[NEWS] 2PM members claim they don’t have a lot of clubbing experience

On June 27th, 2PM guested on KBS 2TV’s ‘Talk Show Hello‘ and sincerely shared their thoughts on the topic of ‘2os! Break the Youth‘.

The boys revealed, “We don’t have time to go to the club because of our busy schedules.”

With the background of the studio set as a club, 2PM members were asked about their clubbing experience. MC Shin Dong Yup asked Junho, “Do you sometimes go to the club with your friends?” Junho answered, “We only go once in a while with J.Y. Park hyung.”

Taecyeon was then asked, “Since you are in your 20s, don’t you hang out with friends a lot?”, to which he replied, “Because we have such a heavy schedule, we don’t have any time. When we don’t have a schedule, we have to sleep.”

During the recording, 2PM performed their new song, “Hands Up“, along with a dance parade of all their past hits, including “10 Out of 10“, “Again & Again“, “Heartbeat“, “Without U“, and “I’ll be Back“, all of which received a great reaction from the studio.

[News] Yong Hwa and Shin Hye give us tips – What should be focused on in watching You’ve Fallen For me?

You’ve Fallen For Me features the romantic story of young people with passionate dreams at an art college. The first episode is just about to air on June 29.

The actors who play the lead characters gave viewers a tip to better enjoy the new drama series.

Jung Yong Hwa plays Lee Shin, a cool-headed guy who is into music and the guitar in particular. He says, “The series feature the love stories of each generation: a fresh love for those in their twenties, and a nostalgic, sentimental love for older generations. I hope all of them find their own story in the series.”

Park Shin Hye plays a lively, vibrant girl who majors in gayageum, a Korean zither with twelve strings. She says, “This is a story of dreamful characters filled with young spirits. They try to come closer to their dream step by step. For young students, it will help envisage themselves in a collage campus; for someone middle-aged, it will help them recall their early days. I’d love to see the series making all the viewers’ hearts pleasantly flutter.”

Song Chang Eui plays a passionate, talented theater director. He says, “Set in an art college, the series will feature the characters of distinct individualities. You’ve Fallen For Me is going to deliver its heartwarming message through positive, passionate young souls rather than, as is usual with other drama series, those who are driven by a fierce competitive atmosphere.”

So Ihyeon plays a beautiful professor with inner strength, who is in the Department of Dance. She says, “I’m confident to say that this will instill fresh life into the houses of viewers through the bright, refreshing love stories of dreamful young people.”

The main storyline will be unfolded based on the preparation of a commemorative musical to celebrate the centennial of the college, which is expected to include a variety of artistic performances covering diverse music genres from Korean traditional music to popular song, musical, play, dance, and even literature. The diversity will surely please viewers’ eyes and ears.

On the 27th, Kim Hyun Joong had an one-day barisa transformation event at a cafe in Hannam-dong, in which he met with his fans. This is for an event organized by casual clothing brand Hangten ‘Save The Earth’ Natural Environment campaign, where their model Kim Hyun Joong personally made drinks for the fans.

dressed neatly in a white shirt and innerwear, Kim Hyun Joong’s busy and exhausting schedule and the toll it’s taking on his body was clearly revealed on his face. Especially how the dark circles under his eyes can be seen visably despite his smooth skin.

Kim Hyun Joong, whom despite receiving recognition for looks that are prettier than a girl’s, it is regrettable to find a trace of flaw such as his dark eye circles on his face.

Meanwhile, Kim Hyun Joong’s solo album ‘Breakdown’ sales has crossed 110,000 copies, making it a record as the only solo artist this year to have done so.

[News] Fans Celebrate Seohyun's Birthday with Newspaper Advertisement

A birthday advertisement from fans for girl group Girls' Generation's youngest member, Seohyun, has been garnering attention. On June 28th, Girls' Generation's representative fan cafe "Cistus" posted an advertisement for Seohyun's 20th (21st) birthday in Sports Seoul. The "oppa" and "samchon" fans from the fan cafe came together to express their heartfelt emotions to Seohyun on her special day.


Translation of the advertisement:
We wonder how you're doing.
It's been a while since we've seen each other.
If you're healthy
If you're always smiling
As these wonderous and sad times go by
Your birthday has come once again.

When we're serious
Looking to learn something
Or being modest, we miss you.

Knowing we will get to see you soon
It's true that we are even more anxious.

Our hearts flutter thinking of our days to come.
Be prepared for the day we pour out the cheers and love
we could not give to you, even if we wanted to.
We have become thankful for being able to give that much.

June 28th is..

The 21st birthday of Girls' Generation's maknae 'Seohyun'
Who always makes smiles appear on fans' faces.
We put our hearts, that are loving, missing,
and waiting for Girls' Generation and 'Seohyun', forward..
And sincerely wish you a happy birthday.

"Cistus" fan cafe's manager expressed his unconditional support for the girls by stating, "All Girls' Generation members have become adults now, and even though they will be turning older in the coming years, they will always be girls to us fans."

Seohyun's fan club celebrated her birthday by dubbing the day "Hyun Tan Jeol", which in essence means celebrating the day Seohyun entered the world.

Meanwhile, Girls' Generation is continuing their Japan Arena Tour Concert, and will be performing on the 28th and 29th in Yoyogi, Japan.

[INFO] Teen Top in 10 Asia's Fantastic Boygroups List

During H.O.T and Sechkies' activities, 'oppa' was another name for 'idol'. In those days, it was rare for highschoolers to be singers but now with DBSK and Big Bang, 2PM and SHINee, the idols' age slowly lowered and we can now easily see middle school students 'oppas' on TV. They got a lot younger and a steadily growing number of various idol group appeared, it's now as hard to recognize them as memorizing mathematic laws or chemical elements symbols. But if you got curious seeing those cute young people's eye-smile on variety programs, or if you want to learn more about that person with a sweet voice you heard on radio while coming back from work, <10 Asia> prepared a 'Fantastic Boygroup List', let's get closer to those 8 rookie boygroups. For oppas and uncles, we also prepared the 'Informations for a hitchhiker travelling in the girl groups' milky way'.

TEEN TOP

Changjo:
Born in 1995, his real name is Choi Jonghyun, has a 4th dan in Taekwondo and Jeolkwondo, he's scared of going on high places so during the marine corps training he gave up while crying.
Ricky:
Born in 1995, his real name is Yoo Changhyun, he was a child actor playing in Seo Taeji's 'Human Dream' MV, he's born before Changjo but his personnality (?) is more maknae-ish.
Niel:
Born in 1994, his real name is Ahn Daniel, he's the main vocal, his nickname is Mangdoongie [T/N: It means goby] (because he has thick lips and big eyes). In the movie '11th mom' he played the role of the 'bad class president'.
C.A.P:
Born in 1992, his real name is Bang Minsoo, he's the rapper and leader, his low voice is charming but in fact he's the oldest hyung that often get chased after by his dongsaengs.
L.Joe:
Born in 1993, his real name is Lee Byunghun, he has a sharp jawline, his charm is the point under his left eye, he looks all chic but he has a shy personnality and is a crazy fan of Big Bang's G-Dragon.
Chunji:
Born in 1993, his real name is Lee Chanhee, he's the member doing a wink on 'Supa Luv' stages, he's a flower boy but has a tough personnality and has a Gibongie impersonnation that never sounds like the original one no matter how many times you listen to it. [T/N: Gibongie from the movie Barefoot Gibong]

'Hand-cuff idols' dancing a 'Knife dance'
[T/N: Hand-cuffs idols because noonas will get to wear hand-cuffs because of how young they are and knife dance because their dance is always so in sync and all]

Debut: 2010 July 9th. EP album . Title song was 'Clap'
Group's name meaning: It's a contraction of 'Teenz on Top', it means teens standing on top or teens that will stand on top.

When they did their debut with 'Clap' they showed a childish mage and got known with the knife dance, and the noonas who began to like the very young idols with 'Supa Luv' too were feeling guilty so the aunt fans fave them the nickname 'hand-cuffs-dols' and they gained a lot of popularity. The members are very young and seeing that the recognition they could get from variety shows was limited, they uploaded their dance practice videos with their names stuck on their chest or lifted their hand when it was their parts, they used various methods to catch the attention. But 'because they're young' their innocence is also a main point of their charms, like how Niel cares more about the quantity than the quality when eating or Ricky who's waiting for his birthday party. Shinhwa's Eric, who's in the same company as Shinhwa's Andy, participated in 'Supa Luv' MV.

Particularities: On GomTV's they made a parody of SBS's that was cute but that made us cringe a bit.

[News] Is Girls' Generation the New 'Frequent Flyer' Queen?

What exactly is the flight mileage accumulated by Girls' Generation?

Mnet's "WIDE Entertainment News" recently analyzed Girls' Generation's hectic schedules and looked further into their flight mileage and travel times.

The girls are often seen at the airport as they move between countries in Asia and even beyond the continent. The members had to travel to France for international activities, joining the SMTown family to perform for the "SMTown Live in Paris" concerts. Prior to their activities in 2011, the girls were already accustomed to the frequent flying as they made appearances in Japan, Taiwan and other countries for concerts and special events. They skillfully navigated around the world amidst their tight schedules and without complaints.

It was also revealed that the members of Girls' Generation have traveled out of the country in the period between June 8th to 18th alone. Using the distance of 456km from Seoul to Busan as a gauge, this equates to the girls traveling back and forth for up to 25 times, making their total distance traveled an approximate 25,086km.

Their busy schedules have been quoted as remarkable considering the number of times the girls have traveled so far. At the rate they are going, it would be of no surprise if they catch up to Rain's record of a staggering 670,000km throughout his 8-year career.

[MISC] Super Junior Dollar Bills???

So, I found a link from my timeline titled "Dollar Bills- SJ" and opened it. I was shocked seeing the dollar bills, i thought these money will be given to Super Junior (as a present?) then i carefully looked at the dollar bills and laughed at myself realizing those are fake!

Which is funnier is that they replaced the original with SJ members' faces.
Check these...

















Yes these dollar bills are purely edited. I think it will be given to SJ members as a present. I'm just sharing these to you because the idea is unique for a present. Don't you think so?


Credit goes to this blog.
Open the link to know how they do it :)
Sorry for SJ, they can't spend it though.. but these are worth keeping :)
