[NEWS] Fans cry, SJ to arrive in Taiwan on 19th!

For Super Junior's first concert in Taipei, Super Show 2, at the Taipei Arena, the organizers, Super Dome, has confirmed with the Korean side and made an official announcement that only 10 members will be going. Hangeng, Kangin, and Kibum are confirmed to be absent. As soon as the news was released yesterday, fans on PPT's website flocked together howling in grief and wanting to cry. They were heart-broken as Hangeng will not be able to realize his agreement to come to Taiwan to celebrate his birthday.

With the February 20th and 21st performance by SJ, at the Taipei Arena, on the horizon, Super Dome confirmed the performing members with South Korea and made an official announcement about the reply on their website. Even though he participated in the original tour and had fans strongly hoping for his appearance, Hangeng is determined not to go to Taiwan. Though the three members did not attend the previous Beijing concert, thus preparing the fans, they were still extremely sad as when Hangeng visited last year, he had promised to go to Taiwan in February to celebrate together with the fans. It was unexpected that the promise will be unable to be fulfilled leading to fans "crying" and "collapsing."

Fans excited about SJ's visit have even stated that after receiving their New Year's money (Chinese New Year) they will head straight for the airport. Taking fan's security into considering, Super Dome is keeping the flight information of SJ to Taiwan a secret. Right now, they have only revealed that they will be arriving on the 19th and the exact flight will be announced closer to the date.

[NEWS] Family Outing's New mascot...Yoona!!


Kwak SY PD of "Family Outing season 2" (FO2) spoke highly of idol triple SNSD's Yoona, Taecyeon of 2PM and Jokwon of 2AM.

SBS's Lovely Sunday Family Outing 2, which will air on Feb 21st, has been receiving media attention since the beginning of casting stage.

Such attention is from the fact that Yoona, Taecyeon and JoKwon, who are not only popular in the music world but also the entertainment world, will all gather on the same show. The FO2 production team, having completed the first recording and currently under editing, expressed their satisfaction with the activities of the threesome.

Kwak SY PD of FO2 said, "having completed the first shooting, I feel the fame of being the front runners of domestic idol groups is not something they receive out of nothing. From the shooting process, I felt that they are persistent, strong and very smart."

He continued to add, "In the entertainment world, the timing to understand the flow of shooting must be recognized and such skill is not easy to attain. However, they had quite a sense in that area."

He also appreciated the idol threesome saying, "JoKwon is traditionally known in the existing entertainment area but revealed something different when he took the shooting with members of less-idol feeling. As the PD, I even feel curious of what characters Yoona and Taecyeon will turn out to be."

2PM TaecYeon and So Nyeo Shi Dae Yoona talk about their scandal.

The both of them were on SBS Strong Heart aired on 9th February. Kang Ho Dong then asked TaecYeon, “Have you heard about the talk of the town?” and TaecYeon answered “No. I don’t know about it.”

MC Kang then asked, “There are rumours that you and YoonA are a thing.” TaecYeon seemed a little flustered then continued, “Yes, I heard about that. That I am close with YoonA.”

Kang Ho Dong joked, “But do take note of how you put your words across on broadcast even though there are saying that the 2 of you are close.” He was playing on the fact that TaecYeon addressed with ‘YoonA’ instead of ‘YoonA ssi’.

The 2 were then asked, “Have you heard about rumours of you 2 as a thing?”, TaecYeon replied “Yes” and Yoon replied, “Yes, I know about that.”

Lee SeungGi who normally had proclaimed YoonA as his ideal type said, “Tiffany is close to our YoonA ssi” which was caught by Kim YeongChul who said, “Did you say ‘our YoonA’?” which had everyone breaking in laughter.

Tiffany then clarifies the TaecYeon-YoonA scandal, “Isn’t this because of me?”

Tiffany had previously revealed on Strong Heart on an incident when TaecYeon, YoonA and herself were having a meal together. Tiffany added, “Honestly I didnt’ know that it would be misinterpreted.”

2PM JunHo who was also present said, “TaecYeon heard all these rumours and felt unfair about it, saying “It is really not like that”. But I don’t know about it.”

After that, Kang Ho Dong asked YoonA to “Choose between Lee SeungGi and Ok TaecYeon in terms of looks, and not on popularity.”

YoonA replied, “The other members can also get this right. In terms of looks, it has be to Lee Seung Gi.” Lee SeungGi then let out a very happy expression and smile.

YoonA added, “I prefer caring and soft image guy instead of strong image guy.”

[NEWS] Sunye' Meaningful Message



Sunye's original message above

Jacob cried as he wrestled with the angel on the river Jabbok.

The bible said “the Lord God Almighty,he Lord is his name of renown!” (Hosea 12:5). Hanna prayed whilst she cried, and Moses spent 40 years in the prairie.
Peter shed tears when the rooster crowed, and Mary cried after witnessing the death of her son Jesus.

When Lazarus died, Jesus cried also. Max Lucado described this scene in a
short but impactful manner. “Jesus is shedding tears. He sobs while sitting between Mary and Martha with his arms around them". The phrase in the verse, “arms around them” touched me deeply.

Despite the fact that Jesus knew Lazarus would reincarnate, he shed tears.

Because Jesus cried, it is okay for us to cry in times of trouble. It’s okay to cry in times of trouble. But always remember not to cry like a person without hope.

The bible said “Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like rest of men, who have no hope” (1 Thessalonians 4:13)

People who do not hope are saddened because they do not have hope. But the Bible is clearly testifying for us. “For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently” (Romans 8:24-25)

We looked up to hope with our faith, and with faith, we earned salvation.We all possess a kind of hope that our naked eye cannot see. What we can see with our eyes is not hope. Therefore, those who keep hoping are waiting for what they cannot witness, and for this, we need patience.

Jesus Christ never told us we had to succeed, but to endure.

If we translate “but he who stands firm to the end will be saved" (Matthew 24:13)
in a more direct approach,it can translate into “when you hold on till the end” or “when you endure”. If we do so, Jesus Christ will guide us to the house of hope.

Min dot family..i give you my blessings and love..i give my love to you just as jesus christ had.. can you feel my sincerity ? All i can do is to pray..for everyone ^^



Sunye is totally a leader after all. With all the pressures, she knows how to be strong. Her message expresses her feelings towards her loved ones including the fans.. With her strong faith we know she can carry everything well.

[NEWS] 4minute ended Philippine promotion successfully


MANILA ― K-pop girl group 4Minute ended their first Philippine tour Sunday after promoting their first mini-album, "For Muzik," in the Southeast Asian nation where K-pop is gaining popularity.

In Manila, 4Minute held shows in shopping malls, had autograph signing events for fans, and appeared on TV variety programs from February 5 to 7.

"For Muzik" contains the hit songs ""Hot Issue", "Muzik" and "What a Girl Wants" and was released in the Philippines on CD-DVD format.

The members of the idol group ― Hyun-ah, Ji-hyun, Ji-yoon, So-hyun and Ga-yoon ― met the Philippine press on February 5.

However, besides arriving an hour late for the press conference, the girls were barred by the organizer of the event from answering personal questions, particularly regarding Hyun-ah and her past association with K-pop girl band the Wonder Girls.

Hyun-ah was an original member of the Wonder Girls but had to quit the group just six months after they debuted in 2007 due to her deteriorating health.

On January 22, JYP Entertainment announced that Sun-mi, another member of the Wonder Girls, was quitting the group to resume her studies in South Korea.

With Hyun-ah and Sun-mi experiencing similar misfortunes with the Wonder Girls, The Korea Times asked Hyun-ah if she would consider going back to the Wonder Girls if Park Jin-Young, owner of JYP Entertainment, asked her to.

However, even before the interpreter could translate the question, a staff member for the organizer stopped her from answering the question.

The press also failed to get Hyun-ah's reaction on Sun-mi's decision to quit, when the organizer again prohibited her from responding.

The questions 4Minute members did answer were mainly about their diet and lifestyle.

Answering a question from The Korea Times on their health, 4Minute admitted that they are on a special diet to maintain their sexy image as K-pop idols.

But they said they were having a hard time controlling their diet in Manila since they love the food.

When asked about their friends outside the group, 4Minute said they are close to the members of K-pop groups BEAST and f(x).

4Minute and BEAST are managed by Cube Entertainment, an affiliate of JYP Entertainment.

4Minute debuted in Korea last June with the digital single "Hot Issue" which became a hit and earned the group two Rookie of the Month music awards. "For Muzik" was released in Korea last August.

They received the Golden Disk Newcomer Award alongside girl group T-ara last December.

This year, 4Minute won the Newcomer Award at the 16th Korea Entertainment Arts Awards and the Popular Artist Award at the 2010 Asia Model Awards.

Hyun-ah is currently appearing on the TV variety show "Invincible Youth" (a.k.a. "Incredible Youth").

[NEWS] BEAST likes their fanmade Nicknames

용준형은 UFO라디오에서 자신의 이름에 얽힌 사연을 밝혔다. 특이한 성 때문에 처음 보는 사람에게 자신의 이름을 소개하면 다들  '용준형'이 아닌 '용준이 형'으로 오해한다고 밝혔다.

용 준형은 "심지어 신입 비스트 팬들까지도 팬 카페에서 '왜 '용준 오빠'가 아닌 '용준 형'이라고 부르냐고 의아해 하는 것을 봤다"며 "이름 때문에 졸지에 준형이에서 ‘욘사마’ 용준이 되었다"고 말했다. 용준형은 “최근에는 일부러 애칭으로 '용준이형'이라고 부르는 팬들도 생기고 있다”고 덧붙였다.

또 한 비스트 손동운은 팬들에게 '손아랍'이라고 불리고 있다며, 자신의 서구적인 외모 때문에 이런 별명이 붙은 것 같다고 말했다. 손동운은 “어릴 때 는 혼혈이냐, 한국사람 맞냐는 얘기도 많이 들었지만 지금은 긍정적으로 받아들이고 있다”고 전하며, “그냥 아랍인이 아닌 아랍왕자로 불러져 기분이 좋다”고 밝혔다.

2PM 멤버로 합류 할 뻔 했던 윤두준은 리얼 다큐만 2번 찍은 사연을 공개했다. 비스트로 데뷔하기 전 윤두준은 2PM과 2AM 멤버들이 출연했던 '열혈남아'에, 장현승은 빅뱅의 데뷔 전 모습을 담은 '빅뱅' 프로그램에 출연했기 때문. 윤두준은 당시 장현승이 나온 프로그램을 보고 ‘나도 멋있는 가수가 되어 꿈을 이루고 싶다’라는 생각을 했다며, ‘장현승과 같은 그룹이 되어 신기하다’는 말을 남겼다.

이 밖에도 장현승은 여가 시간에는 숙소에서 비스트 팬사이트, 갤러리, 게시판을 돌면서 눈팅을 하며 팬들의 동태를 살피고 팬과의 관계를 돈독하게 하고 있다고 고백했다.

비 스트로 데뷔 전 AJ라는 이름으로 방송활동을 했던 이기광은 최근 시트콤 '지붕뚫고 하이킥'의 세호 역할까지 맞게 되어 AJ, 기광, 세호 모두 동일 인물이라는 것을 팬들에게 밝혔고, 동안으로 인해 종종 막내로 오해받는 양요섭은 자신보다 두 살 어린 진짜 막내인 손동운에게 미안한 마음을 전했다.

BEAST, the fan's nicknames make them happy

Yong Junhyung explained their names on UFO radio. At first, those who see his name see 'Yong Junhyung' but some mistake it for 'Yongjun hyung.'

Yong Junhyung said, "Even new BEAST fans in the café ask why it’s ‘Yongjun hyung’ instead of ‘Yongjun oppa .’ My name Junhyung has turned into 'Yon Sama' and Yongjun.

“Some fans are calling me ‘Yongjun hyung’ on purpose now,” he added.

Another Beast member Son Dong Woon is called ‘Son Arab’ by fans because of his appearance.

Son Dong Woon said, "When I was younger, a lot of people asked me if I was a mixed race, if I was really Korean, but now I think positively.

“And being called not just an Arab but an Arabian prince makes me feel good,” he revealed.

Yoon Doojoon, who almost was a member of 2PM, revealed his experience of being on 2 real documentaries. Before BEAST debut, Yoon Doo Joon and the members of 2PM and 2AM appeared in ‘Hot Blood,’ and Hyunseung was in the show ‘Big Bang’ before Big Bang’s debut. Yoon Doo Joon watched Jang Hyunseung at the time and thought, 'I want to fulfill my dream of becoming a wonderful singer,’ and now he says, “I’m amazed I’m in the same group as Hyunseung.”

In addition Hyunseung said in his spare time he goes to BEAST fan sites, galleries, and boards, wanting to strengthen the relationship between fans.
BEAST member Lee Kikwang, formerly AJ, is on a sitcom 'High Kick Through the Roof' as the role of Saeho. He reminded fans that AJ, Kikwang, and Saeho are all the same person. And Yang Yoseob, who is commonly mistaken to be the youngest in the group because of his young face, expressed his sorry heart to Son Dongwoon, who is actually two years younger.
