Spica were meeting with producers pic.twitter.com/rqtW94ZMnF— keisukemoonlight (@keisukemoonlite) May 7, 2014( ☆☆☆☆☆ )
keisukemoonlight: 1 2 3 4 5 6
think they're done recording since the producers have left Korea. couldn't find out much about keisukemoonlight except that he's the producer of Detective Conan title song 'Feel Your Heart'. these pics aren't helping with the mystery.. why so many producers (Daniel Merlot, Cory Enemy, Daniel Bedingfield, Keisuke) from the US and Japan? why was Boa singing an English song? is this for the June comeback or their full album or another project? D: (if anyone's fluent in Japanese - does Keisuke mean "the world" like they're taking on foreign markets..?) I'm apprehensive... I NEED SOMETHING CONCRETE FROM B2M. speculate and overanalyse with me, omona D:

Viewers are expressing discomfort over the way fashion designer Kim Jae Woong was 'forced' to come out on the TV show 'Share House'.
Fellow cast members suspected that he was gay over his feminine actions and Lee Sang Min cornered him after he came home from an outing with another female by asking questions like, "Be honest, do you like men? or women?" Ever since the pilot episode, Lee Sang Min and the cast members had told him, "You need to change your voice to be more masculine."
Kim Jae Woong answered back, "Whether I just met my girlfriend or a close nuna, what does it matter to you?"
The members then said, "We would be curious about this whether it was you or another member. You're just being overly sensitive."
Kim Jae Woong then left the house to have some time to himself. The members asked each other, "Were we too harsh?"
After coming back, Kim Jae Woong confessed, "I'm the same man as Sangmin hyung, Sung Joon hyung, and Ho Young hyung but there's one difference between me and them and it's that I like men. I've always been asked by others 'what am I' since I was little. I am not a monster."
1. [+386, -6] That is in no way a voluntary coming out at all. He was forcefully outed on TV.
2. [+367, -9] I'm sure it was scripted but I am suspicious of the producer's intentions. This was not a voluntary coming out. This was forced.
3. [+341, -13] Even as a viewer, I could tell that he was gay (by his actions) so I'm sure that the cast members living with him had a clue. I can't believe that they acted clueless and cornered him with questions like that until he was forced to confess. Another article said that they all already knew he was gay, then what was the point of forcing him to say it publicly?
4. [+30, -0] He was forced to come out of the closet. This was not voluntary.
5. [+22, -2] Both the cast and the producers are in the wrong... They could've kept it to themselves and asked him off cameras. They knew cameras were rolling, why make someone feel so uncomfortable?
6. [+14, -0] He's not even a celebrity, why force him to come out like that on TV...........
7. [+11, -2] They're so rude... How can you ask questions like that so directly. How immature can they be?
8. [+6, -0] I hope he's not hurt through this ordeal. He said it bravely and I hope he doesn't regret it. Supporting Kim Jae Woong as a viewer of Fashion Runway Korea!

1. [+1,523, -90] Honestly, I barely even knew who he is and didn't care about whether he's gay or not but the other members crossed a line. I'm just an average male myself but I feel bad for Kim Jae Woong... they cornered him and demanded to know if he's gay. That's verbal abuse. I'm so disappointed in them.
2. [+1,361, -82] Lee Sang Min-ssi, this is verbal abuse.
3. [+993, -49] I bet there are a lot of gay celebrities who haven't come out yet
4. [+287, -5] They hide their dating relationships but they're so adamant about revealing someone to be gay? Then why don't they reveal their relationships too, how fun it would be considering there's an idol in the cast too.
5. [+287, -13] So he didn't even voluntarily reveal it but was forced to by the show? How horrifying.

Outing someone is despicable especially when it's known that the potential backlash could destroy their careers/lives.

Often called “Post Jaurim” when the group performed at many music contests and festivals last year, teenage rock band Lapis Lazuli plans to make its official debut with the release of its first mini album “Never Don’t Stop” on May 9.

Article: Korea ranks the 30th best country to be a mother in
Source: Yonhap News via Naver
Out of 178 countries, Korea ranked in at 30th, one rank higher than last year (31st), on NGO's Save the Children list.
Top Ten.
1. Finland
2. Norway
3. Sweden
4. Iceland
5. The Netherlands
6. Denmark
7. Spain
8. Germany
9. Australia and Belgium in joint place
1. [+4,862, -225] It's difficult to raise the children we already have, don't expect childbirth encouragement........
2. [+3,662, -319] Just how bad do the other countries below us have it if we're ranked 30th ㅋㅋ; Or maybe we just feel we have it the worst because we've only lived in our country... just like how soldiers think their unit served the hardest.
3. [+912, -46] The irony considering our country is #1 in offspring who commit suicide.
4. [+645, -37] I don't think Korea's a country for kids to enjoy living in... Is a life spent in after school academies all throughout school a good life..?
5. [+626, -141] 30 is way too high, no? Until the older generation who treats wives and daughter in laws like slaves disappear, I believe Korea ranks somewhere at 100.
6. [+460, -28] 30th best country to be a mother in but somehow we have less and less mothers every year.
7. [+427, -81] I expected Korea to place 300th.
8. [+251, -15] And yet Korea ranks lowest in birth rates...

This is just too cute!
Taiwanese twin sisters, Zony and Yony, both 6, are now international superstars thanks to their awesome dance videos on YouTube.
After seeing their viral videos online, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres flew them in from Taipei, Taiwan so that they could perform for her audience live and in-person.
It was the girls’ first flight EVER, and even though they needed a translator for their interview, the twins were clearly so excited to be on television!
When asked how people usually told them apart, the girls responded that one of them was “beautiful” and one of them was “cute.” Doesn’t that just make your heart melt?
When the girls finally danced for Ellen and her audience, they put on the cutest matching outfits complete with hot pink helmets.
During their interview, they told Ellen that they started dancing when they were three, and they learned all of their choreography by watching YouTube videos on their dad’s iPad. How sweet!
At the end of the show, Ellen surprised them with brand new matching helmets, and VIP passes to Disneyland — the one place the girls wanted to visit while in California.
In the clip below, you can see Zony and Yony dancing to the famous Crayon Pop single "Bar Bar Bar."

Brown Eyed Girls’ Gain and actor Joo Ji Hoon are currently dating.
Having been acquainted with each other for a while, the two started dating when Joo Ji Hoon recently appeared in Gain’s music video.
Gain’s agency Apop Entertainment spoke with enews on May 9 and said, “It’s true that Gain is dating Joo Ji Hoon. They have been dating for about a month.”
The agency rep added, “They have known each other for a long time but became a couple about a month ago.”
Joo Ji Hoon’s agency KeyEast Entertainment also admitted, “Joo Ji Hoon is currently dating Gain.”
However, both agencies expressed that they were hesitant to announce their relationship due to the nation’s current state of mourning for the victims of sunken ferry.
