TVXQ’s Junsu’s twin brother enters entertaiment world.

Yesh! I expected this to happen! XD XD XD

Newsen reported (translation by sharon@bigbangshinki forums):

“Kim Junho, Xiah Junsu’s twin brother, recently officially began his career in the entertainment industry by shooting a commercial for a soy
milk company, which he signed a contract with.

It was revealed that 3 years ago, Kim Junho started going to acting classes so he could debut as an actor. Also, he was in a musical before so he is also known as a musical actor.

Last year, Kim Junho starred in the MBC variety show, “Introducing a Star’s Friend.” With a height of 188cm (6ft 2 inches), an athletic body from being a pitcher for his college baseball team and an appearance similar to Jo Han Sun, Kim Junho was a hot topic of discussion.

Xiah Junsu said, “He is like a Buddha so we never fought when we were young.” Junsu also showed his close friendship with his twin brother by saying, “Since we were young, he would yield everything so we would always go out and play sports together.”

In addition, some people say that Xiah Junsu, their mom, and others visited Kim Junho at the place Junho was shooting his commercial to show their support for him.”

DBSK Jae Joong featured in upcoming Taegoon ‘Call Me’ MV

Taegoon is new to the Kpop scene and his ‘Call Me’ MV preview was just released. Seems like the MV features TVXQ / DBSK’s Jaejoong and actress Park Shin Hye.

I like the beat of the song and Taegoon seems to be a really good dancer too. I’m sure lots of people will be anticipating for the full MV just because Jae is in it LOL.

*update! edit

Oh my gee!! I could tell that he’s good looking from the MV preview but his face wasn’t all that clear… but wow! (I think he resembles se7en somehow) Now, I really look forward for the full MV. And more info:

The title dance song to TaeGoon’s first minialbum ‘Call Me’ is produced by the same person who did Crown J’s ‘Fly Boy’. And fans are expecting to see dance choreography with the same vigor with that of Son DamBi’s ‘Crazy’.

Other than that, the minialbum will include 6 songs, including songs like ‘one two step’ and ‘I know that lady’ featuring the rap of singer H-Eugene.

TaeGoon will have his debut stage on MBC Music Core on 17th January.

MIROTIC in Chinese?

Seems like there’ll be another version of Dong Bang Shin Ki’s MIROTIC. This time, it’ll be in Chinese! Check it out below:

Ugh…. I always thought the Japanese version was a bit weird, but this version is even weirder. LOL. The rap made me ROFL.

“I love it when you got no shame,

do those things, so insane.

You love it when I play your games,

work that brain, I’m in your aim.

Yeah~ I’m in your aim.”

No shame??? LOL.

Jae Joong & Han Hyoju – Too close for fans comfort?

For those who are keeping up to date on DBSK’s schedule, you probably should’ve known that Hero Jaejoong will be in a drama called “Heaven’s Postman.” In a staff party, pictures of Jae and co-star Han Hyoju getting a bit too close surfaced around the net and yes, freaking out the fans. There were mixed reactions from the fans, both postive and negative. Honestly, I think the fans need to calm down.

Anyway, here’s a tidbit from “Heaven’s Postman.”

“The story is about a legend of a red mailbox that can send a letter for one’s love and lots of people who can’t forget their important person sent a letter full of love. Saki (Han Hyo Joo), is one of them. She sent a letter full of hatred to her death lover trough the mailbox and thats where she met Yuu (Jaejoong). But the truth is, only Saki can see Yuu,because Yuu is a soul that can’t be seen. Yuu was in a coma since one accident that happened to him and God give him two weeks of extra life time as the heaven’s postman, where he connected between the real world and the dead, between heaven and Earth.
So, in order to bring hope to the people who had lost their beloved person, Saki became Yuu’s assistant. And started forgetting the pain of missing her beloved person, Saki also begin to like Yuu. What will the God’s decision be? Will Yuu survive or dead? And where will the two lovers meet?”

Yuu (Hero Jaejoong)

Yuu became rich because of the success of his clothing bussiness, so he has his own favorite way of enjoying life. But after involved in an accident, he became lifeless. While his body remained in the intensive care unit, his soul is out there working as the heaven’s postman and meeting Saki.

Make sure to catch Jae on the drama when it comes out supposedly around May(?) on SBS!

2009 idol forecast!

The idol forecast for 2009 will be bright with new groups, individual activities, concerts and tours.

Super Junior, the 13-member pop group, saw some of its members branching out here and also abroad through smaller “units” like Super Junior-T, Super Junior-Happy, Super Junior-M and Super Junior-K.R.Y, but this year will see all of the members getting together as one whole group.

“We think we show our best performances when we are all working together. We will show everyone what Super Junior has in store this year, all together,” the members said at a recent press conference before their concert scheduled for this month.

The group will release its third album in March. While the members of Super Junior are getting back together, Big Bang is gearing up for solo activities.

The five-member pop group is holding concerts from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1 and will greet fans individually through different projects. Victory, known as Seung-ri here, has started performing solo songs recently.

His song “Strong Baby” was included in the group’s album, and slowly gained popularity day after day, especially after his performance during a music program on major TV network SBS last month. With a music video and album plans, Victory will hopefully prove that he can fly solo.

“Along with Victory, G-Dragon and Tae-yang are also looking at releasing solo albums soon. Dae-sung is also planning to release a trot (Korean traditional pop genre) single, while TOP will continue to work with other singers, including Gummy and Uhm Jung-hwa. Fans will have the chance to witness the various musical skills of the members,” YG Entertainment said.

Fans of Wonder Girls will be thrilled to know that the hit pop group will hold its first concert in February. After the concert, however, the group will move to the United States and carry out their U.S. promotions for the time being.

Nine-member group Girls’ Generation is planning to release its first mini-album called “Gee” Jan. 7. The main track, also titled “Gee,” was written by famed songwriter E-Tribe, the same composer who brought Lee Hyo-ri’s hit number “U-Go Girl.”

Being one of the only girl groups to have sold more than 100,000 albums with their debut work “Girls’ Generation” last year, the group’s next project started a buzz among fans and those working in the pop music industry.

TVXQ, who returned to the pop scene after a two-year hiatus last year with its fourth album, is planning to tour overseas this year. Starting in Korea, the five-member group will take “The Third Asia Tour Concert-Mirotic” to places such as Beijing and Bangkok. The group’s local concert will be held at the Gymnastics Stadium, Olympic Park. TVXQ will also release a single album later this month in Japan. (Han Sang-hee, Staff Reporter, The Korea Times)

DBSK Yunho, WG Yoo Bin & BB Seung Ri – Ex schoolmates?

“It has been disclosed recently that Dong Bang Shin Ki’s U-Know Yun Ho, Wonder Girls’ Yoo Bin, and Big Bang’s Seung Ri all went to Jeong Ahm Elementary School in Weol Gye Dong, Kwang Ju.

The three people coincidentally went to Kwang Ju, their hometown, on January 1st at the same time and were surprised to find out that they went to the same elementary school. U-Know Yun Ho is the oldest, being born in 1986; Yoo Bin is after him, being born in 1988; and Seung Ri is the youngest, being born in 1990.

This isn’t the first time celebrities are drawing popularity by being alumni of the same school, but the fact that a member from each of the three greatest idol groups that are leading the music industry today is alumni of the same school with the others is very unique.

An associate of Seung Ri said, “Seung Ri found out by going to his hometown for New Years that the three artists gathered in one city” and “It is an incredible connection.”

An associate of U-Know Yun Ho also marveled, “I knew U-Know Yun Ho and Seung Ri went to the same school, but it’s surprising that even Yoo Bin went to the same school.”

A close associate of Yoo Bin also said, “I’ve known since last year that the three people are alumni of the same elementary school. It is a surprising coincidence.”

On the other hand, Dong Bang Shin Ki, Big Bang, and Wonder Girls are representing groups from SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment, and JYP Entertainment, respectively, that have conquered the biggest awards from the past end-of-the-year music award ceremonies and are demonstrating competitive popularity.”

Wow, this is one very cool fact. Who would’ve guessed these three were in the same elementary school?

Tohoshinki Attacks Japanese High School!

3 super lucky high schools got to realize their dreams meeting the “cool” Tohoshinki boys who are “awesome” dancers in TBS’s show Sanma Tamaos Lets Help Your Dream Come True – Special. Watch it subbed!

Tohoshinki 25th Single – Bolero MV!

The boys are back with their new Japanese single, Bolero! Check out the full MV. I’m currently downloading a HQ version of the MV. Done downloading, but I don’t feel like uploading it… Too much work. If I can find a better HQ on the net, I’ll post it here.

The song is quite nice. The MV is great too with the boys in suit but not a fan of their haircut though… But its definitely better than Mirotic’s haircut though. That one was pure LOL. Don’t hate me for saying that, it’s just my opinion.

DBSK U-Know Yunho sponsoring scholarships!

“Alumni TVXQ leader Yunho with his parents visited his alma mater Kwangil High School, 5 years after graduating last February 2004 when he was 19.

Yunho paid for the scholarships of 6 junior students and met with the principal and his previous teachers. He also had an autograph signing session and gave an inspirational speech for the success of the dreams of the students through having passion and then had a picture taken with some of his fans. Source-  TVXQ soul”

By the way, the scholarship for the six lucky students cost about ₩ 6,000,000. Good job to Yunho! Now, if my favourite idol would come to my school and give me scholarship… I would soooooo dedicate my life to studying and idol worshipping. But not everyone is that lucky. LOL
