[news] 4Minute Gives Back


4Minute gives back by joining the "Performing Arts Cooperation Love’s Charity Auction" and donating signed clothes and bags. Looks like 4Minute doesn't only have talent and beauty; they also have kind hearts.





The singers of "Hot Issue" isn't just hot in terms of physical attributes and style, they also are on fire when it comes to helping.

4Minute is recognized as fashionistas with all of their colorful clothing onstage and so using what they have, they have donated brightly-colored (fresh) clothes and handbags and have signed them personally. The signatures may just give these items the rise in price they need in order to help more people.

Other groups like Big Bang, 2NE1, Kara, Xing and SS501 have also donated some of their collected items and decided to give all of the proceeds to help fund the children of low income families with their education and everyday living.

[news] [091111] Supporting Letter for TVXQ in 4 Different Languages


TVXQ and Cassiopeia are one. (TVXQ and Cassiopeia, we are one.)
TVXQ, the Rising Gods of the East
Cassiopeia, the guardian of the constellation of TVXQ



Recently, there have been a lot of news regarding TVXQ, and we are very worried; SM is currently using many ways to attack TVXQ in an attempt to divide the gods and us. These actions are unbearable, but SM will never tear us apart.
Six years have already passed, and we now have enough strength to protect TVXQ. We made a promise that no matter what happens we will stand by TVXQ. We love you and believe in you, just like we have since the beginning.

Please do not forget our promise. When you are sad and down, there is still us. When you are sad, happy, or having a hard time, just turn your head and we will always be there for you, to support and cheer you on.
TVXQ, we will walk with you to the end.
During those six years, we have matured, and have gained trust for one another. Every scene has been imprinted onto our minds; the sadness, the pain, the touching moments, and the happiness – these are what we shared together. Every single page is the footprints of love. We have grown up maturely; though we may not be able to do much, we have chosen to believe and we choose to protect willingly.

We always wanted to say out loud, “Dong Bang Shin Ki, it has been tough for you, but all the sweat and tears were worth it. Please take care of yourselves!
Dong Bang Shin Ki, please take the courage and the love from each one of us, and keep moving forward.

We will support you towards the road to the future!
Cassiopeia will always be by your side. We will never leave!
We are TVXQ’s Cassiopeia forever.

[news] Kim Tae Woo, "I Like Seung Yeon Even More Than Nicole Now"


Singer Kim Tae Woo(KTW) has revealed that he likes Seung Yeon(SY) more than his ideal type Nicole now.

During a recent recording of SBS "Star King" which airs on 11/14, KTW danced with SY cuddled in his embrace. Even though other celebrity guests told him "stop fulfilling your personal wishes on camera", KTW displayed passionate hugs with SY with every dance move.

KTW and SY got into this situation while performing a popular form of modern Japanese dance called "union dance" which has the concept of "communication between bodies". In "Union dance", the basics starts with the female dancer standing on the male dancers feet, and relies on synergy between the two as the female's feet should never touch the floor.

Due to KTW's 190cm height, he led SY smoothly and naturally, and SY showed off her flexible wave dances as usual - resulting in a strangely pleasing peformance that reminded of Beauty and the Beast.

And even when the dance was over, KTW playfully did not let SY out of his embrace, confessing "Nicole used to be my ideal type, but now I like SY even more."

[news] Kim Heechul, "Want Recognition As An Actor" Loses 8kg


Super Junior's Kim Heechul lost 8kg, and immersed himself in his acting.

In a recent interview with SportsHankook, Kim Heechul stated, "To be able to appear on screen as the best person I can be, I started on a weight loss plan. In two weeks I successfully lost 8kg. To be able to give everyone my best self, I feel very content."

In SBS's weekend drama [I Love You Ten Million Times] (Screenplay: Kim SakyungㆍDirector: Kim Jungmin), Kim Heechul has successfully changed into an actor. In the drama, alongside the group Sugar's Park Soojin, they act as a couple, & he achieves this role very well. Kim Heechul wasn't satisfied with himself in recent scenes, and began to exercise and eat less, starting a special grade weight loss plan. Kim Heechul stated that his weight loss secret was that he used tofu & roasted chestnuts to replace rice.

Kim Heechul said, "Not only as a singer, but I want recognition as an actor. Whatever appearance I give on stage the fans always gaze lovingly, but it's different in a drama. Not merely just weight loss only, but it takes self-management as well to show the best image."
