VIXX
member N‘s cryptic tweets about not wanting to be an idol all make sense now!

Rookie boy group VIXX will be making return to the music scene with their 3rd single ‘Don’t want to be an Idol‘ on January 17th.

However, as a treat to fans, VIXX has pre-released the song “Don’t want to be an Idol” today! “Don’t want to be an Idol” is an acoustic love song designed as an opportunity to showcase the talented vocal abilities of the members.

Give the song a listen and let us know if their vocals shine.

From JYJ’s emotional, delicate, and beloved vocalist Kim Jaejoong’s first solo mini-album “I”.

Co-produced by Kim Jaejoong, recognized as a singer-songwriter who worked on JYJ’s album and songs from his dramas and movies.

Kim Jaejoong wants to work on a rock genre album with collaboration from Kim Bada, vocalist of Sinawe and only Kim Jaejoong’s explosive vocals can give justice to the songs. After 10 years since his debut, the lyrics of all the songs directly captured and expressed all the emotions he felt while working as a singer and actor. It is also an honest confession about his life through music. To describe this album, it is simply a “piece of work”.

Only 5 songs T_T )
Jaejoong was lyricist and/or composer in 4/5 songs

They had a fansigning in Busan, Sandeul's home city, so that's why he went home and they didn't. My dash is full of Banas' happiness that the boys got some time off, I think there were oaths of loyalty sworn to WM Entertainment for their continued decency to the group. Their schedule lso has nothing on it currently; my theory is that they're doing comeback prep now. Songs to write, dances to learn, etc etc.

20130106_composers

Although January looks like another fierce month for the multitude of artist comebacks and stages, the hardest work of all is up to the composers themselves – for without a song, the groups cannot make a comeback, and without a good song, the comeback will fall flat. Composer such as Brave Brothers, Sweetune, and others are furiously preparing for a rush of debuts and comebacks.

Already a respected composer in pop music, Brave Brothers has previously composed for SISTAR19, who are gearing up for their comeback. Brave Brothers is already familiar with SISTAR, having delivered hit tracks suck as “Ma Boy“, “So Cool“, and “Alone“.

Sweetune is bringing forth Nine Muses as his strongest hand. Having already composed plenty of hit songs for the girl group – such as “Figaro“, “News“, and “Ticket“, he is planning to take it up another notch with their impending comeback. “The luxuriant and sexy atmosphere of the song is a level above anything you’ve heard before,” teased a representative for Star Empire Entertainment, Nine Muses’ parent company. “Hand-in-hand with the unique song, we are preparing an out-of-this-world stage.”

The upcoming new subunit of 4minute, currently untitled, but composed of Gayoon and Jiyoon, will be bringing out a fresh track from hit-maker Lee Sang Ho, the composer behind B2ST‘s “Shock“. Their new track is speculated to be in a ‘country pop’ style, a genre never before seen in Korea.

allkpop+nate

Omona what song are you most excited to hear? Obviously, I am all for Nine Muses, but 2yoon's sounds interesting.

This MV is honestly so well done. I couldn't even watch T-ARA's 20 minute MVs but this one is different. The story was really sad and moving. It really gave me chills! The actors were point as well. Naeun's acting really surprised me!! Good song & good MV! I just wished that CCM let the vocalists of the group sing Minkyung's parts and this would be perfect. Omg sorry I just have so much feeeeeels!!

The Washington Post published the article Brothers of North Korea’s Kim Jong Eun notably absent on the North Korean leader's siblings. The full article is also at the source. I broke up the article according to the author's sections.

SEOUL — Kim Jong Eun is portrayed in North Korea’s official state media as a leader without comparison, blessed with a supreme bloodline, flanked by a supportive wife and endowed with the “brilliant” ability to revamp the economy, command an army and guide the space program.

But one thing is notably absent from these descriptions: any mention of his two brothers, both of whom were once rumored to be heirs to the family-run empire.

As Kim prepares for his nationally celebrated birthday on Tuesday, thought to be his 30th, his brothers are far away from the state-sanctioned spotlight, one living in secrecy in North Korea, the other apparently moving between China and Singapore.

Their absence, North Korea watchers say, is integral to the personality cult that emphasizes Kim Jong Eun’s unique suitability to run the nuclear-armed nation. In state propaganda, Kim Jong Eun is depicted as an only son, his inheritance predetermined and uncontested.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, front left, poses with his first-born son Kim Jong Nam, front right, and his relatives in Pyongyang in this Aug. 19, 1981 photo.
Others are Sung Hye Ryang, back left, elder sister of Kim's former wife Sung Hye Rim and Sung's two children Lee Nam Ok, center back, and Lee Il Nam, right back.

It’s become a recent trend for celebrities to keep promises if their drama or movies hit a certain number, and it was the same for tvN’s Flower Boys Next Door.

During the press conference for the drama on January 3, Park Shin Hye promised a free hug event if the drama’s ratings reached 5%.

As the female lead made her promise, the two male leads whispered and discussed what they would do if the drama reached 5 percent.

I really want this to happen, just for the scandal it would cause ahahaha!

The popularity of JYJ’s Kim Jae Joong has been reflected once more.

Kim Jae Joong opened up ticket sales online on January 7 for his upcoming mini concert, Your, My and Mine.

However, as soon as ticket sales opened up, all 16,000 seats sold out, and the influx of traffic ended up crashing the server.

Shortly after, Kim Jae Joong and his concert became the most searched term on various online portal sites, as well as on the ticket reservation site, Interpark.

Interpark also added Kim Jae Joong’s concert ticket sale site brought in the most number of international visitors ever.

The upcoming mini concert is Kim Jae Joong’s first solo concert in Korea and will look to show Kim Jae Joong not only as an artist but a diverse entertainer. The mini concert will be divided into three parts including a fan meet, a production history talk and then the mini concert.

While Kim Jae Joong’s solo album won’t be released until January 17, a preview track, titled One Kiss will be unveiled later today (January 8 KST).

South Korean singer and actor Lee Seung Gi makes K-Pop Hot 100 chart history when he became the first South Korean artist to reign six weeks at number one in Billboard's K-Pop Hot 100, the first since it was introduced in August 2011.

Lee achieved the feat with his charming ballad "Return" which successfully secured the top spot for a month and a half, shielding off equally popular acts like IU and PSY. Both K-Pop artists holds a record of five weeks for their hit singles "You and I" (IU) and "Gangnam Style" (PSY) according to a blog post on Korea.com.
