fyi, Somin and Eunbyul might be mislabeled since the last pic I have of them is from August and people can't seem to decide who's who (oops). They're supposed to debut in May.

On April 10, YG Entertainment unveiled a picture of an unknown girl on their official blog, sparking the curiosity of many eager fans. The photo was posted under the title, “Who’s that girl?” without any other description, making fans wonder if she’s the newest YG girl group member.
The girl in the picture has a mysterious aura, with her big eyes, long hair, and blank facial expression. Her outfit is rather too modest, pulling a girl-next-door look, which is not too common for YG artists.
Following the release of this photo, fans have been questioning if she’s the latest member of the new girl group YGE’s putting together. In fact, YGE unveiled a practice video of their two trainees, Kim Eunbi and Euna Kim, just last week. Could this be the third member of YGE’s new group? How do you like them so far?

TV host Kang Ho-dong, who quit due to controversy over his alleged tax evasion, has pledged to donate the entire profits from his shares in the restaurant franchise 678 to charity.678 operates about 140 outlets across the country. Kang (42) has a 33.3 percent stake.
"Donating the shares themselves to charity is not readily possible because 678 is not listed on KOSDAQ," a 678 spokesman said. "Instead, Kang will donate the profits from his shares."
Given that 678 was valued at W30 billion (US$1=W1,138) in 2010, and the business has since expanded, the amount Kang can donate is estimated to run into the billions, the spokesman said. He added the chain's headquarters and outlets are planning to join Kang's charitable contributions. "Kang is currently discussing with company executives how and where to donate his money," he said.
A staffer of Kang's agency said, "He has long thought about doing this. We're glad to be able to prepare for long-term donations."
Earlier, Kang also donated a plot of land in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province worth W2 billion to Asan Medical Center in Seoul and started a project to build a school and other facilities for children in Sudan.
Meanwhile, Kang told reporters at the wedding of his former sidekick Woo Seung-min on Sunday that he has "not thought seriously about returning to TV yet."

Sexy queen Ivy will be returning to the music scene after a three year hiatus.
Ivy will be releasing a mini-album titled ‘Interview‘ on April 27th and will actively participate in a promotion cycle.
This album will have a variety of songs with different styles ranging from ballads to medium tempo songs and will surely be a treat for her fans who have been missing her soulful and heartfelt style.
Ivy’s representative stated, “Ivy matured musically while she was on a break and she wanted to show her maturity so that is why the song will be filled with ballads and medium tempo songs. We feel that it will be better received compared to her dance tracks. All of her strengths will really stand out and we are all eagerly anticipating her album.”
Ivy uploaded a teaser image via her homepage (ivynus.com) on April 10th and is planning to continuously greet her fans.
Ivy debuted in July of 2005 with her first album, ‘My Sweet and Free Day‘ and received immense popularity through her hit tracks such as, ‘A-Ha‘, ‘Sonata of Temptation‘, ‘Touch Me‘, and ‘I Must be Stupid.’

As previously reported, the CEO was arrested earlier today for sexually harassing and raping his artists and trainees, with victims totaling to about 30. According to industry representatives, the CEO has been a regular of underground clubs and enjoyed a night out frequently.
One revealed, “When he got drunk, his hands were always the problem. He’d sometimes grope the bodies of female employees.” Another who requested to remain anonymous added, “The entertainment industry is already well aware of his atrocities. He’s one of the worst customers you want when drunk.”
The girl group trainees he allegedly assaulted are no longer with the agency, but when they were, the CEO had managed them himself. All of the trainees were reported to have dormed together.
Another official that knows the inner workings of the company commented, “There used to be rumors that a few of the trainees actually used to be prostitutes, but that was proven to be false… The CEO took care of everything from their debut preparations to training, and even personally drove them around in a van himself.”
Police also revealed that they have received more shocking reports of the CEO allegedly forcing male idol group members to sexually assault his female trainees. The CEO is denying the reports.

The weight scale, female idols greatest fear. This is Woori's and Amber's last episode, btw.

The biggest pop culture event of the year is bound to be Lady Gaga’s concert at Jamsil Olympic Stadium on April 27. When Hyundai Card, the sponsor of the concert, succeeded in getting the singer to kick off her “The Born This Way Ball” tour in Seoul, it was praised for putting Korea on the pop culture map.
Tickets sold out fast, with the singer’s teen fans leading the way.
Buoyant anticipation turned to disappointment and rage when the Korea Media Rating Board decided late last month that no one under the age of 18 could attend the concert - even accompanied by an adult. The board, which is responsible for setting age limits on films and performances in Korea, said Lady Gaga’s songs were too provocative, especially “Just Dance,” a song about clubbing and drinking that has an over-18 rating by the Gender Equality Ministry’s Commission on Youth Protection.
