Promotions for the 2nd mini album, where Infinite tried out many things, has ended. To show a better side of us to fans, we lost weight and wanted to show a more mature side for our music—-. Thank you so much looking at us nicely and we were really happy. We could gain more strength because we had partners called ‘Inspirits’. We will think of Inspirits and put more effort in, then show everyone our improving sides. I sincerely love you. Inspirit—-.

From Infinite’s head chief, Sunggyu

We reported earlier that Eun Ji Won was coming back with a new collaboration group called ‘Clover‘, which he created with Typhoon and Gilme. To build up the hype for their debut, the trio has just unleashed their hot MV teaser!

Eun Ji Won explained beforehand, “I’ve been working with them for a while, and I often thought that if the three of us came together as a group, we’d be able to pursue the type of music we wanted to. We’re all passionate about the same genre of music, which was the basis for us getting together.”

He continued, “This project album won’t feature any of the auto-tune and hooks that are so popular with mainstream music. Instead, we’ll be writing and composing everything in order to produce something unique to ourselves.”

The album’s official release is set for the 31st!

Really fulfilling their wish to have a long stay in Taiwan, but SJ-M expressed in dismay that: "Can't leave the house, because no matter where we go there would be people following (us) around...". Super Junior had just finished three consecutive concerts in Taiwan in the middle of the month, its subunit SJ-M, which aims to develop in the Chinese market, came to Taiwan quietly the other day to prepare for a long stay. The members even joked in Chinese, saying that: "Look for us to film advertisements, the prices are negotiable". Even though they would like to blend in more with the life in Taipei, but because they have too many fans following them around, they were unable to move around freely, and replied to the media in dismay, saying that: "We can't really go out".

South Korea will carry out extensive safety checkups on all of the nation's 21 nuclear reactors over the next month, with any problematic ones to be shut down, officials said Monday as they took urgent moves after massive radiation leaks from Japan's quake-crippled nuclear plant in Fukushima.

Under the latest measure announced after a nuclear safety meeting presided over by Prime Minister Kim Hwang-sik, the government will conduct intensive inspections of all 21 reactors nationwide, particularly those built over 20 years ago, by April 22, said the officials.

The safety inspections will also be carried out under a simulation in which multiple disasters strike the nation, including an earthquake, tsunami, power failure and radiation leaks, the officials at the Prime Minister's Office said.

South Korea currently operates 21 nuclear reactors located at four nuclear power plants, which produce some 36 percent of the country's electric power output, while thermal power generation accounts for 63 percent. South Korea currently ranks as the fifth-largest nuclear energy producer in the world.

The government said it will continue to maintain the government's nuclear energy policy, while placing more emphasis on safety.

South Korea plans to construct five more reactors by 2014 and two others by 2017 in a bid to secure a stable energy supply and help tackle climate change.

"We should come up with complete countermeasures against nuclear disaster, based on analysis of Japan's radiation leaks and the results of the upcoming tests," said Kim, calling for the government to keep close tabs on the situation in Japan.

Recently a fashion community cafe analyzed Sohee’s fashion clothes and much to their surprise they discovered her ’secret’, which is her way of coordinating old clothes and upgrading it into something new.

A netizen said “Back in 2008, Sohee was wearing that same black coat that she was seen wearing recently at the airport”, and continued saying he would look for more identical clothes.

After looking for more photos of Sohee with identical clothes the netizen noticed that she was wearing a striped shirt when she debuted and when she was doing a broadcast. She was also spotted wearing a red knitted dress at a fansigning event 2 years ago and at the end of last year. She was also seen wearing the black coat at a fashion show event. The shoes, bag, and hats are not the only fashion items. She occasionally wears a red knitted hat at airports, concerts, and when there is no broadcasts.

The netizen added “Sohee’s way of fashion is that she uses old clothes and coordinates it into something new” and “she doesn’t just pick random luxurious items but instead she coordinates to look nice”.

Another netizen stated “Even if I wear clothes for one day it’ll look old but Sohee seems to manage hers pretty well”.

Others flooded her with praise stating “Such meticulous fashion sense. I think it’s prudent”, “Exposed shift-wear mania?”, “peculiar way of managing clothes”.

Eddie Shin's voice is gorgeous. It makes me sad that they'll get passed over.

Group Infinite showed their satisfying feelings of the growing popularity of their 3rd single album ‘Inspirit’.

Infinite who had an interview on the morning of the 28th, was asked what the feel of the fans reactions were after the release of the 3rd single album and answered “We think the reactions are better than when were promoting our second mini album, BTD. It feels like we have gotten higher on the music charts and there are now many fans who follow the cheering when we perform. We also have seen a lot of fans who smile at us like a mother”.

Also the members answered “We think a lot of fans are loving us because of the cute fresh concept seeing as the season is spring. At each performance we put in different adlibs and there are lot of fans who watch our cheeky sides carefully” and explained their driving popularity.

There you go, another 'stop the presses' news release about Infinite. But admit it, everyone's just going to lap up every single word of it as if it were the last Bacon Tomato Deluxe in existence.

And forever lol-ing at the "smile at us like a mother" line. Smile at you like filthy minded pedo-noonas is more like it. Oh those naively innocent boys.
