Police Conclude Investigation Of Case Involving Choi Joon Hee And Grandmother

[pearlychoco.livejournal.com]

A source from the police has shared an update on the case surrounding Choi Joon Hee and her grandmother.

In August, Choi Joon Hee, the daughter of late actress Choi Jin Shil, uploaded shocking accounts on social media about the difficulties she endured while living with her maternal grandmother. After losing her mother, father, and uncle to suicide, she and her brother had been raised by their maternal grandmother.

( Netizens Being Awful as Usual )

my blood is boiling right now. the police had enough evidence to charge the grandmother, but of course, elderly people in Korea get away with everything. and as for these scums called netizens, i'm not surprised to see them putting all the blame on a child since the beginning of the investigation. that bullying mentality was one of the main reasons why Joon-Hee's mother (Choi Jin Shil) committed suicide. that woman was a domestic abuse victim and when everyone told her to stay with her awful husband & not talk about it, she did the opposite. she was not afraid to speak her mind, and i hope her daughter continues to express her opinions as well as continue to stay with her aunt.

sorry for the rant, mods, i'm just really heated.

DR Music hasn't even released any official teasers or even tweeted the song title ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this is what we know:

• first comeback stage is tomorrow on M! Countdown


• contemporary choreography (by JooLee, who worked with HA:TFELT)


• according to Jieun they filmed an MV but no news on release date


• superior song compared to Beep Beep Beep, please listen to both versions!!

Character teasers for "Black"

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

OCN’s new death clairvoyant mystery drama Black released two new character teasers featuring leads Go Ara and Song Seung-heon. Respectively, the two main actors play a death-foreseeing human woman and a soul-collecting grim reaper who fall in love, defying the preset laws of the universe.

Go Ara plays “the woman who predicts death, Ha-ram.” She’s shown to be in sunglasses because when death draws near, she can see it on a person as shadows surrounding them. She says in the teaser that she can see how they will die. Being afraid of the death she can see so clearly, she hides behind her sunglasses. However, in the middle of the teaser, she takes them off and touches the shadows, which seem to explode beneath her hand. Flashes of a burning car go by, and the teaser ends with a closeup into Go Ara’s haunting eyes.

Written by Choi Ran (God’s Gift—14 Days), and directed by PD Kim Hong-sun (Voice), OCN’s new weekend drama Black premieres on October 14, after the end of Rescue Me.

Sam Vlogs about Lunafly Memories; or, Lunafly is Now a One-Man Band

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

"Korea Seoul Vlog #8: Lunafly Memories

I've been thinking alot about the last couple of years and thought I would take you guys through some good Lunafly memories.
I must admit I did shed one tear whilst doing this...."

Some of the things he talked about:
- Stories behind each song/MV
- Performing in various countries
- Talking about Teo's departure for the first time. Not much details but there was clearly some conflict there
- The nugu struggle in Korea
- Sam confirms that Lunafly now basically consists of only himself.

Source: The Sam Carter Channel

This was posted in July but OP just found out now. He didn't talk much about Yun, but the change from 4 members to 2 and now 1 seemed to me more amicable compared to how he described the way Teo left? At least that's what I'm guessing (and hoping) from reading between the lines and considering their latest timeline:
2016 December - Lunafly's Makestar single "너답지 않게" as a duo with MV
2017 February - Yun's first solo single, promoted in Lunafly's official channels, no MV
March - Yun appears on Sam's radio show, they sing Super Hero (just realized this was possibly the last Lunafly performance with the two of them...)
April - Lunafly's single "Dreaming bout you" consisting of only Sam, no MV

Sam still does his Arirang radio show and now has this YouTube channel. I'm not sure what Yun is up to now, his Instagram was last updated in June. If not solo music or studies/new career then possibly enlistment?

Will the remaining Lukies in Omona come over and have a group hug with me :(

sorry for posting twice today but I assumed no teasers were coming out since their comeback stage is tomorrow on M!

Nine Muses Kyungri reveals why she would never date an idol

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Kyungri of Nine Muses talked about her dating preferences with Dispatch recently, notably revealing that she isn’t into dating celebrities, saying, “There are a couple (celebrities who asked me out). But they’re not my type.”

Why?

She explained, “Maybe it’s because they received so much love since they were young, but it seems like they don’t know how to love a woman.” Adding, “On the outside, they look well-balanced, but they’re either a new born baby or really sly.”

So basically they’re not her type because they’re either man children or are fake as hell.
