A new hip hop group has hit the Korean scene, and they are amazing.
New rookie group ‘WE‘ has just released their first digital single “The Rain” on November 1st. The group’s dynamics are different, made up of three male members (Macho, Kang Han, Man Do), with female vocalist Rosie. Each member has worked professionally in various fields as a dancer, rapper, CF model, and musical star and have captured the attention of the industry with their undeniably powerful stage presence. The group named themselves ‘WE’, meaning the four of them must come together to be explosive, and the four will continue to look ‘up’ and are determined to reach the ‘top’. They want to show the industry what they are made of, as a powerful performance team.
The video is a bit repetitive, and I wish we could get a better look at the whole band. All in all though the song itself is amazing and moving and I love it!
I look forward to what We has in store for us next!
Earlier, it was reported that KBS’s ‘SECRET’ would be coming to an end and replaced by an animal variety show.
Although it was announced earlier that the show would be titled, ‘My Pet’, the name has since been changed to ‘Birth of a Family’.
The new show will document various idol groups taking care of abandoned animals for 8 weeks or so – until the animal is adopted by a new family. In addition, the show will also feature rare animals that are not commonly seen in the company of people. The show hopes to raise awareness about issues involving animal neglect. It hopes that by bringing in celebrities on the show to care after these animals, they may help increase awareness and capture the hearts of citizens. As the celebrities laugh and cry raising these animals, the show hopes to inspire citizens to take a deeper interest in abandoned and homeless animals. MBLAQ and APink were announced as the first idol groups up to take part in the upcoming show. However, due to scheduling issues, MBLAQ has now been replaced by INFINITE.
INFINITE and APink will become the first idol groups to participate in the show emceed by Boom, Lee Hui Jae, and Kim Byung Man. The first day of filming will start on November 1st, and the first episode will air on November 12th.

The boys of INFINITE wrapped up their promotions for their repackaged full-length album in Korea, putting on their last performance on SBS‘ Inkigayo on the 30th.
Their next plans are to focus completely on Japanese promotions for the time being, dominating with their trendy music and lethal dance moves.
A representative from INFINITE’s management team remarked, “The boys will be performing on stages in Japan for the remainder of the year. They will be a lot busier than the last time we were in Japan, being featured on more TV programs and holding many more fan meet and greets.”
INFINITE who has made their mark in the K-pop scene only a year after debuting with songs like “Be Mine“, and “PARADISE” are now crossing over to take on the Japanese music industry by storm.
The boys will be performing their hit songs”Before the Dawn“, as well as “Can You Smile” which will be released on November 19th.
Member ‘L‘ is also featuring on a popular Japanese drama and has already built a good fan base which should only work to INFINITE’s advantage when they begin their promotions.
As INFINITE prepares for their Japanese promotions, Woolim Entertainment recently revealed the dance practice for “PARADISE”, check it out below!

In this dark clip, Jiyeon is seen holding a gun while crying out, “It was you. Why did it have to be you, mister. WHY?” She then fires, and the MV cuts to a scene of actor Cha Seung Won lying lifeless on the ground.
The teaser moves quickly to several intense action shots of the actors fighting, while T-ara huddles and cries with fear. At the end of the teaser, a voice is heard saying, “Mister, do you regret meeting me? If I fall too deep in happiness… it might just kill me.”

Bowing as part of the traditional Korean greeting, 인사 (in-sa), is customary and one of the first things you learn about Asian, and specifically Korean, culture. More importantly, it’s a gesture of respect. In addition to the bowing is the idea of hierarchy, where there are things like “선배” (sunbae/seniors) and “후배” (hubae/juniors) in the industry. So when a young junior idol group fails to bow to the senior artist, it becomes tricky, and almost always newsworthy. Recently in the K-pop community, the manners of idols has become quite an issue. What really started all this was the group T-ara. They were first accused of their poor performance, but now the issue has moved onto their manners. On October 17th 2011, a senior musician Mo-Se tweeted,
“There is a girl group whose attitude at a certain event became an issue. I knew it. They are also famous for not greeting others. I’ve met the girl who posted an explanation about their poor performance, and not once did she greet me. What’s worse, when we met a few times at the recording studio before their debut, and even then she didn’t do anything. Particularly, when we meet at events, it’s only manners to say ‘thank you’ and greet each other lightheartedly. Let’s not even mention the fact that they don’t greet — all they do is watch me. Wow. They must be big stars. I don’t normally say things like this, but what kind of celebrities or adults are they to behave like this.”
But, T-ara wasn’t the only group with this problem. On October 18th 2011, Goo Hara, a member of Kara, appeared in a variety program Strong Heart and announced that,
“Even though we Kara are all young, it’s already been 5 years since our debut. We’re considered seniors among the idol groups now. But there’s this junior idol group of members who are older than us, and even though we, Kara, bow to them in 90-degree angle, they just nod in return.”
Hearing this news, netizens became sensitive towards these issues because “in-sa” is not only an action everybody needs to adhere to, but it’s even more important for idols to adhere to. To show the good side of K-pop manners, SNSD and Kim Hyun Joong became the “good” examples of those showing good behavior. It is known that on the 21st, SNSD came back on Music Bank, and all the members went around the waiting rooms showing their respect toward all the senior and junior artists. Also on the same day, a photo of Kim Hyun-joong bowing in the full 90-degree position became a highlight, especially because he is more senior than most of those he was performing with, and doesn’t necessarily have to bow so deeply, but did so anyway out of respect.
So why is it that some idols tend to ignore others and fail to greet or “insa” properly? Well, I think it’s all about fame, age, and the debut day. First, fame brings arrogance. No matter what anyone says and thinks, when everyone knows your name and everyone is going crazy over you, there are those who become arrogant, and maybe arrogant enough to believe that you are number one and will always be number one. Second, age is very complicated in Korea. And third, the day of a debut is also very important. Regardless of how old you are, the day of your debut determines who is considered senior or junior in the industry.
Now, going back to Kara: it’s been 5 years since their debut, which makes everyone who debuted after them their juniors and everyone who debuted before them their seniors, regardless of the age of the members in those senior/junior groups. It’s totally understandable not wanting to bow to a younger person like Goo Hara when you’re much older than her, but it’s Korea’s tradition and it’s really not something you ignore as a Korean person, and especially as a Korean entertainer.
What do you guys think? Too much political correctness, or merely being polite?
(kukinews)
This can be very confusing! Learning someones age (if in doubt) is so important! Add to that a debut date? THIS would be why we see SHINee's Onew bowing to everyone!
October 31, 2011 SHINee Shut Down the Britain’s Largest Theater Chain’s Server! Britain’s Largest Theater Chain’s Reservation System Went Down Just 1 minute After the Ticket Sales Began! Tickets for Opening Gala Concert of the 6th London Korean Film Festival, ‘SHINee in London,’ are all Sold out! SHINee, the Icon of KPOP Wave in Europe, Proved Tremendous Popularity in London!
SHINee proved their tremendous popularity once again by crashing the Britain’s largest theater chain’s reservation system server.
SHINee will hold this gala concert after they are invited to ‘The 6th London Korean Film Festival’ and SHINee is the first Korean idol to hold a solo concert in London.
In fact, SHINee has already performed in AbbeyRoadStudios (famous for studio of Beatles) in June as the first Asian artist, but it was intended for media and music officials and held in private. However, since this performance is the first solo gala concert in London, which is open to fans, competition for tickets was expected.
Actually, as soon as ticket sales began for this concert on the 27th, Odeon’s reservation system, the Britain’s largest theater chain, went down for 5 hours because it was overwhelmed by the thousands of fans who were trying to buy tickets.
Therefore, not only the reservation for SHINee’s concert but also reservation for other movie tickets of hundreds of theaters in Britain was unavailable. Fans made reservation through phone calls or visited the theater to get the tickets after waiting for long lines. Local audiences, who wanted to buy other tickets, unusually reserved them by phone or purchased on site.
Odeon said “It’s our first time to make server down by ticket booking. We never expect this much of people coming in all at once,” and it is said that for SHINee fans’ safety, Odeon will develop measures to keep order at the theater.
SHINee will perform their hit songs including ‘Replay’ ‘Juliette’ ‘Ring Ding Dong’ ‘LUCIFER’ etc. and have an interview session at this gala concert.
Meanwhile, SHINee will leave for the opening gala concert ‘SHINee in London’ of 'The London Korean Film Festival' which will be held in London, Britain on November 3rd.

샤이니 런던 공연에 영국 최대 극장 체인 서버 마비! 티켓 예매 오픈 1분만에 시스템 다운! 영국 내 100여개 극장 예매까지 불통! 제 6회 런던한국영화제 오프닝 갈라 콘서트 ‘SHINee in London'매진! 영국 현지에서의 폭발적 인기실감! 역시 유럽 KPOP열풍의 아이콘!
샤이니가 영국 최대 극장 체인의 예매 시스템 서버를 마비시키며, 영국에서의 뜨거운 인기를 재입증했다.
샤 이니는 오는 11월 3일 영국 런던의 오데온 웨스트 엔드 극장에서 개최되는 런던한국영화제 오프닝 갈라 콘서트 ‘SHINee in London’으로, 영국 최대 극장 체인인 오데온의 예매 시스템을 사상 최초로 마비시키는 기염을 토하며, 유럽 KPOP열풍의 아이콘다운 면모를 드러냈다.
이번 갈라콘서트는 샤이니가 제 6회 런던한국영화제로부터 특별 초청받아 개최하게 된 것으로, 한국 아이돌 그룹 사상 런던에서 처음으로 펼치는 단독 공연이라는 점에서 화제를 모은 바 있다.
사 실 샤이니는 이미 지난 6월 비틀즈의 스튜디오로 유명한 런던의 애비로드 스튜디오에서 아시아 가수 최초로 공연을 펼친 바 있으나, 애비로드 스튜디오 공연이 미디어와 음악관계자들을 위해 마련된 비공개 쇼케이스 형식이었다면, 이번 공연은 런던에서 펼치는 단독 갈라 콘서트이자 팬들에게 오픈되는 공연이라는 점에서, 영국 현지 샤이니 팬들의 뜨거운 티켓 예매 경쟁을 예고했었다.
실 제로 지난 27일 오후 1시 (런던 현지 시각) 티켓 예매가 시작되자, 영국 최대 극장 체인인 오데온의 인터넷 예약 시스템에는 예매를 기다리고 있던 수 많은 샤이니 팬들이 동시에 몰리면서, 오픈 1분만에 시스템이 다운, 오데온의 예매 시스템 자체가 무려 5시간 동안 마비되는 상황이 발생했다.
이에 따라 샤이니의 공연 예매는 물론 영국 내 100여개 극장의 인터넷 영화 예매까지 불통이 되면서, 샤이니의 팬들은 전화로 티켓을 예약하고 직접 극장을 찾아 길게 늘어선 줄을 기다려 표를 받아가는 진풍경을 연출했으며, 다른 영화를 예매하려는 현지 관객들도 전화 예매를 하거나 극장에 직접 와서 표를 구매해야 하는 상황이 벌어졌다.
오데온 극장 측은 "티켓 예매로 시스템이 다운된 것은 이번이 처음이다. 사람들이 예매를 위해 그렇게 한꺼번에 몰릴 줄 몰랐다.”며 놀라움을 표시함과 더불어, 공연 당일 샤이니 팬들의 뜨거운 열기로 인한 안전사고를 우려, 안전요원 배치 등 현장 질서 유지를 위한 대책 마련에 나섰다는 후문이다.
이번 갈라콘서트는 ‘누난 너무 예뻐’, ‘줄리엣’, ‘링딩동’, ’루시퍼’등 샤이니의 히트 곡 무대와 토크 등으로 구성되며, 그동안 뮤직비디오 등으로만 접해왔던 샤이니의 다양한 히트곡 무대를 직접 볼 수 있다는 점에서 영국 현지 팬들의 폭발적인 반응이 예상된다.
한편, 샤이니는 11월 3일 영국 런던에서 펼칠 런던한국영화제 오프닝 갈라 콘서트 ‘SHINee in London’을 위해 오는 1일 출국한다.
The new and improved Madison Square Garden kicked things off with a bang this week as Asian pop sensation Girls Generation took to the stage. NY1's Lewis Dodley filed the following report.
Their name is Girls Generation. The nine-member group from South Korea was one of seven acts brought to New York by SM Entertainment who packed the arena at Madison Square Garden.
Their energy, youthful beauty and catchy tunes shot them up the charts in Asia. Now they've set their sights on the U.S.
Their first English single called "The Boys" was released just last week but will it make Girls Generation a household name.
"Hopefully it will. We worked with Teddy Riley for the single. And he was very comforting and I think the result came out really well," said Girls Generation member Jessica.
The single is one thing, but is America ready for nine girls in one group?
"Definitely looking forward to U.S. fans liking Girls Generation because there's a variety of personalities and people so I think you can take your choice," said Girls Generation member Tiffany.
There's no shortage of choice when it comes to the growing number of so called K-Pop groups. Though there are more than a million Asians in New York and 14 million across the country their goal is to appeal to the broader U.S market -- something made easier by the power of the Internet.
"Five years ago it would be hard to imagine that people in Europe or all over the world would be listening to K-Pop," said Key of SHINee.
And five years from now we might be wondering what took so long in the first place.
Key's english is just....daebak!
Those of us who have been into kpop for a while now are ALREADY wondering what took so long! And since I was there...there were fans of ALL race and ethnicity there! Just sayin.....

There is something I've been noticing as more and more Korean stars are releasing their tracks in Japanese. This may be an older song, but it shows what I am talking about.
Do you see the difference? It's amazing really. I liked the original Korean version a lot more but of course that's a matter of opinion. The Japanese version is much more upbeat and colorful, but it lacks the story and emotional connect the Korean version gives us.
Again, the Korean version is telling a story, while the Japanese version is much more colorful. I think this has to do with the vast differences between Japanese and Korean cultures. Korea is more reserved, while Japan is more free.
In the end though, which music video you enjoy the most is really up to your own personal opinion, whether you like the fun colorfulness of the Japanese music videos, or the more emotional and story driven Korean music videos. Whatever you like, it's always fun to sit back and watch these music videos!
Due to a pro-baseball game that’s running late, MBC has decided not to air its episode of ‘Music Core‘ tonight.
‘Music Core’ announced the decision through their homepage, and revealed that even though the show won’t broadcast tonight, recording will proceed as scheduled. Today’s show will be aired next week on November 5th instead. ‘We Got Married’, which follows ‘Music Core’, will also be rescheduled; in its place, MBC will show a re-run of ‘High Kick 3′. But not to fear, TV fans – ‘Infinity Challenge’ will air during its regular time slot.
Okay This last part I must admit had me in tears...
Loss is so very hard damnit!
Don't miss the very touching dream sequence...
Fortunately TaeKey's BTS footage brings some much needed comedic relief!

05.18.10 [TVDaily] Rain Ushering In An Evolution For A New Future Beyond The Late Kim Sung-jae
Some media reports and netizens have dipped their pens in vitriol for what the style of dress Rain wears for the performance of his second single ‘Hip Song’ is similar to that of the late singer ‘Kim Sung-Jae’, but it is far fetch from its nature and they are engaged in just a consuming debate.
Actually, Rain expressed, “I admired ‘Kim Sung-Jae’”, and ‘Kim Sung-Jae’s mother thanked Rain for his giving her son’s fans a present as nice as can be.
‘Kim Sung-Jae’s mother said, “The reason of my son’s death has been perverted by some media reports and netizens, so it has remained in our family’s minds as a bruise, but Rain trying to become a major world star has renewed my son and made a deep impression on my son’s fans once again.”
The late ‘Kim Sung-Jae’ debuted in the name of hip hop duo ‘Duce’ in 1993, but he came back as a solo singer in November 1995 after splitting up in two years. But his dead body was found the next day, and his girl friend was spotted as a suspicious character of the offense, but she was released due to lack of evidence and the affair has been covered up.

Idol group Boyfriend flew to flood-damaged Thailand recently to lend support to their fans. On October 26th, the boys threw a concert in Siam Paragon, Bangkok, which drew 2,500 female fans. The day before, they visited Dong Muang International Airport, which currently acts as a shelter for many flood victims. They added to the flood relief by volunteering and sending in supplies. Starship Entertainment revealed, “Through this concert, we want to help Thailand’s flood victims and lend hope and strength to the people. Though Boyfriend’s strength is small, they joined with the heart to help. We thank the warm hospitality of their Thai fans, and we will keep the flood recovery in our thoughts.”

by leesa86Twin brothers Kwangmin and Youngmin of rookie idol group ‘Boyfriend‘ have been highly praised for their resemblance to singer Kim Hyun Joong.
Ever since their debut, they’ve been dubbed as the ‘Kim Hyun Joong twins’. In fact, before they were singers, the boys guested on an SBS program, whose panelists pointed out that the boys looked very similar to the SS501 star. Kim Hyun Joong himself acknowledged that the twins did look like him, which drew even more interest from netizens and viewers alike.
During a recent interview with enews, Kwangmin and Youngmin remarked that those who felt they resembled their senior were “too kind“. “We saw him recently on a music program, and he was awesome. We thought to ourselves that we wanted to be like him in the future,” they said.
The twins continued, “Kim Hyun Joong is someone with a very strong aura, as well as a great stage presence. We want to follow in his footsteps, being loved and acknowledged not only in Korea, but overseas as well.”
The two admit that they’re “still lacking in a lot of ways“, and that they continue to receive dance and vocal instruction from time to time. They will always work hard to develop as an artist. Perhaps in time, they’ll get to see the day where their juniors will cite Kwangmin and Youngmin as their mentors.
Meanwhile, Boyfriend is actively promoting their new song, “Don’t Touch My Girl“.

After a long period of tense relations, SM Entertainment and Mnet finally resolve their dispute earlier this year. Now, everyone in the industry is watching to see if SM will allow their artists to make an appearance at this year’s ‘Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)’.
Representatives of ‘MAMA’ responded with optimism over questions of SM’s participation this year. “We can’t announce official attendance lists yet, but there is no problem with SM artists joining the ceremony,” they said.
Organizers are currently busy trying to untangle scheduling snarls, as SM artists are currently busy promoting all over the world. Officials revealed that it would take some time to get the schedules sorted out. TVXQ is scheduled to perform at the ‘2011 Billboard K-Pop Masters‘ in Las Vegas on November 25th. Considering the fact that the ‘MAMA’ will be held two days after that, the likeliness of their attendance doesn’t seem high. Their labelmates are also fully booked with other year-end schedules.
If they do attend, however, 2011 will mark their first appearance in three years.
The ‘MAMA’ will be held at the indoor stadium in Singapore on November 29th. Stay tuned for more updates!

I didn't know a lot about BoA before going to SMTown Live in New York this weekend. After hearing her I decided to look up some of her videos and learn more about her. Boa Kwon is her real name, her stage name is BoA which stands for Beat of Angel. She's been singing for over 10 years now and is sometimes known as the "Queen of Korean Pop Music".
I really like the beat of this song. It's really fun and makes me want to get up and dance. The thing I like the best is the editing which slides from frame to frame effortlessly. It feels very futuristic. It's a great song and music video.
That's all for this episode of Radar Replay!

Why are you seeing Seungho in a wheelchair?
Here is the info you need to know.
The duo first debuted as part of "Hyun Jin Young and Wawa" in 1990 but it wasn't until 1996 under the supervision of Kim Chang Hwan, a major figure in the Korean music industry, that they got together and formed Clon. Their debut album, "Are You Ready?", proved to be extremely popular. They were often credited for being one of the first groups to incorporate strong dance routines with catchy beats.
In November 2000, a tragic and unfortunate motorcycle accident left Kang Won Rae paralyzed from the waist down. Initially the duo decided to disband but in the summer of 2005 they made a comeback with their 5th album, "Victory". The title track of the album was called "Nae Sarang Song-i" (My Love "Song") and was dedicated to Kang's wife, Kim Song, who encouraged and stood by him through those tough 5 years.
Although the duo unofficially disbanded after the album's release, they occasionally met for events or promotional activities.
