Feeling trapped and blocked off by a wall he felt he couldn’t overcome, ZE:A‘s Hyungshik found himself crying in the middle of Super Junior‘s dorm after he was given the warm hand of a senior who offered his help. That senior was none other Super Junior’s Ryeowook.

The two became close friends through their musical, “Temptation of the Wolves“, and it was only a matter of time before they developed a strong friendship. Eventually, their respective groups got closer as well, and one night, both groups gathered together for a late night dinner party.

Hyungshik recalled, “The name Super Junior just felt so big to me that even though I felt glad that I could get to know him, I was also cautious. Still, he approached me first and opened his heart, allowing for honest conversation to flow. I earned a lot of strength from that.

Super Junior could relate to ZE:A in that they had both had a rough trainee life at a young age, and that they’re both comprised of a large number of members.

Ryeowook said, “We were alike in that we shared a lot of the same hardships. As a senior who experienced those things a few years before him, I tried to listen to his worries and help him find a solution. Hyungshik choked up then and cried.

He continued, “Through our meeting, ZE:A helped us realize that we should never forget our roots, and I think the members of ZE:A also earned a lot of strength from us. It was a meeting where honesty was exchanged, and the feeling remained with me long after the meeting was over. I’m really thankful for the musical for creating such a fate.

Hyungshik confessed, “I don’t have a cellphone yet, so I don’t have a close friend or senior celebrity around me. It’s just really out of this world for me to have such an amazing hyung that I met through this musical.”

Ryeowook added, “Hyungshik is sometimes like my real brother, and oftentimes more mature than me. I feel proud that I have an amazing dongseng like him and I hope that there will be an opportunity where I can sing with him aside from the musical.

On September 24th, JYJ's Jaejoong shared a photo he took with fellow actor Song Joong Ki to help promote his new movie, Many a Little Romance.

Jaejoong wrote, "Subtitle - Many a Little Romen's. 'Many a Little Romance' will hit theaters on October 27th starring Song Joong Ki! Kim Jae Joong is anticipating it."

The two stars thought up the idea to act the movie’s title by collecting 'many a little' weeds into their palms. Their serious facial expressions and level of concentration adds to the comedic effect.

Netizens commented, "Eye candy", "Such a blessed duo", "I'm also anticipating his movie", "Moo-God, what're you doing here?", and "Such nice to see their friendship like this."

At its current pace, the Hallyu Wave is fast becoming a tsunami, crashing down hard on artists, producers and songwriters from both ends of the globe. Hot off the heels of Chloe’s recent article comes yet another discussion on a new American group modeled after obvious Kpop influences. Heart2Heart, a 5 member boy band, are the protégés of Lance Bass, former member of the popular 90′s boy band N’Sync.

David Lehre, the band’s leader and producer, came up with the idea way back in November 2010, after being inspired by the audience’s excitement at the reunion of the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block at the 2010 American Music Awards. After serving as a music video producer behind the scenes and growing tired of the lack of recognition, starting Heart2Heart has re-ignited his passion for music and he’s determined to see this through.

The boys are a charming bunch, full of enthusiasm, charisma and pre-orchestrated looks. Take a big bowl, pour in a generous amount of traditional Kpop boy band elements, mix it with a dash of hip-hop and modern choreography, and a pinch of Justin Bieber’s “clean-cut” persona – then multiply it by 5. That’s the sum of Heart2Heart.

Teaser Video + Members' Bio~ )


On their official Youtube page, they previously tagged the following terms:

  • Kpop
  • BIGBANG
  • 2NE1
  • 4Minute
  • SNSD
  • SHINee
  • YG
  • B1A4

The tags are gone now, but they were definitely there 3 days ago – I saw them. I think that explains a lot, don’t you? Additionally, the phrase “heart to heart” isn’t terribly original. Kpop wise, it’s a title of one of4Minute‘s songs, but it’s also a title of one of Chris Brown‘s. The font of their logo screams 4Minute, so it’s no surprise they’ve listed the girl group as a tag/influence. So why YG Entertainment? Their music was mastered by Tom Coyne, also responsible for mastering the tunes of – yep, BIGBANG and 2NE1.

Speaking of sound snippets, take a listen at the four below. Veterans of Kpop can most likely feel the Kpop ambiance through their monitors. In the first 3 seconds of “Inspiration”, they throw out “Annyeonghaseyo”, or roughly “Hello” in Korean. While it may sound like generic boy band pop music at first, “Heart Attack” sounds like something Teen Top or B1A4 could sing.

In the teaser, I spotted a perler bead creation of Air Man from Capcom’s Megaman videogame series at the top of the door, and in one of Lehre’s videos, you can hear snippets of videogame sound effects from Super Mario Bros. blended in. Sounds like Chad Future’s a gamer, too.

Lehre’s apparently experienced in the business despite his age, and with backup from Lance Bass and Britney Spears‘ mix engineer, they just might be able to score the broken hearts of Beiber‘s fan base. As their name entails, they want to have a heart to heart connection with their fans all over the world.

So – your thoughts? Think they’ll make it out here? Ready to give them a chance, or is the obvious Kpop sound going to drive you back to the original? Boy bands are horribly 90s when it comes the the US – would one even make it in 2011?

Keep an eye out for the mini album dropping on October 3rd.
