…kinda.

SM Entertainment creator, Lee Soo-man resigned from his position as Director of Registration.

What does that mean? Nothing. Lee Soo-man will still be in SM Entertainment, but is stepping away from the business side to focus on the producing side.

This may have something to do with all the lawsuits artists (Super Junior’sHankyung, Dong-bank-shin-ki’s Jae-joong, Yoo-shun, and Jun-su) are bringing against the company, or maybe the big man really wants to get his hands back into the heart of his company.

SM Entertainment produces Girls Generation, Super Junior, Dong-bang-shin-ki, BoA, f(x), SHINee, etc.

The day we’ve all been waiting for is here!

Figure skater, Kim Yuna set foot at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and is ranked no.1 in the ladies short program!

There is an incredible amount of pressure on her as she carries the weight of the entire nation on her shoulders to win the gold medal. I’m surprised she hasn’t cracked under pressure yet!

Yuna was the 23rd skater to perforn, and just before her was Japanese figure skater Asada Mao, who is constantly overshadowed by Yuna as well as being her biggest rival. Asada Mao had a short moment of victory by being ranked no.1 for a few minutes with her impressive score of 73.78, but Yuna kept her steady composure which lead her to receive a score of 78.50, and another new world record!

MBLAQ shows off their dance skills on Idol Army

Published February 25, 2010 mblaq 13 Comments

MBLAQ’s Idol Army is always entertaining and this week didn’t fail to disappoint!

This week’s featured guests included Jewelry members Kim Eun Jung andHa Joo Yeon, as well as Hong Jin Young and IU.

The boys performed various dances that were highly entertaining, and GOis so cute! I always thought he looked like a younger/better version of Rain/Bi, and apparently I’m not the only one who thinks so.

Check it out:

Go dancing to Rain’s “How to Avoid the Sun”

Not to mention, he’ll be in the new Jackie Chan film, “Junior Soldiers.”

In an interview, the former Korean singer and rapper Steve Yoo (Yoo Seung-joo), discussed his comeback to Korea and wanted to convey his feelings since he was deported from Korea in 2002. He also especially shared his feelings on 2PM former-leader Jaebum and his anti-fueled flight from Korea.

Steve Yoo expressed about Jaebum’s situation, “At first, my heart really ached for him. With such an occurrence in that friend’s life, I was worried about how he could go on after that. I don’t know if any good will come from me saying this, but I don’t want him to suffer from this mistake of adolescence. If given the chance, couldn’t he grow into a much larger success?”

Steve Yoo gained popularity in Korea from 1997 to 2002, but he was deported from Korea after refusing to complete his mandatory military service, after he suddenly gained American citizenship in 2002, just before he was drafted. Steve Yoo lived in the United States from when he was 13 years old until he was scouted by Brothers Entertainment and debuted as a singer.

After promising to enter the military and then refusing after gaining American citizenship, the singer was deported and banned from returning to Korea. Now, signed onto Jackie Chan’s entertainment company as an actor, after releasing albums in China. He is again entering the Korean entertainment realm under this Hong Kong martial arts film. Obviously, he’s no longer banned.

In the interview, he also told his fans to await his official comeback in Korea.

Obviously, of all the people, this famously deported singer would feel especially close to the ex-2PM member.

Anyway, good luck to Steve Yoo and Jackie Chan’s “Junior Soldiers” project.

“Boys Over Flowers” heroine, author, and director Goo Hye-sun has been invited to the Yubari Fantastic Film Festival in Japan for her short film “The Madonna” (유쾌한 도우미, literally “The Cheerful Caretaker”).

For this year, the film is under “Yubari Choice: Korean Film.” The film festival will run from February 25th to March 1st at Hotel Shuparo in Yubari City. Goo Hye-sun will be Japan from the beginning of the festival until March 5th.

“The Madonna” has gained quite a number of favorable reviews and has been invited to a number of other film festivals, including the Pusan International Film Festival, the Bucheon International Film Festival, the Asiana International Short Film Festival, and the 3rd China Mobile Film Festival.

As her directing debut, Goo Hye-sun is off to a good start with “The Madonna,” a short film about a priest and nun who do mercy killings for those seeking salvation.

You can see the official film festival website here: http://yubarifanta.com/

Goo Hye-sun is also currently working on the full-length film “Magic.”

Good luck to fresh director and her future endeavours!

Former girl group S.E.S member Shoo released her wedding photos. She also has a bun in the oven.

In Korea, wedding (engagement) photos are an excuse to do magazine-like photo spreads of you and your future spouse in a variety of wedding outfits. Sounds like fun, right?

Shoo will be marrying Korean professional basketball player Lim Hyo-sung. The S.E.S cutie dated the basketball pro for 2 years and they will be tying the knot on April 11th. Shoo is also currently pregnant.

After a long hiatus, Shoo released a mini-album in January of this year called, “Devote One’s Love” with the title single, “Only You.”

Congrats to the happy couple and future parents!

this time it’s VOGUE in the vase!

Thank god she has a enviable body.Girl needs emotions on the face.

Posing for Vogue Korea’s March issue, Uee showed mere mortals(us) how to make sports equipments trendy. The day we see her non-apathetic look, is the day we gallop into Starbucks and buy ourselves the most expensive item on the menu! Check out the photos below!

Hyo-min’s rocking those shades!

They look good as usual, but is this an album photoshoot or accesorise campaign? The hand models girls covered their faces in most shots which, is quite a pity. We have to say So-yeon looks better with long hair. Bo-ram has to work on her ‘evil seduction’ because we think she still doesn’t exude any sex appeal. Or maybe she’ll surprise us during their comeback?

Their repackaged album title has been amended, it’s now ‘Breaking heart’as opposed to the previous title, ‘Braking Heart’. According to their website, it was a typo error. We are tremendously looking forward to their comeback. With a hot track like ‘I go crazy because of you’, who wouldn’t? Check out the photos below.

Big Bang and 2NE1 both released a quick video message for fans in English, via YG Entertainment’s official YouTube.

Both video messages are short and simple, and each group encourages viewers to subscribe to YG’s channel to keep tuning in to their music.

The subtitles are in English and Japanese, but being as it is they are speaking in English, international fans everywhere can enjoy their message!

The pilot episode of the upcoming drama “Cinderella’s Sister” is a month away, and with many top actors involved we are most exited for 2PM’s Taecyeon!

Fans are exited to see Taecyeon’s acting skills, and these pictures make us more anxious to see him on the screen!

The new actor received many compliments from the staff of the drama, and he gets to work with the lovely Moon Geun Young, who Taecyeon’s character ends up falling in love with.

Perhaps there will be a kiss scene?

Not only are fans showing support, 2PM members are showing their support as well by visiting Taecyeon on the set to cheer him on during filming!

The drama will premiere on March 31st. Can’t wait!
