Shenzhen Concert tickets were sold before SM attained government permit
The Chinese government performance permit was signed and issued on October 28th, 2009, while SM started selling the tickets for the performance in September after the provisional disposition was filed, which means they started selling the tickets before obtaining the Chinese government permit.
In the following picture are two permit. The first one is obtained on October 28th for the Shenzhen concert, it was then updated on November 3rd. The second half is the permit for the Bejing concert. For both, the dates the permits were attained have been underlined.
So basically, SM began selling the tickets before they were certain whether the concert will happen or not. Even though SM specifically said they knew about all the stops in June 2008 for the tour, there’s no way they could have been certain of this particular concert until October 28th of this year.

2NE1 has a special stage planned for fans at the upcoming MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards). November 21st is fast approaching and though many are not attending, we still have a few artistes to look forward to.
Fans may have been enjoying Park Bom's solo song, You and I, so much so that it's been number 1 on certain music charts for 2 weeks in a row but it's time for her to re-group with 2NE1.
We've heard countless remix versions of I don't care but it seems like it's not enough! They will perform a musical styled version of I don't care at MAMA. They've been practicing hard for the special stage and have put their new album on hold for it.
The members have been working with musical actors to make sure to put on their best stage yet. They said, "We are so nervous and excited because MAMA is our first awards show. We have been working hard for this stage because we haven't been on stage in awhile."

2NE1's Baskin Robbins CF was just released, but who really eats ice cream in the winter? Well apparently everyone, now that 2NE1 is endorsing it. So go grab your coats and head on over to a Baskin Robbins near you.
Baskin Robbins is definitely taking advantage of idol endorsements, with Wonder Girls in 2007, Big Bang in 2008 and now 2NE1.
Anyway, with Christmas right around the corner, expect to see an influx of x-mas themed idol group CF's. I'm sure that'll get everyone into the holiday spirit, right?

If you are an SNSD fan, you probably know about the "Sica Effect" (when Jessica talks, she calms the entire situation/environment). However, this time, it causes a much different and opposite effect. It seems as that Jessica's appearance (along with Kim JiWoo & Lee Honey) as one of the lead roles in the Korean version musical of Legally Blonde has gained a lot of attention.
The musical officially began on November 14, 2009. Its sales were around #10 in the musical sales. On November 16, 2009, at 2:00PM, when Jessica's performance tickets were on sale, Legally Blonde has become #1 in musical sales immediately.
The Legally Blonde musical held in Korea is the first attempt in Asia on a reenactment of recent Broadway musical, and earned numerous positive feed backs. Their production, music, choreography, characters, and the harmony of all the factors contributed to the compliments.
The musical will be continued until March 14, 2010 at the coexartium, the main actors alternating in different days. Jessica's first stage will be held on December 22nd and 23rd. Good luck to Jessica and all the rest of the cast in the musical!
Those of you that are bummed that you can not watch the musical in person (which includes myself as well), take a peek at the showcase held on October 22, 2009 below.

Pictures have been circulating and netizens are going crazy but is this mystery girl really Minwoo's new girlfriend?
That's the question on everyone's mind right about now. The mystery girl still remains a mystery, but many photos have been revealed of the Shinhwa member and this Jane Doe.
Many speculate that she is Minwoo's new girlfriend, which is what it seems like after looking at these pictures of the two cuddled up. In my perspective she is either his girlfriend or Minwoo must really love taking pictures with strangers. If the latter is true, Lee Minwoo better welcome me with open arms as well.

Sandara Park of 2NE1 was the guest on this weeks SBS' Family Outing and got a cold welcome from Lee Hyori. It seemed as if Hyori didn't like her inevitable successor in the KPop scene.
Like always in Family Outing, the celebs cook on their own and Sandara decided to make kimchi pancakes. During the preparation, Hyori would talk cold to Sandara as if she was jealous. Of course, this was all for fun and giggles.
Hyori asked how much Dara weights and she replied with 40kg (88 pounds). Sandara then told a story about how when she was in her teens growing up in the Philippines, she used to be a big fan of Hyori. She blamed Hyori for her not being able to grow tall because she once saw how Hyori loved melons and she decided to take melons from Philippines in her backpack to Korea. Her friends said they were going to go see Hyori so they went and waited in front of her house when Hyori's mom came out. Sandara gave the melon to Hyori's mom and in return the mom gave her a signed picture of Hyori. Sandara left without getting to meet Hyori and Hyori asked "you did all that and you didn't get to meet me?... there are lots of kids like that."
Hyori then asked Dara if she had a username on Hyori's fan cafe. Dara replied with, "of course! it was 'Eyes Smile Wabang Hyol' (named after Hyori's famous smiling with her eyes).
Throughout the episode, Hyori expresses her jealousy towards Sandara but it was very cute from both sides. The episode of Family Outing was released today so go check it out!
By the way, Sandara's unorthodox kimchi pancake looks good!

Park Jin Young speaks up officially about 2PM's Jaebum for the first time on MBCs's "Golden Fishery".
On the November 11th episode of "Golden Fishery", Park Jin Young said, “If Jaebum comes back, he will return as part of 2PM, of course. It will not be a solo comeback.”
MC Kang Ho Dong then asked, “Did you have to send Jaebum off to America in such a rush?” and Park Jin Young replied, “When Jaebum’s case was exposed, it was put under great criticism. And when he returned to the States, suddenly public opinion was, ‘Was there a mistranslation?’ and that he did not do any wrong. The answer is in-between.”
He continued, “Even though it was not like it was a mistake, it was not like it wasn’t a mistake as well. Someone who is responsible for part of the culture or has nothing to do with our culture should not be receiving the criticisms.”
“Jaebum is not a bad child. Back then, he was going through a tough time and was not motivated at all. He even said to me, "If it is not Park Jin Young’s song, I am confident of success." But I like it that he does not lie. Jaebum has been changing and the Jaebum now is very different from the Jaebum then. The Jaebum back then caused hurt to many Koreans, but the Jaebum now is very embarrassed by what he has done and does not want to burden the group as the leader, so he has decided to leave. If it was me, I would have done the same.”
Kang Ho Dong then asked, “As the company, shouldn’t you stop him?” Park Jin Young said, “He did wrong, and on his own, he thought that he did wrong. If you care about Jaebum... I think that public opinion and fans should leave him be. He will know that everyone cares, but leave him to be for now.”
inally, he said, “The thing that I can do is be help as a singing and dance teacher to help him keep his standards as a singer up during this resting period. When he is willing to return on to the stage, I will help him willingly. If Jaebum is to return, he will return as 2PM and not solo. Jaebum, the other members and myself, will not want a solo comeback.”

For her third album, I Be..., Ivy was set to make a full recovery from her sex scandal, but trying to make that recovery is going to be difficult especially if she is not getting exposure through music programs.
Ivy made her comeback on SBS' Inkigayo on November 1st with her song "Touch Me," and fans were expecting Ivy to continue her comeback stages on KBS and MBC. Two weeks has past since her comeback stage on SBS, and still Ivy has not performed on either KBS or MBC. Now fans are left questioning when exactly, or if she will ever make those other comebacks.
Although Ivy's album and songs are doing well in the music charts, she has not been doing well in promoting them. KBS and MBC explained that if an artist has a good song, they will liaise for performances, but in Ivy's case, they do not feel as though they need to have her performances.
If we look deeper into this issue, the finger points back to Ivy's ex-mangament company.
Ivy is currently under De Chocolate E&TF, but in the past, she was under Fantom Entertainment. After discovering that her ex-management company has been lobbying PDs to have its entertainers appear on shows, it has led to a discord between music company and the two television companies.
Even though Ivy is no longer with Fantom Entertainment, she is still tied to the company and faces biased treatments because of her previous ties. In addition, with the recent news that Ivy's music video, "Touch Me," has been banned, it does not help her situation nor give MBC or KBS a reason to have her on their programs.
De Chocolate E&TF acknowledges Ivy's strength in her live performances, and regret that the current situation is hindering her from performing on music shows. Sadly, from this statement, we do not know if Chocolate E&TF will work to resolve this issue.
With this setback, will Ivy still be able to succeed?
