[News] SJ-M: No time to date, nor to experience what a kiss feels like

Popular Korean boy band SJ-M said they’re too busy to be in love. Donghae laughed and said he doesn’t even know what a kiss feels like.

SJ-M has a full-packed sked in Taiwan. Asked about their impression of Taiwan, Kyuhyun said A-mei’s “Ding Hai” was the first Mandarin songs he’s heard, while Donghae couldn’t seem to stop talking about Ariel Lin and said he would like to shoot an idol drama with her.

The group been traveling all over Asia to promote their music careers, so they haven’t had time to fall in love. Siwon said: “Women need to have [their special] someone by their side, but we’re all too busy, they might not like to be in a relationship with us.” Donghae even laughed and said: “Up to now, I still don’t know what a kiss tastes like!”

Hangeng who was once rumored to be involved with his senior, Li Xiaolu, explained: “We’re really just good friends. If meeting friends is enough to spark rumors, then I’m worried that if I go out with a male friend, [people] might think we’re gay. I hope our fans can understand and refrain from verbally attacking my friends.

[News] Wonder Girls collaborate with famed producer Dave Stewart

Korean girl band Wonder Girls will be collaborating with famed producer Dave Stewart for their U.S. debut album, according to the producer's official twitter page.

On Saturday, Stewart posted on his twitter page (http://twitter.com/DaveStewart) a photograph he took with the Wonder Girls and revealed a demo of their single "Always Without Me", which will be included in the group's debut album.

"Dave Stewart will be participating on the Wonder Girls' debut album in the U.S., which will be released early next year," an official at agency JYP Entertainment was quoted as saying. "'Always Without Me' is one of the three songs that he produced for Wonder Girls."

The official quoted the members of the girl band saying that they were honored and excited to work with such a famous producer.

Stewart, an English musician, is best known as the member and producer of popular 1980s band Eurythmics. Some of his well-known hits are "Sweet Dreams(Are Made of This)", "Here Comes the Rain Again" and "Would I Lie to You?" He also produced albums for other successful artists, such as Aretha Franklin's "Whos Zoomin' Who" and Tom Petty's "Southern Accents".

Wonder Girls, who debuted in Korea in 2007, is one of the most successful pop groups in Korea with three consecutive No. 1 singles, "Tell Me", "So Hot", and "Nobody". In October, the group's U.S. debut single "Nobody" entered the Billboard Hot100 at No. 76, making them the first Korean artists to be placed on the chart in its 115-year history.

They recently wrapped up a concert in China and are scheduled to appear on popular U.S. dance show "So You Think You Can Dance" on December 9.

[News] Shin Seung Hyun said "DBSK/THSK/TVXQ Can't Disband"

"TVXQ can't disband..."

Old-timer Shin Seung Hyun (singer) expressed his regrets towards the crisis of disbandment that his juniors TVXQ are currently facing.

At a recent press conference, after expressing his curiousity regarding "what will become of TVXQ", Shin Seung Hyun sighed and said, "A group like this can't disband...".

Shin Seung Hyun, who also enjoys tremendous popularity in Japan, said this about TVXQ who have developed into top singers, "When they appeared on the billboards in Tokyo, I felt such pride. In Japan, TVXQ are not Hallyu stars. Instead, they are the top singers in Japan, and receive a lot of love from everyone."

He also said, "It is very rare to have this kind of group, it would be such a waste if they disband."

[News] IRIS served with plagiarism suit

KBS’s hit spy drama IRIS has found itself entangled in plagiarism charges. On December 7, novelistPark Chul-joo filed a suit with Seoul Central District Court accusing the drama’s production company of ripping off his spy novel The Sun Doesn’t Rise on Mt. Fuji.

In his complaint, writer Park asserted that the drama takes the story, situations, and developments from his own book: “The drama IRIS heavily plagiarized my novel in over 162 instances. I have suffered severe mental distress, and I’ve also suffered financial losses, as I have had to give up the chance to produce the book as my own drama.” Included in the allegedly plagiarized points are: the threat of nuclear explosion in the middle of the city, the hero’s confrontation with the North Korean female spy, and the fact that the North Korean spy falls for the hero who treated her injuries.

According to Yonhap News, the production company refuted the claims, saying, “The plot may be similar, but it is not plagiarism.”

Often I think these plagiarism claims are cases of unfortunate coincidences — you can’t own an idea, after all. But these do sound like pretty specific points, although without having read the book, it’s hard to say…

[Info] Countdown on Stardoll was wrong

(Visited the site @ 11:42 PM December 6)

So a lot of you were wondering why they said December 8, 2009 @ 3 PST but on Stardoll.com the countdown was counting down for tomorrow, well it was a mistake by Stardoll.com NOT a typo by JYP on wondergirlsworld.com.

They re-updated it and switched the countdown clock to the real date of the live webchat which is December 8, 2009 @ 3PM.

Looks like we still have 2 more days to go (sadly).
