[News] Lee Jun Ki signs with new agency


Hallyu star Lee Jun-ki has signed with JG Company INC., a newly-established independent talenthouse which will solely manage Lee's career.

"His contract with Mentor Entertainment ended late January and has now decided to join our company," stated a representative from JG on Friday. 

JG will follow Hollywood's one-man management system where an agency focuses its efforts on a single celebrity -- from tending to his schedule to his promotional work to his legal issues.

Lee, 27, has been one of the most popular stars in the Asian region since starring in the 2005 hit film "The King and the Clown." 

He has also appeared in several dramas including "Iljimae" and the recent MBC TV series "Hero" where he played the role of a passionate magazine reporter. He won the People's Choice Popularity award at MBC's acting awards last year.

[News] Dongho's Surprise Confession About Yang Yoseob, "Yang Yoseob Stole My Cute Image"



"BEAST's Yang Yoseob Stole My Cute Image and I am Bothered" Dongho's Surprise Confession

[Newsen's Reporter Lee Eunhyuk]

UKISS's Dongho blames BEAST's Yang Yoseob as the idol that bothers him.

Dongho brags about his witty volubility when he appeared on the recording of the recent KBS 2TV 'Star Golden Bell'.

On this recording day, Dongho confessed, saying "When I heard that a group called BEAST was debuting, I looked up their ages. But, they were coming-of-age adults who were 20 years old" and "Because I thought there would be no one who would steal my cute image, I wasn't worried."

After, Dongho said, "But, when 22 year old Yang Yoseob hyung pretended to act cute, stealing my seat away, I was bothered" and he burst out laughing.

Also, in an on-the-spot contest of making cute expressions, Dongho was pushed away by his hyung, Yang Yoseob, and he got a taste of humiliation.

Broadcast on February 20 at 5:15 PM

[Video] KARA refused to show too much Choreography of "Lupin"!

I am expecting to see more from this video but i am a bit disappointed as the girls refused to show the steps on Lupin.

But i have to say that Gyuri and Ji Young are really good in teasing,they wanted to dance the steps out so much but still wanna give us some surprise,so they just stopped themselves from showing too much.

Anyway,like the Shh part of the song,watch the video here to see how good the girls teased!

[news] Fans snap up Super Junior albums in anticipation of concert


By JONATHAN M. HICAP
February 19, 2010, 6:53pm

K-pop boy band Super Junior proved their growing popularity in the Philippines with their “Super Show 2” live album, which topped the country's international album chart.

According to the record label that released Super Junior's album in the country, "Super Show 2" is No. 1 on the Astrovision and Astroplus international album chart for the period Feb. 8 to 14. The two retail chains have about 30 outlets in the country.

The “Super Show 2” album contains 39 tracks recorded live from Super Junior’s concert tours of the same title.

This is the third time that Super Junior’s album has topped album sales in the Philippines.

Many surmise that the brisk sales of Super Junior's albums is somehow connected to the boy band’s upcoming concert in the Philippines slated on April 10 at the Araneta Coliseum.

Super Junior's “Sorry, Sorry” album debuted at No. 1 on the Music One album chart three days after it was released last September, becoming the first K-pop artist to top the local music charts.

In addition, Super Junior’s “Sorry, Sorry-Answer” has topped the MYX music charts.

The single is No. 1 on the MYX Hit Chart covering the period Feb. 14-20, edging out releases by Adam Lambert, Tokio Hotel and Kris Allen.

It also topped the MYX International Top 20 for the period Feb. 13-19.

The “Sorry, Sorry” album was the No. 1 bestselling K-pop album in the Philippines last year.

It was included in Music One’s top 25 bestselling albums of the year based on sales from three outlets from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2009. It was the only K-pop album to enter the top 25 list.

As an offshoot, “Super Girl,” the album of the boy band’s subgroup, Super Junior-M, also topped the sales chart of both Music One and Odyssey Records when it was released last November.

[picture] 2AM for Vogue Girl Magazine February Issue






2am is turning it up a bit with a more casual london school boy and gentlemen look. Just after a month after their comeback, they have won their first mutizen, guest starred in a lot of variety shows, guested on several radio shows, MC-ed for music shows, endorsed clothing lines and covers for magazines!

They have certainly been busy~



They look cute dont they? especially with the school boy look, they look so much younger and childish in a good way.


What do you think? Hot or not?
