Japanese men have a lot worry about now that 2PM is in town.

Making their grand debut on December 8th Korea’s original “beastly idol” group 2PM performed to over 25,000 fans in their 1st Japanese concert “1st Contact in Japan”.

Following their concert, on the 9th the group performed for the 1st time live on the Japanese morning show Tokudane to their hit single “Heartbeat”.

The performance proved to be too hot for one female MC, as she was seen with her mouth wide open in awe of the group’s impressive physique.

Shortly afterwards, the female MC at the event couldn’t help herself but ask member Chansung to show his muscles one more time!

Although there are many Japanese boy groups out there, you won’t find that many with an impressive physique as the 2PM boys. So, we can understand why that women couldn’t help herself at the sight of some chocolate abs.

2PM will be launching a tour called, “Zepp Tour, around Asia next year. Tour dates have already been set for Singapore (Friday, May 6th), Fukuoka (May 8th), Osaka (May 9th), Nagoya (May 10th) and Tokyo (May 13th)

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 10:00 AM PST

Nothing says “yummy” like Girls’ Generation‘s choice of pizza.

The 9 member girl group was recently picked as the new face to promote Domino Pizza’s new tasty roasted pork pies. The girls are not new to the CF scene. Previous endorsements include mobile phones, ramen, and fun.This time around (actually all the time), SNSD use their cute girl-y charm to lure you to take a bite out of this 300 calorie pizza. But, you won’t feel so bad knowing that the girls had to eat it too.

On a side note, Dominos Pizza probably has the best pepperoni pizza in Korea.

Check out the Domino’s CF

And check out the girls giving out hints on the new pizza:

Park Jin-young & Sidus HQ’s CEO in Smackdown Of Words over Jay Park

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 09:36 AM PST

Park Jin-young has found himself under fire from Sidus HQ‘s CEO over none other than Jay Park.

Park Jin-young, CEO of JYP Entertainment had supposedly criticized Jay Park on KBS variety show “Win Win” on the December 9th episode.

Jay Park former leader of “beastly idol” group 2PM, was forced to leave JYP Entertainment earlier this year over one comment he made on MySpace where he reportedly said “Korea is gay”.

Soon after catching word of Park Jin-young comments, Jay Park‘s new company Sidus HQ’s CEO Jung Hoon-tak went on a full out twitter blast, calling Park Jin-young some “colorful” words like 'son of a b*tch.”

Jung Hoon-tak pushed the envelope further as he revealed this very flattering photo of Park Jin-young.

Hours later Park Jin-young released the following statement on JYP Entertainment‘s website:

“It’s been a while since I wrote a message. I’m writing now because I’m upset and disappointed. On a show I filmed today, I was asked about what happened to 2PM in the beginning of the year. I tried to avoid actual details, but I ended up expressing my thoughts. I was caught off guard since I specifically asked the producers to avoid the subject before taping. So afterward, I requested that they edit out those scenes. However, people there reported on what I said and it’s been blown out of proportion. I’m very sorry for rekindling a topic that many people were hurt by. I’m upset because I have to leave such a bad message during the end of the year holiday season. I promise I’ll only bring good news from now on.”

Throughout the whole ordeal on his twitter Jay Park who was unaware of what was going on tweeted:

“huh am i missing something?? did something happen?” and “yo i appreciate the support but can someone tell me what happened cause im lost lol, is someone talkin smack er what is it?”

What do you guys think of the whole situation? It might be possible Park Jin-young comments did truly get blown out of proportion, but true or not does that still give Jung Hoon-tak a right to act the way he did?

On December 10th, the television network MBC released the photo of f(x)’s Victoria with 2pm member Nich-khun’s family. Recently, they visited his family in Thailand for MBC’s reality show “We Got Married“.The pretend couple took a family picture for their television audience’s viewing pleasure.

Nich-khun and Victoria’s acting on the show makes it seem like they are a couple in real life. I believe they are actually in love…sometimes.
