Song Joong Ki to enlist this August!!!!!

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

Do you hear that? That's the sound of fans wailing as they come across the news of Song Joong Ki's inevitable enlistment into the military being announced! And that date has been set for less than a month away on August 27!

Song Joong Ki reached out to fans through his agency, writing, "How are you? This is Song Joong Ki. Recently, I received the enlistment notice from the Military Manpower Administration. I will enlist on August 27. I will conclude my promotional activities well during the time I have left and plan to enter the training facility. I sincerely thank everyone who has supported and loved me. Since I can't give my farewell greeting to each and every one of you, I am delivering my thankful heart through this message. I will return after carrying out my military duties for 2 years. ^^ Until I can greet you all with a good production, please be healthy and well."

Although the news come as a short notice, those attending his fan meeting on August 17 will have a chance to say goodbye to the actor before he enlists.

KBS offers an ambiguous response to the possibility of JYJ's future broadcast appearances

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

KBS has released a statement concerning JYJ's potential broadcast promotions following fans' demands made to the broadcast station after the Fair Trade Commission issued a sanction against SM Entertainment and Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry.

With FTC announcing their sanction calling out SME and KFPCAI's interference with JYJ's activities, hopeful fans rushed to boards of broadcast stations to demand an answer about whether JYJ will finally be allowed on various TV programs. KBS responded, but their answer has left fans raising their eyebrows with the vague nature of the response.

KBS stated on their official homepage, "As we understand it, The Fair Trade Commission's sanction is directed towards SM Entertainment, the 'Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry (KFPCAI)', and the organizations and companies that make up the KFPCAI. Also, the possibility of artists' broadcast appearances are determined by the individual programs' coordinators. Actors and singers will be invited according to the individual program's needs."

What are your thoughts about their response?

So, I guess that's a no

AOA black for 10Asia

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

When all other girl groups were working hard on practicing their dance moves, AOA took things an step further and also buried themselves in playing instruments. So they are an eight-member group but pursue their activities as dance group AOA (excluding drummer You-kyung) and as band unit AOA Black (five members). And with their differentiated concept as both a band and dance group, they have already held showcases in Singapore and Japan with just two single albums less than a year into their debut. Of course, there are those who doubt they are serious with their band activities. So they have made their comeback as their band unit AOA Black, releasing their third single “MOYA” on July 26.

G-Dragon's Camp Says K-Pop Star Wasn't Wearing Blackface

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Says Trayvon Martin-like Instagram photo was both "HUGE misunderstanding" and reference to cover art from Big Bang mastermind's next solo effort



An Instagram photo of South Korean pop idol G-Dragon wearing what appears to be a hoodie and dark coloring over his skin was not meant as a comment on race or politics, according to a rep for the Big Bang leader.

"GD was simply wearing different facepaint colors and this is a HUGE misunderstanding," the spokesperson said in an email to SPIN. "The facepaint is only a color variation for his album cover which includes black, white, and red. It is in no way meant to be a political or racial statement."

That's some Justin Bieber level of PR...

EDIT:
the official omona twitter has shared our open letter with authors from spin and the la times who wrote articles about GD.
