What if Lee Eon's Death Wasn't an accident??

Leeeon_20080905
New developments were uncovered in the death of actor, Lee Eon. The so-called accident may not have been an accident. The Coffee Prince actor’s management claim that the likelihood of a deliberate hit and run is high. Based on the CCTV footage (CCTV cameras are installed on almost every intersection in Seoul), Lee Eon’s motorbike was rolling along without the rider, about 100 meters from the accident site and soon after a black car, flashing their hazard lights, and a taxi passed by. Lee Eon’s management added that someone must have hit the bike from behind since it some distance ahead.
Although Lee Eon was driven home that tragic night by his management, the actor was in a sudden rush to go somewhere later on since he borrowed the Ducati from a friend.

The Yongsan police are still investigating the cause of the accident.

*I will be even more heartbroken if it wasn't an accident. TT*

FT Island is back!

FT Island have come back!! Oh my God, who saw ANOTHER come back in the works? Comebacks are sort of starting to lose their super effect on me, I just want good entertaining music, like now. FT Island have been drifting around Asia for a while now and I think they finally got the directions back to their homeland. Gah, Men and their pride, never want to ask for directions when they’re lost… :P In this case, still boys though. I like FT Island actually, they’re cute and they don’t suck up to noona that much. They play hard to get. ;) Joking of course, this noona still prefers her men, but I like the pop “rock” of this cute little group that twang and beat on their instruments.

G-Dragon and his flares.

Excuse the typo, I meant artistic flair. Although I would pay money to see him in 70s inspired flares, it would be…interesting. G-Dragon of Big Bang is known to be a little artiste that likes to experiment with his music and style-sense. And he has been in the limelight for it recently, would I call him a “fashion Icon”? Hell no, but he is brave and bold and that’s respectable. I also do like some of his getups to be honest, sometimes K-Pop can get a little boring and dull fashion-wise so it’s nice to see some color. Ah, like lemonade on a hot summers day…. Strange lemonade sometimes, but refreshing nonetheless.

*he looks hott! ^_^*

Wonder Girls go global


Global in the sense that Virgin Media have recognised them. Aaaaw, Wonder Girls, South Koreas little sisters, have made them proud by getting a shout out from Virgin Media as “the ones to watch”. Personally the following line stood out the most, “Candyfloss pop aimed squarely at the female teen market”. Um…. sure. If you can call it that. Nevertheless, thanks Virgin Media for that ignorant remark, at least they got some promotion. I shrug out of confusion as to how “So Hot” is candyfloss pop.

Big Bang Wins Again for 'Haru Haru'

his week SBS Inkigayo is full of superstars and special stages which bring so many colors into the world of Kpop music scene. But, I still think this 500th episode of Inkigayo is so Big Bang bias. Not that I'm complaining by the way. It's their time to shine since they are in the midst of promoting the 3rd mini album Stand Up.

Besides winning their 3rd mutizen for Haru Haru, the audience was entertained with Seungri's collaboration with other idol groups for the Wonder Boys performance in what I see as a parody of SNSD's Girls' Generation and Wonder Girls's So Hot.

Before the starts of the 'Big Bang Special' performances, an advertisement by Big Bang who Say No No to smoking was shown and hopefully they didn't smoke in real life as they would be the perfect role model for the no smoking campaign.

On top of that, they performed Haru Haru in a green theme outfits this time and together with Um Jung Hwa, they performed Tell Me by Jinusean. They did Tell Me performance back in their first concert in 2006 with Jinusean before. If I have to compare, I prefer their performance with Jinusean although Um Jung Hwa is the female voice in that song. The collaboration with Um Jung Hwa was refreshing though, with the Big Bang members just having fun on stage. We can see that Um Jung Hwa was having a lot of fun too.

GD was also featured in Um Jung Hwa's DISCO performance singing the 2nd version of the song which was only released online.

Haru Haru

*Seriously, i listen to Haru haru so much, it deserves to win, it's been my profile song ever since the cd came out! ^_^*

Wonder Boys debuting on SBS inkigayo
 











Wonder Boys comprising of 2AM's Jo Kwon, Big Bang's Seungri, Shinee's Taemin and two Super Junior members, Shindong and Sungmin finally show off their feminine side during today special stage performance in SBS Inkigayo 500th Special episode. You definitely don't want to miss this performance where the boys wear pinks and dance like genuine girls.

Their voices when they perform Wonder Girls's So Hot does remind me of that gayish male version of So Hot I used to download. Creepy...

Figure out by yourself who's who... :)

Super Junior M releasing new MV



China's most in demand boy band finally has a new project.

After the the expanded promotions for U, Super Junior M finally announced they will be releasing a new promotional MV, 迷 (Me).

According to the members, they filmed 3 Music Videos in one day including U and Me, therefore many Behind the Scenes caps of Me has been leaked onto Baidu but it was not until now that SM finally announced the upcoming release of Me.

However, no date has been set for the release.

Super Junior M was originally scheduled to perform Me Live for the first time on September 16th during the Asia Night Concert but their appearances has been canceled for the night. This sudden change of plans currently makes fans assume they will be performing Me for the first time during the 18th Qing Dao Beer Festival Ceremony instead, which will be on the 19th of this month.

*i cant wait, i love that song! ^_^*

August 31st

Actor Lee Eon Passes Away TT

Up and coming actor Lee Eon passed away in a motorcycle accident early this morning on August 21. He was coming back from a wrap-up party for his recent drama Strongest Chilwoo when he crashed into a guard rail. He was not breathing when the police found him at the scene and was rushed to the hospital. However, the doctors were not able to resuscitate him. According to police reports, the accident occurred when Lee Eon was attempting to change lanes as the road changed from 2 lanes to 1.


Lee Eon debuted as a model in 2006 and also featured in Rain’s “It’s Raining” music video. However, Eon shot to fame in 2007 when he played the macho, idiosycratic, lovable character Min Yub in the MBC drama “Coffee Prince.” He then took a role in the drama “Who Are You?” and had just finished filming “Strongest Chilwoo” two days ago.
Lee Eon had moved from Busan to Seoul to start his modeling career. He lived alone and was not able to see his parents often. He is the only child and the news of his death has caused a great shock to his parents in Busan, who immediately left for Seoul when they heard the news.

When the “Strongest Chilwoo” team, including Goo Hye Sun and Eric, heard of this tragedy, they also rushed to the hospital. Lee Eon had been celebrating the end of the drama with his co-stars just a few hours ago. Coffee Prince co-star Yoon Eun Hye also came to the hospital.

Rest in peace, Lee Eon. May his friends and family be comforted. He was truly one of Korea’s most promising actors. I absolutely loved him in Coffee Prince - he was so adorable! He possessed a unique charm and charisma on screen that I will miss dearly.

2008 has been a hard year with the death of many celebrities, including Monday Kiz’s Kim Min Soo (23) and and Lee Sung Hoon (Turtle Man) from the group Turtle. Kim Min Soo also died in a motorcycle accident. Singer LeeRa, an aspiring young rookie, also died in her sleep and was only 24.

Netizens are in utter shock and disbelief. Some are noting the eerie similarity of Lee Eon’s death to that of Monday Kiz Kim Min Soo. Fans of Lee Eon also pointed out that he left a message on his minihompy on July 15 saying “It’s too early to die.” After reading this coincidental note, many fans left messages on his minihompy saying “The message above is pitiful” “Oh no, I hope he goes to a better place. I can’t believe it.” More than 40,000 fans have visited his minihompy, leaving their condolences.

Lee Eon’s funeral was held at 5am (Korea Time) this morning, surrounded by friends and family. Gong Yoo, who is currently in military training, was able to leave temporarily to attend his friend’s funeral and can be seen leading the casket. Rest in peace, Lee Eon.

*I seriously teared up and cried when i heard this. It's so sad. So many good celebs are dying. And it sux because just last year Kim Minsoo of Monday Kiz died in a motorcycly accident. It's so devestating, and lee eon just got done with his new drama. I'm deeply sad and I give my deepest condolences to his family and friends. I'm so glad that Gong Yoo oppa could be there for him. TT*

JYP’s “pride” 2PM, “10 out of 10?”



JYP has his pride on the line for “2PM”, his newest boyband since the days of legendary G.O.D.
2PM finally released their much anticipated single album “Hottest Time of the Day” on August 29. JYP revealed that “this group is my pride and reputation” because 2PM is his newest boyband in 10 years since the creation of G.O.D. The title of their album “Hottest Time of the Day” implies that 2PM will reflect the bussle and activity of mid-day by working hard as a dance group.
2PM’s title song is “10 points out of 10″, which is a fusion of rock(ish) guitar ripples, electronica, with a hip-pop beat that shows JYP’s daring style. And I definitely give them a perfect score - “10 out of 10″ - because this song will be the next sensation. Their single album contains 6 tracks, including “Only You” and “Angel”.


The music video was created by the same producer, Jang Jae Hyuk, who made the MVs for Wonder Girls and Rain. It was set in the W hotel in Seoul, giving off a chic, trendy vibe. The MV is about the 7 guys in 2PM being awe-strucked by a gorgeous lady that walks into the hotel. They give her a “10 out of 10″ for her beauty, simultaneously playing out their erotic fantasies. I feel like I lost my innocence while watching the MV and the lyrics are filled with sexual innuendos. JYP has made 7 dandy clones of himself, liberally indulging in voyeurism and self-titillation. And Wonder Girls’ Yoobin makes a surprise entrance at the end (oops!…I was supposed to keep that as a surprise), looking smoking HOT! 2PM gives Yoobin a “10 out of 10″ and I can’t agree more…haha. By the way, the girl featured in the MV is Gina Choi, friend of Yoobin (both met at Good Entertainment before they moved to JYPE together).

2PM will soon join with 2AM to form a mega boyband, known as “One Day”.
Check out 2PM’s MV “10 out of 10″ and see what score they should get:

Credit: iHeartWG @ Youtube

Track listing:
1. 10 points out of 10
2. Only You
3. Angel
4. 10 points out of 10 (Old school ver.)
5. 10 points out of 10 (Inst.)
6. Only You (Inst.)

1. 10 points out of 10
composed by JYP
A “high energy hybrid” song that combines rock guitar ripples, electronica and a hip-pop beat.

2. Only You
composed by JYP
This is an endearing song about a man remembering his lost love. It showcases an orchestra with an underlying hip-pop rhythm.

3. Angel
composed by Kwon Tae Woon (for The Playdog)
Angel is The Playdog Production piece by Kwon Tae Woon that is another hybrid of electronica synth and strong hip-pop beats. This dance song shows off 2PM’s vocals and its cute lyrics highlight the special girl that a guy loves.

Se7en Update!!

Photobucket
It’s been a little over a month since I last updated on this guy and just when we thought he was busy a with a girl (or just even busy chasing after girls)…more news of him appears! So here is a little info for the die-hards and a little update for those wanting to know how his life has been in America. He has also signed a deal with one of the three recording companies/labels that attended his LA preview party way back in May but YG or RQM hasn’t released any info on which company or label it is.
The Myspace page has been updated and was officially “opened” yesterday and it includes some pictures of Se7en and the infamous Bentleys that are featured in a lot of YG MVs. YG’s got something going for those Bentleys. There is also a link to Se7en’s Official Online Store, which sells the limited editions of t-shirts but they are only sold in the US (boo!). A Youtube channel has been launched, but it’s not as great as his Myspace, as it’s just full of old MVs and CFs but it brings back a lot of memories! But I guess it’s better than nothing for now and we shouldn’t be complaining because the PR team has made a lot of updates in the past few weeks. Also, for you crazy and addicted Facebookers, there is an Official Se7en Facebook Group and Se7en’s very own Facebook profile, though I’m sure the profile page and group is not ran by him…

SE7EN Myspace Greeting Video

Great video. As for the English, you decide.
For me, it’s great and I love the “I love you guys” part!

Photobucket
Apparently, Se7en will be a special surprise guest at the 2008 International Secret Agents Concert on September 7th. Other attendees include Far East Movement, whom Se7en collaborated with for his debut album, and Wong Fu Productions.
And the question we’ve all been waiting for…”when is he debuting?” No clue. But I know it’s soon. I read somewhere (don’t remember where >.<) that it’s supposed to be early next year. Like what Se7en said in the video above, patience is the way to go! At least he’s made it further than Rain has.
Last but not least, photoshoot sneak preview!

Rain Closes the 2008 Olympics


For the past year, Rain has been dodging questions from the media asking whether he will perform at the Olympics. He confirmed this speculation, then later dismissed it by saying it was all a rumor. Nice try. It wasn’t much of a surprise.

Rain attended the 2008 Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony and performed “Beijing, Beijing, I love Beijing” - the first act of the night. Representing Korea and the Hallyu Wave, he sang along side other famous Asian artists from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand. I’m so glad he chopped off those feminine locks…but he’s almost unrecognizable with short hair. It look like he’s having the time of his life being flanked by two gorgeous stars while belting out “I Love Beijing.”


Watch the performance HERE:

China ends the Olympic gala with style and awe-inspiring fireworks.


On another note, London reminds the international audience that the land of the white wigs is COOL and to anticipate another great Olympics in 2012. David Beckham kicked a football (soccer ball for Americans)- a quite subtle foreshadowing that London will be ready to kick some butt.

*For those of you who didn't see it, you missed out. it was awesome and he actually looked hott. I love his hair like that. Oh and I have more news on him!!! About his new AMERICAN MOVIE!! NINJA ASSASIAN ^_^*

.......................................................

Rain's Stars in a New American Movie!

Below you can checkout some making of footage from Ninja Assasin that was shot in Berlin and has made its way onto the inter-web. The premise of the story goes like this; Raizo (Rain) is one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them...and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge. In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East.

Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi (Rick Yune), to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive...and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan.

 




*The movie looks good. i've been excited about this since speed racer came out. Finally they have some details on it. I guess all of that chicken and no rice diet kind of worked on his body huh? lol. Anyhow Rain looks pretty good and although his english is a little better, he's still far away from Se7en. Also, just to let everyone know...Se7en will be coming into the American movie industry soon also! At least that's what his manager here said. Can't Wait ^_^*

The video says it all- these two are are couple.

Watch the video here.

I NEED HELP!!

I was going to make a community for just about anything, meaning entertainment news, music downloads, video downloads, etc. But I don't have the time. 
School starts monday and its my Senior year and I've been running around like craziii. I haven't been able to update for the past few days  because I had to take my brother up to my highschool on wed. at freakin 8AM~ to get his schedule (he's a fresshhyy!) and since I had to be the one to take him (because my mom was busy) I had to fill out his medical paperwork, buy his lunch for the year, buy his locker, show him where all of his classes are, sign him up for football, and that was just for him in one day!!! 
Then the next day I had to drive back up there by 8:15 not knowing that my brother wanted to come with me, I had to wake him up and wait for him to get ready for like an hour!! I don't even know why he wanted to come...it doesnt make sense since there were only going to be seniors, juniors, sophmores, and returning freshys there. It was soo packed in that school!! I got to my homeroom, got my schedule, fill out some paperwork, registered for classes because they put me in Economics when I already passed that! I had to try and get into the workstudy program (where you leave school a period or two early -- if u have free space, only for seniors -- to go to a job they give u and u get paid and a grade for it! (Pretty cool huh?). 
Anyhow I also had to register for Business Procedures, which is aidng, which means your basically a teachers assistant, you grade papers, teach the class, check mail, hang in the TEACHERS LOUNGE!! lol. But yeaa, i had to buy a locker for the year and IT WAS TOO FREAKIN LATE SINCE I ENDED UP WITH A STUPID BOTTOM LOCKER!! Then I had to pay for parking for the year, pay for my senior dues, a yearbook, and take senior pictures. it was horrible i tell u....HORRIBLE!!! 
But I had to go shopping today and work and sleep and shop and I'm just too busy.

So let me get to the real point. I plan on making this into a community soon, like i said earlier, so ppl can post whatever. But i'm just to busy to that right now. so i was wondering if anyone out there was interest in helping me post and update for a while until i get time later on in the week to start getting things back up and settled and stuff. I'll give u my id name and password or whatever.

If your interested I'll give u allllll of the details on what to post, how to post it, what website to go to, etc.

Big Bang is BACK!!
Korea August 8, 2008

Big Bang is back with their much anticipated 3rd mini-album, “Stand Up”, released on August 8, 2008 (Beijing Olympics start!). This fortuitous day will make this album all the more memorable. Big Bang is already on a good start running towards the gold as they garnered an impressive 100,000 preorders! (This figure not only shows their immense popularity - on par with Seo Taiji’s record-breaking sales- but also the significance of illegal album leakage before designated release dates, which occurred too often this year.)
The MV was delayed from August 1st due to heavy downpour over Seoul. It features actress Park Min Young, who plays G-Dragon’s love interest. She hides the devastating truth of her terminal illness from GD and gets caught up in a love triangle with TOP. While filming the MV, G-Dragon got too absorbed in acting that he injured himself from shattering glass. However, despite his injury he was able to finish filming. His appearance in the parking garage in a campy outfit is questionable, yet his acting skills, along with the other Big Bang members were more than convincing.
The song in the MV is “Everyday, Everyday” (Haru Haru), which was a collaboration of Daishi Dance (Japanese indie-House band) and G-Dragon. It shows off some Daishi Dance’s intricate piano arrangement and Big Bang’s matured vocals and rap.
Big Bang - Haru Haru [Day After Day]



Credit: YGEntertainment2008 (They uploaded this really quickly - they’re finally noticing international fans!)

Jaeurazn on Youtube made an awesome preview clip of Big Bang’s 3rd album Stand Up, collecting 1:30 snippets of all the songs.
Tracklist :

01 . Intro (Stand Up)
02 . 하루 하루 (Everyday Everyday)
03 . 천국 (Heaven)
04 . 착한 사람 (Nice Person)
05 . Lady
06 . Oh My Friend

I’m surprised at the variety of songs that compose this album. “Everyday Everyday” is a house song that fuses well with Big Bang’s heart-felt R&B vocals. “Lady” is an 80’s upbeat song that’s nice to sing along to. But the most surprising track is “Oh My Friend”, which is a rock song that perhaps makes its tributes to YG Entertainment’s rock roots from CEO Yang Hyun Suk, who was part of Seo Tai Ji and Boys. Despite the departure from hip-pop and R&B, Big Bang proves that they can trenscend genre barriers to deliver good, refreshing music.

Big Bang's Gdragon gets injured
Korea August 7, 2008


(pic of new mv 'haru haru' w/ gdragons new hairdue)

Idol group Big Bang leader GDragon got himself injured during the filming of their new MV.

Big Bang was filming the MV for their title song “Haru Haru” off their upcoming album “Stand Up” due to be released on 8th August. There was a scene where GDragon is to throw items on the table, and his arm suffered from abrasion from the shattering glass pieces.

One of the staff at the scene said, “GDragon was too caught up with his acting. He couldn’t react enough and his bare hands got injured from the glass pieces. But he was so caught up with acting that we could not stop him at all.”

It was a difficult filming experience for GDragon given that there was fist-fight scenes, and he got himself injured on top of the warm weather.

He was recommended for his good attitude during the filming that he continue to give his best even though he was injured.

“Haru Haru” MV will be released together with their new album on 8th August. And this MV will have the same feel to that of “Lies”, “Last Greeting” and TaeYang’s “Look only at me” MV.

Big Bang will be having their comeback stage on 10th August on SBS Inkigayo.

*aww poor gdragon. I hope he feels better, can't wait til tomorrow!! i'll surely have the new MV up ^_^*

Seo Taiji releases new Music Video "Moai"!
Korea August 7, 2008




Seo Tai Ji spent $800,000 US dollars to make this MV and its lavish contributions are quite evident. The "nature pound" elements in the song complement the sterile, vast landscape of Easter Islands and its massive stoneheads. The computer graphics are awesome...with a nice twist at the end.

 Barbie Hsu, Louis Koo stars in a remake of a Hollywood movie "Cellular"
Hong Kong August 7, 2008

Warner Bros. has teamed with Hong Kong's Emperor Motion Pictures for a rare Chinese remake of a Hollywood movie. Benny Chan will direct.
"Connected" is a retread of New Line's cell phone-based kidnap actioner "Cellular."

Pic is in production in Hong Kong and skedded for delivery in the fourth quarter. It stars Louis Koo, Barbie Hsu, Nick Cheung and Liu Ye
Production is through WB's mainland Chinese joint venture company Warner China Film HG and Emperor. Warner China Film will distribute in China, while Emperor has all rights elsewhere, including North America.
Pic's $4.5 million budget was put up by Warner China Film, Emperor and new mainland Chinese movie investor BNJ. Cell phone manufacturer Motorola is a sponsor.
The script went through many rewrites before returning to a version very close to the 2004 original, and scripters Larry Cohen and Chris Morgan are expected to receive a credit.
Remake is said to have been greenlit by China Film Group topper Han San Ping, who figures it may appeal to the country's cell phone-mad population.
As of September China had 443 million cell phone subscribers, a total that is growing by 5 million every month.
The largest network operator, China Mobile, has more than 349 million subs -- a total bigger than the entire U.S. population.

Here are some pictures of the filming and cast~

Han Eun-Jung is Loose
Korea August 7, 2008

20080807_haneunjung

Not in the literally sense of the word, of course.

Han Eun-jung couldn’t resist wearing a gorgeous green cocktail dress that was 2-3 sizes too big at the press conference for her new film on August 5th 2008. Luckily, the actress was smart enough to cover her front with her hand to prevent a potential wardrobe malfunction. If it did happen…that would be quite a show!

Han Eun-jun will star in a new blockbuster film (by Korean standards), “The Divine Weapon” (신기전 ), directed by Kim Yoo-jin. At the cost of 10 billion won (approximately 9.8 million USD) and taking almost 6 long years to produce, the historical film tells the story of a little known sophisticated military weapon, a rocket launcher, that was developed the Joseun dynasty of the 15th century in Korea.

Check out the trailer for “The Divine Weapon”. The film shoots into Korean theaters on September 04th 2008.

Suh In-Young the Avenger?
Korea August 7, 2008


Ya Shim Man Man 2 (episode 2) concluded the head to head battle between Lee Hyori and Suh In-Young with the question “What would you do if you caught your boyfriend cheating on you?”

Hyorish’s answer brought sympathy from viewers and moved the MCs to support her as well. However, Suh In-Young’s brash outburst only made her eat her words. She attempted to clarify but only ended up with the same bewildered reaction.

Although Hyori should be the victor of this clash, Suh In-Young shall be awarded the victory only because her sense of feminine justice ended up not only defending Hyori later on in the episode, but for all other women who were/are mistreated by the opposite sex.

Her valiance may have won her this battle but the war still rages on.

Hyori - 2
SIY - 1

* Honestly, I don't mean to be mean, but when it comes to battling with Suh In-Young and Hyori (which is pointless..really it is) we all know who's going to win right? I mean there is competition but not that much. This whole thing is just stupid. Just like on July 31st when they were going head to head on Mnet Countdown even though they both had their share of fans, it was obviously the crowed was going wild for Hyori. Like I said its a dumn competition between to stupid girls. ^_^*

Miss Korea 2008 needs more than Big Hair
Korea August 7, 2008

The judges must have had a very late night because they still have on their beer goggles.

I don’t understand how she could have won. The other runner ups were much more easy on the eyes.

Maybe the judges equated big hair to big beauty. Generally, an average girl can look va-va-voom with a big pompadour since it takes away from her face and softens the features. But the new 2008 Miss Seoul needs more than big hair.

The new Miss Korea, Nari looks like an old relic of the 1970’s beauty queens-she is pear-shaped with wide child bearing hips, has short legs with moos,  and a wide face that only a mother could love. This is not the body or the face that is considered the Korean ideal in any way. In fact, she has all the features that people want to avoid (yes, very unfortunate!)

The 23 year old (going on 40)  Yonsei University graduate was crowned as the new Miss Korea 2008 on August 6, 2008 at the Seoul Sejong Center. The red-nosed ajumma will scoop up 10 million won (9800 USD) in earnings and begin her makeover training soon.

Congratulations

What’s with the awkward pose? Her tribute to the 1970s is not a coincidence

     Check out the home-made gown! Who wears something like that these days? And how did she win in this awful swimsuit? If Nari can be Miss Korea, almost anybody can. So, that’s a good thing.

Sun Lee Should Stay Miss Korea
Korea August 7, 2008


Sun Lee, Miss Korea 2007,  has passed the crown to the new Miss Korea 2008 (more on that later) but the woman looks ghastly in a plunging, cleavage baring 70’s flowy curtain dress. Sun did not make it the finals of the Miss Universe pageant this year, even with the help of seasoned trainer, Ines Ligron, who trained last year’s MIss Universe, Riyo Mori. But let’s face it, Sun could not compete with Honey Lee.

But now,  with one quick glance (that’s all you need) at the new Miss Korea, Sun Lee should not give up the crown so quickly.

*I don't care what anyone says but Sun Lee and Nari shouldn't have been crowned Miss Korea...no offense to anyone, but there were way more prettier girls there. And of course i know that what its not all about but still, just my opinion, dont take it to heart ^_^*

Angelababy has zero impression of Joe Cheng...
Jay Chou is the one she loves the most
 .
Taiwan/Hong Kong August 6, 2008







When Angelababy accepted an interview she admitted to never having seen Joseph Cheng act so she had zero impression of him; instead Jay Chou is the one she loves the most. She said: "If I had the chance to choose between the three guys Joseph Cheng, Jay Chou and William Chan to collaborate on a TV series, I will definitely choose Jay, because I've liked him since I was young, he's my favorite idol among the three places of Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. (will William get jealous that you didn't choose him?) No, because I can have lunch with him all the time, but I can't with Jay."

Joseph Cheng responded to her choosing Jay Chou to film a TV series: "I also like Jay! If I had a chance to film a series, I hope to work with Maggie Cheung! She's good at acting and has a distinctive figure, we can play lovers too!"

Big Bang Held Up Due to Heavy Rain
Korea August 6, 2008

 

Is apparently the reason why Big Bang is not back. They were originally scheduled to release their MV and mini-album on August 1st. But, due to the downpour their MV filming had to be delayed as they are filming outdoors. They have set both their album and MV release for the novel date 08.08.08, those dates over the years are usually left for gimmicks and marriages (I prefer the date 11.11.11 wait for my album then). Oh right and on the day of the Olympics, I’m anticipating the release as the teaser was entertaining and the words “stand up stand up wake wake up” have been ringing through my head ever since I heard it. I like these boys more now since they also mentioned that they regard Seo Taiji as “the best of the best”. Oh little Big Bang you are after noonas heart. <3

Da S reveals the reason behind her break up with Zai Zai
Taiwan August 6, 2008

按圖觀看下一張


The other day, Da S accepted an interview with ELLE, and openly revealed the reason behind her break up with Zai Zai.

She expressed: I realized that both parties were not suited for marriage, and therefore ended the relationship. I used to think that I would get married at a very young age, but after many of my good friends got married, I realized that I wasn’t someone who was suited for managing a family.

Da S admitted that the reason for break up was very direct and simple. Maybe it wasn’t fair for the other party, but if there wasn’t a road ahead for the relationship, then why not end it?

She admitted that deciding to break up was very painful. I can be very naïve, and often make decisions which others think are strange, but when I believe that something should be done, I will have the strength and determination to get it done.
