Xiah Junsu joins the cast of KBS “1 Night 2 Days”?

Posted: 04 Oct 2010 07:59 AM PDT

Can you see spot what is wrong with the picture above?

If you look closely, Xiah Junsu is sleeping on the floor with the members of KBS “1 Night 2 Days”, to the left of Lee Seung-gi. Is Xiah Junsu joining the cast of the popular entertainment program? Sadly, no.

Xiah Junsu was photoshopped into the captured image by netizens. Although he was photoshopped in, Xiah Junsu looks very natural sleeping next to the other members. Some fans are even stating that he should join the cast since MC Mong had to leave the show due to legal issues regarding his mandatory military service.

What do you think? Would Xiah Junsu fit in with the other members of KBS “1 Night 2 Days” or would his pretty-boy image overlap too much with Lee Seung-gi?

Jang Dong-gun and Ko So-young, widely known as South Korea’s “Brangelina” couple, became parents on October 4, 2010. Ko So-young gave birth to a healthy son weighing at 3.2 kilograms.

Jang Dong-gun has stated that he is happy that both his wife and son are in a healthy state and also expressed thanks to the fans for all their love and support.

Many netizens are already debating about the little boy’s looks, stating that with Jang Dong-gun and Ko So-young’s genes, their son is going to be one handsome kid.

According to the computer generated images generated prior to their son’s birth by netizens (like the one above), there really is no doubt that he is going to be one of the best-looking kids of his generation.

Go Joo-won’s nickname was Won Bin?

Posted: 04 Oct 2010 06:26 AM PDT

On October 2nd, Actor/Model Go Joo-won made a shocking confession in KBS 2TV “Star Golden Bell First Year First Class”.
Go Joo-won said that his nickname was the name of the popular actor“Won Bin” during his freshman year in Sogang University. He also mentioned that he was discovered by his manager on a bus.During the time he was scouted, “Autumn in My Heart” was the most popular Korean drama everywhere. His manager thought that he had the feeling of Won Bin. This is how he was brought into the entertainment industry.

He is not as popular as the hallyu star Won Bin, but Joo-won definitely has the potential to become the next hallyu star. Don't you think so?

Would you like “Tsunami” as much as “2NE1″?

Posted: 03 Oct 2010 08:16 PM PDT

YG Entertainment’s initial’s intention was not to name this wonderful group ’2NE1′, but had thoughts for other names like, “Tsunami” or "Yang-ssa's Children". How comical does that sound?

These girls admit that they are different off-stage and on. They are aggressive as they look on stage but are actually pretty soft and gentle when they are off-stage.

CL, the leader of 2NE1 says, “In 30 years, I hope that we age along with our music. We may be walking separate paths, but I'd love it if we could get together once in a while and hold a concert under the name of '2NE1.' No matter what we do, we won't be leaving music…”

We really wonder how a Tsunami song would sound like.
