Back again this week with an update on the most interesting happening of last week. Aren’t y’all glad you get all the news in one short burst?

I thought I would start this weeks segment with some happy news…

Yoo JaeSuk finally ties the knot

I don’t know about you guys, but I absolutely love this guy. He’s an unbelievably talented MC who never stops entertaining you no matter what he does. I would watch a show with him sitting in a garden shed all on his lonesome with only a juicer to entertain himself with. And I would know I would be laughing throughout. Yoo JaeSuk married announcer Na KyoungUn on the 6th this week, we wish the couple a long, happy and healthy life together.

Shin JungHwan injured

This week was somewhat happy since mostly celebrities managed to stay away from hospitals due to being overworked. And then we got word that lovable celebrity and funnyman Shin JungHwan was in an accident. Mr. Shin was riding his bicycle near his home in Seoul where he was forced to make an emergency turn to avoid an oncoming collision with a rushed vehicle. This resulted in multiple injuries to his forehead, pelvis, knee, and back. He has not taken part in his plentiful programs which he is a host and a regular, and it is not entirely clear when he shall continue his schedule. We hope Mr. Shin a quick recovery. Our television sets sure will miss him.

Is it just me, or are Korean celebrities kinda cursed? O_O

Wonder Girls far too popular

“How much do you like me?”

Apparently with the immense popularity of the Wonder Girls’ “So Hot”, Broadcasting stations are begging them to stop promoting the song in order to give other artists a ‘chance’ in getting the top spot. The idea that they’ve been asked to stop promoting it because of how popular it is, is quite amusing. Why can’t the other artists just up the ante and produce better music to challenge the top spot? That would be great for everyone, then perhaps the Korean Music Industry would come out of that God awful slump it’s in, and CDs will be worth buying.

In other news, the Wonder Girls have also started another dance trend this year, and the following UCC is proof, check out the so-called Kindergarten Teacher dancing to their current too popular single. (she strips off her trousers and shirt to reveal a leopard print top and hot pink shorts, it’s creating a buzz on the internet).

Oh JungHyuk, Korean Johnny Bravo

Damn. he’s pretty

Aptly named that by our very own soyboy, Ex- Click B member Oh JungHyuk returns with a new image. He seems to have bulked up a bit too, but nothing like the cartoon heart-throb we know and love. His music has seemed to take a turn for the better too, the song sets the summer mood, check it out.

How awesome is Seouls’ club scene gonna be this Summer?

Sexy Diva updates

Uhm JungHwa and Lee HyoRi were set for a Summer Comeback, and it really is starting to sizzle. Lee HyoRi is somewhat lagging in her release, but as we covered earlier this week, JungHwa has blown us away and has clearly taken the lead in the Sexy Diva Showdown. Hyori released the teasers officially, and I’m sure they’re still after the guy that released them, damn his smarts, (if only he left some breadcrumbs for them to follow). Uhm JungHwa although ageing well, seems to have misplaced her contacts. What in the hell is up with those orange bangs?

And there’s also another new Boy Band to look forward to, ‘U-Kiss’…

Or however long we feel a week lasts…

Shenyuepop prides itself in how fast the news drops in our forums, and it seems that you guys here in the blog are a deprived of condensed, up-to-date news. So here is a recap of the last 7 days in K-Entertainment. (For those who didn’t realize that Shenyuepop has a forum, you’ve missed out.)

Kim HyunJoong cast as Hanazawa Rui in Korean ‘Hana Yori Dango’:

Now whoever said reality Tv is only 15 minutes of fame and then history is probably wishing he lived in Korea. Because evidently, that’s not the case in good old Seoul. The celebrities in these ubiquitous reality shows are gaining immense popularity and plenty of offers for great gigs. Now before anyone mentions it, we know it’s not ‘finalized’, but releasing the news on practically all news sites and newspapers tells you that they have cast him but are checking on the public response first. Poor ‘Group Eight’ has been planning this remake of the Jdrama for a while now and wants to make sure that people will tune in, no matter how ‘mediocre’ the acting may be. No one else is officially cast and it will be broadcast early next year on KBS.

SS501 Number 2 in Oricon Daily Chart

Staying on course of the SS501 members it seems that they’re finally seeing the fruits of their labours and scored an impressive Number 2 on the Daily Oricon Charts. Well done boys, though I do wonder how well they speak Japanese.

Lee Hyori wants to catapult herself into a Pop Art icon

Hyori tries to pull off a vintage, pop art feel. Instead, she puts Andy Warhol to shame and ends up looking kitsch.

As well as scoring a great Vidal Sassoon CF where she practically gets all hair products for free and a guarantee for great looking locks all through out the rest of the year, Sister Hyori has had still images of her MV leaked as well as the audio. This is a great shame since of course, it was meant to be officially released in a few more days. Now news has it that Mnet (Lee Hyori’s Management) are super duper unbelievably mad at the leak and swear on their souls that they’re going to catch the guy that did it. Lucky for them that this leakage gives a little extra publicity to her mildly anticipated Summer Comeback. News also has it that Hyori’s a little upset, and with all that tough filming in gorgeous Hawaii, who can blame her?

Check out the leaked teaser:

Here are the leaked still images from the MV.

Stars dropping like flies:

Who hasn’t been to the hospital lately in the K-Entertainment world? It seems like stars left, right and center are finding themselves bitten by that dreadful fatigue bug. For a small country they really know how to get all they want from their stars, wearing them out and forcibly sending them to the hospital inorder to rest. Latest victims to this horrible celeb virus are MC Mong, actress Lee Dahae and Big Bang’s TaeYang.

Military Men

Yes, Military men - past, present and near future- are making their rounds in the celeb news circuit this week, and here’s what they’ve been up to.

Singer Sung SiKyung is doing the usual Pre-military man activity boost, where he’s practically everywhere at once. Saucy nerd SiKyung is not only releasing a new album before he parts with his fans, but he also has a now Sold-out concert to croon his way in to hearts that won’t forget him for two years. He also managed to clear that unbelievable scandal he supposedly had with Jewelry star Seo In-Young. Hands up to who ever heard of it and/or believed it.

Singer Eru who hasn’t left the Entertainment scene for that long, posted pictures of himself while performing his patriotic duty at his probably exhausting desk job. It’s understandable that he would be bored since he just sits at a desk all day. I mean don’t all guys that go to the military do that? Yes, I’m being sarcastic. The star doesn’t understand that it’s not just another day at the office but his military service. So I guess its understandable too that netizens gave him a stern chiding, to the extent that poor Eru had to apologise on his personal homepage. Oh Eru, what do they say about idle thumbs?

Kim Jong Kook, the singer freshly out of the military is keeping his already impatient fans still waiting on his comeback album, as he is putting off the recording for a wedding. Not his, but friend MC Yoo Jaesuk. He promised to sing at his wedding and canceled his already booked flights just to stay faithful to that promise. How sweet.

Return of A Legend

It’s been something some fans have been waiting years for, and it’s completely justified. Seo Taiji is finally making his comeback this summer and this week it was announced that he will have some absolutely killer artists lined up to perform at his Music Festival, also staged as his comeback. The ETPFest scheduled for the 16th of August in Seoul is organised by Seo Taiji’s company and have lined up a large array of National and International artists. Clazziquai were confirmed this week for the gig on the eve of the festival. Marilyn Manson is also coming to Korea to scare the land of the morning calm.

Oh yeah and that dude Ajoo is making his comeback too. He seems to have the ‘Papparazzi’ stalking him.
