[News] DBSK/THSK/TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho Visits Grandmother In Hospital


TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho is garnering attention for visiting the JangsungHyo Love Hospital in Jeolla Province during the afternoon of the 6th to give his greetings for the New Year.

U-Know Yunho was there to visit his grandmother at the hospital as soon as he returned from his activities in Japan.

U-Know Yunho, who went to visit his grandmother at the hospital despite his busy schedule, gave the elderly at the hospital rice cakes and drinks and is said to have had a great time with them.

The reason that U-Know Yunho’s visit is in the spotlight is because not many family members visit patients due to the nature of the long-term hospital so he is being seen as a role model for his visit there.

On the other hand, TVXQ, in which U-Know Yunho is a member, ranked as the most searched artiste at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen 2009 and solidified their popularity overseas as well as in Korea.

From Backdancer To Dancing Singer (U-Know Yunho)


The walls of Kpop are crumbling down. Comedians and actors are putting out albums and singers in reverse are entering the fields of acting and comedy as well. This is why many new terms such as Gaegaman (Gaegeuman “Comedian)+Gasoo (singer)” and Telgamen “Telunteu(Actor)+Gasoo(singer)”.

No longer do only comedians make people laugh or only singers sing. Reality has made being good in only one field no longer useful in the competitive industry. Kpop has evolved and changed so much that the joking comment that “If you’re good at singing, go be a singer” can no longer be used meaningfully.

How people become singers is also changing as well. There are many cases where people become singers because they are good at singing, but there is an increasing number of people who become singers after being backdancers who stood behind other singers and let them shine. In today’s industry, we are seeing them stepping up to the spotlight. They are stars who have gone from supporting actors to leads.

(omitted)

U-Know Yunho, part of Asia’s hottest group TVXQ, first became known by performing as Dana’s rapper and backdancer in her solo album. Dana is currently part of TSZX the Grace but was performing as a high-school singer before TVXQ’s 2004 debut.

(omitted)

Singers who used to be backdancers succeed because of their determination and effort. Backdancers are said to stay up for an entire week making choreography for a singer and make singers shine even when it gets them small injuries and bruises.

The backdancer who came up with Jewelry’s E.T. dance said, “The reason they were able to succeed as singers was because of their cow-like determination, ceaseless hard work and diligent rehearsals.”

[News] Modern Mozart Make-up, It Fits Park Gun Hyung And DBSK's/THSK/TVXQ Kim Junsu Well


“I want to hear ‘Your work for the musical Mozart! was good.’”

Musicals ‘Phantom of the Opera’, ‘Empress Myeongseong’, ‘Hairspray’ and ‘Chicago’. What is the similarity between these unique musicals? Extravagance. And that extravagance existed because of make-up artist Kim Yoo Sun.

“I prefer musicals because they are more extravagant and larger in scale than plays,” says Kim Yoo Sun and he has been put in charge of make-up for the musical [Mozart!] that is “a position any make-up artist would envy.”

This was his first official interview so he was shy at first but he showed his unique love and pride for wigs throughout the interview. We met with the man who has lived since November buried in the 200 or so wigs that are to be used in Mozart!

“I fell in love with the music of Mozart!, and I’m confident.”

Although he has helped with musical productions for over 20 years, the scale of Mozart! is different from others as the 200 handmade wigs required for the production compare with the 100 imported wigs that needed repair in ‘Phantom of the Opera’ and the 80 handmade wigs in ‘Hairspray’. His words are not exaggerations when he says, “Wigs account for 95% of the job,” and that “This is the biggest amount of wigs I’ve worked with yet.”

However, make-up artist Kim Yoo Sun accepted this job with more confidence than stress from responsibility. He, who grew up with music close to his side since he was young, expressed what his feelings were when he was given the job offer and said, “I heard Mozart’s music, and I fell in love with the crossover of the genres of rock and classical,” and “A job this big of a scale requiring over 200 wigs is a job any make-up artist would envy.”

Modern Mozart make-up, it fits Park Gun Hyung and Kim Junsu well

The entire cast must wear wigs, each role has at least three and as many as seven. Each wig was duplicated three times. It can be inferred that the wig production of Mozart! is at least two to three times bigger than past jobs. It takes around a week to make each wig, and there are around 20 designers employed for wigs. They began making wigs after the casting of the cast was finished in November.

Since the head block (shape of the head) is different for each person, each member of the cast requires his or her own wig. This applies especially for the four Mozarts (Lim Tae Gyung, Park Eun Tae, Park Gun Hyung and Kim Junsu).

Like his explanation that “Mozart is the center of the spotlight visually in this musical,” Mozart enters the scene wearing jeans and sporting ‘drag hair’.

It would have been difficult to make a modern Mozart, but to him, who “Traveled to 30 countries for overseas shows and saw various cultures,” the blending of modern and past was not very hard. He was able to add a modern twist for all of the cast instead of just focusing on Mozart.

[News]G Dragon's Fans Protest To The Court

http://koreanindo.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/200910131041591001_1.jpg
Some 1,000 fans who saw Big Bang member G-Dragon’s concert filed a petition to the prosecution. G-Dragon is accused of showing sexually provocative scenes during his December concert. The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Family Affairs had requested the prosecutor’s office to investigate the matter to see whether the problematic scene had violated the lewd performance law.

G-Dragon’s fans who attended the concert argue in the petition that they did not feel that the performances were obscene and did not arouse any feelings of sexual humiliation. They also claimed that the artistry of the entire concert cannot be discounted just because a few sequences were considered problematic.

A source with the prosecution said that prosecutors are investigating the matter by looking at various materials collected from many different sources. As for the possibility of having G-Dragon summoned for questioning, he said that the idol star may be summoned, since it’s not that unusual to interview people involved in an allegation.

[News]YG Entertainment Moving to Own Company Building

YG Entertainment, which represents entertainers Se7en, Big Bang, and 2NE1, will move to a seven-story office building of its own in Hapjeong-dong Mapo-gu at the end of January.



YG Entertainment CEO and co-founder Yang Goon said, ”It has been 12 years since we established the agency. We would like to reestablish our determination by trying to remember when we first begin.”

Yang launched the business under the name of Yang Goon Production in the basement of a small building in Hapjeong-dong in 1997 after the breakup of Seo Tai-ji & Boys. YG’s upcoming move holds special meaning for Yang because he will be moving into an office building of his own after spending 12 years in a building with a monthly rent.

Yang said on the phone, “I, along with two other people, established YG in a small building in 1997. We have rented additional space in line with the growth of YG over the years. However, we had many difficulties because the office and the training room were in separate buildings. We will work harder to remember when we first started YG because now all of our singers and staff will be able to get together in the same place.”

Yang said they have plans to release new albums by Se7en, Big Bang, and 2NE1 once they finish the move. In addition, Yang said they have high expectations for the Japanese music scene since the group Big Bang took the “Best New Artist Award” at the 51st Japan Record Awards and at the 42nd Japan Yusen Awards last year.

However, Yang emphasized, “The construction of new buildings, including the training room and the recording studio, is aimed at developing unknown talented singers. Our biggest goal for this year is to discover and nurture beginners who are as talented as Big Bang’s G-Dragon and Tae Yang.”
