The Amber backstory:

She injured her leg, and due to that problem she couldn't participate any of f(x)'s projects and recordings.

Well, the picture below is Amber’s recent photo. She uploaded this a few days ago and it says "Glory December 7th".
No one actually knows what that means, but some have guessed that it’s her comeback date, and some people say that the date is Jaeson Ma's comeback with the album "Glory".

So POPSEOULers, What is your guess?

Jung Yong-hwa has been proven innocent!

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 08:08 AM PST

On SBS’s “Every Night”,which aired on November 22, a controversy about Kkal-Chang (slip sole) aroused between two idols!

Dae-sung from Big Bang is the one who started the talk about Kkal-Chang. Lee Kyeong-sil said to him "You look taller now than in waiting room". Dae-sung replied "Jung Yong-hwa did the same thing too". The CNBlue vocal was irritated by that sentence and denied it.

After continuous challenges from Dae-sung, Jung took off his shoe and proved that he was really innocent. Dae-sung was embarrassed and said "He is a faithful guy".

Do you look down on idol who wears a Kkal-Chang(shoe lifts)?

The composite photo of John Park and world pop star Beyonce becomes a hot issue on the internet.

Netizens who know that Beyonce is the ideal type of the famous Superstar K2 contestant said "John Park resembles Beyonce in some way, though I am not sure where."

One netizen decided to combine the photos of John Park and Beyonce and the result was a 'Johnyonce' photo.

Netizens who saw the photo commented

"They really look alike"

"I think he is prettier than Beyonce"

"I don't know who is that but she looks beautiful".

MissA: “We were really nervous about our first-ever showcase….”

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 06:36 AM PST

but we had a fun time and enjoyed it. We want to thank our fans in China for showing their support and rooting for us.”

The quote above was from none other than…MissA! On November 22nd, the Korean/Chinese girl group traveled to the homeland of two of their members for an Anycall Showcase. The girls,who debuted as Anycall models in an official MV, appeared at a concert hall (The Place on Monday).

Following their press conference, MissA performed for 1,000 fans. They performed their hit songs Bad Girl Good Girl, Breathe,special singles like Lady Gaga’s Poker Face, and the chinese version of their Anycall single Love Again.

Jia and Fei were probably elated to return to their home country after performing in Korea for so long. The two girls can finally “Step Up” to the home plate and “Breathe“. At home, there aren’t any bad girls, only good!

Catch MissA and the rest of the JYP Nation at their TEAMPLAY concert on December 24th.

Yun-ho and Chang-min will be the new DBSK duo!

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 06:00 AM PST

DBSK(TVXQ) will be making a comeback next year….

It will be just the two of them.

SM Entertainment released the following statement about the semi band reunion in January 2011:

“After the 3 TVXQ members left, for over a long year, both U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin have refrained from musical activities.

The two members as well as the company wanted to keep TVXQ alive, thinking about the never changing hearts of our loyal fans who have waited a long time.

As indicated by the ruling, all of TVXQ's activities need to be done through SM, unfortunately, the three members that left have regretfully not responded to any of our offers for activities as TVXQ. After long and careful consideration, we made this decision.

For U-know Yunho and Max Changmin, who never left and kept their dreams as TVXQ, we have decided together with the two members to keep TVXQ alive.

No matter what happens, we believe that TVXQ should continue for the love and trust of the fans who created TVXQ together with us.We are not ruling out any possibilities in the future. Continuing TVXQ is the best way to repay the fans who love and waited for TVXQ."

Will you be anticipating their comeback next year?

S.M. The Ballad’s second audio teaser “Don’t Lie” is revealed!

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 05:51 AM PST

Forget JYJ and Kanye West…this is SM East!

S.M. The Ballad members Jong-hyun (SHINee), Jino (new singer) and guest vocalist Henry(Super Junior-M) sang the newly released single from their first album “Longing for You” (aka Missing You).The name of the single is “Don’t Lie“. So, I’m going to be completely honest. This is hip-hop and R&B fused track that is a little different “Hot Times“.

Do I like it?

Not really. I love R&B,but their voices are just a little to high-pitched for this tune.

Verdict: Talented guys,wrong song choice

Listen to “Don’t Lie” here:

The album”Missing You” will be released on November 25th.

Jay Park poses with his shirt on

Jay Park continues his winter promotions for Levi’s Denizen and he is fully clothed! Does anyone remember a photo shoot or campaign without seeing Jay half naked?

What do you think? And is it just me or does Jay look very different lately?

Cha Tae-hyun is suspicious of his twin and battles a tiger for Vogue

Posted: 22 Nov 2010 12:59 PM PST

Funny man Cha Tae-hyun brings his charm to Vogue Korea for a photo shoot with the the concept of “Korea’s Jim Carrey.”

If anyone can pull off this photo shoot, it’s our comedian actor! If I were battling a tiger, that would be the look on my face too…

The backwards suit jacket is a good look

This is a great shot, as if Cha Tae-hyun is wearing a vase disguised as a sweater

You can catch the charming actor in his supernatural comedy ‘Hello Ghost,’ opening on Christmas week!

[Who Pops It Best?] Shin Min-ah vs. Lee Ji-sun

Posted: 22 Nov 2010 07:58 AM PST

Shin Min-ah, actress most recently seen in SBS drama “My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox“, and Lee Ji-sun, 2007 Miss Korea, were caught wearing the same outfit.

The two stars chose a round-neck blouse and a black high-waisted mini skirt from the MOSCHINO 2010 Fall/Winter Collection. Shin Min-ah wore it to the 2010 Korea’s Best Advertiser Awards while Lee Ji-sun wore it to the Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful Event.

Shin Min-ah stayed within the black & white color scheme. She wore black and white Mary Jane shoes and paired the skirt with a belt to accentuate her waist. Her wavy and voluminous hair and red lipstick helped create a cute and lively feel.

Lee Ji-sun, on the other hand, went for a much sexier look. She wore heavy smoky makeup and put her hair up in a high ponytail. The former Miss Korea also paired the outfit with black tights and suede kill heels.

Who do you think wore it better?
