On December 26th, ZE:A‘s Dongjun and Kevin attended the production conference for Arirang TV‘s ‘Star Date with ZE:A in Brazil‘, where they announced that they’ll be going on a date with two Brazilian K-Pop fans.

The variety program takes Hallyu fans on a vacation with their favorite stars. Dongjun and Kevin (along with their ‘dates’), will be traveling to various parts of Brazil to introduce the local food and culture. They will also be surveying fans on what their impression of Hallyu and Korea is like.

Dongjun stated, “I’m excited to go to Brazil and meet our fans there. Personally, I’m a huge soccer fan so I’d love to play soccer with them while spreading Korean culture.”

Kevin also expressed, “It’s not a country that we go to often so the other members are really envious of us. We’re going to work hard for all nine of us and lead the new K-Pop wave.”

2NE1’s Park Bom Scolds Manager for Pushing Fan

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Recently, a video titled “The Apostle of Justice Park Bom at Incheon Airport” made its way around various internet communities. The video was taken on December 14 when 2NE1 came back home from New York after headlining the "MTV IGGY's Best New Band Concert."

In the video, a fan was in the midst of handing over a gift when she almost tripped. Thinking that her manager pushed the fan, Park Bom scolded her manager, “Why’d you push? Don’t push!” The fan had been walking backwards and tripped over the manager’s foot. The manager did not push or repress the fan, However, he instantly apologized to the fan without realizing that it was just an accident.

Those who have seen the video commented, “She’s so kind,” “The manager is also very good-hearted, but something about the situation is just so funny,” and “The fan’s smiling as well, she probably knows something wasn’t right.”

Dear Bomie, even if you were wrong this prove you have a good heart and take care of your fan <3

IU the pig strikes fear into fangirls' hearts

[cherrypark.livejournal.com]

She may be the nation's sweetheart now, but singer IU confessed that in the past, she had received harsh criticism while singing on stage.

On the episode of SBS TV 'Strong Heart' that aired on December 27th, IU shared a story about a time she wanted to cry on stage.

"There were two times in life where I wanted to cry," she said. Once was during her debut stage. It was a day where a lot of boy groups were performing, and a lot of girl fans were there to cheer the boys on. It was these girls that began yelling harsh things to IU. "Once one person started, all of them began joining her," she continued, thinking back to that day. IU was only sixteen [15 int'l age] when she debuted and still had a lot of baby fat on her face, and she revealed that the girls in the audience called her a pig.

"The 3-minute song felt so long and regardless of whether or not I was popular, I thought they would listen to my song, but that wasn't the case," she said. "After that incident, I'm not discouraged even if the audience is silent after my performance. I am strengthened by the quiet sounds of cheers."

[gardenintheair.livejournal.com]

Fans have uncovered a blog entry by a "Professor Hong Jonghwa" that details SMTOWN's participation in the 2011 29th SBS Gayo Daejun. The professor, has been helping produce for SM for decades. His works include Kangta's albums in 2001, Lee Sooman's work in 1988, DJ Doc's in 1994 and many other titles.

The blog entry outlines that the broadcast will be calling the group, "SM Orchestra" or "SM Special Performance". It includes a violin performance by Super Junior M's Henry with Girls' Generation's Seohyun on the Piano, Tiffany on the Flute, Super Junior's Kyuhyun on the Harmonica, TRAX's Jungmo on the guitar, f(x)'s Victoria on the guitar as well. The vocals will be featuring Girls' Generation, SHINee and more.

The special surprise guests will be an appearance from all SM Artists, including EXO, the new boy group. There has yet to be an official release by SM Entertainment on this.

Check out the full blog post below:

[Professor Hong Jong Hwa's blog entry at 24 Dec 2011, 4.25am] Phew~ I've completed the SM Special Concert composition that I'm in charge of, and now I'm with SM singers at the last overnight practice and orchestra accompaniment practice~ It will be broadcasted live on 29th's SBS Gayo Daejeon~^^ (for now, the broadcast starts around 9 o'clock but at around 10.50~11.00 (Gayo Daejeon part 2), it will be broadcasted as 'SM Orchestra' or 'SM Special Performance')

It will start with Super Junior M - Henry's violin, while the Orchestra concerto is going on, SNSD - Seohyun (Piano), Tiffany (Flute), Super Junior - Kyuhyun (Harmonica). Trax - Jungmo (Guitar), f(x) - Victoria (Guitar)..then comes SoShi's Vocal, SHINee, etc... It ends with the appearance of all SM Artistes~ Rookie group EXO will also be featured live.^^ (t/n: not sure whether the EXO 'live' refers to them singing live or just EXO appearing on the live broadcast)

It was originally made to be a composition of around 20 minutes (10 Suites) but because it is a broadcast, it was cut short to around 9 minutes long. There's a plan to separately show the full version, through music video and performance, as 'SM Concert'~ (It will also be broadcasted worldwirde through Youtube^^)

SM clearly favors SNSD, buys the girls custom-made boots

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

SNSD‘s legs are known to be the group’s trademarks, and as such, special attention is paid towards their footwear. It’s been revealed that the members’ boots from their “Mr. Taxi” outfits were custom-made to better spotlight their sleek, long legs.

Reportedly, these knee-high boots measure 5cm smaller in width than the average boot. This means that most women would not be able to fit into the boots.

Netizens wrote, “Their legs are similar to an average person’s arm”, “I don’t even think my arms will fit into those boots”, and “How are they able to dance around in such heeled boots without falling?”
