Although it comes as short notice, RaNia will be making a comeback after a six-month hiatus this week with the release of a mini album on the 8th!
The group made various announcements on their official fan cafe, but with quite a few announcements falling through and never really coming into action, fans have been waiting to see if they would keep their word this time around without any delays.
It seems plans are indeed finalized as they’ve released press releases today regarding their upcoming comeback with a new photo!

mods, sorry for posting so much lol, but please ignore my first post, the teaser just came out!

The anticipation of fans is being heightened by the message that girl group f(x)'s Sulli has left on her SNS.
On the 6th Sulli uploaded a photo in which she is making a cute expression along with the message, "Probably will see each other often now? Us?" on her Me2Day.
Fans are displaying hot interest, questioning whether Sulli's message is hinting at f(x)'s comeback or Sulli's solo activities. Fans expressed their anticipation with messages such as "Unnie, I want to meet with you quickly," and "I'm waiting for your comeback."
f(x) released their second mini album Electric Shock last June and received much love as well as high praise from many critics for the album's level of quality and completion.

With their debut just around the corner, Ladies’ Code introduced themselves once again through a lovely pictorial for ‘High Cut‘ fashion magazine.
RiSe has pageant experience having been a contestant of the 2009 Miss Korea Competition as the finalist representing Japan region as a Japanese-born Korean, so it comes as no surprise that the girls channeled a pageant look for their first pictorial with their sashes adorned with their names.

Lee Hi may be only 16 years old (international age) but she sounds way beyond her years through her deep, soulful voice. It seems she will continue to use that soulful voice of hers to take on genres rarely heard in K-pop for her upcoming album, ‘First Love‘!
Lee Hi had music fans grooving along to her hit debut song “1, 2, 3, 4“, which had what is described as a retro soul sound, and the singer will continue to explore her musical options as she takes on genres of jazz, and rhythm and blues. Yang Hyun Suk,who directly participated in the directing the production for the album, stated, “Lee Hi’s first solo album will not be about ranking or popularity, and instead, will just focus on creating a masterpiece of an album.”
Lee Hi’s album track list features the works of names like Teddy, Tablo, Choice 37, Masta Wu, Lydia Paek, Kush, and Realmee, leavings fans curious to see how these top names will have helped interpret genres rarely heard in K-pop.
Stay tuned for the release of Lee Hi’s first title track “It’s Over” and five other songs, which will be released on the 7th, as well as her second title track “Rose” and the rest of the album tracks on the 21st!

This is a remake of another song, and Joo Won previously expressed his difficulties with recording, as he said, “The original song [by AshGray] itself is a difficult song, so I had a lot of difficulties, but I tried hard to give a different feel from the original version. With the help of a talented composer, I finished the OST recording successfully.”

Yang Hyun Suk to donate $922,000 USD to help children in need
It’s been revealed that YG Entertainment‘s CEO Yang Hyun Suk will be donating around 1 billion KRW (approximately $922,000 USD) to help children in need.
As YG Entertainment had a very fruitful 2012, the company decided to pay dividends to its stockholders at around 300 won per share (approximately $0.28). As Yang Hyun Suk is the largest stockholder of YG Entertainment, holding around 3.6 million shares, the dividend of 300 won per share amounts to nearly 1 billion KRW.
A representative from YG Entertainment revealed, “From the start, CEO Yang Hyun Suk had been planning to donate the money he made from stocks. He thinks of it as the result of people showing love to YG Entertainment and its artists, so he’ll keep donating. With the donations, he’s going to help children that need surgery but don’t have the money. He hasn’t decided on any specifics, but he’s personally looking through people who need help, and he’s going to hand the money himself instead of giving it to a charity.”
Looks like making music isn’t the only thing the CEO is good at.

That's actually very nice of him.
So if you had the money, Omona, to which charities would you donate? :)

Prior to her comeback, sexy soloist has revealed yet jacket picture for her title song ‘Oops!’.
G.NA who will be making her comeback with a new album on the 14th, has revealed her lovable and sexy charms through her jacket picture posted via Cube Entertainment’s official SNS.
With her fiery red hair, G.NA wore a unique T-shirt while showing off her collarbone.

G.NA's title track off her 4th mini-album BEAUTIFUL KISSES, "Oops!" was written by Lim Sanghyuk and Son Youngjin. It has a sweet melody that will captivate listeners and remind them of when they fell head over heels for someone. The lyrics also express a woman's affections for a younger man and whether he would accept her for who she is and become her boyfriend.
BTOB member Jung IlHoon featured his rap in the song, adding more sweetness to G.NA’s charming voice.

Yoon Si-yoon transformed his public image with an unconventional role as a free-spirited and fun-loving guy in "The Pretty Boy Next Door". By Yang Gwang-sam
Rising actor Yoon Si-yoon's roles have always seemed a perfect match. He debuted as a troubled yet considerate teenager in "High Kick Through The Roof" (2009) and was a patient and hard-working baker hopeful in "Bread, Love and Dreams" (2010). Just like his characters, Yoon, 26, is a considerate man of few words.
His recent role, however, broke the trend. Enrique Geum from "The Pretty Boy Next Door" arrives in Seoul from Spain and is a free-spirited, fun-loving and bubbly character who eventually falls in love with a lonely girl who has few friends (played by Park Sin-hye).
Though just 16 episodes, the cable drama on tvN has generated a lot of buzz, especially for Yoon's gifted portrayal of his unique character.
Ilgan Sports, the sports and entertainment daily of the JoongAng Ilbo, recently caught up with Yoon and bombarded him with questions about his recent role and immediate plans.

The popular real variety program, KBS’ 1 Night 2 Days will be going through some major changes, starting with a PD change.
On March 6, it was revealed through several KBS representatives that Choi Jae Hyung PD, aka Bird PD, as he′s called on the program, will be leaving the show. “It appears that Choi Jae Hyung PD will be leaving after the recording on March 15.”
Choi Jae Hyung PD’s replacement is currently under discussion, with Hello’s Lee Sae Hee PD named as a strong candidate. Lee Sae Hee PD has worked on Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook and Sang Sang Plus in the past.
With Choi Jae Hyung PD leaving the show, there may be some changes in staff and possibly the cast as well, but nothing is carved into stone as discussions for the show’s renovation are still taking place.
Choi Jae Hyung PD has been in charge of 1 Night 2 Days since March of 2012.

OP's thoughts summarized: Bird PD was nice but not right for the job, Joo Won might quit/get booted cause he NEVER TALKS, Kang Ho Dong should make a comeback.

from the yt description:
A tribute album to the world famous producer David Foster, [HITMAN PROJECT] releases the second album "Hard To Say I'm Sorry".
The second album of [HITMAN PROJECT] is one the Korea's favorite pop songs, ranked 8th "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" sung by the legendary pop band Chicago. For this album, music director Lee Seunghwan, best Korean female vocalist Lee Sora, and YoungJi worked together.
Producer Lee Seunghwan directed the OST of A Love Story(Siwolae), Love Letter as well as Lee Sora's 'The Wind is Blowing', 'Dancing with You', and 'Not Anymore'.
Lee Sora's voice is amazing♥ You might remember her from her feature in Tablo's Home (though she's known for a lot more than that). I honestly didn't watch the video, but the song sounds amazing.
