On December 16th, representatives of YG Entertainment confirmed, “Big Bang has decided to hold their ‘Big Show‘ concert in March of 2012. Ahead of the concert, they’ll be releasing a new album. They had halted their activities this year because of unpredicted accidents, but they’ll be returning to their official activities for the first time in nearly a year through their ‘Big Show’ next year.”
Big Bang will also be performing at the YG Family concerts next month in Osaka and Saitama.
According to representatives, G-Dragon is currently concentrating on the production of the songs for the new album. Without rest, he is at the company recording studio every day to ensure it’s prompt release.
This is good, especially after this fucking day.

Damn, re-watching Super Junior's thank you speech for winning Best Album at MAMA still manages to bring tears to my eyes.
Super Junior’s Ryeowook drew attention by writing a post implying about ALi.
On December 16, Ryeowook tweeted, “My heart aches… I hope her tears don’t go to waste.”
Previously singer ALi held an emergency press report conference to apologize about the controversy that her original song “Na Young” has caused. She stated, “I sincerely apologize for stirring up trouble. I also would like to apologize once again to Na Young, her parent and her relatives.” She also confessed that she is also a victim of sexual abuse and shocked the public.
Therefore, most people believe that Ryeowook is talking about ALi even though he didn’t directly state whom he is talking about.
Netizens commented: “Isn’t Ryewook talking about ALi?” “I think he meant that about ALi.” “I saw ALi’s news article about the press report conference. What she said tugged at my heart.”

With every girl group having done some variation of the ‘sexy concept’ by now, the concept itself has become rather standardized, if not blasé.
After School, however, is different. They don’t have to show excessive skin to pull off sexy looks; rather, their sexiness seems to be inherent, as it radiates naturally from each member. Stunning figures, powerful performance styles, and a healthy, sexy look are some of the qualities that helped After School stand out.
The girls sat down with Sports Seoul to discuss their thoughts on their sexy image.
Leader Kahi commented, “I think people took well to our sexy concepts because in our choreography, we don’t put emphasis on showing skin; instead, we’d focus on the powerful dance routines. We also have our cute sides as well. Our sexy image was created with the stage in mind, so we didn’t feel uncomfortable or reluctant about it.”
Raina added with a shy smile, “We like that our team has a distinctive color. I actually want our sexy image to stand out more. I want to start showing off the potential I’ve kept hidden inside.”
When asked how their image was created, Lizzy explained, “I practiced making facial expressions in a room with a big mirror for five hours a day. After about one or two hours of it, I start getting sleepy and start disliking my face.”
The topic then drifted onto Bekah, the member who graduated from the group in June. The girls agreed that it was the saddest moment of their year, and Jungah stated, “The concept of admissions and graduations was something originally planned with the idea of it being a happy event. We had no idea that it would be so sad, and the decision came suddenly, which made it even worse.”
Kahi added, “Bekah’s been studying art for a long time so she’s exceptional in that regard. It seems that transitioning from a free lifestyle in Hawaii to a cloistered one in the entertainment industry didn’t fit her well. Although she’s talented musically, she probably desired to study freely, and thus decided to graduate.”
When asked how it felt to be three years into their careers now, Kahi concluded, “Has it only been three years? It feels like it’s been at least six. Since our training, so many things have happened, like member changes and unit and solo activities. We’re capable of so many things that one international media outlet called us the most efficient group in Asia. We promise to become an After School that always works hard.”

Hyomin, on the other hand, revealed, “I want to live forever and never get old,” while Boram chose, “I also want to be immortal.” Eunjung added, “Then, I want to maintain my youthful skin.”
Jiyeon stated, “I want to become an invisible woman to get revenge. Well, the revenge part is a joke but I would like to be invisible so I can freely visit places.”

She revealed, “Ever since I’ve been acting in the drama, I’ve received a lot more attention from mothers. I feel the love of my fans when I’m given a lot of side dishes at restaurants by the mothers that work there.”
Jihyun continued, “I think both singers and actors must always work hard without end to make sure they’re loved. I’m going to do whatever it takes to be acknowledged in both industries and always try my best at every opportunity I’m given.”

this post is different from this post. this post announces mia wasikowska being approached, the latter doesn't. ann always inserts a recap of previous subject-related articles (to make it more convenient for the reader) so maybe that's why the confusion, mod-nim.
