Hallyu Stars Link Arms for Japan
2011-03-13 05:52 am
Hallyu stars have linked arms to help with the damages in Japan. Having received much love from their neighboring country, they have started relief efforts for this sad reality.
( SARANG )
One Hallyu-star entertainment agency stated "Japan is where the Hallyu-stars made their money, I think it's a definite that we should repay them back and help in every way possible." Another, "The recent earthquake damages can negatively impact (shrink) the Hallyu wave and are not of help to anyone. Just as Hallyu came about as a result of cultural exchange (literally, 'an exchange of heart'), we must do what we can to deliver our hearts to them" (Thanks

This week will be the last week fans will be able to see G-Dragon smash a guitar on stage for “Tonight,” as the group will no longer be putting on their special ‘guitar performance’ in favor of changing up their routine.
YG Entertainment revealed that this week’s episode of SBS’s “Inkigayo” will be the last of the guitar smashing, and reasoned, “We can’t show the same performance every time. We’re currently planning something new to take the place of the guitar performance. It’ll be a new choreography, we won’t be breaking anything else.”
The guitar performance was said to have begun as G-Dragon‘s idea for the acoustic segment of the song. After listening, he asked himself, “Should I just break it?”
When asked about the guitars that were broken, and whether they were new, YG officials responded, “They are, of course, new. Before every stage, we bought new guitars, and each are worth about $150 USD.”
