Here is the round-up to the news-slow week that passed (Monday 13th to Sunday 24th). It was a seriously slow Newsweek to be honest and I was hoping for more juicier news, unfortunately I can’t make any up….

Final Goodbyes

The biggest news of last week was of course, actor/Model/DJ Lee Eons passing. The news rocked a lot of netizens and fans as it was a sudden and sad death. Rest In Peace Lee Eon you shall be missed.

Photo Movie?

Actress Kim HaNeul and actor/model Daniel Henney have come together to star in a “Photo-Movie” called ‘Sweet September’. It’s a joint project by Elle and On Style and it seems like quite an interesting artistic idea, which of course was “borrowed” from the French like a lot of music we’re seeing nowadays too. I’m looking forward to see how they work this out and how good it may or may not be….

SHINee, um… Shines?

That’s the worst name to try and tag to be honest. Nevertheless these 5 young boys have stormed back in to the Music World and made quite an impression.

Promotional Ambassadors anyone?

First we need to know what a promotional Ambassador is, but SHINee deserve some kudos for landing this gig…. I guess. Group 8 continue to baffle us in terms of their ‘Hana Yori Dango” release, and instead of announcing the stars of the show they have provided us with some SHINee for our eyes. Not that we’re complaining, but it just doesn’t seriously make much sense. Why do you need a promotional ambassador for a Drama that hasn’t even announced stars or quite possibly started filming yet? Anyhow, SHINee will be releasing the single “In My Room” off their first mini album for the drama with accompanying MV. Group 8 stop playing games please, I am seriously starting to not care anymore…

90s Pop Music is back

Seriously, the pants

Well, with SM it never really ever left. Anyhow, SHINees remake title track “Love Like Oxygen” is out and so is the full MV, and I cant get my head around the material for their pants. Is it not the worst thing to wear while you dance those moves? What is it anyway, is it pleather? Besides the strange fashion choice in this video we finally hear Taemins little voice. This boy blows me away with his dancing skills, his control over his skinny and tall frame is unbelievable for a boy his age.

Events this week

Jang GeunSuk host of the Mnet Awards, I put him up cos I think he’s hot

Rain at the Olympics and the Mnet 20s Choice were covered earlier this week in great detail by SYP staff, y’all should go take a peak at our coverage.

Eric serenades…

Well quite possibly. Eric of Shinhwa keeps teasing his fans when it comes to releasing an album before he trots off to the army this October for 2 years. His company say that there is a 99% chance that he will, and so expect it soon.

Crown J IZ in A-Town

question Crown J, iz YOU fly?

Crown J makes his way to the hometown of Hip Hop to film the MV for his upcoming mini-album, in Atlanta, Georgia. His album is called “Fly Boy” and was officially released on the 26th. Check out the teaser here:

Seriously you have to watch that teaser just for the bad spelling, and yes I purposely picked the most unfly picture.

[MV] SE7EN – I wanna…

Until this day, He have been singing a lot of pop and ballad songs, but in his single ” I wanna…” we can hear a different type of music from him. SE7EN always follow his own style.

” So, sleepy~” SE7EN can’t stop himself from yawning, as I thought he will probably fell asleep during this interview. He didn’t hide his yawn in front of the cameras, and that gave me a very special impression. As I was thinking maybe these photos will be passed on in the future. He really look like he wanted to sleep, but his still continues to smile at all the workers around him. He really makes me feel he is young, and
natural, it doesn’t matter if it’s right now or when he is on his concert. But when we changed the topic to music, his face and attitude turned serious. Imagine SE7EN dancing and singing on the stage, the power and energy he passed on, he really united himself into the message of the song. He fully expressed his feelings, and that make him have the leading enchantment.

In his single ” I wanna…” you still can feel he is very serious about music. In this song, to him it’s a very challenging accomplishment. It combined his korean music and J-pop, and it also produced a new SE7EN’s world, that makes him grow. What do SE7EN think about Japan? Let’s listen to him.

— I was at YG Family’s 10th Annivarary World Tour-Past Present & the Future concert in September in Osaka and Tokyo. I still remember how excited had happy SE7EN was on the stage. ” Because I’m always by myself on the stage, so I was very happy to be able to have a concert with YG Family for the first time in Japan. And to say the truth, I felt less pressure too, when other people perform together with me.” SE7EN laughed.

— Less pressure, It seems like the heavy rock on his shoulder disappeared.
( laughing…)

— Before I talk about his single ” I wanna…”, I want to talk to you guys about his past. He debuted his first Japanese album ” First Se7en” in March, and he also had his very own concert in Arena later that year. Until now, his concert is probably the biggest event for him in Japan. ” Well, I debuted my first album on March 8 in Japan, and I also had my concert around April-May, it makes me feel like I finally steped on the start line. So, I think not just my J-Pop style, I want to add some of my Korean style in bit by bit. And the result is this 4th single ” I wanna.”

— That’s why…
So, “I wanna…” should be a new stage of SE7EN.
When did you star producing it? ” When… ( laughing). Actually, we didn’t spent too much time on this single. We spent more time on my daily schedule. After the tune is done, we started to record it. It’s a very fast process, so I didn’t pay attention to the time thing ( laughing).” SE7EN replied.

— That’s why…
On the information you gave me, it says it’s ” different compare to the past,” and how will you show the difference?
” Uhm… like a onced said, I have a lot of ideas, not just a regular J-pop
style, it also combined my own style, and this is this single’s biggest
point.”

— Then, How did you communicate with the producers?
” First, I explained my ideas about not just having a J-pop style, then we followed the way that I wanted…just like the way we do it in Korea. We are always trying new things, but later I let go, I let them do it, then it turned out to what everybody is hearing right now~”

— Did you guys planned to use ” I wanna…” as a major hit?
” No, after the tune is composed, we didn’t say we have to use this song as the major hit.”

— Then why is this song chosen? Any ways to decide?
” I wanna…”, when we are listening to this demo, we thought this is very close to my own style, so this is the main reason.”

— What about ” What u want?”
“This tune was also combined with K-pop and J-pop, so we chose this.”

— I agree. In the lyric of ” I wanna…” it shows a message saying you ”
have to make it!” What was your feeling when you sing this?
“Just like my previous singles, the message is always about hope. (laughing) This time is no different, the tempo is very strong, and I also put all my feelings in it. And also this other song ” What u want?”, I dominated all through the recording process of this song, but of course, I talked to the workers. The atmosphere was great, and i’t didn’t took me a long time to record this song. ( laughing again)”

— That’s why…
Using SE7EN’s success to sing ” I wanna…”, the lyric is even more persuasive, which part do you agree the most? “Probably the last part, where it says ” you can do it.” Because I’m like that ( Laughing). I think there is a lot of barriers while I persue my
dream, but that didn’t stop me from believing myself. I believe I can do it!”

— How do you feel now, after your music is published?
“I think I still have a long Journey ahead, and the power of these song still have not really combine with my style perfectly. I will sing more when I perform, and let it be my thing a little by little.”

— After challenging this piece, what did you think you learned?
“I think this is a very k-pop type of music, and it’s hard to find songs like this in Japan. I will work hard to let people get use to these kind of style.”

— Change a topic, you went to U.S right? What did you do in the States?
“I went to prepare my 4th album. I recorded some songs, and I shopped. I also did a lot of work out. It’s pretty relaxing time in U.S”

— Did you learn anything?
“Yeah, of course.”

— Have you show us what you learned from this single ” I wanna …” ?
” Umh~~ Not yet. It’s about to start~ (laughing).
I wish everybody can stick with me and watch me.”

— How will you make what you’ve learned come alive?
“Through words, and performance, please watch me grow to another level. (laughing)”

— Last question
SE7EN’s new single showed us your own style, and we are excited to see your other achievement. You can answer the following question to your best ability. Can you tell me your ideas about your “SE7EN’s world” from this day on?
“Just like I said, my previous singles delt with hope, I want to try some love songs too. I believe everybody want to listen to it right~? ( laughing) If I can’t, I still have other style that I haven’t show you guys, so from now on, I will express it little by little in my music, to create ” SE7EN style.” And I will do my best in Japan, please support me~ (laughing).”

Ok ya’ll I am aiming for sending you to mental hospital tonight as a result of sudden insanity caused by heat attack through visual stimulations!!! LOL se7enfan here from our staff came up with a idea of “Flash Back” which is what we randomly planning to do … basically taking you back in time to old videos and music videos, might add the movies later too and clear the dust from them also reveal some factuality’s you probably never thought about on your own …

let’s me be the fist one launching this idea …
with Se7en’s video “Nan Arayo” (I know) from 2006 ….
there is a part in the MV that like always se7en is on top of the high tech apartment … and for the half of a second the pics of good old days with his women that thanks to whoever took the captions turned out to be his (Hal moni) grandma is running on the even higher tech digital frame *rolling eyes* and like always he is no longer with her …. so yesterday! ….. i guess the only women he ever got was Amerie … cuz he always liked the way she shook her behind!! ooo ~ yeah!
