As some fans might know, Crayon Pop’s agency, Chrome Entertainment had a management overhaul in recent times. It happened approximately in late February 2016. Former CEO and founder, Hwang Hyunchang has left Chrome Entertainment and taking over him is CEO Kim Jeongtae (you can see him pushing the luggage cart for Crayon Pop here). A number of staff have also quit following the change of management. Currently, Manager Suh is the only known manager Crayon Pop has. Manager Eunjung was recently seen at AoA Seolhyun’s fansign.

CEO Kim Jeongtae has many years of experience in the entertainment industry; however, the groups he has led are relatively unknown to both the Korean and international community. As such, it is unknown how well he will be able to lead Crayon Pop in the remaining 15+ months of their 5-year contract.

this is a bit old news by now but i'm posting here because i know there are a lot of casual fans of crayon pop that probably don't necessarily check cp.me for regular updates. personally i'm sad to see hwanggu go but hopefully this means chrome ent and it's artists are in more capable hands now and the downward spiral of the company can be, if anything, at least slowed.

INFINITE’s Woohyun looks like he’s off to a great start in his solo career!

After his solo album “Write…” went on pre-sale on May 9, the 50,000 copies of his album has been sold out completely even before the actual offline sale started on May 10.

According to Woolim Entertainment on May 10, the agency currently went into an urgent production to add more albums after all the copies were sold out by the pre-sales. Even before Woohyun’s album was released online, it ranked number one in pre-sales in various music stores.

Woolim Entertainment added, “We are in the middle of trying to produce more of his albums, but the production will take more time than that of a regular album since it is high in quality.”

Meanwhile, Woohyun will start his solo promotions on May 12 with “M!Countdown.”

WHEn you went to synnara to do the hourly checking and found out tht woohyun's album is out of stock...again :))) pic.twitter.com/TaMJoqqpnz

[+125][-2]Yesterday it was sold out on Sinara, Yes24, etc. the fans were so shocked it's still the pre-sales and we can't even buy itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm happy that he sold out online but I'm f*cking pissed at the same time. Just now, I went on the offline store of Hottracks to buy 5 albums and they were short too, I could only buy 1. But think about it, just buying one album, you can have 2 photobooks, a poster and a photocard, it's heavier than your normal album and it's only 12,000~13,000won which is so cheap

[+114][-0]Woollim you fool... Isn't it way too little is it your first time?

[+106][-0] Even though the fans like it, they were freaking shockedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋWhen it went sold out the fans all went: "hul it's sold out???kyahhhh!!!!!!the fans are jjang"ㅜㅜㅜㅜ but then they realized that the ranking was dropping : "but...even though it's good that it's sold out..we can't buy anythingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ we can't even raise the album's ranking ㅠㅠㅠ" (t/n: because the more you sell the more it'll raise) and the fans who weren't able to pre-order went: "ahㅠㅠㅜㅜI couldn't buy anything where am I supposed to buy it now??? " ...^^ but at the end it's good that they raised the production..^^

[+70][-0]infinite are the real physical sales beasts... the fans are awesome ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+67][-1] hul I'm another group's fan and I'm f*cking sorry.. I was waiting for Woohyun's solo and when the pre-orders started, I ordered one.. hul... Of course I don't regret anything since it's good quality and it's the first time buying something that's not from my biasㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I acknowledge that this is really high quality

DIA confirms Jung Chaeyeon and Ki Hee Hyun will be joining the group... currently filming new music video [official]

1. [+356, -10] So they're going to just use IOI like this? They really couldn't wait a year? At this rate, if they let all of the members just go out and do what they want, IOI isn't even going to last the next three months. They'll become a ghost group.

2. [+384, -30] Their agency CEO is Kwang Soo after all

3. [+281, -29] If IOI gets any hiatus, it should be to practice for their next unit... not to promote with DIA. IOI's album is selling well and their song is ranked high considering its low quality. As a Chaeyeon fan, this feels so empty...

Upcoming drama “W,” starring Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyu Joo, confirms its premiere date!

“W,” a romantic suspense melodrama taking place in Seoul 2016, will revolve around different dimensions, with characters moving between reality and false reality. As the plot unfolds moving in and out of different realities, unforeseeable crisis and conflicts will arise for the characters creating an exciting suspense. With a new and creative premise setting it apart from other fantasy dramas, “W” is expected to have shocking twists and turns.

Lee Jong Suk will play Kang Chul, who is a former shooting Olympic gold medalist and self-made young chaebol – basically a cool-headed genius. Han Hyo Joo will play Oh Yeon Joo, an outgoing and big-hearted second year cardiothoracic resident doctor, who jumps to act before she thinks.

AOA’s Seolhyun and Jimin have recently faced a storm of criticism after being unable to identify a hugely important Korean historical figure.

On May 10, they appeared on OnStyle Live’s “Channel AOA.” As part of the show, the two face a challenge where they are given a board with the pictures of several important historical figures and they must match them up with the correct names. The first line includes Yi Sun Sin, Shin Saimdang, Kim Gu, An Jung Geun, and Abraham Lincoln. The two are able to match Shin Saimdang and Kim Gu, before coming across An Jung Geun, where they become stuck.

An Jung Geun is one of the most important Korean historical figures, famous for fighting for Korean independence from Japanese occupation and assassinating a Japanese statesman and former Resident-General of Korea, Ito Hirobumi.

They turn to their smartphones for help in searching up the figure, and when they have no luck, a production staff member gives them the hint “Ito Hirobumi.” As Jimin gives another incorrect guess, the staff member repeats that he has a relation to Ito Hirobumi. Jimin replies, “Iddo Horomomi?” once more completely failing to get a correct answer.

Luckily, Seolhyun is finally able to find the correct answer with further searching on her phone. However, this scene has not been overlooked by netizens, who are appalled at the girls’ lack of general history knowledge. One netizen lamented, “No way, this must be scripted. Does it make any sense not to know An Jung Geun?” while another says, “If history is forgotten, the Korean people have no future.”

1. [+4,424, -108] How can you claim that kids like them are representing Korea and raising awareness about Korea in the world. Their agency needs to work on teaching them Korean history before teaching them foreign languages.

2. [+4,188, -91] I'm pretty dumb myself but as a Korean even I know who Ahn Joong Geun is. That's so bad... please study..

3. [+3,280, -287] People are going to take this opportunity to hate on them but they really should know their historical figures by now

4. [+30, -2] Wow, there's a level to being dumb but how could you not know Lincoln or even Ahn Joong Geun?? But then again, what would celebrities know other than playing around and looking pretty. So pathetic~

5. [+30, -3] How dumb do you have to be to say that? There is no future to a country of people who have forgotten their history. Be embarrassed... seriously.

6. [+23, -0] This makes me so angry... what's inside their heads? Nothing but dances and song lyrics?

7. [+23, -2] This is... really bad... even fans can't shield this.

8. [+17, -3] I'm a Seolhyun fan but I can't shield this... she's super stupid...

You can watch the full eng sub V-App HERE.
V-app highlights:
- Yuri, Sooyoung, and Taeyeon call
- Taeyeon keeps asking if Tiffany is wearing pants, lol
- Yuri claims she didn't know she was doing V Live when she called, her favorite song is What Do I Do (flawless taste tbh)
- Sooyoung and her have a cute little english conversation
- 'Fool' was hardest for her to record, Taeyeon likes 'Fool' the best.

Sis gave an interview for her solo debut with midly entertaining semi-bop 'I Just Wanna Dance'.

Q. You made a debut as solo singer. How do you feel?
Tiffany: Well, I’m very nervous now because it’s my first ever solo album since I came to Korea 12 years ago.

Q. So, what did you focus on when you were preparing for the album?
Tiffany: I’ve been hard at work on the album since last year. I wanted to my own musical characteristics, and I cared more about music than visual or performance. I hope many people will really enjoy the album.

Q. Tell me about the title track “I just wanna dance.” It’s notable that the song is a dance track. You know, Taeyeon sang ballad songs as a solo singer.
Tiffany: Actually, there were many people who were surprised that I chose the dance music as the title track. Well, I like to dance and love cheerful music. I feel free when I dance. That’s why I included the exciting song in the album. I think it’s a good time to enjoy such a exciting song.
