4minute's Nam JiHyun expressed her greed for a makeup commercial. She surprisingly confessed, "Everyone in 4minute is a '90er. It would be nice if I had the opportunity to brag about my soft face."

On the broadcast of SBS's 'Bae KiWan Choi YoungAh Jo HyungKi's Good Morning' that was aired on June 13th, 4minute's greed for commercials was revealed. Among them, Nam JiHyun chose a makeup commercial.

At this, the members confessed that Nam JiHyun was a no-makeup beauty. Nan JiHyun said, "I ask for an opportunity to show it," and "Please give me many calls," as she gave a big laugh.

In the meantime, Heo GaYon chose a phone CF, Jeon JiYoon chose a car CF, Kim HyunAh chose a CF for pants, and Kwon SoHyun chose a home appliances CF, each with a meaning behind them.

Gekidan Hitori wishes KARA good luck at handshake event celebrating the group's Japan debut

On August 14, the Korean five-member girl group KARA held their largest handshake event so far at Shinkiba Studio Coast, Tokyo. 20 minutes before the event Gekidan Hitori who confessed to being a huge KARA fan and has been been spreading the word about the girls' charm in Japan, appeared as a fan and wished them the best of luck with their debut in Japan.

KARA are currently enjoying such tremendous popularity that when they held a live event to commemorate their debut in Japan in front of Shibuya 109 on August 11, the crowd literally flooded the streets and the event had to be brought to a halt after just three minutes. Looking back on that day Seungyeon (22) tells us in Japanese, still deeply impressed, "So many people came, much more than we could have hoped for. We were happy when some newspapers and TV stations, and even the Korean news covered the event." "I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the pictures of Shibuya. I really want to keep on giving my best," Nicole (18) said with determination.

The aforementioned event was held for buyers of KARA's Japanese debut single "Mister" (released on August 11). The live hall can hold up to about 2,400 people, so arrangements were made to hold the same event twice. Long lines of young fans formed because it's summer holiday season in Japan.

Other sources report that the mini live and handshake event went on for about 5 hours because they had to do everything twice. Gekidan Hitori was also seen wearing a "I ♥ KARA" T-shirt.

Earlier this week we reported that 2PM’s new dorm would be revealed through the SBS HahaMong Show.

On August 15th, Haha and MC Mong raided 2PM’s new dorm for the HahaMong Show corner, Mother’s Favor.

The beastly idols were caught off-guard, in their natural habitats. From Chansung and Wooyoung who were found sleeping in the living room, to Nichkhun who looked like a sleeping angel, and the wild Taecyeon, the temporary mothers Haha and MC Mong went around to wake each of the 2PM members and helped them wash up.

In particular, 2PM’s half-awake attempt to dance to their hit songs Again & Again and Heartbeat brought about much laugher.

The HahaMong mothers prepared a special summer camp for the 2PM members who were too busy this summer to have any summer vacation. At the camp site, the HahaMong mothers prepared dinner for 2PM as they shared stories about their families.

ZE:A's Dongjun is gaining tremendous popularity among Thais transgenders.

Dongjun said, "We've returned from promotion in Thailand. If I were to say the differences between Thais and Korean fans, there are many transgender fans there." "They are so pretty and very girlish. They called me 'Oppa', then they told me they are transgenders" he added, smiling.

On the other hand, he revealed "There is this Chinese fan boy, he sends me a frog as a present everyday." "Of course they are not living frogs but they are pens, spoons and other things, all frog-shaped. He sends it everyday", he conveyed. "Of course I'm thankful because he thinks of me, but receiving a frog everyday makes me curious what's the meaning behind those presents."

ZE:A is in the middle of promoting their song 'Bad talk sad' and 'Kkap Kwanghee' Hwang Kwanghee are topping the entertainment lists.

After just finishing a guest spot on I Am Legend, indie band Bye Bye Sea [안녕바다] has been cast in the upcoming drama Playful Kiss, where they will play classmates to Jung So-min and Lee Tae-sung’s characters in the third-rate class full of delinquents.

Playful Kiss director Hwang In-roi was working on the music selection for the drama, when an acquaintance introduced him to Bye Bye Sea. He met with them and loved their unique tone and energy so much that he cast them on the spot.

Bye Bye Sea has inhabited the indie scene for a few years, but popped onto people’s radars with the release of their first mini album in December of last year. They played a great band-in-training on SBS’s I Am Legend, but this time they’ll get to stretch their acting abilities, playing something other than a version of their own band.

Members Namu (vocal, guitar), Joon-hyuk (drums), Myung-jae (bass), and Dae-hyun (programming, keyboard) will hopefully get to have some fun and give some attitude as the slacker contingent in the high school’s last-place classroom.

The unorthodox method of casting turned a lot of heads in the industry, but once the guys got on set for the poster shoot and the drama, everyone praised Director Hwang for finding such untainted actors with fresh charm. Here’s hoping that Hwang’s deft hand as a director can mold ALL of the cast, and that he makes good use of quirky side characters like these.

Production is full steam ahead on the drama, and it airs September 1 on MBC.

He had left the girls speechless with that statement.

He continued, “I did a background check on Nine Muses. There are 9 members but I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere. Aren’t they the knockoffs of the Chinese version of SNSD? The knockoff SNSD who copied the Chinese-version of SNSD who copied SNSD.”

He again continued, “I heard that Park Jin Young gave you your debut song, but do you think he gave you all a good song? He probably gave you the leftover after giving all the good ones to his company artists.”

Remember the hit drama Cinderella’s Sister from several months back? Well, it appears as if the kiss scene between actor Chun Jung Myung and actress Moon Geun Young is still a hot issue!

On a recent broadcast of KBS 2TV’s Entertainment Tonight, Chun Jung Myung dished out all the behind-the-scenes goodies on his kiss scene with the nation’s little sister actress. In an interview with the show, he said, “For two days, Moon Geun Young and I filmed the kiss scene. The director didn’t say anything except, ‘Just kiss,’ so I was flustered…After we shot the kiss scene, the staff members said they were envious.” Can’t you just imagine the staff members staring at the two in awe?

Apart from discussing the kiss scene, he later also admitted, “Because I’m a good guy, I like bad girls.”

Shin Se-kyung, 2AM’s Im Seulong, Baek Jin-hee, and two members of CN Blue are starring in a three-part omnibus film about youth, wandering, passion and music, called Acoustic.

Directed by Yoo Sang-hun, the film will be divided into three parts: Part 1 stars Shin Se-kyung, Part 2 stars CN Blue’s Lee Jong-hyun and Kang Min-hyuk, and Part 3 stars Im Seulong and Baek Jin-hee.

It looks like Shin Se-kyung is the big name star, cast to drum up interest in the indie film, but the focus may be more on Part 3′s Im Seulong and Baek Jin-hee, as theirs is the love story. Baek is gaining a lot of traction in supporting roles, with projects like The Naked Kitchen, Loving You a Thousand Times, and the drama special Secret Garden under her belt. This year she’ll be in two other films, Hoya and Festival, both currently in production.

Shin Se-kyung is at work on her big film Blue Salt with Song Kang-ho and Chun Jung-myung, a thriller due out later this year. Im Seulong played a supporting role in Personal Taste, and this will be the acting debut for CN Blue’s Lee Jong-hyun and Kang Min-hyuk.

Omnibus films are a great breeding ground for new talent, rising stars, and especially great for crossover singers who are pretty green when it comes to acting. The short-film compilation feel of it will probably help to counterbalance it too, if any of the stories start to lag. With the right soundtrack and a loose, indie sensibility, this could become a film to look out for.

Acoustic is currently in principle photography, and is aiming for an October release at the Busan International Film Festival.
