Lee Min Jung Displays Her Sexy Charm For "Singles" Photoshoot

Natural beauty Lee Min Jung is garnering attention for a "Singles" fashion magazine photo shoot taken at Los Angeles. Her femme fatale transformation charmed numerous fans.
The actress’ “pure, innocent beauty” image is nowhere to be seen with as she has a 180 degree change in the photos. The shoot was taken at other cities but primarily at Los Angeles to portray more of an exotic and different feel. Lee Min Jung succeeded showing the expression of a woman being broken up with her lover, but firmly accepting the outcome.
Her detailed acting, sexy makeup and styling also gained attention. Fierce smoky eyes and nude pink lip color were used to display Lee Min Jung’s hidden alluring charm. Her messy, yet natural hairstyle portrayed a vintage feel while her apparels focused on unique and stylishness. Although she had a cold during the photo shoot, Lee Min Jung did not lose her professionalism and gave her best effort.
Currently the actress is waiting for the premiere of her movie “Wonderful Radio.”

One SNSD Member Costs $3 Million (To Find and Train)

SM Entertainment’s CEO Kim Young Min explained the behind story of SNSD being created.
On November 4, Kim Young Min appeared alongside SM Entertainment Japan’s Shigeo Maruyama on the Japanese FBS TV Show “Tokoro, Sanma’s Who Is Moving the World Discussion.” Kim Young Min spoke about how K-Pop succeeded and the direction it needs to take now.

First, K-Pop chose “Comprehensive Training System” as one of the main reasons for the success of K-Pop. Kim Young Min stated, “If a group concept is chosen, then the members start training their foreign languages, dancing, and singing.” He explained that the average training period for trainees is 3~5 years, DBSK trained for nearly 7 years.
He also explained that finding and training each SNSD member cost around $3 Million dollars per member. There are about 30,000 individuals who take SM auditions and only about 100 end up receiving training. The costs of doing an audition and training reaches nearly $3~5 Million.
Kim Young Min stated, “The most important thing for our company is finding new talent and helping them grow,” the auditions are being held in Korea, Japan, the U.S., and China. He continued, “I think the most important aspect of training is training a celebrity’s personality.” He stated that a lot of times if an experienced individual suddenly becomes a star, their judgment becomes unclear. Therefore, it is always important to ensure that trainees learn about principle through dormitory life and also family.
Kim Young Min also added that marketing research, the internet, and new media were also other aspects of K-Pop that helped make it succeed.

Will T-ara’s New Strategy Work Against SNSD and Wonder Girls?

T-ara will join what is dubbed the “Great Battle of the Girl Groups” this month as their new album promotions will coincide with those of SNSD and Wonder Girls. To face up against two of the most popular girl groups in the industry, T-ara has come up with a new strategy that has never been tested in the past.
Their first move was to release part one of “Cry Cry’s” music video. On November 9, they unveiled the 15-minute epic video, starring prominent actors Cha Seung Won and Ji Chang Wook, as well as four of the T-ara members. It is reported to have taken more than 96 hours of filming for this 30 minute MV, which will be divided into two parts and includes some unprecedented large-scale footage rarely seen in music videos.
However, the interesting part is “Cry Cry” is not even T-ara’s new title track. It’s in fact “Lovey Dovey” which will be released a month from now. The “Cry Cry” MV is actually part of their larger strategy to raise awareness and gain additional publicity for their new album. Also, they were able to lessen the pressure of promoting at the same time as SNSD and Wonder Girls by shifting some of the attention to their blockbuster MV.
In fact, when they start promoting their title track, “Lovey Dovey,” in December, the hype for SNSD and Wonder Girls are expected to drop a bit. The two groups could be wrapping up their first round of promotions, and in that case, T-ara’s title track can avoid direct competition against the two giant groups. And even if SNSD and Wonder Girls come up with their follow up tracks later, “Lovey Dovey” will be able to be at the center of attention and save some time in the meantime.
The problem, however, is the year-end award shows. T-ara’s promotions for “Lovey Dovey” will coincide with most of the year-end music shows and could hurt their chances of winning any awards. They won’t have enough time to fully promote the new album, but T-ara employed a similar strategy last December with their mini album title track, “Ya Ya Ya,” and still managed to do quite well with the awards.

G-Dragon’s “Heartbreaker” Involved in Another Plagiarism Scandal

Just two years after being accused of plagiarism, G-Dragon’s 2009 hit single “Heartbreaker” has been involved in yet another plagiarism scandal. Only this time it’s on the other side of the story as Japanese pop diva Namie Amuro is accused of copying G-Dragon’s solo debut track.
According to Japanese media, fans in Japan are currently questioning whether Namie Amuro’s upcoming single, “Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!” has copied the beats of “Heartbreaker.” If you compare the two songs, there is a common synthesizer sound in the background, but it’s hard to tell if they follow the same exact beat and notes.
In the past, Namie Amuro’s “Black Diamond” was also accused of plagiarizing Janet Jackson’s “Feeback.” Ironically, “Heartbreaker” was also part of a plagiarism scandal in 2009 for allegedly copying U.S. rapper Flo Rida’s “Right Round” – only to be freed from charge after Flo Rida himself came out and said they’re not plagiarized. Flo Rida later performed the song with G-Dragon on the same stage, completely erasing any doubts that might have remained after the scandal.
Namie Amuro’s representatives have not responded to any of the allegations yet. On November 6, she had to be sent to the hospital after experiencing a sore throat during her nationwide concert.
Here are the two songs for you to compare. Is it a legitimate accusation?

Five Rumors and the Truth about Wonder Girls

Did the Wonder Girls really have to go to America?

There is no other way to express hardship. Whatever was thought as suffering could not match what the girls went through in America. In 2009 the Wonder Girls were a nationally treasured girl group in Korea. They were the best of the best, the very tip of the top. However, in less than two years, their high profile status was upset and flipped over. Their rivals have moved into their place and even their juniors have fought their way up to stardom.

People cocked their head to one side, and put a question mark to JYP's strategy of leaving the home turf. Why not just stay at the top in the K-pop world? Even fans were disappointed and didn't understand why the Wonder Girls had no other plans but to start activities in America.

To get to the point of the message here, the Wonder Girls' activities in America were not a waste of time. Instead of being safe at the top, they tackled (and still are tackling) a challenge. Although it was a tiring and relentless two years, the pain from their experiences in America eventually became medicine. The girls' musical foundation has definitely matured and developed and it shows in their new album "Wonder World."

On November 6 the Wonder Girls were interviewed by Dispatch News at Imperial Hotel. The girls were asked to comment and tell their sides of the story in response to five popular rumors.



Rumor # 1: The Wonder Girls Failed in America

From "Tell Me" to "So Hot" to "Nobody," with each song the girls took the nation by storm. Therefore their departure to America in 2009 was a bit of a surprise. Two years of activities away from home just seemed like too long a time, and the reaction to the mini-album last year was at best mediocre. There can't help but be a lot of talk of the Wonder Girls having failed in America.

Sun Ye: We understand why people question why we left Korea. One can say it is because the expectations people had of us were big, but our side of the story was different. Two years ago, we were completely exhausted. We needed time to slowly reenergize and progress in our development. Our time in New York was probably the most important period of my life. In a diverse environment with a lot of cultures and people present, we learned a great deal. If it wasn't for that, there would have been no producing or rap making in the new album. We are truly grateful for our time in America, and it was an important one for us as a group.

Ye Eun: If we went to America now, things would have been a bit easier. The most important thing I learned is that if you want to succeed in foreign activities, the key is learning the language. You have to be understood in order to communicate your intentions. We have no trouble understanding and answering questions now, therefore we have acquired both the language and culture. Our clearly defined goals and visions for America, give us the confidence we need to move on.

It was also a hot issue when famous American producer Teddy Riley (who produced SNSD's "The Boys") posted on his Twitter that the Wonder Girls were "flops in America" and that "no body cares about them." The girls have responded by stating that they "understand his statement" and showed mild indifference by stating "if you get hit on the right cheek, offer them your left."

Sun Ye: There are a lot of people that think our activities in America are a failure, but things just got heated because Teddy Riley is a famous icon. Every single person out there is not going to like us or be our fans. The fact that Teddy Riley even knows who we are is an honor. But the thing is we aren't even thinking about closing promotions and activities in America. It is too early to judge whether or not we have failed or succeeded. On the outside it may seem like we aren't attaining the desired level of achievement, however there are many things we have learned and gained. All we ask is for fans to hear us out until the end and to support us.



Rumor # 2: The Wonder Girls Delayed Their Comeback Because of SNSD

The girls have stated that they had the confidence, but the way their comeback was implemented has fans questioning that confidence. The Wonder Girls decided to delay their comeback by three weeks, although an obvious competition between both girl groups was anticipated. People are saying that the comeback got delayed due to fear of this competition against SNSD.

Sun Ye: There was a lot of debate on how to implement plans for our new album even after the decision was made to make a comeback in Korea. In the end, the album was produced, but there were a lot of different opinions on regularities and irregularities. The decision to even make a comeback was not planned in advance, so the time we had to prepare was a very short one. For our fans in Korea we decided to make a comeback, and it was just a matter of the amount of time it took to have good music made and ready.

Yoo Bin: We have been in the business for four to five years, and this is the first time our comeback coincided with SNSD, so we are fully aware that both groups are going to be compared and pitted against. But that doesn't mean we have to always be conscious of it and plan deliberately according to this competition. In popular media there is a diverse demand for what people want. What we can't produce and supply, SNSD is there to fill that empty spot, and vice versa. We are just happy and grateful that we can take part in such a energetic market called K-Pop.

The girls have also expressed that SNSD were great colleagues and friends that worked towards the same goal of spreading and influencing the K-Pop scene. The girls have monitored SNSD's work with their latest single, "The Boys," and are excited to be working alongside each other this time around.



Rumor # 3: Retro Doesn't Work Anymore

Ye Eun: There was a great deal of dispute over our title track. What people want within mainstream pop culture is very diverse. While some people wanted to see retro Wonder Girls, others wanted to see a different side to us. It was our challenge to come out with a fresh concept without losing the Wonder Girls touch. We found that middle ground with "Be My Baby" - the song falls somewhere in between trend and retro.

Yoo Bin: "Be My Baby" is not our usual retro music, but it is fresh with a retro touch to it. It's a very soulful and uptempo song, but at the same time it has a 60's style retroness to it. The outfits also follow the same concept. We made a change by adding leather, but polka dots kept a retro foundation. We got a lot of help from Beyonce's choreographer and Katy Perry's stylist.

Rumor # 4: Wonder Girls Can't Sing Live

After music, fans demand live performances. It is known that less vocally talented Sohee and Hye Lim are given little singing time, and main vocals Sun Ye and Ye Eun are known for their frequent off note incidents. People say that Wonder Girls are poor live performers.

Sohee: For this album we tried a lot of new things while dividing songs into parts. We decided to change things up and not follow the template we followed before. In "Be My Baby," I sing more than four lines during the introduction, and it is the same for Hye Lim. There was a lot of pressure, and we had a lot of difficulty with some parts of the song, but I developed a sense of responsibility and it was a chance for me to practice a lot more vocally. Fans can be sure to expect a lot of things from our activities.

Sun Ye: We tried hard to produce our own sound. We tried a new soulful and fresh singing method. When you listen you might think the new sound comes from higher notes or the increase in ad-libs, but it is actually from a more relaxed and comfortable style that we adapted.

Rumor # 5: Wonder Girls are Outdated

Although there are great expectations for the girls on one side, there are also those that are more cynical. There is talk that Wonder Girls are out of season. Because of spending time in America, many fans have slowly started to forget about the Wonder Girls.

Hye Lim and Yoo Bin: Waiting two years is a long time. So we wanted to make a comeback that filled in all of the empty spots that fans developed during the wait. We satisfied from the fact that people are happy and excited after hearing our music. We also plan to appease fans and become closer to them by trying our best and participating on music programs and variety shows.

Sohee and Sun Ye: There is a benefit to having been gone for such a long time. We can comeback with an outlook of a new comer. It feels exactly like the days when we got nervous from seeing the red light on the camera go on. We see it as an opportunity to grab people's hearts. Our goal is to give a positive influence under the name "Wonder Girls." Every day has a beginning and an end, and we still have a long ways to go.

YG Family Runs Specially Designed Train in Seoul

YG Entertainment’s specially designed subway in Seoul, called the “YG Family Train,” has been garnering a lot of attention lately. From November 5, the New Bundang subway line, which runs from the satellite city Bundang to downtown Seoul, decorated several cars with YGE artists such as Big Bang, 2NE1, Psy, and Tablo. The special trains were designed to commemorate the “15th Anniversary YG Family Concert” scheduled for December 5 and 6.
The “YG Family Train” has separate cars named after each of their artists, such as the “Big Bang Car” or “2NE1 Car.” The trains are covered with photos of YG artists and has several LCD screens placed inside, playing clips of YGE’s Family Concert ad, Big Bang’s “Tonight,” 2NE1’s “I Am the Best,” Tablo’s “Tomorrow” and interview.
The “YG Family Train” will run for a month until December 4. The “15th Anniversary YG Family Concert” will be held on December 3 and 4 in Seoul. The second round of tickets go on sale from November 9.

YG Entertainment Talks Future Plans: New Boy Band and Girl Group to Debut Next Year

YG Entertainment made it official on November 8 that they have a new boy band and girl group waiting for debut next year. At a press conference held to address the label’s public listing on the KOSDAQ (Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations) stock market, the CEO of YGE, Yang Min Suk, said the company currently has two idol bands in training that are expected to be the next Big Bang and 2NE1.
The CEO said YGE has 32 trainees right now. The new girl group will only be comprised of members under 20 years old and is scheduled to debut in the first half of next year. Their new boy group, however, will be revealed in the second half of 2012.
Yang Min Suk also said YGE will open at least two more offices in the Greater China region. Much like their recent joint project, “YGEX,” with Japanese music label AVEX, YGE is looking to beef up their overseas business units.
“The Asian market (excluding Japan) is smaller than Korea in terms of music sales, but it’s a lucrative market for concerts and live events. Our strategy is to enhance our artists’ value through concerts and move from there,” Yang Min Suk said.
He also acknowledged the need for stronger crisis management skills following an array of negative incidents involving some of their top artists. As a result, YGE has recently formed a separate risk management team to take care of all negative publicity and damage to their overall brand.
He didn’t specify Big Bang’s comeback date as he even declined to answer if the group would ever return at all. But regardless of Big Bang, he sounded confident in YGE’s business for next year, as he said, “Even our most conservative estimates tell us we’ll make 100 billion won ($100 million USD) next year.”
“We’re also planning to hold at least three Japanese concerts with more than 150,000 people coming. Our newest artist Tablo has just released his new album too. We’ll continue to expand our artist lineup to diversify our revenue source,” he said.
This raises the possibility of seeing Mnet “Superstar K2” contestant Kang Seung Yoon in their new boy band. In September, YGE said Kang Seung Yoon would debut with a group next year, with the possibility of doing some solo activities as well.
YG Entertainment’s two leading idol groups, Big Bang and 2NE1, each debuted in 2006 and 2009, respectively, and have enjoyed massive success as some of the most talented artists in the industry.

Airport Fashion: SNSD vs Kara vs T-ara

Airport fashion gives us a glimpse at a star's true fashion.
Three of Korea's top girl groups, SNSD, Kara, and T-ara, all have different tastes, if you look at their airport fashion. SNSD has a chic look while Kara goes for casual, while T-ara likes being unique.

On November 8 at Kimpo Airport, SNSD, Kara, and T-ara were seen leaving the country for China and Japan. SNSD is traveling to China for the Thirteenth Korea/China Music Festival, while Kara and T-ara are flying over to the Tokyo Saitama for the Seoul Tokyo Music Festival. Local media Dispatch analyzed the three groups' different styles.

Let's start off with SNSD, who just recently finished performing in New York for the SM Town Concert. SNSD members always dress in chic clothes. Soo Young, Sunny, Tiffany, and Taeyeon looked charismatic in black jackets and pants, while Seo Hyun and Yuri went with belted jackets. Seo Hyun had a black checkered coat and Yuri chose a beige caramel. Yoona looked clean cut in a simple knit sweater with black jeans. Here we can see that oversized sunglasses and big bags, along with lace-up boots are SNSD staples.




Next is Kara's comfortable casual style, emphasizing its members' cute charm. Looking cozy, Goo Hara wore a big sweater with a pleated mini skirt. Her white framed sunglasses make her eye area pop. Nicole chose the popular long cardigan-denim look, while Seung Yeon and Ji Young wore peacoats with jeans or leggings. Overall, Kara is reminiscent of college students.



Finally, we have T-ara's style, which overflows with individuality. Hyomin paired a navy ribbon hat with a skirt of the same color and a grey cardigan. Qri wore a comfy zip-up hoodie that had leopard prints. Jiyeon, the youngest member of T-ara, was seen wearing a fedora and patterned scarf.



All three girl groups gave excellent "fan service." SNSD nodded their head in appreciation with small hand waves. Kara smiled big for their fans, like always. Hara showed how happy she was to see her fans by waving both hands in the air, and T-ara members also flashed smiles.

U-Kiss, C.N. Blue, SISTAR, Secret, Jay Park and others will be attending the Thirteenth Korean/China Music Festival. Kara and T-ara, along with FT Island, Kim Kyu Jong, MBLAQ, and Dalshabet, will be attending the Seoul Tokyo Music Festival.

JYJ's Jaejoong Compared to Robert Pattinson in Italian Magazine

JYJ's Jaejoong has appeared in an Italian magazine alongside English actor Robert Pattinson.
Recently on an online community posted a page from an Italian magazine comparing the two international figures. A blown up picture from the DBSK "Mirotic" days reveals a loosely clad Jaejoong showing off his sculpted abdominal muscles, grabbing the attention of many female readers.

The Italian word for "beautiful" is "bello," however under Jaejoong's picture is written in big bold font "bellissimi." This term means "extremely beautiful" and is used to define the best of the best looking males, giving a glimpse at the amount of popularity that Jaejoong holds in the country.
Netizens have responded: "Even people in Italy know Jae Joong? That's crazy" "A face that's recognized internationally" "Why is only Jaejoong's picture that big?" "Yay Jaejoong! He came out in a French magazine before, and now Italy?"

[Update] Rain an Expert in Shooting: A Hidden Sniper?

Update
According to tvReport, Rain has been selected to become the assistant instructor for Division 5 in the Recruit Training Center.

Due to his excellent shooting skills, he was chosen to become the assistant instructor for his division.

After beginning his training on October 11 in Division 5, Rain will finish his time at the training center on November 18. After that he will go through executive education from the Second Recruit Training Center, then will officially start his military service on December 9.

--
On October 11, Rain joined the army as an active-duty soldier and now is being loved for his expertise in shooting.
According to the report submitted on November 6 by the National Assembly Defense Committee, Rain hit the bulls eye 19 out of 20 during daytime training and 10 out of 10 shots during nighttime training on October 26, achieving a hundred percent in shooting.
Before Rain, Hyun Bin (Kim Tae Pyeong, 29) also achieved the same scores, 19 out of 20 and 10 out of 10, and was called an "Expert Shooter."
In order to pass, a soldier-in-training needs to have an accuracy of 60% or higher. With daytime training, 18 shots out of 20 or higher, and in nighttime training, 9 out of 10 bulls eye hit is considered a perfect score. Along with passing his first time, he is now entitled an "Expert."
Out of 140 soldiers-in-training, 98 passed with 60% or higher accuracy. Among those who passed, Rain was in the Top 3. On November 14, Rain is to finish his training at the Training Center. Even though he is not even out of his training period, he is already wanted by the Air Force and the Marines.

SNSD Eats More than Super Junior?

SNSD appeared on SBS “Strong Heart” on November 8 and addressed rumors surrounding their infamous “SNSD Diet Plan.” Despite consistent denials from SNSD, the rumored diet plan – comprised of few pieces of broccoli, vegetables, chicken breast, and brown rice – has garnered massive attention for the small amount of food and calorie consumption.
Yuri started off by saying the “SNSD Diet Plan,” which had the group consume only 1,500 kcal per day, was the most frustrating rumor they heard as a group. She said the members initially thought the rumor meant “1,500 kcal per meal.”
Tiffany added, “I think we often eat 3,000 kcal for a single meal. Our managers tell us, ‘Your (SNSD’s) food expenses are higher than Super Junior’s!”

Lee Seung Ki followed up by asking whether SNSD munches on late-night snacks. Yuri shared a story of getting fried chicken delivered in less than 15 minutes. One day, Kara’s Goo Hara called Jessica and asked if the chicken SNSD sponsors were any good (SNSD is the model for “Gubne Chicken”). That prompted the girls to have chicken that night, so they called a local “Gubne Chicken” store. However, “Gubne” said the delivery would take at least an hour because of other orders.

SNSD, who was too hugry to wait another hour, called back and told the owner, “We’re SNSD.” But the owner didn’t believe the girls and just hung up on them. The girls got mad (they’re the main model of “Gubne” after all!) and called back the owner again. This time, however, all the girls gathered around the phone, and sang the main theme song of the “Gubne Chicken” commercial over the phone. After hearing the impromptu live performance, the shocked owner of “Gubne” delivered the fried chicken within 15 minutes!
Here’s the full video of Yuri’s story (3:49-7:24). We’re also attaching the video of their “Guben Chicken” commercial in the bottom, so find out what song they sang for the owner!
