[news] Zhoumi apologises on SOHU blog

Hi everyone, I’m Zhoumi of Super Junior-M.

Not long ago, SJ-M was interviewed in Taiwan, and because of my misuse of words I caused a big misunderstanding and a bad influence, I have been very guilty because of this…

That was not what I meant to say.

So I would like to apologise to everyone here: Sorry!

I sincerely hope that everyone will forgive my mistake, and I’ve truly learnt through this incident, that an artiste’s actions and public image are infinitely important.

I will be more careful next time so that I do not make the same mistake again.

Zhoumi extends his deepest apologies to everyone here once more…

[News] After School Raina and Baek Ji Young collapse

Today in Kpop, we see news of 2 Kpop singers collapsing from exhaustion and flu.

First we have After School Raina collapsing from exhaustion and rushed to the hospital. This was according to the group’s company that she has collapsed after filming a year-end special performance at 8pm on 27th December.

It was said that the exhaustion is from preparing for the year-end special performances and carrying out the tight schedule. From the hospital side, it is said that there is no major health problems for Raina.

It has also been reported that singer Baek Ji Young has cancelled her concert performance with high fever, and whether refunds to the concert will be made is still in discussion.

She was set to hold ‘Baek Ji Young Dinner Party’ on 26th and 27th December. The first show on 26th was cancelled due to Baek having high fever. She was sent to the hospital for treatment, and went on stage to perform on 27th December, but because her health conditions have worsened, she was forced to stop the performance halfway that day.

Fortunately it has been confirmed that it is not a case of swine flu but Baek’s health condition is pretty bad. Dicussions are in the way if she will continue to hold concert performance again after she recovered.

[News] Yoona Has The Prettiest Eyes

SNSD's Yoona, #1 idol with eyes that resemble a snow flower.

Yoona of the popular girl group SNSD was voted by the fans, as the idol with the prettiest eyes.

According to an eye clinic, 316 Lasik eye surgery patients were asked from December 1st until December 23rd "Which idol has the cleanest, prettiest eyes?" and Yoona took first place with 207 votes (65.5%). In second was Shin Min Ah with 102 votes (32.2.%)

The owner of the eye clinic, Mr. Kim, said "I have come to know what kind of eyes are appealing to the public through this poll" and " Yoona not only achieved first place from our patients, but also from our medical staff's poll as well."

Owner Kim continued to say "Clear and Clean eyes like Yoona's are able to comfort others, also, pretty eyes are a must for beautiful women" and "In general, pretty eyes strengthen a "good" person's image and enhances one's likeliness, which is another reason why Yoona was picked"

In fact, Yoona's fans directly expressed an indefinite love and likeliness towards her.

On May 30th, 2009, a SNSD fan caf? sent Yoona a happy birthday message through a daily Korean Newspaper. In response, Yoona posted a picture of herself and her cake on her homepage.

Also, the advertising world (which is very sensitive to the general public/consumer's response) said "Yoona is successful as a singer, but also as an advertising model. She portrays the image of a trustworthy person and thus she is welcomed by sponsors and consumers."

Innisfree, a company that recently hired Yoona as a model stated "Yoona naturally gives off a clean and clear image through her music recordings and drama appearances, and thus she fit our 'pure brand' concept of Innisfree and was picked as our model," and "Yoona's peculiar open heartedness and her appeal to a variety of age groups also played large roles in why she was selected as our model." These statements reconfirmed that she has a great influence on the public as a 'skin goddess'.

On one hand, Yoona is a member of the number on girls group SNSD, but she also plays active roles in dramas. Yoona also co-hosted the 2009 KBS Entertainment awards on the 26th where she portrayed herself as a very mature person.
