Now the boys have another special day to celebrate along with their anniversary, which was on the 26th!! Their success just never seems to stop! The boys have once again conquered the Oricon Charts in Japan, coming in 3rd place with the song, “Together”. The boys will be releasing their 16th Japanese single, titled “Purple Line” on January 16th. Purple Line will also be included in their 3rd Japanese album, “T”, which will be released on January 23rd. Because of Koda Kumi’s popularity with releasing 12 singles in a row, their company in Japan, Avex Trax and Rhythm Zone (their label under Avex Trax), have decided to use the same strategy. Each single will have one members’ solo, making it a total of five singles. The title of this 17th single is yet to be determined. The boys have been working non-stop in Japan for the whole year and it seems like they won’t return to Korea just yet and the rumor of a 4th Korean album is still going around. So fans, keep your hopes up!!

Cassiopeia are celebrating DBSK’s 4th year anniversary!
We are celebrating that we found out Chang Min might be a real man!
The youngest member of the group that we always thought was gay …
for the first time in history is being rumored with a woman!
The pictures are from the photoshoot for PINKY Magazine in Japan.
Some say she is only a model for the photoshoot …
But hey! There is at least something after FOUR years!
That alone is enough to make us smile all day ^^
The rumored girlfriend is Japanese. *Cassiopeia on fire*

BoA is to join a Musical with other SM Entertainment members such as: KangTa (H.O.T.), CSJH The Grace, and DBSK! It was stated on 2007/12/05 by Mr. SM that they are planning to produce a stage musical for next year. These artists are currently SM Entertainment’s biggest stars. They hope to follow in Bada, Ok Ju Hyun, Kim Tae Woo, and Andy’s success in musicals and ride out their popularity even more.
“Xandu”, a broadway musical is an “affectionate send-up” of the flop 80’s movie that starred Olivia Newton-John, is most likely to be their first show. Hopefully all ten of them will be doing it together [OMG… imagine Junsu and BoA romance for the musical?!]. Though they have not completely licensed the deal, they are still looking for a mid sized theatre that seats 600-800 people. Their only luck are such theatres like ‘M Theater’ in Sejong Center of Performing Arts or ‘The Towel Theatre’ at Seoul Arts Center. Yoo Hee Sung was asked to handle the location of the stadium, but since all major stadiums are booked, it seems like fans will have to wait till 2009! Sources say that SM Entertainment liked the idea of the musical though because the music centering around it was very pop and catchy.
Let’s hope they’re right … SM Entertainment has been looking for diversity in all kinds of ways. From modeling, voice acting, OST singing, etc… now musicals. Mr. SM has already mentioned upon several occasions to have BoA branch out into musicals, but it’s only now he’s taking real steps. He’s already bought small theatres around Korea (about four of them to be exact) so now the next step are soon coming together.
So, you know what this means folks! BoA’s going back to Korea next year! I KNEW IT! I had a feeling 2008 would be her comeback year with all her pre-comeback events in Korea lately. But to my dismay, this has been followed by mixed reviews though; CJ Entertainment’s head of performance, Kim Byung Suk, said that this will be a great opportunity to widen his branches in the market even further. But he also mentioned that the success of the musical depends on how well the singers can act and sing/stage presence, the scripts, and the stage rather than the popularity of the star or composer.

sLaVe: Artists of one of Korea’s biggest Entertainment companies, SM Entertainment, that is responsible for artists that have started/made the Hallyu bigger around Asia, now are back for their biannual album, this time releasing ‘SM TOWN 2007 Winter’ compilation.
Their title track, ‘Only Love’ deals with children who have been neglected and they need to be loved. It has a joint chorus with everyone singing. It’s now being used as the theme song for Korea’s Children Foundation and 5% of the album’s profits will be going to this foundation. I’m glad to see Boa finally joined with the rest of the company as last year she had to do her scenes separately from the rest and wasn’t in the groups shots.
A total of 12 songs will be:
01. 사랑 하나죠 (Only Love) – SMTOWN
02. 12월 27일 (On December 27) – BoA
03. Evergreen – 동방신기 (TVXQ!)
04. 첫눈이 와 (First Snow) – Super Junior
05. We Wish You A Merry Christmas & Feliz Navidad – 천상지희 더 그레이스 (TSZX the Grace)
06. Winter Wonderland – Kangta
07. Love Melody – 소녀시대 (Girls’ Generation)
08. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas – 현진 (Hyunjin)
09. 눈꽃이 날리면 (When snow scatters) – 추가열 (Chu Gayeol)
10. Oh Holy night – 장리인 (Zhang Liyin)
11. 유년의 크리스마스 (Christmas of Childhood) – 송광식 (Song Gwangsik)
[Bonus Track] 12. 여행기 (TRAVELING) – 동방신기 (TVXQ!)
ShenYue!: WOW! SM Town Winter 2007 MV is Out already!
after that half-ass MV they got together after all that we complained last fall for SM town Summer 2007 .. which it turned out to be from bunch of behind the scene vidoes pic editorial they got randomly edited and called it SMTOWN “SUMMER” MV this time not only they are on time .. but took time and actually filmed each of these people on separate shots .. check it out~!
If you know SMTown MVs (they are my favorites by the way) .. they normally get all these people sit in one set and film them while lip-synching .. now only the super popular ones *cough BOA+Kangta + etc… cough* if they are lucky get a single shot of a wink or a smile .. but this time poor SM people had ….
…. 13 suju guys + 9 sushi guys Ops! girls + 5 DBSK(how did they manage to find these guys still alive and breathing) + 4 the Grace (wonder how their Japanese invasion plan went .. the way SM didn’t give them much timing here and they seems depressed i guess we get the idea T__T) + that women ayummi (which by the way what is she up to these days? planning another set of plastic surgery?) + BOA (finding this one free is quite a headache) + that Kangta guy (dragged from China! how did the drama rating go?) + wait a second hmmm where did that always-present Isak women go? I hope i didn’t leave anyone out ….
… on separated shots and dual shots also all at the same time in one place in one day??!!!
Ya know, even in crappy clinical psychology lab i work for we couldn’t find a single day and time to get all staff together to take a single shot .. we ended up photoshopping the individual pictures to put them in one frame O.O!!! Seriously, Kuddo’s to whoever lost-soul was in charge of this project ~! wonder what rehabilitation center he/she/them is/are spending these days at! SM have to give this guys and the editor(s) for taping up all these tapes triple bonuses!!!
you know Lee Soo Man? it’s cold and around Xmass time?!!?? *puppy eyes*

The Chinese media is reporting that DBSG was scolded recently at a press conference in Beijing by one of the SM staff. Honestly I think that this is just the Chinese media trying to make hype about something that really is nothing. I watched the video and it doesn’t look like he was scolding them, and actually it doesn’t even look like was talking to them, but to someone else way off camera. And when he shouted Yunho and Mickey looked at him like what the hell are you yelling for.hahahahha
*note that Junsu and Changmin in the background weren’t even phased by the guy yelling*
Don’t get me wrong I am not a SM lover because I do think that SM works his artists to death. But in this case it’s being over exaggerated for more media coverage by the Chinese press.

I know everyone is missing the boys, but some are taking it too far. Cassiopeia DBSG’s huge fan club has recently went on a manhunt against one of the members of the group Tri Top. Jany yoo Joon cyworld account was bombarded with threatening messages from Cassiopeia. You may wonder why they scare the hell out this boy:
Is it because he said bad things about each DBSG member…noooooo
Is it because he said his group is better than DBSG…noooooo
Is it because some people think he look a lot like Hero….DING, DING, DING!
Yes, after the group’s appreance on Music Bank; Jang Yoo Joon got much unwanted attention because of his look alike appearance to Hero a.k.a Young Woong Jae Joong.
After that appearance Jang Yoo Joon received some very disturbing messages from Cassiopeia:
translated by popseoul-
Why did you get plastic surgery to look like Young Woong Jae Joong?
왜 영웅재중 따라서 성형수술을 했냐
The way you hold the mike, the way you tilt your face and the way you dress is just like Young Woong Jae Joong.
마이크 잡는 법부터 얼굴의 각도, 옷 입는 스타일까지 영웅재중을 그대로 카피했다
Be careful at night!
밤에 조심하라
At the fan cafe, there are talks of taking a knife. Don’t try so hard copying. We are not kidding.
팬카페가 칼 들고 간다는 분위기던데, 따라하려고 애쓰지 마라 . 장난 아니다. 우리 한다면 한다
____________________________________________________________________________
Now he so scared to leave his house because of the fear of them attacking him.
Did they really need to attack him over that? Just because he looks a little like Hero. But nowadays Cassiopeia has been doing some weird things.
They recently sent out a message I guess to DBSG that reads: A PROMISE
In my next life, I’ll no longer love you.
Because in my next life, I will no longer be a Cassiopeia
In my next life, there will be no Cassiopeia, no DongBangShinKi.
In my next life, I hope you ‘ll only have your real names:
Jung YunHo
Kim JaeJoong
Park Yoochun
Kim JunSu
Shim ChangMin
No more U-Know YunHO
No more YongWoong JaeJoong
No more Micky YooChun
No more Xiah Junsu
No more Choikang ChangMin
Only left
the common Jung YunHo
the happy Kim JaeJoong
the cheerful Park YooChun
the cutie Kim Junsu
the genius Shim ChangMin
only those names left…
no longer the group,
DONGBANGSHINKI
For the DongBangShinKi, one lifetime is enough.
Let all the love, all the passion be exhausted by this lifetime.
No leftover; useless once expired.
In your next life, please be just
Jung YunHo
Kim JaeJoong
Park Yoochun
Kim Junsu
Shim ChangMin
Be the Jung YunHo who only belongs to yourself;
the Park Yoochun who only belongs to your parents;
the Kim JaeJoong who only belongs to your sisters;
the Kim Junsu who only belongs to your friends:
the Shim ChangMin who only belongs to your loved one.
No more DongBangShinKi,
No more large crowd of fans surrounding you,
No more bodyguards,
No more revolting reports by the silly media.
You can be free to do the things you want to do,
free to love the ones you love.
In the spring,
you’ll plug in your earphones and stroll along the malls.
The MP3s playing will not be by a singer called DongBangShinKi
Summer,
you’ll walk the streets with your girlfriend;
eat ice-cream; rent a yacht; watch Nottinghill, Titanic.
Autumn,
you’ll watch a concert with your family.
The shining star on stage will be someone else,
no longer a group called DongBangShinKi
Christmas,
you’ll hold your girlfriend’s hand and stroll through Myeongdong.
When the lights go out, you kiss her gently and make that promise of a lifetime.
We’ll do that, shall we?
In the next lifetime, you’ll complete the other dream of your present lifetime,
and not the artiste DONGBANGSHINKI
Then,
you’ll no longer be only sleeping two, three hours a day because of work.
You’ll be able to eat; you’ll be able to sleep.
Then,
you won’t have those muscle and joint aches due to long hours of practice.
You won’t accumulate a body full of aches and pain at such a young age.
You won’t say things like “Even if I have to spend the rest of my life lying in bed, that will be ok”.
Then, even when you fall and injured your back,
you’ll be good and put on that cast, lie in your bed and rest.
You’ll no longer have to clench your teeth and finish that performance
because of your promise to fans.
Then, you’ll no longer have to be the artiste watched by thousands;
you’ll only be yourself.
But,
This lifetime,
you’re DongBangShinKi who belongs to the Cassiopeia.
This is a fact that cannot be changed.
And all the Cassiopeia can do,
is love you,
love you,
love you very,
very much.
Because in the next lifetime,
there will be no more DongBangShinKi.
So we’re concentrating all our love in this lifetime.
This lifetime, I will love you well.
This lifetime, let the Cassiopeia love DongBangShinKi well.
Next lifetime,
let you be
just the common Jung YunHo
the happy Kim JaeJoong
the cheerful Park YooChun
the cutie Kim Junsu
the genius Shim ChangMin
who only belongs to yourself.
Next lifetime,
I’ll no longer love you.
I promise.
Really promise…
Because
next lifetime, in my world,
there will be no DongBangShinKi.
there wil be no DongBangShinKi,
no more DongBangShinKi…….
truly
-Cassiopeia-
Why are these fan clubs taking things to far that is so unnecessary? First the Elves over not wanting Henry to join Super Junior, and now Cassiopeia sending threatening message to a boy that looks like Hero.
I am a fan of these guys too, but I know I can’t control them or would want to. People shouldn’t devote their lives to something that is not in their control because they will only get themselves emotionally hurt in the end.
Come on people get a life.

That may sound like I am hating on DBSG….trust me I am not. They are one of my beloved Kpop boy-bands so I am always happy to hear about them, but in this case I am not. They just came out with a new MV, but I am not that happy about it.
Where should I start….well the cartoons characters are kind of cute, but they look a little bit weird. I mean they don’t blink, and they all walk in sync which is kind of disturbing; also you really can’t tell who’s who, maybe by the hair you can. I do like the parts where they help the little kids dance, which I find cute but other than that…. I don’t like the MV.
The music they are producing in Japan now was never my cup of tea. The Japanese bubble-gum pop music really doesn’t do it for me. What’s even bad is that the underlining beat sounds like something you’ll hear on a Super Mario video game. Don’t get me wrong I like Japanese music, Jrock mostly but I also like some Jpop….well Crystal Kay really.
Please boys go back to Korea and make some ballads or something. Get out of Japan ASAP before we lose you forever (I know over kill-heheheheh).

[Okay ya’ll, I know this is a hot topic right now, and you guys are probably sick of reading about it. But just because I actually have a life and wasn’t able to write, DOES NOT MEAN I will just trash this article.]
Alright ya’ll, “Do you wanna talk, Do you wanna play, Do you wanna love?…”
ANYBAND, made up of Korean talents such as BoA, DBSK’s Junsu, Epik High’s Tablo, and Jin BoRa have a new song! Looks like my dream came true (or should I say “day dream…”?)~ They finally have another song, AND they had a concert together! Not only has their two sings, ‘TPL’ and ‘PROMISE YOU’ have been topping radio charts all over the Korean nation since its release, but even the CF is still getting praise!
This makes my day every time I read about this :] Anyway, moving on to the goods:
That right, there is the inside of the ANYBAND album. Looks pretty sweet, eh? >>COVER<< >>CD<< >>1 inside good<< >>2 inside good<<
Again, I have made it easier for you (lovely lazys) to view their so-far released videos of performances, previews, and fan stuff. >>AB/SB YOUTUBE PLAYLIST 2007/11/28< – A performance of ANYBAND’s new song, ‘DAY DREAM’. Sweet sound with a sweet performance. Listen to that crowd when they hear the sound of BoA’s voice, the lyrics of Tablo, the playing of BoRa, and Junsu’s voice!
- Fancam performance of ‘PROMISE YOU’. Sorry folks, people are being stingy, and so far it’s only fancams. I doubt there’s going to be anything new with ANYBAND by the time the higher quality stuff comes out, you’re on your own! But if you really are being lazy, you can email me at uhohspaghettios346@yahoo.com and ask for updates :]
- Closer performance, but shorter, of ‘PROMISE YOU’!
- ‘A WHOLE NEW WORLD’ by BoA and Junsu! I really like the vocals. But both their English…well… let’s just say that BoA can converse better, but she needs to get her accent better! The new trainees or groups from different entertainments have such good pronunciation now, but their conversational English is horrible!
- BoA doing ‘Meri-Chri’. Hey Shen-unni, remember this song? LOL.
Again, sorry, it’s not the whole thing!
- OH hellz yeah! It’s ‘GIRLS ON TOP’. This song never gets old. My first Korean BoA song, haha. Full version!
- Oh yay, Junsu fans can watch a pretty good fancam version of his SOLO song! I love him for his vocals (Well he’s cute too, haha, they always pick on him about his cute booty!~)
- MP3 version of ‘DAY DREAM’ Not the best quality, but it’s not live…
- BoRA playing a bit of her piano bits from the ANYBAND songs.
- THREE fan versions of people playing ‘TPL’ and ‘PROMISE YOU’.
The others that were there were EPIK HIGH and DBSK (because like BoA having performances, they did too), but of course, ANYBAND was the topic. Sorry guys, I haven’t found any videos yet, just pictures :T
Looking good boys…looking good…>>EPIK HIGH<< >>LOL JaeJong’s hand can be mistaken to be somewhere else…<<
_______________________________________
It was said that during the performances, Tablo held her hand! OMG THE DRAMA CONTINUES!~ Sigh, it’s so beautiful *o*. How many suitors does she have now?!
Haven’t had enough of BoA yet? Of course you haven’t! This girl’s busy, so you can bet I’ve got a big news article coming up about her recent achievements biggrin.gif Get ready, cuz it’s gonna be a >>kick*<< in your face! [hehe, okay, maybe not, but I wanted to share that pictures haha] so here’s more >>BoA (on top) and ANYBAND (scroll down)<< pictures from that night, compiled by BOAJJANG fans.
[*I don't know what's better... the laser poon picture (Sorry, I can't find it on my computer!) of BoA during the >>2006 LOVE BUG<< performance... I just love how these pics make her poon look so hot or godly. haha]
_______________________________________
For those waiting for the KOREAN BoA blog, please wait. I don’t want to add that onto here, I’ll put it in another post.

Here is my say about MKMF and clarify some things up…even though the topic has kinda died down now and I was gonna post this yesterday but Chris posted and I didn’t want to conflict with her post!! If u haven’t read it, go now cuz Shenyue is leaving!! And as a warning… I got really heated while reading the comments and writing this and I had a crappy day at school and on my way home cuz it was Monday (when I wrote this) …so, don’t take it too personally and I’m sorry if it sounds repetitive!! At first, this post was just to clarify about the show and SuJu but turns out writing about the show go too long…and now the SuJu thing will have its own separate post…
MKMF turned out to be a disaster because of a few main factors:
1. Attendees and performers
Some people received an invitation but didn’t go because of busy schedules…even though I don’t get how…cuz MKMF is like the biggest award show in Korea and like everything stops just for this award show! Some people rejected the invitation because they already knew they weren’t winning so going to this show will be useless. Getting all pampered up for this show is worst than a wedding…it’s like Oscar’s night in Hollywood! Some people decided not to show up an hour before the show started *coughminwoocough* and because some people didn’t show up, some performances were cancelled. Ivy didn’t show up because she’s still in hiding…but she can’t stay hidden forever…she’s gonna have to come out and face the media one day and everyone is waiting for that day! For some odd reason, only Junsu and BoA were to perform for Anyband…when there are 4 people in it and Tablo was there. FTTS didn’t show up for who knows what reason…they’re probably busy preparing for their concert! Minwoo’s cancellation caused JYP to stand alone on stage for like 10 whole minutes with the ugliest outfit ever…its worst than Andre Kim’s space suit and painted hair! Haha! AND NO, MNET DID NOT LIE TO THE TVXQ FANS! TVXQ and BoA were to arrive back in Japan but the excuse of “bad weather” prevented them from showing up! The weather was fine in Japan and was only raining and beginning to snow in Korea but people still walked the red carpet with no jackets!! Because my friend is a crazy Gackt fan, she said that he was in Canada (BC specifically) recently for a photo shoot so he probably able to make it to Korea if he took off from Canada, even though the weather here isn’t much better than Korea!.
2. Awards
I’m tired of hearing all the complaints on the results! MKMF had its judging criteria and wasn’t just based on the votes by fans!! To read more about the rules of the voting process, click here http://www.arirang.co.kr/event/2007MKMF/introduction.asp. And scroll half way down the page for more info about the whole process before u go on ranting about who should get which award… I’m sick of hearing non-stop complaints from fans!! And complaining now won’t make Mnet change the awards around! The voting/judging process is not rigged unless “professional” judges were playing favorites or if SM really paid or kissed his way in for the awards…haha!! Regarding the “Overseas Artist Award” on Arirang, blame all those people who made like 20 accounts just to vote for their favorite artists!! I didn’t cheat though! I had an account and I’ve had it for over a year now. Arirang stopped online registrations a few days before polls closed so it was too late to save the crazy voting!! So to all those fans out there who’s complaining about it, stop saying Shinhwa shouldn’t get it just cuz they didn’t have much overseas activities. It’s because their fans are very united, very supporting and they can never stop voting!!
3. Mnet and fans
More controversy came up when the TVXQ fans found out that their boys weren’t gonna show up. They got mad because they bought tickets (and who knows much how they paid!) and stood in line all day (so they could get good seats…seats were assigned). At the beginning and during the show, Mnet staff still said the boys were gonna show up and then as the show went on, the mnet staff then said they were showing up so the fans stood up and wanted to leave. Mnet on the other hand, already had its doors locked. It’s to prevent people without tickets and permission/authority from getting in. Mnet has the responsibility for the stadium since they’re renting it just for the show. They also didn’t want the fans leaving because it’s disrespectful to other artists and the fans took up most of the seats…meaning if the fans weren’t there, the stadium wouldn’t have been as filled. But I would’ve sued them if they didn’t let me out! Mnet then “apologized” and said they never confirmed that the boys were coming! But when I watched the show, just before the show started, they had this train going across the screen listing in alphabetical order who was attending the show! TVXQ, BoA, FTTS, Ivy, Wheesung, the Shinhwa boys and some other artists were among that list that didn’t show up!
And thanks for reading this rant ^^
Now preparing to run from crazy fans…
