New Kpop Group MBLAQ Album Finally Released

MBLAQ is a Kpop group that consists of five guys (Yang Seung Ho, Lee Joon, G.O, Mir (Cheol Yong), and Cheon Dung (Sandara from 2NE1′s little brother) and guess who they’re under? RAIN. BI RAIN.
Rain you are amazing. He sings, AND he has his own group..
Well he’s not in the group..but he owns them? xD

This song is called “Oh Yeah”. Personally I don’t like it very much…I just listened to it..and all i can remember is them saying “OH YEAH OH YEAH” over and over again.

This song is G.O.O.D Luv.

And this is My Dream.

New Kpop Group: HinT

Yes, I know. It’s another new Kpop group. -__-||
Okay this one is called HinT. The members include two guys and one girl, and their names are Ju In, Shin Gyu, and Yeun Gyung. I think this is my first time seeing a Kpop group that has both genders in it, so that’s pretty cool to me :]
I like some songs that have both girl and guy voices in them. So yeah.
The first video is the MV and the second is their debut, their live performance on M!Countdown.
Their debut song is actually pretty good too. It’s not as catchy as “T.T Dance” by HAM (LOL ham..)”Lachata” by f(x), or U.F.O by Telepathy? (or the other way round?), but it’s nice to listen to. It’s soothing like “Shelter” by Jaejoong and Yoochun…(if you want to listen to any of the songs I just named, just type it in the search box). The song is called “Passion’s Generation”, and it kind of sounds like an Epik High song at the beginning. This song is a good debut song for them.

HAM’s “T.T Dance” Debut

The new girl Kpop group Heart and Mind…or known as HAM..finally made their debut with “T.T Dance” on M! Countdown.

Well….the song was a disappointment. When I heard the teaser, they only played the chorus, which was bubbly and cute, and I kind of liked it. But then…I heard this debut…and the song started helllaaa different. WTF?

It started out as a Rock song, and then became the cute and cheerful chorus, which was really really bad. I mean…the Rock part didn’t sound bad, and the chorus wasn’t really bad either, but they put it together. If those two different parts were separated, and became two different songs (one Rock, and one bubbly), then they would sound okay….

DBSK vs SM Update

The court ordered SM Entertainment to turn in all of DBSK’s financial documents by September 11th, 2009. And the court will make a decision based on what they see on those documents.

The court stated that their judgement will be final and that both parties will not be able to return for a retrial, once a decision is made.

SM Entertainment stated:
“After turning in all documents by the 11th, there is nothing more for us to do than await the courts final decision. As of now, we have no idea when a decision will be made by the courts.”

Heartbreaker Album’s Plagiarism Issues

Remember those plagiarism accuses of G-Dragon’s Heartbreaker album? I thought they were gone already, but nope. They’ve come back.

An article on the album:
“The accusations have been so strong that several publishing companies have said they will investigate.

The title track of the album, “Heartbreaker,” is said to have a striking resemblance to Flo Rida’s “Right Round.” Also, the song “Butterfly” seems to be a rip- off of Oasis’ “She’s Electric.”

The rights to “Right Round” in Korea are controlled by four companies: Warner Chappell Music Korea, Sony ATV Publishing Korea, Fuji Pacific Music Korea, and EMI Music Publishing Korea.

Both Warner Chappell and Sony ATV said they have noticed the similarities and will check with the composers of “Right Round” for further investigation. However, EMI Music said it saw no similarity.

G-Dragon’s management company, YG Entertainment, has not made no official commentary.”

Jaebeom Leaves Korea, Fans Keep Support

Jaebeom left Korea on September 8, 2009, and landed in Seattle, US. A bunch of his fans showed up at the Incheon Airport, begging him not to leave. Since he left, rumor is that Junho will become the leader of 2PM.

Besides that, fans left a bunch of sticky notes at JYP Center, saying things like “Leader, Don’t Go”, “Please Come Back”, ” You didn’t do anything wrong”, “I’ll wait for your return”.

Jaebeom Leaves 2PM

On the official 2oneday fansite, Jaebeom, the leader of 2PM announced that he will be officially quitting 2PM.
Jaebeom will be leaving Korea today at 6:30pm KST.

What Jaebeom posted:

“Hello, I’m 2PM’s Jaebeom.
I’m sorry for giving you my last greeting through this letter.
I think it will be hard for me to see you all on stage because of my sorry heart.
I’m really sorry to everyone, and I’m even more sorry to the fans who have shown me love.
From today, I will leave 2PM.
2PM boys, I’m really sorry to the boys and I’m sorry I couldn’t be strong as a leader and a hyung and have to leave like this.
However, I hope you will be more cool and charming.
Again, I’m sorry.

Jaebeom”

More details coming soon!

Man killed because he didn’t know Nobody

Oh man you guys. This is really really stupid…and I actually find it kind of funny (except for the part that he guy died..D:) But here, read this.

We all know that the hit song, Nobody by the Wonder Girls is a global phenomenon. But no one would have expected this. A man in the Philippines was apparently stabbed in the stomach and hit in the head until he was dead because he didn’t know the song, Nobody.

His name was Leo Santos, 28, and he was killed by 4 men from Tondo, Manila. The knife used was even left in the guy’s body and the whole murder was because he doesn’t know the song ‘Nobody’ by Wonder Girls.

Santos, an electrician from Mahomas Compound, Tondo, Manila was stabbed 2 times in the stomach and hit to death on 26th August. He died last Thursday at the Memorial Medical Center after succumbing to his fatal injuries..

The Manila Police District-Homicide Section are now looking for the suspects Jansen Maglanque, Jonar Balagtas, Rodolfo Aguas and Joseph (alias) for alleged murder.

Heading to the Ground Teaser

Oh man. Yunho was soo damnnn sexxyyy in this teaser >w< (well maybe except for the beginning when he was in the chicken suit). But yeah.

I’m so excited for this drama. It looks pretty good. I hope its a comedy, because serious dramas are boring. Yunho is with another girl in this drama though..so that makes me sad :[

The girl's eyes are really weird O_O.

DBSK’s Fans Help Fight Back

Some DBSK fans submitted a petition with 121,083 signatures to the Korean Human Right Commission to protect DBSK’s human rights.

“The exclusive contract between TVXQ and SM Entertainment is so unlawful and so violating of basic human rights that it is hard to believe that this is the contract between the nation’s best idol group and the nation’s best entertainment agency,” said the fans. “This contract shows the dark, sinister side of the Korean agency and is shocking the nation.”

I hope their petition works. I’m only sad because I didn’t get to sign it :[

Shindong’s First Love

On a recent episode of Celebrity Goes to School, Super Junior’s Shindong visited his old high school, Sewon High School. On the show, he talked about his childhood years, as well as his first love.

Shindong revealed that his first love had helped him through hard times and encouraged him throughout his years in high school when he and his family had lived in poor conditions. She had also bought groceries for his family every week with her own money, something that Shindong still appreciates to this day.

In addition, Shindong received a gift from his fans on the show, which caused him to tear up after having talked about his hardships prior to his rise to stardom.

More on f(x)!

f(x) will debut this September. The ‘x’ in ‘f(x)’ is like a variable. If the ‘x’ changes, the result will be different. Which correlates to the members diverse skills and backgrounds, which will allow them to not only flourish in Korea, but by changing their x-factor or variable, they will also succeed overseas – as that is the plan.

In addition, the ‘f’ stands for ‘flower’, and the ‘x’ stands for the female chromosome ‘xx’. And like a flower, they will blossom and become hot icons to represent Asia as the top “Asian Pop Dance Group.”

DBSK Breaking Up Rumors True?

DBSK’s Junsu, Micky, and Jaejoong have had their first hearing regarding the situation with SM Entertainment. An appeal to suspend the exclusive contract was made and if by any chance the exclusive contract suspension does go through, it will become inevitable that the group will break up. If the contract suspension is accepted, then the three members will no longer be able to perform as SME and it is being speculated that the two members who did not join, Yunho and Changmin will walk in a separate direction with three new members.

Considering all this, the reactions of the fans will probably cause absolute chaos. Not only this, but people who are vying for the three open spots of DBSK will also be tearing up a storm to get a chance. DBSK’s fan club Cassiopeia is currently boycotting SM Entertainment. With the cancellation of SM TOWN LIVE ’09, they began the boycott on the 12th and are continuing to do so.

What’s with Key, Seohyun, and Jessica?

Left to right: Seohyun, Key, Jessica

Seohyun from SNSD admitted that it was awkward between her and Key from SHINee.

She admitted, “Although we are the same age, Key and I still only use formal speech (Korean has an informal and formal way of talking) when we talk to each other.” When asked, Key also agreed, “We didn’t even say hello to one other until I was 4 years into training.”

When Jung Hyung Don asked Key about his first impression of Jessica, Key replied half jokingly, half seriously, “She was scary”. When Jessica was asked about her first impression of Key, she said “I didn’t even know he existed” as a joke. She was probably trying to get back at Key.

I hope he gets over all that awkwardness.
