Super Junior's Kyuhyun, TVXQ's Changmin, and SHINee's Minho are the final members to be confirmed for KBS’ new variety show, which is tentatively titled “Fluttering India.”
The news of their casting come just moments after EXO’s Suho, Infinite’s Sunggyu, and CNBLUE’s Jonghyun were revealed to be heading to India for the program. The first shoot will be held in mid-February for around five days.
Except for Sunggyu, all of the cast members belong to one of the most famous K-Pop cliques, the so-called “Kyu-line.” This will mark their first time to go abroad together.
The focus of “Fluttering India” will be on the cast members and their interaction with locals, and how the celebrities manage to overcome challenges posed by language, culture, and environment. The first episode is set to air in mid-April, according to latest reports.

While these five artists have not yet broken into the market's mainstream consciousness, based on fan anticipations, past chart performance, YouTube views and industry talk, Billboard has picked the five acts who seem primed to make a splash in 2015.

The web drama Dream Knight, being co-produced by Youku Tudou and JYP Pictures, has been getting flooded with publication rights inquiries.
Having gathered attention by casting the ‘boyfriend-dol’ GOT7 and the charming actress Song Ha Yoon, Dream Knight is a fantasy romance drama, harmonizing dance with music, depicting the story about a girl with pain sharing dream, love and friendship with a group of mysterious boys who appears in front of her one day.
Dream Knight, which is set to air on China’s Youku Toudou (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and Naver TV, will also be airing through Thailand’s Line TV. The publication contract was signed in Korea even before the preview was released, increasing anticipation on its content.
With its teaser and preview videos alone, Dream Knight has reportedly been flooded with online publication rights inquiries from America, Japan and more.
“Dream Knight” the web drama that GOT7 is headlining has received an unprecedented amount of popularity in China.
The first episode was released on January 27 through Chinese video sites Youku and Tudou. Considering the web drama is not a traditional television drama, the number of views received is quite exceptional. Within 12 hours of releasing part one, 1.16 million views were reached (Youku 840,000, Tudou 320,000).
After three days since releasing the first episode, there are currently over 3 million views (Youku 2,380,000, Tudou 770,000). It is gathering more interest than some dramas from public broadcasting stations even though they typically perform the best. It seems as though the web drama is already a success, it even received a high score of 9.4 out of 10 on Youku’s website.
“Dream Knight” is proving to be popular in both Korea and China; it started gaining attention since it was announced that GOT7 would be a part of it. Despite the fantasy romance genre being a first for the members, they are showing their acting talents naturally and receiving good reviews.
JYP Entertainment’s artists have proven their brand recognition in China and continue to be popular there.
Youku, Tudou Group, and JYP Pictures are joint investors and producers while GOT7, Song Ha Yoon, and MissA‘s Min are the main cast. “Dream Knight” can be watched every Tuesday and Thursday through Naver’s TVcast, China’s Youku, Tudou, and Thailand’s Line TV.
So... will Jr. be able to have kids? Can JB make another facial expression? How many more couples will Mark create? Is Jackson/Gukjoo going to become a thing? When will Youngjae stop picking on Yugyeom's hair? And will the maknae line have more then 2.5 seconds of screen time? Find out next time, on Dream Knight!

2015-01-29 12:51 pm동방박사 aka M.A.G.I. feat. 강서영 - pung-gagjaeng-i (A Street Singer)
Released on January 1st, M.A.G.I.'s second single "pung-gagjaeng-i" kicked off the new year with a surprisingly well-executed blend of conversational hip-hop and pansoori over a backdrop of traditional Korean art forms. Maybe not the most boppable tune for everyone, but it definitely feels fresh and is something I'd like to see more of in the future.

A new regulation in China could make it harder for k-drama fans to see their favorite shows there. As of March video-streaming sites will need to get licenses from China's broadcast regulator, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, if they want to show imported films and TV series. According to Arirang News, the regulations may require that foreign programs, including k-dramas, make up no more than a third of the titles that are shown on streaming sites such as Youku Tudou and Sohu.com. Foreign titles currently make up more than 50 percent of the content shown.
