1. Member A from female idol group "I'm honestly jealous but wary of the agency"
"How could I not be jealous when even their agency acknowledges them dating someone they love? Although I'm not dating anyone right now, I don't think I'd be only happy about it. My agency would probably deny it and more than anything, I think of it as a disservice to our fans"
2. member B from male idol group "I was her fan"
"I was Taeyeon senior's fan so I'm disappointed to hear that she's taken. I'll still be liking SNSD. As for myself, I don't think it's the right time for me to be dating yet."
3. Member C from male idol group "Why are you asking me?"
When asked about his thoughts on dating within the company, "Why are you asking me? (laughter) I think dating should be kept a secret. Since we're in our twenties, falling in passionate love is inevitable but for the sake of our images and our fans, it's important to keep it a secret from the agency and the fans. As for myself? Maybe (hahaha)."
4. Member D from female idol group "They're young and beautiful"

On the June 22 broadcast of SBS’ variety program “Roommate,” After School’s Nana confessed, “I thought I was putting in effort, but people would say ‘She’s showing off,’ whenever I show aegyo or try to brighten up the atmosphere,” during a conversation with actress Hong Soo Hyun.
Nana continued, “Even I think it might be hard to get used to the way I am, but there are so many negative responses saying things like, ‘Why is she like that?’ I normally don’t pay attention to [netizen] comments, but after appearing on ‘Roommate’ and ‘Style Log,’ at the same time, I’ve started to worry [about it]. I’m becoming more timid.”

JYP Entertainment was met with a financial shock today after its stock prices dropped following the arrest of Park Jin Young’s father-in-law.
Trouble first started for JYP Entertainment after the Sewol Ferry tragedy on April 16. Yoo Byeong Eon is the de facto owner of Cheonghaejin Marine, the operator of the Sewol ferry, and after the tragedy, Yoo, his family, and related businesses started to receive suspicion and were investigated for corruption. Park Jin Young, the founder of JYP Entertainment and its largest stockholder, is married to the niece of Yoo Byeong Eun, and rumors started to spread of suspicious financial connections between the Yoo family and JYP. When suspicions were raised of several hundred million KRW leaking into JYP Entertainment through Yoo Byeong Eon’s younger brother (Park Jin Young’s father-in-law), Yoo Byeong Ho, the Financial Supervisory Service began investigating account activities of the company in late April. JYP has denied receiving any illegal funds.
Such suspicious and investigations lead to a continuous drop in stock prices for the entertainment company, and the arrest of Yoo Byeong Ho on June 22 on suspicion of embezzlement dealt another blow. Following the arrest, JYP Ent.’s stock prices dropped 3.49% to a low of 4285 KRW (~4.20 USD) around 11 AM of June 23. In early April before the Sewol tragedy, stocks were valued between 5-6.00 USD.
So far, Yoo Byeong Eon’s wife, his younger sister and her husband, and his younger and older brother have been arrested for various charges. Yoo Byeong Eon still evades arrest for more than a month, wanted on charges of embezzlement, negligence and tax evasion.

K-Pop’s most powerful label and producer, SM Entertainment, has been ordered to pay an additional 10.2 billion KRW in corporate taxes following a tax audit into the company by the National Tax Service earlier in March.
In a official press release today, SM Entertainment explained that the 10.2 billion KRW (~10 million USD) additional tax payment is due to the foreign tax payment credit difference for SM Entertainment Japan. In an effort to appease concerns over such a large withdrawal of money from the company funds, SM Entertainment stated that it is seeing this as an opportunity, rather than a burden, to create a more stable global business in the future. “Through this tax audit, we will continue to build our company, the foremost entertainment company in Korea, as a transparent and exemplary business.”
SM Entertainment also emphasized that this tax audit revealed there was no tax evasion on the part of the company in regards to their overseas business and income from concerts. It was also found that there was no support for suspicions regarding SM Entertainment’s overseas real estate.

original song: Running in the Sky - Lee Juck
source: kbs cool fm
My heart was pounding
And someone was chasing me from behind
At the end of a black cliff
There was no place left to place my foot
Getting lumps in my throat
And when I sincerely called out your name
Your warm voice ringing in my ears
That was my salvation
If only I can run across the dry sky
And if only I can be in your arms
I dont care if my body will break apart
Even if I fly too close to the sun
And both my legs melt and fall,
My heart..
it will forever run into your heart
I hated myself..
And I only seemed like I was worth this much..
My old dreams
seemed like empty memories of a child
When I withstanded my tears
And without anyone knowing, when I whispered your name
Your warm voice ringing in my ears
That was my hope
On my weak soul, If only I can put wings on it

On Twitter, one father wrote on his Twitter, "Our daughter threw Byun Baekhyun away and returned to me. Thank you, Kim Taeyeon." The next day, "Our daughter's cellphone, ipad, laptop, Kakao Talk, and Twitter profile pictures have changed. All of the pictures in her room are gone. I hope you have a great, long relationship. I dream of a day where the background on our daughter's cellphone, ipad, and laptop is a picture of her father. My daughter says that no one uses their father's picture as their cellphone background but I hope that's not true."
1. [+1,703, -38] I'm also thankful, unni ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Thanks to you, I'm no longer a fan of EXO ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ Have a great love!!

5. [+951, -58] He's thankful but I bet his daughter's in a mental breakdown
6. [+203, -3] I bet the daughter's feeling horrible on the inside. Well, I hope she lives a happy life with her father and meets a good man later in life.
7. [+196, -6] I had originally left the EXO fandom only to recently return but I've just now left again ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was Byun Baekhyun's fan but I guess I'll switch to Kim Jongdae ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Anyway, find strength Kim Junmyeon.
8. [+180, -7] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Have a great long relationship, Taeng kyung~fu*k
9. [+129, -7] Taeyeon and Baekhyun, I'm also thankful to you two for giving me a reason to leave the fandom
10. [+122, -4] Thanks Taeyeon~ I now have more time to study for my exams ^^
11. [+102, -5] Just in time for exams, I'm thankful to her as well ㅋ
12. [+98, -9] Fu*king thankful to the both of them alright ㅋㅋ

15. [+55, -2] Taeyeon-ah, although I'm now a former female fan who left the fandom because of you, let me leave you some words out of respect for the feelings I had for you. The reason you're able to maintain the popularity you have now is because Soshi's image is still clean. Don't you know that if the other members get fu*ked, so do you? When Fany's dating scandal erupted and she was getting hate and you were telling fans not to leave and all that whiny BS... you b*tch, you were dating too. What a scary feeling it is to realize that the pictures I saved of you being happy were actually for your boyfriend.

Hwanhee named G.Na as the potential match for Brian.
Fly to the Sky guested on the June 21’s radio broadcast of SBS Power FM’s A Night Like Tonight. DJ Jung Sun Hee started, “Your album already became successful, so let’s talk openly with the feel of congratulating you guys.”
Having close connections with the group, Jung Sun Hee asked, “You’re at the age to think about marriage. If you guys were to recommend a spouse for each other, who would you recommend?”
Then Hwanhee, without hesitation, answered G.Na. He said, “I saw them together, and they look so good. I think they will be able to be together for a long time.”
Brian then jokingly added, “G.Na is one of the junior singers that I’m close to in the English circle. She often says that she wants to marry early so I asked her to marry me as a joke but she only said, ‘I can’t marry you, because you’re too much like an unnie (older sister).’”
Brian then recommended Kim Na Young as Hwanhee’s spouse.

Teen Top’s L.Joe made a cameo appearance on ‘Flower Grandpa Investigation Team’. Although his parts were short, he realistically portrayed a high school student, reflecting his potential as an acting-idol.
On episode 7 of tvN drama ‘Flower Grandpa Investigation Team’ which aired on 20th June, L.Joe appeared as Uhm Siwoo, the first witness to the crime scene and the high school student which gave them a very important lead.
Appearing in a school uniform, though it was the first time L.Joe had tried out acting, he delivered his lines precisely and realistically acted out a rebellious high school student.
