Ever since DSP Entertainment decided to get off their lazy butts, they’ve started to promote their artists even more than ever! Kim Sung Hee of girl-group, KARA, has left the group and the company is now looking for 2 new girls for the replacement, making it a 5-member girl group, instead of the 2nd generation Fin.K.L. If you are interesting in becoming a KARA member, please visit http://ucsing.mnet.com/

It has been said that Kim Sung Hee has left the group because she was being teased for lacking intellectual abilities. Evidence: she graduated from high school but failed to get accepted by the colleges she applied for. Most parents don’t usually approve of their children being in the entertainment industry. Kim Sung Hee’s father is no exception so she left the group to focus on her studies. The new KARA will be releasing a mini album in late spring or early summer.
Read more in the forum ^^

Now that DSP has started fresh again, Xing Entertainment has gone into the state that DSP wasin. Kevin of the group Xing, has left the group. Yup, Kevin, the cute English-speaking kid! It wasn’t long ago when they announced a new member to the group.

Click here to read the message he left ^^
And did you guys know that there was a Kim Kibum (aka Marumir) in this group, but he left the group last year in July. Kim Kibum is the brother of SS501’s Kim Hyung Joon!

Speaking of people leaving, Eru is set and ready for his military service! Eru will be going in on May 1st and will no longer be attending the Hollywood Bowl. Because of that, the coolest dad in Korean Entertainment, Tae Jin Ah, will not be attending this year’s HB either. For more info on the HB, check it out here on the forum. It was only about a week ago when Kangta went in, and now Eru! Now I wish I worked for the Korean military…so many celebrities are going in or have gone in already this year! The Shinhwa boys will be going in together later this year while Jinhwan of 1TYM will be coming out this summer.

In China, it has “apparently” been confirmed that SJ-M moved into a dorm and will be staying there for 2 whole years! Congratulations Mr. SM, you’ve started a war with the fans, split the fans into two and now you’re splitting the boys up. Oh wait, you had already split up the boys the moment Kibum went into hiding in the US of A and when SJ-M debuted! And Heechul is no longerstill a hobo! It was only yesterday that we reported on his new look, but he decided to shave it all off because of the and from the response from fans, staff, and friends, they’re not really liking it. I guess his envy for Epik High’s Mithra had gone too far. When he decided to grow it out, Mithra on the other hand, had shaved everything off for Epik High’s new album! Click here for more info on SJ-M’s album.

Epik High will be releasing their 5th album on April 17th.

It is titled Pieces, Part One and it is unknown if there will be a second part but I’m thinking there most likely will be one. The boys are quite mysterious! Epik High has been promoting this album since April 10th with posters posted up all over the place and counting down the days till the release dates. New posters were being posted up and ripped off each day to get everyone hyped up.
The MV is now available in here in our forum

Eru, which we didn’t know till today was apparently a U.S.-born!
We knew he went to school in USA, but was he really born here?
It’s said that he gave up his American citizenship two years ago and acquired a Korean one (that’s when he debuted as a singer). That’s because great land of Korea doesn’t allow dual citizenship!

Now, there is news out there that the guy is going to serve in the Korean military next year. Eru’s agency said the exact timing of the singer’s military service is yet to be set, but it will likely be in the second half of next year.

Eru for the first time after his debut, he is going to hold his first solo concert in February at Yonsei University. According to KBS GLOBAL, the concert news made the headlines especially after the news spread that his father, veteran trot singer Tae Jin-ah, will appear as a guest at his son’s concert.

We are thinking more like … this military news out of the blue is more to help selling couple more tickets for his concert … the same as for his father’s appearance as a concert’s guest! *Ajummas in line*

Fun MV for sure …. I would totally wanna work for the guy too ^^… the only drawback is his over controlling aboji! Seirously i think i even saw his father in the Music Video!
But what can you do? *sigh*

The guy is busy promoting his new song left and right these days, the latest news is that he performed his new song up in 2007 Baseball Golden Glove Awards … which the awards itself was all over the news! Here is that fan video of the event!

Here is his 3rd album tracks for those of you didn’t find a chance to check it out yet ^^
