A new “idol rock band” consisting of five members will be debuting with a remake of Baek Ji Young’s hit track, “DASH.”
The group is belongs to the agency Story, which also manages singers Kim Jong Seo and Jack Kim. The members consist of leader and drummer Sunghyun, vocal I-OH, vocal Minyong (a former participant of “Super Star K“), bassist and maknae ZEU, and guitarist Youngjun.
Story Entertainment stated, “Led Apple is unlike any other idol group that reveals their members before their actual debut. The group has been kept highly secretive in order to make sure their success is entirely dependent on their skills. They’ll become an idol group that can dance, sing ballad, rock, ballad, and play instruments all at once.”
Led Apple is set to debut in the beginning of October. Their teaser will be released on the 29th, and their digital song and music video will be released on October 7th.

Jonghyun Cheers Up Wheesung Sunbae
2010-09-29 04:59 pmWheesung has already announced SHINee’s Jonghyun is his favorite hoobae. Recently, the R&B veteran further validated this fact.
In an interview for donga.com, Wheesung talks about his 2009 hit Insomia, saying, “It’s just the title song, not personal experience. Insomnia, depression… Now I can laugh. The one who turned me good-natured is SHINee’s Kim Jonghyun.”
Wheesung goes on to relate that his greatest desired result during album promotions was to transform the ‘unpleasant’ to ‘pleasant,’ and that it was Jonghyun that helped the most in that transformation.
The artist also boasts the SHINee fans are as good as his fans now too.
“These days I’m greeted and welcomed warmly wherever I go. This is all thanks to Jonghyunie. Because I gave Jonghyunie pointer lessons when his throat hurt and I participated in SHINee’s album as a lyricist for 2 songs, their fans even support me.”
A supportive hoobae goes a long way. This has the feel of a lasting friendship, don’t you think?

Want to bring JYJ to Europe?
2010-09-29 06:21 pm
We know, thanks to Analytics, that there’s many K-pop fans in the great continent of Europe but unfortunately there isn’t much opportunity for Europeans to get a glimpse of their favorite K-pop stars in person. Well, here’s a chance for you to possibly make a difference.
Yesterday, JYJ (Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, Xiah Junsu) announced the release of their upcoming global album titled “The Beginning”. In addition to this, they also announced a 8 city new album showcase tour from the 15th of October to the end of November in both Asia and the United States… once again, Europe is off the list.
Tired of being ignored, European fans started a project called “Let’s put Europe on the map!” They sent out various e-mails and a fan coordinator of JYJ’s tour (Monica) responded to their emails. She stated that they would like to see how many European fans actually exist and how many are willing to travel through Europe to attend a possible concert. The survey where they’re collecting this data can be found here.
If enough people participate, who knows… you might be seeing JYJ in a European country in the near future! I’m sure some of your favorite acts will also follow if JYJ were to put on a successful show. Remember to participate in the survey.

The lawmakers plan to summon owners of local major entertainment companies - including SM Entertainment and DSP Media - to a National Assembly audit and inspection hearing next week to determine whether songs and performances of girl groups are provocative, given that most of the girls are no more than teenagers.
The National Assembly’s Culture, Sports, Tourism and Broadcasting Committee yesterday requested that three entertainment business tycoons - Kim Young-min of SM Entertainment, Lee Ho-yeon of DSP Media and Park Ki-ho of GP Basic Entertainment - appear at the parliamentary audit Monday as witnesses.
“Lawmakers will point out legal and ethical problems of companies that make underage singers wear short pants to expose their thighs and legs on TV shows and sing songs with suggestive moves and lyrics that would create sexual fantasies,” said Grand National Party lawmaker Ahn Hyoung-Hwan, who belongs to the assembly committee.

Leeteuk and the cats
T: 7867 said, "recently when I talk to my brother, he always say things like 'don't want', 'no way', 'don't know', 'get out'. I wonder what's wrong with him." Ah I see people laughing outside, what's going on? Is it because I sound similar to him?
E: Sometimes Leeteuk is like that.
T: I'm really a scary person when I get angry.
E: That's true. He rarely...rarely say warm and lovely words to us. (laugh)
T: There are two cats in our hostel, but they love to go to the toilet in my room. I'm not their owner, but I always see the two cats inside my room whenever I open the door.
E: Because your room is too plain, so it looks like toilet.
T: Is it? That two cats stare at me, then I suddenly shout out 'aiyo!' This is the only way I release my anger. (laugh)
E: What do you mean by shouting 'aiyo!' at the cats? (laugh)
T: 'Aiyo!' Then the cats will 'shoo~' and leave my room.
E: Just like what we do to the kids. (laugh)
T: When I put down my bag and change clothes, they come in again, so I shout 'aiyo!' and they'll 'shoo~' and leave. (laugh)
E: Why are you doing this to the cats that can't talk? (laugh)
T: No...because I can't scold them with words.
E: Under such situation, dogs will shake their tails, then I'll feel sorry and think that they're cute.
T: I sometimes talk to the cat also. I said, "live as a cat, you must suffered a lot."
E: Leeteuk you're suffering more than the cats. 'Aiyo!'
T: (laugh) I think maybe they just want to come in and play with me?
E: Probably. 'That oppa is so funny.' (laugh)
*He didn't mention the cat names, but I guess it has to be Heechul's cats. lol.
( eunhyuk is the scariest, best driving anchovy, leeteuk has anime dreams and kyuhyun's quick-witted. what's new? )
