[News]Rain Express His Feelings Regarding Bbaek Ga's Condition


Actor and singer Rain (real name: Jung Jee-hoon, 27) expressed his concerned feelings regarding his close friend Bbaek-ga (real name: Baek Sung-hyun, 28) who has been suffering from a brain tumor, saying, “Bbaek-ga is a strong person and will overcome.”

In a recent interview, Rain remarked about Bbaek-ga’s fight against the disease. Rain said, “Since I met him when I was 15 years old, we danced together, and our relationship has been strong with trust for each other. These are not just comforting words. He will be fine just as before, because he is strong.”


Bbaek-ga was diagnosed with a brain tumor during his service as a public servant at the Seoul Central District Court. He has been scheduled for tumor removal surgery on Jan. 22, 2010 at a general hospital located in Kangnam, Seoul.

A spokesperson for Bbaek-ga reported, "The size of the tumor is large, but fortunately it is not a malignant tumor. However, according to medical staff, the surgery will not be easy because it is in the cerebral meninges and the disease can come back."

The spokesperson added, "Bbaek-ga is receiving additional tests now before surgery, and he is being careful to think about positive thoughts. Meanwhile, Bbaek-ga left the message on his personal Cyworld homepage, ‘My homepage was hacked by pornographic site ads after the news about my sickness and I did not want to deal with it,’ and he closed it.”

http://kpoprants.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/003-1.jpg?w=378&h=515

T7: There seems to be a lot of idol groups lately. What do you think BEAST’s specialty is, if you even have one?
B: Personality perhaps? I think all six of us have distinct characteristics.

T7: How does it feel having a nicname “Pet Idols”?
B: Honestly, I think they started calling us Pet Idols because of Yoseobie. Even for us, he looks cute just by looking at him. Just like a pet, you want to keep him by your side. Although the rest of the members’ individual characters have not been revealed as of yet, we hope to have a distinct nicname ,like Yoseobie’s, one day.

T7: Who do you consider your role model?
B: Shinhwa and GOD seniors. We look up to Shinhwa seniors’ unique singing and performing abilities. And as you well know, GOD members were well known for being loved by the masses;thus, we aspire to be like them.

T7: Not too long ago, you guys held your very first fan signing event, how did it feel to meet your fans face to face?
B: I was really shocked to see such great attendance. Although our time very was short, the fact that we were able to meet them upfront made us very ecstatic.

T7: Were there any fans that you remember, that stood out?
B: There was a fan that brought us a whole chicken. She brought it to our first fan signing event. She also appeared for the 2nd meeting. Alas, she brought us another one. This time two. We used them to make baeksook and ate it.

T7: This past December 12, heard BEAST members were nominated for “Rookie Music Award”. I know it has great meaning particularly among new idol groups. Tell us your future activities and aspirations?
B: First, we’re very thankful. Without ever losing our intention of wanting to be the best, BEAST will like to be known for continually trying our best in everything that we do. So please stay tuned.

Newsway announcer/reporter Jung Soo Ryang stated, "TVXQ was able to reap such earning regardless of the fact that they are in such unfavorable conditions with the legal dispute," and "If their had been no legal dispute, they would have earned much more than this amount."

She also added, "If TVXQ, who has evolved from just a domestic star to a Hallyu star of Asia, cannot overcome these unfortunate conditions and disband, not only will this be a huge loss to our country's entertainment industry, it will also be a loss at a nationwide scale," and "I hope to see TVXQ come to a reasonable agreement with their agency and return to the stage in good spirits."

ENEWS' 'Blackbox' airs every Wednesday and brings experts of many fields to the panel to discuss controversial events of the entertainment industry.

In the new year, SS501 will visit Thailand as part of their Asia Tour stop in January.

Even though Kim HyunJoong acted in romantic scenes with his unique sensitive acting which captured many females’ heart, he displays powerful masculine attractiveness and quintessence metro-sexual in SS501 performances.

Kim HyunJoong also generated the first syndrome this year in Korea with ‘Boys Over Flowers’, receiving the name of ‘Nation’s Sunbae’ and recognition rises rapidly, constantly involved in various fashion shows, dinner shows as well as large-scale and small-scale events.
