'Entertainment Weekly' Officially Apologizes For The TVXQ Subtitle Error

[locofruitcake.livejournal.com]

KBS 2TV's 'Entertainment Weekly', which was under fire for an error in the show's subtitles, released an official apology through the show's homepage.

The production crew of 'Entertainment Weekly' put said apology under the title 'This is the production crew of Entertainment Weekly' in the Viewers' Thread on the show's official homepage on the evening of the 28th.

In this apology, they showed their remorse for their mistake by saying, "There was an error regarding the names of the members of the group TVXQ in the '2009 Star Survey' corner which was aired on the 26th. We will make sure an incident like this will never happen again."

In this segment of 'Entertainment Weekly' that was aired on the 26th, the production crew was under fire for putting out subtitles that read "Xiah Junsu, Choikang Changmin and Meecky Yoochun filed a lawsuit against their agency". They made the mistake of putting Choikang Changmin's name instead of YoungWoong Jaejoong when reporting this news.

After the airing of the show, many people, mostly TVXQ fans, demanded an apology from the program.

THE BEST NEWS TO END 2009.

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

Loyal man Yoo Jae Suk will be the main MC for Family Outing Season 2. Though it was announced he would be leaving the show, it seems like he can't give it up.

Season 2 of this hit variety show will start airing in the beginning of 2010. One of the associates of the program said, "It's only been agreed through words but Yoo Jae Suk will keep being part of the 'family.' "

The original Family Outing will come to an end.

The new season will feature new members as well as a new configuration of the show. One thing will stay the same and it's MC Yoo.

After the recently concluded 2009 SBS Entertainment Awards where he shared the Daesang with Lee Hyori, he said, "I was criticized by many viewers. For whatever reason it was, I must reflect over my actions and learn."

It looks like Yoo Jae Suk won't have time for his new baby.

Rain, Jang Dong Gun, and Shin Min Ah sing for SKT

[xperfect-lines.livejournal.com]

Top stars Rain, Jang Dong Gun, and Shin Min Ah team up to capture the New Year by endorsing SKT with a CF song called "Being Myself"

The song is very "feel good" and has lyrics like "My small eyes are ugly? Nah, my small eyes are my charm!" and "You think I have a 4-D personality? That's exciting! My charm comes from being myself!"

An insider working on the CF revealed, "The trio has plain and sweet voices that make the song more appealing."

The CF is set to be released on New Year's day and I'm sure the depressed people of Korea will be cheered up by this attractive trio (and that amazingly cute dog helps too).

Veteran crooner defies his age with a sellout tour

[unreal.livejournal.com]

Lee Moon-sae may not be a familiar name to younger Korean pop music fans because he is an old-time singer who debuted in 1983. However, to many members of an earlier generation, Lee still remains a solid musician boasting 14 regular albums and many hits such as “Gwanghwamun Love Song,” “Flying in the Deep Night” and “Red Sunset,” the last of which was a hit again last year when it was covered by the popular boy band Big Bang.

Two former presidents and a king passed away. One wrong remark during an entertainment show took the entire country by storm. Such unbelievably enormous incidents were played out in unbelievable directions during 2009. Thus, the top ten news of 2009 selected by <10 Asia> may seem like the ten most incredulous news of the year. But one could say that what these ten news stories have in common is that they carry the flow of Korea’s pop culture. Can you really believe that all these things happened within a span of one year?
