[NEWS] Beast member DooJoon interview with newson : "I want to be a singer..."

[NEWSEN]
Beast's YoonDooJoon and Jang HyunSeung seems to have a special story.

In Recent interview, Beast's Leader YoonDooJoon said "Actually, I used to be in a Junior High School Soccer Team. I also dreamed about being a High School Physical Education Teacher" and "During my junior - senior high school years I have lost a lot of weight. It was around the first or second year of high school that i've gone through a diet."

Then how did the the dream of being a physical education teacher or sportman change to being a singer? "At the time, MTV was broadcasting the 'BIGBANG Documentary'. I watched that and I realize that I would love to dance and sing with my friends. They just seemed so cool."

That time, Beast member JangHyunSeung appeared on the documentary. BigBang was preparing for their debut, but unfortunately HyunSeung was eliminated. DooJoon said that it was the first time he's seen HyunSeung, on TV.

"I was on my 2nd year of high school (TN: year 11) when 'BigBang documentary aired, and it changed my dream. My parents and teachers didn't agree with me. However, I pleaded to register for Music school. After that, I started auditioning to become a singer."

As many have known, YoonDooJoon was on 2PM-2Am documentary "HotBlood",a reality program that shows the preparation for their debut. YoonDooJoon said "During the hard training days in "Hotblood", together with ImSeulOng (2AM), Our hobby of enjoying midnight snack has been changed overnight."

"The time, I think it was so long, but then again, it was so short. This is Beast's first step in the music industry and we are walking to the top. We will show you our best on stage and please expect our new look in the future."

Meanwhile Beast (Yoon DooJoon, Jang HyunSeung, Yong JunHyung, Yang YoSeob, Lee KiKwang, Son DongWoon), made their debut with the title track "BAD GIRL".
Instead of looking like a nervous rookie, They have a laid back expression and performance since they have performed in Japan, Taiwan, China and other places which gather a lot of fans.

[NEWS] Beast member Hyunseung interview with newson: Activities with BigBang seems fun.

[NEWSEN]

JangHyunSeung of BEAST expressed his expectations for activities together with BigBang members.

In his latest interview with NEWSEN, HyunSeung said "We (B2ST) and BigBang members will probably see each other at the same broadcast" and "It will be really fun if we (B2ST and BigBang) do have an overlaping activity."

JangHyunSeung appeared on BigBang's reality show before they about to debut in the music industry. But after HyunSeung got eliminated from being a BigBang member, and the waiting time was harsh.

Meanwhile, HyunSeung met G-Dragon (Kwon JiYong, BigBang) on last October 18th SBS Inkigayo. Beast was doing their first stage and G-Dragon was doing his solo activity. The two also met separately after rehearsal but the story of the meeting has not been shared.

"Since BigBang debuted, I have not been in contact with them for 2-3 years. And that was the first time I met JiYong Hyung. He said 'From now on, 'we will be seing each other again oftenly in the future' and this makes me glad. We haven't seen each other for a long time so we were a little awkward and I was touched."

On the next SBS Inkigayo, BigBang's TaeYang will also make a solo comebac. Jang HyunSeung, just like with G-Dragon last time, will also meet TaeYang.

Since he was young, watching SeoTaiJi and Boys, and H.O.T makes HyunSeung wants to be an artist. A lot of Kids switches their dreams along the way, but for HyunSeung, "I have never thought of anything else beside being a singer."

"On the October 15th showcase, There was a lot of tension and I cannot sleep, maybe only 30minutes of sleep. maybe I would rate it 3 points out of 10? There were a lot of mistakes and shame. On the 16th 'Music Bank' was better than the showcase, i think. Being on a live Music program feels kinda weird. But I still think it was better."

"It seems like i was wearing a bag of sand on the stage" he said of the tension during the first time on stage. It's been so long since he first started practicing as a trainee. And now, with BEAST, JangHyunSeung has matured and ready.

[News] "THSK/DBSK/TVXQ - Most Successful Korean Artists In Japan"

Although TVXQ have put a stop to all their activities within the country (T/N: Korea), but TVXQ's popularity is still blazing. On 2nd October, as part of TVXQ's official schedule, they performed passionately in Shanghai for their Shanghai, China, concert. It coincided with China's national holidays and the Mid-Autumn Festival, but they still managed to bring all 40,000 Chinese fans in the stadium, into a frenzy.

Also, the duet single that was released in Japan during the end of September, by TVXQ members Jaejoong and Yoochun, as well as the celebratory DVD for TVXQ's Tokyo Dome performances, achieved first place on the Oricon charts on the very first day they were released, and these two works were also certified "Gold" by the RIAJ in October (surpassing 100,000 in sales).

When the Oricon Editor-in-chief was receiving an interview from "Star the Secret" and TVXQ was mentioned, he didn't hold back from heaping praises, and said, "They are number one on the Oricon charts for non-Japanese artists and other Asian artists, and this is something that has not been seen in the past 20 years, this is a first. Foreign artists who have sold more than 100,000 copies, after Led Zepplin and The Beatles, TVXQ are the first.

[news] Ivy Sizzles the Screen with 'Touch Me' Teaser

A few days ago, Ivy released two tracks off her third album. Today, she releases a teaser for "Touch Me," sure to catch your attention.

Ivy is not your typical female singer, relying on looks to win her fans. She actually has talent to back it up. From the recent teasers, viewers got to see the versatility of Ivy. Not only can she belt out some vocals, she can also switch it up with fast upbeat songs.

The teaser was not only interesting to watch, but it also leaves viewers wanting more--of her voice and video clips. If this teaser is anything close to her so called "sex tape," Ivy sure did have some worrying to do. Fans will probably never get to see the sex tape, but they are free to watch the teaser again and again.

Ivy's third album is set to release October 29, 2009. Hopefully, these teasers will satisfy the fans' yearnings until then.

[news] BEAST reveals the experience of 6 people living together.

BEAST started living together about 3-4 months ago. In their latest interview with Newsen, they remarked, “We finally know what newlyweds are talking about when they say ‘Even the way we squeeze toothpaste is different.’”

“Living together is really fun. Lately we don’t have that much time to be at our apartment, but depending on the neatness of each member, we suffer or don’t suffer.”

In BEAST’s apartment, there is a “District 13”* – the clothing room. Trying to organize the clothes of 6 boys is useless. The members “just quietly close the door because we can’t look at it.”

The BEAST member who takes care of neatness, Yong JunHyung said, “At first, I planned on just keeping my area clean, but my cleanliness spread. I threw away the members’ stuff that was lying around and did other harsh things, but they didn’t even blink an eye. Instead, they started disobeying even more.”

“Truthfully, there isn’t anyone who is messy. If I ask, “Who did it?” they all deny it. At first I was I was hurt, but now I accept it.”

Today’s singers do not just sing. They take control of variety shows and boast speaking skills that rival the skills of gagmen. Does BEAST have interest in entertainment? The members picked golden hair Yang Yoseub and leader Yoon Dujun as the members who are full of entertainment skill.

“I had a lot of interest in entertainment. But it seems like it could be difficult. Timing is important. I don’t even know if I have entertainment skill. I’m the type who is funny while I ruin my image, so I’ll have to study hard. My shoulders are heavy. (laughs)” (Yo Seub)

The members say, “Yoseub is really funny, but unfortunately, instead of impersonating celebrities, he only impersonates people like our company chief, manager, and company workers. Even if he wanted to, he can’t show his skill on broadcasts.”

BEAST (Yong JunHyung Son Dongwoon Jang Hyunseung Yang Yoseub Lee Kikwang Yoon DuJun) made an electric debut with their title song, “Bad Girl.” They are only rookies, but instead of extremely nervous expressions, they perform with confidence and have already garnered fans from Japan, Taiwan, China, and other nations.

With performances this coming October 24 on MBC “Music Core” and October 25 on SBS “Inkigayo,” Beast will continue their pursuit of popularity.

[news] Heechul makes his solo debut?

Actively performing singer and actor Kim Heechul of Super Junior will release his first solo song in the OST of the SBS Drama (I Love You a Thousand Times).

While already infusing a lot of energy in his impersonation of Eechul, an immature and cunning character of (I Love You a Thousand Times), Kim Heechul was invited by Music Director Park Sejun to participate in the OST as well; the song ‘Chobyeol’, which Kim Heechul sang himself, will become his own theme song in the play.

‘Chobyeol’ (composed by Song Junho, lyrics written by Choi Myunghoon) is a disco and rock flavoured medium tempo song; the lyrics deal with Eechul’s unrequited love (Kim Heechul) and his first love confession to Nanjung (Park Soojin), representing his feelings well.

This is the first time Kim Heechul is formally releasing a solo song, and although he has been performing his own tracks for a variety of solo stages at numerous concerts, we will now be able to feel yet another of his charms.

‘Chobyeol’, Kim Heechul’s first solo song, will be broadcasted starting from this coming weekend, and will eventually be released on online music websites such as Melon, Dosirak, Bugs, etc. on November 6.

[NEWS] "Nicole doesn’t think Gyuri is a goddess?", ... on the upcoming SGB!

If you know anything about Kara, you must know that leader Park Gyuri is infamous for calling herself a goddess. On a recent recording of the new format for "Star Golden Bell" without Nicole's "Level with Me," Park Gyuri made a comment to the returned MC, Ji Suk Jin.

She began by stating, "I know that Ji Suk Jin loves pretty girls. He really likes to pick on pretty guests to talk to during recordings. I just want to ask him to not just speak to me." Gyuri Goddess strikes again!

Nicole then responded by saying, "Gyuri unnie always calls herself a goddess, but as time passes it seems like the dark circles under her eyes are getting bigger from loss of sleep!"

Ji Suk Jin tried to defend Gyuri by stating, "But I've never seen her dark circles." Gyuri admitted to her flaw like the cool girl she is by smoothly saying, "They're about 2cm below my eyes."

This episode of Star Golden Bell will air on the 24th.
