( Collapse )

MBC 'Sunday Sunday Night' that aired on the 21st got a 5.7% viewers rating of the whole nation, forcing it to be last place. However, the first corner 'Danbi' beat 'Family Outing'. AGB Nielsen media's results from the real time investigation on viewers ratings stated that 'Danbi' received a record of 13~14% viewers ratings while 'Family Outing' was 1~2% behind.

That day on 'Danbi', Nichkhun and Song Ji Hyo made appearances as guests and went to a village in the Phillipines where they had a good time with the natives and presented a lot of laughter. In the past they have focused on touching people's hearts and had left out a lof of the entertainment aspects, but on this day they made the viewers burst out laughing and received a good review.

New girl group, Foxy, was expected to grab attention due to Han Jang Hee, the 2006 World Cup girl, being one of the members. Unfortunately, one of Korea’s largest broadcasting channel, SBS, has banned their music video for their song Why Are You Doing This To Me.

Things are looking worse, as the other two main brodcasting channels, KBS and MBC, have also banned their music video from airing on their channels as well.

The music video showed a lot of skinship and promoted sexual relationships with men and women. It was decided by the censorship department of all 3 tv stations that the music video was over-the-top and very inappropriate.

Foxy’s company, MC Entertainment stated, “The decision for Foxy’s music video being banned on free to air television stations was a big blow to us. We are thinking of editing the video and hoping for it to be accepted on TV. The music video for their World Cup Song, which will be released in May, will not have this problem.”

Let’s hope that things will look better for them in the future!

Having been free agents since their departure in January as members of Jewelry, it was announced that Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young have chosen loyalty over money and will be staying on with Star Empire to continue their solo career.

A Star Empire representative expressed on the 23rd, “Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young may have made the decision to leave Jewelry but they have decided to stay on with the family to continue their solo activities.”

Since becoming free agents in January, Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young have been linked with many other companies who promised more money than what Star Empire offered them. But the long years spent with Star Empire and the warmth treatment accorded to them by the company, left them to make the easy choice of staying to show their gratitude and loyalty.

The representative concluded, “Both of them will have busy schedules lined up in the rest of the year. Park Jung Ah will be involved with filming (Prosecutor Princess) for now and she will also continue singing. Seo In Young will meanwhile be concentrating her efforts on singing. Please continue to show them support.”

Wow. Warm treatment from a company?
I never thought I'd see that phrase in Kpop.

Also, I want another solo Park Jung Ah album so badly!

South Korea has awarded citizenship to an Ethiopian refugee - the first such move in the country's history, says the UN's refugee agency.

The UN's Melissa Fleming called it a "highly significant milestone" in East and South East Asia - where few nations have signed the UN refugee convention.

She urged other Asian countries to follow South Korea's lead.

The 38-year-old Ethiopian fled persecution in his home country in 2001 and was given citizenship last week.

Ms Fleming said South Korea had signed the refugee convention in 1994, and had so far accepted 175 claims of refugee status and given humanitarian assistance.

The country also houses thousands of refugees from North Korea, but the UN says North Koreans have a different status and are automatically considered to be South Korean citizens.

Baseball player-turned-TV personality Kang Byung-kyu, who was indicted last week for defamation and attempted blackmail against top Korean actor Lee Byung-hun, has countersued the Hallyu star on charges of defamation.

The former athlete held a press conference at Seocho Art Hall in Seoul on Wednesday, announcing he had filed a suit against Lee Byung-hun after being "wrongly accused" of his involvement in a feud between the actor and his ex-girlfriend identified by her last name Kwon.

A legal dispute between the former couple had fired up when Kwon lodged a complaint to court saying she was allured into having a sexual relationship with the actor on his false promises of marriage and demanded she be compensated for physical and psychological damage.

The two parties on Tuesday convened at the Gangnam Police Station for a questioning session held in response to a civil suit filed by Kang's current management firm S Plus Entertainment against Jambo on charges of embezzlement and document forgery.

S Plus had pressed the charges following Jambo's claim that Kang had breached his exclusive contract with them, valid until August this year, to sign with S Plus whom Kang joined in early January.

With a dongsaeng who is walking down the same path as her, and dreaming the same dream as her, she is not alone in her celebrity life.

Sandara Park’s youngest brother is Cheondoong of MBLAQ. Although he overflows with charisma on stage, to Sandara Park, he’ll always be like a little kid.

“Cheondoong and I are six years apart. Starting from when he was young I’d carry him on my back and stuff and I always worried about him. Even still, when I see him perform on stage, it’s admirable. Isn’t he cute when he shows off his personal talents on variety shows?”

‘World Star’ Rain (28) will be having his comeback. After his 5th album ‘Rainisim’ released in October 2008, it will be his singer comeback after 18 months.

And the comeback code will be sexy this time. He will put a stop with all the idols advocating concepts like ‘beastly-dol’ or ’sexy-dol’. Ahead of the comback, we have already seen the teaser video released on 23rd March. In the teaser, we can see Rain showing off his masculinity in the new concept.

The transformation in his style is also radical. He had shoulder-length wavy locks and fake eyelashes attached to his lower eye lashes. A JTune Ent rep said, “It will go with the music style. We have not revealed the most shocking features yet.”

This will be his 2nd album after he left JYP Entertainment and set up his own music label. And this time the album will be titled ‘Back To The Basic’ which means going back to the beginning.

There will be 5 songs in the special album. And Rain has also participated in the producing, song lyrics and composing for the whole song for more than half of the album. This is yet another chance we see Rain showing his producing capabilities after his previous works like his recollection album and MBLAQ’s debut album.

The title song to the album will be ‘널 붙잡을 노래 (The song that will capture you)’ but the genre to the song has yet been decided. We get to hear a snippet to the song through the teaser video released.

The response to the album is also heating up. With the release of the teaser video, there were over 100K views to the video in less than 12 hours .

Rain will make his comeback on KBS Music Bank on 2nd April.

He jokingly said, “The reason for this photo is to use it when Leeteuk ignores me in the future.”

Shindong added ” When we first started taking photos, he was saying “what are you doing” with a rejecting face but after taking more shots of each other, he even started posing happily.”

After constantly pushing back her comeback date, Korean sex icon Lee Hyori announced earlier this month that she had finally finished recording her album. It was then reported that her title track had been confirmed and that her comeback would be in April. We’re now glad to report that the sexy superstar will be officially returning to the k-pop scene on April 2nd!

Lee Hyori’s 4th album has been in the works for a long time and has been highly anticipated for almost half a year now. The identity of the title track and concept still remains a mystery, but it’s only a matter of time before we start receiving small teasers for next week’s release. Let’s also not forget that Lee Hyori also collaborated with 4minute’s Jiyoon and After School’s Bekah in a powerful hip-hop track that will be part of this album.

No doubt this comeback has been a greatness in the making. 2009 was a time for idol groups to make their big debuts, but 2010 is definitely going to be the solo artists’ time to steal the spotlight. And with Rain making a comeback a few days before Lee Hyori, it looks like Korea’s hottest male and female will be battling it out for the #1 spot!

Last week, we revealed the news of MBLAQ’s upcoming comeback in April. In the midst of preparations for their comeback, the five-member boy band was seen sporting new hairstyles, which, we speculated, were for their new image.

G.O, who has had a mustache and a goatee since MBLAQ’s debut, confessed that he would shave his facial hair in time for the group’s impending comeback. We were able to see a photoshopped image of his face without facial hair, but now we’ve got the real deal.

On March 24th, the quintet appeared as the guests of Park Kyung Lim’s Starry Night Radio. Through footage of the boys’ visit, we found that G.O. is clean-shaven! Although the quality of the video isn’t that great, we can catch a glimpse of G.O. dressed in his hoodie and a cap, with no facial hair. Check it out below at around 1:17.
