skidadler.livejournal.comTaecyeon appeared in Vancouver!!
Hello! This is real 2PM~~!
Taecyeon flew off to Vancouver, Canada for photo shooting! He traveled places in Canada in between his packed schedules, the trip which started off with his eating show on the street, we could even see how well he speaks English ^^!
You might have to watch the clip a couple of times since it is hard to distinguish between him traveling and taking photo shoots.
Then shall we hit the road now for a trip to Vancouver with a guide Taecyeon?!
ELLE B-side
When he speaks English, I die a little on the inside. ETA: I'm super pissed at who ever photoshopped his scar. I get some people might be turned off by it, but come on, it's part of his personality now.

MUTZINE Interview #4: Chad Burton
2015-05-22 03:38 pmcotxpaxi.livejournal.comHi all!
Here's the next interview. I'm really excited about sharing this one. Chad Burton has a blog called thexoxokids and it has been an extremely valuable resource in learning all about Korean street style, nightlife and designers. He hasn't been based out of Korea since 2011 and since then there hasn't been anyone else reporting in the same manner. I hope that Mutzine continues his legacy!
It's been fun looking through his photo archives and seeing familiar faces that are now superstar celebrities and seeing how Korean style has changed over the years. I hope that you like this interview as much as I enjoyed putting it together!
PS: Looking for writers (because interviews are outnumbering articles ...), researchers, idea generators and marketing/social media geniuses (need help managing the social feeds...)! If interested shoot me an email: gissella@mutzine.me. Is it crazy that I'm trying to get a press pass for Kcon? Only happening if it's a team effort :)

K-pop group TVXQ’s Tokyo Dome concert earlier this month topped the live viewership ranking on Japan’s Oricon chart, reports said Sunday.
“Live-streaming of TVXQ’s Tokyo dome performance was the most viewed in the live broadcast criteria,” Oricon reported.
Once a quintet but now reduced to a duo, TVXQ is riding high after 10 years of success in Japan.
It recently completed a series of concerts across Japan that started in February.
The chart-topping video was of the tour’s final performance, which was streamed live online, attracting almost 75,000 viewers.
TVXQ will hold an encore concert in Seoul at the Olympic Gymnastics Hall on June 13 and 14.
avex社のIR資料を見ましたが、東方神起ユノ入隊を想定してか「2016年度はマネジメント／ライヴで大型公演の減少、音楽はアルバム販売の減少で減収」でそれぞれ103億円、55億円の売上減を想定。ライブは2015年WITHツアー75万人動員のチケット売上70億円が0となるとみたのか
— keitadj (@keitadj) May 15, 2015Trans (by snxy): saw avex’s IR (investor relations?) materials; it is expected that due to TVXQ’s Yunho’s enlistment [in 2016 from management /live (concerts), the reduction in large-scale concerts, music album sales to lead to drop in sales] expected 10.3 billion yen, 5.5 billion yen reduction in sales respectively.
エイベックスの来期見込みで「大型公演減少」による減益が見込まれてるのは完全に東方神起の兵役入りの影響。去年のエイベックス興行でスタジアム級の公演52回中22回、40％以上が東方神起のライブという圧倒的なパワーなので・・・
— Kei Nishiyama (@ashikagunso) May 14, 2015韓流はメディア露出少ないのでなかなか信じてもらえないんですが、今日本のライブシーンの「3強」といえば、嵐・東方神起・EXILEファミリー なんですよ。この3グループの年間観客動員数はそれぞれ60万人超え、つまり浦和レッズより人気がある。
— Kei Nishiyama (@ashikagunso) May 14, 2015Trans (by snxy): jpn ticketing site co-founder on tohoshinki in japan’s live scene / impact of hiatus:
Japan ticket-reseller site co-founder Kei Nishiyama tweeted that in the next fiscal year, because of the “reduction in large-scale concerts”, it is expected that Avex would experience a decrease in profits due to the impact of Tohoshinki fully enlisting. Last year, Avex box office stadium performance, 22 times out of 52 times, over 40% was brought in by Tohoshinki’s overwhelming power.
He added that while it seems unbelievable because of believe the lack of K-wave media coverage, in Japan’s LIVE (concert) scene now, speaking of the “Big 3″, they are the Arashi, Tohoshinki and EXILE family. The annual numbers of audiences mobilised are more than 600,000 people each; more popular than Urawa Red Diamonds (top J-league football team)
MBC‘s new Wednesday-Thursday drama “The Scholar Who Walks the Night” revealed photos from the first script reading with the leads present.
In the photos that were revealed, Lee Jun Ki, Lee Yoo Bi, TVXQ‘s Changmin, Lee Soo Hyuk, Kim So Eun and others sit around a table and focus on script reading.
Before the script reading, the staff and actors all greeted each other and revealed their excitement at the drama that they will be working on together.
The producer Lee Sung Joon said to the staff and actors, “‘The Scholar Who Walks the Night’ will basically be a mellow drama. It’s a relief that we were able to have great actors, and thanks to the writers, the preparations are going well. I would like to thank the writers who wrote the script. Starting July, it will be monsoon season and if we film at night, there will be mosquitoes and it might get difficult, but I hope we’ll have fun filming. Please give us a lot of help.”
In the script reading that followed, the actors made eye contact with each other as they tested out their chemistry together. Lee Jun Ki expressed his calm, collected character, and Lee Yoo Bi brightened the atmosphere as she got into character of her bubbly book-seller character. Lee Soo Hyuk looked as if he was on set with his booming voice while acting out his angry character Kwi, and Changmin perfectly and calmly expressed his playful character, Lee Yoon the Crown Prince. Kim So Eun also shed her bright and playful image to express her chic and cold character Hye Ryeong.
“The Scholar Who Walks the Night,” which kicked off its production with the script reading, will follow up “Warm and Cozy” and is slated to start airing in July.

In a new pictorial entitled “Midnight Picnic” for fashion magazine SURE, SISTAR’s Dasom stuns in a number of ethereal white-on-white looks.
Taken in the early morning before sunrise by the Han River, the pictorial features hard lighting that makes Dasom look like the prettiest deer in headlights.
In the corresponding interview, Dasom answers a question about the secret to SISTAR’s teamwork through the years, “Although each member’s personality is different, there is a synergy. For example, as much as Hyolyn unni’s is assertive, she is persuasive. Her leadership is undeniable. Bora unni has a deep consideration for others, such that she knows how to take care of both her seniors and juniors. She knows how to lend an ear to others. Soyou unni knows how to adapt herself to others. She is mature, wise, and easygoing.”
She continues, “We are really different to no end. Everything from the menu we want to eat to our clothing and makeup style is different. I think the reason the four of us, who are so different, have been able to stay together for five years without any big troubles is because of the positive personality that we all share. I have only to be grateful.”
You can catch Dasom’s full pictorial and candid interview in the June issue of SURE.

kevinmchale.livejournal.comDiplo, CL, RiFF RAFF, and OG Maco Premiere Insane Posse Cut, "Doctor Pepper"
CL, Diplo, RiFF RAFF, and OG Maco unite on “Doctor Pepper,” a new collaborative single that’s also a taste of what’s to come from CL, the K-Pop star who’s unleashing the freak as she prepares to launch an English language album. CL sounds immaculate here, and the song seems to mean almost nothing at all. “Diplo canceled a session on me, and I was so mad at him. I was drinking a can of Dr. Pepper and wrote the song so I could go home as soon as possible,” CL told The FADER, explaining the song’s glorious nonsense refrain. “Diplo ended up loving it!”
As a world of its own, “Doctor Pepper” is hard to imagine without Diplo. In April, the producer told Rick Rubin he was “trying to actually retire” solo Diplo material so he could devote more time to collaborative projects, like Major Lazer and Jack Ü. I think he’s right to feel proud of something like “Doctor Pepper,” an otherwise unimaginable grouping of savants. Whether with Hollertronix, Major Lazer, or at the helm of Mad Decent (block party, radio, label), he’s always been best as part of a team.
Diplo has been brushing up against K-Pop for years. “CL and I go back a long way, from the first time YG contacted me about six years ago,” he told The FADER. “I ended up being in the video for Chris Brown's 'Look At Me Now' and I met GD and Top [of BIGBANG]. I worked with them before I knew what K-pop was, to be honest.”
After making songs with YG artists PSY and G-Dragon, Diplo got CL to do vocals for “Dirty Vibe,” a cut from Skrillex’s 2014 album. “I’ve been active in CL’s first full-length album,” he said, “mostly trying to find a right balance between glossy K-pop attitude and keeping CL positioned where she belongs—as the baddest coolest female out right now. ‘Doctor Pepper’ is something that might not register that well with actual K-pop, seeing as it’s a straight Atlanta-style rap record, but the net around K-pop is so wide that it can be anything with confidence and style. That's what CL brings to it.” Here, he let's her thrive.
