sports korea interview with total idols infinite

[ex-demands615.livejournal.com]

A challenge to go to the top with their single “Nothing’s Over”—- It’s a promise that ‘it’s not over’

Putitng in a cheerful melody with lighthearted beats—- Modified the ‘angled group dancing’, became more flexible

Netherland’s representative soccer team changed the flow of soccer in the world during 1970. Using a tactic called ‘Orange Legion’, they had all offenses and defenses with a strong fitness background, causing people to give a name of ‘total soccer’.

It wasn’t just a coincidence that I thought of these people when I saw the group, Infinite. Even after debuting, they practice for over 10 hours and are idols who have the basic skills down. They garnered attention with a high level group choreography that would be hard for any group to do. Without any mistakes, they move with coordination. The name of ‘total idols’ wouldn’t be shamed by Infinite, who are willing to sacrifice anything for their group.

Super Junior’s Kangin shares photos and his thoughts while in service

[sook.livejournal.com]

Through Korea’s army magazine, “Army Zine“, Super Junior’s Kangin revealed special photos from his days in service and shared some of the thoughts that have been running through his mind since he last updated fans of his whereabouts.

Asked to describe his feelings after entering the army, he stated, “I’m reflecting a lot on the fact that I wounded and disappointed my family and all of those who loved me before I enlisted… I go to sleep every night wondering, ‘Will I ever be loved again?”

He continued, “I’ve lost a lot of weight since then and have regained my health. My thoughts towards our nation has changed a lot as well. I feel that the citizens of our nation are able to be at ease and trust our nation because us soldiers must always work hard and never once lose focus amidst hardships.”

When asked about what he hoped to learn through his service, he revealed, “I hope to become a person that puts others before me. Someone that isn’t selfish and doesn’t think wrongful thoughts. It’s only been six months since I’ve entered, but if I were to discharge with the determination I have now, I’m sure that I’ll be able to show how much I’ve changed.”

To conclude, Kangin left a message for his fans by writing, ”Our fans! I really miss you all so much. I will be standing before you all as someone who is both healthy and confident inside and out, so that I won’t be embarrassed (of myself) when I greet you. I hope that you will wait for me, and I hope that everything you pursue will come true. Please wait for me until my discharge.”

IU shares what a guy needs to have to catch her eye + imitates Pikachu

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

Although she’s asserted that Taeyang was her final ‘ideal man’, it seems that the media can’t get enough of asking IU about her thoughts on dating and men.

While guesting on MBC FM4U’s “Radio Dreaming with Woong Dal“, IU was asked, “If someone wanted to date you, what would they have to do?”

After careful deliberation she answered, “They need to have pretty collarbones.”

Inspired, her fellow guest Yoo Sang Moo took off his jumper and showed off his collarbones to entice IU. However, she tactfully diverted the missive. “I like it when guys who used to wear clothes that are skin-tight switch to loosely-knitted clothes for some reason. Either way, I like guys with pretty collarbones.”

When asked if there was anything more to her on-set relationship with “Dream High” co-star, 2PM’s Wooyoung, she said, “We just went to eat along with my manager Cody, but it’s become a big deal. We went to eat at the family restaurant, and ate rib eye at another time, but Wooyoung paid both times.”

Later, the star sang her hit song “The Story Only I Didn’t Know” live on the air, which drew many praises from the listeners.

Song Joong Ki reflects on filming his first “Running Man” episode

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

‘Aggressive Joong Ki‘ reflected on filming his first episode with the cast of SBS’s “Running Man” in a recent interview with Newsen. “When I first began filming for ‘Running Man,’ I was severely nervous because it was my first time on a variety show. I never had any idea what to do and I barely got any sleep the night before recordings,” he expressed.

WIth a laugh, he continued, “But with every new recording, I became closer with the members, and now it doesn’t even feel like I’m recording, it just feels like I’m here to play.”

At the mention of his teamwork with the other members, he stated, “If we weren’t close to one another, the show would be awkward. We chat and joke around during break, and I think that energy carries over to the show in creating a lot of fun and natural cuts.” Whether or not the camera is rolling, he revealed, laughter is unending on the set of the show.

Producers of the show commented, “He’s really aggressive. Despite it being his first variety show appearance, he adjusted quickly, which surprised all of us. He’s basically the maknae of the ‘Running Man’ members, and really does receive a lot of love from the cast and the crew for it. The few times where he’s lacking is actually charming to us. Not only is he close with his cast members, but all of the staff members as well.”

YGE releases info regarding new Big Bang album!

Big Bang appears to be dead-set on making 2011 their year, as they’ve just announced plans for another album release!

On March 17th, representatives of YG Entertainment spoke through Star News and revealed, “Big Bang will be promoting in Korea a lot this year, and are currently preparing for a new album that will surprise fans.”

According to YGE, Big Bang plans to head straight back into the recording studio once they wrap up their “Tonight” promotions and their upcoming Japanese tour. It’s also being reported that the boys will work hand-in-hand with huge international producers.

The representatives continued, “Any music fan will be able to recognize who these producers are just by the mention of their names. They’re well-known figures in the U.S. and Europe, and we’ve been in contact with them for a while now. After we finalize the list of producers Big Bang will be working with, they’ll be going straight into their album production.”

Yang Hyun Suk added, “We’re currently in contact with about 10 producers known worldwide in order to produce their next album. Their labelmates, 2NE1, previously worked with Will.I.Am, and Big Bang will be doing just that with another famous European producer. Because Big Bang has their own producer within the group - G-Dragon - the album will be a type of collaboration between the international producers and G-Dragon.”

Cho PD praises BigBang and Gdragon

[iamteenuh.livejournal.com]

 

 Producer and rapper Cho PD expressed praises for Big Bang and G-Dragon on the 16th.
Cho PD exclaimed, “Idol singers like Big Bang possess the ability of being musicians.” Rarely do idol groups these days possess members that produce their own music like Big Bang does.

About G-Dragon he said, “Since in many ways Big Bang has evolved out of being an idol with the abilities they possess as musicians, G-Dragon can be counted as the main representative for this.“

Cho PD’s praises towards Big Bang came rather as a surprise to many, especially because he praised G-Dragon who he has “dissed” in the past through many of his songs.

Some of his dissing raps towards G-Dragon and Big Bang:
“Cho PD bigger bang, GD’s favorite one cuz i got the slow flow and fast flow all in one package.”
“For a long time we big dogs we bigger bang than big bang, na mean? If I call someone out just like this, of course they wouldn’t keep still. Everyone knows how I am when I get pissed off every now and then. I would run away if my flows were as slow as yours.”
