Kwon PD also revealed through a phone interview, “I’m sure Jaebum will be able to show the best stage through his performance and singing. Kyuhyun was chosen because he is already well-known as Super Junior’s main vocalist.” He added, “Huh Gak is a singer who the Korean people like. On the other hand, I think Huh Gak can become a motivation for the other idols. “

I don't think there's a song on this album I don't like, tbh.

2PM’s Junsu has revealed his surprising culinary skills for SBS’s new TV program, ‘2PM Show‘.
Recently, Junsu tweeted,
“Spicy rice cakes that I made ^^ It’s called Daegu Smile Spicy Rice Cakes.. keke“
This photo is a screencap from the ‘2PM Show’, which had the boys tackle a cooking challenge. 2PM was separated into two teams for the competition: older members versus young members. They each had to demonstrate their cooking skills by creating a main dish using crab and octopus.
As the competition began, Junsu showed off his confidence as he boasted, “Daegu’s most famous Daegu spicy rice cakes“.
Junsu finished his dish first and had his group members try his ‘famous’ dish. The other 2PM members couldn’t hold back their exclamations over how the taste had far exceeded their expectations. Junsu responded, “Looks like I could open up a spicy rice cake store in Daegu!”
This episode of ‘2PM Show’ will broadcast on July 23rd.

The members of B2ST showed their sociable sides on the July 20th episode of MBC’s “Radio Star”.
Upon the question of comparing their popularity to that of MBLAQ, the members expressed their honest thoughts stating, “As of now, we think we’re above them”.
B2ST’s leader Doojoon honestly shared his thoughts stating, “In the beginning, we were way behind MBLAQ during our debut period. We felt pathetic compared to MBLAQ at the time, to the point where we even thought of finding something else to do for a living”.
Doojoon continued, “We also envied the ultimate backing that MBLAQ had from Rain“.
The members of B2ST ended with, “But when we’re not active, we think we’re below MBLAQ. I think the two teams are always competing with each other”, sharing their good intentions about the friendly competition between the two groups.

From top, Four out of six members of Beast, Hyuna from 4 Minute and Goo Ha-ra from Kara have received either special admission or scholarships from their universities.
Colleges often award scholarships to K-pop stars and popular entertainers as their enrollment can be valuable assets for the promotion of a schools’ image.
However, many ordinary students who have to work various part-time jobs to pay tuition say the awarding of scholarships to young celebrities is unfair.
Members of prominent Korean bands such as Beast, 4 Minute and Kara have received special admissions or full scholarships from the universities they attend.
Four out of six members of Beast have been accepted to Dongshin University in South Jeolla Province with full four-year scholarships. Hyuna from 4 Minute received special admission to Konkuk University as an entertainer and Goo Ha-ra from Kara entered Sungshin Women’s University under a “superb performance” scholarship.

There were long lines of customers in front of the carts of street vendors selling Korean food such as topokki, rice cakes in hot sauce, and Chinese pancakes.
One of the large shops selling Korean pop-culture items, including souvenirs, on the street was totally packed although it was in the middle of a workday.
"We saw a sudden rise in the number of customers last summer. These days we have around 5,000 visitors during workdays and 8,000 to 9,000 on weekends," a sales clerk of the shop said.
