New Song's Title: "BREAK OUT!!"

It is revealed on October 28th, 2009,
that TVXQ will take charge of the main theme song of
"Break Out!" which will be used at NHK's New Drama Series,
"Tomehane (Let us jump together)! Suzusato High School, Calligraphy Club".
(The Drama will start to air on January 7th, 2010; 8 PM on Thursdays.)

It is the first time for TVXQ to sing the theme song in Japanese production work of NHK.
They sang "Beautiful You", the theme song of the historical Korean Drama, "The Legend",
broad casted at NHK (2007-2008).

NHK chose TVXQ because they are:
"The group which has the most power right now (by NHK).
TVXQ participated last year's "Kohaku Utagassen,
(Red and White New Year's Music Special by NHK)";
they also performed two nights in Tokyo Dome very successfully."

The song will be a light pop music.
It is connected to the story line of the drama,
which displays the love story and the competition of the small calligraphy club
at the High school.

"Grab your own future, be positive and keep on going,
then your destiny will become bright! It is all up to you!"

That kind of message is included in this theme song.

TVXQ's leader Yunho (23) said,
"That will be nice if we could support young people
who are trying their best to achieve their dreams in their lives."
(T/N: That is who our TVXQ are!)


(T/N) May be media was waiting until today to write this kind of news to be released in public?
TVXQ singing the main theme song "Break Out!". Yes! Five of them all together!!!
I can not stop smiling. I needed to go some where, but I am gonna be late now. lol
I wanted to translate this great news asap for my friends.

"Grab your own future, be positive and keep on going, then your destiny will become bright!
It is all up to you!"

Yunho (23) said, "That will be nice if we could support young people who are trying their best
to achieve their dreams in their lives."

Yes!! Always Keep The Faith! Then the time to "Break Out!" will be there!!

Excuse me for being excited too much here. m(__)m vow..

[News]JYP to keep contract with JaeBum, “Time is the problem”


JYP Entertainment will maintain and keep its contract with 2PM member JaeBum, who has left the group recently and is currently staying in the States.

The contract period for JaeBum is 7 years. Currently, it has been over a year after his debut, and there are still 5 years left on the contract. So what remains now is when he will return to Korea to resume his activities, and what many calls “the problem of time”.

JYP will be holding an audition in Seattle coming 7th November, and through one of the officials from the company, JaeBUm has also been scouted during the audition by JYP in 2004.

It is still not decided if Park JinYoung will be present at the audition in Seattle. An official said, “Because of JaeBum, there has been much concern about the audition this round.”

JYP Entertainment has also been very careful when asked if JaeBum will return to Korea and resumes activities sooner. But what we know is JaeBum’s contract with JYP will remain.

An entertainment industry expert said, “Because his contract with JYP will be kept, it is high chance that he can return and resumes activities naturally, but time is the key here.”

[News] Jo Kwon leaves Ga-in


For about a week, as Jo Kwon was diagnosed earlier with the swine flu and is currently resting.

Due to Jo Kwon's condition, the October 28th filming for MBC's "We Got Married" was canceled. Jo Kwon is currently married to Brown Eyed Girls member Ga-In, which I'm extremely jealous about, but that's for another time.

Fortunately though, MBC has already filmed 2-3 episodes in advance, so the cancellation of the set will not have a major effect on the broadcasting schedule of the show.

Let's all wish Jo Kwon a quick recovery.
