[NEWS] Nam Ji Hyeon and Song Joong Ki pair up for a date in Ceci Magazine


The two young actors are pairing up for a sweet date in the female clothing brand, PLASTIC ISLAND as models for the photoshoot in CeCi fashion magazine. Nam Ji Hyeon (from Will it snow for Christmas?) is the cute and lovable ‘dongsaeng’ (younger sister) image in the photoshoot. While Song Joong Ki (who currently played as the 2nd year resident in “OB/GYN Doctors”) seems very casual and natural in his look as a couple.

Not only it has sexy and glamorous look, the clothing brand PLASTIC ISLAND is sporty and edgy. What a cute pairing for cute images!

This brand is apparently not a local brand, as they’re available also in New York, LA, and Tokyo Japan.

[NEWS] Kim Ah Joong: ” Best Dresser? That’s Embarrassing.”!

If you’ve ever seen ‘200  Pound Beauty’ ( if you haven’t, I strongly recommend it. It’s a great movie ), then you’ll know who I mean when I mention Kim Ah Joong.

Beautiful, talented, and … Korea’s Red Carpet Award Show Goddess?


Not surprising, actually, but apparently to Kim Ah Joong, it’s a bit embarrassing?

Kim Ah Joong was recently invited by photographer Jo Sun Hee to be on the photo talk show called,’ Top Celebrity.’  Despite that Ah Joong kept saying she had,” slow reflexes,” as soon as they began talking, the interview went by like that, with lots of aegyo and quick wit from her too.

Recently, Kim Ah Joong is being referred to as the ‘Award Show Goddess’ for her stunning fashion sense and outfit choices on the red carpet.  She replied honestly that,” Even though the term,’best dresser,’ embarrasses me a little, I do admit I’m a pretty good dresser.”

She also said: ” It’s all thanks to my staff that I am able to receive the award of ‘Best Dresser’. ” and “Normally, I wear jeans, or leggings with big T-shirts, and all sorts of comfortable clothing, so I haven’t even bought a single one piece dress.”

It’s nice to hear that although stars are recognized for their beauty, many such as Kim Ah Joong, still prefer comfortable clothing over the glamorous outfits and gowns, right? Well, I think so. Tell us your thoughts!
This episode will be aired on March 4th @ 11 p.m.

[NEWS] Lee Hyori: Comeback Confessions!

‘Sexy Queen’ Lee Hyori gives a confession about her comeback!


For all Lee Hyori fans, including me, anticipation levels for her new album and comeback are high. But as fans, we can’t always understand how our stars feel during the whole process.

On March 3rd, through her fan-cafe,’ Hyori Together,’ Lee Hyori revealed her feelings and  gave updates on everything going on with the album, the preparations for her Comeback, and greeted her fans.

She said: “ I am also nervous and excited for my new album. 8 months of album recordings are finally done, and now that it is finished, I will do all that I can so that the album can be released quickly.
Besides the pressures and stress, Lee Hyori also shared that: ” Since I was trying my best, it took a lot more time than I thought. This album was probably the most difficult and tiring.”

But despite the negative feelings that may have come up during the process of making this album, Lee Hyori also shared how proud and confident she feels about this album, and also listened to the requests of her fans.

This time, I filled this album with all the types of music that I really like. Even though it was hard, it was an exciting and fun album to produce. I believe that everyone will also like this album as well.

On March 1st, Lee Hyori officially completed her album recordings, and is currently in preparation for her album release, and should be having her Comeback as a singer within a year and 6 months.

[NEWS] BEAST's Shocking Transformation of the Powerful Charismatic 'Shock' Buitek Dance is the Center of Attention

BEAST, who prepared their comeback, are being noticed by their powerful Buitek dance.

After the songs [were released] on March 1st, a music video was even revealed, and from their title song 'Shock,' BEAST, who introduced their shocking transformations, are capturing the attention of fans from the Buitek dance that is bursting with dynamic poses.

Although the word 'Buitek' is a medical word meaning 'ventricular fibrillation', as a term used by the younger generation on the internet, the meaning has gradually changed to mean a praise to a star regarding their amazing visual or performance that gave a shock, stopping the heart.

By their Buitek dance, BEAST is being noticed by their powerful shock, and the fans' cheers that are talking about their masculinity are calling it the Buitek dance or the shock dance.

The highlight of the unbelievable farewell of the title song 'Shock' is the pouring of the boys' heartbreaking feelings and their powerful voices that harmonizes with the beat. And especially with the feeling of entering the music video, you can experience a unique pose of the restrained movement where both hands are raised at the melody and pulled down in an instant from the top.

Fans who have seen this part said, "I think the shock of my heart stopping (Buitek) is coming" and "Whenever I watch that movement, I get a tightly pulled feeling." They are displaying the anticipation of their performances on stage.

With Beyonce and Omarion's choreographer, the worldwide choreography picked by Europe was newly revised for the 6 members by Korea's best choreographer, 'Hawoosin,' who took charge of the choreography and raised the overall quality [of the dance]. Also, as much as they have personally participated in the choreography work and showed exceptional ability, BEAST pulled a ligament as they practiced the prepared movements of the choreography, and to the point of delivering the news of not being able to walk because of their clumped thigh muscles, the intensity of their practices can be easily guessed.

While bursting with energy, they are gathering anticipation from the fact that the controlled choreography and unique movements prepared in the performances of the boys will be upgraded even further to attempt to differentiate themselves.

In the mean time, since the day of their release, when you see BEAST's song 'Shock' showing a steep upward trend in various music sites, it will stand out with a sudden rise, sweeping rankings on the real time charts.

Just a day after releasing their album sales, they are bringing up enthusiasm from their 1st place rankings of their online song sales on all sites.

[NEWS] The requirements of being the best Entertaining Idol and "JoKwon's Era"

The so-called 'traditional idols' who only appear on music programs and release albums are starting to slowly disappear.

As idols' activities gain a wider range, new types of idols started to appear. As characters like Gag-dol, Entertainer-dol, Beast-dol, Girl-dol, Elementary-dol, etc. set themselves into members of idol groups, it's not easy anymore to find variety programs without an idol on it. It isn't an exaggeration if one says that it is the entertaining idols' era.

The most idol between all the entertaining idols which catches the eye is 2AM's JoKwon. 2AM is a 4-member male ballad group created by JYP. The leader of this group, JoKwon, is gaining a lot of popularity by showing his identity as an "Universal Idol", showing his talents in singing, dancing, his talent in variety shows, and even MCing.

JoKwon's wits are truthfully the best among the idols these days. Wherever, whenever, if you ask him to do something, he presents with a big laugh with his unique talents. He also got a nickname, "Kkap Kwon" because he was said to do everything with "Kkae Bang Jung", or overdoing everything. "Kkap Kwon" JoKwon is breaking the stereotyped views on idols, becoming the most wanted celebrity on variety shows of 2010. When one usually thinks about an idol, they think right away of the proverb very pom-saeng-pom-sa (live for style, die for style- Korean proverb), but JoKwon approaches the public as a friendly image, far from the normal pom-saeng-pom-sa image of idols.

The program where JoKwon appeals to the public most is the variety show, MBC's "We Got Married". In here, JoKwon appears as a younger, cute husband who also is witty, paired up with Brown Eyed Girls' member, Gain, becoming a very cute, popular couple. They show their real, truthful selves, earning the suspicion of many that they were actually dating.

MBC's "Three Wheels" is a program that gives JoKwon the opportunity to show his true worth. This is a program where joom-marellas (ahjummas with style) pressure even the most experienced variety experts up to breaking point. JoKwon makes regular appearances here as the youngest, showing his excellent dancing skills that equaled the ones of a girl idol, his unique face expressions, and his appropriately timed ad-libs make him an excellent mood maker.

In the program JoKwon recently entered, SBS' "Family Outing Season 2", JoKwon was allowed to show yet more aspects of himself. Even though there was a fixed script, JoKwon quickly claimed his character as "Kkap Kwon" by doing Girls' Generation's "Gee" and Kim Yuna's "Dance of Death" in his unique style, causing big laughter from the audience. There is a lot of positive expectation for JoKwon's activity in "Family Outing 2", although it would be have to be observed more before the public voices their opinion. It is sure, however, that JoKwon will not be edited out often.

JoKwon was a highly anticipated auditionee who had went on the "Project Excavating Gifted Children" in 2001, a collaboration between JYP and SBS. JoKwon, then a 6th grader, showed an energetic performance of Lee Jung Hyun's "Wa", and then went through 8 years of being a trainee. He released 2AM's debut album "This Song" in 2008. He had pretty much spent all of his 10s in JYP. JYP is famous for their strict management system, even managing the trainee/celebrity's school life if the trainee/celebrity was a student. The fact that JoKwon has such a free character, even after the 8 years of being trainee, is a situation uncalled of.

Also, it is dangerous for a ballad singer, who lives on their mood in their songs, to have an opposite character to their ballad songs. This is reasonable, since JYP even issued a ban on "Kkap" to JoKwon, only to undo it later. However, seeing the success of 2AM's new song "Even If I Die, I Can't Send You Away", it proves that JoKwon's varying images appealed well to the viewers.

The fact that singers have to go around on variety shows is definitely not an embraced fact. As long as our country's music world takes variety show appearances as not a choice, but a requirement, it will be like this. Above all this, JoKwon's activities shine because he genuinely enjoys the variety programs and also handles it very well. He grows as a willing(?) entertainer, rather than a forced, fake interest in variety just to become famous. This is because he has natural talent and also has the ability to sense what the taste of the public turns to.

When people see JoKwon singing an emotional ballad song, they check twice, unbelieving, if the singer was the same JoKwon that looked as if he'd lost his mind on shows. However, it is the truth that JoKwon's victories in variety shows had a significant part in raising 2AM's popularity, and let 2AM's songs be yet more loved.

"Kkap Kwon" JoKwon, created through the 8 years of growth and polishing abilities. When you see him reminiscing about his trainee years, saying, "There are barely any memories of being in my 10s', and I always had to live through the fear of being cut from JYP," you can see that the JoKwon that was doing the "Madam Imitation" that JYP so disliked wasn't all of JoKwon. If one listens to 2AM's songs only because of the interest piqued by JoKwon's variety wits, they can only be pleasantly surprised by his vocal skills and emotion he puts in the songs that rival his wittiness in variety. People have a lot of hope for this young man full of wits and passion to be a longlasting provider of joy towards the viewers who watch him.

[Info] Park Jaebum's Life!



Jaebum drank shikhye (TN – a sweet rice drink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhye) while his dongsaengs (Junsu Chansung Taecyeon Khun) drank beer on broadcast.


‘Six Pack’ Jaebum “In order to build my body I stay away from beer and smoking”
pink – “In order to build his body, he stayed away from beer, smoking, and even coffee. But now drugs? Kekekekeke Wow, Jaebum’s tub is pretty big (TN - .. a saying i think)
black – Then there must be things you don’t do in order to keep your body in shape? I don’t smoke or drink, don’t’ really like that kind of stuff. It’s also not good for your health. Beer tastes bad, and I don’t know about smoking cause I’ve never smoked before.

This kid that doesn’t drink or smoke,, what kind of immoral private life would he have?


When asked on Sang Sang Plus how he broke up with his ex-girlfriend whom he dated back in the States, he kept being embarrassed and repeated that he didn’t remember


Sang Sang Plus
Jaebum – Truthfully, I don’t think we’re at the top yet.
Kim Tae Woo – Jaebumah, if you pick, they’ll all come to you.
Jaebum – No, I just want to make money at the moment.
.
.
.
When Shin Junghwan asks Nichkhun who his ideal girl is, he replies Yoona
after that
Shin Junghwan – Jaebum, your ideal girl?
Jaebum – I don’t have one.
.
Jaebum – I want to send money to Seattle
I want my mom to go shopping and do things like that for her.
That is my dream right now.


June 14, 2005 – Xanga discussion with friend (translated version)
While I’ll be happy if I’m with my friends and people who think of me
I’m not going be able to make a lot of money,,
Then I can’t buy good things for my mom or pay for the bills,
I don’t know what to do,,


On Maybee’s Volume Up (radio show)
He said that he’s much happier now than when he was back in the States.

He’s been going to church with his mom, dad, and dongsaeng ever since he was really little.

Jaebum's pastor - (Jaebum) He’s a very gentle kid.
And he’s very respectful towards his parents
and he always had very good relationships with the people around him.


“I want to put everything down and give up and go back to America” did you ever have these thoughts?


Jaebum – I thought that every day for two months


Jaebum – I realized that I could do it if I tried my best and became strong.

He is someone that had those kinds of thoughts and garnered strength from them.
Even though he wanted to give up in Korea and go back to America, he is a kid that put that away and suffered for four years for his family.


You say that kind of person committed a huge, socially unacceptable mistake? And during his busiest period?


My heart hurts a lot, the words from news that are heard by a public who believes in the company’s word.
Jaebum’s relationship with a girl must be complicated, what did he do,,, that’s probably how people are thinking, no?

However… fans know well that Jaebum isn’t that type of person.

His talks of money on broadcast wasn’t for himself
but for his mother,, it was in order to buy her good things,,

Although he grew up in America bboying and rapping,,,

he’s a kid that’s never smoked, let alone can’t even drink,,

During Again and Again promotions, his schedule was full to the point he couldn’t even breathe right,
there was even a time he had 4 radio appearances in one day,, he really had a schedule that kept him busy with no breaks.
And he always spent time with his members and slept together in the same living quarters,, what kind of mistake did he commit that even his members didn’t know about it?

Jaebum’s wish… to devote everything to his mother..
Jaebum’s nickname… Conservative Bum (A nickname given by fans as they observed his conservative nature on broadcasts)
Jaebum’s humanity…. A polite, kind kid.

“A story even 'hotter' than the Olympic games has shaken the night of Seoul. What I want to say is, I have been watching them right by their side since last year, and as I got to know them, I really got to like them, and even now, I want to run to them. Just as human to human. To tell them to hang in there.”
“I know who you're talking about. And that's why I'm sad.”

The words written by SBS PD… even them…
(The acceptance of Jaebum’s humanity)




Jaebum who cried himself to sleep for two weeks every night because he couldn’t speak Korean and eat properly.


At a recording of Star King after receiving treatment..
The Jaebum you saw on TV this day seemed perfectly fine right?
The truth is that he was hurting like this in the back. While he’s a kid that doesn’t really express his pain, a kid that keeps his pain inside, how much could he have been hurting to show it like this.


While he was probably hungry because of his busy schedule, he is a leader that didn’t think to eat and first took care of his members.


And because of that, you think he only took care of his own members?

Jinwoon’s thanks to..
“Jaebum hyung who became so funny these days keke someone who’d actually come out and help on broadcast if asked to jokingly.. a really nice and cool hyung”


[Jokwon on the radio]
During their trainee days when they had no money, he said to Jaebum that he liked a certain pair of shoes. Jaebum who remembered that and bought him (Kwon) the shoes for his birthday and Jokwon who said that he remembers that gift the most.


While doing dangerous and tiring acrobatics, Jaebum who took glucosamine pills at only a young age of 23.

Because his cartilage kept ripping and he took the pills and couldn’t sleep because of back pain,,
he still lived smiling in order to make his members feel happy when they were down.


You guys just have to sit there right?
He always did this.





And because he likes dancing so much, because he continuously fell while doing acrobatics, just how much did he do in order to form calluses like these?


Even with such a purple bruise on his ankle, he never expressed any pain.


And this is his last appearance.


Jay who always respected people that were usually ignored.
