RaNia reveals MV teaser for “Pop Pop Pop”

RaNia is just hours away from releasing their 2nd mini-album, and to whet fans’ appetites, they’ve revealed the MV teaser for their title track, “Pop Pop Pop“.
It looks like they’ve stepped away from their ultra-sexy concept for “Dr. Feel Good” and “Masquerade“, opting for a safer, more K-Pop-friendly image this time around. Still, they managed to hold onto that saucy swagger they’ve now become famous for with some seductive dance moves.
Check out their MV teaser below, and stay tuned for the full releases later on!

Tablo on YG Entertainment: “They’re like my family”

On November 15th, rapper Tablo expressed his thoughts on the welcoming atmosphere of his new agency, YG Entertainment.
Tablo guested on a special episode of KBS Joy’s “Lee Sora’s Second Project” this week, where he revealed, “My wife Kang Hye Jung is signed under YG. In a sense, they’re like my real family. There is a huge difference between the surface image of YG and what it’s really like on the inside.”
He continued, “From the outside, there was a sense of coldness because all the artists have so much charisma. I thought it’d be hard to approach them, but they’re all actually very warm and fun. I’m the maknae right now, but YG has been so good to me that I’m adjusting well.”
During the show, Tablo also performed numerous tracks including “Tomorrow” alongside Big Bang‘s Taeyang.

Interesting Photos of Big Bang's Daesung Surface

It has been a busy and exciting time for Big Bang lately, especially Daesung. It hasn’t been long since the group returned from their trip to Europe, coming together (unofficially) as five once again. The trip has ignited hopes of seeing more of Daesung and the rest of Big Bang real soon.
Recently a few interesting photos of Daesung have surfaced on the Internet. As soon as they were discovered they have been spreading like wildfire across the Web. The photos show a side of Daesung which is rarely seen by the public. They display a fit and well-toned Daesung donning a costume and mask in various poses.  The images appear to be for promotional purposes, but the question is for what exactly?

A similar image had been spotted by fans sometime last year, back when Daesung was filming for his upcoming drama, “What’s Up.” There were enormous posters emblazoned with Daesung’s image which adorned the building where supposedly filming was taking place for the said drama. Even a ticket for a performance with the title of “Hades” was uncovered.  The title matches that on the larger-than-life posters of Daesung. All of these items were believed to be props for a future episode of “What’s Up,” where Daesung appears to be playing the role of the title character in a musical.




Whatever the images might be for, he sure looks good doing it. The photos have created quite the hype amongst fans for the new drama’s debut. “What’s Up” is said to begin airing in December on MBN.

Lee Byung Hun confirmed for historical drama, “King of Chosun”

Top star Lee Byung Hun (41) will tackle his first historical drama.
On November 14th, Lee Byung Hun’s agency BH Entertainment put rumors to rest when they confirmed that the star has signed on for ‘King of Chosun‘.
Lee Byung Hun’s agency stated, “‘King of Chosun’ is a very famous scenario in the movie industry, so it was one that many had their eyes on. A casting offer was made, so after reviewing it carefully, Lee Byung Hun decided to accept the offer.”
This production is based off of Mark Twain’s popular story, ‘The Prince and the Pauper‘, only with a historical Korean twist. Lee Byung Hun will play dual roles as ‘King Kwang Hae Goon’ and a peasant, who both look remarkably identical to one another.
At this time, there are rumors that ‘King of Chosun’ will cast ‘Sunny‘ actress Shim Eun Kyung for one of its more substantial roles. Shim Eun Kyung, however, has yet to make an official decision as she is currently studying abroad in the States.

Jo Kwon, Sulli, Kikwang step down as ‘Inkigayo’ MCs

Over the past months, the 4 MCs for SBS‘s ‘Inkigayo‘ – IU, Sulli, Kikwang, and Jo Kwon - have been doing a fine job carrying on the weekly music show broadcast. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and the popular hosts – save for IU – took their last bow as MCs on the latest episode of ‘Inkigayo’.
“I debuted through the SBS auditions, placed first on ‘Inkigayo’, and now I thank you for allowing me to have the honor of being an MC,” 2AM‘s Jo Kwon said.
“I thank the producers of ‘Inkigayo’,” f(x)‘s Sulli continued. “Please look forward to our activities in Japan.”
Although the trio will be leaving the show, that does not mean IU will have to carry the burden alone; KARA‘s Nicole and Goo Hara have already been selected as the new MCs and will carry on their duties starting next week. IU will continue her MC duties along with her expected comeback later this month.
