Dara & Taeyang sport matching couple shirts

[kishikiari.livejournal.com]

After giving us a glimpse of 2NE1’s unannounced trip to Los Angeles over the past few days, me2day queen Dara has uploaded a new photo for fans to teem over featuring Taeyang of Big Bang three times! Confused?



평소에 장난꾸러기 동생이던 영배가 촬영장에서 음악이 나오자 멋지고 매력적인 남자 태양으로 변했다! 멋있긴하더라^^ 복근만 쪼꼬렛인게 아니라 목소리도 쪼꼬렛이다 ㅋㅋ 달콤달콤 열매를 먹었나 영배가???

After his music video comes out, the naughty dongsaeng Yongbae-ah will transform into a charming, attractive Taeyang! Really cool ^^ It’s not just about his abs being like chocolate, his voice is too keke. Do you think he ate very sweet fruit???

Okay, these aren’t exactly couple shirts since they just feature Taeyang’s face, but who knows? That conspicuous heart in the background can mean a thousand things.

Why Super Junior's Sungmin can't get a girlfriend?!

[utomu.livejournal.com]

On the recent episode of Fantasy Match – Love Class, Super Junior's Sungmin appeared where it was revealed that it's difficult for him to get a girlfriend because of his one piece dress. That thought is a bit feminine but Sungmin redeemed himself with masculinity by turning into Donatello and showing off his martial arts skill with the bo (staff).

What about other members of SS501?

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Korean singer and actor Kim Hyun-joong, the leader of idol group SS501, has signed an exclusive contract with Bae Yong-joon's agency, according to a press release by KEYEAST on Tuesday.

"We plan to provide more professional and concentrated support so that Hallyu star Kim Hyun-joong can go beyond Asia and grow into a global entertainer," Yang Geun-hwan, the president of KEYEAST, was quoted as saying.

KEYEAST also explained that they plan to support Kim's overseas activities through its Japan affiliate DA (Digital Adventure) and carry out various promotions with DATV, a cable channel for Asian entertainment programs.

Rumors of Kim teaming up with Bae first surfaced last month when it was reported that Kim and Bae had a private meeting. Kim and his band SS501's contract with agency DSP Media expired on June 8.

But at the time, DSP downplayed the rumor, saying it was only a personal meeting between Kim and Bae, a close friend and mentor figure to the young star.

Earlier this month, several media reports had claimed that Kim had indeed signed a management contract with KEYEAST. But an official at KEYEAST dismissed the reports as "groundless" and said that they had not signed with the singer.

DSP Media also released a statement on Tuesday, saying other band members have not yet decided on their future plans.

Kim Hyung-jun will continue working as a deejay on SBS' radio show "Radio Music High" while Heo Young-saeng, Kim Kyu-jong and Park Jung-min will be taking a break and make a decision later on.

Kim, 23, is the leader of boy band SS501, one of the most successful K-pop acts in Asia since their debut in 2005. The singer has also done some acting work, most notably in the smash hit drama "Boys Over Flowers" last year alongside actors Lee Min-ho and Ku Hye-sun.

SS501, who released the album "Destination" last month, have been promoting their latest single "Love Ya."

Kim Nam-gil receives military draft notice for July 15

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Korean actor Kim Nam-gil, who is currently starring in SBS TV series "Bad Boy," has been notified to enlist in the army by July 15, as part of fulfilling the country's mandatory two-year military service.

"It is true that Kim Nam-gil received a draft notice for July 15," an official at the show's production company Good Story said in a phone call with Asia Economic Daily on Tuesday. "But he is in the middle of shooting the drama... We cannot say that he will be going to the military on July 15 no matter what."

The official further explained that broadcaster SBS and Good Story are trying to delay his military entrance date until the shooting for "Bad Boy" wraps up.

The 20-episode Wednesday/Thursday evening drama, which premiered on May 26, is scheduled to run until the last week of July.

Recently, actor Lee Jun-ki tried to defer his military entrance date as well, in order to finish up shooting for film "Grand Prix" and upcoming blockbuster TV series "Faith." He eventually pulled out from both projects when he was unable to do so and entered the army on May 3.

Kim, 29, made his debut in 2003 and has appeared in notable dramas such as "Be Strong Geum Soon" (MBC, 2005), "Goodbye Solo" (KBS2, 2006) and "Lovers" (SBS, 2006).

He became a household name last year playing the role of Bidam in MBC's historical drama "Queen Seon-deok" alongside top Korean actress Ko Hyun-jung.

MC Mong describes his new show as "unfocused and messy"

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Korean singer and TV personality MC Mong has said that the appeal of his new variety show "Haha Mong Show" is that it is "unfocused and messy."

"Haha Mong Show" is a new variety show starring singers Haha and MC Mong, known for their sense of humor as well as musical talent, as the main emcees.

"After the pilot broadcast on May 1, the most number of viewers said that the show was 'unfocused and messy,'" said MC Mong at the show's press conference, held at SBS Seoul office on Tuesday.

"So we thought about how to make it unmessy and focused but we figured that it means we should not talk and we should not be the show's emcees, hence we will try to use the ways we lack in this to approach viewers with something fresh and new.."

Daewoo Says SM Possesses At Least 50 Billion Won In Cash.. The Lawsuit Is Not A Problem

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

Daewoo Securities Co. Ltd. stated on the 29th that although SM’s stocks (041510) (12,950 Won, -3.00%) are plummeting due to the TVXQ lawsuit issue, the dip is nothing to greatly worry about.

Kim Chang Won of Daewoo Securities Co. Ltd. Research Center stated, “The current situation is a good opportunity to buy,” and “SM has at least 50 billion Won in cash reserves, so they will be able to easily cover a 3 billion Won compensation lawsuit.”

“Their second quarter sales will exceed the ballpark figure,” and “In the third quarter, SHINee and BoA’s domestic activities, Girls Generation’s Japanese activities and Super Junior M’s Chinese activities will reap great rewards.”
