Dong Bang Shin Ki members, Hero JaeJoong, Micky YooChun and Xiah JunSu, have indicated on the 13th of November that, "The reason for the refusal to perform at the ShenZhen Mirotic Concert is because SM refuses to reveal the contract details."

The representative of the 3 members stated, "SM only announced the ShenZhen concert schedule after they have filed the lawsuit" and that "The members requested for SM to reveal the contract details regarding the concert but SM refused ; That is the reason why the members decided not to attend the concert at ShenZhen."

He added on, "ShenZhen Mirotic Concert was not on the tour list originally, that's something the fans are aware of."

He also revealed the possibility of reconciliation, "It is not that they (JaeChunSu) do not wish to work with SM anymore," "There is still a possibility of reconciliation, but only when their issue with the income part of their contract are settled."

[News] f(x)'s thoughts on SNSD, Krystal is touched by Jessica's words



f(x) spoke highly of their agency’s sunbae(senior), SNSD.

On the 16th through an interview with Newsen, f(x) (Victoria, Amber, Luna, Krystal, Sulli) said, “So Nyuh Shi Dae is the best” and “They are a group we wouldn’t dare to judge”.

f(x) and SNSD live under the same roof of SM Entertainment like a family. Also, when it was known that Jessica and Krystal are biological sisters, the bond between the two groups is peculiar.

f(x) said, “Since we are in the same agency as Korea’s Best Girl Group, So Nyuh Shi Dae, we get a strong feeling” and “They are Sunbaes(seniors) that we have so much to learn from”.

Also about SHINee, f(x) said, “Recently, when SHINee won 1st place on a music broadcast chart, we were as happy as if we won 1st place” and “When SHINee supported us through their encore stage by saying ‘Please love f(x) a lot’, we were deeply moved. We were also able to decorate the stage with SHINee’s Ring Ding Dong dance together. It was very fun”

-------------------

f(x) member Krystal (Birth Name Jung Soo Jung) was touched by the heartfelt support of her sister Jessica (Birth Name Jung Soo Yeon).

On the 16th through an interview with Newsen, Krystal said, “When f(x) debuted in September, I was able to see my sister (Jessica) a lot because she wasn’t having any activities at that time. Whether we would see each other at home or at the practice studio, we would always cheer for each other” Also “Since my sister is busy practicing for her musical, we have not been able to see each other as much like before”.

At the time of my debut, my sister said, ‘You will succeed more than me, so just do your best. Don’t worry about anything and just do your hardest’. Her words gave me a lot of strength. Also “Since it was the beginning of my debut I worried a lot, but my sister was of big strength for me”.

Krystal and Jessica who are called the ‘Jung Sisters’ by fans, have been able to debut after a joint casting to become trainees through SM Entertainment when they were younger. Jessica born in the year 1989, grew up through the nation’s best girl group, So Nyuh Shi Dae, as a member starting in 2007, and Krystal born in 1994 who debuted in September with f(x) is becoming a hot topic.

Also f(x) spoke highly of their agency senior So Nyuh Shi Dae by saying “Since Korea’s best girl group is our sunbae, we are very strong” and “They are sunbaes(seniors) that we have a lot to learn from”.

[News] Shenzhen Concert tickets were sold before SM attained

Shenzhen Concert tickets were sold before SM attained government permit

The Chinese government performance permit was signed and issued on October 28th, 2009, while SM started selling the tickets for the performance in September after the provisional disposition was filed, which means they started selling the tickets before obtaining the Chinese government permit.



In the following picture are two permit. The first one is obtained on October 28th for the Shenzhen concert, it was then updated on November 3rd. The second half is the permit for the Bejing concert. For both, the dates the permits were attained have been underlined.

So basically, SM began selling the tickets before they were certain whether the concert will happen or not. Even though SM specifically said they knew about all the stops in June 2008 for the tour, there’s no way they could have been certain of this particular concert until October 28th of this year.

[news] "Jessica Effect" Takes Over


If you are an SNSD fan, you probably know about the "Sica Effect" (when Jessica talks, she calms the entire situation/environment). However, this time, it causes a much different and opposite effect.
It seems as that Jessica's appearance (along with Kim JiWoo & Lee Honey) as one of the lead roles in the Korean version musical of Legally Blonde has gained a lot of attention.

The musical officially began on November 14, 2009. Its sales were around #10 in the musical sales. On November 16, 2009, at 2:00PM, when Jessica's performance tickets were on sale, Legally Blonde has become #1 in musical sales immediately.

The Legally Blonde musical held in Korea is the first attempt in Asia on a reenactment of recent Broadway musical, and earned numerous positive feed backs. Their production, music, choreography, characters, and the harmony of all the factors contributed to the compliments.

The musical will be continued until March 14, 2010 at the coexartium, the main actors alternating in different days. Jessica's first stage will be held on December 22nd and 23rd. Good luck to Jessica and all the rest of the cast in the musical!

Those of you that are bummed that you can not watch the musical in person (which includes myself as well), take a peek at the showcase held on October 22, 2009 below.

[news] Lee Minwoo's Got A New Girl?


Pictures have been circulating and netizens are going crazy but is this mystery girl really Minwoo's new girlfriend?






That's the question on everyone's mind right about now. The mystery girl still remains a mystery, but many photos have been revealed of the Shinhwa member and this Jane Doe.

Many speculate that she is Minwoo's new girlfriend, which is what it seems like after looking at these pictures of the two cuddled up. In my perspective she is either his girlfriend or Minwoo must really love taking pictures with strangers. If the latter is true, Lee Minwoo better welcome me with open arms as well.

[news] Hyori has beef with Sandara Park?


Sandara Park of 2NE1 was the guest on this weeks SBS' Family Outing and got a cold welcome from Lee Hyori. It seemed as if Hyori didn't like her inevitable successor in the KPop scene.

Like always in Family Outing, the celebs cook on their own and Sandara decided to make kimchi pancakes. During the preparation, Hyori would talk cold to Sandara as if she was jealous. Of course, this was all for fun and giggles.



Hyori asked how much Dara weights and she replied with 40kg (88 pounds). Sandara then told a story about how when she was in her teens growing up in the Philippines, she used to be a big fan of Hyori. She blamed Hyori for her not being able to grow tall because she once saw how Hyori loved melons and she decided to take melons from Philippines in her backpack to Korea. Her friends said they were going to go see Hyori so they went and waited in front of her house when Hyori's mom came out. Sandara gave the melon to Hyori's mom and in return the mom gave her a signed picture of Hyori. Sandara left without getting to meet Hyori and Hyori asked "you did all that and you didn't get to meet me?... there are lots of kids like that."

Hyori then asked Dara if she had a username on Hyori's fan cafe. Dara replied with, "of course! it was 'Eyes Smile Wabang Hyol' (named after Hyori's famous smiling with her eyes).

Throughout the episode, Hyori expresses her jealousy towards Sandara but it was very cute from both sides. The episode of Family Outing was released today so go check it out!

By the way, Sandara's unorthodox kimchi pancake looks good!
