So we knew the scar always existed …
Though take a look at this for a second
What is up with the image? and i can’t help but wonder if the actual gun was really necessary on the stage? Is SM in some sort of real crisis making this despertato decisions lately?
Or could it be that SM is planning to sell these guys in some sort of gig? Are they making second season of “Time between Dog and wolf” by any chance? or are they thinking again with their little head that they are getting ready for the boys’ image for the US market or something!? In that case we suggest, while they are at it put the guys behind the bars for a while as well .. it will build up their resume! You know? Trying to fit into the music culture and all … it might come in handy!
I am telling you, just when we thought we saw it all ..
there comes something unheard of out of this industry!
Maybe that’s why we love it!
The ‘2008 Mnet KM Music Festival ‘(2008 MKMF) was held at the Seoul Jamsil Stadium at 7 p.m. on 15 November. Big Bang, Wonder Girls and Dong Bang Shin Ki won “Singer/Artist of the Year”, “Song of the Year”, and “Album of the Year” respectively.
In particular, much attention was on the idols who shed tears of joy. Both Ye Eun of Wonder of Girls and TVXQ!’s Changmin broke in tears.
Fans of the idol groups claimed that “I cried too! Them winning the awards were a result of their effort. Way to go!”

you want update, and we’re giving you a picture of people crying (heck, it’s a dude crying!). hope you’re satisfied.
but for real, aren’t there any other artists there?the k-ent keeps spinning around WG, BB, DBSK, and other candy-pop-sugar-group-singer-whatever-you-call-it and we’re getting tired of it.
and for Lily, who posted this comment on the previous post :

thing that you do..i suggest you actually

just quit. you suck at updating and don’t

Oh yeah, I can hear the fangirl screams as I type. TVXQ aka DBSK/DBSG/THSK/TVfXQ, yes every one of them, are back in action in Korea!
After a year and 7 months in the land of the rising sun, Japan, (and a large amount of success) they come back to blow away their desperate-for-Shinki-attention fans. On the 21st, DBSK held a showcase in front of Seoul City Hall for the fans. In this showcase the tired yet bulked up Shinkis (no complaints), blew people away with their strong dance moves and stellar vocals.
From the 20th people have been lining up to get the best view for the comeback. Oh the waste of newspapers, educate yourselves at least while you sit.
That is a relatively low turnout for a DBSK event, photo taken at 1830pm (show starts at 7pm).
This wonderful little showcase was first a pay for tickets type of event, but now the kind as ever SM Entertainment made it public access(!) Yay, they are so kind hearted. <3 Afterall the fans haven't waited that long to see them.
The DBSK men at the Press Conference before the event: Youngwoong Jaejoong enjoying what’s left of the Summer heat Oh dear, SM stylists and their choice of clothing materials I feel like giving Micky Yoochun some decent curlers. Although I strangely like his new hair, in motion.
Their first two songs “Hey” and “주문 (Mirotic)” were released earlier this week in their entirety. With the boys new look, it’s hard to call them boys and much rather label them men. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if the new word “Mirotic” actually stood for “Me Erotic”. Ahem, let’s move on. “Mirotic” apparently is a combination of the Chinese word for “maze” and the english “tic”, so the DBSK men basically want to trap you within their own music. Not bad really, considering the title track is a man telling his lady that she can’t leave him and that she is a “slave” for him. As a warning, this song is a grower and refuses to leave your head once it’s in.
The showcase opened in an explosive fashion, here are some stills: I personally don’t like still shots of dance sequence, so this is all I’m adding.
Thanks to one of our awesome readers. We’ve found the high quality version of the “주문 (Mirotic)” MV. Can you say “FINALLY”?!
DBSK will have their comeback performance on the 28th on SBS Inkigayo. The album shall be released on the 24th. Check out the following fancam for a shaky taste of their promotions.
Ignore the initial shakiness and the cameraman on stage.
Just for the sake of fun, I had to include the fancam of “Hey“, watch it just to see the Ajoushi dancemove at 1:00..
Now, tell me the Ajoushi move didn’t make you lol?
Delays seem to be constant, but really there is not much to cover anyhow. Nevertheless, here is the weekly round-up of last weeks news. (Monday 1st September to the Sunday 7th).
Ahn JaeHwans depressing death
Not many people know Ahn JaeHwan internationally, except perhaps that he is married to Comedian/DJ Jung SunHee. Nevertheless, this man was as funny and sweet as his wife. He took part in many variety shows and was loved by plenty, when he married Jung SunHee he seemed like the happiest man on Earth. Behind it though laid a sad human being that took his own life in seclusion. Ahn JaeHwan was missing for a month before his body was found in his own van, and he had been dead for nearly 2 weeks (10-15 days). This of course, is devastating news and this year has been a sad year in Celeb-dom. Ahn JaeHwan rest in peace and our heartfelt condolences are sent to his wife, family and friends.
2PM in the evenings… aaaahh… so that’s the secret to their energy…
2PM have finally debuted and they blew many a person away with their dance moves. When I watched their debut performance I couldn’t help but marvel at their dancing. I mean they were really well choreographed (what else do you expect from JYP), although the song is a little on the naughty side, I do like it. The dancing made it easier to stomach, it was more light-hearted. Their singing though, was as expected not that great since, a) it’s live and b) debut performances are hardly flawless. Looking forward to them getting used to the stage and blowing us all away with their more vocally-talented other halves…. 2AM.
Ya Shim Man Man making celebs dish since ever
Ya Shim Man Man is back, and oh has it been missed. Once again every episode seems to have celebs revealing a new secret or embarrassment. The first episode was aired on the 1st and Kim Heechul of Super Junior revealed a thing or two. Heechul revealed how after performances of “Don’t Don!” at the time of the Super Junior second album, he was told to scream his rock star scream at every performance. That very thing was the source of coughing blood after the performances. Can you say, damn? He also humorously added how he was asked if he was a “cyborg” at an airport because the metal detector kept on beeping, although he had no metal on him. The reason of course being that he has a metal rod in his leg, due to an accident a year or two ago. I can’t do his story telling justice, one must watch the show to truly enjoy it. Welcome back Ya Shim Man Man you were missed, and Kang Ho Dong is as cute as ever.
Another exciting comeback!
Oh yes, girls and boys alike can get excited with the comeback of Koreas favourite boyband, DongBangShinKi. The Dong Bang boys are on their way back to their motherland for their fourth album, it was announced last week. We can all expect their album released on the 24th of September. With their picture releases, one can tell that they are coming back with more of a raunchy manly image… bordering on strongly sexy. Girls may appreciate that the most… Music wise also goes along the lines of their image… Check out the teaser…
YounHa comeback performance Like a bowl of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes in the morning…
As long as we’re on the subject of comebacks, we need to mention YounHa. Her refreshing vocals and “different” style of mainstream is nice to listen to, and of course she is adorable. She made her own comeback performance last week on Mnet, showing how lively she is on stage and how well she can do live. Looking forward to more performances, and of course listening to her entire album. The Tablo (Epik High) collab I am keen on, and title track “Someday” is a good listen too.
Big Bang new album to hit Japan this October
Yup, Big Bang are releasing a Japanese album this October, as well as their Korean I gather. Big Bang seem seriously busy what with everyone doing something different, as well as promoting their mini album. Haru Haru is doing extremely well, and a well done to them for that. We wish them a lot of luck in their Japanese efforts, they have done well so far.
Spectrums…
The underground in South Korea is so much richer than it may seem. Although Kpop is interesting unto itself, the underground music scene boasts amazing talent. After all, Epik High were once under the Underground title themselves and look at how creative, talented and artistic their music is. EZ Hyoung is one of those talented people that need to emerge completely from the underground and be welcomed in to the mainstream. His vocals are soothing and touching, the video is artistic and absorbing. Two years of writing, composing and producing, at least deserve a look-see dont’cha think…
