[News] Black market profiteers attempt to buy 3000 Super Junior tickets at one go

Winning the hearts of Asia with [Sorry, Sorry], Super Junior has announced plans to hold their very first concert in Taiwan on the 20th of February next year, during the auspicious Chinese New Year.
True to their popularity, there have already been calls to the organizing unit by black market profiteers, for 3000 tickets to the show.

The tickets officially go on sale in December, but the best tickets, namely the front zones, will only be on preorder for the first round of sales, so fans in the Southern and Central parts of Taiwan are complaining that they have to make a trip up to Taipei specially for the tickets.

Organizing unit Superdome expressed: “We’re working out the details right now, and we’ll try our best to coordinate our efforts with the fans. To prevent black market profiteers from making huge purchases, fans have to register first before getting a number, and they have to show their identification cards too.”

Even with these precautions, there already have been attempts made to get tickets first. An example would be some calling up Superdome to purchase 3000 tickets at one go, and others claiming that they are making company purchases – without being able to name a proper company to boot.

[News]Park Jin Young, “JaeBum will return. When he does, he will return as 2PM” !

Park Jin Young speaks up officially about 2PM JaeBum for the first time on MBC Golden Fishery.

On Golden Fishery aired on 11th November, Park Jin Young said, “If JaeBum comes back, he will return as part of 2PM of course. It will not be a solo comeback.”

MC Kang Ho Dong then asked, “Do you have to send JaeBum off to America in such a rush?” and Park Jin Young replied, “When JaeBum’s case was exposed, it was put under great criticism. And when he returned to the States, suddenly public opinion was ‘Was there a mistranslation?’ and that he did not do any wrong. The answer is in between.”

He continued, “Even though it was not like it is a mistake, it was not like it wasn’t a mistake as well. Someone who is responsible for part of the culture or has nothing to do with our culture should not be receiving the criticisms.”

“JaeBum is not a bad child. Back then he was going through a tough time and was not motivated at all. He even said to me ‘If it is not Park JinYoung’s song, I am confident of success’. But I like it that he does not lie. JaeBum has been changing and the JaeBum now is very different from the JaeBum then. The JaeBum back then had caused hurt to many Koreans, but the JaeBum now is very embarrassed by what he has done and does not want to burden the group as the leader so he has decided to leave. If it’s me I would have done the same.”

Add-on translation:

Kang Ho Dong then asked, “As the company, shouldn’t you stop him?” Park Jin Young said, “He did wrong, and on his own he thought that he did wrong. If you care about JaeBum, I think that public opinion and fans should leave him to be. He will know that everyone cares, but leave him to be for now.”

Lastly, he said, “The thing that I can do is be help as a dance and song teacher to help him keep his standards as a singer up during this resting period. When he is willing to return on to the stage, I will help him willingly. If JaeBum is to return, he will return as 2PM and not solo. JaeBum, the other members and myself will not want a solo comeback.”

[News] Beast are going to college!

On Thursday, Nov. 12, four members of BEAST will be taking the national college entrance exam.

The college entrance exam is similar to the SAT's in the United States, but in Korea the entrance exam is a determining factor in college admission that carries much more weight.

Hyunseung, Junhyung, Kikwang, and Dongwoon are the four members who will be taking the exam.

Fans who were hoping to see Hyunseung or Junhyung on this week's Inkigayo Mobile Ranking were disappointed when the schedule came out to show that Yoseub and Doojoon would be filming Mobile Ranking together on Wednesday, Nov. 11. But many BEAST fans speculated that CUBE assigned Yoseub and Doojoon to Mobile Ranking so that the other four members could spend the day before the exam studying.

Even with this day "off" before the test, Hyunseung, Junhyung, Kikwang, and Dongwoon will go right back to their schedule after they take the exam with BEAST's performance at M.net's "Oh~ Good!" concert which is on the same day as the entrance exam.

Needless to say, the boys must be extremely nervous, but hopefully they know that their fans are behind them cheering them on!

[NEWS] Beast's 'Yet' is banned by KBS?!

Following the news of singer K.Will, it has been revealed late that group BEAST was also banned.

The song "Yet" on BEAST's debut album which came out in October was banned by KBS.

"Yet" is a sentimental R&B song that expresses the feelings of a person who has no experience in breaking up.

The song did not pass trial because of a phrase that has the potential to be misheard and misunderstood as a cuss word. Within the lyrics "The loneliness surrounds me as I spend the night in tears, shh," the exclamation "shh" is heard as the cuss word "sh*t."

A representative from BEAST's entertainment company CUBE said, "Of course the phrase was not used as a cuss word." The company has not yet submitted a request for a retrial.

After their debut last month with the song "Bad Girl," BEAST has been gaining popularity.

[news]Rain on His Acting Ambitions

Warning: A bit long.. patience is needed :D

Actor Chung Ji-hoon (also known as Rain) is the first Korean actor to appear in a major Hollywood movie. His second Hollywood production is "Ninja Assassin," which was produced by the Wachowski brothers and Joel Silver. It is a brutal movie in the action genre. Its Japanese-style subject matter--the ninja--is unfamiliar to the Korean public.

In an interview on November 10 at the Hotel Lotte, Chung said that not everyone was going to like "Ninja Assassin." He added that fans of martial arts would definitely like it.

Chung has had three turning points in his career so far: his collaboration with music producer Park Jin-young, his Hollywood debut in the movie "Speed Racer," and his role in "Ninja Assassin." "It's yet another beginning," said Chung, looking very determined.

Following is the interview with Rain.

-- Will there be sequels to "Ninja Assassin"?

▲The terms and conditions of my deal are a secret, but it's already known that I originally signed to appear in two or three productions. If the movie proves to be a success, its sequels will be produced; otherwise, it's going to end here. I will try my best till the very end.

--It's a very brutal movie. Plus, it's subject is very strange to Koreans.

▲If it were not brutal, it would have been like an ordinary martial arts movie. Both the Wachowski brothers and Joel Silver had planned this movie for ten years in order to show the real essence of martial arts. People who like martial arts will like this movie.

I also thought that this movie is too "Japanese," but my opinion changed after I read books about ninjas. Ninjas killed people in order to protect kings or their masters. In that respect, they existed everywhere in the world. This movie deals with the universal subject of good and evil. I play a killer who fights against ninjas.

--You learned a lot from various martial art actors like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan...

▲Ninjas always have to hide. They have to be invisible. That's why they keep a hunched posture when dealing with their enemies. So I practiced creeping and using the horse-riding pose. I took lessons from boxing, karate, kung fu and tumbling champions from various countries as well as from the action teams of Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Bruce Lee makes slow moves but they are also very accurate, while Jackie Chan is fast and decisive. We tried to produce perfect action scenes. Even when filming fistfight scenes, I tried to make it look right.

--It's a moden film about ninjas. How did you portray Raizo?

▲Larry and Andy (the Wachowski brothers) told me that the mental fight mattered most. I wanted to make my character look fresh every time he appeared on screen.

--How did you make your body so perfect?

▲I became healthier by staying away from salt and sugar. I felt like my body was shrinking, like a dried squid. The only liquid that it contained was water. Once a week I ate chicken breasts marinated in wine but I avoided salt and sugar. I lifted light-weight dumbbells to make small muscles.

--You were accompanied by an English tutor all day long...

▲He was a Korean living in the U.S. I felt at ease with him. I just spoke in English even when I made mistakes. I was honest with myself, because I was learning. When I didn't know something, I asked. My director also credited me for that. But my English still sounds like nonsense.

--Actor Lee Byung-hun said that he was lonely in Hollywood...

▲I bonded with everyone on the film set because I'm very young. Despite my poor English skills I chatted with the director and when I didn't understand something, I took notes and looked it up later at home. Not knowing something is not a crime. Plus, I played a leading role. My needs always came first on the set. I was the first one to receive meals. I wasn't lonely at all, because I was number one (laughs).Later, I was even annoyed because people talked too much to me. I also received pocket money every week, aside from my remuneration. It was big money. I even had to open two bank accounts. It was ten times as much as my remuneration in "Speed Racer," for which I was paid 200,000 won a week.

--Do you have any plans to appear in Korean movies?

▲I would want to, but every time it seems to be bad timing. When filming Hollywood movies, it takes more than half a year to prepare and shoot a movie. Once it's over, I have to prepare my new albums and concerts. In no time, three or four years pass. If I get a chance to appear in a Korean TV drama or movie, I would like it to deal with a light subject, like a melodrama. The role of a cheater also seems to be fun. Since the drama "A Love To Kill," I have played only serious roles.

--Your fans criticized your Hollywood debut...

▲The criticism started when I was performing overseas. But there are ups and downs in life. If you stand still, you will be pushed out. I have made my name in Hollywood and appeared in a real Hollywood production. I am ready for praise and criticism.

--Which is more important to you - singing or acting?

▲As an actor, I would like to try diverse things. To be honest, I enjoy singing on stage. But dance singers hit a limit someday. Presenting something new every time is difficult. I can't even sleep well. Some people ask me why I haven't debuted in the U.S. as an artist. But who would turn down an offer from the Wachowski brothers? In the U.S. market competition is cutthroat. You can't survive unless you destroy your rivals. To release an album in the U.S., you have to work with top-notch music producers and choreographers. Everything must be perfect.
