The boy with a girl’s voice Ajoo is back with his mini album, Paparazzi, out on July 3rd. The EP is supposed to show his “mature” vocal, according to STAM Entertainment. Exactly, previously in 1st Kiss he sounded like a 13 year old girl, now he sounds like a 13 and a half. It’s all still the little girl voice, Ajoo dear. Maybe you should try some hormone shot to bring out the man in you. And no fuckin way a boy who poses like this relates to anything MATURE :
it’s like saying Suju Boys finally growing into men. dream on.
Track Listing:
1.PAPARAZZI (Feat. Younha, Tae Won a.k.a C-Luv)
2.Lady Lady
3.Crazy Love (Feat. Hyunmu (Of Trespass))
4.Mureup Ggulgo
5.PAPARAZZI (Instrumental)
6.Mureup Ggulgo (Instrumental)
Title track “Paparazzi” was written by Younha, based on her personal experience with a stalker in Japan. She also did a vocal featuring on the song, which explains why there are two girls’ voice on “Paparazzi”.
Lady Lady
무릎 꿇고
Paparazzi feat. Younha
Crazy Love feat HyeonMu

Tell me if that Lady Lady song doesn’t remind you of The Moffats.
(now don’t hit me too hard, i’m just trying to help his album promotion here..i mean if you missed The Moffats, why don’t you get this album..)
Making of the MV
Paparazzi MV
oh, wait, i have to say something nice about him, cos..well just because he looks so cute, and it’s not his fault that he has the squeaky voice and his company chooses to burst this lousy “Mature” concept which is whackable. The nice thing i’m trying to say is Ajoo indeed wrote a song for this album, “On My Knee” (the Mureup Ggulgo, i guess), a good ballad for your lullaby. Not nice enough?well at least i tried. Oh let me try one more time : I’m not sure if there’s anyone pulls a shitty attempt to sound like a Jamaican on Crazy Love, but i like that song.

Shenyuepop prides itself in how fast the news drops in our forums, and it seems that you guys here in the blog are a deprived of condensed, up-to-date news. So here is a recap of the last 7 days in K-Entertainment. (For those who didn’t realize that Shenyuepop has a forum, you’ve missed out.)
Kim HyunJoong cast as Hanazawa Rui in Korean ‘Hana Yori Dango’:
Now whoever said reality Tv is only 15 minutes of fame and then history is probably wishing he lived in Korea. Because evidently, that’s not the case in good old Seoul. The celebrities in these ubiquitous reality shows are gaining immense popularity and plenty of offers for great gigs. Now before anyone mentions it, we know it’s not ‘finalized’, but releasing the news on practically all news sites and newspapers tells you that they have cast him but are checking on the public response first. Poor ‘Group Eight’ has been planning this remake of the Jdrama for a while now and wants to make sure that people will tune in, no matter how ‘mediocre’ the acting may be. No one else is officially cast and it will be broadcast early next year on KBS.
SS501 Number 2 in Oricon Daily Chart
Staying on course of the SS501 members it seems that they’re finally seeing the fruits of their labours and scored an impressive Number 2 on the Daily Oricon Charts. Well done boys, though I do wonder how well they speak Japanese.
Lee Hyori wants to catapult herself into a Pop Art icon
Hyori tries to pull off a vintage, pop art feel. Instead, she puts Andy Warhol to shame and ends up looking kitsch.
As well as scoring a great Vidal Sassoon CF where she practically gets all hair products for free and a guarantee for great looking locks all through out the rest of the year, Sister Hyori has had still images of her MV leaked as well as the audio. This is a great shame since of course, it was meant to be officially released in a few more days. Now news has it that Mnet (Lee Hyori’s Management) are super duper unbelievably mad at the leak and swear on their souls that they’re going to catch the guy that did it. Lucky for them that this leakage gives a little extra publicity to her mildly anticipated Summer Comeback. News also has it that Hyori’s a little upset, and with all that tough filming in gorgeous Hawaii, who can blame her?
Who hasn’t been to the hospital lately in the K-Entertainment world? It seems like stars left, right and center are finding themselves bitten by that dreadful fatigue bug. For a small country they really know how to get all they want from their stars, wearing them out and forcibly sending them to the hospital inorder to rest. Latest victims to this horrible celeb virus are MC Mong, actress Lee Dahae and Big Bang’s TaeYang.
Military Men
Yes, Military men - past, present and near future- are making their rounds in the celeb news circuit this week, and here’s what they’ve been up to.
Singer Sung SiKyung is doing the usual Pre-military man activity boost, where he’s practically everywhere at once. Saucy nerd SiKyung is not only releasing a new album before he parts with his fans, but he also has a now Sold-out concert to croon his way in to hearts that won’t forget him for two years. He also managed to clear that unbelievable scandal he supposedly had with Jewelry star Seo In-Young. Hands up to who ever heard of it and/or believed it.
Singer Eru who hasn’t left the Entertainment scene for that long, posted pictures of himself while performing his patriotic duty at his probably exhausting desk job. It’s understandable that he would be bored since he just sits at a desk all day. I mean don’t all guys that go to the military do that? Yes, I’m being sarcastic. The star doesn’t understand that it’s not just another day at the office but his military service. So I guess its understandable too that netizens gave him a stern chiding, to the extent that poor Eru had to apologise on his personal homepage. Oh Eru, what do they say about idle thumbs?
Kim Jong Kook, the singer freshly out of the military is keeping his already impatient fans still waiting on his comeback album, as he is putting off the recording for a wedding. Not his, but friend MC Yoo Jaesuk. He promised to sing at his wedding and canceled his already booked flights just to stay faithful to that promise. How sweet.
Return of A Legend
It’s been something some fans have been waiting years for, and it’s completely justified. Seo Taiji is finally making his comeback this summer and this week it was announced that he will have some absolutely killer artists lined up to perform at his Music Festival, also staged as his comeback. The ETPFest scheduled for the 16th of August in Seoul is organised by Seo Taiji’s company and have lined up a large array of National and International artists. Clazziquai were confirmed this week for the gig on the eve of the festival. Marilyn Manson is also coming to Korea to scare the land of the morning calm.

Tablo (with his hot Engrish name, Daniel Armand Lee..hmm..) is currently in love … with Ajoo’s voice. At least that was what he said (or read from the script) at the KBS Music Bank Show on Feb 22nd , where Tabloo is the MC of the show.
Ajoo Debut performance
Tablo has said, “Music fans were also all-praise for the new singer and posted comments like “He’s got vocals that can’t be easily heard from guys,” “He’s like a comet that appeared in the male solo singer market,” and “His style and vocals are fresh” in music sites like Melon and Dosirak and fan sites.”
Meanwhile, STAM Entertainment, A-JOO’s label, commented that A-JOO’s voice is a product of a 6-year training.
*cough* 6 years????? *cough*

If you are looking at that picture above and thinking that she is cute well…….you should be saying hell he looks too cute to be a guy. Yes that’s right A-Joo is a dude a-really-too-cute-to-be-guy-dude.
Today (or yesturday in Korea) is his debut the day of love, which is not a bad strategy to go by especially if you are trying to get all the young girls’ eyes and hearts away from the other well-known male solo singers and boy-bands. But will this work? I mean what exactly does this A-Joo guy has to offer besides letting us feel bad that another Korean guy looks better than we do.
A-Joo trained for 6 years under the label STAM Entertainment the same label Younha is under. Younha gave A-Joo a lot of support even becoming his piano teacher.
click for full size
A-Joo’s company is going to great lengths to put him into the spotlight, even going as far as to look for fans of his. The guy just debuted and they already were looking for fans…..um seems like someone is stepping ahead of themselves. The program called Mnet show “Ajoo’s Suspicious FanClub” is the search for fans of this yet(when it aired); now debuted A-Joo. The show is online at Mnet.com, but you will have to download some software to watch it.
EDIT: i found a video at youtube of his Mnet show…
Little side info: The song 1st Kiss was written by Park Hwayobi, she got the idea for the song from A-Joo very own lips (makes you think about what exactly does this song mean besides kissing, and to them….mmmmm very suspicious).
Note to Shenyuepop readers: you can now download his debut single in the forum.
1ST KISS MV
Fan Cam(First KissMV)
(he is just dancing all over the place, and what is up with the Justin Timberlake song.lolololololol)
Well in my opinion he is good for looks but singing wise……..it will probably take me a few times listening to his song to get a real idea if I like his voice or not.
But what do you guys think ….will A-Joo succeed or just be another pretty face?
