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…
Now with the Top 10 of the last week, thanks to Edward1849 of Soompi.
Weekly Music Chart- September Week 1
1. Big Bang – 하루하루 (Day By Day))
2. Seo In Young – 신데렐라 (Cinderella)
3. Cool – 사랑을 원해 (I Want Love)
4. Seo Tai Ji – MOAI
5. Kim Gun Mo – Kiss
6. Lee Hyori – U-Go-Girl
7. Davichi – 사랑과 전쟁 (Love and War)
8. Kara – Rock U
9. 2AM – 이 노래 (This Song)
10.Uhm Jung Hwa (feat. T.O.P) – D.I.S.C.O
After being on hiatus for so long…I’ve decided to take a stab at writing the 7-Day Relay and do something around here. Usually, it’s noonoo_shoo who writes it but just for this week, it’ll be me … so I hope everyone will enjoy this post ^^
DBSK’s popularity still takes over
Does the picture look familiar…but with some certain people missing?? Yeah, it’s a picture of the Grand Canyon but without DBSK in it! And why isn’t DBSK in the picture?? It’s because I had a chance to visit the Grand Canyon about a week and a half ago and it was awesome, though I got a sunburn and I would totally love to write a whole review on my trip, but that’s not what I’m here for today!! With a comeback coming up later this year, the boys have just made another remarkable bang in the entertainment industry. Some pictures of the boys’ new photo book have been released all over the internet, and I’m sure most of you have already seen them. Released on July 21st, on Yesasia, had already sold all the copies of the two-versioned photobook! I guess it shows just how popular the boys are, even though they’ve been away from the Korean music scene for over a year.
While over in Japan, the boys new single, ‘Doushite Kimi Wa Suki Ni Natte Shimattan Darou?’, has hit #1 on the Weekly Oricon Charts for 3 straight weeks, breaking the record as the first foreign group to achieve it! As an ambassador of Universal Studios Japan, the amusement park has a new ride dedicated to the boys. Hollywood Dream the Ride is the new roller coaster at USJ and the song ‘Box in a Ship’, the other song from the new single, will be used for the ride! Also, stamps of the boys will be given out. Don’t you just wish this was at the Universal Studios in Hollywood just so you could be closer and actually have a bigger chance of going just for the ride?? Because I do!
From high school drop out to Stanford graduate to Epik High member, Tablo is going back to his Stanford days. He’ll be publishing a collection of short stories that he wrote way back in his college days. Tablo, who celebrated his 28th birthday on the 22nd, said that the stories will be a “diverse range of cityfolk” and that 10 of his stories will be translated into Korean, for the Korean folks…and there isn’t a title for the book yet.
On a side note, is having a concert tour, with Seoul being the first stop obviously. It is on September 27th at 7 PM at the Olympic Hall. For more details, visit the forum ^^
Here is Epik High’s new music video, Umbrella
SuJu Update
After releasing the U/Twins album on July 9th in Japan, the album ranked 4th on the Daily Oricon Chart and then ranked 8th on the Weekly Oricon Chart, becoming the first Korean album to make into the top 10 on the Weekly Charts. Also, the boys’ Super Show album and SuJu-H’s album, Cooking? Cooking! made it to #1 on Taiwan’s G-music chart. On the combo chart, they were ranked #2 and #4, making them the first Korean boy band to ever reach the #2 spot.
The boys have successfully ended their sold out fan meet and concert in Japan and Thailand on the 8th and 12th, respectively. On August 2nd, they will be attending the 2008 MTV Asia Awards in Malaysia and so far, only SuJu has been confirmed as the only performer from Asia.
Siwon recently revealed that the group will make a comeback in 2009 with a new album. It is unknown whether Henry and Zhoumi or any other unknown members will be in the album. And since it 2009 is within a few months, don’t be too excited yet, because who knows what SM has planned, but I’m sure ELF has started preparing for another war!
As the group hits their 1000th day together, SM is still tried to rip money off the fans. There was a celebration for the special day on July 27th but only half the group members was there and SJM members live via video. The whole party costed the fans 10 000 won just for fun and games, no performances. What’s even more upsetting was that the fans were not guaranteed into the party and only 1000 fans was allowed in to fulfill the whole “1000” concept. Because of the raging fans, SM decided to have 2 parties.
There will be a new reality show, featuring Kangin and Heechul. The new reality show will be showing the two boys as they prepare for the musical Xanadu. Clic k to read more about the reality show
Just a reminder to fans, Hankyung will be carrying the Olympic torch in Beijing from August 6th-8th. As to which day or activities he’ll be involved with is unknown at the moment. Just hope he will be doing the opening ceremonies just to everyone can get a glimpse of his handsome face on global tv ^^ Hankyung will also be starring in an upcoming Chinese drama, called Stage of Youth, where he plays a boy who loves to dance but his father wants him to follow his father’s footsteps. Continue reading more about the drama here
Big Bang’s Album Postponed
Once again, the VIPs are disappointed in their boys’ delayed mini album, which they were very excited over. The fans had waited forever for this album to come out, since Taeyang solo activities had gotten in the way. The new mini album, Stand Up, was supposed to be released on August 1st, but now the new release date is August 8th. The reason for this delay is so they can commemorate 08.08.08, a supposedly lucky day.
Taeyang, on the other hand, has become a very lucky fan boy of Alicia Keys, as he was chose and requested to open up for her upcoming concert in Seoul at the Jamsil Stadium on August 7th. Taeyang also ended his first solo concert on July 20th and got Big Bang and himself a mini fan, Ha Eum! Ha Eum is the daughter of Sean from Jinusean, who is rumored to be making a comeback later this year along with 1TYM, since Jinhwan was released from military a few weeks ago. Ha Eum is very famous among YG fans as the little kid who dresses just like her father ^^ (I love the YG family love and Sean’s family <3)
Here’s a recent performance of Jinusean – Phone Number
To guys kicking it old school in suits and with the dancers on stage? *shakes head and laughs*

Kang Ho Dong’s Wife is Pregnant!
Kang Ho Dong is finally catching up to his buddy, Park Myung Soo!. KHD’s wife has been confirmed pregnant! I recently watched an old clip of KHD on Sang Sang Plus and he said that no one was able to carry him after he was 1 year old and on Star King, he said he ate like an adult at the age of 3. Just hope the kid won’t grow up to look like the daddy but have personalities just like the daddy!
Also, actress Park Eun Hye, who was in Dae Jang Geum, also recently confirmed pregnancy.
Congrats to them!

It’s ajumma Bada during a photoshoot for a magazine! Yay for make-up and photoshop!

Has Rock music suddenly taken over Pop as the most popular Music Genre in Korea?
After 4 years in exile, Seo Taiji (36) makes his official comeback in to the Korean Music scene on the 15th of August. Similarly, after 2 years of promotions in Japan, DBSK are headlining the SMTOWN LIVE 08 on the same day.
In the media its been seen as a battle of the generations. Seo Taiji being an idol star of the 20th century and DBSK the 21st Century idol stars.
ETPFest is an annual festival held by Seo Taijis company where plenty of World Stars participating on an annual basis. It started in 2001 and past acts have been Tommy Lee from Motley Crue, and Hide from X-Japan. After 2005 it was cancelled, to commemmorate Seo Taijis comeback its back and better than ever. Check out the headliners:
SMTOWNLIVE is not an annual event organised by SM Entertainment, instead its supposed to be a treat for fans, since there was no ‘Summer SMTown Album’ this year. All their popular artists are meant to perform (with some exceptions). This years show lineup is as follows:
On paper and judging by the Korean Music Scene, one would assume that because of the crazy youth fandom in South Korea, SMTOWNLIVE would be the packed concert, winning the so-called ‘Battle of the generations’.
Apparently not.
Let me educate you on this matter. Both concerts will be held in ‘Jamsil’ stadiums. ETPFest in the ‘Jamsil Baseball Stadium’ and SMTOWNLIVE in the ‘Jamsil Olympic Stadium’. Tickets for both have long been available, but only one is SOLD OUT.
Yes, ETPFEST is sold out. While only 70% of SMTOWNLIVE ticket sales have been issued. The problem also isnt in price. ETPFest tickets all sell for a pretty hefty amount of 132,000 KRWs (around $133), while the most expensive for SMTOWNLIVE is 66k. The sales for the latter predict it will be sold out, but the significance in its availability is obvious.
What has happened to all those crazy fangirls/fanboys? Is it possible that they’re Seo Taiji fans too? And his comeback is more valuable to them?
Only Heaven knows We only have our theories.
As an afterthought, It was ridiculous for SM to organize their concert on the same day. Why? I think the sales figures can answer that question.

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. However, I think these incidents might have been prevented if these celebrities engaged in yoga and other relaxation activities.
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.
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.
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.)
*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!
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

God! It’s like 100 degrees out here all over California. I am like… Summer is definitely telling us that she is here….. but now I’m kind of thinking it’s not the summer telling us this. But in fact it’s the power of THE GODS OF THE EAST. HA HA
Yes these hotties have the power to change the weather where ever they go…..Nay just joking, but these guys so do know how to bring the heat. DBSK are in LA to participate in the Hollywood Bowl this Saturday May 17th at the Korean Music Festival. You can find out more about the event in the forum.
Oh how i wish i could be there, but I have my reason why I won’t….

Anyways back to the boys…..they looked so hot when they where leaving LAX today in there casual clothes. But I have one question…..did anyone notified Changmin that they were going to LA?
Dude! It’s probably like 200 degrees (yeah I know I’m over exaggerating it) out there, and you are wearing a shirt, sweater, AND TIE. lol Didn’t the other members tell him where they were going, and seeing that they are dressed so casual and perfect for the weather?…..Those guys and their pranks. HA HA Changmin always the professional one.
Oh and Super Junior is out here too.
Heechul looking so……NORMAL!
