The Wonder Girls to tour US in January!!!

[legens-legentis.livejournal.com]

Wonder Girls Launch Korean Music Invasion

The Wonder Girls, a five-member, all-girl band from South Korea, took the hit reality show “So You Think You Can Dance” by storm last night (Dec. 9) and may well launch the Korean invasion of U.S. pop music.

The oldest Yubin , 21, joined band in late-2007. Sunye (Sun) is the leader and Ye-eun (Yenny) is the group’s newest member. Both are 20 years old. At 17, Sunmi (Mimi) and Hyunah are the youngest members.

The band’s performance on last night’s show gave them their first exposure before a major U.S. audience, but they have already caught the attention of the music industry, including Dave Stewart, formerly of The Eurythmics.

Stewart is producing their first album, set for release in February.
The group is also planning to launch a headlining U.S. tour in January.

SS501 “Company contract ends in 6 months time.. No offer coming”



Group SS501 revealed frankly that their exclusive contract with their management company will end in 6 months time.

SS501 Kim HyunJoong, Kim HyungJoon, Park JungMin, Heo YoungSaeng, Kim KyuJong appeared in MBC ‘Radio Star’ a section off ‘Golden Fishery’ on 9-Dec, and spoke about “only 6 months left of the contract for all members”

“If the management company is not going to dump me, I want to continue to stay. Actually, they have not contacted me yet.” Leader Kim HyunJoong said making the others laugh. MC Shin JungHwan then joked “The scary thing about the company president is that he is ex-Taekwondo athlete”, making the studio drown with sea of laughter.

In that case, debuting in 2005, in 4 years time SS501 rise to the top of Hallyu star dominating Asia, what would be their condition for re-contract?

In this episode, Heo YoungSaeng who is the main vocal wants a ‘practice room’ as his re-contract condition. And Kim KyuJong said his wish “I like variety programs so I hope that there will be a variety program that all 5 members of SS501 can appear in”.

Kim HyunJoong said he hopes to hire professional bodyguards so that fans’ safely are more taken care of while Park JungMin wished for a better working environment for their managers.

Meanwhile, group’s magnae Kim HyungJoon said “I want to act in drama or go solo”, his surprising speech made the others burst out laughing.

wut wut in the butt: Han Ye-seul a possibility for Twilight sequel?

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

It is being reported (strategically leaked?) that Han Ye-seul, who is currently acting in the new SBS melodrama series Will It Snow For Christmas?, recently took a secret meeting with Mark Morgan, CEO of Imprint Entertainment, the production company behind Twilight and New Moon. Naturally, this has given rise to speculation that Han Ye-seul’s Hollywood debut may come in the third film of the Twilight saga, Eclipse.

News of the meeting was confirmed by a source related to the “Phone Hollywood remake project,” which is also under Imprint’s purview. Han quietly met with Morgan and film producer Michael Becker on December 5 at an undisclosed location in Seoul. (They were in the country to announce the Phone remake at a press conference on the 3rd.)

I’d take the possibility of a Twilight appearance with a huge grain of salt — I think it’s more likely she’d be cast for Phone — but apparently it’s not out of the question. The source avoided the direct question of Han’s casting potential for Eclipse, but when Chosun Ilbo’s reporter asked whether one could “take an optimistic outlook” about it, the answer was “Yes.” Meanwhile, Phone’s director had said at the recent press conference that he’d like to cast a Korean actress. The horror remake will use a Korean crew and director, but plans to cast American actors.

In general, this isn’t surprising news, since Han has been keeping an eye out for Hollywood opportunities since last year. I think her acting ranges from merely passable (Tazza) to bright and cute (Fantasy Couple, Miss Gold Digger), and on the whole it’s much improved from her early days. Furthermore, she’s one of few Korean actresses whose English is fluent without an accent and she grew up in California, so unlike some other stars attempting the crossover, language isn’t an issue. Language fluency also opens the door for her to take on roles outside the role of the stereotypical Asian Other — e.g., the ubiquitous assassin or martial artist a la Jeon Ji-hyun, Lee Byung-heon, or Rain.

Koyote’s BaekGa Diagnosed With Brain Tumor.

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

The evil curse of 2009 strikes yet again with only a few weeks left 'till the new year as Koyote's rapper BaekGa (Baek Sung Hyun) has been diagnosed with a brain tumor after receiving a standard MRI scan. He was involved in a small car accident and was feeling dizzy, so the doctors recommended an MRI Scan and found the tumor.

On the 9th, BaekGa revealed this unfortunate news via his mini-homepage and thanked those who were supporting him. However, he also revealed some of the personal things he went through when he and his family found out as he wrote, "Maybe it's because I hated to see the men I love crying around me, but I cursed and yet you all still ignored me and continued to cry. I then went into a bathroom stall and locked myself and as I covered my mouth with my scarf, tears began to pour out like crazy," he continued, "After crying for a while I came out and as I looked in the mirror a laugh came out. My heart hurt so much but I felt so good. My older and younger brother had dashed over here and spent the whole night up and that made me laugh with gratitude."

He then sent a personal thanks to his brothers as he said, "I feel grateful that I have someone by my side, which is why I've decided to stay strong. Even without saying it I'm sure you know that I'm very thankful. I truly thank you."

This is quite the downer especially after news about his fellow Koyote member being discharged have been revealed. BaekGa and Shin Ji had been holding down the fort for the past two years as Kim Jong Min served his military duties. Koyote is well known for its members coming and going but BaekGa has been the longest running rapper in the group and hopefully he can stay even longer. Hope things turns around for BaekGa, and wish him luck in his treatment process.

GD under media criticism again

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

G-Dragon Concert has got a severe media criticism in containing explicit content like sex, crime, and violence which is not suitable for the preteens.

The writer stated that the promoter, the organizer and the artist should be aware of it at the very first place. The show has also raised a great concern of parents in viewing it and that the promoter couldn’t care less about what they do. The writer referred the show to the Elvis Presley's one which also share the same degree of seductive live show. The writer summed up that it was a dark side of the disgraceful pop culture these days.

The Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs prosecutors requested G-Dragon in criminal investigation for violating the Youth Protection Act (Section 17 – Teen Theater). The Ministry representative stated that the legal consequence was inevitable due to the public obscene performances specified in these particular songs; “Breathe,” “She’s Gone” and “Korean Dream.”

The punishment for the violation of this act is at most a 3 years imprisonment and/or a fine less than ₩ 20,000,000.

[hypothermal.livejournal.com]

[Jumunjin], with Super Junior’s Kibum and actress Hwang Bora as its leads, has been slated for a release next year, on the 21st of January.

Directed by Ha Myeong-jung, [Jumunjin] is set in the Korean city of Jumunjin, with its beautiful scenery as a backing for the story. According to the production team, the movie aims to show that “love is beautiful and pure” through the storyline, which involves a man who lives aimlessly because he cannot forget his deceased lover, and the village girl who loves him in return.

The male lead, Kibum from Super Junior, already has much popularity due to his status as a member of the idol boy band. In [Juminjin], he will play the male lead, who chooses to live like a ghost due to the pain of losing his first love. Hwang Bora will play the role of the curious village girl who is in love with Kibum’s character.

This is the second time the two have collaborated.

YONGHWA IS POPULAR~

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

20 years old Jung Yong Hwa received 3 invitation calls at the same time. This was because Jung Yong Hwa captured the hearts of many female fans in the recent broadcast Korean TV drama ‘You’re Beautiful’ where he acted as a gentle smiling angel, Kang Shin Woo.

He was also selected as the new host in the new series of ‘Sunday Sunday Night’. Comparing to the three years effort to prepare the band which their album will be released in January next year, Jung Yong Hwa expressed: “I feel good in Year 2009.”

With the height of 180cm, Kang Shin Woo showed concern and took care of Go Mi Nam (who disguised herself as a man and joined in the band). He was just like an guardian angel. Because of one towel and one glass of milk, he was given the nickname as ‘Towel Guy’ and ‘Milk Guy’.

Jung Yong Hwa said: “Actually I do alot of research and studies after watching Hyeong Kim Hyun Joong (Brother Kim Hyun Joong) in ‘Boys Before Flowers’. The writers told me not to be too mushy and corrected me alot. It’s a band’s story, therefore it’s good that I know how to play the guitar.”

Jung Yong Hwa was very fond of music when he was in high school. At the same time, they found a planning agency. 4 twenty-year-old boys form the band name ‘CN Blue’. They held promotional activities in Japan before their album debut. Their company mentioned that they have to taste some bitterness (take the hardships) if they want to make music. According to their company instructions, CN Blue began their street performances in Tokyo in May this year.

“Obviously we do not know how to speak Japanese, we had ever been arrested by the police when we performed on the streets. Recently the band’s popularity increased because of the drama. Right now we have been invited to the Rock Music Festival.” said Jung Yong Hwa.

2NE1 to make variety show appearance

[xperfect-lines.livejournal.com]

It's been a long time coming and I know everyone has been waiting for this moment. The 4 girls of 2NE1 will be making their first variety show appearance on MBC since their debut, on the December 27th episode of MBC's Sunday Night "Danbi" corner!

As you may have noticed, YG Entertainment artists have not appeared on any MBC shows since March, making many believe that the two companies were in conflict.

YG Entertainment stated:

"Some may think otherwise, but there are no conflicts with MBC. Moving forward, if any of our artists' concepts fit well with an MBC TV program, they will definitely attend."

We know the girls of 2NE1 have good charisma on stage, but let's see how they fair on variety programs. Who's excited for this?

Sourceee is allkpop.

Moar 2NE1 is always good 8D

EDIT: removed allkpop fail hahaha XD Perhaps they were talking about first appearance in MBC?

YG releases apology for G-dragon’s antics

[pottertastic.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment has released their official statement on the case of G-Dragon’s controversial solo concert.

“We came in contact with an article that said the Korean Family Health Department requested that G-Dragon’s solo concert be examined in further detail for violating the child protection law and sexual promiscuity performance,” said YGE.

“We should have considered the extreme impact popular culture can have on young adults. We are sincerely sorry for the controversy and have no intentions of putting the blame on other people or making excuses in order to refuse responsibility. YG will cooperate willingly with any investigations, and we accept all responsibility for the controversy.”

“Also, although this is a separate matter from the controversy, we would like to mention that for a lot of artists, a solo concert is a big dream as well as a big pressure for them. Usually on music programs, they perform a couple of songs, whereas in a solo concert, an artist must lead the audience for more than 2 hours by himself. We feel that artists feel pressured to show extreme performances in some cases due to the huge amount of expectation put on them.”

“In the concert DVD, all controversial scenes that were deemed inappropriate will be excluded or edited. We apologize once again for the trouble caused, and will take extreme caution to avoid causing any sort of controversy similar to this in the future. Thank you.”


Hmm, pretty heartfelt stuff no? Of course, the question is raised, who reviewed the choreography for the concert? Were no bells going off when there was a girl tied to a bed getting humped?

Either way, YG has officially apologized for the actions of the Big Bang leader, regardless of whether or not he did anything wrong. I'm sure fangirls are less upset over the dry humping than they are over the fact that the concert DVD will be edited to remove sexual fap material "inappropriate" scenes.
