SNSD's Yuri (given name Kwon Yuri) became a freshman of Chung-Ang Universities class of 2010. (*note in Korea, "Class of _____" is determined by the year that you enter University)

Newsen posted on the 6th of January "Yuri has decided to enter Chung-Ang University".

Yuri passed Chung-Ang University's first advanced entrance exam for the entertainment arts program for the school year of 2010, and also Dong-Guk Universitie's early entrance exam as well. Yuri chose to become a member of Chung-Ang University, which made her an alumni of SNSD member Sooyoung.

The other SNSD member that will be going to University this year, maknae Seohyun, chose to enter Dong-Guk University for the Entertainment Arts Program.

Real life F4 gets reality show?

[theuncolored.livejournal.com]

After the huge success of Boys Over Flowers, it seems someone thought having a reality show following the lives of four real life rich flower boys would be a good idea. Coming soon to Korean cable channel On Style is Papa Rich (파파리치), which will follow the luxurious life of four young chaebeols. The four players in this show are: Eom Seong Mo, 25 the son of a medical family that owns several hospitals; Yoon Suk Min, 25 son of parents who own a financial group; Kim Hyung Woo, 21 grandson of the K Group; and Park Jae Young, 20 grandson of the M Company.

The show follows their life in which their family’s fortunes puts them in the top 1% of the Korean population in terms of wealth. They have allowances in excess of ₩20,000,000 ( yes, all those zeros are correct – about $20,000) a month, drive luxury foreign cars, and ‘hang out’ with friends in ways beyond what most of us are able to. The four are said to have different and interesting personalities and the show will follow all aspects of their life not just the happy and fun stuff, but also all the stress and difficulties they experience. They grew up going to all the upper class schools, leading somewhat sheltered lives, and have much pressure on them regarding their futures. Hmmm, talk about life imitating art. I wonder if one of them will fall in love with the plucky daughter of a dry cleaner, and then his mom finds out and goes ballistic, but then his best friend falls in love with her too?

If you’re interested in seeing a real life Boys Over Flowers, the debut episode will be on January 10th at 2:oo pm in Korea. Check out the preview of the show here, courtesy of wkfzldnj.

When you first meet another, the person's eyes are usually the first thing you look at. Eyes therefore play a big part in creating the first impression of oneself. And the eyesmiles are ones which make these eyes more beautiful and lovelier. We gathered 4 idols whose eyesmiles make our heart flutter the most. They're SNSD's Tiffany, F(x)'s Sulli, Big Bang's TaeYang and 2PM's Nikhun.

Lee Minwoo’s stay in hospital will be extended

[jinjja.livejournal.com]

Shinhwa member, who is currently being hospitalized after a car accident on Christmas Eve, is likely to get his hospitalization period extended.

On Christmas Eve, Lee Minwoo’s car slipped on an icy road outside Yongpyeong Reosrt in Gangwon-do and he suffered injuries to his neck, back and spine, as well as a concussion. He was admitted into a hospital in Seoul on the 25th and is currently recuperating there.

A rep from Lee Minwoo’s management told Newsen on 5th Jan, “He’s still receiving treatment in the hospital, but it looks like he will be hospitalized for a longer period of time. Injuries take longer to heal since he’s older now. Initially we thought he would recover very soon, so we’re very concerned right now.”

Besides a concussion, Lee Minwoo sustained injuries to his neck, back and ankle. However, looking at the state of the wrecked car, it seems that he is considered lucky. The rep said, “When the police sent us the photos of the scene of the accident on the 4th, it looked absolutely dismal. Although he welcomed the new year in the hospital, it was really an escape from what could have been much worse.”

Meanwhile, Lee Minwoo’s concert ‘M’s Suite Room’, which was initially scheduled for 16 and 17 Jan at Ewha Woman’s University, has been cancelled due to his accident. However, Lee Minwoo may still consider proceeding with the concert after he has recovered from his injuries.

Although it still sounds very serious, and it's taking longer than they hoped, let's stay positive ^^ 이민우 화이팅! He was very healthy and fit before the accident, which gives him a much better chance of recovering well.

TOP, attacking both singing and acting.

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

It's now TOP's generation!

After leaving a strong impression with his assassin role in 'Iris', popular idol group Big Bang's TOP (Choi Seunghyeon) plans to show various transformations this year.

TOP will begin his solo activities either mid-February or early-March. On the 7th, a YG Entertainment representative confirmed it will either be a mini-album or digital single, and that "the overall direction hasn't been determined yet but it will be planned to fit TOP's unique style." After his solo activities Big Bang will meet fans as a group with a new album sometime the first half of 2010.

TOP's plans as an actor are also underway. After his screen-debut last November in the telecinema '19,' he is currently filming the movie, "Into the Gunfire' as Jangbum, a student soldier. TOP stated, "It's an honor to once again be involved in such a large-scale production, and I am working hard night and day to not cause any problems for this project."

'Into the Gunfire' is a movie shedding new light on student soldiers' bravery and noble deaths during the Korean War, and is planned to start showing in theaters in mid-June.

Because MBlaq members can't stop kissing people...

[cookie-nut.livejournal.com]

 2AM JinWoon’s “surprise” kiss with MBLAQ Mir!

2AM Jeong Jinwoon and MBLAQ Mir have exchanged an electrifying kiss on the snow.

2AM’s Jeong Jinwoon and MBLAQ’s Mir laid out a kiss scene in SBS E!TV ‘Idol Maknae Rebellion’ together with the 1991 line friends, SHINee KEY and Beast Son Dongwun.

In ‘IMR’, there has been a battle over MBLAQ Mir, with Mir headbutting against Jinwun.

After a fierce fight, Mir pushed Jinwun aside, but as Jinwun ran toward him, calling him out for a duel, he slipped in the snowy ground, kissing Mir.

As Mir came back having been wasted by Jinwun, MBLAQ who wanted to keep their maknae safe is starting a battle with ‘IMR’ members who recruited Mir. With that concept, the show started with MBLAQ and ‘IMR’ continued with search ranking battle, the balloon popping of horrors, swine flue battle, knee wrestling, drag queen battle.

January 9th 10pm broadcast.

Andy Prepares For Military

[theuncolored.livejournal.com]

Andy (28) of Shinhwa and “We Got Married” will be enlisting in the military on January 11th. In preparation, Andy will have a fan meeting and release a digital single.

Eric, Kim Dong-wan, and Junjin have already enlisted, but Andy, Shinhwa’s mangnae (youngest member) will be the first of Shinhwa to serve active duty. Andy gave up his American citizenship in 2003, and is required to serve in Korea’s military for about 2 years.

On January 11th, Andy will head off to 6 months of basic training at Nonsan Military Training Center and then enter active duty.

Before that, Andy will have a fan meeting “ANDY Farewell Party Bye For Now” on January 9th, in Sungdong-gu at Sowol Art Hall. Andy will also release a digital single “One Love” (사랑 하나) on the day of his enlistment, January 11th.

Fellow member Minwoo, will also be enlisting this year, after putting off military service for about 2 years already. Minwoo was scheduled to have his last concert before enlistment on January 16th and 17th, but after a serious car accident, Minwoo injured his neck, back, and ankles, and is currently recovering.

The final member of Shinhwa, Shin Hye-sung, will not be serving in the military, due to a previous injury.

Andy’s cute antics will certainly be missed. Good luck!

G-Dragon "Summoned by the Prosecution", No Freedom of Expression for Musicians?

[vvvanilla.livejournal.com]

There are many controversies over G-Dragon's performance that was marked as an offense for an immoral performance and also said that it infringed the youth protection laws. We have to recognize that the core of this controversy is the freedom of a creator and that we cannot overlook the freedom of the audience who has the right to enjoy a creator's expressions and results.

This controversy this time is very ambiguous. What is the standard for obscenity? Is it when someone feels sexually harassed or is it when someone thinks that it is simply too erotic? But it’s not like the police could just pick a random person that was at G-Dragon’s concert and ask "Was that too obscene for you?" ( continue reading )

Daesung not participating in Family Outing season 2

[vvvanilla.livejournal.com]

Big Bang member Daesung was recently mentioned in the news that he will be joining the second season of Family Outing.

However, a representative from SBS announced today that Daesung has decided that he won't be participating in the next season anymore.

Daesung has been confirmed to be part of Song Ji Na's new drama, "What's Up" (working title), and is also working on his solo album so it is really impossible for him to participate due to schedule conflicts.

Daesung is one of the original cast members of Family Outing along with Yoo Jae Seok. The two are famous for being the "dumb and dumber" and for displaying "brotherly love" in the show.

Confirmed members for the second season are Girl's Generation's Yoona, Kim Won Hee Yoon Sang Hyeon and Ji Sang Ryeol. Filming is scheduled to begin this month.
