Block B's interview misleading
2012-02-22 02:31 amcexmeuphyuk.livejournal.com
There are claims that Block B's interview has been misrepresented.
Looking at the situation during the interview, this is a clarification of parts of Zico's comments regarding "monetary compensation" and "7,000 won".
A post from one netizen's own twitter explains that as the interview progressed the interpreter asked about donations which led Zico and Park Kyung to talk about the contributions they normally make.
During the interview, Zico told Kyung to, "Tell us about the donations you usually make." And Park Kyung answered, "Normally, every month I take 200,000 won from my account."
In continuation Park Kyung explained his own views on donating and said, "The money goes to kids in Africa.. yes. Because donating is helping, I think making donations is something indispensable in life."
The interpreter made mention of the Thailand floods once more, saying that "This (show) is for the benefit of the victims of those damages," explaining that proceeds from the show will be donated. (They may also be pertaining to half the amount of the salary of members who planned to donate theirs.)
Hereupon Zico said, "Ei of course we do, we know it. We think that everyone must have suffered greatly due to the floods, and we hope that this monetary compensation can help them recover. We have nothing but money..." and when asked for an estimate of how much he had replied, "About 7,000 won...?"
This shows that the the staff members present understood the comment as a joke.
The netizen which posted this said that if one looked at the details of the interview, "No matter how I look at it, 'monetary compensation' seems to pertain to the donations which will be collected through the show. Even the 7,000 won comment seems to purely be a joke (a joke that may be about how their overestimation of their contributions backfired (T/N: it turned against them because it doesn't correspond to the money they actually had presently))." The netizen added that, "It feels as if people have been severely misled."
Netizens were not knowledgeable about the particular details of this matter, however, the response is that for them things make much more sense after seeing the circumstances surrounding it.
There were even comments left about how their manners with regard to donating are inimitable.
It has been of interest whether the misunderstanding regarding Block B's "7,000 won" scandal would be straightened out.
( Interview )Translator’s Notes:
This article does not serve to excuse how the boys behaved and the jokes they made, but it was translated and posted at the request of fans and to show the context in which they made the particular joke.

- Yoochun’s ‘The Empty Space for You’
Frankly, I was worried in the beginning. The OST has a different chord compared to the usual songs. One person needs to have a good feel and the ability to be emotional in order to sing the song well. This is probably the reason why people prefer Baek Ji Young and Lee Seung Chul. I was worried if an idol singer could show emotions in the song. However, Yoochun definitely has a good singing ability and his ability to show his emotions using his voice is excellent. I was very satisfied.

unreal.livejournal.comBlock B, who is currently embroiled in controversy for their behavior towards the Thai and Japanese media, has taken to the stage again within a day of releasing their formal apology. The performance in question is MBC Music's "Show Champion," which was broadcasted live on February 21st.
On that day, Block B made no reference of any sort to the furor; instead they concentrated fully on their performance. Leader Zico, who shaved his head in a show of self-reflection, chose not to wear a hat, and accordingly was the center of the reporters' attention. After their performance, Block B bowed deeply to the audience and left the stage wordlessly.
In most cases making a public appearance so soon would be considered hasty.
Brandnew Stardom, Block B's agency, spoke up on this. They stated, "We had a very deep discussion with Block B about their activities after the controversy broke out. We came to an agreement that the best Block B can do right now is to show everyone that they are working even harder than before."
They continued with, "To be honest, for a rookie group to halt all activities two weeks after their comeback is as good as the end of the road for them. The members thought that if they stop all activities now, they may never have the chance to perform again, and so they came to this decision after much difficulty."
Block B will be making further appearances on M! Countdown on February 23rd and other music programs this week

Girls’ Generation member Seohyun‘s close friend Lee Hwanhee (21) will be debuting as a singer next month.
Hwanhee became an SM Entertainment trainee after placing 1st at one of the company’s teen singing competitions back in 2002. She was initially selected to debut as a member of Girls’ Generation in 2005, but was cut during the final casting.
Hwanhee trained with the members of Girls’ Generation such as Seohyun and Yuri, eating, living, and rehearsing with the girls. But in 2009, she left SM Entertainment altogether and has since joined a different label.
“I have been preparing to debut for so long, starting at SM Entertainment,” she said. “It’s exciting that I am finally making my debut. It’s so surreal, I can’t believe it.”
Seohyun guest-featured on a previous episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Big Brothers‘ and tearfully confessed, “never once did I doubt that we would be in the same group. I was more sad for my friend who couldn’t fulfill her dreams than I was happy for myself.”
Hwanhee is busy recording her album and preparing for her debut next month.

Getting the jump on his South Korean filmmaker brethren when it comes to an English-language debut, Oldboy director Park Chan-wook entered production on his drama Stoker last summer. (I Saw the Devil‘s Kim Ji-woon has The Last Stand with Arnold Schwarzenegger coming early next year and Bong Joon-ho’s Snow Piercer is shooting this spring.) As for the drama written by Prison Break star Wentworth Miller, it has been painfully quiet on distributor Fox Searchlight’s end.
Starring Nicole Kidman, Dermot Mulroney, Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode, Lucas Till, Ralph Brown, Jacki Weaver, Alden Ehrenreich and Phyllis Somerville, no release date is and we hope the swirling rumors of a Cannes 2012 debut become true, but today we finally have a few tidbits. First up, Goode spoke with Digital Spy about the film, confirming it has nothing to do with Bram Stoker himself, only that this is a quasi-horror film in the vein of Shadow of a Doubt.
