[NEWS]2PM Fans are Forced to Take Sides

The choice of the fans have never been more important than this moment as the 2PM fans “Hottest” are forced to choose the new “6PM” and JYP Entertainment or Jae Bum.

Starting with the offical fan club “Hottest” (which already had approximately 55,000 fans leave), the fans have been arguing night and day as to what their next move should be. Bombarded by stories from so called “Sae-Seng” fans (who basically follow around the celebrity 24/7), many were enraged and turned into anti-2PM and have sent threatening messages by uncovering the past of 2PM members. But some fans are pleading to give the remaining members some time and let the situation settle down a bit before making any rash decisions. Unfortunate news for JYP Entertainment and “6PM” is that substantial damage has been done and image of 2PM may take years to heal.

The Next biggest fan club, “Hwan-sang,” was initially in the direction of supporting the original 2PM with 7 members. With continuous outrage and pressure, however, the fan club has recently turned into a 2PM boycott club, and the editors of the club has kicked out many members who have spoken against this sudden twist in decision.

On March 1st, 2PM fan club “underground” (which only consists of fans older than 20), has turned its direction to supporting Jae Bum only, and the editors of the fan club will be initiating a “sweep” throughout the cafe to unite the club under one banner. DCinside 2PM Gallery has also split into two parts as there were those who argue that there has to be at least a span of a month before making any decisions to support/deny the “new” 2PM.

These are just the main clubs, and there are numerous other small fan pages that are going through the same dilemma as to which side will they stand on. Even with this commotion, 2PM members still press on with their schedule, and their future remains yet to be unfolded.

[NEWS] 'Shock' Music Video Chreography is a Topic !

While six member group BEAST revealed on the 1st their music video to their title song ‘SHOCK’, these ‘beast-dols’ or ‘pet-dols’ received a lot of attention with their new nickname ‘spo-dols’.

Fans of BEAST noticed that the choreography that appeared in the ‘SHOCK’ music video was shown in their final performance of their first mini album.

When performing ‘Mystery’ on February 12th at Music Bank, BEAST ended their song a bit differently arousing curiosity. The choreography that was used at that ending is now used in the chorus of ‘SHOCK’ from their new mini album ‘Shock of the new Era’.

This is not the first time that BEAST has given a spoiler of their choreography.

Before performing their follow up song of their first mini album ‘Mystery’, they showed their neck turning dance during the final performance of their title song ‘Bad Girl’, causing curiosity among fans. That dance was used in the chorus of ‘Mystery’ and received lots of attention.

BEAST changes the choreography for each song 2~3 times creating many different performances. Fans commenting on the spoilers in the choreography said “They have style”, “They make you anticipate their performances”, “You never know when there will be a spoiler so you have to pay attention”.

[TRANS] Tohoshinki's Jaejoong in Women Weekly!

Blowing away the dissolution news, the five attracts everyone and is starting to become a “legend”…

“When she first met Jaejoong, he had memorized lines of the character played by Kimura Takuya from the drama ‘Long Vacation’ and Kitagawa (the author of the book Long Vacation) was so impressed. He said he was a huge fan of the drama and that he learned japanese from watching it.”- drama staff

We got the news that the popular group Tohoshinki’s Jaejoong is going to be in a Japanese drama! The drama ‘素直 に なれなく て (Sunao Ni Narenakute) is going to be aired in April on Thursday’s from 10pm on Fuji TV. The script writer is the person who wrote “Long Vacation”, Kitagawa Eriko.

“The story is based on twitter -which is popular right now, and through twitter 5 men/women meet. (T/N: Oooh. This must really get the interest of the people with twitter accounts) Eita plays the character of a new camera man and Ueno Juri is playing the part-time employee at a private high school. Also Seki Megumi is the best friend who works in the field of mass communication, and Tamayama Tetsuji is the guy who gathers the five.” – sports newspaper.

There are other actor/actress like Igawa Haruka, Watanabe Eri, and Fubuki Jun, but the casts who are going to be involved with the five has still not been announced. The 5th character is said that Kitagawa Eriko named Jaejoong to play that role. “After Kitagawa met Jaejoong it seems that she has been contacting him a few times over the phone, that’s what she wrote on her blog” – drama staff.

Last November in Korea the movie “Heaven’s Postman” written by Kitagawa said Jaejoong was perfect for the “pure and naive image” and made Jaejoong the main character even though he hasn’t had a lot of acting experience. Continuing from that, he was probably picked as one of the cast.

Trouble filming due to the fans that filled the filming area!?

The fifth character is “a doctor that has pressure due to not being able to show good results”. (This is the character that Jaejoong is rumored to be playing) Some days ago Jaejoong came to Japan secretly and seemed to be finishing his final meeting and adjustments.

“There has been offers from many mass media to secretly have an interview.” – drama staff

Until the movie he did, he only had little experience in acting. He was an extra in the movie “Brother Hood”. But now he has a lot of attention and can grab interest of many towards the topic. Also since it is a continuous drama, they are watching out since fans may go to the filming area that is going to take place in Japan. “Last year, at the place where he filmed his movie, many Japanese and Korean fans filled the place and they had trouble filming.” – sports newspaper.

To Be Continued…………

[NEWS] Removal of Jaebum Backfires, News from the Korea Times newspaper!

Former 2PM leader Park Jaebum was branded as a "sinner" and kicked out of the popular idol group by its agency JYP Entertainment (JYPE).

However, the controversial removal of Jaebum is backfiring on 2PM and JYPE's president Park Jin-young as fans are turning their back on them.

Yet, the group swept music charts even after the Korean-American singer left 2PM in September amid disputes about negative comments he made about Korea on social networking site MySpace between 2005 and 2007.

But the group faces the biggest crisis ever since its debut, with some fans threatening to boycott 2PM minus Jaebum.

For an explanation for the expulsion of the young singer, JYPE said Jaebum did "something seriously wrong that is more serious than his MySpace controversy."

The agency said it and the six members came to an agreement that it was no longer possible for Jaebum to continue activities with 2PM. But they are refusing to disclose what kinds of transgressions he committed.

Jaebum's fans are up in arms over why he had to carry the scarlet letter. They are venting their anger against the remaining members for what they call the betrayal of Jaebum.

In a meeting with fans last week, the group said they had no other choice but to agree with the decision to permanently kick Jaebum out due to his "serious wrongdoing."

As his fans are protesting against 2PM and its agency, his mother has asked them to refrain from taking any action against them in a letter sent to the Jaebum fan club.

Underground, the association of Jaebum fan clubs, made the letter public on its Web site, Tuesday.

"Despite all kinds of rumors that could cause a person to despair, Jaebum has shown his normal self and allowed us to not despair but have hope," his mother said. "I feel a bit relieved as it's all over now, even though it was not a favorable end for him."

She expressed wishes that her son won't be the subject of issues in the future.

In turn, the fan site called for its members to respect her request.

"Jaebum and his family went through a difficult time dealing with various rumors over the last six months. They no longer want him to be an issue now," the fan club said in a statement. "Underground has decided to respect their wishes. Supporting what he and his family want is part of a fan's last act of love toward Jaebum."

But disputes are unlikely to subside. Some fans are turning against 2PM and posting items against them and their personal information on various Web sites and online cafes.

On top of shutting down online fan cafes voluntarily, some fans are posting video clips showing the burning of CDs and photos of 2PM members.

In reaction, JYPE filed a complaint against netizens with the police.

"Some netizens are spreading the six members' residential ID numbers and personal information illegally. To protect their privacy, we have referred the case to the police," it said in a statement.

The conflict between fans and the agency is likely to continue as long as Jaebum's wrongdoing remains a secret. They said the cloud hanging over 2PM will be cleared only when JYPE comes clean on why it kicked Jaebum out of the group.

[News] Choi Siwon is 35 years old mentally - Chae Rim

Chae Rim revealed "The precocious one, Choi Siwon, which psychological age is 35 years old, when he's only 25"

The actress, Chae Rim, has talked about the psychological age of a Super Junior member, Choi Siwon.

The photoshoot for the poster of the new drama "Oh~My Lady" starring Chae Rim and Choi Siwon, was broadcasted on March 2nd on the show "Good Morning" of the channel SBS.

"Oh~ My Lady" is basically a romantic comedy about an ordinary aunt who became the manager of a top star, where Siwon's casted as the top star, Sung Min Woo, and Chae Rim is casted as the musical production manager, Yoon Gae Hwa. Both, in the drama, will develop this "big sister and little brother" relationship. 

Facing the fact that Choi Siwon is actually younger than her by 8 years, Chae Rim said: "I don't really know if the difference of age is regarded relatively large here, but Choi Siwon is really precocious".

She also said the surprising statement that beside the fact that Siwon is 25 years old, his psychological age, however, is the one of a 35 years old person, which was followed by a sea of laughter on the site of the photoshoot. During the photography session, our two main leads were ear-whispering, talking about this and that. It seems that their relation is rather very good~

To conclude, the new korean drama "Oh~ My Lady" starring, Chae Rim and Choi Siwon, will be replacing the drama "Stars falling from the Sky" of the channel SBS broadcasted on Mondays and Tuesdays. Thus, the first episode will be aired on March 22nd.
