We see... We see... Ah yes! It is coming to us now!

• B.A.P will buy stock in Rogaine and hats. Sales will increase tenfold.

Girls’ Generation‘s comeback TV special, ‘Girls’ Generation’s Romantic Fantasy‘, suffered from surprisingly low viewer ratings.

According to AGB Nielson Media Research, the January 1st broadcast of ‘Girls’ Generation’s Romantic Fantasy’ achieved a lackluster 3.8% viewer rating.

The comeback special was filmed with 400 fans on set and unveiled the first ever live performance of title track, “I Got A Boy“, as well as an interview segment during which the members shared their personal stories. The highly anticipated broadcast left many fans questioning the low ratings but it could be because it aired on New Years and late in the evening (11:45PM).

Meanwhile, KBS 2TV‘s ‘Win Win‘ and SBS‘ ‘Thank You‘ garnered 11.4% and 7.4% viewer ratings, respectively.

perhaps it's interesting to point out that idols' comeback specials don't really get good ratings. According AGB Nielsen Media, BoA's comeback scored 3.2%, and Big Bang's, 3.0%.
EDIT: The ratings I mentioned are only for 2012 btw

Son Dam Bi has shown her support for the upcoming rookies from her agency with a sign that reads "17".

The number 17, of course, referred to Pledis Entertainment‘s new group Seventeen, made up of 17 members with an average age of 17.

With questions pouring in, Pledis Entertainment responded, "Not all the members from the 'Seventeen TV' are confirmed to be final members of Seventeen. They will be going through various training and judging to be chosen as the final members. The group Seventeen is a team that starts with the public. The members will be chosen by monitoring the public’s response."

Can you picture Kim Nam-gil and Jang Na-ra together?

Kim sure didn’t think so as he came out to deny the rumor that linked the two actors together.

“It’s ridiculous,” Kim said regarding the supposed gift that Kim lavished on her recently.

Although Kim did pay for a snack van to visit the set of the drama “School” in which Jang stars, Kim’s agency said that the occasion was actually intended for friend and fellow actor Choi Daniel.

“Although Kim and Jang are friends, there’s nothing more to it,” said the agency, adding that Kim wanted to shout his friend with whom he plays soccer from time to time.

The rumor began circulating online when comedian Kim Young-chun claimed that a catering van stopped by the set of “School,” in which he also stars, as a gift from Kim to Jang for the actress’ recent win at the KBS Acting Awards.

The North Korean leader has delivered a new year's message on state TV, the first such broadcast for 19 years.

Kim Jong-un, in power since 2011, spoke of the need to improve the economy and also to reunify the Koreas, warning that confrontation only led to war.


The speech came less than a month after the conservative Park Geun-hye was elected president of South Korea.

In 1994, Mr Kim's grandfather, Kim Il-sung, spoke on radio and TV. His son, Kim Jong-il rarely spoke in public.

In addition to Mr Kim's televised address, new year's messages were issued in the form of a joint editorial by North Korea's three main newspapers.

Actor Jo In-Seong swooned women with his '1 second' smile.

The teaser for the SBS drama "Wind Blows in Winter" was revealed at the SBS Acting Awards on the 31st.

Starting with the line, "I who wants to live met a woman who wants to die" Jo In-Seong appears first with a smile on his face.

Jo In-Seong in the teaser has an unbelievably strong visual with his fierce yet soft and emotional act.

The way he looks into actress Song Hye-kyo's face and smiles gives off the charm of a home fatale.

Netizens say, "His single second smile was so short but so fierce" and more.

Meanwhile, "Wind Blows in Winter" is about a man and a woman who don't believe in love. Acted out by Jo In-Seong and Song Hye-kyo, the script is written by Noh Hee-kyeong and directed by Kim Kyoo-tae.

f(x)’s Sulli and miss A’s Suzy wearing the same outfit has garnered attention from the fans.

On December 31, Sulli wore a white flowered mini-dress to the 2012 SBS Drama Awards. As an accessory, the singer also put a white flower in her hair to emphasize the overall cute allure she gave off. On that day, Sulli took home the “New Star Award” for her starring role in the drama “To The Beautiful You.”

A few days before, 2012 KBS Entertainment Awards commenced its ceremony at the newly constructed KBS Hall. One of the many stars who stepped on the red carpet was miss A’s Suzy, and she showed up with the same outfit as Sulli’s but rather than a flower, the singer tied her hair and placed a headband on top of it.

Netizens’ comments included, “They are wearing the same outfit, and the two look really pretty,” “Each of them is showing off a different charm,” and “Wow! I did not notice that they wore the same dress until now.”

Omona, why are people always stealing Suzy's dresses or vice versa?! Also, sorry for the crappy pic of Suzy walking across the stage so you can see her shoes. I couldn't find a good one online so I screen capped it from a Youtube video OTL.

Not bad, not amazing, what do you think Omona? I'm not a D-Unit stan, but I like them.

Jo Hyun Gil, the producer of hit series ‘Iris’ and ‘Athena: Goddess of War’, was found dead in his car on January 2.

The producer was found dead inside a car in the parking lot of a restaurant he owns in Gangnam around 9:00 AM KST. Police first suspected that he died due to hypothermia as he stayed up in his car for too long in extremely cold weather.

However, police is still considering a suicidal attempt as Jo Hyun Gil posted the words, “I’m relieved now that I’ve put it all down” on his Facebook on December 31. But the family of the deceased are insisting that the death was an accident.

Jo Hyun Gil’s body was sent to a Hospital in Gangnam, Seoul and will taking a funeral ceremony on January 4th at 8:40AM.

Meanwhile, Jo Hyun Gil was also known for producing famous movies like ‘71 Into the Fire’, ‘Wet Dreams’ and the ‘Marrying the Mafia’ series.

In my opinion, the family could be in denial. It seems unlikely someone could accidentally die of hypothermia unless maybe he fell asleep inside the car. Either way, Korea lost a talented person, RIP.
