Rain Wins Lawsuit Over Cancelled US Concerts

A South Korean court Thursday dismissed a lawsuit claiming almost four million dollars from singer and actor Rain, ruling he was not to blame for cancelled concerts during a troubled US tour.

Local entertainment group Wellmade STARM sued Rain and his agency JYP Entertainment in March last year for 4.57 billion won (3.95 million dollars) in damages.

The group, which financed Rain’s US tour in 2006-2007, claimed he breached a contract with it by failing to perform 16 concerts.

Judge Bae Kwang-Kuk said in his ruling, quoted by Yonhap news agency, that poor preparations by US promoters led to Rain’s aborted concerts.

The ruling came seven months after Rain settled a separate lawsuit over a cancelled concert in Honolulu in 2007.

A US court had ordered him and his agency to pay more than eight million dollars for breaching a contract with Hawaiian promoter Click Entertainment to perform the concert.

An agreement was reached last June to settle the case and avoid an appeal, Details were not disclosed.

Rain argued in the US case that the concert stage was not properly set up for him, and that he was unable to use his name in the United States because of a copyright challenge from a US Beatles tribute band also called Rain.

The 26-year-old singer, whose real name is Jung Ji-Hoon, is one of South Korea’s biggest celebrities and has a big following across Asia.

IRIS’s Kim Hye Jin is seven years older than she claimed?

Kim Hye Jin, who was in IRIS, stole the hearts of many Korean men; some say she’s prettier than costar Kim Tae Hee. But some might have to reconsider, because she’s actually thirty-five years old!

A representative from her company said, “Kim Hye Jin was born in 1975. She found our company very late, as she was doing all her activites by herself. This caused a problem with her age. We thought that we had to reveal this someday, as we wanted it to naturally come out on television.”

The actress’s profile stated her birthdate as February 28th, 1982, which put her at twenty-eight.

The representative then continued, “We didn’t have a chance to reveal this on national television. We then received a great chance, as she was cast on a morning show. But even then, that segment was cut out.”

Meanwhile, Kim Hye Jin is currently working on Shin Dong Yup’s Sweet Night as an MC.

Wow, I never thought she could be that old… Do you guys think that she looks 35?

[BreakingNews] GDragon exposes his feelings on the concert issue

GDragon had many labels in the past, some good and some bad. Big Bang’s leader. The youngest boy who was participating in HipHop albums by the age of 13. One of the top 8 composers that shined in 2008. Placing first in all possible music charts with his solo album. 2009’s greatest selling record. Plagiarism issues. Known for interesting fashion. And the most recent one, concert issues.

There had been a set of associated words with GDragon. However, he was the boy that went on along his way without any rest in the music world, but there will always be the critics commenting on his actions. Through an interview, we learned about what kind of a path he kept on going from that one little boy to a star that is loved by many people.

People who are close to GDragon say that he is “very detailed and trustworthy.” So detailed that he would check daily on every single detail of his album and watch the concert stage from the 3rd floor to make sure that his fans wouldn’t miss out on a thing. A person like that was slammed down on his first concert. It was all because of the sexy performance he displayed during his own song, ‘Breathe.’

GDragon stated, “I believe that since I am a singer for the public, I know that it is right for the public to judge me. No matter what I was trying to show, it was my fault if it [the concert] was disturbing and high level. I was only trying to show a stronger appearance because it wasn’t a public show, but a concert performance. I’m really sad that the response was different from what I expected.” While he was preparing his first concert, he was excited. Since the age of 13 entering YG Entertainment, this was the stage he was dreaming about for 10 years. He pondered on the videos to show, and explored each section of the audience seats to view how the stage would look from there. Big Bang’s stages also made him excited, but this solo concert that had his own name on it as a single singer meant the world to him.

“Seriously, I don’t know even remember how hard I rose up to this level for my solo concert. I might be saying this because I’m still young, but really when this concert ended, I really thought to myself, ‘I would want nothing else more.’” But, when I turned on the internet the next day, my heart crashed to see only the parts of concert torn apart with the issues.” He confessed that he faced sadness as a singer when he realized that the performances that he worked hard on was torn apart and that one cut represented his whole concert. Was it to much for him to show different sides of him to the audience that couldn’t easily access the concert?

“Instead of tears, fake laugh came out as I thought, ‘will I be cursed so that anywhere I go, I get bashed at?’” I didn’t want it to go this far. I just wanted to show my fans the different sides. In the performances I showed cute sides, and handsome sides, but why did it only get cut into this part? All the news paper articles had that strong word in them, and I was embrassed and sad that my parents might see these articles that only had one side to them.” He added on, “My thinking was short. However I just wish that people wouldn’t criticise me just for that one section. The song ‘Breathe’ in general is about not wanting to wake up from a dream because my ideal woman appears in them. Because of those lyrics I had a bed on stage and showed that I was searching my dreams. But the final product the public saw was, ”sex demonstration.” I was shocked and thought, ‘I’m not this, but I guess this is how I look to the people,’ realizing it then.”

He finally added, “Whether I get praised at, or slammed at, I think that is proof that the public is showing interests toward me. I have to understand the fact that telling me what part I did wrong helps me to improve in the future. The way I could he accepted and win praises is to do better on the next album. This once again reminded me that I have to do my best on the Big Bang album coming out this year.”

Lee Da-hae: “I dated one of my co-stars”

Chuno’s current leading lady Lee Da-hae will be on an upcoming episode of KBS’s show Sweet Night [달콤한 ë°¤], which she already recorded. In the appearance, she admits that she dated one of her past co-stars, and although she didn’t identify him by name, she explained, “I have dated one of my co-stars in real life. We broke up in October 2008. However, the scandals that have come up have all been with surprising people.”

My first guess would have been her My Girl co-star Lee Dong-wook, but since there was pretty wide speculation about them, her statement seems to contradict that. She also discounts her more recent scandal with Kang Ji-hwan, which she says arose because they happened to meet while both were in Thailand, which got exaggerated as a couple’s vacation. My other guess would be her other My Girl co-star Lee Jun-ki; if not, I suppose it could also be (sob) Go Soo, but I’d guess it was someone earlier in her career. (The breakup pre-dates East of Eden, Robbers co-star Jang Hyuk was in a long-term relationship, I don’t really see her with Hello Miss’s Lee Ji-hoon, and it wasn’t Lee Dong-gun since he dated co-star Han Ji-hye out of Sweet 18…) Let the wild speculations begin.

Lee Da-hae’s appearance will air on the January 24 broadcast of Sweet Night.

Behind the scenes with 2PM and Yoon Eun Hye for Cass Beer

Remember the commercials for Cass Beer featuring 2PM’s Taecyeon and Nichkhun along with the beautiful Yoon Eun Hye? Well, it seems there’s some more commercials in store for us as 2PM’s Wooyoung and Junsu were recently spotted on the set of an upcoming Cass Beer CF along with the original trio.

MBC’s Section TV
also interviewed the participants of the CF. Unfortunately, the other members of 2PM couldn’t join in on the fun as they’re under the legal age of consuming alcohol.

The best part of the segment below is when Junsu spills beer on Yoon Eun Hye and the 2PM boys have to clean up the mess. Junsu felt bad and apologized in a quiet voice afterwards. Taecyeon also stated that he drinks a lot of beer but Nichkhun responds that he can’t drink a lot. Taecyeon pushes him and Junsu says to stop kidding around. Nichkhun again says that he can’t drink a lot and that he can only drink about 10 bottles. Check out the interview below and thanks to my2PMbabiies for the tip.

The episode focused on “hoonnam” or handsome men around the world. While the men on the show were beating their chests about how charming they were, one guy drew the ladies’ attention. He was Jing Chi.

In the genes: Brother handsome but sister ain't pretty?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

The host of the show asked Khay Inn, “Do people say Jing Chi is handsome?”

She replied: “Yes, many people say so. Sometimes, I hear people go ‘Wow, that guy is cute!’ upon seeing him at campus and I would proudly say ‘He is my brother.’”

The host then asked Jing Chi, “Do people also say that your sister is pretty?” He made everyone laugh by replying “No”.

Chit Chat of Beautiful Ladies is struggling with low ratings after a controversial episode on Dec 6. One of its Korean guests said that “guys under 180cm are losers”.

CNBLUE is #1 on ALL music charts


Rookie Indie band, CNBLUE, has officially killed off every other competitor on music charts.

It has only been a week since their debut with Im a Loner, but the song is now number one on all online sales charts. Their album, BLUETORY, is also number one on offline album sales charts like Hanteo. The group has said “It hasn’t been long since we came out, we are definitely surprised.”

Not only that, but after their debut performance on Music Bank, the song has reached the #1 spot on ALL music charts. Every single one of them. This is a hard feat, even for top groups. The song is definitely a new style in Korea, and it’s very addicting.

Newsen has interviewed the group and asked “Don’t you guys want to dance looking at idol groups?” They responded “Dancing is scary. Even though it shows off charisma, we are just not good enough to do it as our job.” The drummer, Kang Min Hyuk was then asked “Aren’t you dissapointed that you aren’t on camera during live performances?” He answered, “Not even a bit. Since the drum is the loudest and the center of all the instruments, I take on more responsibility to do better.”

Each member then said something different.

Lee Jung Shin (bass) said, “You guys learn dancing because of idol groups, right? After looking at us, we hope you guys learn instruments such as guitar now.” Lee Jong Hyun (guitar) said, “We are definitely not perfect at our instruments. Our goal is to hear people say we’ve improved.” Kang Min Hyuk (drums) said, “Being in a band was my dream.” And finally, Jung Yong Hwa (leader) said, “I’ve never thought about having to dance.”

They also showed of their dissapointment on not being able to do full-live performances on music programs. Jung Yong Hwa said, “You can only feel our charm when our whole band is playing live,” showing off their confidence.

Finally, they ended the interview saying “We are worried because people have high expectations of us now, due to getting #1 on all the charts. We will work even harder to show you guys our growth.”

I have a strong feeling that this group can make a huge change in k-pop.

Kim Hyun Joong’s getting bashed and he’s pissed

kimhyunjoong_20100118_seoulbeats

Korean media reported that on the evening of the 18th SS501 leader Kim Hyun Joong attended the 80th Birthday Party of former Korean President Chun Doo Hwan and the sh*t hit the fan. Netizens and the media a flurry writing stories and blogs and sending bashes to Hyun Joong. So what’s the big deal? It so happens that Chun Doo Hwan is one of the most despised former Presidents of Korea, I won’t go into detail, but if you’re interested check it out here.

After the media reported that Hyun Joong attended the party, he started to be bombarded by posts bashing him for attending the event. Hyun Joong’s entertainment company DSP Entertainment’s initial statement said that they had no idea why it was being reported that Hyun Joong was at the party, but when various media said they had proof he was there, DSP changed their response. Apparently the whole situation pissed off Hyun Joong so much he left a VERY strongly worded response (which among other things said that he had no choice in going there and didn’t even know the guy and didn’t like being involved in politics) on his home page that got taken down. In their later statement, DSP said that Hyun Joong was with DSP CEO Lee Ho Yeon before going to a dinner with the other members of SS501 (except Jung Min who had schedule conflicts) when Lee Ho Yeon got a last minute ‘call’ and took Hyun Joong to the birthday party (some articles claimed that the CEO is friends with Chun). They said that Hyun Joong only paid his respects then left. Hmm, I wonder if the former president is a fan? Or maybe his wife, or a daughter, or granddaughter?

Hyun Joong’s second response to the whole situation, while not as bad as his first post, is still said to be strongly worded (what secret password do I need to see these things- wait no, I don’t want to know, wait yes, I do, I’m sooo torn). It’s to the point that all Triple S refuse to repost it because they don’t want antis to get a hold of it and blow up the situation any further. In my opinion, DSP’s CEO should’ve known better than to take Hyun Joong there, I guess he hoped to just sneak him in and out. He might not have had much of the choice if he was ‘asked’ to bring Hyun Joong there (the dude was a former President and his party was filled with politicians and military types so…).

Hyun Joong’s popularity sky-rocketed after being on We got Married and Boys Over Flowers, so any news about him is HUGE. It’s unfortunate that he was put into this predicament. Tripe S-ers have already started a campaign to cheer up Hyun Joong over this whole situation, aawww. You know what’s scarier than a former dictator? Hordes of pissed fangirl netizens protecting their idol, so watch out. The Korean media has already decided NOT to expose their ‘proof’ that Hyun Joong was at the party (reportedly pics of him shaking Chun’s hand) due to the ‘request’ of his fans. I’m a fan of Hyun Joong (JoongBo, fighting!) and I hope that “this too shall pass…” There are more important things going on in the world right now than bashing some poor idol who got put in a bad situation he had no control over.

Lee Junki can’t save Hero

Popular young actor Lee Junki just ended his run as star in the MBC drama Hero. The drama aired it’s final episode on January 14th, 2010. To commemorate the ending, Lee Junki gathered with more than 300 fans for a special fan meeting at the COEX Mall’s Megabox theater in Seoul to watch the final episode together. Unfortunately, the final episode suffered poor ratings with a 4.7 share according to TNS Media Korea.

The show had a dedicated following albeit small, it had the misfortune of going up against 30+ share juggernaut IRIS and other popular dramas such as Will It Snow for Christmas? and Chuno. Hero is slated to be replaced by Woman Who Still Wants To Marry starring Kim Bum and Park Jin Hee.

Lee Junki isn’t quite out of the woods yet. On January 16th, Lee Junki’s Japanese Fan Club has a special trip planned to Seoul where Lee Junki will once again watch the last episode together with the Japanese fans.

Poor ratings is bad news for the young prince but hopefully he’ll have better material to work with in the near future.
