►►Miss A’s Min shocks netizens by putting on…pants
On the latest episode of “100 Points of out 100”, Miss A’s Min was to act out a dancing scene from the musical, “Fame“. Since she was unable to carry out the performance in her short mini skirt, the staff gave her a pair of gray sweatpants to wear. Now normally, you’d expect the girl to walk off the set for a few minutes to don them in privacy, but Min? Min chose to step into the sweatpants right then and there, causing the rest of her castmates to shout with embarrassment and immediately shield their eyes. Park Kyung Lim even cried out in shock, “Excuse me Min-ssi, but what are you doing?!”
Hilariously, it seemed to be the men who were more flustered about the situation, as they asked, “Are we meant to close our eyes for this?”, to which Min innocently responded, “Can’t I wear this here?”
Although the cast was able to either close their eyes or look away, the cameramen still had to film her getting dressed – the knowledge of which made the cast turn bright red with embarrassment.
Considering how Min was trained for eight years in the States, it’s no surprise that she’s got more of a liberal and spunky attitude than her peers.

►►SM Ent lawsuit day 1: “The way we treat DBSK is not as bad as others”

Three members of TVXQ (Xiah Junsu, YoungWoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun) and SM Entertainment had their first hearing today regarding an objection to the verdict on a contract suspension injunction that was made last year, and were unsuccessful in closing the gap between their conflicting stances.
The legal representatives of the three members of TVXQ and SM met at the Seoul District Courts at 5 p.m. on the 7th to state their stances on the lawsuit made by SM Entertainment regarding an objection to the contract suspension injunction verdict.
This hearing was held after SM filed for the lawsuit on April 12th as an objection to the partial acceptance verdict made by the Courts last year.
At the hearing, SM’s representative stated, “Compared to other agencies in Korea, TVXQ’s income division is not unfair,” and emphasized that TVXQ’s income division was not a pressing issue in the exclusive contract.
The representative also strongly questioned the three members’ action of signing a separate contract with their Japanese agency AVEX although only the contract suspension injunction, not the actual lawsuit, had been partially accepted by the Courts.
On the other hand, the three members’ representative stated, “The length and the income division section of the exclusive contract between SM and TVXQ is so unfair that the situation is very grave.”

►►Half of Lee Hyori’s ‘H-Logic’ songs face plagiarism accusations
This is some serious business Kpop diva Hyori is facing…to my surprise this time, some of the songs sound EXACTLY THE SAME (or they’re basically the same song) 😦
Hyori’s composer, Bahnus, seems to be pulling all the right stops for the singer… towards a bad reputation. Bahnus helped compose seven songs for Hyori’s H-Logic album, and of those, six are questionably plagiarized.
What makes these cases so striking is that no where in the album credit, did M.Net Media acknowledge that these songs were sampled.
Sampling is taking a portion of the sound recording and using it for a different song. To prevent legal actions and accusations of plagiarism, artists who want to use the sampled clips must first and foremost obtain authorization from the original artist before they are able to sample.
Of the six accusations, one of the songs is confirmed to be plagiarized. A girl group from Canada known as Cookie Couture released their song “Boy, Bring it Back” in 2008 and Hyori released her version, “Bring it Back” this year.

►►Bad-mouthed SNSD Tiffany from Cubed3 interview is a fake
Following the great amount of interests from Korean and international fans and netizens regarding some of the responses that So Nyeo Shi Dae Tiffany made during her interview with English gaming site Cubed3, the host site has taken down the interview content and announced that the interview came from an unknown and unauthentic source.
*Even though I don’t know much about the article, it seems like this fake SNSD’s Tiffany was talking trash about Wonder Girls and Wonderfuls so that’s why fans were mad…
The site wrote, “It has come to the attention of Cubed3 that an unknown source has willingly attempted to portray themselves as Tiffany from Girls’ Generation in order to gain attention. “
Cubed3 replaced the interview content put up previously and replaced with:
It has come to the attention of Cubed3 that an unknown source has willingly attempted to portray themselves as Tiffany from Girls’ Generation in order to gain attention.
The C3 team is currently working with SMTown/SM Entertainment to get to the bottom of this matter and hopefully an update will be forthcoming in the near future.
In the meantime, Cubed3 would like to extend its apologies to any fans that have been inconvenienced or misled by this article.

►►2PM’s ‘Don’t stop, can’t stop’ lyrics spark controversy about..Jaebum?
On the 19th at 10 AM, 2PM released their third single, ‘Don’t Stop Can’t Stop.’
Their title track, ‘Without U,’ tells of a story of a man that was betrayed by a woman’s lies and his determination to stand back up again. The song creates an odd atmosphere with the combination of a piano and a synthesizer.
JYPE stated, “The smooth and charismatic performance that 2PM will show will be different from their previous activities. They will show a more mature side to them.”
On the other hand, the lyrics of their title track, ‘Without You,’ has become embroiled in controversy. The lyrics state, “Fine, it’s better that we break up. This was bound to have happened anyway, you were going to do this anyway. This is better. Without you, I’ll be cooler, I’ll stand up again, I’ll live on again. Were the things we had together just worthless enough to throw away? Don’t you even regret it? Don’t you care? Are you okay without me?”
Netizens have stated, “These are statements referring to Jaebum,” “They purposely wrote up the lyrics like that in order to create noise marketing,” and “This is too forceful, don’t force it.”
