►►2AM’s SeulOng and Changmin are bipolar with women
On a recent broadcast of ‘Happy Together‘, 2AM members and Jeon Hyun Moo were asked, ‘Which 2AM member is the most different in front of girls?’ After the voting ended, Seulong received 3 votes and Changmin received 2 votes.
Jo Kwon expressed, ‘Even though Seulong is usually an attentive person, in front of girls, the look in his eyes is different. In particular, his eye-smile is very charming.‘ To demonstrate what Jo Kwon meant, Seulong showed off his eye-smile and captured the hearts of the audience.
On the other hand, Seulong voted for Changmin. Seulong revealed that Changmin is a ‘lacking man’ in front of girls. He said, ‘Changmin is very cold to girls, which makes them feel like it’s the first time they’ve been treated like this by a man.‘
Changmin objected, “After Seulong and IU sang a duet together, he doesn’t refer to her by her stage name anymore, but calls her ‘Ji Eun-ah‘,” revisiting the point that Seulong has a way with women.

Celebs usually change their real name for a stage name when they first become entertainers…but it’s a little different with BEAST’ rapper Yong JungHyung.
The original name of the BEAST member Yong Junhyung is becoming a hot topic among the netizens.
In ‘Saebwaki’ that will be broadcasted on the 4th, Yong Junhyung had revealed his dilemma that he faced with his name ‘Yong Jaesoon’. Yong Junhyung stated, “I didn’t even tell my members because I was embarrassed, but I received a lot of stress from it. During 6th grade, I ended up changing my name.”

►►[VID + PICs] SISTAR – banned “How Dare You” MV + Concept photos
SISTAR‘s comeback is a little too sexy for anyone to handle. Major broadcasting station, KBS had previously rejected the lyrics for their comeback track “How Dare You” because of its lyrics were too “demeaning”.
And now to make matters worse, the group’s MV has been indefinitely banned for its use of a stripper pole, despite the fact that the representative of SISTAR came forth on November 22nd and stated, “The pole dancing concept isn’t the group’s core concept, it’s just for the music video. There will be nothing provocative. The concept was used in the music video to express the healthy images of the members.” Check it out below…if you dare.
Meanwhile, they’ll be making a comeback on December 3rd.
