SNSD recently performed the Japanese version of "The Boys" on a top variety program in Japan. However, the emcee pointed out some pronunciation flaws during the song and thus, has become quite an issue among the netizens.
The issue arose after an episode of popular Japanese variety show "Hey Hey Hey" aired on December 19, during which SNSD performed the Japanese version of "The Boys." The emcee of the program is comedian Hamada Masatoshi and as soon as SNSD finished their performance, he jokingly said, "What are they saying? I have no idea what they are saying." At Hamada's unexpected comment, the other guests uncomfortable faces were caught on tape and the other emcee of the show, Matsumoto Hitoshi quickly changed the subject.
Japanese netizens commented, "I hope this will be a good lesson and warning for the Korean artists who come to Japan and sing in Japanese with motives of making more money," while Korean netizens commented, "I hope the way our artists sing in Japan in Japanese will change."
Clips of this part of the episode of "Hey Hey Hey" were posted online and have received over 200,000 hits.
Korean netizens commented, "It is no longer 'K-Pop' if Korean artists go overseas and sing their songs in a foreign language. Why don't they take this opportunity to stop singing in Japanese all together," "Let's try to understand our Korean artists, who are probably having a hard time in a foreign land with foreign cultures and languages."

unreal.livejournal.comSouth Korean lawmakers criticized the government for failing to know about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il’s death until it was announced two days later, putting pressure on intelligence chief Won Sei Hoon to resign.
President Lee Myung Bak’s government first heard about Kim’s Dec. 17 death when it was broadcast on North Korean state television on Dec. 19. Lee attended a party given by his staff to celebrate his birthday, wedding anniversary and election four hours before the announcement.
Won, director of South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, must be held accountable for his ignorance of Kim’s death, lawmakers said today. Lee’s defense minister quit last year amid criticism of the response to a deadly North Korean artillery attack on a South Korean island

At #4 was “STEP” from KARA‘s third full-length album which is earning much love and support in Japan, and at #5 and #6 were 2NE1‘s “Lonely” and “I Am the Best“, respectively.

The nation’s younger sister, IU, showed off a different image when she revealed what she wanted to do when she turned 20.
On today’s broadcast of the music talk show, ‘P.S. I ♥ LOVE Park Jung Hyun‘, IU revealed, “I want to thoroughly enjoy company dinners and clubs when I become an adult.”
MC Park Jung Hyun asked, “What do you want to do when you become an adult?“, IU responded with,“I haven’t been able to really enjoy company or business dinners until now because I’m young. So when I become an adult, I want to hang out with people while having a drink.”
She continued, “As I am not an adult yet, I can’t go to clubs. So when I become an adult, I want to thoroughly enjoy myself at clubs.”
IU also introduced the ‘language of teenagers’ to Park Jung Hyun and the audience, and surprised them with her articulate explanation of the various slang words.
She also introduced songs like Corinne Bailey‘s song, “Another Rainy Day” during the segment called “Hidden Track”, and performed her hit song, “You & I”.

purring-feline.livejournal.comOn the December 22nd broadcast of ‘Happy Together 3‘, singer IU will be discussing the topic of dating and marriage.
During the recording for the show, IU mentioned that she will probably get bored of gradually developing a relationship through dating and would rather get married. She stated, “During my third year at middle school, I started working and I have never dated anyone properly. However, I’ve done something ridiculous where I dated a guy for one day and called it quits the next day.”
She continued, “When I turn 20, I think I will naturally date someone, but I think it will get a bit boring. If you date someone, break up, and come back again, you will mostly likely end up marrying that person. In that perspective, I think there really is no point in dating, I’d rather get married as soon as I become an adult.”
In related news, viewers can expect to see IU show off some sexy dance moves on the show’s Christmas special.
