I kept repeating, "I love you Kevin," in the beginning. There was a lot of Kevin and his "Hoony;" I guess we can tell what paring Kevin was shipping back then. lol U-Kiss are such weird and adorable little dorks, and I love them. Hopefully the next ep will have more Eli and Dongho.

Lee Hi’s album release delayed 1 week

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Lee Hi has delayed the release of her first solo album.

Originally, her album and its title song “Rose” was to be released on March 21st, but sadly it will be delayed a week to the 28th. YG Entertainment explained, “We’ve decided that we need more time to work on the music video for ‘Rose’, so we’re going to put in more effort to the product.”

“Rose” is made by none other than Teddy, so in this song, Lee Hi will be going for YG Entertainment’s trademark sound instead of her usual retro soul. Instead of the cute girl we saw in “It’s Over“, Lee Hi turned over into a new image for “Rose”.

It’s sad that her album is delayed, but at least we have “It’s Over” to keep us company until “Rose” comes out!

JYJ’s Yoochun goes dark and tough for fashion magazine ‘Singles’

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

JYJ‘s Yoochun recently completed a photo shoot with fashion magazine ‘Singles‘ for their April edition, as well as an interview.

The concept of the shoot was based on his most recent drama role, Han Jung Woo in ‘I Miss You,’ a tough detective. The shots were darker and tough-looking, with cuts of Yoochun charismatically gazing into the camera.

In the interview he stated, “I’m aiming for acting that looks natural. Honestly, I still need make-up to act better. I have a lot of things to fix because I suddenly started acting straight out of my singing career. However, if I get a little older, I don’t think I’ll worry as much about how I look. I want to try very strong roles, or try my hand at action roles.”

The rest of Yoochun’s photo shoot and interview can be found in the April edition of ‘Singles’ magazine. Check out some more cuts below!

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

The biggest scene stealers in the recently completed Flower Boy Next Door was that of the foul-mouthed raging webtoon editor Kim Seul-gi played by Kim Seul-gi who provided comic relief and ‘real life’ romance in her relationship with webtoon artist Yoo Dong-hoon played by actor Go Kyung-pyo. Go Kyung-pyo and Kim Seul-gie only had supporting roles in the drama, but what time they did have on screen were memorable and made an impact on fans. Both were original cast members of Saturday Night Live Korea and are up-and-coming stars in Korean entertainment, which is why they’re being featured in this week’s Spotlight.

SNSD to Appear on ‘Jounetsu Tairiku’ in Japan

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

Popular K-Pop girl group Girls’ Generation will appear on the March 24th broadcast of TBS’s “Jounetsu Tairiku” at 11 PM JST.

Each episode, “Jounetsu Tairiku” puts the spotlight on different people by bringing closer their charms and honesty (editor’s note: to the viewers). The leading actress this time is the popular Girls’ Generation, who made a great impact with the perfectly complete “beautiful leg dance” at the group’s Japanese debut and has continuing smash hits, such as “Gee” and “MR. TAXI”. As a Korean girl group, Girls’ Generation is expected to have a historical record of mobilizing over 200,000 fans, and “Jounetsu Tairiku” is closely following backstage during this year’s Japan tour.

Crossing over countries and in different languages, the members talk about how “music is heard by the heart.” What are the reasons for the “tears” shown in the spotlight preview? Never before seen sides and faces of the nine different girls of Girls’ Generation are shown with one of Japan’s longest (editor’s note: in terms of runtime) close-up documentaries.

Controversial Book on Abortion in South Korea Triggers Debate

[uledy.livejournal.com]

The recent publication of a book by twenty-five Korean women who had abortions has stirred up debate about the widespread, albeit illegal practice of abortion in South Korea.

The twenty-five women each told the story of their decision and the grief they have dealt with since going ahead with their procedures. Coverage by Seoul News pointed out the ‘inconvenient truth’ that, contrary to public opinion, most women who have abortions are married women, not unwed teenagers.

The women profiled in the new book talked about the discrimination they suffered from doctors, their peers, and their husbands. In the words of Jeong-min, an office worker in her forties, “Telling women they have to give birth no matter what without also changing our perceptions about single mothers or providing more support for them doesn’t make any sense.”

Online reaction to the article called for better sex education in schools, although comments were sharply divided when it came to whose fault it was when a woman has an abortion.

Many readers criticised the twenty-five profiled women for their perceived selfishness, while others attacked men for being reluctant to use contraception.

Tiger JK: “There Was a Strange Kind of Prejudice in France”

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

Tiger JK recently commented on his interesting experiences while performing at a festival in France! Tiger JK recently appeared at the March 18 broadcast of YTN’s “News 12 – Issue and People.” MFBTY (Tiger JK, Yoon Mirae, and Bizzy) performed at the “K-Pop Night Out at MIDEM 2013” on January 27 in France.

Tiger JK stated, “The world music festival was held at the same place as the Cannes International Film Festival. We (MFBTY) were chosen to represent South Korea. Although we were very nervous, it ended well. It was neat because afterwards we became more well-known.”

He continued, “ There was a weird kind of discrimination. It was not really racial discrimination but there was a lot of prejudice about Asians. It was hard for us to pursue our activities. Although we went to represent South Korea, they treated Asians as if they were invisible. We had no presence and we had no expectations because of that.”

He continued, “It was our stage and we even took our own press. However, they did not think of us as artists. There was a happening where we could not even get into our own performance. In the end we did get on stage, and it was a historic moment where for the first time as an Asian a lot of people danced and sung together.”
Tiger JK ended with, “After the performance, we were walking on the street and people recognized us, it felt great. After our performance, a lot of people liked us more.”

U-Kiss agency NH Media merges with MAJOR Entertainment

[aleash1989.livejournal.com]

U-KISS’s agency merges with actor management agency to become ‘NH&MAJOR1998′

It seeming like there’s even bigger and better things in store for U-KISS‘s future as their agency NH Media has merged with actor management agency MAJOR Entertainment to form a new company NH&MAJOR1998.

NH Media confirmed, “Since the establishment of our company, our business mainly focused around record production, and through the merger with MAJOR Entertainment, we plan to become a multi-dimensional entertainment agency pursuing not only music, but actors’ management, drama, films, and various fields. Through the framework of our know-hows that we’ve gathered from our respective fields, we anticipate a harmonious synergy effect in all fields. Please anticipate it.”

Seeing that as U-KISS is now under a company with experience in various fields, perhaps we’ll be seeing more acting opportunities come their way?

Sources: allkpop image: Sports Chosun via Nate

It does seem with all the recent and future shows U-Kiss were/are going to be on, that this merger is a good thing. I mean, maybe this is why members are going to br on Immortal Song!
Does anyone know who was under MAJOR Entertainment?
