►►[SCANs] T-ara’s “Temptastic” album jacket + Failed dress regulations
Self-explanatory.
News bit from Diadem: On the 5th, T-ara fails dress regulations of SBS’s Inkigayo.
At 11AM, T-ara finished filming for their performance ‘YaYaYa’ and went straight to lunch after. However, for their ‘Why Are You Like This’ performance, the girls’ outfits had to be changed.
The same thing happened in KBS2TV’s Music Bank on the third. Where the girls’ shorts had to be changed to double-layered stockings because it failed the dress regulations.
Their crew had to rush out again, to a market to get each girl a pair of leggings an hour before the show was to begin.
Finally, an official said that “The dress codes for girl groups have become more strict than before”.

►►[Interview] Chansung tells KOOL, “Giving a woman a score looks so 2PM-ish”
…Chansung has my favorite line out of 2PM’s interview for KOOL Magazine in Japan. XD
2PM, the group which attracted Korean people with their overwhelming performance, finally arrives in Japan. Finally, they make a debut in Japan with their 1st DVD “Hottest～2PM 1st MUSIC VIDEO COLLECTION & The History～”.
The DVD includes music videos of their Korean debut song “10 Out of 10” as well as many hits which ranked high in the music chart. We can call it the greatest hits DVD, considering the fact that it summarizes their 2-year activities in Korea.
Q. 2PM is called the “beastly idol”. What’s the appeal point of the group?
Junsu: In a word, I think 2PM is a performance group.

►►[SCANs] Changmin creates a Tokyo Love Story in ELLE Girl December 2010
DBSK’s Max Changmin recently had a photoshoot for the December 2010 issue ELLE Girl. He also did a short interview talking mostly about, of course, girls.
A gentle love, and a Tokyo love story.
In regards to an invitation to a date, he’s more okay with it! From what he had said to us, he likes to play pool. At first we were just talking about how the scene would be like, but he became more serious over time. This is the first time we’ve seen this expression ❤
If I’m asked out by a girl for a date suddenly, I would feel so rejuvenated! I wouldn’t know how to react and my heart would beat crazily. Personally, I would want to give the person I like a meaningful surprise date. But in reality, there is not enough time for me to prepare for one due to work… There will be a day♪

2PM’s Nichkhun once again go on solo advertising for the new “Merry Icemas” CF campaign of Baskin Robbins. Although Baskin Robbins is an American ice-cream brand, I have no idea how the Korean managers made “Christmas” into “Icemas” (does that even makes sense? or even a pun?) but ummm, you got both the ice cream cakes and Nichkhun, so that’s sweet enough. 🙂
