Jiyeon and Shindong got siblingzoned
2012-02-03 04:59 pmiyarheaa.livejournal.com
Super Junior member Shindong admitted that his sister is a fan of B2ST‘s Lee Kikwang.
On the episode of MBC TV‘s ‘Joo Byung Jin’s Talk Concert‘ that aired on February 2nd, guest T-ara‘s Jiyeon sadly remarked, “My brother (Park Hyo Jun) likes Hyomin unni better than me. When it was her birthday, he sent her a rush delivery cake, but he never sends things like that for me.”
Super Junior’s Shindong seemed to relate and understand how she felt. He offered some comfort by saying, “It’s okay, it’s inevitable because you’re family. My sister isn’t a fan of Super Junior, she likes B2ST. She has one photo featuring both of us in her room and it’s not even a recent photo but rather a photo that we took six years ago. Other than that, her walls are covered with numerous posters of B2ST’s Lee Kikwang.”
In related news, five of the top Hallyu idols guest-featured on this particular episode opened up about the various highs and lows of living life as an idol star.

Let's take a moment and travel back to the year of 2007 when SNSD and the Wonder Girls were fresh, rookie girl groups, debuting with their title tracks, "Into the New World," and "Irony." It's hard to believe that five years have already flown by and both SNSD and the Wonder Girls have settled into the K-Pop world as the leading backbone of girl groups. Now, even the youngest members of each group have entered into their twenties and all have now matured into young women. Not only these two girl groups but many others, who have debuted around similar times, are slowly coming of an age where marriage is a near future option.
Just like how S.E.S.' Eugene and Shoo, who were once the "original fairy-dols," have become newlyweds, the chances of second generation girl group members announcing their marriage plans may not be too far ahead. In light of this, Sports Chosun conducted a survey that asked ten of the top entertainment companies a few questions about girl groups and marriage. Let's dive into the results and the analysis of this Sports Chosun survey.

Jessica is in the limelight once again as her acting skills in the drama production "Wild Romance" earned favorable responses from its viewers. On the past few episodes, Jessica's acting was a hot topic amongst its viewers after she displayed her romantic side while filming intimate scenes with her co-actor Lee Dongwook.
However, on the show's latest episode, Jessica was able to display a different side of herskills as she portrayed the darker side of her character. Jessica plays the role of Kang Jonghee, an ex-girlfriend of Lee Dongwook's character Park Mooyul. Having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder in the previous episodes, causing her to leave Dongwook's character in the past, Jessica's character was able to witness a terrible event causing her to have a fit. The scene changed from Jessica having a seizure, shivering until her character wasn't able to breathe.
Viewers who have watched the episode immediately left comments such as, “Jessica’s acting proves she worked hard,” and “I felt bad for Jonghee who is suffering from bipolar disorder.”

Idol group Teen Top inadvertently displayed their popularity in Gwangju recently.
On February 1st, Teen Top held a fansign in a record store in Chungcheong, Gwangju to commemorate the release of their second mini-album, “It’s.”
That day, a crowd of female fans gathered to see Teen Top prior to the start of the event. However, when the crowd grew so large that it impeded access to the shops in the surrounding area, the police were dispatched to the site.
Due to the many people who continued to flock to the store’s entrance even after the fansign was over, it took Teen Top nearly 40 minutes to make their exit from the building.
An employee of the store commented, “In recent years we’ve had many autograph sessions, but we’ve never had a crowd as big as this one. It was the most popular an event has been since 2PM signed here last year, so it was surprising.”
Teen Top, who received a lot of attention from their Gwangju fans, has seen a lot of popularity recently due to the success of their song “Going Crazy.”
