OMONA THEY DID(N'T)!

Choreographer Bae Yoon Jung expressed her gratitude to PSY on the latest episode of “Radio Star”!

Bae Yoon Jung, who is famous for coming up with the iconic choreographies for hit songs like EXID‘s “Up & Down,” T-ara’s “Bo Peep Bo Peep,” KARA’s “Mister,” and the “Produce 101” theme song “Pick Me,” made a guest appearance on the November 10 episode of the MBC talk show.

As many already know, when PSY was getting ready for his first comeback after the explosive success of his 2012 hit “Gangnam Style,” the singer chose to reuse one of K-pop’s most famous choreographies for his next song. PSY’s choreography for his 2013 track “Gentleman” was originally created for Brown Eyed Girls’ smash hit “Abracadabra,” which had everyone imitating its signature dance move back in 2009.

As Bae Yoon Jung was the original choreographer for “Abracadabra,” PSY reached out to her to ask for her permission to use the famous dance move, which had earned the nickname the “arrogant dance” in Korea.

Producers Park Jin-young and Psy, who founded their own entertainment agency after reaching the peak of their K-pop careers as singers, are now on a search for unique talent to lead the booming K-pop scene with SBS's new audition show "LOUD."

"This is a joint project by Park Jin-young's JYP Entertainment, Psy's P Nation and SBS to form two worldwide boy groups, one for each agency… unlike previous audition shows that focused on the participants' appearance, dancing and singing, we value what's inside them," said series production chief Park Sung-hoon, known for the hit audition series "K-pop Star," during an online media conference for "LOUD," Thursday.

"The two producers (Park Jin-young and Psy) have something in common. They are both singers, producers and directors that lead the hallyu business. And when they first debuted on the K-pop scene (in the 1990s and early 2000s, respectively), they were quite sensational," the producer said. "With the two, we tried to capture the synergy they will create when meeting competent millennials from these days."

Happy Friday! Quick post because I’m tired and I’m feeling all blah. Every week I go through the charts for this day in the past and share the top three songs. Then I pick up two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, let’s go back to the 2nd week in November, 2010. All the songs have been posted before so we’ll see some live stages this week.


#3 Girls’ Generation “Hoot”
I loved this era soooo much. That choreo? That styling? That big hair? That choreo? Ugh, A DREAM. This was the lead single of the EP of the same name, and the album would be one of the biggest sellers of the year.

Singer Psy said Tuesday he had nothing to say about the allegation that his father-in-law had connections with the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, a religious sect blamed for the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak in Korea.

The singer, famous for the international hit "Gangnam Style" married his current wife in 2016.

According to local newspapers and magazines, her father Yoo Jae-yeoul was the founder of a religious sect in 1966. Yoo was only 18 years old when he started it and called himself one of eight "angels" that received divine revelations.

The sect grew rapidly over the years, drawing followers including Lee Man-hee, the founder of the current Shincheonji Church of Jesus, who was then 36 years old.
