SS501 Article on Allkpop

I just read an article on allkpop saying that SS501 will become SS301....EXCUSE ME? Has triple S fans died or something? (how insulting) It seems as though it has been somewhat confirmed that Park Jung Min will be leaving DSP for a different entertainment to go into acting. However, he DID NOT say that he will leave SS501. It could be like Shinhwa where everyone has some solo activities but are still together as a group. For example when Kim Hyun Joong went to act in Boys Before Flowers and Park Jung Min did his musical while the rest of the members came out with an album. Either way, I'm sure that Triple S will always support them.

Here is the article that I was talking about: http://www.allkpop.com/2010/07/ss501-to-turn-into-ss301

Fan Friday: Big Bang Paper Models

If you ever wanted your own paper models of your favorite Big Bang members, this site is for you. I've posted about this website before, click here.  I love these paper models, and I've made a few myself.  I think it would be easier using poster board or something more sturdy than regular printer paper... Anyways, no matter what paper you use, you will be sure to love these little paper models.  And, by the way, all the models are FREE. They don't cost anything, but don't try to resell them online (that's just wrong :S).  Random question:  On Jaypark.net, they are selling Jay Park clothes, and I tried to buy them but the transaction isn't going through... is anyone else having this problem?

Top Story Thursday: Seungri Imitates Big Bang?

With all the buzz surrounding Taeyang's comeback album, Big Bang's song "Beautiful Hangover", and other Big Bang matters, my favorite event that has happened in Big Bang is Seungri's imitations of all the Big Bang members on Strong Heart... Seungri's hyeongs imitations can be seen here:

Jay Park's Mini-Album A Hot Seller

Jay Park released his mini-album Nothing On You and has sold nearly 50,000 copies of the album in a time period of a couple of weeks.  The album was special because Jay Park sang his own version of the song while he was living in the U.S. His fan support is huge, and they have kept Jay positive and strong through his entire career... whether it was 2PM or his time in the States.  Jay Park's next move? His message from Twitter under the cut.

"yall doin good? lol get ready for more i aint done yet~"
That was the message posted by Jay Park on his Twitter account.  Maybe he means the fan meeting he is having at Korea University in Seoul? Or maybe it's more songs to be released?  Whatever decision Jay makes, I'm sure his fans will be happy to support and follow him.
Follow Jay Park on Twitter here.

What Kind of OJ is that, Sungmin?!

Sorry, but I'm having issues right now because I can not figure out what kind of orange juice Sungmin is drinking in the picture above.  I was going to post something simple like "Shindong posted a picture of Sungmin drink so-and-so orange juice" but I couldn't figure out what kind of OJ it was!! Not with Photoshop's sharpen tool or 3200% zoom... Sooo.... SUNGMIN IS DRINKING ORANGE JUICE. CHECK OUT SHINDONG'S TWITTER here.

Super Junior's Ryeowook is in a Suit!

Haha, checking out Ryeowook's Twitter today, I found that he posted some pictures of him sleeping/getting his hair styled by some mystery lady... WHILE RYEOWOOK IS IN A SUIT.  And it seems to be on a sidewalk.  Ryeowook is getting ready for a video shoot... or that's what I find from Google Translate (we are looking for Korean translators :D).  I think these K-pop artists know how to get fan girls to go crazy... I mean a suit?!?! Haha, he's asking for it.

Kangta from H.O.T. Donates Concert Profits

If you guys don't know who Kangta is.... he's a Kpop singer from the boy band H.O.T., which was a Kpop group in the 90s.  He was the lead singer and has recently decided to help Chinese children, who live in rural areas that do not have good schooling, get an education.  The original article is under the cut...

Singer Kangta recently held a successful concert in China on July 24th at the Wukesong Gymnasium, all a part of his Kangta Asia Tour 2010. The former H.O.T. member sang a pop medley fused with many popular pop oldies in addition to some of the hit songs from his idol group days such as "Happiness" and "Candy".?He even sang four few songs off of his newly released Chinese album, including "Stupid Disease" and "Everything I Want To Do".

Many other stars came to show their support such as Shin Seung-hoon and Super Junior members Lee-teuk, Eun-hyuk, Shin-dong, and Dong-hae.

More importantly than a successful concert, Kangta donated 1 million yuan (roughly 170,000,000 won) of the concert profits to an organization that focuses on giving proper education of Chinese boys living in the mountain/rural areas.

Wonder Girls to Release MTV Wonder Girls Season 4

The Wonder Girls have announced that they will be releasing their show called "MTV Wonder Girls Season 4." This show will reveal the Wonder Girl's music and their more personal lives.  It is supposed to be a sort of diary for the Wonder Girls and goes through their everyday lives. The original article is under the cut.

The program will introduce how the Wonder Girls, who have advanced to the world music industry, are performing and how they are living their lives in the United States. Their homes in New York and their practicing studio will be unveiled on the program. 

In particular, it will present the preview of the Wonder Girls’ concert entitled “World Stage Live in Malaysia,” which will be held in Malaysia on July 31. At the concert, which more than 15,000 audiences members are expected to attend, the Wonder Girls will perform as the representative singers of Korea, and they will perform along with American singer Katy Perry and German pop rock band Tokio Hotel on the same stage.

The production staff members are planning to show not only their performances onstage, but also their natural appearances in a meeting with Malaysian fans and at the resort while taking a rest. The program will be produced with a total of five episodes, and after the first episode is aired on July 29 at 10 pm, the other episodes beginning from the second episode will be aired every Saturday night at 8 pm from August 7.

MTV had already aired the program entitled “MTV Wonder Girls” from the first season to the third season, and they had introduced the Wonder Girls’ everyday life through the program starting from 2006.

A production staff member said, “We had focused on their cute appearances on and off the stage up until now, but we are planning to introduce the Wonder Girls’ music that has been developed so far in season 4.”

How to Eat Noodles: By Jong Juri and Jonghyun

I was looking around on allkpop and I found a short but hilarious video with Jonghyun and Jung Joori in it... They were showing the world how you should eat noodles. But I'm pretty if I tried to eat noodles like Jung Joori showed me in a very formal restaurant, I'd probably be put in jail. Jung Joori likes very awkward moments! It was only recently that she was kissing Taeyang... Hmmm. The picture above is my interpretation of Jung Joori's noodle-eating position, and the video of her eating noodles with Jonghyun is below the cut...

SS501 in a Mini Drama - Super Star

That's right, SS501 is going to be acting in a new mini drama called "Super Star." Well 3 of the members, Kim Kyu Jong, Kim Hyung Joon, and Park Jung Min. Since Kim Hyun Joong is still filming the new drama "Playful Kiss", he will not be a part of the mini drama. I wonder why Young Saeng did not participate, maybe cause he wants a break? or a rest after the Lasik Surgery he just had recently..? There is going to be 10 episodes, for now. There is no official statement of when it will be aired. Pictures under the cut.

YG Trainer Strikes Again?

It was only a month ago that Hwang SSa Bu was criticizing Park Bom for eating corn. But he's back again with pictures of his trainee, Taeyang. Under the cut are pictures from this notorious YG Trainer...

Lol, but these pictures make me wonder... isn't it weird how he's taking pictures of Taeyang while Taeyang is unawarely working out? :O Fangirls, I know what you would do. But I'm curious how he got the last picture... Is it anywhere else on the web??? Where did he get this picture?!?!

Incheon Korean Music Wave 2010

SNSD's Taeyeon is Looking Good!

Taeyeon was spotted by a photographer getting into a white van (in picture) with her cell phone in one hand. I thought we might update on SNSD since we haven't seen them much recently... Hmm... Where is the SNSD leader headed? I don't know. But she looks good for whatever/whenever/wherever occasion. We thought that she looked so good that we made her paparazzi pictures our new banner! Stalkerish? Yes, but worth it.
