OMONA THEY DIDN'T! Endless charms, endless possibilities ♥

On a recent taping of the variety show Happy Together, it was revealed that the Queen of Kpop Lee Hyori is actually an idol dating gossip junkie.  KARA's Hara told everyone that once Hyori called her to find out which of your favorite Kpop idols were dating undercover.  To this Hyori admitted that she was into the secret world of idol dating since her own idol heyday as a member of Fin.K.L.

Hyori admitted during the show, who is hosted by her 'brother' Yoo Jae Suk, that she secretly had two cell phones during her Fin.K.L days.  One cell phone her management company knew about and the other they didn't.  With her 'secret' cell phone she would gossip with other idols about who was dating.  Being a sunbae and being as busy as she is, she's not as 'into' the current idol gossip as she would want and therefore calls up some of her close hoobaes to get the latest scoop.

Being able to personally appreciate the dating conundrum of idols, Hyori even offered the following, "If any idol members want to secretly date, I'll offer them my house to use."  Hyori has always been kind of a rebel and has done what she wanted, I'm sure a lot of her hoobaes thinks she's the coolest of sunbaes.  Of course now, Hyori's house is probably totally on the 'off limits' list of all the entertainment companies making her 'Idol Love Nest' over before it was ever started.

This episode of Happy Together on which Rain was also a guest, airs in Korea at 11:00 pm on Thursday, May 13th.

Korean films "The Housemaid" and "Poetry" are receiving heaps of attention from foreign movie buyers at the 63rd Cannes Film Festival, according to their sales executives on Wednesday (France time).

Officials in charge of overseas sales for the two pics explained that many foreign distributors are interested in buying "Housemaid" and "Poetry" and some are even close to signing contracts.

"The film festival hasn't started yet so we haven't yet exchanged offers in detail," a source related to "Housemaid" was quoted as saying. "But we are expecting to receive many more offers after the screening."

A representative for "Poetry" also said that he predicts a number of overseas sales offers to come their way since it was helmed by noted filmmaker Lee Chang-dong.

The 55-year-old director gained international acclaim particularly after his previous film "Secret Sunshine" won the best actress award at Cannes in 2007.

"Poetry," which will be released in France in August, stars veteran Korean actress Yoon Jeong-hee as an elderly woman who learns how to write her own poems while fighting Alzheimer's.

Erotic thriller "Housemaid" is a remake of a Korean classic film by the late Korean director Kim Ki-young, whose works are legendary enough to be introduced in the Cannes Classics section. The modern adaptation, directed by Im Sang-soo, boasts an A-list line up including Cannes' best actress winner Jeon Do-youn.

The directors and lead actors for the two pics, both competition this year, are reportedly getting interview requests from numerous foreign media outlets.

The film festival will run from May 12 thru 23.

Korean entertainment entrepreneur Lee Soo-man [SME's biggest shareholder] of SM Entertainment

SM Entertainment (SM) -- considered one of the top three talent agencies in Korea alongside YG and JYP Entertainment -- saw its most successful first quarter this year, recording the biggest profit the company has ever seen.

According to a press release issued by SM on Thursday, the agency recorded operating profits of 10.4 billion won from January to March this year, up an astounding 471 percent from the same period last year when the total operating profit for the entire year had been 9.3 billion won.

SM's total sales during Q1 was also reported at 22.7 billion won, indicating a growth of about 58 percent for the company.

The increase can be attributable to the success of many of its artists including idol groups Super Junior, SHINee, f(x) and Girls' Generation. With SM-trained pop groups gaining more popularity throughout Asia, the agency is raking in more profits from the their album sales, overseas activities and royalty fees.

SM said that it is expecting the second quarter to be equally successful business-wise since its singers are scheduled to release new records and hold concerts in Asia. In addition, the company is preparing to put out various digital content products such as a digital album for smart phones.

Founded in 1995 by former singer Lee Soo-man, SM quickly became one of the most influential talent agencies in Korea. Lee, who stepped down from SM's board of directors in February, has created and masterminded the successful careers of numerous K-pop artists including BoA, Fly To The Sky, H.O.T. and TVXQ.

SM also manages many songwriters, music producers, comedians and actors including Ara, Choi Jung-yoon and Lee Yeon-hee.

The girls have been enjoying their return to the music scene with the first mini-album "NU ABO" which has topped numerous online and offline charts with their title track of the same name since going on sale last Monday.

"Confession" by duo Hot Potato made an astonishing 22-spot jump from the previous week to round out the top three singles.

Meanwhile, veteran singer Lee Seung-chul's special "25th Anniversary" record took the top honors on Gaon's weekly albums chart during the second week of May.

From Shindong's 'BONAMANA' Thank You notes:

B2B8,B4B9,B3A8,
,B3C6,B4B9,
,A4A7B4,B5B6B2,B5B8,A2B8,
,C3B7B3,B5B6B2,B5B8,B2C7B2,A4B7,B3A8,
,A5B8,B4B8B3,B5A9,A2C6B4,A4A10,
,B3A7B3,B3C6B7B2,B5B9,

The code can be understood with this

A is the 1st row (Q,W,E.R....)
B is the 2nd row (A,S,D,F...)
C is the 3rd row (Z,X,C.V...)
the number next to the letter is the key in that row (from the left to right)

and you end up with something in Korean:

나,리,야
우,리,
결,혼,하,자,
청,혼,하,는,거,야,
사,랑,해,줄,게,
영,원,히,


Which is translated to:

nari,
let's get married,
this is a proposal,
i'll love you,
forever

Again, we do not know what this can mean, if it's a real proposal or a joke. Please wait for any kind of confirmation from Shindong himself.

As the news broke that 1 – 2 members would be leaving Invincible Youth earlier this week, there were mounting speculation among fans that SNSD’s Yuri and Sunny were the likely ones to be leaving the show.

And it looks like they were right.

A production staff confirmed the news on the 14th, “Yuri and Sunny will be leaving the show in June. The reasons being that they are entering the Japanese market and also need to prepare for their Asia concert tour.”

He added, “We are still currently auditioning among girl group members to take over their spots in the show.” As for the newest speculation among fans that Secret’s Sunhwa would be leaving too, he said, “There’s no truth in that.”

They only recently celebrated Kim Tae Woo’s birthday. So sad it’s breaking up.

Before anyone laments on the lack of pink subs there may be afterwards, KBS world airs this show, thus there are other English subs available. Personally I DL them here and they release faster than SSF anyway.

lol, how mean @ comment regarding Sunhwa. Anyway we all pretty much saw this coming, but regardless I'll miss these two ace members. Good luck to their Japanese activities & Asia tour! Don't be afraid to make a pit stop in America, too.
Also, word on the street is that an f(x) member might come onto the show. But that's just what I heard on Twittuh.
