But when PSY came out first with ‘Gentleman,’ I changed the title of my track to ‘Superman’ but it didn’t sound as good,” and “In the end, it became a non-title track and the title track that was created afterwards was ‘Your Story.’”


About the diving mission that he went through in “Barefoot Friends,” Kim Hyun Joong commented, “I had to jump from a height that’s around four or five stories high. It wasn’t easy to overcome my fears and I was scared every time I jumped. I only jumped because the cameras were rolling,” and “If you’re a celebrity, whether it’s 10 meters or 20 meters, you can always jump if the cameras are rolling.”

It was not too long ago when a teaser for her upcoming reality show “Lee Hyori’s X Unni” was released. A comment by celebrity boyfriend Lee Sang Soon made people question whether Lee Hyori left all the wedding planning to him.


Maybe the noisy gossip got too loud because on July 31, she went straight to her Twitter to leave a message. “There have been articles floating around since morning saying that my marriage is all an act. There must be a lot of people who are worried that something might have happened~^^”


She continued, “I’ve always wanted a small and quiet wedding since a long time ago and with Sang Soon oppa’s agreement, along with our families, we decided to forego the wedding ceremony. Since it’s a special day that should be only experienced once (^^), and since it’s an important day, I want to spend a quiet and quality time with oppa and family.”

Requests for JYJ’s Junsu to Perform Flood In But PDs Remain Silent soompah.blogspot.com

soompah.blogspot.com ® Requests for JYJ’s Junsu to Perform Flood In But PDs Remain Silent

Fans are getting upset due to the fact that music show PDs from the three main channels are ignoring their requests to see JYJ‘s Junsu perform on stage.


Forums for SBS’s “Inkigayo,” MBC’s “Show! Music Core” and KBS’s “Music Bank” have been overflowing with viewer requests for Junsu’s appearance.


One post read, “Until when are the broadcasters going to let the big entertainment agencies run things? Viewers are sick of the same celebrities who appear on TV every day and it’s not fun anymore and no one watches the shows anymore,” and “The FTC issued a sanction against those unfair practices that the big agencies are executing so I think Junsu should be given a chance. Junsu is one of K-Pop’s frontrunners and I want to see him perform on stage in Korea.”


However, the program staff members are not responding to these requests and are staying silent. The program staff members have even reportedly, avoided calls from news reporters on this matter.


A particular source in the music industry commented, “No matter how bad the viewership ratings are, the music program PD has the most power,” and “If rookie artists want to be on the show, they need to personally meet the PD, which is said to be more difficult than recording an album. With this kind of system, there’s no reason for the PD to really pay attention to JYJ.”


Another source commented, “From the broadcaster’s perspective, if they had to choose between SM’s countless artists, actors, comedians and JYJ, anyone would choose SM,” and “But it’s not all up to the PD who takes care of the recruiting issues. It’s only right that they release some kind of statement about this.”


Previously, the FTC issued sanctions against SM Entertainment and a distribution company for interfering with JYJ’s activities.


Stay tuned for more updates on this matter.

It has been reported that Wheesung, who is currently serving in the military, has been sentenced to three days in military jail for using his personal cell phone without permission.


Wheesung’s lawyer Son Soo Ho commented, “While Wheesung was serving as an army drill sergent in Nonsan, he suffered injuries on his back and scalp so he had to be admitted to the military hospital. During his hospital stay, he used his cell phone so he received a three day military jail time sentence.”


The laweyer continued, “Therefore, Wheesung’s discharge has been delayed for three days. His discharge date was August 6 but now has turned into August 9.”


“Wheesung used his phone at the hospital and not at the army training base. At the time, he was being accused of propofol abuse so he spent some time on the phone with people who would help him get cleared of those suspicions. He did not danger the security of the base and as a drill sergent, he diligently carried out his military life and even received many merits.”


Previously, Wheesung was investigated for accusations of propofol abuse. His lawyer stated in the past, “Wheesung was investigated for propofol abuse, but was cleared of charges. He received normal amounts of propofol while treating his back injuries and his alopecia areata. The number of times he received the drug was very small and he showed no signs of dependence or addiction to it at all.”


Meanwhile, other celebrity soldiers such as Sangchu and Se7en also received military jail sentences for violating military conduct on several counts.

miss A‘s Suzy recently shared her struggles and hardships as a young star.


On July 29, Suzy was a guest on “Healing Camp” where she talked about why she burst into tears during the “Gu Family Book” press conference not too long ago. She said, “I suddenly started crying. It was because of several things.”


She continued, “I always try to think positively. I feel more comfortable if I’m at a disadvantage and I don’t like to butt heads with people. I could bear the physical exhaustion but I couldn’t express the scars I received from people. Everything started to build up and when I kept thinking that I should hold it in, it just exploded.”


“There were a lot of instances where I was looked down upon because I am young. People tell me ‘you don’t know because you’re too young’ but on the other hand, they expect me to act like an adult. These kinds of contradictions really made me mad,” she explained.


Suzy continued, “Even though my schedule was so full that I couldn’t rest, it wasn’t hard. Being exhausted from being busy just means that many people want to see me, which makes me happy. But I want to have time to learn and do one thing well but since I’m so busy, there’s a lot of times when I just have to do it.”


Lastly, Suzy added, “In the end, I had signs of depression. I wondered if I could continue to live like this and if I could endure through all of this tomorrow once again. Once, I was just laughing and talking with my friend and I suddenly started to cry.”

Lee Hyori recently proved to the world that she’s a “Bad Girl,” but her fans know deep down that she’s a good girl who advocates animal rights and encourages charity culture in Korea. But, she is also known and loved for her blunt personality on variety shows and knowing when to go from glam to casual.

In the teaser, boyfriend and musician Lee Sang Soon asked if Fin.K.L. will sing the congratulatory song. However, it fell on deaf ears with Hyori busy typing away on her keyboard. She got up quickly because she had somewhere to go and he asked if he’s the only one taking care of the wedding planning.

A Closer Look at Talented Girl Group Trio Odd Eye Pt. 2 soompah.blogspot.com

soompah.blogspot.com ® A Closer Look at Talented Girl Group Trio Odd Eye Pt. 2

We previously found out that mutation, with the right combinations and luck, can be a thing of beauty. As such, this is what String-Pop trio Odd Eye aims to do: create a hybrid of classical and pop music, and mutate the overly repetitive K-Pop industry into a new form of exciting music.


Check out Part 1: A Closer Look at Talented Girl Group Trio Odd Eye


Step 4. Recording studio where Odd Eye recorded its debut track


The members are hard at work after contemplating for a long time about taking a chance at a new genre. They built a framework by writing scores that fits their instrumentation, creating melody guides, and adding lyrics. After much practice, they made a demo and would repeat the whole process. And finally! The first recording they hoped for has happened.


oddeye 1


They recorded in the studio Mojo Sound where many big celebrities have come to do their thing. The place might be a little over-the-top (?) for Odd Eye’s first recording, but it’s great to take some of the good ki of many good singers and also work with the skilled and talented engineers. Usually, the recording would focus on singing, but it’s a little different with Odd Eye because the members have to lay the track with their instruments first. Even though the group studied their respective instruments more than voice, but strings is a very sensitive instrument, which needs much precision.

Lee Jin Wook (pianist and Odd Eye’s producer) and Soolee (DJ and sound engineer) are fully focused to get the best sounds from the group. Hayule looks so cute fighting off hunger even with the temptation of pizza right in front of her as she focuses on work.

After rumors started floating around that Kara member Goo Hara and model-turned-actor Lee Soo Hyuk were spotted on a date in Japan, the agencies of both parties have come to state that the two are just friends.

It stated to several news agencies, “It is true that Goo Hara met Lee Soo Hyuk in Japan, but the two are just friends.”


DSP Media explained to Star News, “Model-turned-actor Kim Young Gwang was Goo Hara’s partner in the Kara’s upcoming five-episode drama ‘Secret Love,’ and he is friends with Lee Soo Hyuk. Goo Hara came to become friends with Lee Soo Hyuk too. Goo Hara is in Japan currently, promoting Kara’s new Japanese single, ‘Thank You Summer Love,’ and since Lee Soo Hyuk came to visit Japan, Goo Hara just showed him around Harajuku.”


Lee Soo Hyuk’s agency, Sidus, also denied that the two were dating, stating to Asia Today, “The two are not dating. They are just friends and are like brother and sister. Lee Soo Hyuk went to Japan for personal reasons, and when he heard that Goo Hara was in Japan, he just met up with her.”


Meanwhile, it was revealed this past March that Goo Hara and her boyfriend, BEAST‘s Yong Jun Hyung, broke up after a two-year relationship.

Park Shi Hoo Writes Deep and Heartfelt Letter to Fans soompah.blogspot.com

soompah.blogspot.com ® Park Shi Hoo Writes Deep and Heartfelt Letter to Fans

On July 29, Park Shi Hoo wrote a heartfelt letter to his fans, revealing his deep thoughts and feelings about his overall situation.


He posted this letter on his fan cafe with the title, “2AM In America…”


The letter reads, “My pen feels heavy for trying to put all my complicated feelings for all this time into a single letter. It’s been over ten minutes since I have gripped this pen. How can I express this feeling of not being able to write a single word and hesitating?”


“First, I want to sincerely apologize for causing you all to worry. After the incident, as Park Pyung Ho and not Park Shi Hoo, it was even difficult to see my family, relatives and close aquiantances. It seemed like the world knew my face and everyone was saying bad things about me, which scared me,” it continued.


“What makes me feel even more burdened and breaks my heart is the guilt I have for scarring all of my fans who truly loved me and wondering if I could ever face you all ever again,” he said, expressing his sorry heart.


“However, I am gaining courage by seeing you all, who still stuck by me without change even after this incident,” he added. “Through this, I have lost many things but on the other hand, I was able to gain more and it helped me to realize many things. That you all believe and love me this much. It was so hard but because of your unchanging hearts, I was able to endure through it and you helped me to gain courage,” he explained.


Park Shi Hoo continued, “When you’re happy and when you’re sad, the first thing you think about is your family. You all are like that to me. Right after this case was over, the ones I wanted to run to and meet first, the ones I wanted to see were you all but because I couldn’t, I am writing to you like this. Words that I yelled out thousands and tens of thousands of times in my heart: thank you. With all of my heart, I thank you.”


“Because I have you all as my family, I am able to dream once again and prepare myself to go out to the world once again. I can’t tell you when that will be but I will definitely show you a stronger me, a more matured actor,” he said.


Finally, he wrote, “Just like the long and intense summer monsoon this year, a strong rain has fallen. But the earth hardens that much more after it overcomes the rain. When that time comes, I hope all of us can greet each other with smiles and bright faces. Until then, please continue to fill up my lacking spots, hold my hand when I try to go backwards, push me from behind when I’m climbing a steep road. Lastly, I want to apologize once again for causing great worry to you all. And thank you.”


Park Shi Hoo’s long and arduous legal battle with actress-in-training “A” has finally come to an end in May.

Park Bom Frowned Upon for Not Wearing Seat Belt During “Running Man” soompah.blogspot.com

soompah.blogspot.com ® Park Bom Frowned Upon for Not Wearing Seat Belt During “Running Man”

2NE1‘s Park Bom has recently been criticized for not wearing her seat belt.


The 2NE1 members were guests for the July 28 episode of “Running Man” for an “Alien Race” special.


During the episode, Park Bom and Minzy became a team with Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Kwang Soo. After completing their first mission, the four of them got into a car to move to the next location.


During the car ride, viewers spotted Park Bom not wearing her seat belt. This was even more noticeable since all of the seat belts had a yellow “Seat Belts For All Seats” sign fastened.


Everyone in the car, including people from the other team’s car with the other 2NE1 members, were seen wearing their seat belts but only Park Bom did not have hers on.

Although it isn’t against the law to not wear your seat belt in the backseat, there have been campaigns for every single person to wear their seat belt in the car, due to the high traffic accident death rate in South Korea. The Korean lawmakers are pushing to have mandatory seat belt laws implemented by 2013.


Therefore, viewers and netizens frowned upon Park Bom’s no-seat belt scenes.


After this became an issue, Jo Hyo Jin PD of “Running Man” commented, “Park Bom was wearing her seat belt at first. But there was a part where the car stopped for a moment and people got of the car, including Park Bom. After she got back in, she forgot to put back her seat belt. We will be more careful in the future.”
