[News] J-pop group Arashi releases new single in Korea today

Japanese pop group Arashi will be releasing their new single "Troublemaker" in Korea today, according to agency SM Entertainment on Wednesday.

SM said in a press release that "Troublemaker" will be released in Korea in two versions; a regular CD and a limited edition composed of a CD and DVD.

The DVD will contain the music video for "Troublemaker" as well as making-the-video footage while the CD will feature an additional track titled "One More Step."

"Troublemaker", the group's latest single released in Japan earlier this month, sold over 540,000 copies in its first week to top Oricon's weekly single chart.

The pop track was also featured in popular Japanese television series, "Tokujo Kobachi!!", which starred one of the group's member Sakurai Sho.

Another track on the record will be "Shake It Now", which was used as the theme song for several Japanese television programs as well as for the recent 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.

Arashi -- composed of members Masaki Aiba, Jun Matsumoto, Kazunari Ninomiya, Satoshi Ohno and Sho Sakurai -- made their debut in November 1999 with the eponymous single "Arashi", which became an instant hit and sold over half a million copies in the first week alone of its release.

The boy band has released eight studio albums, three compilation albums and 29 singles to date, of which 25 have reached No. 1 on the Oricon singles chart.

[News] Sandara Park 12 Part 'Star Diary' Part 7- “2NE1’s story, written by Sandara Park herself”


A music video production diary written by Sandara herself will take the place of Part 7 of Sandara Park’s Star Diary. She wrote her own subheadings and posted the pictures herself too.

This is Reporter Dara! I see my reporting skills have been recognised by the outside world as well, so I get to be a reporter for the day.

It’s been a hot topic on the net lately. I am thinking of releasing the behind story of the filming of our ‘Try To Follow Me’ (‘TTFM’) music video.




◆The Story of How We Had to Refilm the MV
It took a whole 4 days filming 2NE1’s ‘TTFM’ music video. We didn’t have time to go back and forth between the sets in NamYang and our dorms in Seoul, so we stayed in a motel and finally finished filming.

But a few days later, we were given shocking news. We were told that we had to refilm the music video at the new company building.
(Bbarabam...ㅠ.ㅠ Could it have been that the President wanted to show off the new office?)

But we made preparations all over again and worked hard refilming it all night. The nice background was actually the new building’s cafeteria. It’s really pretty, right? I bet you never even imagined that it was a cafeteria. When we saw the results, we were amazed at how awesome President Yang and the music video director were. (haha)



◆Our First Choreography
2NE1 was so nervous before filming the music video. This was because we didn’t have any choreography. But that nervousness was easily taken care of thanks to the newbie choreographers of ‘TTFM’. CL and Gong Minzy played a very active part in the making of the choreography.

The choreography of this music video was actually the combined work of CL, Minzy and choreographer Lee Jae Wook. They are such talented people. So with the choreography being made three days before the filming and us practising all night for two days, how was the ‘TTFM’ music video?

◆15 Different Looks!
Another spectacle of the ‘TTFM’ MV would definitely be the outfits. 2NE1 shows 15 different looks in the music video. We’re all wearing different outfits in our individual cuts as well as the group ones, so I wonder how many outfits that adds up to? Try guess.

2NE1’s stylists YangGeng (nickname) and Hyunjong really put a lot of effort into them. The funny thing is that the outfits were made before the choreography. They say the outfits were out a week before the filming of the MV, after a whole lot of meetings and fittings.

And we also got to show off some of our own personal collections in this music video.





◆Dara's Fighting Spirit Despite Her Injuries!
We were filming the highlight of the video, the part with the choreo. The ground of the set was covered in sand and because of the four cameras, we had to dance in a very small space.

So we started filming. Then Dara who had been dancing enthusiastically suddenly felt something hit her and her mind went numb. During one of the moves which included a powerful dance with their arms stretched out, Minzy had hit Dara’s head with her fist because they were so close. (ㅠ.ㅠ)

And filming went on.
But she continued being slapped, having her ankle trodden on by Minzy’s heels, being kicked and bruised in the knee etc. Not a single part of her body came out unscathed.

It was hard at the time but I hear they were overjoyed at the final results the day the music video was released.

So, was it fun reading my music video behind-story? It was really fun for me!

I hope you’ll continue to love our new song ‘Try To Follow Me’. And please keep supporting 2NE1! This was Reporter Dara, the member in charge of promoting 2NE1. See you again. (bows)

[News] 2ne1 talks about law in an interview


Q,What is the most important group activities do you think?

Bom : Mutual respect and dialogue not it? We live in a hostel, especially for each other I think we need to protect privacy. To do this, they understand more about the recognition I think it’s important.Also in order to better understand each other, do you think a lot of conversation.


Q. Most of the members who are good at keeping the law and order?

CL; Members of all I’m trying to keep law and order well. For example, in the hostel on the way to rehearsal, we got a little pedestrian crossing. When five cars does not really enough to cross you take a short walk away, but I’m crossing the traffic light had changed to green.
Q. Let’s keep one thing you! Do you have a law and order?

Minji: All the better to keep law and order, but somehow I gasuda we do not have to download CDs illegally. One piece of music to come out deuramadeun younghwadeun or how many people, time and effort with all legal because you know how well (^ ^) I’ve been downloading. Good Downloader, you have agreed to also enjoy!
Q. When compared to the Philippines and South Korea keep one thing really well! If you have an order?

Dara: I first came to Korea to wait for traffic lights, they were really weird! This is crossing a small hoengdanbodogeon they wait for traffic lights to change from a green appearance were also impressive. To be honest, the Philippines, I am waiting for a signal change is like a stranger. ^ ^ Now becoming familiar with life in Korea occasionally glance it looks like some people admire Jaywalking. I’m sorry.
Q. I represent the Republic of Korea leading the way as a group, until further notice to the fans if you want to have a word?

CL: Yeuigo to each other than law and order for creating a good society would think. You know some law and order and keeping nice and cool in 2NE1 is a fan so we think really proud! We’ll try to be exemplary, everybody, “Look at me, Say-So !”^^*

[News] After School in Korean magazines; UEE is not leaving After School


After School’s current seven members posed as casual and classy ladies for Singles magazine. Though we already know who the new member is, we won’t be seeing her alongside the other members until they make their comeback.

In this April issue of the magazine, the girls revealed some tips for throwing a party. In the photos, the girls are recreating the scene of a Spring brunch. They also all picked important agendas for a party. Becka picked candle lighting because it sets the mood. Jungah, Nana and Jooyeon chose having a dress code and getting funny or princess themed decorations. Raina recommended throwing a party outdoors in nice weather.

They also showed off their special recipes. Nana made a sweet pumpkin bean drink, UEE made a Spring clam salad, Kahi created a low-fat chicken salad, Becka made clam chowder, Jungah made a bulgogi and vegetable sandwich, Raina made a strawberry waffle and Jooyeon made a potato pie. All of it sounds delicious, right?

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding girl group After School and its latest member lately. Even through the chaos, UEE found time to grace the April issue of CeCi magazine.

Many rumors have been floating around that the new member would be replacing UEE, but so far that doesn’t seem to be the case. UEE is only temporarily leaving the After School dorm to live closer to the set of her upcoming drama. And even if it is a temporary leave, UEE is still a part of the group in every way. With that said however, it has not been confirmed whether or not she will join the group later this month for their comeback.

Either way, UEE looks absolutely stunning on the cover of CeCi, so be sure to stay tuned into allkpop for the full set release of the centerfold!

After School will release their 3rd single on the 25th.

[Audio] Kei$ha's demo track of SNSD Run Devil Run song




The Demo from Kei$ha
Video Credits:xlyricslove




The original, in Korean from SNSD.

Video Credits:KpopSub






"Composed in concert by Busbee, Alex James, Kalle Engstrom and others. There was a guide song version recorded by Ke$sha in 2008 which was leaked on Youtube and deleted. SNSD's is the official version"

*credit silis7noy2 @ soompi

"It should be made clear that "Run" isn't a cover since the song was never officially released by Ke$sha. An example of a cover is Whitney Houston's song " I will always love you" which was officially released as a single by the writer Dolly Parton in the 70s. Another example is "Insomina" which was originally by Craig David. He promoted the song and then gave it to Wheesung.
*Since the song writers took the song back and the record company never actually officially released the song as Ke$sha's it's not a cover. In the music industry songwriters and producers sometimes have a bunch of artist record a single to determine whether or not to give that specific artist the song. In Ke$sha'a case, she recorded the single and the higher ups and/or the songwriters weren't eeling it for her so that scrapped it. Unfortunately a leaked copy was released when there shouldn't have been. Overall, the song belongs to SNSD not Ke$sha. "

SNSD's Quick Release of "Run Devil Run"...The Netizens' Explosive Responses

[AsiaKyungjae Reporter Jo Bumja] SNSD released their title song for their repackaged 2nd album, "Run Devil Run," on the 17th. It is already receiving explosive amounts of responses from netizens.

A preview of the concept of "Run Devil Run" was shown during the last part of their "Oh!" music video. Just as shown in the preview, the lyrics of the song are sending a word of warning to bad boys honestly and without hesitation. They showed a preview of a transformed SNSD by giving off a "femme fatale" atmosphere, which is slightly different than what atmospheres they've been giving off before.

The fans who have heard this new song through Bugs, Melon, and other music sites, have welcomed the transformed SNSD by saying comments such as, "It's mysterious and fresh," and, "It's so catchy, it seems like this one's going to be big as well."

The title song, "Run Devil Run," has a very strong sound of synth pop, and it perfectly balances SNSD's very charismatic vocals.

Busbee(USA), Alex James(UK), Kalle Engstrom(Sweden), and other composers from all over the world have collaborated to create this song. The new American popstar, Ke$ha, recorded a "guide version"** of the song before her debut around August 2008, as she is close with one of the composers.

There has been cases where Ke$ha's guide version has been taken down from Youtube as it was illegally leaked and uploaded. Thus, SNSD is the first to be officially presenting this song.

In addition, SNSD is expected to show a very powerful and charismatic performance to match the atmosphere of this title song. The interest in their performance, outfits, and more, is expected to be very high.

On another note, the music video for SNSD's new song, "Run Devil Run," will be revealed for the first time on Bugs and the smartphone SNSD application at 12:00am on this coming 18th. Their first performance will be on the coming 19th of March on KBS2's "Music Bank."


****************************

**By "guide version", they mean like a "demo" version. This means that Ke$ha recorded the song before her debut just as a demo track, and it also implies that Ke$ha doesn't hold rights to this song. It was first offically released by SNSD, so SNSD did not "copy" Ke$ha. I know there was a lot of commotion around this. If this becomes an issue and SM needs to come out with an official statement on it, they will.

[Cyworld] Heechul spent his White Day with?

2010.03.15 16:45


Title : Birthday party


Because of my oversea schedule so Hongki birthday had been celebrated in advanced[1] (-┏)
What, it's Hongki birthday..but it had to match with my schedule..
Since Geunseok came with a big candy box


Me : Yah we're not kids anymore to suck somekind of candy like thisㅡㅡ


Geunseok : Hyung today is White Day~


All : (-┏)


It's White Day..
I have never once spent Valentine Day or White Day with a girlfriend..

It rained all day long and us guys' dark-clouds-like expression

Ah..damn I dont know what to say (-┏)

From the left in the picture



Mighty Mouth's Sangchu (this is the first time he has a gloomy mood like that)


F.T Island's Jonghoon (seems like to cry)


Jang Geunseok (His two fingers' γ shape seem like to poke in your two eyes)


Kim Heechul (is waiting for only the birthday cake)


Epik High's Mithra (looks like about to beat someone)


F.T Island's Hongki (the most excited one)


Might Mouth's Shorry (he thought there would be a lot of jokes since there were only guys)


The TRAX's Jungmo (in the middle of making a poktanju[2])


Natsun who took this photo (he just show off his Iphone)


Actually I had brought along my camera which was one of my gift
But since I cant adapt myself to the modern technology and dont know how to use it so I gave up after just clicking the shutter

[1] Hongki said his birthday is Feb 6th in Lunar calendar so his bday will change every year and this year it will be in March 21st in Western calendar but since Heechul will have SS2 in Malaysia so they held the party in advanced.
[2] poktanju is a boilermaker, usually made by pouring or dropping a shot of whiskey into a glass of beer. Sometimes soju, wine, tequila or some other available hard liquor is substituted for the whiskey.

Title : Perm

Not long ago I came to the hair salon to cut my hair
I myself was ready so after came back from Shanghai the next day I came to the hair salon
But once I sat on the chair inside the hair salon I changed my mind
Me : Ah wait! Just get my hair perm
SunOh Teacher : Huh? Why again~
Me : It's pity if I cut it ㅋㅋ
SunOh Teacher : Many people cut their hair;;
Me : Ah if so (I will) hate cutting my hair moreㅋㅋㅋㅋ just perm ㄱㄱ

That's how the hair style like Cheon Jiho in "Chuno" is done



2010.03.15 18:55
Title : Very high-definition video




Yesterday when taking the photos there were only 3 of us so we had tried dozens of time
Since I gave up (taking photo) so I just recorded a video clipㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
But why the pictute is so red like thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Seems like I can't do anything since I even dont know how to adjust the light ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Since I'm the style of not reading the instruction so once I open the cap I throw away it (camera) ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Ah I had failed since this cant be edited by PTS ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
While the other people use dica
[3] to take HQ photo and upload to their minihompy
I'm the only one who cant deal with it so I just use my cellphone to take (photo) and upload them ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Anyway those who know PTS let's make it beautiful and upload them ㅋㅋㅋㅋ



[3] dica = digital camera
OK, a little explanation for the clip, as Heechul said he doesnt know how to use the dica to take photo so he use it to record a video clip instead. And the reason why 3 of them acted like they were taking photo (counting 1 to 3, doing aegyo, pausing for about 1 second) because heechul said it'll be the chance for fans who know PTS make captures from the vid, edit those caps to be beautiful and post them...thus it will look like the 3 had actually taken photos, not just captures from a video (OMG, I'm laughing so so hard right now)

[Videos] Hankyung's SOHU Interview



Part I.

MC: *intros*

HG: Hello I am Han Geng! *greets everyone*
MC: what did you do in 2 months?
HG: Now during this time because of all the events going on I wanted rest, exercised, performance, and study english?
MC: English? Why did you want to learn english?
HG: I think english is very important so I want to improve ("deepen") my knowledge.
MC: But your english is pretty good!
HG: Nooo.
MC: (comment: couldn't make out) can understand
HG: By listening a lot .. (comment: couldn't make out)
MC: Ah so studied english and also, exercise?
HG: Yes.
MC: Show us your results.
HG: it's not so easy *makes motions*

They sorta talk about not having to take off clothes.
MC: Let me feel your biceps. *feels* Oh, this is real.
HG: It's real? Didn't "inject" with water. (Comment: What? lol)

Well, how did you pass your days?
HG: After waking up, I went to class (note: not sure what class). After class I ate a bit and at 1pm in the afternoon I start to exercise. After exercising I rest 1/2 hr to 1 hour then I went to english class.
MC: Oh, every day went like this?
HG: Yes, every day.
MC: So, these days every day was improving yourself, hoping to have a better attitude/mood.
HG: Yes, hopefully to have a new/improved Han Geng and attitude.



Part II.

MC: Speaking here, of course we have to talk about the obvious topic. Now Han Geng is sitting here and it's been a while since we last saw you. About the lawsuit, just say it however you want to say it. Right, what is the current circumstance?

HG: Right now... I am also waiting. All the things I have left/given to my lawyer. I am alsy waiting. Hopefully everyone can wait together with me for a conclusion. I will let everyone know first after a conclusion.
MC: Honestly this lawsuit can only have two outcomes, win or lose. What hopes/expectations do you have?
HG: Well I want to hope/expect a good outcome. But the rest of the items will have to see what my lawyer does.
MC: Well, let's just wait together for the outcome.
HG: Yes
MC: I believe it won't be too long from now right?
HG: yes...
MC: End of March?
HG: This.. I can't really say. We'll have to see how the lawsuit is. 



Part III.

MC: So in the end let's say you win the lawsuit. And get out of the contract (literal: become a free person). What do you want to do?

HG: Well there's no definite what will happen. I will have to see what future oppurtunities there are. I really want to be a good performer so that's why right now I need to practice/study. Because my dream was always to become a good performer/actor..
MC: Really?
HG: Of course! I always wanted to be an actor.
MC: Aiya, same as me. *both laugh* You hurry up and be a performer, I want to be a singer.
HG: If you're a singer then I'll be a ______.
MC: Ah so you want to be a performer.
HG: Right. So that's why in regards to be a performer I want to study more. So i nthe future there can be more better oppurtunities. About the singing portion, because on the stage - because normally since 13 I started learning dance on the stage little by little I don't want to throw [this knowledge] away. I still want to continue being on a stage.
MC: Well then let's wish HG's dream to come true. One person's strength can be limiting perhaps behind you you'll need a group to help support you. If you manage to gain your freedom, would you find a new managing group? or a new [performance] group? Or will you start your own company? Have you thought about these aspects?
HG: Right now, I still don't have these plans. But if I do have an oppurtunity like this I would like to work with a very good/excellent company going in the same direction. Therefore if we'll match each other and it'll be good both for the company and me. Hopefully there will be a good company I can work with.



Part IV.

In part 4, they talk about some sort of tv competition which targets contestants from a special Arts School. He talks about the competitors having some sort of advantage because they have already received trainging. They talk about a group called M.I.C that is currently competing, and Hangeng talks about how the members all have their own unique qualities and that he hopes that the path they're on will get better and better.


Part V.

In the 5th part, the host asks him hypothetically if he's in a new company and the company already has a well-known group, would Hangeng consider joining the group? Hangeng says something about liking to work with different types of people, and that he can learn a lot from others. The host asks Hangeng if he feels lonely talking to the host by himself, Hangeng says he does miss them, and he says that no matter if it's him or his friends, he hopes their lives will get better and better. The host asks him if he is prepared to face the world by himself, and Hangeng replies that he will try hard. Hangeng thanks everyone for watching him, and not giving up on him. Hangeng also says he will work hard to create the best product for everyone, and that he hopes that everyone will move forward with him.
