Nearly 40,000 sign petition as Seoul makes efforts to draw world attention

Dozens of international human rights groups will gather in Tokyo on Wednesday to urge the North Korean regime to halt its inhumane activities and release a South Korean woman believed to be held captive at a prison camp, an activist group here said.

The event was organized after a South Korean family’s devastating story was revealed to the media. O Gil-nam placed an advertisement asking United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to save his 69-year-old wife Shin Suk-ja upon the U.N. chief’s visit to the country last month.

“Please save a daughter of Tongyeong,” the ad read, with a black-and-white photo of O’s wife and two daughters Hye-won and Gyu-won, referring to the small South Korean city which has been holding a campaign calling for the release of one of its residents.

O’s family defected to North Korea from Germany in 1985 and O escaped from the country a year later, leaving behind his wife and daughters who are believed to be imprisoned in Yodok prison camp in South Hamgyong Province.

http://www.allkpop.com/author/VITALSIGN

On September 9th, Block B’s Zico guested on an interesting MBC program titled ‘101 Secrets to Awakening My Child’s Brain‘, where they had him test the correlation between concentration and reciting text.

Zico was specially chosen for his rapid fire rapping abilities, and viewers got an inside look in his production studio back at Brand New Stardom
Producers surprised him with an impromptu mission, presenting him with a
list of scientific brain terminology to memorize and make a rap out of
in 10 minutes.  Although he seemed hesitant at first, he stunned
producers and his staff alike by managing to pull it off flawlessly.

ZIA has just released her duets “I Hope It’s You” featuring K.Will, and “Write Down Love” with MBLAQ’s Mir.

“I Hope It’s You” was written by Minuki, the songwriter behind Eru’s “Because It’s Us Two” and Park Myung Soo’s “To Stupid From Stupid”, and MIRU’s “Going to the Hospital”. “I Hope It’s You” and “Write Down Love” will be two of the tracks on the ZIA’s album that will be released at the end of this month.

Her company, Loen Entertainment, stated, “Zia is currently in the final stretch on the work of her album, and has decided to remain firm in her focus as a singer by releasing a full length album, which is hard to come by these days.

The two artists who have participated in the duets, K.Will and Mir, are close friends of ZIA, and they have cheered each other on throughout their activities. The two have heartily congratulated her comeback and have become a big source of support for her.

In addition, actors Soh Yoo Jin and Choi Sung Joon have also lent a hand in support by appearing in her music video.

We'll be giving it all our best to get the Rookie of the Year award


Gongchan

1: Having been in the drama club since junior high school, I've been on the stage for countless times. During my first year in high school, I crossdressed and danced to Ivy, getting second in place. My love for the stage slowly grew, when I was in junior high year 3 I participated in Cyworld's 'Ulzzang Challenge Corner' when my friend had uploaded my picture. Afterwhich, I got into the audition and became a member.

2: I was the main lead in the short film my friend filmed. At the last day, we went to Myeong-dong to film at the wild, and because the staff had to carry a lot of things, the hyungs came to help. I was really grateful, so I teared up due to joy.

3: When I went to school, my friends would be there to give me support. My teacher would also encourage me.

4: People are saying 'You seem cool and unfriendly at the first sight, but when we really socialize you seem to have a lot of aegyo.'. People has said that I seemed to be laughing and angry often, but I just like to play tricks and have a bubbly personality. Please don't get mistaken (laughs). My charm is, my aegyo, my dark skin and my hyungs have told me I have a cute butt (laughs).

5: To those who love us, our goal is to make good music and produce a wonderful stage. If given the chance, we'd like to try acting as well.



CNU

1: My whole family likes singing, so I've always wanted to be a singer ever since I was young. My mother is now active as a trot singer, and my sister is also doing Pansori. I'm also a vocal in a band, so I'm getting lots of experience too. Due to the song festivals which I joined with my friends, I was motivated to join B1A4.

2: I tend to oversleep. If I have to arrive at the practice room at 10, I would wake up at 9.50 (laughs)! I would wake the members up in a hurry, dash off to practice without washing up. Since we can't even be late for a minute, we ran. Even thinking of it makes it fun.

3: When there is public airing or anything, my parents would come. After my debut, my parents came to my first live stage, so I was really nervous....... I thought 'that was great' after it ended, and I was really moved after getting praised.

4: I'm more of the meticulous type. The members call me 'Mother' (laughs). My charm is my body proportion and my smile as to what people has sad.

5. I would like to try a solo concert as B1A4. Like in my studying period, I would want to show a full band and session with a strong sexiness and rock stage. We would do our best to let everyone know of B1A4. and I want to be an amazing person that will not forget about the hardships we've went through.



Sandeul

1: I really like singing. During junior high it was when I came in first during a competition of 'I Am A Singer' with friends who were good at singing too. I'd wanted to get better and stronger, so I joined a national competition. Then, after learning a lot from the singing fest, I felt really happy when I stood on the stage for the first time, I then saw my dream to be a singer forming.

2.When I first got into the dorm. The members had planned to surprise me. I lived in Busan, so I had to take the train up city, but I was welcomed by Jinyoung whom had already arrived. I was really shocked when hyung came from behind the front door. No matter how many times I'll still fall for the pranks that the members love to make.

3: On my debut day. It was my first time on a music program, and there were a lot of our fans in the audience, there were also cardboards which had our names written on it and the voices supported us...... I was really moved. I will never forget about our first stage.

4. The people around me says that I'm 'bubbly and cute'. Jinyoung and Shinwoo too, they said that I was cute and pinched my cheeks. My charm point is, I have the longest legs within all members, and my skin is the nicest.

5. To work hard with B1A4 together in our singing activities, and to try a musical some day.



BARO

1: A kid that always looked forward to activities. I got into the school council within 1 week after returning to school, got into the school fest council, I also got into the comedy circle during High school. I also had a lot of interest in music, I managed to see my dream after trying singing and rapping.

2: During DJ DOC's concert. It was fun yet saddening. During the concert there was a part where the audiences could show their skills, Jinyoung, Shinwoo and I went up. Even though Jinyoung and Shinwoo got the attention, I didn't do anything. But we were happy with hyungs' performance.

3. During our debut stage's rehearsal, Gongchan fell on his butt. When we saw that, we all got nervous. But during the real thing, everyone managed to do well and we had to pretend like we weren't nervous. We really felt thankful to the audiences that supported us.

4. I heard from the members that I'm the group's mood maker. In any way, I like to be interesting and to make people laugh. Also, I think that my rapping voice which is different from how I look is really charming.

5. I hope to do a solo B1A4 concert. When you watch variety shows we can't show our new statures, and to have a open concert with all our fans!! I think it'll be fun.



Jinyoung

1: I've always wanted to be in this industry ever since I was young. I like to sing in front of people, I was the vice-chairman in the student council, I had a personality that was suited in the school council. During school I managed to hone on my acting skills, I also partook in a film for the school. During that period, my picture was uploaded to the site, and I was foun by the company, so I got ino B1A4.

2. When we did a '₩10,000 Happiness'. Even though I spent ₩10,000 on socks for the members, there were the others who bought other stuff like pajamas, cakes, alarm clocks...... there were many different kinds of presents.

3. During our first ever fansigning. There were not only our Korean fans, but fans from Japan, THailand, Taiwang, Poland etc. overseas fans who came to see us, we were really touched.

4. I have a very forward personality. Even when we have a bad situation, as long as I think of 'everything will get better', it really does get better. Also focusing. When I am immersed (focused) in something, I wouldn't be able to hear anything that calls me. My charm pint is, I am a great guy that likes to cook. Someday, I will make a nice Aglio Olio so please come over and play~.

5. I want everyone to hear the songs I've composed. If there's a chance I'd like to try out acting. Also, in order to win this year's best rookie award, we will do our very best, so I hope everyone would love us, and look over us.

Starting 10am on the 9th, JYJ opened the preordering process for their first Korean-language album In Heaven through large scale record retailers around the country such as Kyobo Hot Tracks and Synnara Record and online record retail websites such as Yes24, KoyboBooks and Interpark.

According to affiliates, the results of computing the figures at 5pm of the 9th is that JYJ’s first Korean-language album In Heaven recorded 300,000 in preorders only.

Some online retail websites had the episodes of temporary disablement of the system due to the pouring in of the traffic relating to the preorders.

On the other hand, Kim Jaejoong’s self-composed song In Heaven had its teaser in which member Kim Junsu enthusiastically acted released and the advance-released mp3 of Get Out achieved the feats of sweeping #1 on real-time digital music charts immediately after release.

As if the man needed to take any more hits. MC Kang Ho-dong has been on the ropes this week for tax evasion, made very public of course by the Korean media. He’s currently under investigation for owing millions of won in back taxes, and the industry backlash has been pretty severe. After many days spent reportedly in a panic, he held a press conference on the 9th to announce his temporary retirement from the industry.

Kang Ho-dong is currently hosting 1 Night 2 Days, Star King, Strong Heart, and Knee Drop Guru, covering all three big networks, though he’s a fixed employee at KBS. At the press conference, he apologized publicly and expressed immense regret: “I have disappointed your love for me,” adding, “How can I laugh and talk on TV without shame?” He then announced his temporary retirement from the industry, shedding tears.

Na PD released a statement that Kang Ho-dong can’t and won’t be replaced, and they’ll carry on with five members. He said that many PDs gathered to comfort Kang Ho-dong, as he was in a state of panic for days.

He expressed his regret at losing Kang Ho-dong from the industry, but the PDs chose to respect his decision. He added, “We were together for over four years, so as a PD, I just feel regret.” The final decisions have yet to be made, but they felt that his departure from 1N2D would need a proper send-off, and so a farewell trip for Kang Ho-dong is in the works. When and where the trip will take place hasn’t been finalized, but they felt that the viewers would need to say a proper goodbye.
