It’s been a little over a month since I last updated on this guy and just when we thought he was busy a with a girl (or just even busy chasing after girls)…more news of him appears! So here is a little info for the die-hards and a little update for those wanting to know how his life has been in America. He has also signed a deal with one of the three recording companies/labels that attended his LA preview party way back in May but YG or RQM hasn’t released any info on which company or label it is.
The Myspace page has been updated and was officially “opened” yesterday and it includes some pictures of Se7en and the infamous Bentleys that are featured in a lot of YG MVs. YG’s got something going for those Bentleys. There is also a link to Se7en’s Official Online Store, which sells the limited editions of t-shirts but they are only sold in the US (boo!). A Youtube channel has been launched, but it’s not as great as his Myspace, as it’s just full of old MVs and CFs but it brings back a lot of memories! But I guess it’s better than nothing for now and we shouldn’t be complaining because the PR team has made a lot of updates in the past few weeks. Also, for you crazy and addicted Facebookers, there is an Official Se7en Facebook Group and Se7en’s very own Facebook profile, though I’m sure the profile page and group is not ran by him…
SE7EN Myspace Greeting Video
Great video. As for the English, you decide.
For me, it’s great and I love the “I love you guys” part!
Apparently, Se7en will be a special surprise guest at the 2008 International Secret Agents Concert on September 7th. Other attendees include Far East Movement, whom Se7en collaborated with for his debut album, and Wong Fu Productions.
And the question we’ve all been waiting for…”when is he debuting?” No clue. But I know it’s soon. I read somewhere (don’t remember where >.<) that it’s supposed to be early next year. Like what Se7en said in the video above, patience is the way to go! At least he’s made it further than Rain has.
Last but not least, photoshoot sneak preview!

My sincerest apologies again for the lateness of this weeks update. Before we begin I would like to pass on my respects and condolences to Lee Eons’ family for their great loss. Rest In Peace.
This is the update for the past week, Monday 11th to Sunday 17th.
Festival rocks Jamsil to pieces
Two big Concerts took place in two Jamsil stadiums last week, ETPfest and SMTownLive ‘08. There were strange things to pick up in the media about one of them, but clearly they were both marked as successful. ETPfest opened up to a sold out audience opening its doors to over 40,000 spectators within the two days of the festival. The show was undoubtedly awesome and I think we can all be envious to those of which that attended. SMTownLive opened to Jamsil Olympic stadium with a less than enthusiastic response, but still went on to get a lot of positive remarks from the media due to the Big Name performers there.
Big Bang got busy
With Big Bang releasing their mini-album ‘Stand Up‘, it’s no surprise that they would be in the limelight a lot. With the Olympics still going on there is not much attention paid on the Celeb world or Music world since all eyes are on Beijing, yet Big Bang have found their own way to still pop up on the Media Radar.
First it was their crazy concert in Thailand:
Before they started their official promotions of their new mini-album the Big Bang boys held a concert in Thailand, causing many a fan girl to faint. 20 to be exact and it seems YG Entertainment was proud to mention it. “Our boys are studs and can knock you out with a look” is what they said in my head, after mentioning that.
The release of two MVs within a week.
It took a while to get here, “haru haru” of Big Bang that is, yet as soon as they released that MV with actress Park Min Young, we got another surprise with the release of “Oh My Friend” featuring the psychotically entertaining No Brain. I am all for promotion of underrated KRock Artists mainly because the underground K-Music scene is full of awesome talent, but seriously I couldn’t let ‘haru haru’ sink in and then got bombarded with “oh my friend”. Big Bang make it up though with being cute, and well seeing G-Dragon as a mental patient is always nice….
Thailand got lucky
Well to me, they did. Not only did they get Big Bang but soon after they left, Epik High came for promotions and a showcase for over 1000 fans. “We went there without much expectation, and it turned out we have a lot of fans here in Thailand. We were shocked when they sang along with us during our showcase performances. We have a tight schedule here, we are not feeling tired and is advancing smoothly.” Is what Tablo said on a phone interview about their trip. Any Thai fans out there willing to take me in next time they have Epik High around? Better yet any Thai fans that attended either event of Big Bang and Epik High?
SHINee need mouth to mouth resuscitation.
Noona’s, you wish. Well it’s a play on words to SHINees’ new single “You’re like Oxygen” that they teased us with the week before. The 5 young boys performed it at SMTownLive ‘08 (which was like a promotional tool for the upcoming SM plans to be honest), to a big happy response from fans. I am still waiting on the official MV, but in the forums you can get a listen. I hear only Michael Jackson with this song and as the official release is due tomorrow, wait for that. Although there is some controvercy surrounding the originality of this track, I am still giggling at their attempts to man-up these cute little boys.
lol, Beware of Darth Vader JungHyun….
It’s Wonder JIN?
Mnet is always the place to be for young music pop fans and their events are always fun to keep an eye on. You are bound to get some drama and interesting footage to keep you entertained till the next years version. And Mnet doesn’t want this years Mnet 20’s Choice (last years was the first), to go without some major attention. It’s not enough with their weird awards and choices but they have a strange collab stage going too. Jun Jin of Shinhwa and the Wonder Girls are going to share the stage for something, apparently spectacular. Well that’s what the PD is insisting on (I love how PDs get attention in SK don’t you?), and the PD also claims that after the performance it will by number 1 on search engines…. Ok, we will have our eyes on your project PDnim, but expect our laughter recorded and sent in a package to you if it ends up a joke….
Bae YongJoon forever young
In the heart and soul. The beloved Hallyu star had shoulder surgery recently after his well publicised shoulder ligament injury. After the two injuries Mr. Bae YongJun received after filming his last blockbuster he has been recuperating in the States and now will remain in the hospital for a week. South Korea’s prize smile should keep himself fitter and safer so he can swoon more Ajummas in to the Hallyu Wave…
East of Eden, right down the street
This has gotten tongues wagging for a while now with the uber awesome cast. The cast has a lot of big time names in it that leave your head reeling. Song Seung Hun, Yun Jung Hoon, Park Hae Jin, Lee Da Hae, Lee Yeon Hee, Han Ji Hye, Dennis Oh, Jo Min Ki, Lee Mi Sook, Kim Bum, Shin Eun Jung and many more are set to star in it. The teaser has finally been released and it will be interesting to tune in and see how this drama goes. The plot speaks of revenge, murder and ill-doings, definitely something to watch with a cup of tea and chocolates. Bring it on MBC.
The teaser:
damn, be prepared for drama, drama, drama and needless shedding of tears…

Unfortunately and once again, none of our staff members were able to go to the event…but we still have the news for you ^^
Many people attended the event and said it was a great party and from seeing the clips taken, I can already tell it was 9201759048903468 times better than the one in NYC!
Like reported before, he performed his three songs live with his dancers too! He also had a dance battle with the Black Eyed Peas. After hearing a better version of “Girls” at http://redqueenmedia.com all day yesterday, and then listening to “Money Can’t Buy Me Love” all day today, I think I’m in love with “Money Can’t Buy Me Love” more, even though it sounds like a Timbaland song! During the performance, money was thrown out to the crowd and written on the bills was Se7en’s official MYSPACE!! The Myspace has been launched but is still under construction, which you can tell when you visit it ^^ Teddy of 1TYM, who wrote the song, couldn’t make it to the event because he was held back in Korea for some reason but Mr. YG, Far East Movement, Three 6 Mafia and a whole bunch of music-industry-known people were there was there, as well as about 2000 party go-ers!
Thanks to javabeans at dramabeans for writing a review of the party and I definitely recommend everyone to read it ^^ Click here to read it
Red Queen Media, who is also promoting Se7en, said the album will drop on July 7th but the date is just an estimate and hasn’t been confirmed yet. Also, the album consists of 12 songs and they plan to promote him for the big screen (movies) as well!
