Back again this week with an update on the past weeks’ news, events and gossip. This week in terms of news was somewhat slow, but keeps us anticipated for what’s to come. Check out our own news compilation:

Kim JangHoon still in Hospital

The gold hearted legend that is Kim JangHoon, has been admitted to hospital and is there to this day. On the 28th he was performing in his “SoHaean Festival” which was in support of the West Coast Oil Spill residents in Taean, which is till plaguing them to this day. While performing in the middle of the stage, it started to rain and Mr. JangHoon slipped. He couldn’t get up again, and it was later revealed that he had fainted and was sent to the emergency room in a nearby hospital. Kim JangHoon has been in the business for years, donating a percentage of his profits through out his career to innumerable charities and graced the stage with plenty of the new generations best loved stars. We hope he gets better and takes a good rest.

It’s starting to get frustrating the amount of celebrities weekly being admitted to hospital due to exhaustion. He joins this weeks other exhauastee Micky Yoochun of DBSK. I’m thinking of dedicating an entire section of this weekly segment just for this. It is after all a recurring theme.

WonderBang

A lot of this week’s news surrounds teen idol groups, Wonder Girls and Big Bang.

Two of the Wonder Girls girls are proving that they can multi task like no other. As well as promoting their own group Single “So Hot”, SunYe and YeEun are featuring on Mighty Mouth’s “Energy” and OneTwos “Bad Girl” respectively. They’re also riding high in the charts, in their 4th consecutive week as Number 1. JYP must be dancing the “Tell Me” in celebration. Here’s the Singles Chart for this week. Credits go to edward1849 of Soompi.

-June Week 4-
1. Wonder Girls - So Hot.
2. Tae Yang - 나만 바라봐 (Watching Only You)
3. SHINee - 누난 너무 예뻐 (Noona’s Pretty (Replay))
4. V.O.S - Beautiful Life
5. SG Wannabe - 라라라 (LaLaLa)
6. Gavy NJ - Lie
7. Jewelry - 모두 다 쉿! (Everybody Shhh!)
8. MC Mong - 서커스 (Circus)
9. Kim Jong Wook - 그대만이 (My Only)
10.Super Junior Happy - 요리왕 (Cooking? Cooking!)

Big Bang has also been riding high in the news, not to be outdone by their female counterparts.

T.O.P is accepting acting gigs.

It seems he’s been cast in the Drama “I.R.I.S“, set in the states where T.O.P is an undercover detective hunting an assassin. Besides the plot being very ambitious and the production costs being over 20 million Dollars, it shocks me that they would cast such an inexperienced actor in a lead role. But it seems that talent is never really an issue nowadays. T.O.P was previously cast in the mini-drama ‘I am Sam‘ with Yang DongGun. His acting was somewhat bland in that, let’s hope he does a better job this time.

DaeSung cast in world famous musical.

‘Cats‘ the well loved musical has been translated in to Korean and will start its rounds in Seoul in September. DaeSung of Big Bang was cast as Rum Tum Tugger, the ladies man of ‘Cats’. For some reason I really doubt that DaeSung knew what he was getting in to. For one, he needs to wear LYCRA, get face painted to death and shake his pelvis like no other. If you guys don’t know the Rum Tum Tugger, check out this youtube clip and get well acquainted.

Now I cant wait to see that performance. I wonder if the V.I.Ps are eager to see it too.

You don’t have to be seen to be Number 1

Brown Eyes have made their comeback in the form of a new album. The management companies that use the “spread your artists around real thin” for publicity angle must be angry, since Brown Eyes are nowhere to be seen and their album sold a respectable 15,000 copies since its release the previous Thursday to the last. Its bizarre to me how a number 1 spot in singles goes to a group like the Wonder Girls and the album top spot goes to Brown Eyes, they just seem like polar opposites to me. The Korean Music Industry is ever surprising.

Tribute to Jewelry

Son DamBi, Bae SeulGi, Brown eyed girls’ GaIn and Joo

Besides this quartet being the most random group of all time, the ridiculousness doesn’t end there. They will be laying tribute to Jewelry this coming week on Music Bank. Why they’ve picked this particular four I do not know, but apparently the higher ups at Music Bank think Jewelry are more worthy of a cover than perhaps, Fin.K.L, Baby V.O.X (without the bloody ReV) and S.E.S. Worse yet, they’re covering “One More Time”. So please don’t make any plans this Friday, make sure you catch Music Bank, if you’re not wowed by the performances I’m sure you’ll be laughing. Son DamBi is getting busy lately with anything and everything under the sun, besides living up to her ‘Female Rain’ hype. She’s featuring on Sung SiKyung new music video as his love interest and heats it up with a kiss scene. A hard day’s work for Son DamBi.

Channel S

It’s difficult enough in South Korea to download music, search for pictures and view videos, and for that reason, the new technology saviours that are Channel SBSi and SM Entertainment have concocted a new revolutionary service called ‘Channel S’. Yes, of course this is not another ploy to get money; it’s a gift to the unresourceful public. I’m being sarcastic of course. This is a new system for mobile phone users that provides them with pictures, videos, ring tones, shows and all the other things you don’t need on your mobile, strictly SM and SBS related. The commencement ceremony took place on the 25th June and SHINee and Super Junior Happy were present. It’s available now and I’m sure it’s going to be insanely popular.

Dongducheon Rock Festival

We gave you news last week of the Seo Taiji’s comeback Rock festival, but now there seems to be competition. Dongducheon Rock Festival is taking place on August 15th to 17th, which is the same time ETPfest is supposed to be taking place; both are annual summer rock festivals. International as well as national stars will be contributing to this festival as well. The line-up includes artists such as Moon HeeJun, N.EX.T, Guyz, Crying Nut, Dr Core 911, Vanilla Unity, Cherry Filter, Boohwal, Transfixion, Maya, Super Kidd and many more. The only downside to this is picking which festival to attend.

It’s also great news that Epik High are preparing a new single for this coming Autumn.

This hasn’t been posted anywhere official yet, but over at the daum bulletin boards, Cassioppeias’ are outraged.

Micky Yoochun of DBSK was taken to the hospital on the 26th of June after vomiting after filming. He was taken to the hospital and made to rest, meanwhile cancelling all the rest of his daily schedule.

It seems that the reason for his illness is overwork and not eating meals on time, or at all.

It’s not clear where or how the Korean Cassioppeias got their news, but I think from past experience they are quite a reliable source.

Recently, plenty of stars have been sent to the hospital for exhaustion, (just last week MC Mong, Lee DaHae and Big Bangs’ TaeYang were admitted to hospital for just that reason), and it’s bordering on inhumane from their management companies. I have heard of plenty of stars being sent to the hospital after fainting, but waiting for someone to start puking before getting them checked out is ridiculous.

These management companies need to stop thinking about making the most money as possible and realise that they’re stars are only human beings and need to be taken care of accordingly.

Health and mental well being will elongate a stars career, allow them to perform better and thus create more opportunities to gain money. Management companies are solely responsible for their health and must see it as their number one priority.

I recently watched an interview with the Brown Eyed Girls and they were saying how before their concerts they had to get IV injections. Stars shouldn’t carelessly inject Ringer’s solution into their body just to have enough strength to move on. This is the epitome of human exploitation and slavery. When has the entertainment industry become a market for human trafficking?

Shape up SM, YG, JYP, DSP and all other management companies with their stars frequently visiting hospitals. If you continue to wear them out, they won’t last any longer, and your livelihood and theirs will be at stake.

And on a final note, get better Micky Yoochun.

DBSK and K-Pop fans of old and new, you all heard, seen, and loved the ‘Rising Sun’ song sang and danced by one of Asia most well known boybands, DBSK. Apparently too well known. What happens when you add the song with 5 boys from Vietnam?

This is what you get:

First thing that when through my mind when I saw this: What da FOOK?

Second thing: Wooow. They can NOT sing.

Third thing: What da FOOK?

Things that stuck out:

1. Lyrics. Asdfghjkl;’ I am so use to the Jap/Krn version that I just stared at my monitor with my mouth twitching.
2. Fobby Engrish. Yes, we all know about SYP’s Engrish, but this is a tad bit much.
3. Max Changmin’s high note edited into the performance. Anyone with a pair of semi-functioning ears could tell.
4. Lack of vocals. My semi-functioning ears have just combusted into nothingness.
5. Lack of backup dancers. (and dance moves) It just doesn’t give the full effect.
6. The guy that had the weird orange Yakuza-member hairdo was mad fugly. Of course in this industry, it’s not like looks matter or anything. [/sarcasm]

Apparently they call themselves 535 and claim that this song was composed by Huynh Hoai Phong. Erm, right. I really hope they meant the lyrics. Lawsuit, anyone?

Lets see the MV (again for most of us) to regain our lost minds.

Here’s the link:

P.S. Whoops. No harm and/or offense intended. ^^;

All the negatively from a charity concert really does bring a person down, don’t you think? With all the raping and stabbing and what not, what good really came out of the concert?

THE PERFORMANCES! That’s what! The performances by the artists shows what the Dream Concert was all about!

Lets start with the Red Carpet

DBSK was sadly not seen at the RC…but check out these other hot stars!

Shinee

You almost forget that they’re a new boyband because there has been so much media towards them! It almost doesn’t feel quite right for them to be performing at the concert since they’re so new, but hell, Lee Soo Man has his ways. (But what’s with their shoes…? I mean, you hear of band conformity, but isn’t that a bit too much..?)

Epik High

SS501

You don’t have to be SNSD’s #1 enemy to like them, #2 is pretty okay, too.

Super Junior

Poor Siwon got hurt, so he was there. Although the rest of them looked pretty sleek in all black. (Yes Suju fans, it is indeed the original 13 – 12 since Siwon wasn’t there, but you catch my drift)

SNSD

In order to keep this post as anti free as possible, I have no comment on them other than: I bet you Bonerifics and Delusionfuls are having quite a hoot staring at them, aren’t ya’?

MC Mong

Me gusta his pose and whatever the hell he’s wearing!

Jewerly

Seriously not digging the bowl cut.

Wonder Girls

I’m not too excited about Ye Eun’s and dress, but the rest of them look pretty good. Sohee is a cute little dumpling and Sun Ye is looking “so hot-hot”! (Yoonbin just looks like she’s been out in the sun for about 8 hours)

Popping Hyunjoon

Mighty Mouth

I could either say nothing at all, or say something really mean. Therefore I chose the latter:
Outfits need to go. Now. And grow some hair boy.

A’ST1

Nothing much to say about them. Music’s pretty good, that’s all.

Perfomances

Opening - SMTown (Suju + SNSD + Shinee)

watch?v=SI5Ceek7WLo

Shinee

One of the better performances of the concert! F-f-f;asssshyy….ganstuuuuh.

watch?v=8IT0IALS4pE

Wonder Girls

watch?v=GlDEuJnlD44

Oh no~ Please leave me alone~ xD Not to crazy about the outfits, but loving the song~
Just wish Sun Ye didn’t wore those pants…she needed to be “seckushyy” like the rest of girls.
(Seckushy, new term, learn it.)

Super Junior

Yesung and his pants. XD

ALL 13!

watch?v=MsEnWCKDHwI

DBSK

Min: MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~ I loooove you~~~~~

Oh yes. Rip it.

Is Yoochun giving Su an orgy…? xD

Be~au~ti~ful~~

watch?v=0RWhyygvuoM
watch?v=w8tXFFje_ew

I don’t know which was better…the 08 or the 07 performances. Whoa. These boys never fail to amaze me!

To sum everything up in one sentence: Yoosu is love, Jae’s arms are wonderful, Changmin ain’t a boy no ‘mo, and Yunho is sex. (Bite me for my grammar)

SNSD

If I ever wore anything that short, my daddy won’t hesitate to kill me!

watch?v=YB-9hVvmyYw

Meh. Once again, no comment.

SS501

watch?v=muyWCt8r_y0

And the highlight of the show~

*laughs* sorry for the fangirlism! See, if you look at the brighter side of things, you realize that they 2008 Dream Concert wasn’t as bad as it seemed! Sure the fans got riled up and other what-nots, but these concert itself was a success. People are forgetting that this is indeed a charity concert for orphans and it accomplish its objective. THEREFORE, the concert was GREAT!

Now, the moment of fear finally arrived!
We tried to warn you against the SNSD all this time but no one listened …
SAMSUNG CF came along .. people called it business …

Finally, in Hollywood bowl 2008 in more than one or two occasions fans randomly stumbled upon dating-like behavior between Junsu and SNSD’s Leader TaeYeon!

EDIT:

^ picture is released from KOREAN MEDIA
Visit the link for more pictures:
http://news.empas.com/board/bbs/read.html?b=native&a=504374

The couple were seen around a mall hanging out together alone …
Fan accounts (more than one or two) having it that she had her arms around his waist and he had his arms on her shoulder while exploring the shopping mall … Junsu was told that at some point even grabbed on TaeYeon’s Cheek (?) then on the concert night .. people noticed during the “Balloon” performance Junsu got closer to her on the stage, the event was called off by Brian Joo who personally walked into the stage and demanded TaeYeon to move away from Junsu and stand in front of the stage .. all the facial exchanges between almost all the DBSK memebers shows something is just off! at the end of the performance the two had some sort of an half-ass high five that caught everyone’s attention .. then again while leaving the stage the two were still walking next to one another and then TaeYeon were seen giving Junsu a pat on the back or something ..

All of these events came with pictures that confirmed the occasions!
However, in the fear of spreading the rumors to Korean news all the pictures were removed by the fans! Videos were deleted TT__________TT!

But i found this just now ..
Not sure how long before this one gets removed too

Reactions from the fans, however, were any where from the two being merely a sunbae or oppa taking care of a dongsaeng kinda relationship, sweet mutual love to be possibility of publicity stunt!

Despite all the protections from the international fans ..
Korean news already got hold of the news ..
Here is the translation of one of the news in the Korean news!

Two idol groups at their peak, their members are rumored to be dating.

Recently there has been a speculation among the netizens that DBSK’s Xiah Junsu and SNSD’s Taeyeon are dating. These two have been caught on camera.

A photo shows the two holding hands as they come down from the stage after the final performance. However, the picture is so poor in quality that no one is sure what exactly was captured on camera.

People have commented by saying “Are they really dating?”, “it looks that way because of the angle”, “you can hold hands even if you aren’t dating, you could be good friends”; this has generally been the reaction to the photo in question.

The words “Xiah Junsu and Taeyeon” have not been seen in the top places of search ranks as of yet.

After the concert DBSK guys are all gone missing~!!!!
As of now .. none of the members where seen back in Korea!
Rumors has it that the members were hopped on some bus to Las Vegas!
Other rumors has it that they were checked into some hotel under fake names
that explains the reason why there is no clue of where they might be as of now!
Some rumors has it that they are currently in NYC (?)

NONE OF THE SOURCES FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE USERS ARE BEING CREDITED
DO NOT ASK FOR ANY FURTHER INFORMATION!
The PICTURES ARE FROM THE KOREAN SOURCES!
SHENYUEPOP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RUMOR
WE ARE MERELY REPORTING ON WHAT IS GOING ON FOR DAYS IN DBSK, SNSD AND HOLLYWOOD BOWL 2008 FAN FORUMS AND NOW IN THE KOREAN MEDIA!
