miss A’s Jia Talks about her Recent Scandal with EXO’s Tao

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Miss A’s Jia talked about her recent scandal with Exo’s Tao in an interview.

As the first girl group to be invited to The Music Interview, the members of miss A shared their thoughts on Mnet’s Wide Entertainment News on November 12.

During the interview, the MC Jung Ji Chan brought up the rumor about how Jia takes care of the Chinese members of EXO, which led to a recent scandal between her and Tao. Tao had even used the picture of Jia’s cat as his Kakao profile picture.

Jia swayed off the scandal saying, “I don’t just take care of the Chinese members of EXO. There is a Chinese member in f(x), and Tasty is also Chinese.”

She continued by saying, “I don’t know why I became the leader of this ‘Chinese circle,’ but I always end up making the schedule, and cook for those who cannot go home for Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving). I think I have a rather manly personality”

Miss A will also talk about what happened when they were working on their new album, and their performances of their hit songs Hush, Good-bye Baby Good-bye, and Touch.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

After volunteering her time in Africa, Nam Gyuri revealed her new life goal.

On November 12, Nam Gyuri, along with a group of stars, appeared for the press conference for SBS’ Hope TV SBS at the Prism Tower in Sangam-dong.

“I didn’t know. It’s embarrassing but I didn’t know why people went all the way to Africa to help people there when there are so many people in need in Korea,” said Nam Gyuri, reflecting upon her experiences in Rwanda. “But after I came back from Rwanda, I thought a lot.”

She explained that she realized that she was disappointed in herself for taking things for granted while living in a stable environment in Korea, where she’s able to do and learn many things.

“My visit to Africa became very special to me. If it’s possible, I want to continue visiting and spreading warm hearts.”

Nam Gyuri talked about how many stars started building schools in Africa in their names. “I also want to help with that. If it’s possible, my goal is to build five schools before I die.”

Nam Gyuri’s experiences in Rwanda will air on November 15 and 16.

[goldynchickie.livejournal.com]

SHINee is shining in various areas as well as in the K-pop world. SHINee has already proved their power in the K-pop world with their fifth mini album ‘Everybody’. Each member of SHINee has his own personality. Min-ho is appearing on MBC’s drama series ‘Medical Top Team’ as an actor while Tae-min is appearing on MBC’s variety show ‘We Got Married’ as a manly man. Jong-hyun and Key are expanding their area of interest into songwriting and musical, respectively.

The leader Onew of SHINee, which marks the fifth anniversary of its debut this year, played a big part in each member being active in various areas. Onew’s gentle but sometimes charismatic leadership has led the team to be in the current position. Then, what is Onew’s own leadership like? In 2010, SHINee said conditions of a good leader in an interview with KBS2’s ‘Entertainment Weekly’. Onew turned out be have all conditions such as responsibility, eloquence, charisma, spirit of self-sacrifice, and handsome face. Today’s ‘Let’s Meet SHINee’ take a close look at Onew’s leadership based on the conditions of a good leader put forth by the SHINee members.

Personally this is what I thought he should have been doing all along. I don't think he has the confidence and fearlessness needed for variety anymore and he is a pretty decent actor to begin with. This production seems low-key enough to be a good place to ease back in. My heart broke a little at the PDs words though. I hope he can channel his sadness into a moving performance.

GD's part starts at 41.04, before that there are some other people if you're interested.

He's gotten better at variety I think, the way he retorts the mc's questions. Also I swear his fans are always the best. "Do you love GD?" "I totally love him." "Do you want to marry him?" "I don't love him that much." lol poor Jiyong.

Is This the Beginning of YG's Domination? Big Bang, 2NE1, Akdong Musician, Lee Hi, and More

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

YG Entertainment's big guns are all aiming for an end of the year domination of the music scene.

Big Bang is taking over the fall and winter music charts with each individual members releasing a solo single. Seungri, G-Dragon, and Taeyang have consecutively dominated the charts, and TOP recently announced that his single will drop this week. Every single song by Big Bang members has reached the top of the charts, and there is high anticipation for TOP's upcoming solo single as well.

2NE1 is also releasing their single in a few weeks and will showcase the new single on Mnet Asia Music Awards. When this single reaches the top spot, it will be their third number one single of 2013.

Big Bang and 2NE1 are the two groups that represent YG. G-Dragon has risen to become an international icon featured in European and American  media, while Taeyang has dominated the Asian charts with his new single, "Ringa Linga", which was written by none other than his best friend, G-Dragon.

Eunhyuk's twitter password must be 'Oppa Oppa' or something because he got hacked YET again

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

Only two days have passed since Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk fell victim to hackers, and seems like his Twitter has now been hacked again.

Both of the tweets feature the same picture collage of Superstar K4′s Hwang Seol Lin, whose nude pictures were uploaded Eunhyuk’s Twitter on November 11. Judging from this, it is very likely that the same person has hacked Eunhyuk’s Twitter this time around.

The first tweet says, “Proof that this was Hwang Seol Lin during the live finals. The top picture and the fourth bare-faced selca are a perfect match, her hairstyle matches as well, right? In the second photo, her hair is short, but if you look at the fifth selca you can see that her hair is short. She used a hair straightener to curl her bangs inwards, but in the nude photo she just did not style her hair.”

allkpop interviews with a Korean media outlet

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

Asia Econ's interview with Johnny Noh of allkpop.

1. How did this happen?

At the end of June, we received an offer in our tip box regarding nude pictures of singer Ailee. When we called him, we were able to find out that he was a foreigner living in Toronto, Canada. He asked for $3,500 for the pictures. We told him, "Leaking the photos will cause big problems later." He replied to us, "I'm scared of that as well. I'll stop here."

2. Did you contact YMC?

It was an important matter so we directly contacted a YMC staff member. They actually told us that we were making it up and when we asked why, they accused our staff member, Ailee's ex-boyfriend, of trying to sell the photos to Dispatch. They said that if this was to become a problem later, they'd take legal action so we were free to do whatever we wanted.

Siwon and Hyoyeon for L'uomo Vogue

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

Super Junior‘s Siwon and Girls’ Generation‘s Hyoyeon participated in the shooting for the November issue of Italian fashion magazine L’uomo Vogue.

Siwon and Hyoyeon were chosen to be the artists to represent Korea. L’uomo Vogue is a male edition of the global fashion magazine as well as economics and politics.

Some pictorial spreads have been revealed. Siwon wore traditional hanbok with black coat to be all matchy, showing off his manly beauty. What impressive is that he also wore traditional footwear and walked around the Korean traditional houses.

Hyoyeon’s pictorial feels an unique sexiness. She slipped on her hanbok skirt with checked jacket, mixmatching Korean traditional clothes and European famous fashion brand.

Many other Korean celebrities have participated in this special feature article, such as a vocalist Jo Sumi, a mayor of Seoul Park Won Soon, a ballerina Kang Sue Jin, Kim Hee Sun, and Lee Byung Hun. They were also introduced as the person to represent Korea.

While I'm not entirely sure what I watched, it was amusing. Seems like the two horses were buds way back when, but as they got better at racing one became more popular than the other. And when the brown horse got pushed to the side more he became the white one's rival or something? I couldn't tell if they reconciled at the end or if that was just a flashback though.

First Images of "You Came From the Stars" Released!

[uledy.livejournal.com]

It has been two years since Kim Soo Hyun starred in a drama, MBC’s The Moon That Embraces The Sun, and we might see him again in a period costume (or maybe in a futuristic space suit), as his alien character in "You Came From The Stars" makes Earth his home during the Joseon Dynasty.

In the meantime, we’re having an initial peek at his present day style. Sporting a modern hair and looking sharp in a black suit while he bikes, you wouldn’t know his character Do Min Joon is an ageless alien.

Soo Hyun’s first shoot was held at Gwanghwamun, and he didn’t lose concentration as he immersed himself into the character despite the crowds that gathered around him.

After completing the shoot, Soo Hyun thanked the support of many people and promised to work hard on his character.

You Came From The Stars will air its first episode on December 11th (I've been reading December 25th everywhere else sooooo).

Dispatch Releases Audio Recording of Phone Call with Ailee’s Ex-Boyfriend

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

On the morning of November 14, news agency Dispatch released the audio recording of their phone call with Ailee’s ex-boyfriend. The video was shared through their official Dispatch YouTube channel.

As we previously reported, after news that Ailee’s nude photos have been shared online, Dispatch released a statement that they had previously been contacted by someone who claimed to be Ailee’s ex-boyfriend and had nude photos he wanted to sell. When Dispatch responded that there might be issues with the sale of photos a person received personally, the ex-boyfriend replied that Dispatch’s answer was different from another media outlet- he would contact that one. The conversation went on with Dispatch warning the “ex” of the legality of his actions.

The conversation in the audio recording goes exactly as Dispatch reported, with the Dispatch employee repeatedly warning the caller about the consequences of his actions.

On November 13, Ailee’s agency clarified the origins of the photos. “Ailee was scammed into taking nude photos for a fake lingerie company. We have records that she reported this matter to the police. The police agency in U.S. also has the records. What we said is the truth.”

The agency also added, “The important thing is to find the culprit and get Ailee back on track. Still, it was very frustrating that not only netizens, but also some media outlets have expressed their doubts on her story.”
