The girls of SNSD have released photos and an audio teaser for their upcoming third mini album. The concept is 1970′s, a very Charlie’s Angel-ish vibe…

Does this concept sound familiar? Should be, considering the Wonder Girls made their comeback with the very same concept with “2 Different Tears.”

It’s all good, the theme is similar but SNSD looks more polished:

Stay tuned, there are still 6 more girls who have yet to reveal their photos!

“2pm can fly”!

Posted: 18 Oct 2010 09:13 AM PDT

The message above is what Taec-yeon tweeted today in the Twittersphere about 2pm‘s honor at the MTV MMH 2010 AWARDS.

As all of you know, Taec-yeon loves his Twitter! What does he love more than twitter? Hotttests! The friendly Beast posted following the message to go along with his photo above:

“…Thank you for all the love and support!! With Hottests, 2PM can fly!!”

So,pretty men in alluring guyliner can fly too? Who knew guyliner gave you special powers? Gentlemen, make sure you think twice before passing up the cosmetic department.

Rain is obsessed…..

Posted: 18 Oct 2010 06:29 AM PDT

with gambling?

The “Fugitive Plan B” star is currently accused of being obsessed with gambling and refusing to repay a loan. Some have cigarettes and alcohol habits, Rain has his baccarat!

The singer/actor who has rented private planes and luxurious automobiles to allegedly make frequent trips to Las Vegas casinos in 2007 is now being sued by his former friend.

Andre Kim stated the following about his friendship and reason for this legal case:

"Rain loved Las Vegas. Whenever he came to visit me in LA, he always asked to go to Las Vegas. He would take his own private plane or even a limousine all the way down there…..He'd bet $1,000 or $2,000 USD at a time, and just begin throwing in $5,000 to $10,000 USD once he got angry. The day I let him borrow my money, he lost it all that night……He promised to pay it all back before his performances ended. The day I gave him the money was a Saturday in Korea, which is why he couldn't take money out of his own bank and had to ask me. I gave it to him in cash, which I have proof of….Three years have passed and he has yet to repay me."

Rain’s agency, J-Tune Entertainment, insist the allegations are not true and he does not have a gambling obsession.

They were quoted stating the following:

"Andrew Kim is an assiduous man who has filed a lawsuit since 2007 against Rain and was engaged in litigation against Rain's 2007 LA World Tour cancellation. Since the case has been disadvantageous to him, he is now resorting to these malicious allegations…..We are currently looking into ways to end this false claim and will counter sue for damages."

Whether or not the allegations are true, remains a mystery to us all. Personally, I think Mr. Kim is stretching the truth. Of course, Rain probably visited casinos in Vegas(authorities have proof he did), but to say he has a gambling problem or obsession might just be stretching it a bit.

What do you think? Do you think Mr. Kim’s allegations are true? Is he Rain or Mr. Vegas himself?

There is “No More” 2AM?

Their newest teaser has been released!

2AM’s comeback track “No More” (aka Nothing Left Now) is a ballad made for a drama! The band released an audio teaser for the new song and at one quick listen, you can already see the emotional drama setting. We think this should be added to an OST for an upcoming drama. Maybe “Mary Stay Out All Night?“

Listen to the teaser below and tell us what you visualize:

Eli is injured!

The Ukiss member Eli was rushed to the hospital this morning.

While Ukiss practiced their dance moves,Eli accidentally fell and fractured a bone in his right arm. He was rushed to the hospital for immediate medical attention.

NH Media stated the following about their star:

“We are waiting for the results of the tests and we will find out if surgery will be required for his injury. As of now, we are uncertain of their upcoming activities."

Fans,Ukiss his injury and make it all better! Please, don’t “Shut Up” about the situation. Wish him well and give us your thoughts about how he injured himself. We are listening!

POPSEOUL wishes him a speedy recovery.

Demo Video Revealed For Upcoming KBS Drama “Mary Stayed Out All Night”

Posted: 17 Oct 2010 08:55 PM PDT

Jang Geun-suk and Moon Geun-young were caught looking like a cute couple in the demo video for the upcoming KBS drama “Mary Stayed Out All Night“.

In the teaser clip, Moo-gyul (Jang Geun-suk‘s character) and Mary (Moon Geun-young‘s character) walk through the streets of Hong-dae holding hands. Moo-gyul also plays the guitar while Mary takes photos next to him. Regarding this particular scene, many viewers have noted that Jang Geun-suk and Moon Geun-young really seem like they’re in love.

On set, Jang Geun-suk and Moon Geun-young recently decided to talk casually to each other (instead of using formal language you use when you talk to someone older in South Korea). The actor and actress, who are of the same age, were able to become close friends very quickly. A staff on set stated, “They seem like really good friends. Sometimes they seem more lovely and friendly than a real couple that just seeing them makes people happy.”

KBS drama “Mary Stayed All Night” will start airing early November.

Are you excited to see Jang Geun-suk and Moon Geun-young‘s chemistry come alive on screen?

Below is the demo video for KBS drama “Mary Stayed Out All Night“.
