I knew JYP had something up his sleeves. This time he’s striking 2′oclock with his much anticipated “big” boy band. I thought he had given up this ludicrous idea up because Super Junior and other excessively large idol groups are crowding Kpop. But I should have known better; JYP wants war with Father SM.

Foremost, I must clear up the fog hanging around 2AM, the new JYP boy band under Cube management. 2AM is in fact JYP’s boy band that are just under a surrogate management company and will probably return under JYP Ent. once they become popular. (This apparently happens quite often in the business.) So rest assured, JYP didn’t sell these boys over.

So the bell is striking 2′oclock. But is the moon or the sun up in the sky? How would I know when my curtains are closed? Well the moon came up first because when I woke up, it was pitch dark except the cold moonlight stretching across the floor and 2AM, JYP’s 4 membered boyband - Jo Kwon, Lee Chang Min, Lim Seul Ong, Jung Jin Woon - made their debut first on July 11.  Just like the moon, 2AM wasn’t as spectacular as the sun but I still felt a shimmer of its pale beauty despite my grogginess. I got back into bed and I woke up the next day at 2PM and the sun was ablaze above the skyblue. I’ll interpret my allegory for you: 2PM, another JYP boy group coined as the “dance team”, is set to debut very soon. They will consist of the rest of the Hot Blood Boys- Kim Junsu, Park Jae Bum, Ok Taek Yeon, Hwang Chan Sung, Lee Jun Ho (Rain’s twin), Nick Khun (Thai hottie), and Chang Woo Young - that will join up with the 2AM “vocal team” to stand as JYP’s 11-membered “2′oclock” lunch break.

JYP sure has a pocket full of surprises. I’ll be looking forward to their comeback….until then, sleep tight and sweet dreams <3.

P.S. I think 2AM should have debuted with this upbeat song “What Do I Do”:

Lee Hyori released her REAL teaser and it looks like an explicit pink bunny sleep over. She definitely lives up to being “Hyorish”. Unfortunately, 5 tracks on her album were leaked a day before the album was to be released. (Yeah right, this attention whore was using the oldest marketing ploy in history and, besides, she needs all the publicity she can get.) Thus Hyori decided to pull her album release date 1 day earlier, from July 13 to July 12.
On another note, I think the battle of the sexy divas between Uhm Jung Hwa and Hyori just heated up. Hyori’s title song is “U Go Girl” and Hyori - you go girl! - because the song was top-notch and I am looking forward to the live performance. As for the album, Hyori put much time and effort into it to release a full, 13-track album.  UJH’s mini-album contains 6 stellar songs that are great to dance to at a club, in contrast, Hyori showcases a colorful assortment of tracks that are hip, mellow, sexy, and unique. Lastly, I must add that Lee Hyori displays impressive maturity in her vocals. In her last album, she was basically gasping for air, but her voice has definitely changed into a strong, deep voice that shows her confidence.

Just imagine you’re standing on a bridge and you confess: I loovvvvveeeeee yoooouuuu~ Then an echo comes back: ” I looooovvvveeee yoooouuuuu toooo!” You look around hastily across the meadow, shading your eyes from the blinding sun, to find out the origin of this mysterious voice but the field around you is quiet and peaceful except for the murmuring stream. Saddened, you look down into the water below and see the reflection of your love smiling back at you….You smile back and let out a bright laughter. And then you remember, you are standing on Echo Bridge.

Isn’t this an idyllic dream? I know it has nothing to do with the artist Eco Bridge, but I was day-dreaming. On the other hand, Eco Bridge released his second album with a sweet love song “Starting Love” that’s perfect for passing your Saturday lull. The music video is amusing and idiosyncratic.

If you’re brave, leave your echoes below, revealing who you love most. (I’m sure there’s bound to be someone going ‘I love Jaejoong’….let’s hear it, whether it be your first love, your true love, or your idol obessession.)

have fun, people!

Translation of text in pictures:
pic1: July 4, 2008 KBS Musicbank - letters found in the trash can located in SNSD’s dressing room
pic2: Picture of Kwon Yuri entering Musicbank on SNSD’s fansite “sosiz”
pic3: another picture that was uploaded along with pic2
pic4: when enlarged…Kwon Yuri holding the fan letters she received in her hands
pic5: Among the fan letters that were thrown in the trash, you can see the letter written to Yuri enlarged
pic6: Kwon Yuri holding the same letter and photo that was found in the trash

The pictures above were posted by a Soshi fan onto several Korean Soshi fan sites and fan cafes. Soshi fans were so dumbfounded by this incident that they have still not fully recovered from the initial shock to deal with this issue (aka SNSD’s Greatest Insult towards Soshi fans).

So there go the fan letters. I’ve been wondering what the artists do with the enormous number of fan letters and now I know. (Of course they have to throw them all away, how stupid of me to think they might, somehow, keep the letters under their pillows or hand the letters to the recycling center, *sigh* such a waste of paper.)

Anyway, some Sushi fan at Daum wants netizens to spread this…shit explanation she wrote so that the “truth” can get out (how noble…pfft). So we think, yeah, why not? We’ll give you a hand, Sushi fan. SNSD is too innocent to throw the fans letters in the trash can anyway, right? The only devil who could do such an evil thing was the cleaning lady, right?

[Translation]
I’m a Soshi fan.
One of my dad’s friends is an insider at Music Bank and when one of the staff positions open up, he calls me and I work there as a side-job. What I do is is what everyone can do, like doing random chores and filling requests..
For example, I move clothes around and do other random chores while poking into SNSD’s dressing room to see their faces once in a while.
Just like other times, my father’s friend called me up and I went in as a Music Bank staff on July 4. I was doing various work when I happened to go into SNSD’s dressing room. The cleaning lady mistook me as a Soshi fan and directed me towards the fan letters and asked, “Are you not taking these?” I replied that I wasn’t SNSD’s manager. Then the cleaning lady said “Ah, then I should throw them all away” and she threw them in the trash. Among the discarded fan letters were some that were torn open. When I saw pictures of fan letters thrown away by SNSD floating around the internet, I wrote this. Because I am a staff member and must follow the rules accordingly, I cannot take any pictures..For peope who have read this, I hope they spread this quickly.

Here’s her proof that she was there - a flimsy piece of paper with the schedule of performances…

And of course we will also give a hand to Cartel to spread the love. This level-headed Cartel fan nicely offered a very succint summary of the situation:

[Translation]
Shit Soshi fans are accusing antis of making of this up
Precisely speaking, this is not made up.
But this does not mean that SNSD personally threw it away.
IT’s true that the letters were delivered to SNSD, who took them
And these letters were accidently thrown away by the cleaning lady

It seems like people haven’t used a digital camera before
The date that appears on a digital camera does not automatically adjust when the date is not set or it runs out of batteries.
The owner of the digital camera can change the date however they want
(soyboy-this issue came up when a netizen showed that the digital date imprinted onto the photos were dated from 6/29/2008)

Anyway, the conclusion is that this is not a fraudulent claim and that the letters were delivered to SNSD, who recieved them but did not responsibly take care of them. The cleaning lady who didn’t know anything threw away the letters and the fans took photos of these discarded letters in the trash.

Soshi fans should not rashly accuse Cartel fans of creating a conspiracy and cuss them out.

Have a nice sleep everyone! That’s very random, I know, but I have this urge to make a friendly closing or something.
