[News]G-Dragon and Sandara Park #1 Idols that would succeed in acting !





Sidus HQ C.A.S.T. Training Center by iHQ had a survey last October 28th to November 1st for “an idol who could work as a full-time actor”. G-Dragon won with 217 votes, leading the male category and Sandara Park had 292 votes taking the lead of the female category.

Participants in the survey said that G-Dragon has done perfect acting on stage while performing and also in Big Bang music videos such as “Lie” people were impressed with his acting. Participants also said that if he did become an actor, he could play many roles, going from a cute boy, to his vocal charisma persona, and many more characters.

Sandara park already has experience in acting and has worked with other big actors. Also her real age is not noticeable and she has a really young face, so she would be able to pass off the role of a high school student. And her usually funny face expressions could be helpful for cartoon characters.

[Pictures] "Hafa Adai! Kara" Kara's photoshoot in Guam

Girl group Kara were reborn into fairies in Southern Asia. Recently finishing up their 2nd album promotions, in order to take pictures and recharge themselves, Kara went to Guam. The members completely fell victim to their first meeting with Southern Asia's charms. They were able to escape from their tiring schedules and enjoy their freedom. They were also able to temporarily forget about their diet.

After napping and enjoying their brunch, they played in the water under the sun. From the rather large natives, they learned to say a greeting by shaking their thumb and pinky fingers and saying "Hafa Adai". The natives somehow knew how to say "pretty" in korean toward the fairies of Kara. Kara's short but sweet 5 day 4 night trip to Guam was revealed to Sports Korea.

Part 1: Into the ordinary

Children on the water

They may have arrived late at night on an airplane, but there were no signs of being tired on the members of Kara. As soon as the water park opened, without deciding who would go first, they jumped onto the tube. As they reverted back to the state of children, they didn't want to leave the water. The youngest Jiyoung's innocent face was very impressive.

Fairies on the field

On the second day, they went to a hill for a picnic, and they faces were especially bright. As they wore their comfortable clothes rather than their stage costumes, it was rather striking. As the members spread the mat, and savoring every moment they had to themselves, they spent the entire time chatting and "kyaruru" laughing.

'Sly' Hara

While staying in Guam, she said she found laughter after being attacked(?) by bugs. She said she was happy since she got to eat and laught alot. With Hara's joyful face and slyly taking out a candy, it could only be cute.

'Innocent' Jiyoung

Youngest Jiyoung was completely into soap bubbles. While juggling both her school life and her singer activities, Jiyoung said she was getting alot of stress. It seems she forgot about all her worries during this shoot. She decorated the picture with her most innocent and fresh appearance.

'Goddess' Gyuri

The teams leader Gyuri smiled brightly. Even in this shoot, as the oldest she took care of all the other members schedules and showed her mature side. As she said the time she spent overseas with her fellow members felt very new, she didn't forget her goddess smile and held a cute flower and shyly smiled on the field.

'Lively' Nicole

Nicole is the most bright and lively in the team. Even in this shoot, she showed off her charms with a girly concept. She wore jeans that connects to her shoulder straps, and a navy beanie for a boyish appearance. With a baggy and tight match, she showed off her charms as having the teams best body.


Part 2: The Descending Fairies

'Radiant' fairy transformation

The kara fairies descended to Guam. Kara has has worm a new white mini dress and posed. Their appearance was quite different than the ones they showed on stage with cute and lively appearance. While watching their clean and innocent appearance, the staff said 'It feels like my eyes are cleansed', and their words did not sound like a joke.

Close fairies

Just as they are roommates in their dorms, Nicole and Jiyoung has stuck together this time too. They said they spent the most time together. Without even needing to say who is first, they wore a wedding veil and showed off a childish smile.

'Cute' Seungyeon

Seungyeon showed a bright smile in front of a blue ocean. Ordinarily she has a blunt personality, but this time it was different. While posing in front of the camera with her white dress, she was as warm and cute as the butterfly decoration on her head.

'Syalala' Hara

As soon as Hara saw her clothing, she felt satisfied as she said "It's a syalala dress". As she looked like a fairy descending from the sky, her term 'syalala' felt appropriate. We didn't forget her sweetness as she slightly lifted her right leg as she posed.

'Smart' Jiyoung

As the photographer said 'Try to capture the emotion', she is expressing an 'angry' pose. Jiyoungs playful acting created laughter inside the place where the blue skies and ocean can be seen.

Is SM blind or something? The lawsuit is not about the beauty company.They keep on making this as an excuse.As usual, all of today's news are SM's tactics.Like it or not, this is what i am going to say.Do not believe in what SM say and SM is trying to break fans up by merely stating YH and CM's statement.We wouldnt know if it is true or not.As a cassie, please believe in 5 of them.Always Keep The Faith !!!!!.None of the forums and sites believe a word out of it either.People who knew SM , and how they treated previous groups like Shinhwa,HOT and SES will know what i mean.

DBSK is always thinking about us fans.They know that we would get worried and hurt by all of this.Read the articles, they said they are worried for us.The people who will get hurt the most are the fans.

[news] SM Ent holds press conference calling TVXQ lawsuit as “a hoax to the Korean society exaggerating on issues of human rights and slavery”


SM Entertainment has officially given its last notification to the 3 members of Dong Bang Shin Ki.

SM Entertainment held a press conference on 2nd November in Seoul 63 Building at 3pm. At the press conference, SM Kim Young Min representative and SM Japan Nam SoYeong president, SM Han SaeMi and Jung ChangHwan directors were present.
At the press conference, they revealed their stand about the case brought up by TVXQ members Hero JaeJoong, Xiah JunSu and Micky YooChun as “a hoax exaggerating on issues of slavery and human rights.”

SM Kim YeongMin rep said, “The 3 members will be able to continue their individual activities with the application for disposition of the contract terms. But they have to carry out activities for Dong Bang Shin Ki through SM.”

“The 2 members (UKnow YunHo and Max ChangMin) will be having their comeback next year in Korea. 6 months before, everything has been decided.” and revealed that the 2 members are already preparing for their comeback next year.

With that Kim said, “We will request for the 3 members to give an answer by 12th November.”

He also added, “This lawsuit did not start due to issues of slavery and human rights, but due to the individual’s cosmetic businesses. The 3 members were using the contract terms to benefit themselves in the lawsuit, but what they have in mind all along is their businesses and profits.”

He continued, “The 3 members have gone on what they said a vacation to China in January in 2009, that was when they took part in a cosmetic business. And we know about that through photos of their company exposed. And through the website of their company, we got to know that their titles were directors and they even have their own namecards.”

Representative Kim said, “For this lawsuit, the 3 members also even think of changing the content to contract to benefit themselves. And previously in April, during their concert performance in China, the members also tried to declare trust with other junior singers in the company.”

“We have expressed our concerns of damaging the image and problems arose from the 3’s cosmetic businesses. We will confirm the contract and starting from any possible problems that may arise, we want protect the members. But we don’t see any effort from the 3 members with them refusing to reveal their contract.”

“This lawsuit is a hoax on the Korean society by exaggerating on the issues of human rights and slavery.”

[news] CEO of SME calls the legal actions a “fraud”


After everything that has happened tonight, many are waiting for the official words from SM Entertainment, and allkpop is first to bring you the statements from a press conference that just took place!

The entertainment company held a press conference today and told their side of the story regarding their legal dispute with three members of TVXQ/DBSK. In addition to a statement by Yunho and Changmin, the two members who did not take legal actions against SME, and statements by their fathers, SME's own representatives spoke up as well; Mr. Kim Young Min, the CEO of the company, stated the following.

Back when we first advanced to Japanese market with S.E.S., major entertainment companies in Japan normally asked for contracts in length from 5 to 7 years. As long as the entertainer stayed with the company for the stated amount of time, the company would not cease investment into the entertainer. When we first planned for BoA to work in Japan, we set the length of the contract at 10 years to allow for long-term investment and a partnership with a major Japanese entertainment company. This resulted in SME working with AVEX, the largest entertainment company in Japan. BoA's great success in Japan was a product of such planning.

When we first planned for DBSK, we wanted to make them the number one artist in Asia. Five members and their parents shared such vision and agreed to add 3 years to initial 10 year contract. The members and their parents agreed to the contract because they found the vision as the number one artist in Asia, constant support from SM, plans to go abroad and continuous investment into the group very appealing. Everyone thoroughly reviewed the contract and agreed to all clauses. To keep the promise of advancement into Japan, SME invested over $4 mil into DBSK despite poor financial condition that the company was in. After 5 years in Japan, we can finally say that we are successful. It is unfair to focus merely on the number 13 without any background knowledge of how the contract was made and the goals and visions shared between SME and DBSK.

On January 6th of 2009, the three members told SM that they were going to China for a vacation; but in fact, they attended a meeting with the beauty product company's Chinese subsidiary to talk about investment into the company. We only realized of the deal after photos of them promoting the company surfaced online. We then learned that the three members are board members of the Chinese subsidiary and that they even carry business cards of the company with their name and position engraved.

The three members demanded increase in their share in profit and we accepted their demands. In April, we had a dinner party after our concert in China. The three members told members of other groups about how much they trusted in SM. Shortly after in May, a Japanese fan asked AVEX's customer service department regarding an event by the beauty product company which claimed that the winner would have dinner with DBSK. SME feared that losses resulting from matters related to the beauty product business would be impossible to recover from. We wanted to review the members' contracts with the beauty product company to protect the members from potential dangers but they refused to share the contract with SME and did not take any actions to relieve SME from our concerns regarding their investment into that company. In June, a major beauty product company contacted us and said that they wanted to use DBSK in their commercials but the three members refused due to their own interest in beauty product business. Shortly after they took legal actions against SME.

The truth face of their action is a fraud. A fraud which fooled the entire nation with words such as "human rights" and "slavery".

Regarding the recent court ruling; three members are now free to pursue personal projects, however all DBSK-related work must be done through SME. Yunho and Changmin intend to promote DBSK in Korea next spring, and we feel that it should be planned at least six months in advance. SME asks the three members to respond to this by November 12th.

[news] Goddess Bom to perform "You and I" on Inkigayo


A piece of good news for the Blackjacks!

[cut out some allkpop commentary here lolz]

YG Entertainment expressed that they had been staying away from promoting Park Bom's solo, just like Dara with her, Kiss single. Dara's song topped the various music charts, but did not go on any further other that. They had believed that a special promotion will throw them off focus from their November album release.

A representative from YG stated on the 2nd, "Recently, the release of 2NE1's new album got delayed, clearing the path for Park Bom to promote her single. Because of all the love we received, we will not be rushing to complete this (2NE1) album. We will work hard to make sure that every song is of a title song calibre."

Park Bom, obviously nervous for her very first stage without her fellow 2NE1 girls by her side, said "I am very happy these days, but feel ten times pressures. I will try my best to be beneficial to my 2NE1." She is currently in a heavy training day and night to keep her promise to be the best. Her anticipated stage will open its veils on November 8th on SBS Inkigayo.

[news] SHINee speaks out about SM entertainment


In an interview with Joy News, when asked if they knew that they were known as "puppets" of SM Entertainment, SHINee responded by saying that those saying were "biased."

"SM gives us a lot of voice and they ask a lot for our opinions... it is our name in the album so it is our songs," added SHINee.

"It seems like the public has a lot of prejudices and stereotypes on idols. 'Chocolate Love' that was performed by SNSD and f(x) is different as we have our own distinctive colors. The company of course gives us support and a foundation. But even then, they dont give us one-sided actions which is not even a possibility."

SHINee is proud to be in SM and doesn't have anything to hide.

"Unlike other companies, they listen to our concerns and it's a family environment." SHINee added that in "Dream Concert and SM Concert, you can see that we care about each other and the older members of SM take good care of the younger ones."

"Maybe it's because they cared for us a lot during our trainee days, we hear that SM artists are very devoted."

SHINee also said that their first juniors are f(x) and they are looking after them.

"We saw them from trainee days and we didn't expect them to debut this fast. We didn't expect Sully to be this tall and pretty (laughs). We now feel how being seniors feel. We understand why our seniors took care of us the way they did. We want to be good seniors for f(x)."
