| [Trans] TOP, 'I do feel stiff sometimes when I am acting' Posted: 03 Jan 2011 06:44 AM PST  Top has been praised by his supreme acting skills in 'Into The Fire' and he claimed the new comer award in the 31st Blue Dragon Film Festival too. According to him, "I think my dyed hair suits the concept of this album. Not many Korean would dye this colour which is just like I have to let my head bleed in order to get the colour dyed on successfully. This colour is just too eye catching in the prize giving ceremony." He shook his head while saying this. Then he continued his nagging, "I have heard people saying that it is because he wants to get that award, he dyed such color." and "then how about if he cannot get it?" I was once annoyed by these but I felt so happy to get the prize that I have never thought that I could be able to. Though I was troubled by those words...' In 'Into The Fire', Top has successfully carried the character who possesses unfathomable power and won the new comer award. During the award giving ceremony, the white head of TOP was particularly eye catching when he was walking on the red carpet. "Two days before attending the ceremony, I dyed this colour for shooting the 'High High' MV. In fact, I was quite ashamed to present myself with this hair style in front of so many veteran actors. I was also worried about what if I could not get the prize then all of my efforts seemed to be in vain ..." "I then felt guilty when I was receiving the award since I thought that by receiving the prize with this image, then my look will be kept in the record of the Blue Dragon Film Festival for a life time, why I have to get the prize now then?" We have spared a lot of efforts in making this album! Immediately after the filming of 'Into the Fire', he returned back to the studio to create the new album, 'GDTOP' in order to pay a surprising tribute to the fans who have been waiting for the album of Bigbang for a very long time. How about forming a duet? Although we were making the album under this thought, we have not been careless in making it. Ranging from 'High High' and 'Oh Yeah' which can suit the tastes of people from all walks of life' to 'Don't go home' and 'Baby good night' which consists of a story of how a man yearns for a woman until they fall in love together, songs which tell stories can also be found in this album. The response is good too since almost all of the songs included in the album have swept various music charts which shows how popular it is among people. "We have really spared a lot of efforts in making this album and the response is better than our expectation. We plan to extend our period of activities until we satisfy our fans." We don't have to worry about the delaying of the release of Bigbang's team album for this sentence because he said, 'We are carefully making this album at this moment. What we want is before the release of our team album, we can promote as long as possible.' I do feel stiff sometimes when I am acting. Although everyone praises him as the best actor with the singer background, Top has not been complacent by it. "I didn't have confidence in acting before I participated in "Into The Fire'. I am that kind of person who will be calm if I am confident enough and I am working hard on my weaknesses now." He was afraid of acting badly in the well received KBS TV drama 'IRIS' too, "although I do not speak much in my daily life, the real me speaks even less so I felt really difficult when I was told to act out my character without detailed guidance." Now, as an acclaimed actor, Top has also set his new targets. "There are so many excellent veterans, I learn a lot when I look back at their glorious past. However, I want to polish myself and present some new things in the industry to show that I am a wise latecomer too." "So, how many marks do you rank your acting?" "Since I am currently in the period which I want to act as much as possible and there are a lot of things that I want to present to you, I think it is too early to rank my own performance now." Of course it is good to meet an attractive girl but now is the working time Who will dislike this man? However, surprisingly, this man has been single for a long time. "I like to stay at home a lot together with my timidness, I always want to flee away from strangers for I am afraid of them. Although there are times that I have thought that it would be great if I had a girlfriend, my heart still tends to allocate my leisure time to working." It seems to be the prove of his determination to do things well. Once he meets the things that spark his ambition but do not violate the rules, then he will strive to achieve them. Although he said he would concentrate on working at the moment, he still has his own ideal girls which are those who are wise and gentle. "If she is able to lead me to a better place and point the correct direction for me, then she would be the right person. I like the role of a follower although sometimes I would like to lead, too." So are there any members of the girl groups who can meet his requirements? "In the past, I was too busy to watch the music programmes and in fact, I dodge them intentionally too since there are a lot of people who know how to perform well on the stage, I am worried that I would imitate them unintentionally on my own stage. But I am the fan of all girl groups even though I am like that...haha." Source: Sports Chosun Chinese Translation: 素食@bigbangfamily.com via baidu English Translation: Rice@Bigbang World  |

| [NEWS] MTV's Vice Guide: Korean Boy Bands. Posted: 03 Jan 2011 06:15 AM PST  MTV recently aired their 5th episode in the show "The Vice Guide to Everything." This episode featured a short segment on the topic "Korean Boy Bands." Ryan Duffy visits Seoul to give a rundown of K-Pop and the nature of boy bands. Duffy states, "When you're waking down the street in Korea, it's almost impossible not to be inundated with boy band stuff" as he pulls up to a store and finds socks, notebooks, magnet sets, post cards, and such merchandise with faces of boy bands and idols. Focusing on boy groups, Duffy finds that "It's about becoming a star through the music. K-Pop stars are literally manufactured by entertainment conglomerates who develop and test new boy bands..." To gain a better understanding of the process, the crew visits and interviews Teen Top, a boy band from TOP Media that debuted in 2010. While interviewing Kim Tae Jin, a team manager in TOP Media, they find that a boy band takes years in the making and members can begin training as early as grade school. From following Teen Top, Duffy learns that everything from fitness, nutrition, dance, language lessons, mind traning, interview coaching, and more is controlled by the company on a daily basis. Teen Top's rapper, L.Joe, reveals that he "sacrificed everything, like play time with my friends, my family. I have no freedom. I just practice everyday to be K-Pop star." Duffy ends his visit with the understanding that there is a minimalistic chance for being a successful idol in the competitive Korean market. You can watch the segment here (begins at 17:00).

| [News] SM Entertainment works to repair their relationship with Mnet Media Posted: 03 Jan 2011 03:47 AM PST  SM Entertainment and Mnet Media have been known for their tumultuous relationship ever since SME raised questions of standards against Mnet during SNSD's "Gee" promotions. Since then, SME stopped supplying their artists' songs to the company, and have boycotted all of Mnet's events such as the "2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards." Songs from Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, f(x) and other SM Entertainment artists are still not available through the Mnet site. Yet the recent release of TVXQ's "Keep Your Head Down" has raised questions regarding their relationship once more, but this time in a positive light. Mnet was the first music site allowed to distribute the song, leading many to speculate the two to be making up and moving on from past controversies. On January 3rd, SM Entertainment representatives revealed, "We have been persistently working together on resolving the past conflicts regarding with our music distribution and have been met with positive results, leading us to release TVXQ's new song to them. We will soon be supplying our other artists' songs to Mnet in the future."  Source + Photos: Newsen via DaumTip: Jane Credits:Allkpop  |
| [News] YG Fandom Torn Apart Because of Yang Hyun-Suk's Favoritism For 2NE1? Posted: 03 Jan 2011 03:36 AM PST  YG Entertainment's fandom has shown an alarming increase of "infighting," that is, fans fighting against fans.This is due to the rising conflict between Big Bang fans and 2NE1 fans. Big Bang fans, are said to be the head of conflict, by saying that YG Entertainment CEO, Yang Hyun-Suk has "2NE1 favoritism." There was mounting frustration against YGE when they declared that no YG Family member would be attending the December 30 "KBS Gayo Daejun," by declaring a boycott. Because of this, rumors that Big Bang sub-unit composed of G-Dragon and TOP, who are doing their promotional activities for their "GTOP" album, may not be appearing in KBS2 "Music Bank," because of the situation. Big Bang fans have posted their discontent on various entertainment-related bulletin boards, saying things like, "Last year, the most active group from YG is 2NE1, and they went to all music programs. But now because of their boycott against the KBS Gayo Daejun, G-Dragon and TOP's promotions might suffer damages! Why is Yang Hyun-Suk, the president of YG Entertainment, showing favoritism towards 2NE1, last 2010?" expressing their dissatisfaction. Conscious of the backlash against their December 30 boycott, YG CEO Yang Hyun-Suk made a statement through their blog, "YG's reason on refraining artists from TV appearances." In this article, it was stated, "The reason behind why YG reduces TV appearances is because of our concern for our artists. Especially for 2NE1, if they are set to appear in a show, they have to start early in the morning, at two o'clock, just to get their hair and make-up ready, and then have to rush to the studio for rehearsals, causing them to have little sleep. And if they have other schedules the night or the day before, then it gets more tiring," he said. But this article brought more dissatisfaction for Big Bang fans. Fans said, "So it's because 2NE1 needs elaborate hair and make-up. So because of that, Big Bang's 2 members' activities will become endangered," they retorted. Big Bang rose to popularity because of hits like "Lies," and "Last Goodbye," joining the ranks of other popular YG artists like Se7en and Gummy. Credits: Source: http://news.nate.com/view/20110103n07936 Translated by: knucklepink@YGLadies.com (To Answer some of your questions) Reason for non-attendance KBS Gayo Daejun: YGE's CEO, Yang Hyun Suk, recently spoke out to clarify on the issue. He expressed, "I believe that there is a difference in thought between KBS and YGE. We've decided not to have our artists attend the ceremony because we simply do not agree with the awards' standards. We are adverse with relying on ARS texting votes, broadcast points, and live votes to determine results. Unfortunately, since KBS will utilize those methods, it led us to our decision not to attend." He continued, "Just like how all broadcast programs only invite artists that they want on the show, decisions made by entertainment companies are autonomous as well. We hope that people don't exaggerate a program appearance decision between two companies to be indicative of a conflict." Unlike MBC and SBS, who both got rid of the awards component of their ceremonies due to controversies on standards, KBS will be awarding one artist/team a popularity award through polls and votes.

| [News] Papa Hong's Message, Beast,4-Minute & G-NA plans for 2011 Posted: 03 Jan 2011 02:51 AM PST  Hello. This is CUBE Entertainment's representative Hong Seung Sung. I've become accustomed to 'Hongcube' and I hope this other name of mine is another form of your affection as well as your infinite trust in CUBE. In returning that trust, we as CUBE work as if we're in the midst of summer through your feverous support each day and night. This year yet again was the feverous support and shouts in none other than the end of the year music awards that was a new step in leading us to the new year. From now on, we know that you will shout in an even more feverous voice which never changes, as CUBE's sons and daughters will have a joyful start in starting 2011. In the mysterious year of CUBE, the first up is G.NA. In success of G.NA's debut song "I'll Back Off So You Can Live," we have awesome songs next as it is in its last stage preparation before being released. G.NA's beautiful songs which will soon ring in the ears of many as the CUBE family will not hold back in sending their applause for her. Secondly, 4MINUTE will be visiting you with a new album. Today again, they are aiming for a suitable top quality and the expected standards of 4MINUTE. Like the 'FOR MINUTE' they are, they are currently working on making a better 'present' for themselves constantly running with the effort needed. 4MINUTE is expected to make their new start in mid-February as I cannot be more proud in seeing girls who just liked singing and dancing to them becoming greedier in music in their stage performances. In ending BEAST's fourth album promotions, they will be attempting something new once they have finished their little break they received. In success to their first Japan showcase, BEAST receives the spotlight as they will release in the latter half of next year (*T/N: I'm not sure if he means 2011 or 2012…) as they are preparing in a successful debut. BEAST who has stepped foot as an Asian star will face their turning point through their activities in Japan. Of course, this doesn't mean that activities in Korea are neglected due to an artists' activities in Japan. In an adventurous vision and system, CUBE's sons and daughters have become the foundation to being Asian stars as they are jewels whose stage is crowded if they were only to be in Korea. As if 4MINUTE did, we prioritize in training for BEAST & G.NA to gain content and power as they can conquer Asia. In the flow worldwide, CUBE will continue to push out with strategical promotions. Continuing after that, CUBE will also present new artists and we will set them all forth in the Asian market. We will work hard in setting forth CUBE's sons and daughters as Asia's centerpiece and becoming the best. For all the fans that love CUBE, we believe that you will be the strong rope and roots as we await your strengthened support. At the same time with the ever-changing weather with whirlwinds, typhoons, and snow, we will walk proudly as we will not lose balance and we will open our dream stage that we've dreamed of in Asia. That strength will come from the fans in the end. We promise that in 2011, all the fans who have been with CUBE artists for a long time, you will have grounded faith and support as wherever you go, in the name of CUBE you can become one and speak of us proudly. Again this year, we would like to deliver to you thanks and celebration from the heart instead of CUBE's sons and daughters that will have a deep place in your hearts. In 2011, like having them deliver their songs on stage, we wish for thankful days to those who will be closest to them and give them strength. The CUBE family and I know that the start of this all will be all of you. Receive lots of blessings in the New Year. Thank you. CREDITS: PLAYB2ST (SOURCE); seoulfoood @B2ST RISING (TRANS)  |

FT Island had held concerts entitled "FT Island Hall Tour 2010 - So Today" in cities including Osaka (December 3), Aichi (December 11), and Tokyo (December 19), and they held an encore concert in Tokyo again with more than 5,000 fans. The venue was a great success. They began the concert by singing the title song entitled "Flower Rock," which had been released last May and ranked in fourth place on the Oricon weekly chart, and sang a total 26 songs including the songs "Brand-new-days," "So Today," which had ranked in eighth place on the Oricon weekly chart, "Baby Love," "I Hope," and "Love Love Love" consecutively for three hours at the concert. Their performance filled the venue with excitement.  Members of FT Island said in fluent Japanese, "We performed on this stage with other singers in 2007, but today we have our own concert on this big stage. We feel both tense and amazed at the same time. We are very happy today. As today's concert will be the last performance of our concert tour, we will definitely do our best during the concert." In particular, former FT Island member Oh Won Bin, who had withdrawn from the group and debuted as a solo singer, appeared as a special guest and sang songs including "I Love You and I Love You." In addition, the unit group of FT Island, FT Triple, consisting of Choi Jong Hoon, Lee Jae Jin, and Choi Min Hwan, sang their song "Love Letter" as a special feature.  The five members of the group FT Island sang their representative song entitled "I Believe in Myself," which they had released when they were an indie band, as if they could not forget about their original intentions. They sang the songs "The One" and "Primadonna" as encore songs and finished the concert and their performances of the year 2010 by singing the song "Treasure" along with their fans. FT Island will hold a fan meeting at the JCB Hall in Tokyo on March 26 next year.
