Rainbow’s maknae Hyunyoung has caught the attention of netizens for her dramatic weight loss.
Fans already knew that she was a bit chubby during her trainee years and that she went through intense dieting before her debut. Since then, she’s been going through the yo-yo effect that naturally comes with dieting. For Rainbow’s “To Me” comeback, however, Hyunyoung revealed that she buckled down with determination to lose it all once and for all.

SM Entertainment and Avex Taiwan have been working together for half year on the project of opening an SME exclusive store in Taipei, and the day is finally coming as Avex Taiwan announced today that the store will be opened in July.
SME artists including SNSD, Super Junior, DBSK are probably the most popular K-Pop stars in Taiwan at the moment; the explosive popularity is amazing.
As fans are sad about Super Junior’s Siwon and Donghae’s leaving after finishing filming for the Taiwanese drama “Extravagant Challenge,” this great news revealed by SME and Avex Taiwan made fans all light up again. This shop would be the first SME exclusive store outside of Korea; all SME artists’ official products will be available here, and the location is at the heart of Taipei city which would be easy to access.

In addition to the opening of the exclusive store, the anticipated “Super Show3 3D” film will hit theaters in Taiwan on August 26th. SME is surely dominating Taiwan, at least this summer!

In honor of Jung Yong Hwa and Seo Hyun, the fan club donated books and school supplies to the Rajvithi Home for Girls. The Bangkok based Rajvithi Home for Girls was first established as an orphanage in 1890. Since then the Rajvithi cares for underprivileged girls from broken and/or poverty-stricken homes.
These girls are either orphaned or have no legal guardian and have little access to formal education, basic medical care, or social activities. The YongSeo Thailand donated these supplies to show their spirit and support for the goguma couple (aka sweet potato couple) from their Thai fans.
Jung Yong Hwa and Seo Hyun received much love as a make-believe married couple in the hit series “We Got Married.” Despite “splitting” back in April, the two have been gaining more and more fans internationally.
Meanwhile, Jung Yong Hwa is busy filming his new youth melodrama "Heartstrings," which premieres tonight on MBC. Seo Hyun is also busy performing with fellow Girls' Generations members in Japan for the first ever Japanese arena tour.

Birdie Buddy may not air afterall
2011-06-29 05:15 pm
Cable channel tvN previously announced that they had picked up After School’s UEE’s golf drama, ‘Birdie Buddy‘. Unfortunately, they may not be airing it after all.
On June 28th, the productions staff for the drama said, “We are discussing over everything optimistically but it has not been confirmed 100%. We are open to all possibilities at the moment.”
Until now, the makers scheduled for an August release date on tvN. The contract covered many details, which is why it was true that the whole deal had been thoroughly and positively planned. Unfortunately, they have reached some difficulties with the final signings because of the way cable scheduling works.
The production staff said, “When we were contracting with UEE, we promised a major network. We need to figure it out with UEE’s company. This is not a big problem so we think it won’t cause a huge damage on the final contract.”
The drama already has faced a lot of hardship, so this is definitely another hurdle to jump over.

Taeyeon is the most desirable idol
2011-06-29 05:46 pm
Famous Arranger and Composer, Don Spike thinks Taeyeon is the most desirable idol.
Meeting with reporters at CJ E&M Center in Sangam-dong on June 29th, Don Spike said, “Taeyeon can really sing well. Although I’ve never seen her singing live before, I thought she has an outstanding vocal after listening to her recorded song”. Don Spike was the arranger for Kim BumSoo-Taeyeon’s duet ‘Different’.
Don Spike revealed, “During recording, you can hear a singer’s actual voice clearly. Without other effects or mixing works done, I was hugely impressed by Taeyeon’s singing. Her techniques, feel of the song and everything are excellent”.
He added, “As an arranger, if you listen to the vocals, i get my own feelings about them. Listening to singers’ vocals everyday, there are always concerns on how to ‘dress them up’.However, Taeyeon’s voice seems to ‘fit any clothes’”.

Can someone right a fanfic about them already? Seriously an unexpected couple though. I would've expected someone from the same company. Totally think the next couple to be outed will be Jung Juri and G.O or something.
