X-5 Leader feels short - and he's 6 feet tall.

[yunho.livejournal.com]

X-5’s average height is 186cm. They really can be called ‘tall-dols’ and ‘model-dols’. Although the leader, Ghun, is 183cm, he is the shortest in X-5. Ghun laughed and said, “When the members came together at first, they were all tall. They weren’t short and seemed reliable. However, when I stood between them, I looked short. Honestly, I have no choice but to wear slipsoles. If I don’t wear them, the height difference is really noticeable. I’m standing in the middle because of my height, but if I take off my slipsoles, the middle part (T/N: of their line up) will have a dip in it.”

Goddess Nana Is The Perfect Picnic Partner

[elementalranger.livejournal.com]

In a monthly survey by SBS’s “Inkigayo“, participating artists were asked to choose a female idol that they would like to go on a spring picnic with. After School’s Nana was revealed to have taken first place in the female singer category, while Orange Caramel took first place for the girl group category.

It looks like the girls of Orange Caramel, Nana in particular, are really rising in popularity.

One representative said, “Every staff member and male singer ran to the bulletin board to vote for Nana. She is really popular because of her doll-like face.”

Netizens wrote, “I want to go on a spring picnic with her too”, “The music world is obsessed with Nana as well”, “She is popular everywhere. I am so jealous”

Fabulous Interview with Flawless Maknae

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

Girls' Generation Seohyun greeted me, blinking her round and black eyes. When I handed her a picture of brain map, she showed excitement by saying it's a fun interview. But she started thinking right away.

Seohyun apologized in advance, "Usually, when I receive this, I can't fill this out quickly". What did she write down as her recent interest after thinking? We explored her brain.

"What is justice?"
Recently, Seohyun was deeply moved by reading a book 'Justice: What's the right thing to do?' by Harvard professor Michael Sandel.
While she was reading the book, she constantly asked herself, 'Am I going into right path?' and 'Am I acting according to my beliefs?'.

Seohyun thinks a lot and has careful personality, that she definitely might have concern about obvious things. As a woman in early 20's, she said she lives life asking philosophical questions, setting her own rules.

"Parents, Soshi unnies, fans, I love you"
Parents, the reason why she exists, 2nd family Girls' Generation that she was able to choose, and fans, are who she loves the most. Seohyun stated that these three are most important to Seohyun and need to be thanked.

"Future singer songwriter?"
Recently, Seohyun is deeply into composing songs and lyrics. She said when she listens to new music, she starts composing new songs by her instinct. It's wrong to think girl group just dances to choreography made in advance and pursues music that only becomes one hit wonders.
There are people like Seohyun who searches deeply looking for meaning of music.

On last night’s episode of SBS’s “Night After Night,” ballad king K. Will cleared rumors that he impersonated Big Bang’s Daesung. K. Will claimed that it was all just a misunderstanding and stated, “There is no way I could ever pretend to be Daesung. It doesn’t make sense. However, there was an instance where a fan confused me for him. The person firmly believed I was him that it didn’t feel right to mess up the person’s mood by correcting him.”

JYJ's Yoochun blocked from public broadcast..again?

[unreal.livejournal.com]

JYJ's Yoochun was recently confirmed to be starring in the new MBC drama, "Ripley" (formerly "Goodbye Miss Ripley") alongside veteran actress Lee Dahae. However, the entire cast was recently barred from appearing on MBC's variety show, "Come to Play".

According to multiple broadcasting sources, the main cast consisting of Park Yoochun, Lee Dahae, Kang Hyejung and Kim Seungwoo were scheduled to appear on "Come to Play" since last month, but ultimately, the plan "misfired."

Representatives of "Come to Play" revealed their reason, which is that the chances of the four celebrities appearing on the show was already unlikely because one of the main cast, Kim Seungwoo, is an MC on KBS's "Win Win," which is a competitor of MBC's "Come to Play." However, Kim Seungwoo demonstrated his strong will to appear on "Come to Play," but MBC still did not budge.

Similarly, MBC's entertainment show "Entertainment Section TV" was supposed to run an interview of the main cast from the filming location on April 29th, but that was ultimately cancelled too. Instead, only MBC's "Feel Good Day" and "Entertainment Plus" conducted the interviews. However, MBC's "Feel Good Day" is considered a liberal arts/cultural program and not a variety show.

Usually, entertainment shows will follow through with interviews at filming sets for dramas from their own company. Also, "Entertainment Section TV" had the "Ripley" interview in their schedule yet suddenly cancelled, drawing even more questions.

"Entertainment Section TV" attempted to discuss their reasoning for the cancellation, saying they were "flooded with things to broadcast," but internal sources are saying that it was actually SM Entertainment "exercising their influence." A variety show PD, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, "Why ask questions when you know everything? We also have to read between the lines and be aware of their intentions."

Due to the ongoing lawsuit with SM Entertainment, Park Yoochun could barely appear on broadcasts when his previous drama, KBS's "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" was airing. He ultimately appeared on some news shows, but still can not overcome the barrier that is blocking him from variety shows.*

*Note: Korean broadcast stations have three major departments: News, Variety and Music. Each department is rather separate from each other and have their own ability to make decisions.

France is a Country in Europe

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

Hundreds of French fans gathered in front of the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday demanded an extension of a Korean pop concert, symbolizing the spread of the Korean Wave beyond Asia and into Europe.

Around 200 diehard K-pop fans picketed while dancing to Korean pop tunes for over an hour in front of the museum, demanding that a concert by TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, SHINee and f(x) scheduled for June 10 be extended for another day.

The 6,000 tickets for the concert sold out in just 15 minutes online. SM Entertainment, the organizer, is considering an unscheduled additional concert on June 9 to reward the enthusiasm of the French fans.

miss A’s “Love Alone” takes #1 on real-time music charts

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

miss A’s new song, “Love Alone”, has been receiving a hot response since its release, crowning itself at the top spots of real-time music charts.

“Love Alone” was released around noon on May 2nd, and it reached the #1 spot on music sites like Bugs."

The next day, on May 3rd, it took #1 on the daily charts of Bugs, Daum Music, Dosirak, and monkey3, while placing in the Top 10 of others. This deed has surprised many as the song it’s not miss A’s official comeback track and it was completely recorded in English to keep the feeling of the original. The song was composed by German producer Fuego and written by Ursula Yancy.

“Love Alone” is a trendy dance-pop song that expresses an intense love for a man with impressive straightforward lyrics. The song will be part of miss A’s performance at Kim Yuna’s “KCC Switzen All That Skate Spring 2011” to be held from May 6 thru 8 at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium.

On this show miss A will appear as special guest. They’ll perform “Love Alone” for the first time, after Kim Yuna’s performance of Beyonce’s “Fever." They will then move on to the finale with a “Bad Girl Good Girl” and “Breathe” remix, where all the skaters of the show will take the stage. Fans will also be able to enjoy the ice skating show of the 8th, live on SBS at 6:00PM (KST).

miss A were quoted saying they were very pleased to make their new album’s song public through Kim Yuna’s show. They also said they would show the best stage possible and were working hard for everyone to anticipate something different.

Meanwhile, the group is expected to release their first full length album at the end of May in Korea, and later in Chinese areas. The album will include “Love Alone” and other dance songs, including their unannounced official promotional track produced by JYP. They are also expected to impress once again with their fun choreography for their title track, just like their previous hits.

After School discusses their admissions and graduation system

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

Although it’s a familiar concept in other music markets, After School was the first to debut with a unique admissions and graduation concept in Korea.

It’s a genius system for the agencies themselves, since what better way to test out the potential of their trainees than by adding them as a rookie to an already established group?

Unfortunately, the ones that must directly endure this system are the members themselves. Although there hasn’t been a formal departure yet (aside from Yoo So Young’s leave), one can only imagine the emotional and mental stress this puts on the relationships between the members.

apparently south america is part of sm's world map too now

[dorkiilove.livejournal.com]

 "This time, it's South America!"

TVXQ, BoA, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, f(x) and other SM Entertainment artists are preapring for a tour in South America. According to SM Entertainment representatives, the company is currently planning to hold a series of "SM Town Live" concerts in South American countries such as Brazil and Chile in July.

The South American tour has been in the planning stage since last year, when SM Entertainment artists embarked on the "SM Town World Tour" and held an unforgettable concert in Los Angeles, USA.

Due to the popularity of Kpop and SM Entertainment artists in South America, the company plans to tap into this untouched market with a series of concerts in the continent. In February, a Brazilian program asked viewers "Which Korean singer do you want to come to Brazil?" and SM Entertainment artists dominated the results, with Super Junior, BoA, SNSD and SHINee taking the #1 to #4 spots.

SM Entertainment is already taking major steps in making their mark in foreign countries, as it was recently announced that on June 10th, SM artists will hold "SM Town in Paris" and mark the continent's first Kpop concert ever. Tickets for the show sold out within 15 minutes and large-scale protests are happening all over Europe for SM Entertainment to add another concert date.

Last year, SM Town held concerts in Los Angeles, Shanghai, Seoul and Tokyo. This year, SM Entertainment will expand into two continents that Kpop artists have never stepped into, Europe and South America.

SM Entertainment representatives stated, "SM's ripple effect is really amazing. They have already taken over USA, China and Japan and are now accomplishing the unheard precedent of going to Europe and South America. Isn't this the path of a true 'World Star'?"

The actress showcased her healthy and voluminous beauty while shooting a CF for Nexon.

In the photo, her innocent, baby-like face contrasts with her glamorous body, which makes her ‘bagel girl’ nickname all the more appropriate.

After seeing the picture, netizens commented, “The textbook ‘bagel girl’”, “You look really young”, “It’s nice to see your healthy beauty.”

The actress is currently starring in MBC’s “Sparkling” as a Paris Hilton wannabe, ‘Hwang Mi Ran’. She was recently chosen to be a spokesmodel for 10 brands, and is quickly on the rise to becoming the ‘next CF Queen’.

jang geun suk beats your more deserving unnies

[a-perfect-shade.livejournal.com]

Actor and singer Jang Keun-suk's debut Japanese song topped the Oricon singles chart in the first week of its release. Oricon News reported that Jang's single "Let Me Cry" ranked first on the weekly chart with sales of 119,000 copies in the first week since its launch on April 27.

Jan is the first foreigner to achieve the feat and the first male solo artist to do so in more than 30 years. He also surpassed the achievement of his compatriot Ryu Si-won, whose debut song "Sakura" ranked second in the first week of its release in April 2005.

In the latest weekly chart, second place went to Korea's Girls' Generation with their third Japanese single "Mr. Taxi/Run Devil Run," which was released on the same day as Jang's.

The last time the top two spots were swept by Korean stars was in October 2008 when TVXQ's "Mirotic" and actor Lee Byung-hun's first Japanese single "Itsuka" ranked first and second, respectively.

Bekah Answers The Question Everyone Was Asking

[elementalranger.livejournal.com]

Fans may have noticed by now that Bekah has been missing from After School’s “Let’s Step Up” performances. The girls have been earning headlines left and right for their impressive step dance routine, but where is Bekah?

Bekah herself recently revealed through Sports Chosun, “I injured my ankle last year, which was why I was in the States. I recently injured it again during practice and wasn’t able to recover enough to perform our step dance routine. It requires surgery, but my schedule overlapped with our comeback so I had to push back my surgery date. I’m currently taking medication and am feeling better. It is upsetting that I wasn’t able to join the dance since I worked hard for it, but it’s okay because I’m able to rap on stage.”

She continued, “Fortunately, ‘Shampoo‘ doesn’t have an intense choreography like our previous promotions so there aren’t any difficulties for me. It’s been nearly a year since I’ve last stood on stage, so I’m both nervous and happy. I promise to work hard from here on out.”
