[POP polls] Who do you want as your English teacher?

1/ Yoochun (DBSK) 2/ Jaebum (ex-2PM)

3/ Tiffany (SNSD) 4/ Nicole (KARA)

5/ Nichkhun (2PM) 6/ Kibum (Super Junior)

7/ Tablo (Epik High) 8/Rain

So you need to brush up on your English skills and are looking for a new teacher. Who would you choose? A Stanford English Lit Masters degree (7/Tablo of Epik High) seems like the obvious choice. But if that’s too much, then you can choose a cutie from Thailand and the noona’s favorite (5/Nichkhun, 2PM), the too cool for Korea ex-member of 2PM (2/Jaebum), the awkward Engrish (remember “controlling my mind and menu …”) of pop act Rain or girl group members, Tiffany of Girls Generation and Nicole ofKARA. If that’s too much, there is always Yoochun (Dong-bang-shin-ki) or Kibum (Super Junior).

You decide.

Your dream English teacher is...

[POPselca] Secret Goes to the Army

Secret’s firecracker rapper Zinger, posted some interesting selca shots of her and Secret leader Hyo-sung in army fatigues and pigtales on her Cyworld mini-homepage. These selcas have fans wondering, what’s this all for?

Obviously, the two took a short trip to visit the boys in green. Sporting new hairstyles, the talented two (of four) found some time to goof off in front of the camera, creating some happy selca gems. But, what’s with Hyo-sung’s super yellow hair?

Selca tip: The selca doesn’t have to be complicated. Put on that make-up and smile.

On the 1st, Secret released the mini-album “Secret Time” and the music video for “Magic.”

Clazziquai’s Horan Puts on an Act

Clazziquai’s pretty girl Horan is following in Alex’s (Pasta) footsteps, as she will be appearing in the upcoming KBS drama “Call of the Country” (국가가 부른다).

The drama is a romantic comedy starring Kim Sang-kyung as a National Intelligence Service (NIS) officer, and Lee Su-kyung as an unpredictable police officer and Kang Sang-kyung’s main love interest. Ryu Jin plays the main bad guy, as a rich kid who loses his father’s inheritance so he turns to a life of crime.

Horan will be playing an NIS officer, Choi Eun-seo, whose image is the “perfectly perfect woman.”

Multi-talented Horan is adding actress to her long list of occupations, which includes singer, broadcast MC, radio DJ, and essayist. She should fit this role nicely.

On her new acting endeavor, Horan commented, “My heart is fluttering over this new challenge. It is an honor to work with Kim Sang-kyung, Lee Su-kyung, and Ryu Jin, and the other actors [in this drama]. I will learn a lot of things and do my best in portraying ‘Choi Eun-seo.’”

“Call of the Country” will take over the Mondays and Tuesdays 9pm time slot on April 26th, after the end of “The Birth of the Rich.”

JYPE brings on “noise” marketing for 2PM

And you didn’t hear it from us.

Apparently, JYP Entertainment, has started to use ‘noise marketing” for boy group, 2pm. In case you don’t know, the term “noise marketing” refers to the use of scandals to generate buzz. Already, there is buzz among fans that some parts of the new album has been leaked at the 2pm fansite on Daum. The fansite on Daum is asking everyone not to pay attention to the apparent noise.

In regards to the rumors on the leaked album, JYPE is demanding to sue the culprit.

So is this just “noise” by JYPE? Whatever the case, JYPE is getting what they want – buzz.

Here is the translation to the lyrics of what was supposedly leaked:
The rap is from Chansung and the sing part is from either Taecyeon or Junho

(ENG) So sorry girl. I’m so sorry girl, it’s something I don’t know~
Come back to me girl, just one more time
I will, make me try, just give me a chance, come on, let’s go

As I look at you turning away from me
I hoped that you could’ve blocked the wind for me, but as you go further away, without even knowing my heart

I’m so upset, all I do is drink, the only thing I can think of is you
How is she doing, does she even think of me?
All I want is to see her just once

I’m so sorry girl, just something I don’t know, come back to me girl, just one more time
I will, make me try, just give me a chance, come on baby, let’s go
Let’s go, it’s over

(RAP) You say you don’t know my pain and you keep walking away
I admit my mistake but you just leave me like so
What do you want me to do? I don’t think I can do anything
I can’t live, it’s so hard, I can’t walk on like this
Baby baby baby girl, come on back
I thought that you’d call at least once

I just miss you, maybe we’ll meet again someday
When I’m waiting for you, I’ll never see anyone else, Let’s get back together

MC Mong gets stalled in the desert

MC Mong and Leessang had a press conference scheduled for this afternoon at the Oxford Hotel in Los Angeles, CA for their concert “Seoulful”. Unfortunately due to car troubles MC Mong got stuck on his way to the hotel from Palm Springs after a photoshoot, while Leessang members, Gary and Gil had their own problems with delayed flights and other shooting schedules such as MBC’s “Infinity Challenge” respectively.

Although we could not interview them today, we found out other good news for you West Coasters. Entitled’s Managing partner David Kwon sat down with us and gave us a brief teaser of the other concerts that are coming up this year and answered the ever present question why Jay Sean.

P.S. Why Jay Sean for a concert that is called “SEOUL-ful Concert?”
DK: Originally we had MC Mong and Tiger JK locked but what happened is Tiger JK had a contract going with an American production company so they’re now working on an album. So instead they gave us Lessang. We felt that they wouldn’t be a big enough pull. So we decided to do something different where East meets West [for the first time] and this is just the beginning. We have four more concerts coming up, including a potential one for Kim Jong Kook, Mighty Mouth, and [some American artist] and three other ones for [sometime at the end of the year]. [Thus] we felt like given MC Mong’s crowd (25-35) and Leessang’s crowd (35-40) we wanted to bring in the younger crowd as well and thus given Jay Sean’s popularity now we invited him.

P.S.: Do you think this will help Korean artists break into the market?
DK: We feel there is a growing trend in the Korean American community. With Rain’s breakthrough, we’re trying to help more artists come here and perform and showcase a live performance to their fans. [And because] right now a lot of Korean artists are wanting to come to the States and [because] nobody has been helping them out we now have direct relationships with both Korean artists and American artists who actually want to work together.

Looks like it’s going to be an eventful year for Korean and American artists. Stay tuned for concert coverage. We’ll be tweeting live on Twitter and if you haven’t joined our fanpage on Facebook yet do it! We’ll be giving away more prizes there.
