The Wonder Girls are back on Billboard.com but this time in a whole different way.
A photo of Wonder Girls at the Milly by Michelle Fall Fashion Show on February 17th at New York Fashion Week was chosen as on of the photos of the week at Billboard’s POTW Feb. 19: Fashion Week Special. This edition of Photos of the Week is special for featuring double the photos of past editions of POTW.
Billboard:
“Chris Brown, Pete Wentz, Faith Hill and more of music’s most stylish stars hit the catwalks at New York Fashion Week, while Justin Timberlake, Ke$ha, Adam Lambert, Estelle, and dozens more famous faces took in the action from the front rows (and the after parties). Check out tons of pics from Bryant Park and see more of the week’s best shots in this special, double-stacked edition of Photos of the Week.”

[News] 2NE1's CL talks about her controversial SBS Gayo Daejun outfit



Leader of 2NE1, CL is infamous for her outlandish clothes and style. Some would even say she’s the Korean version of Lady Gaga, that is, in terms of style. On a recently aired episode of KBS 2TV’s Entertainment Tonight, this princess of hip hop revealed her thoughts on her past outfits and costumes, including the controversy behind the black spandex outfit she wore at the 2009 SBS Gayo Daejun that revealed both her stomach and the tops of her bra.

On the show, CL commented, “The outfit was not that revealing. However, it was a bit unconventional and rebellious. I like clothes that are unconventional rather than those that expose a lot.” Although this statement will certainly raise eyebrows, CL has finally given her side on this controversy.

In addition to CL’s comment, fellow member Dara stated, “With the new year, I become one more year older and more tired.” Dara, you never fail to make the atmosphere more lighthearted.

[News] DBSK/THSK/TVXQ Vivi Magazine interview


-With the songs I think everyone grew too. If you can tell us “as a man” how you guys think of yourselves. If you can start with your good point and bad point.

Jaejong: My good thing? Good thing… umm how I don’t think that I’m the most important. I’m not those type. I’m constantly thinking about someone else. That’s why I cant reject people. I don’t want to hurt the other person so I tend to accept anything. The blood type O people seem to be like that. This is a secret but I get really stressed. I hold it in and hold it in and then I explode! saying “I was holding it in the whole time!” *laughs* that’s why people say I’m scary when I get mad.

Yoochun: My good thing is that I have a warm heart *laughs*. My bad thing is that lately I don’t want to get out of my house. I kind of got bored of going out.

Junsu: I don’t have a good thing. *laughs* Well I don’t notice it myself. What people say about me is that I’m decisive. and I’m usually a positive person. My bad thing is …. I don’t have any *laughs* that’s a lie. I have a lot. The most is that I hate to lose even if it’s something small. I’ll never accept that I lost. But lately I grew up and I don’t get as mad but as a guy it’s not a bad thing not to want to lose right!?

Yunho: Once I get into something I really concentrate on that. and I’ll never give up until I achieve it. I think I’m a passionate person. I tend to not be able to see anything but that though. Even if everyone’s calling me. most of the time i cant hear it. Overall i guess i have a manly personality and… I don’t know. So I don’t understand how girl are feeling a lot *embarrassed* . I think I’m romantic in my very own way but girls are hard..

Changmin: I don’t know if i should say it myself but including the bad parts about myself I like myself. I’m a complete blood type B and is short tempered but because I have this side in me I think that it brings out my good side. I’m usually quiet and shy person but once we become really close I talk a lot and can have a lot of fun. I think my type is that with a small group pf people I get to know them deeply taking time. Overall it means that everything except my bad part s all good. Although of course that’s a joke *laughs*

- Okay now what kind of guys are you when it comes to love?

Yunho: I’m the type who completely gets into it and cant see anything around me! … but I haven’t had a lot of relationships so I don’t really know.

Yoochun: I used to be like that too. Someone who falls completely into them. Once I like someone I always thought “it’s her for sure!” but now I can listen to what people around me tell me since falling completely into them didn’t work out.

Junsu: I’m both. I have experienced both falling deeply into her and being really calm. My surroundings really effect how I can have a relationship so I really don’t know how its going to change. But if I can want to not think about it too much and be natural.

Changmin: For me the only time I couldn’t see anything around me was only my first love. After that I’m calm. At least not so into her to the point it effects my work. Only my first love was um… I was crazed about falling in love *laughs bitterly*

Jaejoong: I think I’m different depending on that person. If that person is aggressive maybe I’ll be become aggressive too. But if not I think I’ll become more simple. But any type of girl I’ll protect her no matter what. That’s why I work out to become strong *laughs* In Japan right now grazing boys (non-aggressive boys) are popular but I think guys should be able to protect the girl so i want to be a carnivorous boy (aggressive boys).

- What about everyone else? How would you protect a girl?

Changmin: If it’s during our date and we got attacked if that was the situation then I’ll put my girlfriend in a taxi first and let her go. Then even if I run away desperately she won’t see me *laughs*

Junsu: I would carry my girlfriend and run!! I’m fast at running so I have the confidence to be able to run away!!

Yoochun: If I had to think really realistic I would have my girlfriend call my manager and while she’s calling I’ll fight and try to make time. I used to do Taekwondo so I think I can stop it for a little while.

Yunho: I used to do Aikido so I”d fight too. Oh but maybe its not good to fight as an artist huh. Well it’s bodyguard! yeah bodyguard. The most important thing is my girlfriend’s feelings and safety!

- You guys are all so reliable! At last what kind of guy do you want to be?

Yunho: I say this a lot but who I look up to the most is my father. Like my father I want to be able to give many people courage. That’s why I’m doing volunteer work right now. But out of all my dreams this is the most important.

Changmin: I want to be a guy who can make a warm family. In order to achieve that I need more that love. To be realistic I need to be strong and have money.

Jaejoong: I want to be a young dad. *shy* I want to drop/pick my child from school. But the world is full with danger so I’m scared to to be a girls dad, so I want a boy.

Yoochun: I want to be a man with confidence. It seems like someone with confidence knows what they need to do at that time.

Junsu: Same with me. I want to have confidence towards everything. And hopefully if I can be able to continue singing.

[News] Onew and Jonghyun Apologize for Not Knowing How to do the Laundry



Onew and Jonghyun on February 24th's broadcast of KBS JOY "SHINee's Hello Baby" keep their son Yoogeuni's health leading health and cleanliness to be shared between two teams. Responsible for cleanliness Onew and Jonghyun hand wash with gloves Yoogeuni's laundry despite the extremely cold weather outside.

Onew and Jonghyun seemed to start off doing the laundry skillfully combining all of Yoogeuni?s blanket and clothes with detergent in a basin, though it was said that this was the first time seeing such poor regulation of detergent in washing a blanket. After finishing the laundry, Onew and Jonghyun who were aware of this truth ended up apologizing for themselves.

With the laundry complete Onew and Jonghyun join Yoogeuni waiting for the rest of the members to receive immunization, spending a tedious amount of time to appease the "Baby House" mascot who vandalized the "SHINee Wall Panel". The members returning home from the hospital are furious at the graffiti, Minho eventually grabs the team leader Onew's neck to explain what has happened.

Though Minho's neck-grabbing was not serious, the graffiti on their photographs made them seek revenge, the situation ended up vandalizing each other's photographs with more graffiti from one graffiti piece turning a serious situation into a sea of laughter.

The episode will broadcast on February 24th at 12:10 AM.

[News](New York’s Hit Music Station) Adds DBSK/TVXQ/Tohoshinki Artist Page to Their Site


We previously reported that Z100, New York’s popular FM radio, introduced “BREAK OUT!” last February 18th through the morning show “Elvis Duran & the Morning Zoo.”

Now, they even added a Tohoshinki artist page to their site! It still looks empty, but they have filled in the Biography and Discography section (incomplete).

Biography
QUOTE

Formed by SM Entertainment in Korea as a standard boy band of sorts, Tong Vfang Xien Qi (also known as Dong Bang Shin Ki and Tohoshinki, depending on which country one is from) quickly became a leading front in the “Hallyu” Korean wave of entertainment across Asia, akin to the Latin wave of the late ’90s in the U.S. The group was assembled in a Menudo-esque manner, with the similar intent of rotating members out when they became less popular or photogenic. After massive backlash by fans, the group was left alone. Luckily for the record label, the band also became one of the biggest acts in Asia. The band’s debut in Korea, Hug, proved to be just the type of bubblegum pop hungrily devoured by the fans.

After a successful full-length debut in Tri-Angle and a strong follow-up with 2005’s Rising Sun, the band embarked on an Asian touring and media blitz, picking up fans along the way, despite singing primarily in Korean and English. After a third Korean album and a series of scandals, the band focused on the Japanese market, releasing tracks in Japanese (learning the language as they went) and scoring hits with a full Japanese album (Five in the Black) and a series of concerts that included the massive Budokan. While developing beyond bubblegum into still mainstream but more mature pop and a cappella vocalists, the band released numerous albums across three countries throughout 2006 and 2007. Further touring throughout Asia (including a memorable concert during a typhoon in Taiwan) led to more Japanese success, culminating in the number two slot debut on the Oricon charts for the album T in 2008 (preceding singles also marked the first time non-Japanese artists grabbed the number one Oricon position). ~ Adam Greenberg, All Music Guide
