On January 17, their label A100 Entertainment announced, “NeonPunch recently finished working on their new song, and they are confirmed to come back at the end of January.”

Flashback Friday

Happy Friday! It’s been raining pretty much all week, and today we finally got a break and now I can finally go outside. Every week I go through the charts for this day in the past and post the top three songs. Then I pick out two more from the top ten as honorable mentions. This week, let’s check out what we were listening to in the 3rd week of January, 2015.


#3 Jonghyun featuring Zion. T “Deja Boo”
I love this song so much, it’s my most favorite of his solo stuff. I know there were some complaints about the MV being a performance video, but I’ve always liked it. He looks so great up on stage, and I just like the song too much anyways lol. Zion. T looking so fresh and so clean clean in white! And P.S. oh my god I can’t believe I’d forgotten all about that SM hologram musical thing lol!

U-KISS’s Jun Opens Up About UNB, Their Final Concert In Japan, And More


OP's alternate title: MBK Ent. unsurprisingly does people dirty again, likely to disband UNB without farewell in Korea

( Collapse )

UNB will have their final concerts in Japan, with one in Osaka on January 25 and another in Tokyo on January 27. They will end their activities in Japan and not in Korea. Concerning that, Jun relayed his apologies, saying, “I feel really apologetic. UNB was born in Korea through the votes of the unit makers. We wanted to return all the love we got from UNME [fan club name], but I wonder how many times we repaid [the love] or how well it was delivered during our one-year promotion. Honestly it doesn’t feel like enough, so I personally feel sorry, and I’m very sorry to my members as well.”

He continued, “Even having our last concert in Japan is something to be grateful for, but it would have been better if there was a chance to say good-bye properly in Korea. I feel like I’m on a long trip, but I can’t say hello to my parents. I’m so sorry. We are also disappointed that we can’t finish our promotions in Korea. It’s heartbreaking to think of the people who will feel as regretful as we do.”

tl;dr: MBK Entertainment manages UNB and UNI.T, the winning boy and girl groups from KBS' idol rebooting show "The Unit". Both groups have had a debut and a comeback each, and UNI.T's first comeback in September was revealed to also be their last before disbandment. MBK went on to organize MBC's boy group survival show "Under Nineteen" and announced that they will manage the winning group from that show as well. UNB members then did their own separate things while there's no certainty on whether UNB will have another comeback. Later it was announced that UNB will be having final concerts in Japan this January and also release a Japanese concert DVD. There's no word from MBK on whether any farewell activities or release in Korea are planned, but considering what Jun said in this article there most likely won't be any and UNB will disband just like that.
