in the past after she had dropped out of the Wonder Girls. What leads the netizens to believe this is Ji Yoon, is that the name used by that specific member, is the exact same name JiYoon used in 4minute's online chatting session with 4nia back in August.
