Kevin is no longer "single since birth!" I have a feeling some people will find this a big shocker. Part of me wants to say his dates with this girl were recent, but a friend said she things it happened during Stop Girl promotions. When do you think Kevin dated her?
It's understandable why Umma Woo would be so protective and attached to her son with all he has been through, however see needs to learn to let go. Girls don't like overly attached mothers or momma's boys. Kevin's momma boy case might just be a sweet one because he's naturally so sweet and kind. Does he come off as too much of a momma's boy?

Things to listen for: bondage, Eli and AJ being U-Kiss's heartbeat, lots of overseas activities, memorable overseas fans (ie. passionate South American who take off their undergarments), the REAL reason why Party All the Time was written, experience with Backstreet Boys

Okay I flailed like 101 times while watching this the first time. I even had to pause the video multiple times. I think Kevin may have been embarrassed by the passionate South American fans comments. I mean, I love the boy, but he doesn't seem like the type to like that. So how many KISSMEs are going to become passionate fans now? lol For srs not me. I can tell you that. I keep my clothes on.

Rookie Do Ji-han has been cast for the upcoming drama "Basketball"

"Basketball" is Do Ji-han's first leading drama since his debut and it's about the subject of basketball and the love, friendship and conflicts between youths who swim through the dark during the Japanese colonial era and independence.

Just before Korea was divided into the North and South, a basketball team under the name Korea participated in the 1948 Olympics for the first and last time ever and made it to the semi-finals.

Do Ji-han takes on the role of Kang-san, one of the main characters who make it to the semi-finals.

The character suits Do Ji-han in the common factor that they both head for their dreams with will power and they change risks into opportunities.

Do Ji-han has starred in the movie "My Way", "Neighbors", "The Tower", SBS drama "Incarnation of Money" and more.

So two basketball dramas airing at once (or around the same time) on tvN if Reply 1994 is going to air around that time too? This sounds like it'll be good though.

Remember this guy?

As it turns out, he's not just some random, but a professional Psy impersonator with industry connections:

"My manager, and I have been working together a couple of months now, touring around nightclubs in France. Then we hired a communications team to help us plan how we were going to [get into A-list parties at Cannes]. So we had some people situated in the business - I'm not going to give out names, but people who are very high profile people."

Fake Psy speaks! Impersonator Denis Carré on how he fooled Cannes, Gangnam Style
By Oliver Franklin 25 May 13

The biggest story from this year's Cannes Film Festival hasn't been any premiere , but that of Fake Psy. An imposter dressed as the K-pop sensation behind "Gangnam Style" gained access to star-studded parties, photobombed celebrities, and even appeared on French radio before being outed by the real Psy thanks to a photograph on Instagram.

Now Fake Psy has been revealed as 34-year-old South Korean business consultant turned professional Psy impersonator Denis Carré. GQ managed to get in touch with Carré, to tell us how he did it…

GQ: So how did you get into impersonating Psy?
Denis Carre: I used to live in Ireland for over 12 years, between Dublin and Cork. I was a business consultant; I specialized in the fashion and luxury industry. But since all of this happened towards the end of last year my career changed and I embodied completely the Psy lookalike role.

How did Cannes come about - have you been planning this for a while?
Yes indeed. For the French market I'm not that unknown - I've been on television several times in France already and also in Spain. So we were thinking, "OK, where do we need to go to make a big buzz?" Quite frankly we weren't expecting it to go to this extent, but we knew Cannes was probably the ideal venue to gain as much awareness as possible. So the aim was for people to discover who I am, as a lookalike. Obviously, it makes commercial sense in terms of the fact that we already have more requests for bookings from nightclubs. But the principle aim was purely a one shot marketing/public relations trick. The aim was not - as a lot of the press is saying at the moment - to drink for free and eat for free! Especially that a lot of the people who invited us knew who I was really, and they were involved in the game. So the game was for them to say "Oh, I got tricked!" Where a lot of them, I assure you, were totally aware of what we were doing.

You say "we"?
My manager, and I have been working together a couple of months now, touring around nightclubs in France. Then we hired a communications team to help us plan how we were going to do it. So we had some people situated in the business - I'm not going to give out names, but people who are very high profile people. If you were to hear the names, you would say "wow". You would never expect that from these kind of people, actually. But that's how we got the pass into every A-list night at the Cannes festival.

How many people knew it was you, and how many thought you were the real Psy?
The vast majority thought I was him. I would say there was three categories of people: the people who believed I was him, the people who had doubts but didn't dare come and ask me, and finally the category of people who knew basically who I was. Who was the most famous person I met? I cannot give names for the simple reason that for me, this was work. I really want to protect the identity of the people that I met. So I won't provide names, but I'm sure if you look at some of the pictures you can see who was there and when.

How much effort did you put into looking like him?
This is the funny thing about the whole thing - I never worked hard on looking like him. It was funny to read in the press that I bought the same jacket just to look like him - there a pictures of me back three or four years ago where I dressed exactly the same. The clothes that I have are clothes that I've had for ages. That's the reason people confused me with him at the beginning. I would say that he stole my style! The only thing I did to imitate him was to remove my socks. I read in interviews that he doesn't like wearing socks. So that's the only thing I had to get used to.

Did you practice the dance? There's a video going around of you doing a demonstration for a French radio station…
Yeah. For example, those guys totally knew who I was - it was all staged and prepared. That's an example of people who knew, but knew that adding that would add buzz to them and a buzz to the whole thing.

What's next for you?
The next step is to meet the real Psy. We are trying to do that and I would love that, because he changed my life. I'm launching my first single by Wednesday this coming week, hopefully. I've had offers as well coming from the TV… I can't really say more at the moment.

So would you say it worked?
Oh yes, it worked! I've lined up seven interviews already with Korean TV. But the one thing I really want to say to the crowd out there, is I really didn't do that to take advantage of anyone or to upset anyone. It was just a marketing shot, and I did it for entertaining people.

Prior to embarking on his new career as a Psy impersonator, Dennis Carré was a sales manager.

I'm not sure whether it's better or worse that this was a publicity stunt by a professional marketing guy...

This isn't even the half of it! Not mentioned in this post is Eunjung being thrown off a horse on her drama set and being sent straight to prerecord their Cry Cry comeback stage, Jiyeon damaging her knee ligament on the IGCBOY MV (that's why she's missing in 75% of the video) and being sent straight to the God of Study set to continue filming and then straight to M Countdown to perform, when they made Eunjung take her full leg cast off weeks early so she could continue filming Dream High (her leg never fully healed which is why she was on crutches again just a year later), the girls suspicious tweets about depression that even allude to suicidal thoughts. Even Cha Eun Taek has talked about how he was worried Eunjung would do something to herself at one point =(

Not overwhelming but quite different from their other stuff. It's slow and very mellow. I like the little acoustic guitar bit and hear piano (good job Kyumin)

You-know-who's voice sounds amazeballs as usual. Kyumin sounds good but seems to be transitioning roles from singer to rapper/pianist. (which is a shame since his voice is nice too, but then again so is everyone else's actually, and Hyoseok is also a decent rapper so whatever)
My wallet is somewhat prepared for this album to drop though. Bring it on.

Will update with official audio should that ever come out.

4minute, who recently came out on top of the Billboard K-Pop charts, will be extending their promotions.

Cube Entertainment, home to the girl group told Star News over the phone, “Considering 4minute’s title track ‘What’s Your Name’ receiving a lot of love and support from the fans, it has been decided that 4minute will promote the song a little more.”

They continued, “4minute is currently maintaining their top spot on both music shows and experiencing a long run atop music charts, we are planning to extend this round of promo.” The agency then added, “It is still undecided until when they’ll continue with promotions and which song they’ll follow up with. Since 4minute came back for the first time in a year and are receiving a lot of love, we want to pay back the fans with more energy filled promos in the future.”

Even though 4minute’s comeback fell on April 26th, they are still on top of the Melon chart and are still successful. Moreover, they reached #1 on Billboard for the week of June 1, proving their tremendous popularity.

It's finally time for After School fans to rejoice!

While other groups have their comebacks left and right, After School fans were left bouncing on their toes hoping for a comeback. Pledis Entertainment has just told allkpop that After School is going to be one of the June comeback groups! The ladies will be flaunting their model-esque legs again for us on June 13th!

So far, they've had songs like "Bang!" or "Shampoo", where they had a strong performance only for the intro, but this time around, fans will be able to see the girls full-on intense performances for the entire stage! The girls have been practicing for 6 months for this comeback, and they're still giving everything into performing.

Although June 13th seems too far away, we'll just have to sit tight for these ladies to return once again with their 6th Maxi Single!

As I've said A hundred times, MBLAQ is coming back. They said they are ready to take it to the next level and I think they did.
This will either be a hot mess or a hot comeback.
If VIXX can do all those weird make up, well just wait for MBLAQ.
Without further ado..............
Why is JTC so insistent with the FEATHERS?!! Now it's not GO but Joon?!
GO is shirtless and Seungho has a wig

It wasn't too long ago since INFINITE told how it was like to be a "Man in Love", but the boys seem to be already gearing up for another comeback.

On May 22, the members headed over to Universal Studios in California to film their next music video. They have the honor of being the first K-pop group to obtain permission to film where huge blockbusters like 'Transformers' and 'The Amazing Spiderman' were filmed. Only top stars such as Lady Gaga and Chris Brown were previously allowed permission to film there.

INFINITE's label said, "They're filming a new MV that's on the scale of Hollywood blockbusters. A total investment of 1,000,000,000 KRW (approximately $890,000 USD) went into this new MV. They'll be filming not just at Universal Studios but also 4-5 other locations across Los Angeles."

The label added, "The new album will have the best songs. It's a blockbuster concept with the best music and video staff." INFINITE will be in Los Angeles for around 10 days.

Psy was booed off the stage in Italy.

On May 26, he performed for the 2013 Coppa Italia Final between A.S. Roma and Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. He was invited to perform "Gangnam Style", but when he started to perform, the entire audience started to boo, and when he was done he was met with a chorus of boos instead of the usual cheers.

In an interview afterwards, he said, "Italy is famous for being a passionate country. I understand yesterday's response. I know what it means. Similar things happen in Korea when two teams go against each other."

Not only did the audience boo him, they sang their own cheer song for their team, throwing off the entire performance. Psy himself understood that the fans wanted to see the match itself since it was a final, not a performance by a Korean artist who seemed to have no relation to the match. What do you think about the response?
