We just learned the hilarious popular variety show “Yashim Man Man” is going through a temporary break for about a year, and the show is going to have it’s final episode on January 14th.
YSMM is not being canceled permanently according to SBS, but will be taking a temporary break and will return next year with “YSMM Season 2,” an upgraded version with a new format. Meanwhile, Shin Dong Yup’s “Challenge 8 vs. 1″ will be taking over YSMM’s time slot.
Fan accounts having it the reason behind the story and plans on changing the format is because of the ratings of the show. The ratings apparently have been declining steadily over the past year which worried the producers of the show.
The show, when started in 2004 was apparently one of the few that had celebrities showing up and discussing their private stories and sharing them all with public. But lately, a lot of shows like “Golden Fishery”, “Come to Play”, etc. have created the similar format and that made viewers to not see YSMM as an unique show anymore.
Even though the show was our favorite but we lost track of all those episodes we missed … Hopefully a year is enough to catch up with all those JYP’s episodes we wanted to catch him confess something about his marriage!~ lol!

Now I am mostly a rock girl at heart, but I do like pop…well some pop. Lately I have been getting more into Korean rock music because I feel that kpop is really not doing it for me that much nowadays. Don’t get me wrong I still have love for the many kpop artists that I mentioned in this post, so I haven’t fully given up on kpop. But krock is pulling me more and more to its side these days. So when I come across a group that can pull off both music genres it brings out the little hope I still have for the Korean music industry. Here is a band that I find that does that.
Loveholic is a Korean Pop/Rock group that many of you probably already heard about, but for those that never heard of them before here is some info on them.
The group debuted in 2003 and is made of three members; one girl and two guys. Kang Hyun Min and Lee Jae Hak formed the group in 2002 and they recruited Hwang Ji Sun as the vocalist in 2003.
Kang Hyun Min (강현민)-Guitar
Before forming the group Hyun Min was a pop musican and even produce music for artists like Park Hye Kyung, Shin Hyo Beom, Lee Moon Se, Suh Young Eun, etc. He also created music for many films like Christmas in August, A Pure Love Story and The Wonderful Days.
Lee Jae Hak (이재학)– Bass
He is a veteran songwriter and used to be a member of the band The Elephant.
Hwang Ji Sun (지선)–Vocals
The female vocalist had been singing in Hongdae clubs before auditinoning for the group.
The group’s music has also been featured on Korean motion pictures’ and Korean dramas’ soundtracks: Wonderful Life, My Name is Kim Sam Soon, One Fine Day, 200 Pounds Beauty, The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince, and others.

Sadly Hwang Ji Sun decided to leave the band for a solo career. The band held two concerts on Oct 27 and the 28th to send Ji Sun off. The remaining members Kang Hyun Min and Lee Jae Hak are now looking for a new vocalist for the group. Loveholic Official Site wiki.theppn/Loveholic wikipedia/Loveholic
This song is sad and starts off mellow, but then the rock kicks in after a minute or so.
Nowadays some people have been complaining that this group changed after going mainstream. Which is tipical because that’s what happenes when rock music goes mainstream in Korea(sad I know *sigh*). This song is from their 2005 album. Cheongchunyechan (glorious youth)
This song is kind of jazzy. Roller Coaster–Can’t Hide

Kwon Sang Woo has finally made his return to the small screen in what some people call a hot and steamy drama. It has been 3 years since he’s been on the small screen, but he came back with a bang. Sang Woo stars along side actress Lee Yeo Won, and actor Kim Sung Soo in the drama Bad Love, which aired Dec 3 (last night in Korea). Sang woo stars as a cold hearted person who is in a love triangle with Yeo won and Sung soo.
I personal am really excited to see this new drama, to see Kwon Sang Woo back in action, but I am kind of worry that the drama is the same old same old. You know the story they(korean dramas) do….guy with cold heart fights with girl and pushes her away, then sees her with new love. Later regreting in letting her go and wanting her back, and in the end getting her back.
And also a lot of crying.
I just hope they add something else to spice it up a little.

I know lately we haven’t been bringing the news that much to you guys. Well that’s because we have lives too (like me, working two jobs and going to school). But here is some K-Entertainment that’s out.
In Korea, a big number of women turned out to see Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution” it drew in 385,000 viewers nationwide in seven days since its release on November, 8th. I guess we know what women in their 30s living in Korea wants.

Song Hye-Gyo is getting some help from Hollywood in her U.S debut by having her in one of their upcoming movies “Fetish”, where Hye-Gyo will play a woman with psychic abilities in this thriller. But first you can see her in an Nintendo DS CF.
Song Hye Kyo, Nintendo CF
The only thing I have to say..…..is anyone really waiting for her U.S debut, especially after her horrible acting in the movie “Hwang Jin Yi”?
——————————————————————————————-
I know I did a post on Yoon Eun-Hye about her showing her goodies. Well this time I will give her some praise for her newly found talent as a model. Eun-hye will be seen in the Vogue magazine in their December 2007 issue and in Vogue Girl the Korean verson.
In the December issue of Vogue, she will take on the appearance as a…..swan? Yes! That is right! Using her acting abilities and new found model ability, she actually pulls it off gracefully.
And in Vogue Girl she is showing more of her sweet and seductive side.
——————————————————————————————-
Speaking of Yoon Eun-Hye….she along with Rain were selected as China’s favorite Hallyu stars. Each receiving the highest votes taken from a Chinese website survey by the International Reelection Hallyu Channel. Eun-Hye received 2,811,769 votes in the female catogary and Rain received 2,193,388 votes in the male catogary.
But not everyone is loving Rain right now. Peta issued a complaint to the Kpop star for wearing fur. They released a statement asking Rain to stop wearing fur saying “You have said that you want to show American women ‘how sweet and loving Asian men are’. Correct us if we’re wrong, but wearing fur is anything but ’sweet’ and there is no ‘loving’ way to rip the skin off a still-twitching animal,”…
I have to say this…..has PETA run out of U.S stars to harasses now they have to pick on Rain. I mean he hasn’t even made his debut yet and they are already tarring his throat.

Ivy should be receiving a sigh of relief after hearing that her ex-boyfriend whom was blackmailing her, was arrested and charged for blackmailing, sending threatening messages, and other charges. Even though Ivy has cancelled all of her Korean activates, she was recently seen on stage in Vancouver, Canada participating in a concert that was scheduled before the scandal broke out. She joined DJ Doc and Tei and others at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, where she received an overwhelming appreciation from the audience that it brought her to tears.
That’s good that she is receiving good will through this ruff patch, but……cough cough… WHERE IS THE SEX TAPE? Trust me I am not the only one thinking that.

JYP has already started his comeback, but I am just wondering why. The dude cannot sing for the life of him…. I hate to say this, but I would rather hear Heechul sing before I listen to him. JYP may have the magic touch in finding talent, but the magic stops with him.
JYP - The House that You Live In & Kiss
Do people really like this?
and what the hell is up with his fashion sense…..
Is he taking fashion tips from Ugly Spice….hummm…..i mean Posh Spice?

JYP’s little protégés the Wonder girls have a new basket Robbin CF. Wonder Girls- Baskin Robins CF [ 35 version ]
They really are going to wear this dance out. Hahahahahah

Lee Hyori will be featured in the December issue of Cosmo(Cosmopolitan) magazine in the spread labeled “Girl’s Party Best Friend” (what ever that’s suppose to mean)…..
and she also has an Soju CF out……
Lee Hyori’s management is saying that she will be taking a year off to attend college. Oh, now i get it….she is featured in the Cosmo spread named “Girl’s Party Best Friend” and she has an Soju cf out, and she’s going to college…..that means only one thing….PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!!!! It’s good to see that she will have her priorities straight. Hahahahahahah

Girls Generation is the new “GirlScout” Ambassadors-from Bellisima @ JPHIP.com
Korean GirlScout League (?), “It’s been 62 years since the founding (of GirlScout) and we are ready to welcome a new society with a new image, different images from eating healthy meals to having the best talent, and so the popular Girls’ Generation was chosen as the ambassador,” on the 28th.
As ambassadors, the GirlScout Federation says they will contribute to campaigns, participate in international events such as camping, be distributed to schools nationwide as GirlScout ambassadors, be promo models for the bimonthly “GirlScout” magazine, and a variety of activites, include photo shootings.
Girls’ Generation, “We are really happy to be represented as GirlScout ambassadors. We want girls’ images to be bright and healthy, so we will work hard.”
The ambassador appointment will take place on February 13, 2008 in Seoul GirlScout Association Hall (?) and they will proceed with plans in the General Assembly in 2008.
————————
Cjlatina—isn’t the GirlScout’s moto suppose to be about being yourself. Where does plastic surgery fall into there….couldn’t they get a group that was more about being unique, instead of the cookie cut-out girls they picked.
——————————————————————————————-
The elves will be seeing less of their Suju gods….well on MBC programs that is. MBC has stated that they will not allow any SM artist to participate in any programs until they receive a offical apology from Mr. SM because of what they feel are unfair pratices. The whole episode is over the fact that Kangin and other members are on MBC and a competing station(SBS) at the same time. Guessing from their argurment MBC programs that have Suju memebers on it are not doing too good compared to SBS’s programs that also features Suju members.
Edit—SM has apologize to MBC. His artists will be able to perform on MBC, but Kangin will not be going back to his MBC MC job. YEAH! For the elves…..boo for the rest of us. lol
~Thanks Jennifer for the update~
——————————————————————————————-
Also in news Kangin was rushed to the hospital during the show “Explore the Human Body” .. he started to vomit so bad, they had to take him to the hospital …. there they found out he is having swollen intestine … so he is kept there for further examinations. This is just more proof that SM is working these guys to the bone that every other day someone is going into the hospital.
Sad that this is happening to him….first is his hand and now his intestines. Ouch!
