Nichkhun rides the bus?

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

There are some photos of Nichkhun on a bus getting much attention from netizens!

People are wondering where the flower boy of 2PM heading towards.As you can see in the photos above,he is trying to cover his face from being recognised by his fans but his efforts seemed to have turned out to be a failure.

I have to admit that it is going to be more difficult for members of 2PM to walk along the streets nowadays as their popularity bloomed thanks to Again & Again and Heartbeat,anyway wish them all the best especially leader Jay who is still now in The States!

BiBimBap stirs up controversy with Infinity Challenge?

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

If you are Korean, or are a fan of Korean foods, you must know BiBimBap - one of the best, if not the best dish in Korea. If you don't know what it is, I'll explain it to you guys quick and brief. BiBimBap is a dish mixed with various vegetables and beef to go along with the rice. But the most important ingredient is the red pepper paste, known as GoChuJang in Korea. Now how would a BiBimBap stir up a controversy with Infinity Challenge?

Even though I'm not a Korean, I'm offended too.
I'm somebody who has hated vegetables to the core since I was 6 but I absolutely love BiBimBap.
Plus, it's part of Korea, a part of their culture; there's no right for one to judge like that.

Baek Ji Young writes an apology letter to her fans

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

After fainting in the middle of her concert, Baek Ji Young was unable to attend SBS Gayo Daejun for her performance. Earlier today, Baek Ji Young uploaded an apology letter to her fans through Rouge (루즈), the singer's fan cafe.



I am sorry, and I apologize for breaking my promise to perform. An artist's life depends on his/her health ... so it is mainly my fault for not taking care of my own body. I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart. ... On the day of my Dinner Party performance, my health wasn't good; I couldn't even stand up by myself. But I still attended the concert, thinking about audience which was prepared to watch my performance. I wanted to perform until the end because I received strength from the audience's applause. But at the end, I couldn't sing very well no matter how hard I tried, so I had to leave the stage. ... I will accept all of the complaints and rebukes from the audience and I will try my best to never let this kind of situation happen again. I will repay the audience members who attended that day by inviting them all to another concert I am preparing right now.

Baek Ji Young will still attend KBS Gayo Festival to perform Do Not Forget from the IRIS OST, as well as MBC Gayo Grand Celebration to perform My Ear's Candy with Lee Seung Gi today.

Best of luck to Baek Ji Young on her KBS & MBC performances as well as her recovery.

「The 60th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen Rehearsal」 (29th、NHK Hall)

Korea's popular group Tohoshinki, who is attending Kouhaku Uta Gassen for the second consecutive time in two years, also attended the rehearsals held on the 29th. In the midst of disbanding rumours, their rehearsal was not revealed to the press. The 5 members were unable to respond to interviews, and the mood was one of high alert.

On the Internet, fans have been expressing their worries - "This might be the last Kouhaku Uta Gassen where you can see all 5 of them together." In the midst of that, the 5 members of Tohoshinki participated in the rehearsal held at NHK Hall, at 7pm, which was after the "interview period".

Press coverage at the venue ended at 6pm. During the rehearsal, at the time when the press was shut out of the venue, an official from AVEX warded the queries of the media and only explained that "it was due to their schedules". In the end, their stage was not revealed, the members could not meet the press, and there was a tense mood all around.

BEG JeA fans are angry, “Child Of Empire is ZE:A? Change the name”

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

There has been some disagreement between the same names of Brown Eyed Girls Jea (제아) and upcoming 9-member group ZE:A (제아).

ZE:A is the name of an upcoming 9-member group previously known as Child Of Empire under Star Empire Entertainment. The group has revealed some album jacket photos on 28th December and will be releasing their debut album on 7th January.

But this has met with some strong protest from Brown Eyed Girls JeA’s fans. The reason is that they have the same name (in Korean that is). And it has been known that the fans have been calling up Star Empire to ask about the same-name issue.

This is similar to that of newcomer singers like 2NE1 who were known as 21 before but it was the name of another singer, and also BEAST Lee GiGwang who was known as AJ previously but fans of Paran AJ have caught such an issue about it and he had to change his name.

Much attention is on what Star Empire will do with this same-name issue with the hypersensitive reaction from fans.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

According to a Chinese list of the Earth’s 50 Most Beautiful People for the year of 2009, G-Dragon was picked as one for his charisma on stage, yet child-like smile off the stage. He was number 28, while Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga tied for #1.

“G-Dragon
Since Big Bang’s early days, their young leader G-Dragon has been accused of plagiarism, the same thing happened when G-Dragon released his own solo album. This individualistic Leo, blood type A guy is always upright on the stage and stubbornly sings his own songs. However once he turns around to hug his beloved dog “GaHo“, he is full of child-like smiles.”
