You know what? I felt generous enough to garner various chicken commercials by the biggest idols groups in Korea, from Shinhwa, to the most recent endorsers, Super Junior. Enjoy!

It's basically a TV Show featuring the YG Entertainment crew (CEO YG, Big Bang, Se7en, 2NE1, Teddy of 1Tym, Gummy, and possibly others). Cameras follow them around and you get to see the more private sides of the stars, see what they do when they're off the stage. The first episode aired today on MNet, I didn't really get to watch past the first part but it does seem pretty interesting. The best part for me thus far from the little that I watched was Daesung dancing to 2PM's "Again & Again" while watching them on TV. I know a lot of you don't know the Korean Language, so when the English subbed version of the video is released, these videos will be replaced.

Countdown. In a special segment titled We are the Family (both SG Wannabe and Davichi are under MNET Media), they did a cover of Timeless, the original english version by Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini. Most would be familiar with the Korean version of Timeless by Zhang Liyin and DBSK's Xiah Junsu. But I am guessing that Jin Ho and Davichi did the cover of Timeless in english because they didn't want to get permission from SM Entertainment for the Korean version as they still can't see eye to eye on some things. It was a beautiful performance by the 3 vocalists, minus the exaggerated mannerisms of Jin Ho. credit: dnjghk Jin Ho and Davichi did this before in the past. credit: minhhiep87 Zhang Liyin and Xiah Junsu performing Timeless in Korean. credit: DBSKmybabies Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini performs Timeless. credit: Volleyball13Wildfire sg wannabe, xiah junsu, davichi, m countdown, kim jin ho, kelly clarkson, zhang liyin, timeless, justin guarini

The little love story that unfolds in this music video around Ariel Lin as Super Junior's Siwon's old love, and Donghae's new love is the perfect story line for the soft, slow song called "Firefly". As we had expected, the song sounds sweet and lovely, and her pretty face and charming voice are just the cherry on the cake! Hopefully Ariel will garner more fans from this music video than anti-fans because we all know the ELFs are screaming and ripping their hair out from jealousy. Let's love, guys, love and appreciate.

The teaser is for their new song Kiss Kiss Kiss off their 4th album Mucho Punk due to release on the 14th of July, and it features the beautiful Jarah Mariano. Who's Jarah Mariano? Well, do a google image search and you'll have your answer. Just make sure no one is around, especially your mom, because I'm now grounded for a month. For those too scared of the wrath of their eagle eyed mothers, Jarah Mariano is a Victoria's Secret model. As expected from the Clazziquai Project, the song sounds great, and it's definitely a sound of the summer. The preview is all in English, and here's to hoping that the full song is also in English.

Many wondered what might have been if Kim Hyun Ah had not left Wonder Girls before Tell Me due to health issues. Well, 2 years later, Hyun Ah is now fully recovered and back as part of Cube Entertainment's 5 member girl group, 4minute. We were given a taste of what might have been as Hyun Ah performed a shortened version of Tell Me with her fellow 4minute members on the 2nd July episode of MNET M! Countdown for the Countdown Heroes segment. A breakdown of who's playing who. Hyun Ah - Sun Mi & Yoo Bin So Hyun - So Hee Ga Yoon - Ye Eun Ji Yoon - Sun Ye Ji Hyun - Generic dancer I wonder if Ji Hyun is really the leader because she doesn't sing at all unlike the other 4. Hyun Ah once again has the most parts, taking even the rapping part which I thought Ji Yoon or Ji Hyun might be doing. I don't care if they were lipsyncing or anything, as it was great to hear Tell Me again on Korean tv after so long and probably for a long while to come. I like the 3-shot Omona portion by So Hyun at 1:58. credit: dnjfghk BTS of Hyun Ah filming Tell Me MV before her departure. credit: kuuto1214 wonder girls, tell me, 4minute, hyun ah, m countdown, countdown heroes

My heart skipped a beat when I came across these pictures of 2NE1 members without makeup on. Sandara doesn't look too different. Park Bom doesn't look too bad either - She just looks like she came back from jogging with her ahjumma friends. Regardless of how tired she looks, she still carries a pretty face. But CL and Minzy good lawd... Judging from their straight look and same background, it looks like they posed for these pictures. Why in the world would their company let anyone photograph them like this? And really, I know we all love celebrity secrets, but this is a bit too much for me.

Only this time, netizens have presented us with a double dose of issues relating to SM's female nonagon. And, just like the Yoona-Tiffany-underoo hullabaloo, initial tabloid-fodder has given way to reasonable explanations. First, we have the Jessica-Seohyun Music Core incident. While performing "Etude" on MBC Music Core on June 27th, Jessica appeared to blow up at Seohyun for getting in her way, shoving Seohyun while spewing out "juh gee rah, ss**** (go away, f*****!). Netizens pounced on the apparent discord within the So Nyuhs, but the whole thing was just a prank. Koreans have this common birthday prank in which they act like megajerks towards the birthday boy/girl, only to unveil a surprise party and laugh off all of the pretend hate. As Seohyun's birthday was on June 28th, Jessica was simply enacting that fake hate. Considering how much netizens overreact to these kinds of things, however, it probably wasn't the best idea to publicly carry out that prank during a live performance. ______________________________________________ The second controversy is over ownership of SNSD's new single, "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)". Netizens dug up a song by Uzbekistani pop singer Dineyra released a few months ago that sounds very similar to SNSD's song. Video Credit: ZuhRaBegiM Video Credit: 101Nanonine101 Due to SM Entertainment's past remake issues, many people were quick to assume that the company had simply bought another already-released song. But, news reports are stating that the song is supposed to be SM's and SM's only. They officially purchased the music from Universal Music Publishing Group on February 1st, 2009, with the song's lyrics and K-pop-ification done by SM-hired Yoo Young Jin and Yoo Han Jin. Universal Music Publishing Group has stated that they believe their song's demo tape was leaked, and is considering legal action against the producers of Dineyra's song. But regardless of what happens between UMPG and the Uzibekistani entertainment world, the important thing for us K-pop fans is that SM and SNSD are free of any guilt on this particular issue, and that we can listen to "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" without any controversies lingering in the back of our minds. girls generation, snsd, sm entertainment, jessica, seohyun, genie, etude, remake, plagiarism

Case closed! So, looks like the girls showed their antis wrong, huh?]]> 2009-07-02T04:07:45+00:00 Jo Kwon and Seulong’s “Mnet Scandal” Ep 1 Released! http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/jo_kwon_and_seulongs_mnet_scandal_ep_1_released/ http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/jo_kwon_and_seulongs_mnet_scandal_ep_1_released/ The first episode of Jo Kwon and Seulong's "Mnet Scandal" dates, that fan girls have caused such a commotion over, has been released. Unfortunately there aren't subs out yet, but fan girls will need to restock on their tissue boxes anyway, as it's obvious that both couples hit it off quite well! Part One In the beginning of the episode, Jo Kwon and Seulong go into the cafe disguised as cameramen and eavesdrop on the girls' conversations before they appear in front of the lucky girls. Watch their love story unfold below! And to the fellow "I Ams", prepare to cry your hearts out while watching this episode. Although I was a bit disappointed that the show seems to target One Day members, I'm just grateful that 2PM's Wooyoung and 2AM's Changmin haven't been hit by the Mnet bullet...yet. Part Two Jo Kwon was doing just fine until his true side comes out around 5:20. Jo Kwon, I know you're eager to milk those ta-tas, but you gotta fight the hormones off! As for Seulong, to be honest, I thought his chick looked like my ass at first, but the more I see her, the prettier she gets! These two are especially cute together - Seulong seems to be one smooth talker! Either he watches a lot of Korean dramas or he's experienced. Playa playa! Part Three Jo Kwon and his girl are adorable together. Being the gentleman he is, Jo Kwon offers to walk her home after their sweet meet. With all the crazy fan girls and even some crazy fan boys these days, I wouldn't be surprised if fans went to stalk the poor girl at her house. Anyways, I give Jo Kwon's Mnet hoe props for sticking around even after Jo Kwon busts out some "Gee" moves at 6:13. If I were her, I would've bounced right after that embarrassingly atrocious armpit sniffin' move. Part Four At the end of the video, 2AM member Jinwoon comments that he's happy to see his hyungs getting along with their dates while MC Mong Changmin, on the other hand, comments that he is very jealous and that his heart hurts. He even shouts out, "Ah I want to date too!". Aw my poor Changmin. Psst! I'm willing to cheat on Wooyoung if you're willing not to tell him! Thanks to Symbelmyns and her awesome HQ videos! 2am, jo kwon, mnet scandal, seulong

Jo Kwon was doing just fine until his true side comes out around 5:20. Jo Kwon, I know you're eager to milk those ta-tas, but you gotta fight the hormones off! As for Seulong, to be honest, I thought his chick looked like my ass at first, but the more I see her, the prettier she gets! These two are especially cute together - Seulong seems to be one smooth talker! Either he watches a lot of Korean dramas or he's experienced. Playa playa!


Part Three
Jo Kwon and his girl are adorable together. Being the gentleman he is, Jo Kwon offers to walk her home after their sweet meet. With all the crazy fan girls and even some crazy fan boys these days, I wouldn't be surprised if fans went to stalk the poor girl at her house. Anyways, I give Jo Kwon's Mnet hoe props for sticking around even after Jo Kwon busts out some "Gee" moves at 6:13. If I were her, I would've bounced right after that embarrassingly atrocious armpit sniffin' move.


Part Four
At the end of the video, 2AM member Jinwoon comments that he's happy to see his hyungs getting along with their dates while MC Mong Changmin, on the other hand, comments that he is very jealous and that his heart hurts. He even shouts out, "Ah I want to date too!". Aw my poor Changmin. Psst! I'm willing to cheat on Wooyoung if you're willing not to tell him!

The Genie nonagon did some American covers, as K-pop bands are wont to do on these radio shows, with US-born Tiffany & Jessica performing Christina Aguilera's "Genie In A Bottle" (it was inevitable, really), and Taeyeon & Seohyun combining for a vocally powerful rendition of Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me". "Genie In A Bottle" Video Credit: prot0980 It's a good thing that Youtube's video coding made the clip low-quality and a bit out of sync, because many male brains wouldn't be able to handle HQ JeTi telling us to "rub [them] the right way" and that "[their bodies are] saying let's go". The recording also oozes SNSD dork moments, with Sooyoung attempting to pick Tiffany's nose or something at 0:40, and Taeyeon doing some Buzz Lightyear karate-chop action at 2:52. "Because You Loved Me" Video Credit: prot0980 For this leader (Taeyeon) and maknae (Seohyun) collaboration cover, however, many lament the poor video/audio quality. It seems that despite her dorkiness in the last video, Taeyeon is a Serious George when it comes to singing herself, turning away to fully concentrate on her vocals. Hard to believe that the girl who belts out that note at 3:15 is doing this on the same radio show: Kudos to lightning!@soshified for the caps The girls also performed new single "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" and "Etude" on the show (click for the videos). snsd, taeyeon, genie, girls' generation, chin chin radio, christina aguilera, genie in a bottle, celine dion

This time it’s 2NE1’s own fashion freak Sandara Park (Dara) and the beautiful Ha Ji Won. What a coincidence! These two artists have been compared multiple times for their similar looks especially in this picture of Ha Ji Won: Anyway, Dara wore her… uh, square dress for a photo shoot, while Ha Ji Won wore hers for a spread in the July 2009 issue of Harper's Bazaar Korea. Truthfully, I can’t pick because I think both ladies rocked the outfits well, although the outfits are pretty bizarre. So it’s up to you to decide, who wore it better?
