The hearing for the defamation case against a handful of netizens who continued to accuse Tablo of falsifying his academic credentials will be taking place on March 16.

But the members of We Want the Truth from Tablo (Tajinyo) are undeterred and are continuously brewing up new suspicions.

On March 14, a member of the café posted a question asking who the new judge for the hearing would be. At this, one member dug up the judge’s name, the number of the judicial examination he passed and his alma maters.

Tajinyo first came into being in 2009 and has since continuously brought up suspicions about Tablo’s academics. On March 2010, Tablo sued 12 of those netizens, and the proceedings are currently underway. The fifth hearing was scheduled to take place on December 2011, but it was pushed back to March 16 because the certificate from Stanford University hadn’t arrived.

The judge of the March 16 hearing is new to the case, and Tajinyo members are stating that the trial will not be conducted impartially because he and Tablo’s lawyer had been trained at the same Judicial Research and Training Institute at the same time.

One member said, ‘He trained at the same place as Tablo’s lawyer. This reminds me of the film The Crucible. This looks like a rigged game’.

An official of the case said about the issue, “The issue is completely unrelated. Tajinyo is a group that continuously comes up with new suspicions. There’s no need to put any weight on their words.

The official’s words have much truth to them, as the café has continued to come up with suspicions about Tablo, Insooni’s daughter and Park Jung Hyun, but has never claimed responsibility for the consequences of any of those suspicions. The group is led by a Korean resident in America, a Mr. Kim, that goes under the ID Whatbecomes.

Many are waiting to see what sentence the sued netizens will soon receive in the hearing.

Although communication was a problem, Radio France’s 1st violinist Svetlin Roussev is fluent in Russian and was able to talk with his North Korean counterpart.

“We are witnessing an historic moment that I hope will not be an isolated event because if it was that wouldn’t be very interesting. For now this is an experience lived through our hearts with the music expressing our sentiments, or emotions but this could be the first step towrads something that be immense,” said Roussev.

The concert was all the more remarkable for being the first time the North Koreans have played under a South Korean, the renowned conductor Chung Myung-Whun who is the French orchestra’s musical director.

The YG branch offices in the US and Hong Kong would be working hand in hand with the domestic agency to help the company’s artists in their overseas expansions. Unlike the traditional way of hiring competent coordinators in the country where they will be advancing into, this way of advancement would allow the artists to work with their own domestic company’s branch offices’ staff.

Meanwhile, YG has been extensively using YouTube and social networking systems like Twitter, as marketing tools. Through this, their artists like Big Bang, have topped the charts in iTunes and other international music charts, even without any overseas activities and promotions. With a branch office like YG USA, their artists like idol groups, Big Bang and 2NE1, would be supported by full-time personnel and the necessary manpower, to bring their music into a more international market, and is expected to also make their fanbases increase in number.

Currently, Korea’s music scene is mainly dominated by idols. Like it or not, it’s an undeniable fact. Because boy bands and girl groups are driving Korea’s digital music sales, album sales, concert sales, and they are also at the centre of the rapidly expanding K-pop wave.

And at this point in time, a somewhat unique group has returned to their fans. Seeing how the members have all passed the age of 30, this group can’t really be included into the ‘normal’ category of idols as we know it. But because they began as an idol group 14 years ago, placing the term ‘idol group’ in front of their group name doesn’t seem as awkward. The group in question is Shinhwa, made up of Eric, Lee Minwoo, Shin Hyesung, Kim Dongwan, Junjin and Andy. Of course the title of ‘longest-running’ will always follow them.
