Movie icon Jackie Chan surprised one particular celebrity earlier today on January 17 and it’s none other than Super Junior’s Choi Siwon.

Jackie Chan is visiting Korea to promote his latest movie “Police Story 2014” and Super Junior’s Choi Siwon was one of a few celebrities invited to attend the movie premiere at the IFC Mall in Yeouido, Seoul. Everything was like usual with invited celebrity guests walking down the red carpet and giving small words of support until Jackie Chan quickly dropped by during Choi Siwon’s turn to hug and kiss him. It didn’t look planned according to Choi Siwon’s surprised reaction.

UnitedKpop Interviews Lunafly

[aleash1989.livejournal.com]

I’m sure many of our readers are very familiar with Lunafly, who debuted last September and have released a string of successful songs. And as all the British fans know, our very own hometown hero Sam Carter leads the group after being snapped up by Nega Network after his great performance on MBC’s Star Audition 2: Birth of a Great Star.

In this second edition of On the Radar, we got a chance to catch up with Lunafly, and talked about their music, the industry and what kind of superhero they would be if they joined the UKP Hall of Heroes (yes, we genuinely asked them that).

"For our next comeback we may like to try a sad song." That means Can't Stop The Rain!!! It's such a beautifully sad song.

SISTAR'S DASOM is committed to reading the news everyday--no matter how busy or tired

[contralilium.livejournal.com]

SISTAR member Dasom revealed that her nickname is “general idea idol.”

Dasom recently appeared on KBS’s “1 vs. 100” where she talked about being a “general idea idol.” She said, “No matter how busy I am, I always read the news, and I have a lot of interest in current events. When I finish with my schedule for the day, no matter how tired I am, I always read the news on the internet for society/community, economy, politics, and global news.”

Host Han Seok Joon asked her if there is a reason she got interested in current events, at which Dasom replied, “During college, when I went on a trip with my old friends from middle school, someone asked me what the minimum wage was, and I had no idea. I didn’t really know much about the world, and I thought I should know, so I started to get some interest.”

She said, a little shy, that she has shallow knowledge and interest, but eventually showing her resolution, saying that she has been keeping up with the news for a while and that she would turn that effort into skill for the game.

The episode of “1 vs. 100” featuring Dasom airs on January 21.

This is a kind of a ~pointless post  but I really like that Dasom's committed to keeping up with current events and learning new information. Back when I was in school, I used to write weekly essays about what I'd read in the newspaper just to make sure that I was absorbing the info. I'm not thinking about going that far now, but reading the news everyday is something that I need to get on board doing as well.

GOT7's "Got It?" Ranks First In Just A Few Hours

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

Almost as soon as JYP’s newest boy group GOT7’s first mini-album, “Got it?”, was released on the 20th, their title song “Girls Girls Girls” was ranked first on various online music sites.

The members expressed that they were utterly shocked and that they were not expecting this at all. They were extremely humbled by this feat and grateful for all the support. They also promised that they would take this achievement as motivation to do better and always give it their best.

Today, on the 21st, it has dropped several spots but it still remains in the top 5 on several music sites, such as Bugs, Daum and Soribada. On Naver Music and Genie, they remain in the top 10.

GOT7'S JACKSON WANTS HIS GROUP TO BE CALLED "BLACK KIDS" AND "BLACK FREEDOM"

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

UPDATE: TenAsia has now changed all instances where they used the word "black" to word the words "hip-hop". Interesting change of events. As far as I'm aware, they or GOT7 never issued an apology and just silently changed it.

Q. 2PM은 짐승돌이라는 걸출한 수식어가 있다. 갓세븐은 무엇으로 불리고 싶나?
[2pm are known as "beastly idols". What would you like to be called?]
잭슨 : 교포오빠들?
[Jackson: 'Gyopo oppas'?]
멤버들 : 에이, 멋있지가 않다.
[Members: Ey, that's not cool]
영재 : 목포오빠. (웃음) 교포, 목포.
[Youngjae: 'Mokpo oppas' (laughs), Gyopo, mokpo]
유겸 : 흑인 음악 잘하는 아이들?
[Yoogyeom: 'Idols good at doing black music'? (t/n: he means hip-hop...)]
JB : 아, 너무 어렵다. 블랙 소울!
[JB: Ah that's too hard. 'Black soul'!]
잭슨 : (원어민 발음으로) 블랙 키즈.
[Jackson: (native pronunciation) 'Black kids'.
마크 : 날아다니는 아이들
[Mark: 'Flying idols']
잭슨 : 블랙 프리덤
[Jackson: 'Black freedom']
JB : 힙돌, 힙돌.

OP would like to point out that Jackson is proficient in English and his education level is "completed 11th grade at American International School".

EDIT: OP would also like to point out that the above statement isn't a "he should know better because he knows English", it's to point out that he knew what he was saying and wasn't shouting out random English words like a lot of other idols who aren't fluent in English. Thank you ^^
