►►Park Jaebum is a… Pink Bunny?
LOL! look at its sexy pose! that’s totally our Jaebum 😛
A staff from Corby CF posted on a 2PM webboard that she was requested by the JYPE to add a ‘Pink Bunny’ to Khun’s set so she only had like a few hours to prepare for it. JYPE also asked the staff to engrave ‘Jay’ on the bunny. However she couldn’t do that because she was out of time and very tired. So, even though there was no Jay name engraved but this pink bunny is Jay ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

At the scene of Anycall Commercial Shooting
24 hours from the shooting had begun
he was resting peacefully
on the pink sofa
Early morning a day before the shoot
About 3am in the morning
A number of things had to be added
Pink bunny,flush toy,closet
Pink cloth..pink carpet,etc.
Just in 3 hours
I had to prepare all these things
how could i make it work?
Tried to get my head around it
Have to move fast before the shooting begins
Commercial shootings are like that
There is nothing impossible.
The day of shooting the commercial
It was a sunday
I went to the morning market
The closet
Haha
I sent the closet I had at home
to the scene
And the pink clothes
I searched to the DDM fashion malls
Carpet
Namdaemong morning market
And the last
Pink Bunny Flash Toy
Where in hell should I get it
I asked a friend from university
to make it. It was that difficult to get this
toy made.

►►SNSD’s Tiffany, “There was a time when I exploded with jealousy because of Yuri”
I mean, c’mon. I’m sure all girls are jealous of each other, not just Tiffany so don’t worry, dear 😉
Tiffany of SNSD revealed her jealous side.
Along with other SNSD members and Shinee, Tiffany was a guest on KBS 2TV “Sangsang Plus.”
Tiffany, one of the more strong-willed members of SNSD, is also known to be very jealous of her other members.
Tiffany is currently the MC for MBC “Show! Music Core” with Yuri of SNSD. Tiffany said that “there was a time when I exploded with jealousy because of Yuri.”
Not too long ago, Yuri brought her fellow members from KBS 2TV “Invincible Youth” into the dressing room that she and Tiffany were using. This visit surprised Tiffany who thought that Yuri had brought them to introduce them to her. However Yuri talked with the girls instead, leaving Tiffany to explode with jealousy and pretend like she was memorizing her script.
Tiffany then said that “I’m also jealous of the nicknames that the members call each other.”
This episode will air on December 8, at 11:05 PM.

►►Super Junior-M has no time to date & doesn’t even know how a kiss feels like?
That’s quite sad…but then again, some members certainly got some experience since kissing in CFs is such a common thing, no? keke
Korean boyband Super Junior-M is very popular, and the members have laughingly expressed that there is no time for them to date. Donghae even took it one step further, and said that he doesn’t even know how a kiss feels like!
SJ-M’s schedule for this visit is fully packed with appearances on shows and the like. When asked about their impression of Taiwan, Kyuhyun said that the very first Chinese song that he had heard was A-mei’s [聽海 Ting Hai]. And as for Donghae, Ariel Lin’s name was frequently mentioned, and he expressed a wish to act with her in an idol drama someday.
The members are constantly jetting around Asia for their career, and there have been no chances for them to be in love. Siwon was rather disappointed: “Girls need to have someone by their side, but we’re just too busy, so they might not even want to date us at all.” Donghae even joked at the side: “Up til now, I still don’t know how a kiss feels like!”
Hangeng, who was rumoured to be in a noona-dongsaeng relationship with senior Li Xiaolu, took the chance to clarify the rumours: “We’re really just good friends. If a meeting with a friend is taken out of context and warphed into a rumour, then I’m really worried that one day when I go out with a male friend, [people] will say that I’m gay. I hope that the fans will be understanding, and not attack my friends verbally.”

-comment by kpoprants@wp
No but srsly, if you’re into K-ballads, this guy is a MUST-KNOW!! He’s amazing and so underrated (maybe cause he’s older than most idols- 27 years-old?) idk but I srsly recommend Kim Jong Wook’s first album cause it’s just amazing 🙂
►►Beast’s DooJoon ate larvae (worm-like things) in Africa and he loved it
OMG DooJoon! you’re so brave and weird but that’s why I like you 😛
Group BEAST’s Yoon DooJoon, tried eating larvae and ant deliciously and commented “it’s good”. His not-idol-like behavior creates interest from the audiences.
Yoon Doo Joon appeared on the new episode of MBC TV variety program ‘Sunday Sunday Night – DANBI’ on December 6th, that visited Zambia, Africa which is suffering from the lack of clean water.
MC TakJaeHun, Kim Hyun Chul, Ahn Yong Mi all together, went to Mumbwa, Zambia, along with YoonDooJoon and visited the local market where the local people sells dried ants and larvae. They tried eating the ants and larvae, and was amazed by the taste in their mouth.
Yoon DooJoon naturally chew the bug, saying ” This is good for the body because there’s a lot of protein”. His not-so-idol-like behavior attracted the viewers.
He also tried bargaining expensive things in the market by acting cute to the seller, which also grabs the fans’ heart.
Meanwhile, in the program DANBI, they are trying to provide clean water by digging wells in Mumbwa,Zambia in order to replace the contaminated water that killed more than 1 children in every 5 seconds.

►►[Interview] Jang Geun Suk, “I still believe in love at first sight”
Jang Geun Suk recently did an interview with Sport Chosun on December 7th, talking about various questions many viewers of “You’re Beautiful” may have in mind after watching his stellar role in the drama.
►Requests for You’re beautiful season 2 haven’t stopped
Up til now, there hasnt been any proper talk about a season 2. There are alot of people who want a 2nd season and I also think that 16 episodes passed by too quickly. If i’m given a chance, I want to be in the 2nd season too.
►It seems that there are lots of regrets because it went head to head with IRIS.
I was at a loss at the beginning because the ratings were not as good as I thought they would be but there was nothing like dissatisfaction. Instead amongst criticism, i felt grateful towards the crew and my younger coactors that we were able keep the ratings at 2 digits
►Seems that you are like Hwang tae kyung in real life as well – a bit picky (& hard to deal with)
I do have a perfectionist side to me like hwang tae kyung. But i’m not self centred. But living as tae kyung, i realised that I am a little like him. From now i need to hurry and leave tae kyung behind because I need to take up other roles.
►I’ve heard that you’ve been receiving alot of role offers
There have been alot of scripts which have been sent to us and I’ve split them between me and my manager to read. We will slowly consider the next project. Actually I had wanted to try a romantic comedy like You’re beautiful. If a chace arises next time I want to try a romantic comedy one more time. I think a love story about an older girl and a younger guy would be great.
►►Kim Hyun Joong played StarCraft with fans!
SS501’s quirky leader Kim Hyun Joong got pwned by fans while he was playing a few rounds of Starcraft games against his fans on Battle.net.
For those of you people who haven’t heard of Starcraft, it’s an immensely popular science-fiction real time strategy video game developed by Bilzzard Entertainment. Players can choose to either play the single player version, which is a very extensive and well-written story mode, or the multi-player version, where the player can interact with and duke it out against other players by choosing one of three races (Zerg, Protoss, or Terran) to play as on Battle.net’s Starcraft server.
Starcraft was huge in Korea and there were professional gaming leagues with some professional gamers making incomes in the 6 figures. Games are routinely televised on dedicated gaming stations and as many as 120,000 fans turned out to watch a finals game in one of the leagues in 2005. The Starcraft craze has died down somewhat, but it’s still a popular game.
Anyways, back to Hyun Joong. A fan had previously written, “Oppa, please play Starcraft with us,” on SS501’s homepage. The chances of celebrities responding back to fans, especially to a request like this one, are very slim – so imagine the shock of that fan when Kim Hyun Joong responded on December 6th (around 3PM), saying, “Is there anyone who knows how to play Starcraft?”
He explained briefly that his own account for their blog had been hacked so he would be borrowing fellow SS501 memberKim Kyu Jong’s ID . Hyun Joong then proceeded to inform his fans that he had created a channel called ‘ss501’ and created a room with a 2 vs 2 map:
Translation: Who knows how to play Starcraft?/I’ll make an ID/Come in from the Asia Network, channel SS501]

►►Drama “IRIS” is accused of plagiarizing a novel
KBS’s hit spy drama IRIS has found itself entangled in plagiarism charges. On December 7, novelist Park Chul-joo filed a suit with Seoul Central District Court accusing the drama’s production company of ripping off his spy novel The Sun Doesn’t Rise on Mt. Fuji.
In his complaint, writer Park asserted that the drama takes the story, situations, and developments from his own book: “The drama IRIS heavily plagiarized my novel in over 162 instances. I have suffered severe mental distress, and I’ve also suffered financial losses, as I have had to give up the chance to produce the book as my own drama.” Included in the allegedly plagiarized points are: the threat of nuclear explosion in the middle of the city, the hero’s confrontation with the North Korean female spy, and the fact that the North Korean spy falls for the hero who treated her injuries.
According to Yonhap News, the production company refuted the claims, saying, “The plot may be similar, but it is not plagiarism.”
Often I think these plagiarism claims are cases of unfortunate coincidences — you can’t own an idea, after all. But these do sound like pretty specific points, although without having read the book, it’s hard to say…

►►G-Dragon’s concert is accused of sex scenes and violence
I have to admit the netizens are right this time…but to SUE HIM?! G-D is hardcore and the lil teenage girls who fought for his ticket must have know that already @_@
Big Bang’s G-Dragon recently held a concert for his fans at the same time to celebrate the success of his solo activity without the members. Much like other issues related with G-Dragon, this concert had raised a series of controversies that the netizens are divided on.
The 21-year-old idol star from Big Bang, G-Dragon, held his first title concert titled, “Shine A Light.” Thousands of fans around the country gathered for this special event, many of them being in their 10s and young teenage years. The fans had a great time at the concert, and even the fans across the globe who watched it through fan cameras seemed to enjoy it as well. The problem arose after the concert, when the stories and videos circulated the web.
The concert started with ‘Heartbreaker’ moved on to ‘This Love’, then ‘Hello’, then on to ‘Gossip Man.’ Everything was fine until the stage for the song ‘Breathe’ was set up. On the bed the ‘Breathe’ performance was portrayed with a female dancer known as Aimee Lucas. At one point when she had her legs around his hips, many netizens declared that the point was to clearly depict a “sex” scene. Some fans at the concert said that at one point they even heard “heavy breathing” sounds mixed in with the track. Sounds or not, the netizens are clearly making a statement that, the scene he portrayed was too much for most of the young audience present.
►►SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong revealed he met a ghost before
OMG leader…i don’t know how true this story is but he’d be hecka brave if he can live with a ghost lol
SS501’s leader Kim HyunJoong, commonly know for his 4D (fourth dimensional) personality revealed that he had a confrontation with a ghost very casually.
Kim HyunJoong revealed in the filming for ‘Strong Heart’ that he had a confrontation with a ghost suprising many of the guests present there. He explained that in the house he lived in, there always was one ghost that visited his house. He also added, “I told it to leave, but it didn’t and we eventually lived together,” shocking many of the guests and the two MCs.
He also added a story about his awkward and random high school story with honesty making the 4D image stick with him longer. These stories could be seen through the ‘Strong Heart’ this week.

►►SHINee’s Key talks about his worst mistakes when performing
I think Jong Hyun made more mistakes than Key did, no? lol but it’s cool because these can be really really embarrassing >.<
SHINee’s Key reflects on his worst stage mistakes. At the latest “Sang Sang Plus” recording, SNSD and SHINee members were featured.
Key’s first mistake comes in the second performance of “Noona Is So Pretty (Replay).” None of the members were quite used to performing in music shows yet, so they were still nervous and were very concentrated on each move.
As part of the choreography, Key had to hold Taemin’s mic for a while. After Taemin’s dance solo Key tried to give the mic back to him but was off timing. Key eventually had to hold two mics until the song ended. Taemin still managed to finish the performance pretending to hold a mic until the end of the performance.
