[Info]Lee Seong Min and Eugene are Good Friends

Actress Lee Seong Min, who plays as the rival of Eugene’s character, Han Sang Eun on the MBC weekend drama, “Creating Destiny”, ha released a photo of the two of them on the set.

Despite of their rivalry against each other in the drama, these two are actually very close to each other. Their pretty faces are quite similar and lots of netizens said that they look like sisters.

If you have been following “Creating Destiny”, you’d never guessed that the two of them are actually friends with each other. Especially after all the grudges and whatnot between them in the drama, loving the same guy (played by Ki Tae Young). Their relationship based on the scripts are actually more complicated than this pretty picture above.

However, outside the drama, their relationship is 180 degrees different from what we’ve seen so far. Lee Seong Min grew up in LA, and as Eugene also grew up aboard in Guam, these two shared a pretty much similar situation growing up, and that makes them really close like sisters.

Eugene often gives her some acting advice as Lee Seong Min is more junior than her in this field. These two bond rather closely outside the drama, as completely different than their characters’ relationship on-screen.

[Info] Christmas fashion items from 4Minute!

4Minute designed some cool pouches for the various MP3 series of Sony. These pouches are valuable not only because they are designed by idols, but also because of their fashion value. It is the best gift for yourself this Christmas, don’t you think so?





Now let’s take a closer look at the pouches designed by 4Minute.

GaYoon is the designer of the pouch for NWZ-S740 series which has a talking function. This mp3 seems to have helped her through her university entrance exam preparations. A pink pouch with dark spots is suitable for young students, a very cute design.

SoHyun designed the pouch for NWZ-S540 series with quality speakers. Her colourful design fits the energetic mp3 player and at the same time represents the fashionable style of 4Minute.

HyunAh designed the pouch for the NWZ-B140 series. The sparkling LED is just like HyunAh, so charismatic. Her design is simple, with purple as the base colour, this is quite different from the enthusiastic HyunAh we see on stage.

JiYoon has always been showing us much charisma on stage, same goes for her design for the cool NWZ-X1050 series, which is in the charismatic colour of black, the colour that is a timeless trend. If you have not realized, 4Minute's Muzik has been used for the CF of this series as well.

JiHyun’s pouch design is cute yet elegant for the NWZ-E440 series which comes in many colours and has a great sound system. White circles on a black background reminds one of snowflakes falling down from the night sky of winter. The leader sure shows off her cute charm with her adorable design. 


The girls are holding E440 mp3 players in various colours here.

This promotion will end by 31st December.

[Info] SNSD Tae Yeon's position changed from Leader to Main Vocalist on Naver!

Some latest info concerning SNSD's Tae Yeon.

If you check on Naver a few days ago,you will see Tae Yeon's position as the leader of the group as well as the main vocalist,however if you check now,you will only see Tae Yeon as the main vocalist of the group.

In my opinion,it is not important at all whether there is a leader in the team or not,if all the members can get along well together,it is the same whether there is a leader or not,but of course still hope that Tae Yeon will still be the dorky leader of SNSD,i have got used to call her the dorky leader of SNSD,but not she is just an ex....

SM entertainment has released the list of rankings based on Super Junior's vocal abilities. 13 people, all 13 have different talents, different singing abilities so do not be upset if your favourite member is right at the bottom.

4.Lee Sungmin
5.Lee Donghae

13.Shin Donghee( Shin Dong )

As i said before, all 13 people have different talents so some are in charge of singing, some are in charge of dancing, some mc-ing, some rapping and other
talents. Thats why Super Junior is known as a multi- talented boy group.
And you might have notice, the top three are in Super Junior K.R.Y sub group, so they should be there if not why would that sub group be created?
Feel free to say your opinions about the ranking but don't fight because you don't like the ranking.

[Info] Countdown on Stardoll was wrong

(Visited the site @ 11:42 PM December 6)

So a lot of you were wondering why they said December 8, 2009 @ 3 PST but on Stardoll.com the countdown was counting down for tomorrow, well it was a mistake by Stardoll.com NOT a typo by JYP on wondergirlsworld.com.

They re-updated it and switched the countdown clock to the real date of the live webchat which is December 8, 2009 @ 3PM.

Looks like we still have 2 more days to go (sadly).

[Info/Pictures]Jung Yong Hwa’s 10asia interview & photos

Check out Jung Yong Hwa’s interview with 10asia as he revealed more information of himself in the interview.

My name is Jung Yong Hwa. I tried asking at one of the places where they read your fate. It means that the face looks friendly.

I was born on June 22, 1989 in the Yeoksam district of Seoul. But I consider myself from Busan because I moved there when I was two and lived there till I graduated from high school.

My family consists of my parents and a brother who is 4 years older than me. Every member in my family are of the so-called timid A blood type.

After coming to Seoul, I put in a lot of effort to correct my Busan dialect. My friends back in Busan who saw the first episode of my drama called me and said that I use standard Korean now. Haha.

The scene where I say, “Come sit here. I’ve made some warm tea,” is what I acted in the auditioning for my part in “Minamishineyo”. My acting isn’t good but I think the director gave me good remarks for the fact that I know how to play the guitar and that I was from a band. During the audition, I also sang our song “Now or Never” from our group’s Japanese single.

Since it was my first time acting I think the writers were also quite worried so they called me up separately and explained my character to me. They also asked me to think about how to express Kang Shin Woo’s character without making him seem too cheesy. I tried my best but I think I still ended up expressing him a bit over the top.

With Park Shin Hye who played Go Mi Nam, we became friends but I got a lot of help from her as there were a lot of scenes that we need to act together. She always dressed as a guy in the drama which at one point, I will a bit surprised when she dressed herself up as the female.

Regarding Jang Geun Suk who played Hwang Tae Kyung, I was initially very worried because I thought he would scary. Haha. But he wasn’t at all, and I’m very thankful that he acted like the eldest that he let us enjoy ourselves when we should but also taking charge at the right times.

Lee Hong Ki, who played Jeremy in the drama was in the same company as mine so we had been pretty good friends even before we went into the shooting. A photograph of him sleeping while lying on my legs at the airport was posted on the website but that’s because we’re that close and he was tired. We always have to wait for quite sometimes.

A video of me acting giddy was posted on the Internet recently. A friend of mine took that video on his cellphone while we were in the bus to go on a trip to Jeju island as juniors in high school. I say, “Stop shooting me” but I was just playing around — I asked him to shoot the video for me. I think it’s good that people could see the real me rather than as my role as Kang Shin Woo.

My band’s name C.N.BLUE stands for Code Name Blue. Our company put up prize money for the person who comes up with the best name. Our band’s goal is to become the best in Asia and hopefully to bring changes to the Korean music industry which less bands was seen in the industry.

In the band, I’m the oldest. Jong Hyun, who is also the vocal along with me and plays the guitar. He is manly but still he has his naive side. Our youngest member and drummer Min Hyuk looks like a baby but he’s good at cleaning up. Oh, although we never make him clean up (laughing). Our new bassist Jung Shin is same age as Min Hyuk but he’s good at taking care of the band. Most of all, everyone in the band likes music.

My band members showed their support for my acting by watching every episode of “Minamishineyo”. They even carried my bags for me when I returned from shooting in Japan. Haha.

I don’t favor one music genre over another. I like Bon Jovi’s brisk style of singing and the voices of Placebo and The Calling. I’m also very interested in R&B and hip-hop. That’s why I sometimes try following the rap. Dancing? I want to be good at it but it’s difficult. I think it’s the most difficult.
