[news] Park Bom continues to sweep charts with hit single "You and I"

Last week, we reported that Park Bom topped the charts with her solo single "You and I" only after days of release. Bom captivated hearts of fans with a rnb single and a music video that goes very well the song.

This song is produced by no other than Teddy who also produced hit songs from 2ne1's mini album and Lollipop. Looks like another hit is going to be added to the long list. After a week, Bom continues to top the charts clearing up competition such as SHINee's Ring ding dong, Ivy's Touch me, Brown Eyed Girls' Sign and so on.

This solo song will be included in the first full album of 2ne1 that will be later released this year. With the continuous success of Bom's single could this mean she will be promoting the song in next weeks music shows? YG has been considering it and news is that Bom is already practicing for the song!

Well, all we have to do is wait and pray that Bom will be promoting her first solo song. Another success from 2ne1.



Here are some of the charts she topped:
>MELON
>MONKEY 3
>MUZE
>CYWORLD

note: I do not know from what site the other charts are from since I do not know how to translate korean. :D

[news] Trot Singers Boycott MAMA

It has been revealed that trot singers Jang YoonJung and Park HyunBin will not be participating for MAMA this year.

According to the 2’s company on 1st November, it was revealed that they will not be attending MAMA. The reason for that is that there are doubts about the fairness and also selection criteria for ‘Trot music award’ for MAMA which the 2 are nominated in.

Briefly, it was said that Jang YoonJung’s ‘I like you’ released recently, featuring her boyfriend, has gone up to the #1 on Chart Korea for the 2nd week of April in just 2 weeks after its reveal. Even until now the song continues to receive much love from trot music fans.

Jang YoonJung is also a well-known and acknowledged trot singer – she won the Golden Disk last year and was voted as Korea’s #1 favourite singer. Even if it not in terms of album release, she is a singer with a certain level of popularity.

MAMA PD then voiced that they have selected the nominees according to MVs, and the duet song by Jang YoonJung and her boyfriend was not promoted on music shows and there was no MV for the song.

The nominees for trot music award on MAMA:

Trot Music Award - Gyeon Miri (Happy Woman), Park Hyun Bin (Brilliant Life), Seong JinYoo (딱이야), Joo HyunMi and SeoHyun (JjaRaJaJjan), Hong JinYeong (Love’s Battery)

And on 30th October, Gyeon Miri’s ‘Happy Woman’ was replaced by ‘Shy’ by Wink. Jang’s company also voiced about their unhappiness about how MAMA lacks in dealing with this – replacing its nominees – without official announcement, the nominees were replaced.

[news] UPDATED: BEAST's Doojoon and Yo Seob's Bromance + Yo Seob Rejects Ki Kwang?

With BEAST currently gaining a lot of popularity, it's hard NOT to notice a bromance forming between members Doojoon and Yo Seob.

I'm sure fangirls (and perhaps some fanboys) have been pretty sad lately that their hasn't been many bromances forming or just not getting to see bromances in general. However, newcomers BEAST will give those fans what they want.

BEAST's leader Doojoon and main vocalist Yo Seob have been seen getting rather...close with the past few performances of "Bad Girl" as well as off camera with behind the scene footage from the "Bad Girl" MV shoot. I think it's rather cute that Fake T.O.P. Doojoon and the little blonde boy Yo Seob have a bromance going on. They look like opposites, one with the sexy eyes, the other with a cute little boy look. However, you know there is love going on between them the moment you watch them together.

Check out clips of their bromance!!

Behind the Scenes of the BEAST MV (first 5 seconds):


October 25th Performance of "Bad Girl" (at 2:14, Yo Seob kneels down in front of Doojoon) :


October 25th Digital Music Rankings (entire video shows their bromance):


October 31st Performance of "Bad Girl" (at 2:06, Doojoon slaps Yo Seob's butt):


t's a good to see a new bromance blooming in the KPOP world since girl groups have dominated the past couple of months. However, they will never be able to live up to the best bromance ever, Jaebum and Taecyeon of 2PM.

[UPDATE]
On the November 1st, BEAST's Yo Seob and Ki Kwang presented the Digital Music Charts on Inkigayo. Yo Seob's "lover" was not there and it was evident that he wanted nobody, nobody but Doojoon. When Ki Kwang announced T-Ara and Supernova's "TTL Listen 2", Ki Kwang whips out the aeygo with the same pink bow that Yo Seob wore last week with Doojoon. However, Yo Seob flat out REJECTS Ki Kwang and goes on to state that he misses Doojoon. GASP! Drama drama!!

The rejection happens at 0:54

2PM continues activities 'without Jaebum'

The 6 member group 2PM has completed the filming of the music video in absolute secrecy.

Last month, on the 30th, 2PM had finished filming their music video and preparations for their activity for the first album on a set in Kyeonggido Kwangju. They have finalized their 6 member activty only a few months after Jaebum's withdrawal from the group. Their management company, JYPE and the music video production crew have been secretive about the planning and concept of this music video.

One staff revealed, "After Jaebum's withdrawal, 2PM had been under pressure because of the pointed interest and attention from the public and media. Even within the company, any talk related to 2PM's album or music video is being hushed."

The rumor has it that for this music video, 2PM had been able to minimize the gap left by leader Jaebum and finish the music video with no problem. They have completed the filming in just one day. It has been said that the only thing left is the editing process and finalization.

2PM has also finished the album jacket shoot quickly, increasing fans' curiosity. The company stated, "We have finished the music video and the photoshoot for the album jacket. We have finished everything necessary for the album. All we need to do now is to wait for the release."

For this album, producer Park Jin Young has put in a lot of attention and energy in the production. He had gone back and forth from America and Korea to produce this album even before Jaebum's withdrawal from the group. It has been said that he had focused on the stage performance aspect for 2PM. 2PM had been getting a lot of attention during their 'Again and Again' activity by being called the 'Beast Idols". Many are curious as to what the new concept will be for the new album.

Recently, the teaser site has been set up and it is getting a lot of attention from netizens. The countdown clock on the teaser site is increasing the curiousity of fans.

On October 29, Mnet said, “The production teams chose Lee Hyori and Lee Minwoo’s performance in 2003 and Lee Hyori and TOP’s kiss scene in 2008 as the best performances of MKMF’s history.”

When Hyori went solo in 2003, the song “10 Minutes” earned her the Most Popular MV award. She created even more topics in her sexy performance with Lee Minwoo that same year.

After that, in last year’s MKMF, Hyori and Big Bang member, TOP, performed in a music drama and shocked everyone with a kiss, which garnered a lot of attention from viewers and fans alike.
