YG·SM·JYP- The race to have own representative idol group to survive the competition

We are now in a generation when once you have one hit-song-producing idol group in your company, you will survive well in the competition in the Kpop market of this era.

Kpop big players YG Entertainment, SM Entertainment, DSP Entertainment and JYP Entertainment have been up busy with their plans to stay in the competition, and they all each had their representative female/male idol group.

The first company to push a big-scale project in year 2009 is YG. They preparing to debut a female group with the help of the name of their existing group Big Bang, which debuted in 2006. Known as ‘female Big Bang‘ until recently, the group official name is set to be ‘21, To Anyone’.

21, who is set to debut in May, has come together to sing a CM song with group Big Bang. And this has produced great synergy for the debuting group. The song the 2 groups sang together ‘Lollipop’ has risen up various online music chart steadily, standing in same level as other singers like Son DamBi, Seo Taiji, Super Junior etc. Not only so, being the new YG female group in so many years, there is more anticipation for this upcoming group.


As for JYP, who created the ‘So Hot’ craze last year with its girl group WonderGirls, have no other plans to make another representative male group. Because already, they are covering both groups of fans loving ballads and dance songs with their male groups 2AM and 2PM.

Recently into their individual activities like drama and musical, group SS501’s company DSP Entertainment is also putting its hopes on its girl group KARA who debuted in 2007 and was given the nickname of ‘the 2nd Fin.K.L‘.

And KARA was said to have live up to the name of South Korea’s representative girl group with the title song ‘Honey’ shooting up to the #1 spot on various music programs and charts from their 2nd minialbum released last December. With this, they join the league of girl groups like So Nyeo Shi Dae and WonderGirls.

SM’s own representative group Dong Bang Shin Ki, already with their numerous fanbases established overseas, also said, “Whenever we turn on the TV, we see So Nyeo Shi Dae.”

One of the Kpop producers provided, “We have stepped into an era where you just need one successful singer to be safe in competition in the Kpop market. With a successful male or female group in the company, the new incoming singers get the benefit of attracting more attention to themselves and having more advertisement. And right now, this is the time when idol groups are viewed as important to hit into the market of the music fans in their teens and twenties. And that is why many companies are working hard to push their male or female idol groups.”

With this, there are news that group Jewelry’s company is also in the midst of preparation for the debut of a new male group.

Wonder Girls Pull Off First Concert With Success

When the melodies of the group's hit number "So Hot" played through the speakers, the crowd once again cheered on.

"What's up, Seoul!" Yu-bin, 20, yelled to fans after the song, smiling and waving with the other members.

After an acoustic version of "Nobody", a song that swept the nation and local pop charts last year, the girls continued offering their personal style and talents.

Ye-eun, 19, sang "Killing me Softly with His Song", showing off her vocals and stage presence, while Sun-ye, 19, sang her solo "Ilwoljiga" dressed in an elegant purple gown, her hair and outfit blowing in the wind, resembling a scene from the movie "Bodyguard" in which Whitney Houston sings "Run to You".

Youngest members Ahn So-hee and Sun-me, both 17, showed their sexier sides by singing and dancing to the songs "Single Lady" by Beyonce and "Invitation" by Korean singer Uhm Jung-hwa, respectively.

Yu-bin surprised fans by walking down to the stage from the third floor of the audience, dressed in white shorts and a silvery top, singing "Sexy Back".

After more songs including "You're Out" and "Irony", the girls went backstage to change while the audience welcomed fellow JYP Entertainment group 2AM. The music blared after the four-member group began singing, but the audience cheered them for being such good sports.

The Wonder Girls finally came back onstage, all in white dresses, and sang "Saying I Love You" and "Take Away".

The girls finished up the concert with yet another version of "Nobody" and their popular number "Tell Me", this time asking fans to stand up and follow the famous dance moves.

After offering encores and also blowing the candles from a cake brought up to the stage by 2AM, the members thanked the crowd, some bursting into tears, and bade farewell.

"We hope to meet you all again at a much bigger stage next time. You will all wait for us until then, right?" Sun-mi asked.

Unlike boy bands that boast a large, loyal female fan base, girl groups find it difficult to hold concerts by themselves. But the Wonder Girls showed that they were a well-rounded pop group with fans ranging from young students to housewives, businessmen and even senior citizens. The members were a bit shaky with their vocals here and there, and the overall program was a bit mediocre as they spent most of their time singing and dancing instead of connecting with their fans like many other singers do during concerts. But the concert was still a great way to thank their fans, finish their activities here and gear up for more in the United States.

Jihoo is Jandi's soulmate

Goo Hye Sun clarified the relationship between Jihoo and Jandi, “Jihoo is Jandi's soulmate. Jandi likes Jihoo as a person and a irreplaceable friend, but she doesn't love him."

In a recent interview she said, "Love can only exist if the hearts of two people feel the same way, but Jandi does not have that feeling towards Jihoo. That's why, no matter how much Jihoo has feelings for Jandi, the two can never be together.

"Of course, Jandi liked Jihoo at first. But on the way, she has cleared up her feelings for him. The reason why she is so good to Jihoo after, is because she cares for him, not because she loves him.

However, it is true that Jandi's attitude is attracting Jihoo. At this, Goo Hye Sun said, "I know that there are bound to be people who criticize Jandi for putting up an innocent attitude between Jihoo and Junpyo, but that is because Jandi does not know Jihoo's heart. The viewers and I know his feelings, but Jandi does not know that Jihoo likes her.

But she said, "If I were to find out someone liked me, I would never show an innocent attitude. I think I would have to draw a clear line in order to ensure that I don't hurt him."

Actress Aya Ueto is set to release her first single in two years. The song, titled "Smile for...," is originally part of a concept album for the Smile Project 2009, a music collection intended to bring smiles to faces across Japan. However, it has also been selected as the new ending theme for the "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" anime series.

The single is set for a CD release on June 3 and a chaku-uta release on April 1. Because the song will begin airplay on "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" starting April 4, priority was given for the chaku-uta release.

Like Ueto, "Smile for..." is a positive and upbeat song that gives off a feeling of "spring." It was written and composed by singer Kohmi Hirose, who is involved in the Smile Project 2009.

The single will be released in a regular CD edition, a first-press CD+DVD edition, and a "Reborn! edition" that features a collaborative CD jacket with art from the anime.

Female Big Bang changes name

Maybe someone at YG read the comments on this post?

Nah.

But the fact is that YG Entertainment CEO, Yang Hyun-suk abruptly announced today that the “Small Bang” will now be called “2NE1” instead of “21” (To Anyone). The “NE” refers to “new evolution.” Another original addition.

Why the change?

Most likely because “21″ would be confusing. And as an alert POPSEOULer commented, the girls are not going to be 21 forever.

So is “2NE1″ better than temporary name, “21″? We think the 4 member group should just be called, “Small Bang.”

What do you think?

Lee Seung Gi Romances Han Hyo Joo

New SBS weekend drama Shining Inheritance starring Lee Seung Gi, Han Hyo Joo, Bae Soo Bin, Moon Chae Won, etc has officially begun production with a photoshoot which took place at a Kangnam studio on the 16th with the four main leads involved.

Shining Inheritance talks about Eun Sung (Han Hyo Joo) who was a kind-hearted girl that has everything, a loving father, a rich and happy family. But her step-mom, Baek Sung Hee (Kim Mi Sook) took away all her properities upon the death of her father and forced her to fend for herself while raising her real daughter Seung Mi (Moon Chae Won) with great care.

Luckily for Eun Sung who has a talent in cooking was accepted to a food company, Honey combs, owned by the Sun Woo family (not knowing that their family's grandparents are friends). But it starts getting complicated for her when she starts working for them with both Sun Woo Hwan (Lee Seung Gi), the successor to the food company and Park Jun Se (Bae Soo Bin), a fusion restaurant owner with an upcoming arranged marriage to Woo Hwan's younger sister Woo Jung (Han Ye Won) getting attracted to her.

A production staff expressed, "As they (the 4 main leads) were meeting for the first time, it was kind of awkward between them. But as soon as the shoot begun, they managed to overcome that with their professional acting skills. Han Hyo Joo especially was able to make the entire photoshoot a very enjoyable one with her bubbly, outgoing nature."

For Bae Soo Bin and Moon Chae Won, this drama marks their second time working together in recent months, having just collaborated for SBS Painter of the Wind last year. Besides happily greeting each other, they also praised each other's fashion sense.

Shining Inheritance will take over Family's Honor and premiere on 25th April.

And once again, Lee Seung Gi's filming schedule for KBS2TV 1N2D will not be affected.

Kangin and Yoonji Share a Kiss

On "MBC's We Got Married", Kangin and Yoonji shared a surprise kiss on screen. The fake newlyweds succeeded in their kiss due to the Super Junior members suggestion about playing the 'peppero game'. It's basically a game where there's a peppero stick in between both contestants mouth and the objective is to eat the peppero and for the lips to touch. The members teamed up and played the game themselves before Kangin and Yoonji.

Sung Min, Ryeowook, Eunhyuk, and Shiwon all complained about the pairings but still proceeded with the game. After seeing just the crumbs leftover from the peppero stick, Yoonji was in shock. It seems Heechul's habit has rubbed off on the boys, especially Shiwon and Eunhyuk, who left virtually nothing.

When it was finally Kangin and Yoonji's turn, the members all whipped out their cellphones, ready to take pictures. Kangin yelled, "Don't take pictures!", as Yoonji tried to hide the peppero with her hands but later gave in to the boys' pestering. With Sungmin playing the guitar for this romantic moment, Kangin and Yoonji's lips touched, and they succeeded at the game. At first the two claimed that their lips did not touch, but later on in the interview, Kangin revealed "In truth, our lips touched a little. Even though we're a fake couple, it made me feel a little strange."

Out of all the couples on "We Got Married", this couple is my favorite. They were the ones who made me want to start watching that dying show, not just once, but twice now. Really, they are just too cute

FT Island’s Hongki Tries Face Yoga

FT Island's Hongki made an appearance on "SBS Star King," which has been making girls swoon. Immediately after the episode aired on the 28th, a ton of animated GIF's were created. It's funny how one person could look so cute doing something, but another could look so hideous doing the same thing. But what's even funnier is that there's such a thing as face yoga... will this even work at reducing wrinkles? Cause I just gained about 10 from laughing and cringing at this video. Anyway, make sure to watch the video, it's hilarious!

Thanks to autumn for the tip!

2AM Gets Much Applause for Being Able to Sing Live

At the Wonder Girls 1st Concert on the 28th, 2AM sang their newest song, "A Friend's Confession," but due to technical difficulties, they were forced to sing the song without any music. That wasn't a problem for the boys though, as they sang their song just beautifully. They received much applause, as well as recognition, for their outstanding and unexpected acapella performance. 2AM also performed "This Song," from their last album and g.o.d's "One Candle."

When asked what they thought of the incident, 2AM laughed it off and said, "Since it wasn't our own concert, we didn't feel burdened/intimidated, so we were surprised when the music all of a sudden didn't work."

The music came back on during the middle of the performance, but with or without the music, their voices were amazing. Congratulations 2AM, for being one of the groups out there that can actually sing.

A video of the acapella performance again, directly uploaded from 2am's official youtube site:

Super Junior’s Lee Teuk Smells Defeat.. Literally

These netizens will catch anything and everything.

While Davichi was giving their thank you speech after winning their 2nd Mutizen award on SBS Inkigayo a week ago, Super Junior’s leader, Lee Teuk was standing directly behind Davichi’s Kang Min Kyung. During her winning speech, you can see Lee Teuk sweeping his head from left to right, stopping directly at Min Kyung's shoulder. He takes a sniff and then brandishes a disgusted look on his face. One sharp-eyed netizen noticed this hilarious moment and has recently made the internet community aware of Lee Teuk's unmistakable run in with a mysterious stench.

Netizens have been speculating on what Lee Teuk could’ve smelled for him to give such a repulsed expression. Some say it’s obvious that Min Kyung let one rip. Others believe it may have been Jo Kwon who queefed farted, for he was standing right next to Lee Teuk. A number of netizens said that Min Kyung would never relieve herself on stage like that, so maybe she was wearing perfume that Lee Teuk didn’t find appealing. Another bunch of people said that Lee Teuk was probably just joking around but, as for me, I think he just caught a whiff of the pungent stench of defeat, which happens to smell exactly like Min Kyung’s stinky farts.

Kim Joon overdoses on make-up and I’m scared

Kim Joon was the next celeb to model for Seoul Fashion Week after Kim Hyung Joon of SS501, and he stood on the runway wearing clothes by designer Park Hye Rin. Nothing much to say about the clothes - but what’s up with his makeup? Overdone makeup is never good, especially on someone as gangsta and fierce looking as Kim Joon. Prince Song, that ain’t cool yo.

Netizens, “Oh no. ‘Female Big Bang’ to be called ‘21′, but isn’t there already a singer named 21?”

2 days back, it has been decided that ‘female Big Bang‘, a upcoming YG female group, to be called ‘21′.

But netizens are now becoming concerned as there is already a singer with the name ‘21′, who debuted in the year 2005.

There is a 23-year-old singer by the name of ‘21(To Anyone)’ who debuted with a ballad album on 22nd May with the single album ‘My Soul’s Weight’. The name came from the theory by the American medical studies that a human’s spirit weighed about 21 grams.

Netizens, “There is a singer with the same name. YG don’t know about it?”

YG’s new group ‘21‘ was named that way to represent the fresh music that group will produce, just like the age of 21. Also it has representation of the number 21 in the game of Black Jack.

With members consisting of Sandara Park, Park Bom, CL and Gong Min Ji, the group will debut beginning of May.

Goo Hye Sun Defends Against Branded Shoes Accusation

n regards to the viewers’ criticisms on her poor girl role in “Boys Before Flowers” covering with branded goods, Goo Hye Sun has made an explanation during a recent interview and stated that “the truth isn’t as such”.

Goo Hye Sun explained : “There were recently some viewers who accused me of using branded products, which does not match with the poor living conditions of Geum Jan Di in the drama. However, the truth isn’t as such. The leather shoes that appeared in the Macau scene was bought from Dong Dae Mun. And it only costs 10 thousand Won per pair. Owing to the story’s needs, we bought two pairs.”

Shortly after the broadcast of the scene where Jan Di broke her shoes, some netizens commented on websites that Jan Di’s shoe was actually a Christian Louboutin, a French brand that costs over a million won in Korea. They proceed to criticize Goo Hye Sun and the team on their lack of consideration for these details.

Goo Hye Sun said: “Although Geum Jan Di is an ordinary girl, but she isn’t a girl from a poor family. The original manga of ‘Boys Before Flowers’ was a product of the 90s, it is adapted into a K-drama only now. Hence, discrepancies between the different eras will definitely be present. Moreover, I would discuss with the coordinators of the team everytime I received props (apparels, shoes etc) from the sponsors, to determine if they fit into the character’s personality and status.”
