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.

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

I would like to apologize personally to all of those singers that so far, we all together decided they can’t sing! .. (the most recent of the case if I remember right was that still-in-puberty-Ajoo!) cuz we found someone in the industry called JOO that wins all the hearts and souls of anyone who can hear with the hearing threshold of 80 dB!

Mighty Mouth debut song that was originally sang by Yoon Eun Hye found Joo as a new partner and the collaboration started since 4th .. The nice person that i am i chose the second performance that had tad bit of improvement as of respect for JOO! You can watch the first performance in our forum or anywhere else you feel comfortable .. it’s called a SUCCESSFUL collaboration by Korean media after all!

Mighty Mouth (ft. JOO) – I Love You (Apr 5, 2008)

Thanks to the kind considerations of JYP for making such collaborations happen, we lost dose of respect we had for the lable company! Why on earth didn’t she have enough practice? I mean, in the sound checks and all, couldn’t they detect the problem? How could Mighty Mouth go on stage for their debut song with such unprepared singer? Or are we possibly hearing something they don’t? JOO?! dear, we want to hear something that makes our heart bleed not our ears! Freaking stop breathing in the mic already!

Aigoo … that Mighty Mouth – I Love You song that had originnally inspired us to write our SYPR Debut song is being tortured in every level thanks to JOO *sniffing*

GOOD GOD! When are they gonna wrap up this album?!

Sushi chose yet another song that is “Baby Baby” for yet another round of promotions of their album. This time with .. long extensions for the short hair Tiffany which she seems to be sporting on a everyday bases!

^ She is the one on the far left!

and straight hair for that blondei, nothing else is catching my eyes on the promotional posters! … and there doesn’t seem to be a MV that at least i know of!
At least now those horrendous lollipops are hopefully gone!

what were they made out of? painted cement??!

But I swear, if SM needed it I would help LSM with donations to make some money buy some NEW songs and let these girls disappear at least for 2 days for the mother of heaven and comeback with another album and songs! In case you are interested, these bunch will be back on March 13th for the first time promotions of their so called new song ‘Baby Baby’ *Yawn*
Aren’t all those songs of them alike?!
Oh and the lyrics … so, i once looked for a lyrics of one of their songs and just reading the translation i was blushing of embarrassment! it was the ‘merry-go-round’ song if you are wondering … i highly suggest you to read it if you have no clue what on earth i am talking about!

Shall we have a look at what we already been through?

The highlight was the length of the skirts!

Anyways, thanks heaven something exciting will happen the exact same day!
That is JOO from JYP will have a special stage with SUSHI leader Taeyeon and together they will perform their solo songs “If” & “Because of a Man”.

Since we didn’t cover this .. so here is THE SURPRISE!
SUSHI leader had a solo song for the drama Hong Gil Dong OST
Bellow is the clip of the ending of the show where the song was played!
it’s actually a very nice work .. good for her!

SNSD (Taeyeon) – If [English Sub]

Not that we are anticipating anything .. that is, after that Horrific performance we saw from WG with JOO we have a good idea how most collaborations with JOO will turn out!

This li’l new singer Joo just expressed her love to JYP. She sang praise for the cute-gorilla (Louise is in loove with JYP,people!) and bragged how he gave the second chance after she dropped Star Survival, and trained her hard, and now, everytime she’s down with the practice, she’d just think of JYP. In short, he is the best teacher she’s ever had. well, yeah looking back her old school days, definitely no teachers gave such impact to her.

Read Joo’s own words here

It was first her face … changed 180 degrees to her debut performance …
Now it’s the new found pictures of her drinking, smoking and playing billiards during her junior high school days that Netizens have found!

Now *thought that* we saw all sort of things in Kpop so far ..
from Min’s 15 year old’s boobs to Jessica’s rumored pictures of some damn hot french kiss back in her high school day …
but a Middle schooler Drinking, smoking?! is just WOW …
kids are aging so fast these days eh?!
Was she ever pregnant too? you know? Just wondering!
I hate to get surprised!

The situation seems to be pretty nasty out there for her that JYP Entertainment released a statement to her rescue!
“She seems to have tried those out of curiosity when she was a junior high school student. After the pictures showed online, Joo was most confused about it and apologized to us. When she entered the label, she did not drink or smoke at all and only concentrated on her training. Joo is showing regret for the mistakes she committed in the past and will continue on doing her best,” JYP Entertainment commented.

Man, the way it goes ..
Future Korean version of Brittany and Lindsay are just around the corner .. task task!

We think it’s pretty darn sad that right after your debut …
The only news circulating the web about you is how you look total different from your all hyped up promotional posters and even the COVER OF YOUR OWN ALBUM!

But unfortunately that’s the current situation of JOO!
Neitzens as of now are digging up the only pictures available from the JOO we knew
and comparing it with the JOO debuted two days ago!
and everyone is pretty much shocked (just like we were)
asking themselves what is going on with this?!
Is this JYP’s new strategy to get this very ordinary singer some exposure?!
Or the real JOO is someone else for the neitzens yet to find out? LOL!

Seriously, couldn’t they at least make the album’s cover little bit like her?
*That is if there has to be a certain plastic surgery had to be done!*
Or it’s just that the baby is just not too photogenic! awwwwww!
Things we don’t see in this KPOP!

JOO – Debut on Music Bank (Jan 11, 2008)

JOO – Music Core (Jan 12, 2008)

So hows everyone doing? …
How did you like this JYP’s product?

You know what was the first thing I noticed?
That this girl doesn’t look anything like the pictures we saw from her!

Then I swear at some point at the end of the first verse .. I was cringing my teeth and found myself going like “just a little more push, yeah yeah … you can make it to the end of the note!” But overall she sang okay for her debut (first video) ..
Not so well on the second night though~!
But why I’m not impressed with her at all? Why?
And the whole time for some weird reason I was imagining JYP’s face behind the scene LOL .. which whoever have seen JYP on the screen of their monitor or TVs at least once should realized it’s not a pleasant experince at all ^^!

Her first performance is set on January 11 through KBS “Music Bank.”

Joo – 남자 때문에 – Because of a Man [MV]

UPDATE: I’m reading ^ the above song of JYP got so popular and so many other artists asked to buy it … but JYP never gave it away and kept it for JOO! …
well personally, I don’t really see anything special about this ballad song!

All I can say at this point listening to recorded vocal is that she has a cute voice …
We sure will have more opinions when we hear her live!
Couple more info we found around~!
