The Brown Eyed Girls and ZE:A were guests on this week’s KBS 2TV Star Golden Bell. First, ZE:A’s Moon Joon Young revealed that there were many possible names for their team before their official debut.
He said, “Before we became ZE:A (Children of Empire), there were Sky, Legend, V and many other possible names. We naturally became ZE:A after our reality TV program.”
Narsha added on to the subject of team names by saying, “When the Brown Eyed Girls used to perform at clubs in Hongdae, we were called Crescendo, but something didn’t feel right, so we changed it to Dark Angel.” She also revealed, “After that, we wanted to become ‘Monsters of Kpop’ so we even thought of Monster as our name. It would have been a disaster if we were called Monster.”
Lee Seung Gi and Super Junior’s Leeteuk appeared this afternoon at the Suwon World Cup Stadium where they celebrated Children’s Day with some lucky children.
During the half-time show of the soccer game betweenSuwon Bluewings and Daejeon Citizens on May 5th, Lee Seung Gi and Leeteuk appeared for a special event sponsored by Samsung and Hyundai.
As May 5th is Children’s Day in Korea, many sporting events today allowed children free admission to watch the games and this soccer match was no exception as elementary school kids watched for free.
Not just that, some lucky children also got the chance to be on the pitch with Leeteuk and Lee Seung Gi as they posed for photos and also played a ‘bowling’ game.
Korea’s pretty boy, Lee Min-ho has 544 thousand fans on Facebook. Famous Hollywood star, Leonardo Di Caprio is not even close with about 29 thousand fans. Similarly, the American dream seekers, the Wonder Girls have about 240 thousand fans. Compared with them, Lee Min Ho definitely has the right to feel proud of his half a million fanbase.
The interesting part is, on Lee’s facebook page, there are different languages of comments regarding Lee’s past activities such as ambassador for UNICEF, Good-Downloader campaign, TV show, CF and so on.
According to the statistic, Lee’s fans mostly came from China (25%) and Southeast Asian countries (72%) such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippine, Singapore, Indonesia and others. Korea fans are only 3% and there are also fans who came from Canada and France.
After a crazy month of April for the music industry, the month of May starts bright as the boys of 2PM finally performed their comeback stage on today’s Inkigayo! This marks their fourth comeback performance as they performed last week on Mnet’s M! Countdown and this week on Music Bank and Music Core.
Special request by Ayesha. She wanted me to post about Kim Bum. No worries. I was going to post about him, anyway :)
You may know that new idol group Infinite made a cameo appearance in Epik High’s Run music video. Now, a member of the group, L, is gathering attention for looking like actor Kim Bum!
Recently, L appeared on Mnet Idol Theater, Infinite You’re my Oppa. Since his appearance on the show, netizens acknowledge his resemblance to Kim Bum and became even more hyped up about Infinite’s debut.
One year ago, L was an ordinary high school student; however, he was the first one to be picked for the new idol group when he auditioned after being cast in the streets. He was also the main?character of the Run music video.
A representative said, “Within a week after rumors that L looked like Kim Bum surfaced, a fan cafe was opened, and already 1400 members joined.”
He also added, “We were hesitant to put an unknown rookie as the main subject of the music video, but he earned high points because of his fresh image.”
Well, the time has come, and Lee Jun-ki (Hero, Time Between Dog and Wolf) is off to fulfill his mandatory two-year military service. He headed off to the Nonsan training center on the afternoon of May 3, where he will undergo basic training for five weeks and then move on to twenty months of active duty.
Lee expressed his thanks to his supporters, and was sent off by a large crowd of 500 fans (which is pretty large for this sort of event; other actor send-offs tend to number around 100 or 200).
Lee had received his enlistment papers on April 12, and had applied for a deferral in order to fulfill his commitments to the movie Grand Prix and the drama Faith, both of which he had agreed to do. However, he was not granted the extension and the final decision came on April 28. Grand Prix, which has already begun filming, now needs to find a swift replacement, while Faith has a bit more time to re-cast.
If you don't like this or think this is somehow a shit, please leave this site. I don't need Korean haters here. And please don't bother coming if you're not interested. Thank you
