Back again this week with an update on the most interesting happening of last week. Aren’t y’all glad you get all the news in one short burst?

I thought I would start this weeks segment with some happy news…

Yoo JaeSuk finally ties the knot

I don’t know about you guys, but I absolutely love this guy. He’s an unbelievably talented MC who never stops entertaining you no matter what he does. I would watch a show with him sitting in a garden shed all on his lonesome with only a juicer to entertain himself with. And I would know I would be laughing throughout. Yoo JaeSuk married announcer Na KyoungUn on the 6th this week, we wish the couple a long, happy and healthy life together.

Shin JungHwan injured

This week was somewhat happy since mostly celebrities managed to stay away from hospitals due to being overworked. And then we got word that lovable celebrity and funnyman Shin JungHwan was in an accident. Mr. Shin was riding his bicycle near his home in Seoul where he was forced to make an emergency turn to avoid an oncoming collision with a rushed vehicle. This resulted in multiple injuries to his forehead, pelvis, knee, and back. He has not taken part in his plentiful programs which he is a host and a regular, and it is not entirely clear when he shall continue his schedule. We hope Mr. Shin a quick recovery. Our television sets sure will miss him.

Is it just me, or are Korean celebrities kinda cursed? O_O

Wonder Girls far too popular

“How much do you like me?”

Apparently with the immense popularity of the Wonder Girls’ “So Hot”, Broadcasting stations are begging them to stop promoting the song in order to give other artists a ‘chance’ in getting the top spot. The idea that they’ve been asked to stop promoting it because of how popular it is, is quite amusing. Why can’t the other artists just up the ante and produce better music to challenge the top spot? That would be great for everyone, then perhaps the Korean Music Industry would come out of that God awful slump it’s in, and CDs will be worth buying.

In other news, the Wonder Girls have also started another dance trend this year, and the following UCC is proof, check out the so-called Kindergarten Teacher dancing to their current too popular single. (she strips off her trousers and shirt to reveal a leopard print top and hot pink shorts, it’s creating a buzz on the internet).

Oh JungHyuk, Korean Johnny Bravo

Damn. he’s pretty

Aptly named that by our very own soyboy, Ex- Click B member Oh JungHyuk returns with a new image. He seems to have bulked up a bit too, but nothing like the cartoon heart-throb we know and love. His music has seemed to take a turn for the better too, the song sets the summer mood, check it out.

How awesome is Seouls’ club scene gonna be this Summer?

Sexy Diva updates

Uhm JungHwa and Lee HyoRi were set for a Summer Comeback, and it really is starting to sizzle. Lee HyoRi is somewhat lagging in her release, but as we covered earlier this week, JungHwa has blown us away and has clearly taken the lead in the Sexy Diva Showdown. Hyori released the teasers officially, and I’m sure they’re still after the guy that released them, damn his smarts, (if only he left some breadcrumbs for them to follow). Uhm JungHwa although ageing well, seems to have misplaced her contacts. What in the hell is up with those orange bangs?

And there’s also another new Boy Band to look forward to, ‘U-Kiss’…

JYP’s long-time trainee Jo Kwon, and members from Mnet’s “Hot Blood Boys” Lim Seul Ong, Jung Jin Woon, Lee Chang Min have come together in a new boyband: 2AM. Will this boy group wake me up at 2AM to find myself drooling on my pillow or sweating from a nightmare? We’ll see…

(pictured: Jo Kwon)

Many netizens are eagerly anticipating one particular group member - Jo Kwon. In July 1, 2001 Jo Kwon was discovered on JYP’s star search program and have since trained for 8 years and showed his many talents on Mnet’s “Hot Blood Boys” in January 2008. Wondergirls’ leader SunYe who has become an idol star in Korea and G-Soul who is preparing for his debut with a collaboration with R.Kelly were both recruited from the same program. Jo Kwon will be joining three other members from Mnet’s “Hot Blood Boys”, which means that JYP probably gave up on the idea of making a ridiculously large boy group to challenge SM’s Super Junior.

But wait. CUBE Entertainment is taking charge of 2AM as their management group. So JYP isn’t debuting this new boyband? You mean JYP sold these boys over to CUBE?! I’ll let you ruminate over this perplexing issue. (And I’ll clarify once I get more info.) Anyway, CUBE entertainment said, “2AM will be made up of 4 members focused on music, and they will show a variety of talents and passion that they have accumulated over their long trainee experience.

JYP also left a congratulatory message to Kwon, saying “Congratulations Kwon. You have fought and overcome 2567 days and have succeeded just by the fact that you will stand on stage.”

2AM will make their first live performance on KBS Music Bank on July 11.

Check out Jo Kwon’s talents and see if he can wake you up at 2AM.

Shinhwa released a limited ‘White Edition‘ repackaged album along with the music video for their new song, “Destiny of Love,” on July 4. The ‘White Edition‘ is a repackaged version of Shinhwa’s 9th album, which ranked 1st in album sales for 2008, surpassing the 100,000 mark in a little over 1 month after its release (all without promotions!).

Their new song “Destiny of Love” is about a sad farewell, alluding to Shinhwa’s own departure from their fans as members will start to leave for military service by the end of this year. The song was written by Shin Hye Sung and composed by Lee Minwoo. The music video was made in commemoration of their 10th Anniversary Concert as a reminder to their loyal fans of their everlasting love.
