Group 2AM's Jung Jinwoon was confirmed lately for having swine flu.



On the 6th, a person close of 2AM said that when Jo Kwon was confirmed for swine flu, Jinwoon also had swine flu.

Fortunately, Jinwoon went for treatment with Jo Kwon that day and recovered from swine flu, not letting his team down in the schedules laid out for them. Especially with finals right around the corner, he is studying at a healthy state.

After hearing the confirmation of swine flu of Jo Kwon, fans were very sad but it is said that Jo Kwon will be back on broadcast at a healthier state. Currently on the show MBC 'We Got Married,' with Brown Eyed Girls' Ga In as a fake married couple, Jo Kwon cancelled all schedules upon hearing of swine flu.

On the other hand, 2AM's magnae Jinwoon is a fixed guest on MBC 'We Got Married' with 2AM member Im Seulong. Also, on the 7th is when SBS ETV 'Idol Magnae Rebellion Generation' will be broadcasted as he will reveal his hidden talents.

Mods, the original article wasn't linked to on 2OD. ):

The beastly idol group 2PM's first official album's title track 'Heartbeat' is sweeping the kpop charts.

On the 10th, music site 'Monkey3' showed that 'Heartbeat' immediately took first rank the minute of its reveal. Many are showing attention to this feat as 2PM has yet to hold their official comeback stage and managed to land such a high place on the chart.

Not only 'Heartbeat' but 'Tired of Waiting' and 'I was crazy for you' have also been holding their solidified positions in the charts upon reveal, making many express feelings of amazement.

Monkey3 stated "With the revealing of the first two tracks, many have been anticipating 2PM's first album. It seems as if 2PM will be resurrecting the popularity of boy bands once again."

'Heartbeat' is a track with an addictive hook and an old school style rap that also adds in an orchestra, creating a dynamic track produced by Park Jinyoung.

2PM will be holding their comeback on the 13th at 6:40PM on KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank.'

My favorite song on the album on the acoustic version of Only You. So good~

Singer K.Will (28; real name: 김형수) 2nd single, “Hypnotism” has been decided by KBS not to be broadcast on their music show (KBS Music Bank). Their main reason to reject this song is because in the songlyrics, there is a phrase, ‘dumb’ that can be a sensitive issue to referring people with disabilities. KBS then decided to give a no-go for this song to be aired on their broadcasting network.

They were going to perform “Hypnotism” with featured rapper, Outsider as K.Will’s 2nd album 2nd single candidate. Alas, they have to make another decision as to pick another song to replace. According to K.Will’s management company, they said, “We have no intention of disrespect those with disabilities. The song doesn’t express the emotion of love itself as a metaphor for being ‘dumb’.” Thus, they have made a promise to take care of this issue with careful consideration.

I found them on Bestiz, but that's obviously not the original source.

Melon.com recently did an evaluation on the current most popular Kpop girl groups. See what 'grade' did each one get!



A group with a somewhat familiarized concept, T-ara: B

T-ara was known for the song "A Good Person" before they debuted, and then came out with the song "Lies" as well as "T.T.L." and "T.T.L Listen 2" with Supernova. Up until "Lies" the concept wasn't anything new. The songs, style, and choreography were a general mass of cliches. While other groups were striving to break the mold, T-ara was outwardly cliched. The result was just not as good as their input.

Who is Charlie? No, Charlie is not a gun on Iris. Big Bang member TOP must have felt a little left out of the picture when he saw fellow members' dogs Gaho (G-Dragon) and Boss (Taeyang) as he has recently welcomed a little friend of his own into the Big Bang's puppy family.

Film won two other awards at 46th annual event

SEOUL – “The Divine Weapon,” a martial arts action by Kim Yu-jin, won the Best Picture at Korea’s 46th Grand Bell Prize Film Award, an annual film prize handed out Friday.

Kim Myung-min won Best Actor for his performance as a Lou Gehrig's Disease patient in Park Jin-pyo’s “Closer to Heaven”; Su Ae, the heroine from “Sunny” set in the Vietnam War, won the Best Actress Award. Best Director went to Kim Yong-hwa of “Take Off,” which also won the Best Cinematography Award.

Humorless, preposterous, and soaked in blood, "Ninja Assassin" turns out to be thinly-plotted schlock from a team of pedigree filmmakers who should have known better. "The day Rain did his first scene in 'Speed Racer,' the Wachowski brothers called me and said 'This guy is unbelievable. He's a natural, our dream come true.' We began to plan 'Ninja Assassin' immediately afterward," producer Joel Silver said in an earlier interview.

Unfortunately for "world star" Rain, what was to be his breakout film falls way short of what "Enter the Dragon" was for Bruce Lee. No doubt that was what the Wachowski Brothers were aiming to do by gambling on a relative unknown in the Western world.

Woohoo, so excited! I hope this will make wait for his full album release a bit easier.

The following video clip (watch here) and interview caught the cast of You’re Beautiful in a rare spare moment as they filmed busily — time is scarce and it looks like they’re in the thick of live-shooting by this point, with just three more weeks left till the series wraps. The cast also seems unusually close and always in good humor, based on the behind-the-scenes clips that have been released.

In the clip, Park Shin-hye starts by explaining the cast’s nicknames for each other (which are explained in more detail below), and then starts reciting one of her lines when Lee Hong-ki appears. Hong-ki takes over and imitates one of Mi-nam’s lines from the scene in Episode 1 where she’s drunk at the party, and Shin-hye acts Jeremy’s part. Jung Yong-hwa arrives and Shin-hye recites his line from the Towel Scene. And then everyone imitates Jang Geun-seok.

They only sleep one to two hours a night and are wrestling with last-minute script pages, but the You’re Beautiful team was asked for a short interview. The clock read 1:30 am. The reason the interview went longer than asked is because of those unstoppable “pretty boys.” At times serious, at times playful, their moonlit chatter doesn’t stop. This is the unstoppable relay between Jang Geun-seok, Park Shin-hye, Lee Hong-ki, and Jung Yong-hwa.

"Jaebum, he will return."

Park Jinyoung reveals return plans for the first time on the show "Mureuppak."

Airing on the 11th, MBC's 'Mureuppak Dosa,' Park Jinyoung carefully revealed plans on bringing Jaebum back.

A JYPE representative said "He revealed the drawing of Jaebum's return a little bit. You may consider it as an upgrade to the responses he's been giving about the Jaebum case. It's not a response that just plainly states the recent conditions but rather a response to the fans. We expect for the curiosity of the fans to be at least a little bit helped."

This is the first time that Park Jinyoung and JYPE spoke out about the Jaebum case. The fact that Park Jinyoung is working on making Jaebum's return a reality is causing much attention.

What fans are more interested in is the level of progress that Park Jinyoung has made on Jaebum's return. Park Jinyoug has yet to announce any details. He merely stated that a 6 membered 2PM is the direction that Jaebum wants and asked of fans to understand.

The producers of were asked how much they will actually reveal. "We're in a bit of an awkward situation. Regardless, we will not make any cuts to the show and air it as is, with everything Park Jinyoung said regarding Jaebum's return."
