Lee Minho laughs off Shindong’s twitter apology

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 12:07 PM PDT

In an interview with Entertainment Relay, Lee Minho speaks out about Super Junior’s Shindong and his Twitter apology to him…

Shindong apologized on Twitter after testing out an online application for face recognition that suggested his lookalike to be Lee Minho. When asked if he knew about this story, Lee Minho smiled and replied "it was funny – why is he sorry though?"

I’m not sure which ‘face recognition’ program Shindong used, but he doesn’t come close to Lee Minho, no matter how hard I squint my eyes… Do you see a resemblance between the two?

FT Island vs. SHINee vs. B2ST

Posted: 11 Oct 2010 11:08 AM PDT

FT Island, SHINee, and B2ST went head to head not on stage, but on the game screen.

On October 10, 2010, Jong-hoon of FT Island revealed two pictures above on his twitter with a caption stating “Min-ho representing SHINee, Hong-ki representing FT Island, and Doo-joon representing B2ST! Who will win?”.

In the first picture to the left, Hong-ki and Min-ho are competing against each other with the game controllers in their hands and serious looks on their faces.

In the second picture, Hong-ki is playing against Doo-joon. Besides the people playing the game, Tae-min from SHINee who is watching them from the sidelines seems to be nervously anticipating the outcome of the game, as well.

Many fans have expressed curiosity as to what game they played and who won. Some fans of SHINee also noted that Min-ho has his competitive face (the one he displayed a lot in KBS “Dream Team Season 2“) on.

It is just nice to see the male idol stars from competitive groups get along with each other so well.

Ga-in released the dance version of her “Irreversible” music video today!

Recently,her “bare legs” performances on various music shows has become a hot issue. Just like her stage performance, this dance version music video shows how she expressed her passion and inner feelings through tango dance with hot male dancers in the middle of desert.

Despite her petite frame, I think she carried out the dance very well.

the cold!

The cast of the KBS drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal“, which has established a solid mania fan base, has been battling with the cold autumn weather. With shooting locations in the countryside away from the cities, many of the cast members have also been tired from all the traveling.
