I can't figure out anything about this group. They may be with Oscar Ent, apparently the home of Bobby Kim? One of the members might be connected to Super Star K? I'm out of the loop.

'9 Muses of Star Empire': Film Review

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

K-pop haters will completely shift their paradigm after watching the documentary "9 Muses of Star Empire," now on its way to North America.

The eye-opening documentary -- which makes its North American premiere on July 26 (more info below) -- shows what goes into creating an act for the market. It follows the story of Korean record label Star Empire Entertainment, which spends more than a million dollars to debut girl group 9 Muses in 2010. If the story truly represents what goes on behind the K-pop scenes, then there's lots of tears, disappointment and rehearsing until you're sick.

Playing off their Greek goddess-inspired name, 9 Muses are marketed as nine model-esque girls crafting sexy, sassy K-pop. While the viewer does not see how the original nine were selected, when one member leaves 9 Muses, the Star Empire execs go to an agency that show them binders full of women (seriously) for the company to pick one to add to the group. The shallow means necessary to become a K-pop star seem to be highlighted, as execs first and foremost need a girl who is similar age of the other girls and is tall with singing and dancing capabilities an afterthought.

‘The Atlantic’ Tells Backstreet Boys to Learn from Shinhwa

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Just wrapping up with Asia tour with two final showed to go, Shinhwa surprisingly found its name featured in US-based magazine, The Atlantic.



On July 23, an article by Amy He popped on The Atlantic’s website with the title, “What the Backstreet Boys Could Learn from K-Pop.” The article talked about how Backstreet Boys may be the longest running group in the history of all boy bands, but may be having a hard time gaining new fans.

Amy He referred Backstreet Boys to Shinhwa, who made its comeback in 2012 after a four year hiatus and still managed to gain new fans while rising to the top of the charts with its new albums.

Kang Ha-neul's interview for 10asia + photoshoot

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Kang Ha-neul was an actor that enough people know in the musical scene. After making his debut in 2006, he appeared in a number of recognizable musicals including “Thrill Me,” “Spring Awakening,” and “Assassin.” And then he got cast as main character Jung Sun-woo to cable channel Mnet’s music drama “Monstar” in 2013. While a musical actor, he appeared in a few films and dramas but not once had he gained so much recognition as he did through “Monstar.” Simply put, he gained stardom.

Music dramas are actually genres that actors would not dare take up unless they are fully equipped and prepared to because you need to both act and sing well. Plus, not everybody gets the main character role.

What a long way of explaining that Kang Ha-neul is an actor who is already equipped with many talents. Now let’s listen to what he had to say.

BEAST’s Son Dong-woon: Then vs. Now

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

The most memorable moment of BEAST’s comeback press conference held on Sunday was when every member of the group praised Son Dong-woon on how much he has grown as an artist. And it is to an extent that Yong Jun-hyung, who produced their latest album, said, “I wanted to take Yo-seop’s main vocalist parts away from him and give them to Dong-woon.” Son Dong-woon stands out among his bandmates as the tallest member of the group. He is also handsome, with distinct facial features and thick double eyelids. But there was a time he didn’t play an active role in neither his group nor the Korean entertainment scene while other members of his group only solidified their presence through individual activities such as releasing solo albums or acting. Yet now he has definite presence in his group, taking on the meaty parts of their songs. TenAsia took a look at his growth as an artist from the moment he debuted until now.
