Can you guess who this singer is?

This one’s a bit too easy, right?

If you said “JUNG YONGHWA!” right away, you are correct! It’s none other than CN Blue‘s leader Jung Yonghwa aka Seohyun’s hubby~

Past photos of Yonghwa have been released on the web with the title “Jung Yonghwa’s Past Photos.” The photos are a hot topic right now. Many are complimenting the fact that the flower boy hasn’t changed much since his high school days. Although his charisma that he shows off on stage is still “undeveloped,” the photos show off another side of Yonghwa: a smart looking-kid that still has his baby fats.

Netizens had only good things to say:

- “Even though there are so many past photos of Yonghwa, none of them are weird.”

- “He’s always been a handsome kid.”

- “Kinda looks older back than.”

Yonghwa really hasn’t changed besides the fact that he has matured. But other than that, I can’t stop laughing at his hairstyle in the second photo!

Why is the singer/actor so hot?

On September 8th,POPSEOUL! reported about Jung-min’s newest musical,however,we did not add the special treat for SS501 fans. Not only will you be able to see your favorite member on stage in Japan,you can follow his career/personal life online too. Does this sound a little stalkerish? Well, maybe,but the man himself is allowing you to peek into his life via Twitter and Facebook! So, I think just this one time…it will be alright!

Wedding photos from “Baker King”!

Posted: 08 Sep 2010 05:09 AM PDT

The MaYoo couple had their sweet wedding in KBS’s “Baker King, Kim Tak-gu“ which aired today, September 8.

Ma-joon (actor Joo Won) and Yoo-kyung (actress Eugene) are both the pathetic characters in the show. Their parents did good on their behalf nothing causing the two to end up staying together and desperate for revenge. Although the Ma-yoo couple didn't receive blessings from their family and friends, it's still going to be a beautiful wedding.

Do you think that this wedding fantasy will help “Baker King” achieve 50% of the viewership ratings?

Brown Eyed Soul releases new single with Han Hyo-joo!
