Ivy’s ex-boyfriend who was previously arrested on charges of assault and threat finally at 10 am on December 26th in Seoul Central Criminal District Court was sentenced to 1 year of jail and 2 years of probation.
WTF is this? *kicking*
What happened to the sex tape?
In other news, Ivy’s music video “Sonata of Temptation” (유혹의 소나타) was found to be plagiarized and the court ordered Phantom Entertainment on December 6th to pay 10 million won and director Hong and executive Lee to pay 6 million won each.

Once again, the news of award shows is back!! Only this time, it’s the Golden Disk Awards, which were held on Dec. 14th at the Olympic Gymnasium Stadium!! Golden Disk, it is said to be different from MKMF because is the Daesung award that all artists aim for, which is based on best song and artist of the year. It is equivalent to gold, like in Olympics, and they actually give out a gold medal with the trophy! It is the next biggest award is the Bonsang award, which it’s equivalent to silver, but no medal is awarded, just the trophy! Bonsang awards are for the artists that are in the final round to competing for the Daesung.
Once again, the big award goes to *drum roll* SG Wannabe, who was also the big winner back in 2005!! Another good thing about this show is that they always some how managed to get the party started with all the remixes of the songs!! I thought that Epik High’s performance was the best!!

I know lately we haven’t been bringing the news that much to you guys. Well that’s because we have lives too (like me, working two jobs and going to school). But here is some K-Entertainment that’s out.
In Korea, a big number of women turned out to see Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution” it drew in 385,000 viewers nationwide in seven days since its release on November, 8th. I guess we know what women in their 30s living in Korea wants.
——————————————————————————————-
Song Hye-Gyo is getting some help from Hollywood in her U.S debut by having her in one of their upcoming movies “Fetish”, where Hye-Gyo will play a woman with psychic abilities in this thriller. But first you can see her in an Nintendo DS CF.
Song Hye Kyo, Nintendo CF
The only thing I have to say..…..is anyone really waiting for her U.S debut, especially after her horrible acting in the movie “Hwang Jin Yi”?
——————————————————————————————-
I know I did a post on Yoon Eun-Hye about her showing her goodies. Well this time I will give her some praise for her newly found talent as a model. Eun-hye will be seen in the Vogue magazine in their December 2007 issue and in Vogue Girl the Korean verson.
In the December issue of Vogue, she will take on the appearance as a…..swan? Yes! That is right! Using her acting abilities and new found model ability, she actually pulls it off gracefully.
And in Vogue Girl she is showing more of her sweet and seductive side.
——————————————————————————————-
Speaking of Yoon Eun-Hye….she along with Rain were selected as China’s favorite Hallyu stars. Each receiving the highest votes taken from a Chinese website survey by the International Reelection Hallyu Channel. Eun-Hye received 2,811,769 votes in the female catogary and Rain received 2,193,388 votes in the male catogary.
But not everyone is loving Rain right now. Peta issued a complaint to the Kpop star for wearing fur. They released a statement asking Rain to stop wearing fur saying “You have said that you want to show American women ‘how sweet and loving Asian men are’. Correct us if we’re wrong, but wearing fur is anything but ’sweet’ and there is no ‘loving’ way to rip the skin off a still-twitching animal,”…
I have to say this…..has PETA run out of U.S stars to harasses now they have to pick on Rain. I mean he hasn’t even made his debut yet and they are already tarring his throat.
——————————————————————————————-
Ivy should be receiving a sigh of relief after hearing that her ex-boyfriend whom was blackmailing her, was arrested and charged for blackmailing, sending threatening messages, and other charges. Even though Ivy has cancelled all of her Korean activates, she was recently seen on stage in Vancouver, Canada participating in a concert that was scheduled before the scandal broke out. She joined DJ Doc and Tei and others at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, where she received an overwhelming appreciation from the audience that it brought her to tears.
That’s good that she is receiving good will through this ruff patch, but……cough cough… WHERE IS THE SEX TAPE? Trust me I am not the only one thinking that.
——————————————————————————————-
JYP has already started his comeback, but I am just wondering why. The dude cannot sing for the life of him…. I hate to say this, but I would rather hear Heechul sing before I listen to him. JYP may have the magic touch in finding talent, but the magic stops with him.
JYP - The House that You Live In & Kiss
Do people really like this?
and what the hell is up with his fashion sense…..
Is he taking fashion tips from Ugly Spice….hummm…..i mean Posh Spice?
——————————————————————————————-
JYP’s little protégés the Wonder girls have a new basket Robbin CF. Wonder Girls- Baskin Robins CF [ 35 version ]
They really are going to wear this dance out. Hahahahahah
——————————————————————————————-
Lee Hyori will be featured in the December issue of Cosmo(Cosmopolitan) magazine in the spread labeled “Girl’s Party Best Friend” (what ever that’s suppose to mean)…..
and she also has an Soju CF out……
Lee Hyori’s management is saying that she will be taking a year off to attend college. Oh, now i get it….she is featured in the Cosmo spread named “Girl’s Party Best Friend” and she has an Soju cf out, and she’s going to college…..that means only one thing….PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!!!! It’s good to see that she will have her priorities straight. Hahahahahahah
——————————————————————————————-
Girls Generation is the new “GirlScout” Ambassadors-from Bellisima @ JPHIP.com
Korean GirlScout League (?), “It’s been 62 years since the founding (of GirlScout) and we are ready to welcome a new society with a new image, different images from eating healthy meals to having the best talent, and so the popular Girls’ Generation was chosen as the ambassador,” on the 28th.
As ambassadors, the GirlScout Federation says they will contribute to campaigns, participate in international events such as camping, be distributed to schools nationwide as GirlScout ambassadors, be promo models for the bimonthly “GirlScout” magazine, and a variety of activites, include photo shootings.
Girls’ Generation, “We are really happy to be represented as GirlScout ambassadors. We want girls’ images to be bright and healthy, so we will work hard.”
The ambassador appointment will take place on February 13, 2008 in Seoul GirlScout Association Hall (?) and they will proceed with plans in the General Assembly in 2008.
————————
Cjlatina—isn’t the GirlScout’s moto suppose to be about being yourself. Where does plastic surgery fall into there….couldn’t they get a group that was more about being unique, instead of the cookie cut-out girls they picked.
——————————————————————————————-
The elves will be seeing less of their Suju gods….well on MBC programs that is. MBC has stated that they will not allow any SM artist to participate in any programs until they receive a offical apology from Mr. SM because of what they feel are unfair pratices. The whole episode is over the fact that Kangin and other members are on MBC and a competing station(SBS) at the same time. Guessing from their argurment MBC programs that have SuJu Memebers on it are not doing too good compared to SBS’s programs that also features Suju members.
Edit—SM has apologize to MBC. His artists will be able to perform on MBC, but Kangin will not be going back to his MBC MC job. YEAH! For the elves…..boo for the rest of us. lol
~Thanks Jennifer for the update~
——————————————————————————————-
Also in news Kangin was rushed to the hospital during the show “Explore the Human Body” .. he started to vomit so bad, they had to take him to the hospital …. there they found out he is having swollen intestine … so he is kept there for further examinations. This is just more proof that SM is working these guys to the bone that every other day someone is going into the hospital.
Sad that this is happening to him….first is his hand and now his intestines. Ouch!

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…
