[Who Pops It Best?] Kim Nam-joo vs. Lee So-ra

Posted: 16 Oct 2010 10:30 PM PDT

Kim Nam-joo, actress known for her role in the MBC drama “Queen of Housewives“, and Lee So-ra, model and MC of “Project Runway Korea“, were spotted wearing the same dress at two different occasions.

Kim Nam-joo and Lee So-ra both chose a dress from Balmain‘s 2010 Fall/Winter Collection. Balmain‘s signature style of power shoulders can be seen in this dress, as well. From the power shoulders to the shiny fabric, the chosen dress actually seems more reminiscent of last fall’s style rather than this year’s simple and modern fall trend. Kim Nam-joo and Lee So-ra wore what they wanted to wear regardless of the current trend, proving that they are true fashionistas.

Kim Nam-joo wore the dress to the MBC “Queen of Reversal” press conference. The actress paired the dress with a vintage-looking chain necklance, earrings, and a diamond bracelet. Her hair looked like a voluminous bob from the 80s. It’s hard to believe that she had two kids already with a body that looks good in such a tight dress.

Different from Kim Nam-joo, Lee So-ra looked more like a female warrior from the future. She chose a metallic navy color for the dress and paired it up with layered chain necklaces and kill heel ankle boots. Lee So-ra also left her hair down in a natural and clean manner.

So, who popped it best?

Song Joong-ki apologizes to Yu-chun

Posted: 16 Oct 2010 09:44 PM PDT

Song Joong-ki, who is currently starring in the popular KBS drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal“, apologized to his fellow cast member, Park Yu-chun.

During a segment of KBS “Entertainment Relay“, Song Joong-ki stated, “Yeo-rim (his character in ”Sungkyunkwan Scandal“) is a natural playboy, so in order to portray this role, I learned by observing Yu-chun. Yu-chun, I am so sorry! I couldn’t help it in order to save myself!”

If Song Joong-ki really did learn to act like a natural playboy from Yu-chun, judging by his acting, he sure was successful. Don’t you think?

Is JYJ CJes Entertainment’s new band?

SM Entertainment thinks so!

SME claims JYJ (Jae-joong,Yoo-chun, and Jun-su) has signed a contract with CJes Entertainment even though they are still under contract with them. JYJ has advanced in their effort to end the injunction with their former company,but signing with a new agency would be illegal at this point.

A JYJ official stated:

“JYJ members do not have an exclusive contract with CJes Entertainment like SME or KFPCAI has claimed. CJes is simply a management / mediary that takes care of JYJ's activities and public relations work in Korea.”

Their Prain representative also stressed they have not signed an exclusive contract with CJes Entertainment.He was quoted saying,

“A misunderstanding must have occurred because 'agency' is still an unfamiliar term in Korea. After the oversea showcases are finished, we will reveal sufficient documents and evidence….This is something that has reviewed by the legal system. By law, there is no problem for JYJ's activities. We have confirmed that SME has no reasons to file an album sale prohibition injunction against JYJ.”

What do you think about the latest developments in the JYJ “The Beginning” Vs SM Entertainment?

Are E-Sens and So-yeon a couple?

Is this the beginning of a “Supreme T-ara“?

Supreme Team’s E-Sens and T-ara’s So-yeon are reported to be dating. The couple who are “online sweethearts” have supposedly had many of their dates via online chats. The two have also “secretly” met during group dates with their friends.

An entertainment industry representative stated:”Being in the same profession made their relationship that much more understanding.”

E-Sens has always been there to help So-yeon during her stressful and tiring moments as an artist.

Both T-ara and Supreme Team’s agencies will not confirm their relationship,but they admit the two are close. They also wish them well if the news about the couple is true.

What do you think about ”Supreme T-ara”?
