Queen Kahi Reveals Difficulties In Being Leader Of After School

[elementalranger.livejournal.com]

After School’s leader Kahi shed tears while confessing that “Being the leader was so difficult“.

The May 20th broadcast of tvN’s “50 Million Great Questions” saw After School come on set to candidly share their personal stories.

At one point, an expert referred to Kahi and said, “She probably has had greater hardships because she was the leader.” When Kahi heard this, she began to cry as she reminisced on all the hard times.

She revealed,

“Honestly, a while back, there was so much weight to carry as the leader, and the position of leader became very difficult. But lately, I’ve let go of some of the burdens and have taken my members hand-in-hand to get rid of the hardships together.

The time I had to wait to become a singer was long, and so more than anybody else, I suffered from the obsession of having to be successful.“

After hearing Kahi’s heartfelt confession, her fellow members began to tear up as well as they expressed, “By helping leader Kahi-unni, we will turn into a more tightly-knit girl group.”

Meanwhile, this show’s theme revolved around the question of, “If After School is to become the girl group role model in 10 years, what should they do?“. The members talked about their recent heartaches and rumors regarding Bekah’s leave. This program also marked E-Young’s first variety show appearance.

I'm going to be so sad when she leaves, although her solo was really good.

LeeU is leaving F.CUZ

[yejun.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone, this is CAN Entertainment speaking.

First, we would like to thank all the fans who have been supporting F.cuz all this time, and we are very sorry about having to announce this bad news to all the fans. The reason for this particular notice is because we want to notify all the fans that F.cuz’s Lee U (Lee Seung Hyun) will be withdrawing from the group.

F.cuz was created based on CAN’s entertainers Kim Jin Chul (Jinon), Choi Yong Hak (KAN), Shim Ye Jun (Ye Jun), and Castle J Enterprise’s entertainer Lee Seung Hyun (Lee U).

They have been through a long period of training, and finally ended their difficult, stressful yet joyful training days by debuting on January 8th, 2010, officially starting their activities under the name F.cuz. During this period of time, not only did F.cuz worked on their activities in Korea, but they also traveled to Japan and Taiwan, expanding their activities oversea. Also, they have been working extremely hard due to their wish to become better for their fans.

However, beginning this year, both sides of the management agencies have been seeing Lee U’s solo activities as well as his music preferations differently. After many discussions, they have, unfortunately, even came to discussing about withdrawing Lee U from F.cuz. Related entertainment agencies expressed that, in order for the 4 member group to continue their activities together, they could not find any solutions to this other than what they have been previously discussing about. And Lee Seung Hyun have made this very same decision after a long while of tough consideration. At the end, their management agencies decided to respect Lee U’s decision, therefore announcing the news that Lee Seung Hyun will be withdrawing from the group.

To all the fans who have been loving and caring for F.cuz until now, we would like to apologize deeply.

We will hope for a new member to join F.cuz with lots of potential, and the hope for F.cuz to start fresh again. We would also hope for the fans to support the brand new F.cuz and the future of Lee Seung Hyun.

We would like to once again deeply apologize for this piece of news, CAN Entertainment (Entertainment that will definitely become better).

Aziatix dominates "soul" and "R&B" charts with their first EP album

[unreal.livejournal.com]

It has only been three days since Aziatix released their debut EP and they have already been experiencing incredible success. Since its release, Aziatix has been rising on the iTunes charts, placing in the top 10 on the "soul" and "R&B" charts in the US and Europe. It has also reached number 8 in Canada and 11 in Australia. In addition, their recently revealed song, "Cold," has placed first on the Cyworld Pop R&B Chart, while their debut song, "Go," placed third. Prior to this, "Go," had been number one on Cyworld's R&B charts for 12 consecutive days.

The EP, "Cold," consists of their hit song, “Go,” an R&B track that conveys the tension and anxiety of the members starting on their journey. It follows up with the track, "Cold," which discusses a one-sided romance between the guys and a female. The EP then follows up with two songs that were performed at their debut showcase in New York City, “Whatchu know about us” and “Another Day.” Last week, "Whatchu Know About Us" was also uploaded to the radio station, Z100, for fans to listen to. The album ends with a completely new song, “Start It Again,” which has yet to be promoted.

Wonder Girls in V magazine!

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Korean pop culture is sweeping through Asia like a viral media takeover, and its next stop may very well be the U.S.A. Meet the Wonder Girls: Ye-Eun, Yu-Bin, Sun-Ye, So-Hee, and Hye-Rim. Singing their way from an intimidating audition for music mogul J.Y. Park to the colossial stage of Beijing’s Bird Nest Stadium--and opening slots for Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers--the Girls were the first Korean act to chart a single on the Billboard Hot 100. For its first stateside release, the group reached out to top American record producers for a “retro-modern feel.”
