►►SHINee MinHo’s 2nd ideal girl is SNSD Yuri
They’re in the same company so wouldn’t that be kinda…awkward? lol
It hasn’t been that long since SHINee’s Minho broke fangirls’ hearts by going on a date with his ideal girl, Kara’s Goo Hara, on an episode of Invincible Youth.
But on a recent popularity poll taken during an episode, Minho had chosen SNSD’s Yuri as his ideal girl.
At first, he had unexpectably chosen BEG’s Narsha over Goo Hara, but at the last round, he had chosen Yuri over Narsha.
In the final round, Yuri had performed SNSD’s hit song, ‘Gee,’ while Narsha performed a hip-hop version of ‘Fly Superboard.’ Following the performances, Yuri also shared a couple dance with Minho, which Narsha ended up disturbing.
At one point, the two girls fought over Minho so bad, he commented, “I wish I can start all over again.”
Minho sure has a quick change of heart, because it wasn’t so long ago when he went on the date with his then “ideal” girl, Goo Hara.
But regardless of who his ideal girl is, Minho had Kim Tae Woo stating, “I’m going to leave this place,” leaving a sense of jealousy.

►►Kim Tae Woo, Baek Ji Young, Brown Eyed Girls, Ivy + 6 others posed for MAC Viva Glam
“The photoshoot aims to bring awareness as well as educate the public about AIDS”…I don’t know anything about that statement but the shoot is quite intense…and Brown Eyed Girls remind me of KISS (yes, the American rock band).
Brown Eyed Girls

►►Friends cheer KARA’s Nicole on her journey to attend a prestigious college
I wish her the best and much success as a veterinarian or whatever career she decide to pursue 😀 It’s cool knowing celebs care about education besides their on-stage success. Nicole fighting!
Nicole just started her journey to attend a prestigious college for the Mnet reality show, KAIST Season 3 and her celebrity friends are cheering her on all the way.
On Nicole’s minihompy, different friends of hers left encouraging video messages. Since Nicole is waiting to hear from 4 different colleges, her friends are hoping the best for her.
Kara’s Goo Hara, Kim Tae Woo, and Jewelry’s Kim Eun Jung are some of the stars that have shown lots of love and support for Nicole. (subbed videos below cut!)
Kim Eun Jung said, “I hope Nicole gets into a college.” Then she put on glasses and said, “Which is better, me with glasses or me without glasses?” Nicole started to crack up because she didn’t fully understand what Kim Eun Jung said. Then Kim Eun Jung joked, “If you can’t understand that, how can you go to college? Nicole is very good at speaking but not so good at understanding and listening. How can you study like that?”

►►Kim Tae Woo, “I like KARA’s SeungYeon even more than Nicole now”
Singer Kim Tae Woo(KTW) has revealed that he likes Seung Yeon(SY) more than his ideal type Nicole now.
During a recent recording of SBS “Star King” which airs on 11/14, KTW danced with SY cuddled in his embrace. Even though other celebrity guests told him “stop fulfilling your personal wishes on camera”, KTW displayed passionate hugs with SY with every dance move.
KTW and SY got into this situation while performing a popular form of modern Japanese dance called “union dance” which has the concept of “communication between bodies”. In “Union dance”, the basics starts with the female dancer standing on the male dancers feet, and relies on synergy between the two as the female’s feet should never touch the floor.
Due to KTW’s 190cm height, he led SY smoothly and naturally, and SY showed off her flexible wave dances as usual – resulting in a strangely pleasing peformance that reminded of Beauty and the Beast.
And even when the dance was over, KTW playfully did not let SY out of his embrace, confessing “Nicole used to be my ideal type, but now I like SY even more.”

►►SNSD’s Sunny sets a new record for destroying her old photo within seconds!
I know it’s embarrassing but it’s always fun to show people your old photos right? lol apparently, Sunny doesn’t think so.
On an October episode, Strong Heart’s very own Boom Academy had attacked four of their female guests with some very unattractive pictures. Back then, Ga-In had set the record time for destroying her past picture within seconds, but she may have a new challenger.
On an episode set to air on the 10th, SNSD’s Sunny had indirectly challenged Ga-In’s record time, as she destroyed her junior high picture within seconds. The moment happened so fast that viewers would not have been able to witness the actual picture, if it weren’t for the dedicated netizens who posted screen caps.
Along with Sunny, viewers were also able to get a glimpse of Boom Academy, Kim Tae Woo, and Kang Ho Dong’s pasts.

“I learned a lot from Taewoo-hyung keke.”
“태우형에게 배울게 많아ㅋㅋ”

Also, when Kim Tae Woo received the trophy from 2PM’s Taecyeon and Wooyoung on SBS Inkigayo October 18th, he stated “I received a text from Taecyeon last night. He said, ‘Hyung, now all that’s left is for me to give you the trohpy.'” Kim Taewoo gave a message of thanks to Taecyeon.

►►Kpop artists are wondering “Who is RUN?”
4minute, KARA, Epik High, Kim Tae Woo, IU, T-ara, 2AM, Mighty Mouth and many other celebrities are wondering who this new artist may be. Check out this mysterious video below:
As you may have guessed, RUN (런, also known as: E-Bul, Song Won-keun) is an up & coming artist from LOEN Entertainment ready to hit the Korean music scene very soon. But unlike other rookies, this guy already has his own celebrity fanbase – After School & Baek Ji Young gush about his powerful vocals, sexy & handsome appearance and great dancing skills. Park Myung Soo even goes far enough to say that this guy is “unbelievable”.
“RUN oppa is someone who that I like who has helped me in the past,” IU (a fellow artist of LOEN) expresses. Actress Kim Mi Yeon predicts, “I think you will like RUN a lot.” To the new artist, Kim Tae Hyun encourages, “I hope you go straight up like your name (I hope you do great).” The video then wraps up with the blessings & a cheer of “fighting!” from artists & celebrities all around, including Kim Yong Man Park Jung Ah (Jewelry) Kim Na Gyung, Yoo Chae Young, Oh Jong Hyuk, Kim Mi Yeon and Joo Young Hoon.
RUN already has a teaser out, and has announced that his mini-album will be titled “Face Off”. Check out the teaser:

The performances:
►►New group SHU-I takes on 2PM’s “Again & Again” & Kim Tae Woo covers SNSD
This new group did not receive as much hype as expected on their debut with the song “Bomb Bomb Bomb”…but I guess this should do something =.=;
Also, the guy who’s been receiving much love and recognition from his new song “Love Rain” is back covering SNSD’s two songs “Kissing You” and “Gee”!
►►2PM’s performance for “Dream Concert ’09” will NOT be broadcasted
First of all, this is dumb. Second, there are fan cams so either way the fans will see it =.=;
2PM, currently promoting as 6 members after leader member JaeBum left the group, will be performing on Dream Concert coming 10th October. But it was stated that their performances will be edited out from the broadcast of the concert.
A staff to the Dream Concert said, “2PM will go on stage to perform but their performances will be edited before broadcasted. They will be singing the hit songs ‘Again & Again’ and ‘I Hate You’ but by request of the production company (of Dream Concert) it will not be broadcasted.”
Dream Concert will take place on 10th October in Seoul World Cup Stadium from 6.30pm. The MCs for the night will be Kim HeeChul and Song JiHyo.
Performing artistes are Big Bang, Super Junior, So Nyeo Shi Dae, 2PM, SHINee, Jewelry, 2NE1, 4Minute, ChaeYeon, WheeSung, MC Mong, Park HyoShin, KARA, T-ara, f(x), Kim TaeWoo etc – a total of 16 performing teams.
2PM performed on stage for the first time on 25th September for ‘2009 Super Model Contest’ after deciding to promote as 6 members after JaeBum left the group. But back then, only 2 members performed and their performances were not broadcasted on TV.
And even though their Dream Concert performance will be a longawaited performance for fans to see the members on stage again, when it is aired on 11th October at 4.10pm, their performances will not be broadcasted.
