[News] 2pm opens up at their concert: 'It was hard for us too'


Former member Jaebeom and SNSD’s Seohyun each became people of interests at the 2PM concert and the CN Blue concert, respectively.
2PM had their first concert on July 31 at 7pm at the Seoul Olympic Stadium. At the concert, they told their fans about their thoughts on Jay leaving.

This was the first time they have spoken about Jay since March when Jay left. After their opening performance, the group used the oversized screen in the back to say, “We know you guys suffered. It was hard for us, too. But we were able to overcome the challenge because of you.” Chansung also added, “Thank you. We love you.”

On the same day, Seohyun gained interest when she visited CN Blue’s concert. She cheered him on from the back of the 2nd floor to not gain attention. After enjoying the 2 hour long concert, she left before the encore song due to the attention she was receiving.

[NEWS] Lee Kikwang states, “I want to have a meal with f(x)'s Victoria" on Hot Brothers


Lee Kikwang from BEAST showed an interest to f(x) member Victoria.

On the episode of MBC broadcasted on the first was centered around the theme of ‘Do not get angered’ and each of the members, Tak Jaehoon, Park Myungsoo, Kim Koora, Han Sangjin, Park Hwisoon, Simon D (SamD), and Lee Kikwang had a chance of cornering others into sticky situations.

On this day, Lee Kikwang had been asked the question ‘Who is your favorite member in girl group’ by Park Myungsoo at first, and passed the question quickly by stating, “I love all female groups.”

However, when Kim Koora started to corner him as the ‘Euja King’ (T/N: ‘Euja King’ was a King in history associated with having 3,000 women), Lee Kikwang eventually stated, “I think Victoria from f(x) is very beautiful.

In addition, he supported his claim with, “I saw her appear on this one program and I think she is very naïve and that she gives off a fresh charm.” But Park Myungsoo started to shower him with uncomfortable questions like, “Will you date Victoria if she wanted to date you?”

Lee Kikwang ended up saying, “I will at least have a meal with her,” and in order to get Lee Kikwang even madder, Park Myungsoo started to mention Lee Kikwang’s short height by adding comments like, “Do you know how tall Victoria is?”

[News] 4Minute's special message to Japanese fans who attended their fan meeting



Recently, it has been reported that 4Minute had a Fan Meeting event yesterday at Tokyo in relation to their celebration for the release of their second single entitled 'I My Me Mine.'

4Minute as well as all the staff were so overwhelmed with the large population of people who attended on the event, and for that, the girls, except HyunAh, who happened to leave earlier than the members because of the extreme heat, sent their affectionate messages through mobile phone.



Here are the things that they have said:




Jiyoon: "Hehehe! Thanks a lot for all the people who went on today's event! It's really good for you guys to know us better on stage! Hehehe! Are we going to meet again on the next event? I'd be bad if I cheat! Hehehe! I love you!"



Gayoon: "Thank you very much for attending today's second single's event! I was so impressed on how many people attended the event! Without all your support our performance wouldn't be that great! Everyone was so hyped singing with us! They are full of strength~!
We're very excited for tomorrow's events in Osaka and Nagoya! We will meet again right? Hihihi! Please don't forget to bring water with you tomorrow!"




SoHyun: "Hehehe! Hello. Hehehe. Today's event was really touching. I don't know. There are so many of you who came... Thank you so much! Today's event is something I will never ever forget! So from now on, please show more interest on seeing us, 4Minute, on stage!
Again, thank you for coming despite of too much heat! Hehehe. Everyone, I love you! hehe. I feel Fu. Chutchu."


Yet again, the staff and the production apologize for not having HyunA finish the Handshake event due to her body's reaction on the extreme heat of the sun.

May all the Japanese fans continue to support them on their next activities!

Son Dambi is back in Inkigayo with "Queen" this week.

Also, during her performance, the MC's Yonghwa, Jo Kwon and Sulli can't help but dance with her on the choreo on her chorus, I find her choreo really catchy as well.

Another round of performances by Son Dambi this week, and I must say I really love her outfits for her concept.

[video] Narsha is back with Bbi Ri Bba Bba on Inkigayo


She's back on the stage once again and this will be her last stages for "Bbi Ri Bba Bba". She will be promoting "mamma mia" next after a week of rest.

Taeyang is back in Inkigayo this week!

This time with a fresher look and a change of costume for the back up dancers, also did you notice they change their choreography a bit? Added a little spice and I must say, when Taeyang "Kissed" Ji Hye's cheek I just can't help but scream and cover my eyes. =D

Check out his performance:

[video] SHINee sings Lucifer on Inkigayo


After their strong comeback performance last week, they are back once again on Inkigayo to heat up the stage.

Despite Minho still unable to dance with them, I can tell Minho is itching to dance in that stage with the rest of SHINee, perhaps next week?

They are back with a stronger and I must say sexier image, I totally love their black outfits today and Taemins hair also Key's really nice eye make up!

Check out their hot performance here:

[video] Chae Yeon sings Look Look Look at Inkigayo


Chae Yeon sure is lucky! Before she was introduced by SHINee on the interview where Onew even sung her song for a bit, this week, Se7en introduced her on the interview! Such perfect timings!

Anyways, she is back again with "Look Look Look" and her outfit today is really sexy. She did a great job and the song is really catchy!

[video] Gilme is sorry that I love you with K.Will on Inkigayo


Gilme performs "Im sorry that i love you" this week on Music core featuring K.Will.

[News] Donghae “I cried because of Heechul hyung”


Super Junior’s member Donghae revealed the truth that he had cried because of Heechul hyung when he participate in the MBC show “The Quiz that Changed the World”

Donghae said “Heechul hyung started activities as an actor, and always felt that he changed, so I felt very sad”, “then i told Heechul hyung ‘Hyung, you seemed to change, is different from the past, I don’t want to face a hyung like this’, after saying it, because I was too upset, I cried out. In the end, Heechul hyung told me ‘yeah, I felt that I changed a little too, thanks for reminding me’”, and this caused the whole group to find back the initial group-work spirit that they had.

Yesung said “Donghae is already a cry-baby, even if we joke with him he will also cry angrily”, and so Donghae imitated himself crying, causing everyone to laugh.

Lee Hyun and Changmin debuts with their duet "Homme" on Inkigayo this week.

Their duet was as usual, spectacular. Their voices blended really well and all I can say is that I really had fun watching them perform together, they have the energy and the awesome stage presence that is just awesome to watch.

[video] MBLAQ sings for one better day in Inkigayo


MBLAQ shed's off their charismatic beastly image from "Y" into something more happier and carefree for their next song "One better day".

They performed really well and you can tell they were enjoying it while performing, a much happier song and the guys were more carefree while performing. I really was dancing on my seat with their catchy choreography.

[video] 4minute sings for Road Safety Song


Last week, we saw SHINee's funny and cute Road Safety Song, this week it's 4minute's turn.

They did a pretty good job with the song as well and I bet their fans are missing them for they are currently in Japan promoting their first Japanese single.

[video] G.NA performs I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better with BEAST DooJoon


This week, G.Na was a contender for the mutizen being part of Take 7, just for a rookie artist that's pretty good already.

Today she performed "I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better" this time with DooJoon of BEAST. She was great as usual and I really like her outfit today.
