Members of CN Blue were coincidentally seen on a KBS news program.

The news program was reporting on the stronger enforcement of airport security after the G20 summit. In the footage showing the process of airport security, three of the four members of CN Blue were getting checked in. In the pictures above, Jung-shin can be seen with his arms wide apart getting his whole body scanned. Min-hyuk can be seen putting on shoes after the process. Yong-hwa is on the other side getting ready to get scanned.

It’s funny seeing the members of CN Blue as cameos on the news, isn’t it?

What is so hot about Bae Doo-na’s latest drama?

MBC’s “Gloria” is full of love,suspense,and… of course singing!

Na Jin-jin (Bae Doo-na) is a blossoming 30-year-old singer living in her sister’s shadow. Years after her sister and popular singer Na Jin-Joo(actress Oh Hyeon-Kyeong) becomes handicapped following a tragic accident(which also takes her parent’s life), Jin-jin picks up the pieces and struggles to take care of her while beginning a new life as a recording artist.

While her sister begins to recover, Jin-jin must deal with the president of her company (her future love), her best friend’s sordid love affair with a rich lady, and discover who really caused her sisters accident. Could the culprit be trying to murder her new love interest President Lee Kan-Seok( actor Seo Ji-seok) as well?

A picture can tell a thousand words, right?

Lee Min-ho has been injured

The actor was hurt on the set of his upcoming drama “City Hunter”.

Min-ho’s agency stated: “Those scratches were made during one of his action scene practices."

Min-ho is known as the former flower boy, but when a handsome flower is not perfect… netizens are the first to speak up. One Netizen posted the photo above online zeroing in on the actor’s scraped/scratched knuckles. They wondered why he had this injury. Of course, his agency responded promptly with the message above.

Poor Min-ho! Does anyone have some special Minhoist ointment?

Pandie! 2pm‘s Jun-su uploaded the photo above on his Twitter recently. The photo shows the singer seated with a very polite panda bear. It even seems he is enjoying a good coffee/latte while chatting with friends. This photo is hilarious and has just right amount of afternoon humor.
