"1 Night 2 Days" will end in 6 months

[seungigi.livejournal.com]

The head director of KBS’ entertainment, Jun Jin Kook, said on the 19th, “We made the final decision to close the program One Day And Two Nights in six months. We have discussed about this for a while, and the production crew and cast all agreed to do their best to make a happy closing.

There will not be a season two for this show. A new program will open when the show ends. For now, we begin to design on the new program.”

After the emcee Kang’s announcement of getting himself off from One Day And Two Nights, the program remained in question about whether it will close or not.



KBS’s ‘1 Night 2 Days‘ has announced that the hit variety program will be running for six more months before it comes to a close in February 2012.

All of the cast members reportedly made a mutual agreement with the producers of the show, saying that they would be leaving altogether in six months.

Their official press release reads as follows:

( Official press release. )

PD Na Young Suk gives an in-depth explanation about “1N2D” coming to an end

( The reporter on the phone then asked Na, “Is this the end of “1N2D?”, to which Na replied, “There is no such thing as an ending. If there’s an ending, there is another beginning.” )

No variety show or television tag? Or I just can't find it.
I think this is a great way for the show to resolve itself.

It sounds like oldschool Korean band song to me. Pretty cool, I guess. Though I believe a lot of people will probably think it's a boring song.

Album Review: Urban Zakapa 01

[iheartomntd.livejournal.com]

Urban Zakapa is one of Korea's best kept secret. Their music is driven by smooth and harmonic vocals, even blend of piano, bass, drums, and lyrics charged of day to day experiences and they joys and pains of love. The now eight member group (vocalist Choi Jae Man, left due to personal reasons) burst out into the indie scene with their debut mini-Album Caffe Latte/Drinking Coffee in July of 2009, and brought with them a new and refreshing sound of soul, light rock, and even jazz that can captivate any crowd. After releasing two mini albums in 2009, Urban Zakapa is now back with their first full feature album, simply titled 01.

Korean group M.E.N to debut in Japan later this year

[unreal.livejournal.com]

Earlier today it came to the attention of many Kpop fans that rumors were spreading about Battle member Taehwa's possible return to the music scene. The rumor included that Taehwa was apparently going to debut in a new group in Japan. Later that day, it was confirmed by a broadcast on Japanese TV, that this rumor was indeed true.

The new group consists of 5 young guys, including Taehwa himself, actor Im Youngpil (Sungkyunkwan Scandal), Yoon Gwangsun, Park Jungjin (Former A'ST1 leader) and Shim Jihwan (rapper of Typhoon). They will have their debut later this year in Japan, and it is rumored that the group will only be promoting in Japan.

The speculations started when Battle member Taehwa posted up some pictures of himself in a practice room. Though many fans hoped it would be a solo return (he briefly promoted his solo single "Fallen Angel" at the end of 2009), it seems he was preparing for his upcoming debut in the Japanese group.
