Teasers for "The Ghost Detective"

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

KBS’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama “The Ghost Detective” tells the story of detective Lee Da Il, who chases after ghosts, and his energetic assistant Jung Yeo Wool.

Daniel Choi will be playing Lee Da-il, a skilled private eye who began his career in the Army, but was expelled after reporting a case involving violence and corruption within the military. Park Eun-bin will be playing Jung Yeo-wool, the determined and plucky assistant to Lee Da-il. Yeo-wool starts out as a part-timer at the private eye’s offices and gets swept up in a bizarre case. She has ten years of part-time experience under her belt, which gives her a certain toughness and instinct that will aid her in solving these mysteries.

Lee Ji Ah's character Sun Woo Hye will lead the detective and his assistant further into the middle of a strange case. She keeps showing up as the pair investigates their cases, always sporting her signature red dress. She’s described as the key to the main mystery, and will cast a long shadow over the main leads’ cases.

The drama will be produced by PD Lee Jae Hoon, who is known for directing “Chief Kim,” and written by Han Ji Wan who has previously worked on “Wanted.”

Teasers for "Devilish Joy"

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

“Devilish Joy” is a romantic comedy about a genius doctor named Gong Ma Sung who suffers from “Cinderella Memory Disorder” and falls in love with formerly popular actress Joo Ki Bbeum. Its title also appears to be a play on the characters’ names, as it could also be interpreted as “Ma Sung’s Ki Bbeum” or “Ma Sung’s Happiness.”

Gong Ma Sung (Choi Jin Hyuk) is a successor to the Sunwoo Company and he is an expert in the field of cranial nerves. One day, while trying to help a woman who he happens to meet, he has a car accident. Gong Ma Sung suffers from short-term memory loss after the car accident and his memory lasts for only one day. Ever day, he writes down notes about what happened to him that day. The next morning, he memorizes the written notes that he wrote the night before. Gong Ma-Sung then meets Joo Ki Bbeum (Song Ha Yoon). She used to be a popular actress, but she is not anymore. They fall in love with each other.

Hoya will play Sung Ki Joon, a chaebol family’s son and “gold spoon celebrity.” He is Ma Sung's cousin. Lee Jooyeon will be playing Lee Ha Im, an A-list actress who is also the only child of a rich family. She pursues Ma Sung but will have an unexpected connection with the other heir, Ki Joon, instead.

E'Dawn Revealed to Have Worked on 'Thumbs Up'

[mikachi613.livejournal.com]

https://instagram.com/p/BnWULFun5Yy

With the release of the tracklist for Pentagon's 7th mini-album, 'Thumbs Up,' E'Dawn's name is included in the song credits despite Cube announcing his exclusion from this cycle of promotions.
The mini-album tracklist with credits are translated below:

1. 청개구리 (Green Frog)
Composed by Flow Blow, Hui, E'Dawn
Lyrics by E'Dawn, Hui, Yuto, Wooseok

2. 저두요 !! (Just do it yo!!)
Composed by Hui, Shinwon, Ferdy
Lyrics by Hui, Shinwon, Yuto, Kino, Wooseok

3. Skateboard
Composed by Kino, Nathan
Lyrics by Kino, Wooseok, E'Dawn, Yuto

4. 밤에 비기 내리면 (When It Rains at Night)
Composed by Kino, 멧돼지, 홍익인간
Lyrics by Kino, Wooseok, Yuto

5. Thumbs Up!
Composed by Hui, The Proof
Lyrics by Hui, Wooseok

Source: Pentagon's instagram

I'm happy that his efforts don't go to waste and that he's represented on the mini-album, but this is still frustrating. Cube won't let E'dawn promote his work but is fine making money off of his work anyway? This is super shady and petty if you ask me.

On his return to Korea after attending Tommy Hilfiger's show in Shanghai, Chanyeol was crowded by fans at Incheon airport. He had barely any space to walk and the fans damaged his shoe. In response, he posted a message on instagram asking his fans to be more careful in future.

BTS' IDOL (ft. Nicki Minaj) debuts at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100

[pinklunacy.livejournal.com]

BTS' "IDOL," featuring Nicki Minaj, soars in at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Sept. 8), arriving as the second-highest-charting K-pop hit in the chart's archives. The group holds the mark with its No. 10 hit "Fake Love," which debuted and peaked at No. 10 in June.

"IDOL" is from BTS' new No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, Love Yourself: Answer, the act's second leader, which opens with 185,000 equivalent album units, according to Nielsen Music.

The song starts at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart with 43,000 downloads sold in the week ending Aug. 30. BTS previously led the list with "Fake Love," which premiered with 29,000 in June.

"IDOL" marks BTS' fourth total Hot 100 appearance. Before "Fake Love," "DNA" hit No. 67 last October, while "MIC Drop," featuring Desiigner, debuted and peaked at No. 28 in December. The latter song brought BTS' best sales week for a song (45,000 upon its debut, narrowly out-performing the start of "IDOL").

"IDOL" begins at No. 11 on Streaming Songs, with 24.4 million first-week U.S. streams in the week ending Aug. 30. ("Fake Love" debuted and peaked at No. 7, with 27.4 million.) The track is bubbling under the Pop Songs radio airplay chart, led by instant support at reporters Radio Disney (59 plays in the week ending Sept. 2), KJYO Oklahoma City (28) and KDDB Honolulu (22).

"Cheongdam Key-chen" Preview & Key's Beauty+ Photoshoot

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

In “Cheongdam Key-chen,” Key will open up his house to guests, where he will cook them food tailored to their personal preferences, as they talk and share stories.

In his new "cooking talk show," Viewers will get to see the singer welcome guests from various backgrounds to his kitchen in the nice Cheongdam neighborhood in southern Seoul -- celebrities, models and even some of Key’s ex-colleagues. “Cheongdam Key-chen,” as the singer’s very first show, will give a rare voice to young idols, who have few places where they can be honest and share their stories, director Kim Dong-wook said during a publicity event Wednesday.

As people often feel comfortable sharing personal stories over a meal, the show’s creators hope to provide a much-needed media space for discussions between celebrities.

Key hopes his guests will feel comfortable enough to discuss heavy topics like their worries or their artistic direction, he added, saying he also holds out hope that his show might eventually become a seasonal show.

( Who are the first Cheongdam Key-chen guests? And what is Key cooking first? )

“Cheongdam Key-chen” will air on Thursdays, with its first episode on September 6 at 7 p.m. KST on KakaoTV. From September 13, it will air every Thursday at 6 p.m. KST on JTBC4.
