On the 26th of September, a representative of SM revealed over the phone with reporters that Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung would be returning with the rest of Girls’ Generation for their comeback scheduled on the 5th of October. The representative said that, “Fortunately, Sooyoung will be able to join the girls for their comeback. She had a very strong will and determination to rejoin the girls. However, we will still continue to constantly monitor her condition during their promotions.”
In order to quicken the duration of her recovery, Sooyoung was absent for the SMTOWN LIVE in TOKYO concerts, and it looks like her decision has paid off as she will be able to perform on stage once again. Sooyoung is currently rehearsing for their comeback together with the rest of Girls’ Generation, but she is ensuring that she does not overwork herself.
The representative on the phone ended off by saying, “Sooyoung is making sure that she does not strain herself during rehearsals, and she is also getting occasional checkups. They will be focusing on their practice sessions so that they can create the best stage possible during their comeback.”
Girls’ Generation’s comeback was confirmed to be on the 5th of October, and more information about their long awaited comeback can be found here
It looks like fans can look forward to having all nine members of Girls’ Generation performing on stage once again!

unreal.livejournal.comA backpacker discovers the beauty of her homeland through its people during a 35-day walk from the southwest to the northeast that also brought her closer to her mother.
The hill appeared out of the mist, taunting me. Soaked in sweat and an entire day's rain, lugging a 40-pound backpack, I could hardly see through my fogged-up lenses. But what I could see, I didn't like.
Seven hours earlier, I had started a solo walk across my native land, dreaming of seeing the real South Korea. It was nearly dark when I reached the imposing hill. What lay on the other side — more forest? I had to find someplace to stay for the night, but where? Then, a tougher question: Could I handle the real thing?

Singer Hwanhee has revealed that he recently completed filming his movie in Japan and is now preparing to begin his follow-up promotions.
A representative of his agency stated, “Hwanhee will be returning to Korea on September 29th. Starting with ‘Music Bank’ on the 30th, he’ll begin promoting ‘So You Don’t Know‘ from his first album.”
Hwanhee was promoting his title track, “I Feel Like I’m Going to Die“, before he left for Japan on September 14th to film for his movie ‘Star‘. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions in Japan, his film schedule was delayed for several days, and eventually resumed on the 22nd.
His follow-up track, “So You Don’t Know”, was produced by Lee Sang In and is a ballad track that features a soft piano melody. The song is arranged in a unique way so that it feels like he’s singing for that one special listener.
After concluding his promotions, he’ll be going back to film for his movie. “We think it’ll take about one or two more weeks for Hwanhee to focus on getting his film schedule completed,” said his representatives.
Stay tuned for coverage on his comeback performances!

Epik High’s rapper extraordinaire Tablo has grasped hands with YG’s Yang Hyun Suk.
YG Entertainment has announced on September 27, “Tablo has signed an exclusive 4-year contract with YG Entertainment and will be dropping his first official solo album on November 1.”
Through this event, Tablo will break out from his 2-year hiatus that occurred when an academic controversy sparked around him. This contract has been known to be a solo contract that doesn’t involve Epik High.
According to YG, the person who had the biggest hand in Tablo’s decision was none other than YG’s actress and Tablo’s wife, Kang Hye Jung. Having stuck with her husband through thick and thin, Kang Hye Jung was the one to introduce Tablo to CEO Yang Hyun Suk.
Tablo has confessed his feelings for the comeback with, “It’s true that I’m still very afraid of standing in front of the public after deserting the stage for almost 2 years. It was hard during that time period, but I don’t have any feelings of resentment directed at anyone whatsoever. This is because I think that everything that has occurred was my fault.”
He then added, “There were a lot of fans who have supported me from unknown places during that time, but instead of saying thank you a thousand times, I want to return the favor by trying a lot harder and producing good music.”

The atmosphere with humorous lyrics, black and yellow backdrops and outfits and refrigerators make the CF seem luxurious. Their dance and youthful, yet still retro look has blew up amongst fans immediately after the release of the CF.
Netizens commented on the CF by saying, "They have the skills for anything," "It's like a music video, not a CF," T-ara's costumes are unique."

"No Disbandment For Epik High"
2011-09-26 09:49 pmt-domination.livejournal.comAs Tablo signed an exclusive contract with one of the country’s largest music agencies, YG Entertainment, the curiousity of what will happen to the 3-membered group Tablo is affiliated with, also known as ‘Epik High’, has been garnering much of the netizens’ attention.
To get to the conclusion, it seems as if there will be no disbandment for the group.
Spoken by a representative party from the music industry, that although Tablo shook hands with YG Entertainment and released a statement about a solo comeback on November 1st, he and the other members of Epik High (DJ Tukutz and Mithra Jin) are still in close relations with each other and are on great terms. With this said and his first solo album being released, the chances of Epik High’s activities and promotions as a whole group will be far more successful.
Thus, with Mithra Jin currently serving actively in his military duties, Epik High’s comeback and promotions will have to be held back until his return. Mithra Jin entered for his duties last August and will be discharged from the military service next May or June.
On the other hand, DJ Tukuts safely served all his duties and was discharged this past August.
As disbandment issues have not been mentioned after the official announcement of Tablo and YG Entertainment’s signing, they have spoken that the chances of Epik High remaining as a whole is definite.

Actress Park Shi Yeon is getting married on November 19th in the Seoul Hyatt Hotel!
Park Shi Yeon’s agency, Story Entertainment, stated on September 27th, “Park Shi Yeon is sincerely meeting with a company worker with whom she had a love scandal with in March and will marry him. We are working hard for them to have a happy home and become a good couple. We hope you congratulate them.”
As readers may recall, the beautiful actress stunned many earlier this year when it was unintentionally revealed that she was in a relationship with a businessman. It’s great to see that, despite the scandal, the couple has only grown closer.
The agency also continued, “We are sorry that the marriage news was known through reports. We are congratulating Park Shin Yeon warmly on her new start.”
Park Shi Yeon will continue her acting career after her marriage. Congratulations to this happy couple!

Singer Hwanhee (29), has been in the music industry for a long time. After starting a solo career, he produced two mini-albums in two years. Recently he released a debut solo album, the title song, "I Feel Like I'm Going to Die" with Hwanhee's trademark R&B-style ballad song.
It took 7 months for Hwanhee to prepare the album by directing and producing it by himself.
"It was really tough preparing for this album", Hwanhee said. "The melody and lyrics were modified until we all are satisfied, just to improve the completeness and to deliver the best album."
He was also cast as the leading man at the movie "STAR". "I will take the role of a gentle Hallyu star this month. The shooting will go on for about 2 to 3 months. This would be first screen debut after such a long time and quite a burden for me. But I'll take a character analysis and since the movie will be released simultaneously in Japan, it hope it would be the special gift for Japanese fans."
Right after shooting the movie, he will enlist in the army. "Once, the plan was to go by end of year but the definite date has been set."
He plans to do something with Brian. "These days we are frequently communicating with each other to do projects together after a successful solo. It seems not too late to talk. We do not know yet what will be the joint performances will be... we're thinking positively about things."

Hyomin chops off all her hair
2011-09-26 10:45 pmdevilsatin.livejournal.com
T-ara member Hyomin recently changed her hair style for T-ara's upcoming comeback. Ever since the group's debut, she has always had long straight hair. It is now cut short to right above her shoulders and she said on her twitter, “Since it's becoming fall, I've undergone a change in mindset.”
Her drastic change, however, does not change the fact that she is very delicate and pretty.
T-ara has been actively preparing for their comeback on November 1. Hyomin added, “We’re about to give our comeback stage soon on November 1! We’re really trying our hardest to bring to the table what’s best so please look forward to our next performance!”

Originally developed as a vehicle for Liam Neeson, the project has a script by first-time writer Andrew Knauer and veteran Jeffrey Nachmanoff, the story follows a disgraced LAPD cop in a new job in a small town who is trying to stop a drug-cartel leader who has just busted out of prison and is trying to make it across the border. Arnold Schwarzenegger will play the sheriff, with Peter Stormare as one of the baddies who tries to sniff him out however, he may come up against Rodrigo Santoro who Latino Review report is in talks to play the role of Frank Martinez, a rookie cop on the force. Oddly enough, Santoro hasn’t really done a genre flick since “300” but this should give him plenty to chew on.
Before production begins next month, George Nolfi (”The Adjustment Bureau,” “The Bourne Ultimatum”) is giving the script a pass, and if you need a reason to be excited about this one? None other than Kim Ji-woon—the man behind “I Saw The Devil” and “The Good, The Bad, The Weird”—is making his Hollywood debut with the picture. There is still some major casting to come—including the villain role who travels a souped-up car that travels at 200 mph with a hostage and gang members in tow—so keep an eye out. This one will hit theaters on January 18, 2013.
