Shaking and crying: this is obviously ~world recognition~ 

The members of Brown Eyed Girls have pretty busy schedules with their Japanese debut, Narsha's commitments to Invincible Youth and her radioshow, Ga-In with We Got Married and the new sitcom All My Love not to mention various solo projects and a fourth album being prepared - it's no surprise that there hasn't been any definite info regarding the news of their 2010 concert. A concert was due to happen in November, but that sadly got cancelled.

But it looks like the Brown Eyed Girls Concert 2010 has definitely been confirmed for two dates in December which links in nicely to their comeback.

CONCERT INFO
Performance Date: December 10th and 11th, 2010
Performance Time: 19:00
Performance place: Ax Korea Theater
Duration: 120 minutes

i always love reading what heechul says. he's definitely one of the wisest, most sarcastic members in the group and i think that's what makes him fit in, actually. he has a lot of views, most of which i agree with because he's never said anything dumb (meaning, he knows when to stfu). i really look up to him and this fancafe entry definitely reminds me why i idolize him so much. ok, i'll stop talking now.

So Omona what do you think?

once again some constructive feedback is very much welcomed and encouraged.

Yoon Doojoon was humiliated by Yoo Saeyoon. On the broadcast of MBC's new sitcom 'All My Love' on November 5th, Yoon Doojoon, Ga-In, and Jokwon went to find the Knee Drop Guru, Yoo Saeyoon.

When Yoo Saeyoon asked, "Why do you believe that you got picked for this sitcom? It is true that you guys are the most popular in your groups...", he locked eyes with Yoon Doojoon and said, "I'm Sorry", which caused a lot of laughter.
(The reason why he said sorry was because he thinks that Doojoon isn't the most popular among his BEAST members. But, of course, he was joking.)

As soon as Yoo Saeyoon saw Yoon Doojoon, he asked, "Who are you?" When Yoon Doojoon answered, "I'm BEAST's leader, Yoon Doojoon," Yoo Saeyoon humiliated him by saying, "Oh, Kikwang's group."

Former H.O.T member Tony An recently grabbed the public’s attention by confessing that he would be willing to go out with KARA’s leader Park Gyuri.

Through his guest appearance on SBS’s Strong Heart, both Tony and Gyuri made an appearance as guests on the show. Tony revealed the special relationship he had with Gyuri’s father. During Tony’s mandatory service in the military, Tony met with Gyuri’s father who works in the military.

Gyuri was a huge fan of H.O.T while growing up and she revealed on Strong Heart, “My father works for the military promotions media. When I found out that my dad was working with Tony in the military, I asked my dad to take good care of him.”

Regarding Gyuri’s father, Tony complimented, “Gyuri’s father is very good person.” MC Kang Ho Dong, who is well known for creating scandals among celebrities on the show, suddenly asked, “Are you saying that because he’s your father-in-law?” to which Tony replied, “Yes.” Not stopping there, Kang Ho Dong then asked Tony if he would consider going out with Gyuri in real life.

Gyuri who heard the question, commented that through her father she has met Tony for non-business related reasons. The idol explained, “I went to meet him without makeup in a hurry wearing my cap. Oppa told me to take off the hat and after seeing my non makeup face stated, ‘No matter which way I look at it, why do you put on makeup?’” causing the rest of the guest members on Strong Heart to cringe at this sweet comment.

Lizzy’s teaser photo appears to be based off of the popular novel/movie, “Alice in Wonderland.” However, she doesn’t seem to be dressed up as any specific character. While her hair color and the different suits imprinted on her dress imply that she may be dressed as the Queen of Hearts, the blue color of her dress and her sweet smile resembles that of Alice.

According to the website, Nana’s teaser photo will be revealed tomorrow! Make sure to check allkpop tomorrow for their next update!

On the November 8th, MTV Taiwan’s Top Entertainment show covered SHINee‘s recent visit to Taiwan.
Among some of the things shown was an announcement saying that SM Town will be making a stop in Taiwan next year!
The show talks about how SHINee went out for Taiwanese food and they love bubble tea and noodles before their first fan meeting. Although one of the members had to sit and sing because of a foot injury, the presence of so many fans made the boys very emotional.
The show mentions how the fans were being really creative in trying to draw their attention and some were even wearing Korean clothes.
Of course, they also covered how Jonghyun cried during the meeting and the Korean media has said that it was because of the pressure he’s under but MTV Taiwan believes it was because of the warmth of the fans. All five said they want to come to Taiwan next year.

“In April of next year, the whole family will come, including Super Junior, Girls Generation, of course SHINee.” [MTV Taiwan]

As a butcher's daughter, I grew up eating the best meat.

I guess you could say I have become a meat snob so I was excited to have the chance to taste the beef that South Koreans are so proud of... Hanwoo beef.

I have tasted Japan's Wagyu beef and I've seen how the cattle are treated like humans. At a small farm two hours from Seoul, there are no cows being massaged or classical music playing to relax the animals, but there is a definite whiff of beer in the air.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter praised South Korea's bid to host the 2022 World Cup on Monday and said that the sport had the power to unite the divided northern and southern halves of the country.

The hosts for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups will be announced by FIFA on 2 December, with Australia, Japan, Qatar and the U.S. also competing to host the 2022 competition.

"There is no doubt that Korea should be ready to organize a good World Cup," Blatter told reporters at a joint press conference with South Korean president Lee Myung-Bak in the capital Seoul, after being awarded the country's Order of Merit for Sports.

On November 9th, China News Net reported that the news of 4 Japanese Coast Guard personnels dancing to SNSD’s “Hoot” in skirts and knee socks on the deck of a ship received huge popularity on the Internet.

It was nonetheless a dangerous act on the deck as there were big waves but the 4 personnels were determined to finish the dance regardless of the risk. For their bravery and determination, they were applauded.

Looks like even Japanese Cast Guards are equipped with invisible arrows these days.

It's true that BEAST is enjoying tremendous popularity even on 'Superstar K2'.

On November 9th at 12AM, they released their 4th album 'Lights Go On Again' through music portal sites. After expecting sensational popularity due to the hot preorders of their album, BEAST received fantastic reactions after actually releasing it.

After revealing their new song titled 'Beautiful', they are receiving storm-like popularity from various music charts and they are ranking number 1 on real-time [live] charts. BEAST, who finally made it to the top male idol status with gradual steps, is gaining attention from music officials who believe that they will clearly climb to the top with their new album.

Not only is BEAST's 4th album title song 'Beautiful' receiving a lot of love, but the other songs from the album are, too. All 5 songs are ranking high on many music charts.

With their debut song 'Bad Girl', including 'Mystery', 'Shock', and 'Breath', BEAST was able to reach towards invincibility. The popularity that they are gaining with their 4th album will also be part of that extension. As much as they emphasized their new attempt, many are wondering what kind of reaction they will garner once they prepare their performance with a new charm.

Park Yoo Chun (24), who successfully debuted as an actor by appearing in the drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” said, “I really enjoyed acting and I feel like acting continuously from now on. I want to have activities both as a singer and an actor.”

His debut was very electrifying. He gained huge popularity not as a member of Asia’s popular idol group JYJ, which consists of three of the former Dong Bang Shin Ki members, but as actor Park Yoo Chun. His debut drama was “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” and now he can simultaneously chase two goals of singing and acting. He seems to be following after popular singers such as Jeong Ji Hoon (Rain) and Lee Seung Ki, who has been highly acknowledged as an actor as well. The reporter met Park Yoo Chun, who had reportedly been laid up with fatigue for two days after finishing the drama, at the office of JVJ on November 5.

About a week ago, we reported that two ulzzangs named Kim Seul Mi and Park Eun Ji were set to debut through a new girl group. Well, another ulzzang has been added into the group!
Park Se Mi, who is also known to be actress Park Min Young’s look-alike, joining the group as its third member. According to Hwiad Entertainment, “Only three out of five members have been finalized, and the remaining two will be revealed later.”
Here’s hoping that she was chosen because she’s musically talented, and not just for her looks.

I am so excited for this group I can't wait for Seulmi to debut she is a friken goddess ♥

After analyzing the songs that placed first this year, it became clear that SM, YG, and JYP are still the big three kings of the musical industry. The three companies' veteran artists swept first place everywhere, and at the same time, they also produced incredible rookies.

SM's biggest artists so far this year were BoA, SHINee and Girls' Generation. BoA returned to the Korean music industry for the first time in 5 years, and her "Hurricane Venus" managed to sweep major music charts and programs.

SHINee, who has been previously labeled "the idol group that sings well", also returned to the music industry with their second official album, "Lucifer." They ranked first in charts such as Hanteo (album sales), and also swept music programs.

Girls' Generation is currently taking the stage. Girls' Generation has already ranked first numerous times in many music charts with "Oh!" and "Run Devil Run." Additionally, the title song of their third mini-album, "Hoot", has been sweeping every music chart so far this month.

YG saw much profit with Taeyang's solo activities. Taeyang took over July with his "I Need a Girl," and was praised for his singing and dancing abilities.

2NE1 also had a comeback with their first album and surprised everyone when they promoted three title songs during the same period. Their “Go Away”, “Can’t Nobody”, and “Clap Your Hands”, helped them get first place for more than three weeks on a music program that does not allow more than three awards per artist per promotional period. 2NE1 even managed to have their own title songs battle each other.

JYP's biggest profit was debuting Miss A. Even though Miss A was merely a rookie group, their "Bad Girl Good Girl" placed first in major musical charts such as Melon and Monkey3 for four straight weeks in July. They even managed to snag first place on a musical program, showing that they were powerful rookies. Their newest track,"Breathe", which had a unique and upgraded performance, also brought in a considerable profit.

JYP's 2AM also swept first in many musical charts in the beginning half of the year with their song, "Can't Let You Go Even if I Die." Since their comeback with their first official album at the end of October, they are doing incredibly well with their two title songs, "You Didn't Answer My Calls" and "Like Crazy." 2PM was also on the charts with "I'll Be Back".

Other artists outside of the 3 major companies that have taken over the musical charts are DJ DOC, who caused an uproar with "I'm Like This," Supreme Team with "Then Then Then," IU, Brown Eyed Girls' Gain, Secret's "Madonna", and Super Star K's Hur Gak and Kang Seungyoon.

Veteran television writer Kim Soo-hyun.

While some viewers were outraged, the show's writer says 'this is the face of any family.'

Veteran television writer Kim Soo-hyun is no stranger to controversy. And by bringing the taboo subject of same-sex relationships to prime-time television in Korea, she once again thrust herself into the spotlight.

In the SBS drama "Life is Beautiful," which came to a close this Sunday, Kim brought up the issue of gay relationships to an audience that had rarely, if ever, given them any thought. Along with this, other touchy subjects such as abortion and adultery were addressed in the 63-part series.

Former member of idol group T-Max, Park Yunhwa, will be entering the military on November 16th as an active-duty soldier.

He stated, “I’m glad to be able to validate myself as a healthy Korean man through my entrance into the military. I had the opportunity to delay it due to my studies, but I’d rather go in early and mature myself. I still haven’t shown a lot of what I’m capable of, but I’ll return with deeper music in two years.”

Park Yunhwa debuted in 2007 with T-Max’s “Blooming“, but left the group earlier this year before the release of their first official album.
