Girl group 4Minute’s member Kim HyunA has been put under the chopping board of the netizens for the performing costumes she wore, which was deemed indecent and inappropriate for the young fans.
A video of HyunA performing with 4Minute on their new song ‘Muzik’ has been uploaded on Youtube on 19th September, and HyunA’s mini-dress was spotted constantly going up while she carries out the choreography of the song. While she was dancing, the really short miniskirt kept going up, to the point her underpants was visible. HyunA was even seen pulling her mini-dress down.
Obviously, the fashion malfunction lies in the fault of the group’s fashion coordinator.
Netizens say:
“For a young teenager, she is wearing one really short minidress”
“What’s with the coordi?”
“At this rate, her outfit will be deem inappropriate and lascivious”
“This is really going overboard, she is still so yong, u 17 years old”
“This is pathetatic, why are the singers suddenly all under criticisms? It’s like our country has done something. It happened to both male and female singers – beasty idols, sexy idols, young idols”
“Looking at it, her skirt just need to be a little longer and it solves the problem”
“Coordi, you should try wearing it”
Following the reports that YG Entertainment whose artists include G-Dragon and 2NE1 has received notification letters concerning infringement of copyrighted materials from a local copyright holder, Teddy (HongJoon Park), the composer and producer of 2NE1’s "I Don’t Care," had an exclusive phone interview with AM 7 on the 24th to express his position on the issue. Whenever there was a dispute over plagiarism, it was usually the label (who has the neighboring copyrights) who released statements to acknowledge or deny the accusation. This is the first time that the composer, the copyright holder, has spoken about his position.
In the interview, Teddy said firmly that he did not plagiarize, responding to the claims that there are similarities between the chorus parts of "I Don't Care" and "Just Go" from Lionel Richie’s album released last year. He said, "I did listen to the Lionel Richie song following the controversy over "I Don't Care." You can’t say it is plagiarism just because the feel, not the melody, of the two songs is similar." He stressed, "Two people living on the opposite sides of the world could have similar facial features. It is not right to say it is plagiarism just because the feel of the songs is similar." "I feel frustrated that some people are convinced that I used the Richie song as a reference, if not plagiarized." he added.
Teddy is a member of the hip hop group 1TYM and has been with YG Entertainment for over 10 years, writing and/or arranging most of the hits by YGE artists. He arranged Se7en's "I Know" (2006) and Big Bang’s "Sunset Glow" (2008) and wrote and arranged TaeYang’s "Look Only at Me" (2008), Um JeongHwa’s "D.I.S.C.O." (2008), and 2NE1 and Big Bang’s "Lollipop" (2009).
He says, "When you write a song and if that song is similar to another song then it is the composer’s responsibility to make changes. However, as far as this song ("I Don't Care") is concerned, Heaven knows and I know that I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of so I will not discuss it at length." He added, "I have absolutely no interest in either lawsuits or plagiarism accusations."

Shortly after being chosen to be endorsers for shoe Megastore LesMore, popular girl group KARA has been chosen to be endorsers for Jinjin Food System's "Good Because it's Roasted Chicken" oven-roasted chicken product line.
KARA has exploded in popularity this year with "Mister" and "Wanna," and are quickly becoming a popular choice for companies to endorse their products. There's even talks of KARA going to Japan to endorse some products there as well.
Jinjin Food Systems on why they chose KARA, “KARA has been attracting many fans from the younger age bracket and their popularity keeps rising thanks to their young and fresh charm. We also wanted to choose models who are different to the former models, and we’ve decided to pick Kara as the model.” - translations by cactus @ KARAHOLIC Forums.
The filming for the CF and photo shoot occurred earlier today on September 23rd. When KARA was asked about the endorsement they replied, "We always wanted to become models for chicken, which are said to be done only by stars, we're even happier as well because we like chicken.”
They're right about stars endorsing chicken. Some stars who have endorsed chicken in the past: Kim Jong Kook, Super Junior, Wonder Girls, Kim Hyun Joong, Leeroy Jenkins, and Big Bang's Daesung.

Group 2NE1 member Gong MinJi was seen tearing after knowing that her grandmother Madam Gong OkJin’s health is deteroriating.
Gong MinJi has received much shock to find out that her grandmother’s health has deteriorated much with 2 stroke attack and a car accident. And with that, she was seen very quiet and looking troubled before the girls’ performance on Asia Song Festival on 19th September.
YG Entertainment said, “When MinJi heard the news about her grandmother’s health, she had a shock. The other 2NE1 members are also comforting her.”
Friends and families have revealed that they worried that Gong MinJi will feel guilty of not being able to see her grandmother as often with her singing activities.
A family friend said, “Madam Gong OkJin have loved to see Gong MinJi perform on stage more than anyone else from before MinJi debuted. With that this becomes more of a burden to MinJi. There are plans for MinJi to go visit her grandmother and take care of her after her minialbum activities end.
Gong MinJi has gained interests before her debut as the grand-daughter of Gong OkJin who is famous for her ‘transformation dance’. Gong MinJi also mentioned about her grandmother when she debuted, pointing out that her grandmother has given her advice about her performances on stage.
Kangin's CCTV findings about his assault case were released today.
The police have revealed the results after analyzing the CCTV video for the past few days. The police revealed through a press release, "Kangin and the other man involved threw punches and kicked each other on the street in front of the bar. After learning about this, Kangin's sunbae came and got involved in the fight, also throwing punches and kicking."
They continued, "All 7 people involved have been sentenced with acts of violence and legal violations but they are not slapped with a restraining order and are thus not going to prison. As for Kangin, we acknowledge the fact that Kangin tried to keep himself away from the fight. He tried many times to ignore the one person that kept following him and using violence against him. We will count Kangin's acts of violence as self defense."
The police concluded that the fight involved Kangin, two men who escaped the fight, one person who was with Kangin, and three extra people.
Kangin had denied the charges made against him 5 days ago and now the truth is finally out. The police have decided Kangin did try to stay out of it which makes it self defense but he must go to court for a further and more detailed decision about his punishment because he is charged with an act of violence violation
Oh dear, its not possible for someone to keep attacking you and you dont hit back cause its in the image of an idol. If I were Kangin I would get really pissed off and beat the crap out of that guy. Seriously, if you are drunk, dont pull idols down with you. I just hope the korean fans dont make such a big deal out of hit. Its only an act of violence and kangin is a victim!
Oh well, okay, the Cf is for some Shinhan card thing. Real CF:
LOL!

Kim Heechul Loves Super Junior
“I act, but Suju is my eternal home”
“Because of the popularity, at one time I wanted to drop out of Super Junior, but now it’s an important name, one I couldn’t shake off if I tried.”
This is Kim Heechul, whose name became known through the popular idol group Super Junior. But if you take a look, his debut project was actually KBS 2TV’s 2005 Sharp 2 [반올림2], which means that the label “singer-turned-actor” is not accurate to describe him.
Therefore, Kim Heechul’s return to television in the new SBS weekend drama Love You Ten Million Times [천만번 사랑해] isn’t a deviation from his course but actually a return to his original profession. He makes his return a year and seven months after his last television role, the SBS drama Golden Bride [황금신부], which wrapped its broadcast run on February 3, 2008.
An honest confession: “At one time, I wanted to leave Super Junior”
Kim Heechul once wanted to leave Super Junior. They’re one of the mainstays of the pop industry and receive a lot of love, but he thought the group was like clothing that didn’t suit him.
“When I look back at the past several years, I was a really willful kid. I even kicked up a fuss over why I had to sing given that I debuted as an actor. It was a frequent occurrence to have to suddenly go onstage for Super Junior activities as I was shooting a drama. So I wanted to leave Super Junior. And it’s not like I’m an outstanding singer, truthfully…”
In the past few years, Kim Heechul has felt, “I want to quit being a singer and focus on acting.”
Unable to make up his mind, his relationships became estranged from the other members of Super Junior. The younger members began to look askance at their contrary hyung Heechul, and the distance grew between them.
But ah… the Super Junior members caused tears in the eyes of Kim Heechul, who describes himself as having been selfish.
“One day, I went to the practice studio after not going for a while because I was filming a drama, and the other members said, ‘Hyung, we set aside a spot for you when we practiced. You can just come in later.’ I had only thought of myself, but it gave me a heavy heart to see them looking after me. [Smiles]”
He was caught by some unknowable emotion that welled up from deep inside. Kim Heechul ran off to the restroom to shed some tears.
“The tough times have passed for Super Junior… now teamwork is best!”
That’s how Kim Heechul was moved by Super Junior’s love. That’s the moment that his wandering heart decided to make Super Junior his eternal home.
“I think the tough times have passed now. I’ve turned over a new leaf and opened my troubled heart to them frankly, and now I don’t know how I’d live without those guys. That’s why we even went on a trip recently. We all stripped naked and ran around and tore down the walls in our heart that had formed unknowingly.”
He boasted, “Now the teamwork in Super Junior is the strongest in the world.” Perhaps that’s why when talking of his acting return, he also talks of his pride in the members along with his new project.
“I once wanted to leave the team to go act, but I have to be loyal to the members who treat me so well. Hahaha. Super Junior is my eternal home. I want to live happily singing with the group, acting, doing MC work, and being active in many different areas.”
Kim Heechul closed by adding, “Acting isn’t a side project, but a longtime dream for me. In the way that I showed my personality onstage as a singer, I want to show colorful acting as well.”
AHH, the super junior LOVEEEE! :D Makes me so so so warm and tingly all inside!

TVXQ talks with SM Entertainment break down
TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki members Xiah, Micky, and Jaejoong were trying to make efforts to resolve the issues with SM Entertainment behind the scenes but it seems all talks of coming to an agreement have broken apart. Korean Media Outlet Newsen recently had a phone conversation with the court overseeing the issue.
In the phone conversation, the court stated that it'll be all up to them to come up with the resolution as both sides despite talks of resolution, will not budge from their initial stances. They continued by stating that they're thoroughly reviewing all the papers, documents, and evidence given. After this thorough investigation, both parties will be notified of the decision. The Court stated that they don't know when exactly they'll come up with the decision but that it should be sometime this month.
As the talks have broken down, it seems there's no chance of resolution outside the courts. Hopefully the courts come up with a fair and firm decision

It's well known that TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki's Jaejoong is very popular with the ladies in Japan. Despite not being Japanese, he was in the top 10 ranking for the "Top 10 Artists You Want As Your Lover" poll and also awarded "The Top Prince in Japan." Now, he can add another title as one of Japan's most best looking artists.
On CDShop's Tsutaya Online there was a poll with the title "Most attractive Male Singer," Jaejoong came in second place with 23.9% (632,202) votes, only trailing Hotaka Yamashita (Ikimono Gakari) with 30.7% (810658) votes. Jaejoong wasn't the only TVXQ member with votes as his fellow bandmates were respectively ranked as well: Micky Yoochun at #11, Xiah Junsu at #27, Changmin at #32, and Yunho at #34. Surprisingly, another Korean artist was in the ranking as well and that was T.O.P. of Big Bang who came in at #35.
Ever since the release of their album 'Revolution', KARA has recently been performing 'Mister' while wearing belly shirts, and Goo Hara especially has been a hot topic among netizens for her tiny 'ant-waist'.
KARA's representatives stated, 'Due to her very small body and thin bones, Hara looks very skinny. She has always had a skinny waist, but the group's recent diet for their comeback and their busy schedules further reduced her waist. Recent measurements have shown that she has a waistline of just a little less than 21 inches.'
Hara also recently stated shyly, 'I can't gain much weight because I have such a busy schedule. Fans often call me ant-waist. It's a bit embarrassing at times.'
JYP finally made a statement on JYPE homepage :
I talked to JYPE staffs, 2PM members, and Jaebeom about our future plans. First of all, although many people have sent their encouraging words to Jaebeom, he hasn’t changed his mind; thinking he made a huge mistake. He said that he is still very sorry and too ashamed to be on the stage. He also told me that since other 2PM members have worked so hard, they should not be affected by this in any negative ways. That’s why he left 2PM so quickly.
I think the same way as Jaebeom. The reason why I didn't stop him from leaving is because I thought whether Jay being in 2PM or not now won’t be that big deal when you look at his life as a whole. Some think 4 years of his hard working has been destroyed, but his skills that were built up in 4 years are still remained in his body.
If Jaebeom receives a chance to grow up and become more mature by this incident, he will be able to fly even further later on. As criticism against Jay was way too harsh, requesting to revoke Jay's resignation is asking for too much as well. It’s my role to respect his opinion wanting to have his time alone apart from the stage, and help him later when he says he wants to be on the stage again.
I think you should give him supports by then. Again, I apologize for not being able to manage and protect him well. We'll try our best to not make this happen again
Thank you again,
2PM will continue their schedule with 6 members as it was planned

Super Junior arrived in Hong Kong yesterday in preparation of the Hong Kong leg of their Super Show 2 Live Tour, and Kangin who was involved in a case of drunken brawling did not appear at the press conference, even though he’d touched down together with the rest of his members.
Another member, Kibum, on the other hand, did not take part in the concert because of his injury.
During yesterday’s press conference, the media’s main focus was on what the other members felt about Kangin’s involvement in the drunken brawl case. Heechul, who donned a facemask throughout, replied that Super Junior will always work hard, and they thanked everyone for their concern.
Super Junior even showed off a few lines of Cantonese, in the spirit of doing as Romans do in Rome, but unfortunately no one could understand a word of what they were saying.
All 12 members will have their own special stages during the concert, and Ryeowook revealed that he would be cross-dressing as a woman, and Donghae will perform a song while riding on a bicycle.
9-girl group SNSD's Jessica(20) gave an encouraging message to her younger sister Krystal(15) who made her debut through the 5-girl rookie group f(x).
On the 15th, after the press conference about the production for the musical 'Legally Blonde' at the Seoul Samsungdong Coex Artium in the afternoon, Jessica showed her worries about her younger sister during the meeting with Star News.
"Krystal made her debut at a younger age than me. Making an early debut can be a good thing but I'm still worried" said Jessica, caring as a older sister, not as a senior singer.
"However, Krystal, being a strong girl, will do a good job"; "I also heard from manager oppa last year that she was doing great", said Jessica with a smile on her face.
Then she said, "Actually, before I started my activities, I didn't have time to spend with her so I didn't know she could sing, dance and talk so well like that"; "Learning/practicing dance and sing in a fast time to the point of being capable of debuting already never crossed my mind", feeling proud.
"I hope Krystal can work hard in the future like how she is doing now"; "Surely, similar aspects between us will appear because we are sisters, not because she is trying to follow her older sister. But with each one of us carrying a different charm, it would be good if hers could be explored.", requested Jessica.
On a side note, 'Legally Blonde', which it has the same name with the Hollywood movie, it's originally a musical from Broadway. Jessica will play the female protagonist Elle Woods together with actress Lee Haniu and actor Kim Jiwoo, making their performance on the November, 14th at the Coex Atrium.
