G-Dragon picked YoonA as his ideal girl

[iamteenuh.livejournal.com]

 

On ‘Ideal-Type-World-Cup’, G.Dragon picked YoonA as his ideal type over the other 3 SNSD members – Tiffany, SooYoung, and Hyoyeon.

On the episode of “Strong Heart” aired on the 22nd, G.Dragon revealed an incident that happened during his friend’s birthday. He went bowling with his friends, and because he was drunk, he performed a comical dance [막춤 (makchum)] in front of SNSD.

G.Dragon stated “I’m not really close with SNSD members. However, when I heard afterwards that I danced in front of YoonA, Tiffany, HyoYeon, and SooYoung, I was pretty surprised. I’m not usually a person who would do those kind of things.”

As Kang Hodong was listening the story, he asked G.Dragon who, amongst YoonA, Tiffany, SooYoung, and HyoYeon, is his ideal type.

G.Dragon picked YoonA as the final winner. Upon the request of a video message, G.Dragon said “I really don’t know why they are telling me to convey this message. The last time we met at a bowling game, I made some mistakes. I’m usually not like that.”

Pedobears can play heavy metal + IU photoshoot/video

[cherrypark.livejournal.com]

Singer IU has been enjoying immense popularity, but she’s been the reigning princess amongst a particular Korean demographic of 18-30 male fans, also known as the “uncle fans“. In an interview, she guessed that it was probably her cute, “girl next door image” that started the craze.

We’ve recently come across a special song created and mixed by these IU devotees, which seems to best embody their obsession with IU. This Metallica-inspired theme song carrie intense guitar riffs, rockin’ drums, and a hysterical chorus where they scream “IU” repeatedly. One line sums it up the best: “Women like TVXQ, we like IU!”

4minute Jiyoon has a handsome no.1 fan

[velvetsunglass.livejournal.com]

Soccer player Kim Dongsub recently revealed that his favorite girl group member was 4minute's Jeon Jiyoon.

During an interview with Ilgan Sports, he declared "On stage, she wore sunglasses and I didn't know she was really that cute since she was wearing them while performing. A while ago, I saw 4minute at Gimpo airport. I immediately went to them and asked them to take a picture together. However, their manager said I couldn't. If I had been a famous soccer player, it would have been possible. I will have to work harder."

When he was asked what his favorite song was, Kim Dongsub picked 4minute's I My Me Mine (Japanese ver.).

In addition, to the question "What would you if you were going to die tomorrow?", he answered "I would take a picture with 4minute. I really wanted to take one back then."

Kim Dongsub plays for the Gwangju FC in the K-League.

Big Bang also shared some stories about their production process, including bits about their time in the States, G-Dragon’s production style, Daesung falling asleep while acting, and the tension they feel as their comeback date nears.

Their second recording will be held on February 23rd and will focus on their new tracks; this time, only the production team will be allowed inside.

2NE1 Park Jenny Bom under attack due to her weight

[velvetsunglass.livejournal.com]

Pictures of 2NE1's Bom from the MTV-Daum Music Fest has been flying around the Internet, rousing confusion amongst netizens. In the photos, she is showing off her slender legs with a tight black minidress, but her legs earned only half the attention.

Fans were alarmed to see her upper body contrast completely with her lower body - many commented that she looked extremely skinny at the legs, but that she looked clumsy and dense above the waist. Most fans' attentions were brought to her jawline. The sharp jawline she had showed off only a short time ago had completely disappeared and her round face had come back.

When fans saw this they said, "How can her legs be so thin and her upper body so large?" and "I guess all her weight goes to her chin first." Other said, "this isn't just different, it's shocking," "She's sorta cute even with that weight," and "Is she already experiencing the yoyo effects of her diet?"

Big Bang’s “Tonight” MV to premiere at “Big Show” + new album doing well on itunes

[kishikiari.livejournal.com]

The explosion caused by Big Bang’s comeback is just getting bigger. Not only have they shattered records for their mini-album pre-orders, they’ve also achieved an ‘all-kill’ on the top real-time charts in Korea (Soribada, Melon, Dosirak, Bugs and Cyworld). Now, the boys are storming up the charts in America as they’re currently positioned at #12 on the itunes album chart (#6 on the Pop album chart)! Very impressive and this shows that they have a strong fan base overseas.

In addition, the YG-Life official blog has recently added a new entry stating that the MV for “Tonight” will premiere at the “2011 Big Show” concert, which will be held from February 25th to the 27th. It will also air during the SBS Comeback special on February 27th, so we should expect the official MV to go online around that time as well.

'TONIGHT' is not your average oppars and unnie's song

[kbangz.livejournal.com]

Big Bang is back. And it is for the first time in two years. During those two years, G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung have established themselves in their respective fields of music. Together they are Big Bang but separately can produce results like G-Dragon and T.O.P’s duo unit album “GD&TOP” and Taeyang’s solo album “Solar.” That is probably why the release of their album in two years is drawing so much attention. So what has this group composed of five stars come to us with this time? Big Bang gave “10Asia” a preview of “TONIGHT” from their upcoming mini-album set for release February 24.

Ock Juhyun - "For me, it’s not productive to think about the mistakes I’ve made in the past."

[tippani.livejournal.com]

Singer Ock Joo-hyun has faced some fairly nasty criticism in her relatively short life. But she’s managed to rise above it all while also building a career as one of the best emerging musical theater actresses in the nation.

Over the past five years, the 30-year-old former lead singer of the girl group Fin.K.L. has consistently received positive reviews for her performances in musicals such as “Chicago” and “Cats.”

She is currently starring in the Korean version of “Aida.” But the performance run, like her career, has not always been smooth.

( I’m not always adored, you know. I think that’s the reason why I’ve become somewhat immune to all of the criticism and scandals. )

joongangdaily

For all the people who are like "Nugu?" Ock Juhyun was a former Fin K.L. member along with Lee Hyori (obviously the most irrelevant one now), Sung Yuri (mostly acting these days) and Lee Jin (I believe she's a regular on a variety show now). A long time ago she also released a yoga video and now she's doing musicals as you can see. She's also a good friend to SNSD, especially Jessica, and she told them to go date without telling their company lol.

B2ST’s Doojoon & Kikwang introduce A Pink through a news parody

[applesncrack.livejournal.com]

B2ST’s Doojoon and Kikwang recently transformed into news anchors for a fun “breaking news” parody in order to raise hype for A Cube Entertainment’s upcoming girl group, A Pink.

In the video, Doojoon states, “This is breaking news. A Cube’s rookie girl group has been headlining for days now. Just who are they, and why are they dominating the search rankings? Let’s turn to Lee Kikwang for further details.”

Kikwang continues, “The entire situation began when an internet article about a naming competition for A Cube’s rookie girl group first went up. The fact that the competition is heating up proves that they’ve definitely earned the attention.”

After introducing how to participate, they exclaim, “Everything will be revealed through channel Trendy!”

Kikwang then turns to Doojoon and laughs while stating, “I already saw them at our agency.“ Doojoon asks back, “Are they pretty? Pretty?”

A Pink is currently scheduled to be revealed on a day next month, and they recently unveiled three of the seven members through various B2ST featurings and photo teasers.

IU arrives late for “Dream High” concert, fails to apologize for delays

On February 25th, posts on various internet community boards revealed that IU was an hour late for her performance at the “Dream High” concert. Netizens are furious over the fact that she wasn’t just late – she had also failed to apologize to the audience for her delay.

According to these netizens, the event was put on hold because of IU, which ended with some fans being forced to return home without being able to experience the entire concert line-up. Some of the concertgoers were of a younger age, and so they had to skip the rest of the concert in order to meet their curfews.

IU’s representatives deny exaggerated reports from “Dream High” concert

With IU’s late arrival for the “Dream High” concert causing a furor on the internet, the marketing team of “Dream High” spoke with Donga News and revealed that the reports were exaggerated.

They stated, “It is true that IU was late, but she was only 20 minutes late, not one or two hours like some reports have stated. We gave notice of the time change to 8:30 PM a few days before the concert, and notified singers to arrive by 9:00 PM, since gagwoman Bae Young Hee would be performing from 8:30 to 9:00 PM. The concert began at 9:20, and IU was only late for 20 minutes.”

They continued, “The reason for the concert time being changed was not because of IU’s other schedules; rather, it was because of her drama filming. IU worked hard on her morning rehearsal, and the internet blew the entire situation out of proportion.”

Lee Hyori has officially become a vegetarian

[kishikiari.livejournal.com]

Talented idol singer, model, and actress, Lee Hyori, recently announced that she’s becoming a full-fledged vegetarian.

On the 24th, officials from Lee Hyori’s agency spoke with Star News and stated, “It has been almost two full months since Lee Hyori last ate meat. She’s doing this for plenty of reasons, one being to keep her health in check. She only eats a small amount of seafood from time to time.”

Another major reason that led Lee Hyori to become a vegetarian was her active participation with agencies that take care of stray animals. Lee Hyori joined forces with KARA (not to be confused with the girl group – Korea Animal Right Advocates) late last year to prevent animal abuse.

Ironically, Lee Hyori became an ambassador and official spokesperson with a Korean Beef company last year, however her participation with the company recently ended.

Korean Queen is the victim of bad photoshop; still perfect though

[jibegajima.livejournal.com]

An advertisement photo of Brown Eyed Girls’ Ga-In has become a hot topic online.
Recently, on a portal site bulletin, the above picture was uploaded under the title, “Photoshop of Ga-In is too severe.”
In this diet advertisement, Ga-In is seen showing off her slim figure for the camera. But netizens are attacking the picture because her legs were overly-elongated on photoshop.

They expressed,“I like Ga-In nuna, but this is too much”, “With this, she’ll probably be over 170cm”, and “Actually, I laughed a lot after seeing this picture.”
