Tablo’s Stanford graduation controversy finally put to rest?

Tablo’s Stanford academic proof was finally verified through an ‘MBC Special‘ episode on Tablo’s graduation controversy that aired on October 1st.

On this broadcast, Tablo and the producers traveled directly to Stanford and met with the registrar, who printed out and analyzed Tablo’s academic transcript. Through this, it was finally revealed that all transcripts submitted by Tablo were in fact true.

During the episode, Tablo had an interview with the producers of the show, revealing the feelings and opinions he has been hiding until now. Tablo said,

“How bad I must’ve looked.. How.. how half-decently I must’ve looked like I’ve been living…”

He continued, “It really took me 5-6 years to receive acceptance and love from people, but losing all of that took less than a day.”

( God bless you, Tablo )

Gumiho Girlfriend goes out on top

[soribreak.livejournal.com]

The ratings switched around for Thursday’s drama broadcasts, placing SBS’s fantasy-romantic-comedy series My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho in first place with a 19.9% as the drama concluded its run. (No spoilers in this post.) KBS’s action-comedy Runaway Plan B slipped a few percentage points but maintained a strong showing with a 17.9%.

Runaway had been the winner just the day before with a 20.7% premiere, but looks like a lot of people were curious about the fate of Gumiho‘s “hoi couple” (Shin Mina and Lee Seung-gi), and wanted to see if we would get our happy ending or not.

I’m pretty sure Runaway will be back solidly on top next week — even though that’s when SBS’s new challenger, Daemul, premieres.

The good news even extends toward perennial last-place drama Playful Kiss, which managed a relatively high 7.5% for its tenth episode. That means both My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho and Playful Kiss recorded their series highs, making it a pretty good showing all around.

CNBlue #1 on Oricon indie, KARA #2 on Oricon best album

CNBLUE & KARA: Reaching New Heights On The Oricon Charts

Being a k-pop star isn't only about dominating Korea's music charts anymore. Many idol groups are eyeing out foreign markets with one of the most appealing targets being the neighboring country, Japan. Just weeks or months ago, girl idol groups were entering the Japanese music market, and breaking records by making it into the top ten. As if that wasn't an achievement in and of itself, a Korean group has now officially snatched away the coveted number one slot.

After releasing their second single, "I Don't Know Why" in Japan on September 16th, CNBLUE saw their song climb to NUMBER ONE on the Oricon weekly Indies Singles Chart on September 27th. Their first single, "The Way", released last June also is faring well, holding down the seventh spot. For those unfamiliar with The Oricon Charts, they are equivalent to The Billboards in the U.S.

( More on CNBlue here )

It's not just CNBLUE repping Korea well in Japan. KARA has also reached an incredible feat; hitting number two on the Oricon Best Album Charts.

After debuting in the foreign country in August, their debut single "Mister" reached fifth on the Oricon Weekly Charts, marking them as the first foreign Asian girl group to enter into the top ten. Also, 18,223 copies of their compilation album, "KARA BEST 2007-2010", were sold on the very first day of sales. That was a big enough figure to place them at number two on the daily Oricon Album Sales Charts. They were only behind one of the top singers in Japan, JUJU, who sold 19,974 copies of her album "Request". This is the best a Korean girl group has ever done in Japan.

‘Idol vs Talented’: Korea-Japan's different views on CNBLUE

[intrakaos.livejournal.com]

( Full article here )

The Warner Music Japan representative also said, “For a Korean band doing rock music and active as a band in Japan, with a result of reaching #1 in an Oricon Indie Chart with concerts always selling out, this is a great achievement.” “Their potential and talent is clearly seen,” he praised.

The CNBLUE members appearance and height is just as good as the other handsome idol groups and is therefore known as an ‘Idol Band’, however they are also a talented band as the members actually do play their instruments and also write and compose their own music. And because of this, CNBLUE is recognized more as a ‘Musician’ rather then a ‘Star’.

This is late, but I just watched the video for Light Ahead today and it is seriously beautiful and should not be ignored :( The PVs for Tokyo Lady and Kiss & Cry are terrible, but the songs aren't bad... Also, mini-album my ass. Why did they have to repeat 3 tracks from her first album? They should have put some instrumentals or remixes on instead if they really didn't want to add more new tracks.
And mods, there are some weird spaces in the preview and I don't know why they're there but I'm kind of inclined to just leave them because I don't know how to get rid of them ;-;

FT Island’s lead vocal Lee Hong Ki will make a cameo appearance in the last episode of “My Girlfriend is a Nine Tailed Fox“.

His management company disclosed that the singer will appear on the final episode of the show. They also announced that fans should look forward to seeing him on the big screen, as he takes on the leading role for the upcoming film “Moonlight Swordsman.”

Lee Hong Ki’s cameo was apparently a special inclusion by the writers, known as the Hong Sisters, who worked with him in the series “You’re Beautiful”. He stated, “I always make sure to make time to watch ‘My Girlfriend is a Nine Tailed Fox.’ I thought, of course it’s the Hong Sisters’ drama, and I was happy and honored to be part of the last recording.”

Secret's Jieun chosen as most popular with male idols

[sylviya.livejournal.com]

 MBC’s “Bouquet” recently held a poll amongst male idol groups before their recording for the “MT Best Couple Contest“, and asked 13 male idol members who they thought was the most popular female star.

The winner?

Secret’s JiEun took first, with the reason being that “She’s like a goddess when she sings ‘Madonna.’” Fellow group member Hyosung even revealed, “JiEun gets hit on the most off-stage.”

Hilariously, 4minute’s not-so-shy HyunA stepped up and asked the boy groups, “Want to date me?”

The episode will broadcast on October 3rd at 4:00 PM.

[10.10.02] Dongwan’s memolog: The view towards homosexuality [Selfishness of the majority]

[80slitenite.livejournal.com]

This is probably the typical Korean “My child is precious” syndrome.

Homosexuals are also children of parents.

There isn’t any life that isn’t precious.

This advertisement is as good as using a knife to stab the parents of homosexuals who are somewhere out there,
As good as driving the homosexuals, who want to be under daylight, towards darkness.

I’m heterosexual and can’t fully understand homosexuality.
But I know for sure homosexuality is not an illness, nor is it toxic.
It does not need treatment or medication.
Homosexuals are people who, since they were born, have been living difficult lives that others cannot understand.

What we should do is not to persecute or drive them out,
But to help them not to live the wrong way in darkness, and to give them our understanding.

The problem with this incident is not the union’s ignorance,
Just like what the writer Kim Soo Hyun said
The problem lies with the media, where even major newspapers can accept absurd advertisements as long as they are paid.
As always…

Kim Dong Wan :Tablo is the father of a child.

[dns07.livejournal.com]

Among musicians, there are people who possess perfect pitch since they were born.
There are also people who have become martial arts fighters without formal training.
There are also directors who have made great movies without scripts.
There are also people who have been called “** Prodigy” for being able to sing better than professional singers, since they were young,
And there are also people who were scouted in high school for their natural athletic prowess.

Though people like this may not always be successful in life,
But there are many people who were born with some talent or another…

Tablo, the leader of a successful hip-hop group,
Who was born with not just one or two talents
Has long been receiving much hatred
From people who believe that life can be calculated.

The controversy is not going to end.
Even if the controversy about his education comes to an end,
He will still be harassed by other controversies.

But Tablo.
As a father of a child,
As a husband of a woman,
Is enduring it all with a strong will.

p.s.
For providing leads in a lonely battle by an entertainer surrounded by prejudice
As a colleague I would like to show my sincere gratitude to MBC and PD Song Ki Yeon.

Vanilla Lucy, Bae Da Hae are unhurt from car accident

[steeele.livejournal.com]

Bae Da Hae, who recently gained unprecedented fame through the “Qualifications of Men: Chorus Special“, tweeted the safety of Vanilla Lucy members after news of their car accident surfaced. Bae Da Hae tweeted, “Fortunately we are all fine. Dont worry, we are just in shock, and no physical harm has befallen us.”

According to their HanMaek Entertainment agent, the members were on their way to the last filming for the SBS special, “Happy Because We’re Uncomfortable – Honest Trip with Vanilla Lucy“. The girls were on a toll highway when the accident occurred. Due to the large scale of the accident, they were taken to the nearest hospital to assure their safety.

The agent stated, “Although the hospital reports are much more comforting than the accident scene, we are going to take it easy for safety.”

Bae Da Hae wanted to reach out to her fans specifically instead of relying on a third party to relay Vanilla Lucy’s safety.
