fuckyeahgeneralhwang, taecyeon's me2day

i'm guessing it's for 2pm's album, i'm not one hundred percent sure though.

The sky is blue. Yoseob worries a lot.

[adropofcitrus.livejournal.com]

Idol group BEAST’s member Yang Yoseob stated “At first, I objected the guerrilla concert held in Japan on the 14th.”

On the afternoon of the 17th at a hotel restaurant in Yeoeuido, Seoul, Yang Yoseob met with enews and surprised us with this story. When we asked why, he answered “Truthfully, I had no confidence. (BEAST) is growing a lot right now, if we failed the guerrilla concert, it would have made a big impact mentally.”

Yang Yoseob said “When we first arrived at the airport in Japan, there were exactly 5 fans” and “After seeing this I thought ‘All activities were done very secretively,’”

He said “Truthfully I vaguely trusted that ‘someone in the company must have secretly posted an announcement about this.’ And I felt even more nervous.” And “I was worried that, what if we couldn’t even get a response right before the performance.”

However, on this day at Shinjuku station, around 5000 people came to watch BEAST’s guerrilla concert and the performance ended successfully. As BEAST started singing “Bad Girl” the fans started singing along to the song, the place resembling a BEAST concert.

Yang Yoseob said “I only started to relax after I saw people gathering. I was so thankful to the Japanese fans who came to watch the sudden concert” and “I think I gained more confidence for the Japanese promotions and tour performances through this performance” he stated with energy.

Meanwhile, BEAST ends their promotions for their first official album “Fiction and Fact” on the 19th on SBS “Inkigayo”. They have achieved triple crown on both cable channel Mnet ‘M!Countdown’ and KBS ‘Music Bank’, and have received many positive reponses, placing high on many online mp3 charts during their promotion period.

They plan on going to Japan on the 20th to promote ‘Bad Girl’ on site and then move on to their Asia tour and Japan tour after.

Apparently Not All Entertainment Companies Are Evil

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

The reason why I chose Liveworks is because it's a company that thinks more about how to make me brilliant...
Rather than how to promote and sell me.
Now that we're working together, I feel sorry for them...

Up until now, the companies that I've worked with, take in about 40% of the artist's opinion,
Whereas Liveworks adopts about 90% of the artist's opinion.
Although not forgetting 10% of advice...

Whether people are disappointed or happy with the paths we have taken, mostly it was us who made the decisions.
Not Liveworks, which has been working hard for us and worrying on our behalf...

He supposedly wrote this in response to the fans who are complaining about how he & Hyesung aren't being promoted/treated properly. Even if they don't get flashy promotions, at least they have creative control. Liveworks just happens to be a small company that doesn't have the same resources as the bigger ones.

[highestofhighs.livejournal.com]

After announcing her graduation earlier this week, After School’s Bekah has released new graduation photos through her fancafe and Twitter.

As promised, the graduation photos were taken with her fellow After School members.

A representative of the photoshoot said, “The graduation photoshoot was held in a positive atmosphere. All of the members wanted to be by her side and battled over who could would be able to sit next to her. After the last cut, Bekah did show tears.”

Pledis tweeted, “On the afternoon of the 18th, Bekah had a graduation party with the Pledis staff and After School members at our building in Yuksam-dong. The members and staff shared tears and laughter over past memories and everything that they couldn’t say before. Bekah also delivered messages she had prepared and revealed her plans for the future to everyone present.”

Bekah will be returning to Hawaii after concluding the group’s first album “Shampoo” promotions to focus on studying design.

SNSD's Yuri receives praise for her diet

[unreal.livejournal.com]

Recently, tvN's e News discussed Yuri's latest diet plan. The plan includes seasonal greens, five brocolli heads, 100 grams of grilled chicken breast, 150 grams of brown rice, and more. The diet weighs in at approximately 1,500 calories per day.

Yuri's trainer revealed that the reason for her new diet was SNSD's upcoming Paris and Japanese tours and promotions. He also revealed that she actively completed both aerobic and ab exercises.

On the show, nutrition experts were asked for their opinion on her latest diet. Yuri received a score of 97/100 for her diet. Lee Kyungyoung, a doctor and diet specialist, asked if Yuri also had a nutritionist working for her as well, seeing as how her diet was so well balanced. Experts added that is anchovies or shrimp were included in the diet, it would score even higher.

Since the diet consists of 1,500 calories, it is easy for non-celebrities to adopt. However, the biggest problem with Yuri's diet is that it lacks calcium. Calcium is known to help prevent osteoporosis, and females specifically in their twenties are at a high risk level for developing osteoporosis.

Check out the segment from e News on Yuri's diet, below!

DPRK vows to achieve national reunification

[unreal.livejournal.com]

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Saturday vowed to achieve national reunification with the strength of army and people, the official KCNA news agency reported.

The army and people of the DPRK will never pardon the South Korean authorities, who drove the north-south relations into an uncontrollable situation, said Kim Ki Nam, member of the Political Bureau and secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) Central Committee.

The DPRK will "launch a nationwide all-out offensive to put an end to South Korea's anti-DPRK confrontation moves and achieve the historic cause of national reunification without fail," he added.

Kim made the remarks at a national meeting held at the People's Palace of Culture on Saturday to mark the 47th anniversary of top leader Kim Jong Il's start of work at the Central Committee.

He called for further increasing the politico-ideological, military and technological might of the army, completing the work to "put all people under arms and turn the whole country into a fortress," safeguarding the country as firm as "an iron wall" through the concerted efforts of the army and people, and dynamically pushing forward socialist construction.

Kim Jong Il started his work at the WPK Central Committee on June 19, 1964.

Korea to push restructuring of universities

[unreal.livejournal.com]

4 or 5 public institutions could face enrollment cut

The government has decided to restructure underperforming universities as it struggles to come up with measures to curb skyrocketing college tuition fees.

According to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology on Thursday, the government will reduce enrollment at four or five public universities while cutting financial support for less competitive private schools.

“The ministry will increase the number of private schools subject to credit restriction from 23 to 50 next year. In line with the plan, we are to take a similar measure against public schools,” Education Minister Lee Ju-ho said Thursday during a meeting with the presidents of 31 public universities.

omg!!!!!!!!!! T-ara's Roly Poly concept pix are out!!!

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

T-ara's new album "John Travolta Wannabe" has released jacket pictures.

T-ara was shooting their new album's title song music video and jacket images for "Roly Poly" over the 18th and 19th. T-ara's agency said on the 20th that there are over 1,000 images, creating even more expectations for the new album.

According to T-ara's agency, their title track "Roly Poly" has an easy melody arrangement and choreography to follow along, and will also be able to appeal to people in their 20's-50's. It will be a reminiscence of the 70's and 80's period and will be able to cause nostalgia for some.

MBC Young 11's Seo Byunggu, who was considered the representative of disco and the hustle back in the 80s, has also been said to have taught choreography to T-ara for a month.

A total of 20 people joined on stage for T-ara's choreography. They will re-create the 70's and 80's retro dances such as the hustle, diamond dance and ABC - basically the dances that were in the movie "Saturday Night Fever" will be re-made.

Meanwhile, T-ara will comeback on July 1st and are busy preparing for their Japan debut.
