Yoona and Lee Minho for Innisfree Minidrama with Eng Subs

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

Lee Min Ho will soon whisper sweet nothings into Yoona's ears. And they are about to get even closer and more romantic. But before you worry that Lee Min Ho has broken up with his girlfriend Suzy Bae or that  Yoona has broken up with actor boyfriend Lee Seung Gi, relax. Their romance is taking place in a web drama. The "Gangnam Blues" actor and Girls Generation singer are going to act like two good friends who fall in love in a web drama titled "Summer Love."

The two-episode web drama will be released by the Korean cosmetic brand Innisfree. In the web drama Lee Min Ho and Yoona play old friends who like to meet and talk on a regular basis. But one summer their friendship progresses into something more. They fall in love.

While web dramas have become very popular lately, this particular drama will also be something of a commercial for an Innisfree makeup product. One of the things that the couple talks about during the drama is the makeup and the fact that this product lasts for up to 12 hours. It is an ideal product for summer because it is sweat proof and provides UV protection. In real-life two hard working k-celebs can probably put a product like that to good use.

'Hello Bubble' and six other girl group cf singles you probably forgot about

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

Girl’s Day aren’t quite ready to make their next legendary comeback just yet, so to tide us over in the meantime they’ve dropped a nice little CF single called ‘Hello Bubble’ to promote a brand of hair dye foam.

The spacey synth-pop number, courtesy of Duble Sidekick, is one of the better jingles out there. It’s not title track worthy for a group of Girl’s Day’s stature, but it’s the kind of great b-side you’d want to see them perform for their double comeback stage.

CF singles come and go and are usually forgotten shortly after their release, so here’s a trip down memory lane to look at some of the old girl group endorsement deal ditties that have graced (and plagued) us over the years.

AOA’s Jimin Resembles Samuel L. Jackson, Chu Sarang, and Jeon Hyun Moo?

[theemii.livejournal.com]

On the May 12 broadcast of Mnet’s “4 Things Show,” AOA’s Jimin opens up about the various celebrities that netizens have claimed she resembles, including Samuel L. Jackson, Chu Sarang, and Jeon Hyun Moo.

When Jimin enters the X Room, the first thing she sees is a bunch of pictures on the wall of her alleged doppelgangers, most hilariously of Samuel L. Jackson in a fuschia wig that resembles Jimin’s trademark fringed bob. As soon as she sees it she screams, “What is this… What is this!”




She says, “I’ll acknowledge that I look like Jeon Hyun Moo oppa but stop with Samuel L. Jackson please. You don’t know how agonizing it is.”

“You can write negative comments, but please don’t say I look like Samuel L. Jackson,” she complains. “I received a text from [Park] Kwang Sun today telling me to get a tan.”

2AM’s Jinwoon says he thinks Jimin looks like a shih tzu, while fellow “Unpretty Rapstar” contestant Cheetah says she’s heard that Jimin looks like the nation’s darling Chu Sarang. Park Kwang Sun jokingly denies the comparison to Chu Sarang, “That’s an exaggeration. No, that’s a minus to Sarang.”

Jimin says, “I want to resemble something beautiful. I hate the fried chicken picture especially. I personally scolded the person who took the picture. For the longest time my related search term was fried chicken.”

[skidadler.livejournal.com]

2PM has changed its music video director.

According to JYP Entertainment on May 13, the company has decided to work with Naive Creative Production on the new album title song music video.


JYP Entertainment told Newsen, "2PM will work with Naive for the music video. The concept of the music video will remain the same, but the album release date will change."

"Naive is a team that we′ve worked with many times. We′re currently tuning up schedules for the music video and comeback."

2PM was initially set to film the music video with Dextor Lab, but the director notified the company saying he couldn′t do it four days ahead of the filming schedule.

As the stances of both sides have differed, JYP stated, "Despite all of this, director Han Sa Min′s side is still evading responsibility with irresponsible words, and the company plans on taking strict legal action against the said production company."

CLC discusses Jang Seung Yeon's resemblance to 4minute Sohyun & Sorn father's job

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

Girl group CLC member Jang Seung Yeon acknowledged her resemblance to 4minute’s Sohyun on MBCevery1’s “Weekly Idol.”

On the May 13 episode of the variety show, CLC met with hosts Defconn and Jung Hyung Don to discuss a variety of topics. Almost as soon as they took the stage, however, member Jang Seung Yeon was told by Jung Hyung Don that she “looks like 4minute member Kwon Sohyun.” An un-phased Jang Seung Yeon then drew laughter when she responded, “Yeah, I’ve heard that quite a bit.”



Refusing to let the subject go, Jung Hyun Don then then further pressed Jang Seung Yeon, asking whether she is younger or older than Kwon Sohyun, and then emphasized once again their similar appearances.

Sorn father's Job

CLC’s Thai member Sorn revealed that her father works with the president of Thailand on “Weekly Idol.”

Meeting with hosts Jung Hyung Don and Defconn along with her fellow CLC members on the May 13 broadcast of the MBCevery1 variety show, Sorn revealed that, while her father used to be an actor, “he now works with the Thai president.”



Sorn also recorded a loving video message for her parents during the show. Afterwards, host Jung Hyung Don then made an aegyo-filled request to Sorn, saying, “Ask your father to treat us all to Thai crab curry if ‘Weekly Idol’ ever films in Thailand.”

Netizens slam Hyuna with accusations of a b(·)(·)b job

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

After Hyuna‘s latest SNS post, Dispatch released an article titled “Hyuna Is Unexpectedly Glamorous” calling to attention what seems to be work that the singer had done recently.
Following the publication of the article, netizens quickly agreed that Hyuna definitely had work done, voicing their opinions on the matter in the comments sections. Koreaboo has included some of the top comments on the article translated below.

Hyuna’s original SNS pic:


Comments left by netizens on Dispatch’s article:
[+725, -58] Honestly, It’s so obvious she got a boob job.. ㅠㅠ
[+667, -67] She’s trying to make it so obvious that she got work done on her chest
[+480, -88] Even though I’m male, I prefer her way better before surgery. Now her nose and make-up style are so unnatural and her skin looks off too
[+66, -40] Looks like she got tired of pushing up every drop of her soul that she just bought a new set instead ㅠ.ㅠ
[+66, -44] Natural boobs: people try to hide them. Fake boobs: people try to flaunt them.
[+60, -33] She’s pretty but… ㅜㅜ Why do her boobs look so… ㅋㅋ and the background isn’t helping with it looking all shady ㅋㅋㅋ
[+59, -35] Her boobs never used to look like that. Why are they so perky now ㅋㅋㅋ
[+57, -40] That first picture looks like she’s in some cheap motel. But looking at her boobs from this angle, she really did get them done…

Comments on her original Instagram post echoed the sentiment expressed by these netizen comments.
What do you think? Did HyunA get a breast augmentation?

The problem is not her breast but the amount of BB cream on her face

[INTERVIEW] 150513 Jang Hyun-seung hopes to show new side through solo debut

When onstage as a member of Beast or half of the duo Trouble Maker, Jang Hyun-seung exudes charisma and sex appeal. But offstage, at a group interview on Monday at a cafe in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul, Jang was soft-spoken and shy as he talked about his first solo EP, “MY.”

“I wanted to come without any makeup, but I was afraid you’d think I didn’t really care about the interview,” he said as he sat down in a red flannel shirt and torn jeans, running a hand through his hair.

According to Jang, he wanted his solo EP to establish a more unique, individual image with his fans.

“I wanted to show my more relaxed side,” he said, explaining the core concept of his EP. “I felt like my image was too strong with Trouble Maker and Beast. That’s why I dressed casually in a lot of my jacket photos. The music video’s pretty laid-back as well.”

He said that he hoped the EP would leave a strong impression, making people see him in a new light even if he goes back to his previous Trouble Maker style.
