WONDER GIRLS Album Launch Event- The Making of "2 Different Tears" MV

The teaser was quite weird.

The teaser for Wonder Girls’ first new song in the US, 2 Different Tears, has now been released and I have to say that it was quite awkward. It is said to be an upbeat retro 80s song. The song should hit the charts soon. Check out the teasers. Also, Wonder Girls’ new album has reached #13 on iTune’s Chart!!

Super Junior(슈퍼주니어)_미인아_뮤직비디오티져(MusicVideo Teaser)

During an interview with various press members, Super Junior revealed their feelings regarding their Chinese member Hankyung’s absence. These days, Super Junior has been promoting with ten members. Kangin is enlisting in the army soon, Kibum is concentrating on acting and Hankyung is caught in a legal feud with SM Entertainment. Leeteuk commented, “I think we forgot that Hankyung was a Chinese person because we worked with him for so long. It’s like how a family sometimes don’t share their feelings with each other because they see each other constantly. We didn’t really listen to each other’s problems. I thought about what a hard time Hankyung had to be in to do this. If he has a change of heart, his place is still empty so I hope he returns.” Although Kangin and Kibum have been supporting Super Junior on their comeback, Hankyung has currently cut off his contact with the members. Let’s hope his issues with SM Entertainment are resolved soon!

Lyrics for MBLAQ’s Y are in trouble!

MBLAQ’s comeback seemed to be on a good start with their music video for Y released just a few days ago and the track slowly rising in various charts. However, MBLAQ already received warnings from MBC, KBS and SBS due to the shooting scene in the music video, which they had to ultimately remove. Now MBLAQ is facing more problems, this time, because of the lyrics. MBC announced that the lyrics for Y were unsuitable for broadcast. The specific lyrics that were problematic were, “널 씹어서 뱉어준다” which roughly translates into “I’ll chew you up and spit you out”. A representative of J.Tune Entertainment said, “We will alter the problematic section and request a re-evaluation from the specific broadcasting company” Meanwhile, KBS did not find any problems with the lyrics of Y, and MBLAQ is awaiting the official review of SBS.

Boy group MBLAQ’s Lee Joon fainted because of an ice cream during a tv show recording.

MBLAQ recently participated in the recent recording of SBS E! TV ‘Shin Junghwan PD’s Variety Production’ as the first guests. This is a variety program where Shin Junghwan invites idol to become guests on his show and with his 17 years of experience, teachers them about variety.

The first episode MBLAQ played a lot of game missions during the recording. However during one of the game where they had to eat very cold ice cream for the mission, Lee Joon laid down on the floor. In order to avoid the punishment and ate the ice cream really fast Lee Joon said “because it was so cold I thought my head was going to crack” while laying down on the floor making the recording stop for a bit.

Luckily Lee Joon regained his normal breathing and flexibly got over it and made the atmosphere peaceful again by saying “The road of a variety idol is very rough.”
MBLAQ and Shin Junghwan PD’s rough variety attempt will be aired on the 25th 8PM through SBS E! Tv ‘Shin Junghwan PD’s Variety Production.’

From Boy Meets Boy to Friends

Director Kim Jo Gwang-soo garnered some attention with last year’s queer short film Boy Meets Boy, and now he’s coming out with his follow-up. Called Called 친구사이, the title translates to “We’re Friends?” or simply “Friends?”

Friends?, like Boy Meets Boy, also deals with queer romance, and this time, the director has cast two unknown actors, 19-year-old Hong Jong-hyun and 25-year-old Seo Ji-hoo. Hong started as a model and was also in Jo In-sung’s Frozen Flower, while Seo earned his role through auditions.As with Boy Meets Boy, the events of this film are based on the director’s personal experience; the film aims for a “realistic, frank” depiction of young gay love. Although Boy Meets Boy was a mere 35-minute short, it had a decent amount of buzz. Maybe it was the pretty young actors Kim Hye-sung (Unstoppable High Kick) and Lee Hyun-jin (Family Honor), maybe it was the material (two high school boys falling in love for the first time), maybe it was the fact that the film was nearly dialogue-free. Maybe it was the zeitgeist. In any case, it got people talking and even had a theatrical run.This film is described as “lively and bold,” with stronger (romantic) scenes between the actors than in Boy — but that doesn’t mean they’ll be steamy or graphic; rather, this film features older characters (twentysomethings, versus Boy’s teenagers) and a longer running time. The plot is described as the “unexpected events that occur when Seok (Hong) goes to visit Min-su (Seo), who’s serving his military duty.”The mid-length (50 minute) film will begin shooting mid-March, and aims for a theatrical release sometime in the latter half of the year.
