It looks like Brown Eyed Girl’s Ga-In has a true look-alike to a non-celebrity that goes by the name of Seo Ye Seul!
On a recent episode of tvN’s Hwa Seong In vs Hwa Seong In that aired on the 29th, Seo Ye Seul made an appearance and was immediately compared to Ga-In displaying all of their identical features.
Ga-In’s smokey eye signature trademark look was even similar, as can be seen in the photos. The other features that were found to be the same include hair, clothing style, and cosmetic choice.
The production team of the show invited a professional plastic surgeon to analyze their features in full detail and concluded that their eyes are a whopping 80% alike. Their entire appearance was then compared which turned out to be 95% alike.
A survey was also completed with the participation of 200 people on the streets. Most, if not all, stated that the two were the same person.
Separated at birth?!
Other than the first pic, I SERIOUSLY CAN'T TELL WHO IS WHO! Are these just her or is Gain one of them? SOMEONE TELL ME! TT_TT

KBS2TV Win Win put a picture of 2NE1’s CL as Dynamic Duo’s Gaeko on their most recent episode. The picture of her was something created by her antifan, which explains her shaved head.
Fans of CL and Gaeko were offended that they made this mistake. To be honest, the whole situation has been blown out of proportion but I guess it’s Win Win’s job to settle the matter.
Win Win said on their website,
The DJ DOC episode that aired yesterday (27th) had a mix-up for the photo of Gaeko. The staff inadvertently chose a picture and we’re sorry that it was aired. We will be more careful to avoid these type of things.
As of now, you can not re-watch the episode online. Win Win is working on fixing the picture first. I wonder what CL thinks of all of this.

Ouch. that was never an attractive pre-debut photo to begin with, and with the shaved head? shaking my head at you, antis.

SNSD members forgive the malicious netizens.
It has been known that 92 netizens caught in a case of uploaded nude composite photos of SNSD members have escaped from a jail sentence thanks to a petition carried out.
Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office has ruled that the 92 netizens caught posting up photos of SNSD members’s faces superimposed into photos of naked women have “no right for appeal”, because the SNSD members have submitted a petition asking for mercy on them.
And since 75 out of the 92 netizens are underaged and for the rest of them it is their first time committing the crime, they have been exempted from being prosecuted for what they have done.
Previously in May, SM Entertainment had sent out a warning stating that ‘we have seen the composite photos of the girls which will harm them’, lodging a police complaint.

One year ago, T-ara debuted through MBC's "Golden Fishery - Radio Star". At that time it was an unique way for a singer to debut, but now they're celebrating this special anniversary date.
T-ara all went and greeted fans at the opening of Jiyeon's "Death Bell 2" film.
T-ara's actively promoted several songs throughout the past year like, "Lies", "Bo Peep Bo Peep", "I Go Crazy Because of You" and "Like The First Time", along with the project group songs with Supernova, "TTL" and "TTL Listen.2". They've all gone to #1 on various music sites, along with several being ranked one on music programs.
T-ara members also showcased themselves as actors this past year. Eunjung was in "Coffee House" while Jiyeon was in the dramas "Soul" and "God of Study" and the movie "Death Bell 2" showcasing they are not just performers.
In addition, Hyomin was in the variety show "Invincible Youth" and began shooting for the drama "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho", and Qri also began shooting for "Updates from Southern Trader Kim Chulsoo", showcasing a different look.
"Death Bell 2" was released yesterday which starred T-ara's Jiyeon. T-ara started yesterday going to the screenings and plans to go to over 300 showings to support Jiyeon and to meet with fans and moviegoers to celebrate the one year anniversary since T-ara's debut.
"Death Bell 2" is about a special class in the summer where murders begin happening and the students go into survival mode while the murderer plays a game with them.

Korean pop idols miss A continued their winning streak on Gaon's singles chart last week, scoring their third straight win with their debut song "Bad Girl, Good Girl."
According to data released by Gaon on Thursday, the girl group's title song from their single ablum "Bad But Good" remained at the No. 1 spot on the singles chart for the week of July 18 to 24.
miss A, composed of Chinese members Fei and Jia, and Koreans Suzy and Min, splashed onto the local music scene on July 1. Just last week, they took their first win on televised music programs Mnet's "M! Countdown" and KBS' "Music Bank."
Newly released tune "LUCIFER" by five-member boy band SHINee entered the singles chart in second place and "I'll Back Off" by songstress G.Na featuring Junhyung of BEAST made an incredible 15-spot jump to No. 3.
Meanwhile, SHINee's second full-length record, of the same name as their new tune, made its debut atop Gaon's album chart during the fourth week of July.
The recently released single album "Digital Bounce" by singer Se7en successfully bowed into the chart at No. 2, while former 2PM leader Park Jae-beom's debut single "Count On Me" slid two slots to third place.

Korean actor Kwon Sang-woo has been fined seven million won by a court for fleeing the scene of an accident in which Kwon collided into several vehicles in mid-June.
Judge Kim Se-jong of the Seoul Central District Court on Thursday handed a summary order of seven million won, equivalent to nearly 6,000 dollars, to the 33-year-old actor for the incident.
Two weeks ago, prosecutors had summarily indicted Kwon five million won for the same case, charging him with not taking immediate action for the damage he inflicted.
"It seems the justice department made the rare decision of imposing a higher fine on Kwon than the sum he was indicted for in consideration of the social responsibility he holds as a popular celebrity and the fact that he fled from the accident at the time," explained a court official.
A month ago, Kwon had made headlines after it became belatedly known that the actor had crashed into several vehicles including a police car near Seoul's Cheongdam-dong district during the early hours of June 12.
He had abandoned his vehicle and fled the scene soon after, only showing up at the police station two days later to undergo investigation for the incident.
No casualties were involved and there was no evidence that Kwon had been drunk driving at the time he caused the accident. Kwon himself had also denied driving under the influence of alcohol.
Kwon had shot to fame throughout Asia after starring in the 2003 TV series "Stairway to Heaven", which co-starred another Hallyu star Choi Ji-woo.
He recently starred in war pic "71 - Into The Fire" and will be appearing in upcoming TV series "Big Thing" alongside top Korean actress Ko Hyun-jung.

Members had participated a lot in the making of this album, and have shown much love for this album. Making a comeback after 9 months of rest, SHINee showed their love for their 2nd album ‘Lucifer’.
On a recent interview with SHINee backstage, SHINee shared that: The current album is feels more completed and is also very outstanding, therefore we are very pleased. Especially when it is the first time members have taken part in the making of the album, which is why we love this album. From the lyrics to the stage costume, members have expressed their ideas and comments.
Currently a hot topic is the lyrics that Onew and Jonghyun wrote, Onew’s heartwarming ‘Your Name’ and Jonghyun’s ‘Obsession’ that tells a story of a man who missed his chance with his lover. When asked how did they feel when they have never experienced the feelings in the lyrics, Onew said: “The lyrics will be better if we have experienced it before..” while Jonghyun simply said that he has asked around for suggestions.
If SHINee’s previous image being noona’s boys, then this album has successfully changed them to men. Members are very pleased with the photoshoot of this album, “we had a lot of ideas for this album, how to be more outstanding, how to portray a better image etc, we were really troubled. Between members we also interacted a lot and exchanged ideas, the end product really showed our individual charm so we are very pleased”.
Not forgetting their fans that had waited for 9 long months, SHINee said “Actually, we were quite nervous after not performing on stage for a long time. On our comeback stage there was many fans so we are really thankful, it was good standing on the stage and feeling our fans’ love. We will do well in our activities to thank them for waiting for us”.

Just two years ago, boy band SHINee bounced onto the country’s ever-blossoming teen idol scene, wooing their way into the hearts of nuna (a friendly Korean saying for older women) fans nationwide with sing-along melodies, easy-to-follow dance moves and bashful, dimply smiles.
Their debut single, “You’re So Beautiful, Nuna,” wisely targeting their key demographic at the time, soared to the top of the K-pop charts, allowing the five-member boy band to continue their success with other singles including “Ring Ding Dong” and “Love Like Oxygen” on their first album.
On their second album “Lucifer,” however, released earlier this month, it was apparent that SHINee was no longer content with being mere eye candy or being perceived as just another glossy “product” manufactured by their agency, SM Entertainment.

In South Korea, the launch of "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty" is more than just a follow-up to one of the PC industry's top-selling games -- it could shake up what many see as the North Asian country's national sport.
In high-tech South Korea -- which has one of the highest broadband penetration rates in the world -- the StarCraft video game series has spawned devotion more akin to professional sports teams.
Indeed, video game players there can get lucractive contracts from professional teams with corporate sponsorships. Games of large tournaments are broadcast live on television in South Korea.
"In Korea, a lot of factors came together to make it a big thing," professional gamer Greg Fields told CNN's Kristie Lu Stout.
The first StarCraft game, produced by Blizzard Entertainment in Irvine, California, came out in 1998 when the South Korean economy was melting down during the Asian Financial Crisis.
"It was in the middle of an economic recession and (StarCraft) was easy, cheap entertainment. It really took over and just captivated a nation," said Fields, a 20-year-old New Jersey native recruited two years ago to play StarCraft for the South Korean team CJ Entus.
In a nod to the game's popularity in South Korea, Blizzard first announced plans for StarCraft II at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Seoul in May 2007.
About 90 percent of South Korean households are connected to high-speed broadband and the nation has some 25,000 internet cafes, which took in $600 million last year, according to government figures. The gaming market is expected to be worth $5.5 billion this year with a 17 percent growth rate, according to the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA).
StarCraft II was first released Tuesday in South Korea and other Asian nations. The original game sold about 11 million copies worldwide .
While gamers in South Korea are lining up to get copies of the new title, StarCraft II could be a game changer in the country's professional circuit, Fields said.
"In StarCraft II, the leagues aren't established yet, they're all building up -- it's going to be huge, but we don't know how long it will take, how huge it will be, whether (existing teams) will be good at the game or not," Fields said.

unreal.livejournal.comA South Korean newspaper claims Russian investigators have found North Korea did not torpedo one of the South's warships that sank in spring. The report says the vessel hit a mine.
Russia has not yet commented on the story.
The "Cheonan" sank off the Korean peninsula in March, with the loss of 46 sailors.
Earlier, a US-backed international investigation found Pyongyang responsible. However, Pavel Leshakov, the director of Korean studies at the Moscow State University, says the conclusion is “almost 100 per cent political.”
Full video interview with Pavel Leshakov can be watched here
Russia sent its own team of investigators to the region last month.
North Korea has continuously denied any links to the incident.
The incident has made the tense situation on the divided peninsula even worse. But it could potentially develop to become even uglier, says investigative journalist Wayne Madsen.
“This is very critical, because if there is a smoking gun – this could have been a set-up, this was some sort of accident made look like hostile action or it was some sort of false flag attack, this could result in war against a nuclear armed-country, North Korea,” Madsen asserts.
Pyotr Razvin from the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry, believes despite the high tension, the chances of an actual war are limited.
"Both North and South Korea see the perspective of a war as mutually assured destruction. If a conflict were to erupt, the Korean peninsula would be economically devastated. Besides, neighbouring China has no interest in a war on its borders either, be it a nuclear or not."

South Korea said there where no other ships at that time besided two from North Korea. But actually there where 13-15 other ships from the U.S and South Korea

"My acting debut in a one-act play/drama? It was a big burden. But I've been majoring in acting since childhood and this would only be good for me. If it's a not a big drama for me, I think this is a good chance for me and definitely a great experience."
Qri has been in front of cameras before as a singer, but now as an actress. She was full of happiness. "After the shooting ended, I just have become more ambitious, I'll keep praying for more chances like this," she said. Lee Qri's drama, "Updates from Southern Trader Kim Chulsoo" is scheduled for broadcast next month on KBSTV where she plays the female lead. She previously appeared in the MBC drama "Queen Seondeok" with a minimal role. Qri's character is shy and not very feminine, who works in a coffee shop, where she falls in love with Kim Chulsoo (Oh Man Seok).
"My role is a very passive character, and I'm used to being 'beautiful' being a female artist and caring about myself and others. I was taken back when we first started and felt small. It changed my knowledge on things."
Qri is used to doing group activities. This was a strange, new experience for her and difficult as well. "Frankly, until now, all my appearances in dramas were cameos. Most of them were with other T-ara members, like all of us in 'God of Study'. And me and Soyeon in 'Giant'. A lot of fans of T-ara thought I needed more attention, and now I can. It was a point very difficult to get to."
