[News] YG Entertainment to hold open auditions in Asia at the beginning of 2011

Posted: 05 Dec 2010 07:21 AM PST


YG Entertainment will soon begin hunting for talented singers all around Asia.

On November 4th, YG Entertainment stated, "Next year, on January 28th, we will be revealing an open online audition (www.yg-audition.com). We will be looking forward to seeing talents that will be the future of YG Entertainment, as those who will succeed the nation's best singers: Big Bang, 2NE1, Se7en, and Gummy."

YG Entertainment began overseas auditions back in June for the first time in six years, and have been traveling to America and other overseas countries to hunt for talented singers. They have been receiving such a hot response that their official website even crashed due to heavy traffic.

For these auditions, the finalists from the online auditions will have a real life audition in Korea, which will be judged directly by YG's head man, Yang Hyun Suk.

YG have been known to not hold open auditions in the past, however, the company has finally decided to extend the number of open auditions starting from June of this year.

"We like how people can show their strong talents in a short amount of time. If they don't have confidence in having only one talent, working harder to show a variety of talents will net a good result," said a representative of YG Auditions.

YG ASIA Auditions will commence at the beginning of 2011, starting from Korea, then to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, the YG Family Concert will take place this weekend, from 4 – 5th December.

Seulong: I'm just happy watching now…
Jinwoon: It's more fun to watch it from the studio. ^^

12. 2AM is well known for their vocals, and also people love the other image each member portray when they are doing other things (like acting, hosting), do you guys think you are overworking yourself? (For having so many activities at the same time.)

Changmin: We have crazy schedule and yes we do have lot to do! ^^* But that also means that there are that many people wanting to see us on the screen. So I'm happy, and it's all good fun.

13. Every member took part in different areas of work, can all member list out 1 other area of work, (be it acting, hosting, be a DJ) that they want to try out in the future?


Seulong: I'll be focusing more on the activities as a singer. But of course, I will do my best if there is any area that we as 2AM would be good at.

14. To make a trip here again within 5 months is actually a pretty short period, how do you guys actually feel about Singapore?

16. After this event in Singapore, we believed that 2AM would be back in Korea preparing for your very first solo concert from 24-26th December, would Singapore be one of the country for your concert in the near future?

[Interview] Kim Hyun Joong, Frankly, my dear..

Posted: 05 Dec 2010 06:58 AM PST




WHY SO SERIOUS? Korean heart-throb Kim Hyun Joong cuts a cool, nonchalant figure during his press conference here with nary a smile, something you'd not expect from a Korean idol. TNP PICTURE: BENJAMIN SEETOR

2,000 fans flock to greet Boys Over Flowers star Kim Hyun Joong at airport, but they didn't hear this atypical Korean idol's brutally honest answers
By Charlene Chua
December 04, 2010

HE WASN'T going to tell you something you wanted to hear or give a politically correct answer.

Korean heart-throb and Boys Over Flowers star Kim Hyun Joong – who plays the enigmatic Yoon Ji Hoo in the hit 2009 Korean TV series – made this clear when he visited Singapore for the first time.

This surprised reporters at the press conference and interview with the new ambassador for Korean skincare brand TheFaceShop yesterday.

Especially those who were used to the other eager-to-please – and sometimes pandering – Korean idols who have graced our shores.

When asked, via his English translator, what he looks for in a girlfriend apart from looks, he shot back at the reporter: 'If not looks, what else should I go for?'

Besieged by 2,000 fans at Changi Airport when he arrived on Wednesday night, he asked simply: 'Are these people waiting for me?'

To be fair, the actor-singer (Kim's also the leader of K-pop band SS501) wasn't rude; 'ambivalent' would be a better word.

And the upside to his brutal honesty, as we found out, was that he would say whatever came to mind.

Kim, 24, told The New Paper: 'I've also observed that girls with beautiful faces usually have average bodies and those with beautiful bodies tend to have average faces.'

Kim added that what he would do for his girlfriend – if he had one – would be to trim her toenails.

'There's nothing wrong with that. Cutting fingernails is a bit too common, I think. Toenails are still more special,' he said thoughtfully.

Nonchalant, cool

In contrast, his Boys Over Flowers co-star Lee Min Ho – who has been to Singapore several times in the past year – had charmed the media with his easy smile and anecdotes about how he's 'really lonely' and looking for a girlfriend.

Kim, on the other hand, appeared cool, nonchalant, and rarely smiled.

When asked whether he used facial mask packs (from TheFaceShop) as his in-flight skincare regimen, he didn't make use of the opportunity to plug his brand's products.

Instead, he said no and that he listens to music and watches movies on the plane.

A question that he should have prepared for but surprisingly threw him off was on his favourite three TheFaceShop products.

He eventually answered, rather generically, 'skin lotion, mask pack and foam cleanser', but not without a sheepish smile.

So this reporter tried asking him a cheeky question to try to get him to show his immaculately white teeth again.

Since you like cutting your girlfriend's toenails, do we smell a foot fetish?

It worked.

'No, feet are not my favourite part of a girl, as they are usually covered by shoes.

'I like the eyes and the face. Especially when we are making eye contact,' he said, with a chuckle.

And cutting toenails for a girl is nothing compared to what his craziest fan has done for him.

Recalled Kim: 'A fan disguised herself as a gas pipe repair person and came into my house to repair my gas pipe.

'I didn't give any reaction as I didn't want her to freak out. At that time, I was feeling unwell so she cooked a bowl of porridge and left it on my table before she left.'

Superstar boss

Kim's popularity with girls is probably why his current boss, Korean star Bae Yong Joon of Winter Sonata fame, signed him to his artiste management company in June.

Since then, comparisons have been made of their similar looks and image.

Kim said that although he's flattered because he looks up to Bae, he's not going to don spectacles – Bae's signature look – to become the latter's doppelganger.

'I used to wear contact lenses, but after I had lasik eye surgery, I don't need contacts or spectacles anymore.

'So, no, I'm not going to wear spectacles just because of that. What's more, looks-wise, we may be similar, but he's an actor whereas I sing as well.

'There are more avenues for me to reach out to fans.'

However, looking like his boss has its perks too.

Kim added that it didn't matter that Bae hasn't given him any 'aunty-killing' tips – he expects older women to fall at his feet all the same because he's a spitting image of famed aunty-killer Bae.

For now, his boss' plan for him is to have a fan-meet tour in Asia and release a solo album soon.

Said Kim: 'In 10 years' time (when he's 34), I'll still be acting, be it in dramas or movies. But I don't think I'll be singing though. I'll be a bit too old to dance.'

[News] Park Jung Min at ‘KyuJong & YoungSaeng AND Story In Seoul’ Fanmeeting

Posted: 05 Dec 2010 06:55 AM PST


JungMin went to support KyuJong and YoungSaeng fan meeting at backstage and he also sat in for their fan meeting. He was actually sitting at level 3 of the hall which was not opened for seating.

Fan account that I have read mentioned that he left in the middle of the event. When fans noticed that he was sitting on stage and pointing at him, he gesture to them to look at the fan meeting instead of him. He is so considerate. He knew this was his hyung-deul fan meeting so he don't want to stole the limelight from them. Baby could have came if he was not busy with his musical performance. He has 2 musical performances on that very day. Leader was at Malaysia attending TheFaceShop Asia Tour.

[News] Kim Hyun Joong turns busker, when he’s broke

Posted: 05 Dec 2010 06:53 AM PST


BEST known for being the leader of popular boy band SS501 and his role in the hit TV drama Boys Over Flowers, Korean actor-singer Kim Hyun Joong will be in town next week as The Face Shop's new ambassador.

In this interview, the 24-year-old heart-throb discusses joining Korean idol Bae Yong Joon's artiste management agency in June, his rebellious childhood and his views on love.

You've said before that your role model is Bae Yong Joon. Now that you've joined his company, how do you address him?
I call him Yong Joon brother. I can't just call him Yong Joon, right? Calling him boss would be very weird too.

What was your first impression of Yong Joon?
The first time I met him, I was very nervous. When I saw him get out of the car, I thought he had a lot of charisma. He seemed like a king. Because I had often read reports about how he had a certain air about him, in the beginning, I didn't dare to say much in front of him. But after getting to know him, I realised that he's someone just like me. He's not the arrogant type.

Do you meet Yong Joon often?
People may think Yong Joon acts like a "mysterious" person who does not mix with people often. But it is very much the contrary – he hangs out with his friends a lot. We are 14 years apart in age but we get along very well. I meet up with him about two to three times a week. We would sit in a cafe and chat about random stuff such as TV series plots and music. Sometimes when we drink, we will even talk about our experiences with our ex-girlfriends.

Is it true that you're a good boy athome?
When I was in primary school, I was indeed a very good and responsible student. I even won the Best Pupil award quite a few times. But I started to change when I was in secondary school. For example, when my parents drove me to school, I would pretend to walk through the school gates but sneak out later to find my friends. My friends were very into music. It got even worse when I grew older. I joined a band and quit school. My parents had violent objections to my decision so I moved out of my house. I found work at a restaurant selling fried chicken and used the money I earned to buy a guitar. At times when I ran out of money, I would even resort to busking. My teachers never gave up on me though. So with their encouragement, I eventually went back to school and finished my studies. And because I "entered society" earlier than the rest of my peers, I find that I now know how to live my life more responsibly.

Are you someone who will give up everything for love?
I once dated a singer for about five months. At that time, I did not like keeping our relationship a secret. So I would often go out with her for movies and meals. I'm the kind of person who will put everything I have into a relationship. I also believe in love at first sight. If I like someone, I won't hide my feelings. I will chase the girl passionately. I like girls who are cool. For example, if we were together and I received a call from friends asking me to go for a drink with them, she wouldn't mind if I left her to join them.

Do you like to exercise? How do you maintain your physique?
I exercise every day and play soccer. If I carry on with my current exercise regime, I will be able to maintain my physique. I actually believe that I will be able to maintain my current physique even when I hit 40.

[News] Moon Hee Joon “Why Can’t YoungWoong Jaejoong Be Confident Like Moon Geun Young?”

Posted: 05 Dec 2010 05:00 AM PST


Moon Hee Joon showed his gratitude towards actress Moon Geun Young.

On SBS' 'Strong Heart'(MC Kang Ho Dong, Lee Seung Gi) on November 30th, Moon Hee Joon seemed excited as he said, "This is the first time in 15 years that Moon Geun Young said she is a fan of mine. I'm so thankful."

Moon Hee Joon also said, "Some of my fans are also stars with immense popularity who might surprise you all. For example, TVXQ's YoungWoong Jaejoong was a fan of mine who really liked me," and "Every concert, he'd be the handsome guy holding a white balloon in the crowd."

He continued to say, "Everytime YoungWoong Jaejoong was asked who his idol was, I'd listen intently just in case he said my name, but he would list only foreign artistes. Why can't he confidently say that he's a fan of mine like Moon Geun Young?" He elicited laughter from the audience when he added, "Moon Geun Young brings honor to the Moon family lineage. She is a small but great person."
