YUNHO's MJ Memorial Concert

DBSK's Uknow Yunho is the best!
This Is It MJ Memorial Concert in Seoul took place on March 27th and 28th. Fancam versions of the concert can be found on youtube, tudou, etc. I think Yunho did great! He really loves the stage and is most happy singing and dancing.
Changmin went to the concert to support Yunho. Xiah Junsu's probably in China with his brother Zuno. Jaejoong is in Japan filming a drama. Not sure what Micky is up to. anyways, Changmin went to support Yunho even though he himself is busy getting ready for his first drama.



DBSK's 30th Japanese Single came out. There are 2 songs on the album. Tokiwo Tomete (3 versions: regular, less vocal, remix) and Checkmate (2 version: Yunho solo, less vocal)


And oh, Vanness dances to Sorry Sorry in Autumn's Concerto's Behind the Scenes :) Vanness couldn't get the lines right so he apologized to the crew.
Xiao Xiao Bing also danced Sorry Sorry on 100% Entertainment.
I love the drama a lot. and they are such a cute pair of father and son :)
Anyways, here's the vid.

Hangeng, welcome back!

I'm back..... well only 50%. One of the reasons is that I'm sick. The second one is I'm still stuck in Autumn's Concerto mode. I really want to write about Autumn's Concerto, but I'm still struggle with my thoughts. So many images fly around in my head that I'm not thinking straight yet. so I will hold off.


Hangeng's trip to LA is more important and longer than I first thought. He not only appeared at the milkshake store, but also took dance lessons from MJ's dance teacher and recorded a few songs. Hangeng, during a Sina interview, refuted rumors of corporations between Jay Chou and himself and becoming a spokesman of 快男 (kind of like China's American Idol but only for males). He said that he spent a few weeks in LA to mainly improve his dance skills and design skills.

Because he mentioned that he wants to become a designer, fans hypothesized that Hangeng might start his own brand like many other stars. Here are a few of his designs from a few years back.




More Hangeng news.
He donated $100,000 (Chinese Yuan) to Yun-nan province's draught problem.

and of course he appeared on a show.

4-word-idiom DBSK

March 21st, the script writer of Heaven's Postman and Jaejoong's current Japanese drama updated his blog.
Jaejoong told the writer that his Japanese is very good already. the director then asked Jaejoong whether he knows 4-word-idioms. Jaejoong answered Dong Bang Shin Ki.
so from now on, Dong Bang Shin Ki or To Ho Shin Ki is a 4-word-idiom :)

Siwon's Oh My Lady started airing yesterday. Rating = 10 -11.5%, which is pretty good. but it got beat by Dong Yi, some historical drama.

Lee sooman has 26.2 Billion worth of stocks (i think it's korean money). Bae yong-joon, actor, 10.93B is in second place.

Super Junior and Rain are performing for the Expo in Shanghai.

SJ had a concert in Malaysia on the 20th of March. Last concert of Super Show II is on April 10th in the Philippines.

More news released about Hangeng in LA. No pics because the fan had to promise not post the pics in order to take a pic of/with him. But the fan posted a pic of Hangeng's signature. Hangeng traveled to LA with 2 men and 2 women. The fan saw Hangeng in a Chinese restaurant a few days ago. also Hangeng will appear at Millions of Milk Shakes, 8910 santa monica, west hollywood, CA 90069 at 6PM tonight (March 23rd). Apparently many celebrities visit the store because the owner knows many celebrities....... So Geng fans in LA, go and see if you guys can see him :)

I don't have anything together this week.........

Siwon's drama, "Oh My Lady" starts today. F(x) Sulli will be making a cameo appearance.


March 29th, KIM HEECHUL's RADIO comback!
Kim Heechul's Young Street! (SBS)
Heechul oppa will hosting his own radio show. He's great as a MC of any kind. Been 4 years since he hosted radio shows :)
I'm sure SJ's members will be on a lot :) Heechul oppa even joked that even he can't get celebrities to come on his show, then the members will last him a while. Not only SJ also SNSD, F(x), TRAX, SHINee, maybe even DBSK.

I'm watching Autumn's Concerto so I stopped all my uploading/blogging. I'm on ep 18 (out of 21) already so I will be done probably tomorrow or Wednesday. I think the drama is great. Xiao Xiao Bin is an amazing actor. I'm impressed. Ady and Vanness are cool too. I personally feel like the major story of the drama is already over. nothing too important is left so I'm not sure how they will fill the next 4 eps. Please don't ruin it!!! the drama is really good so far!!

News

DBSK's 30th Single MV will be out soon. Here are 2 pics from the MV.


From the first picture, we can tell that there's at least one scene with all 5 of them together (*recall Break Out, 29th single). I don't know when they filmed the MV and etc. so I'm not sure how to interpret this.

Pic from Jaejoong's new drama, the five leading actors/actresses.


"Preview" of Hangeng on show next week (March 26th).

rumors, rumors, and more rumors :)

Yunho will be performing at the Micheal Jackson's One Year Anniversary Concert at Wembley Stadium in London on June 8th. YAYAYAY!!! Yunho is amazing. Other celebrities such as Jermaine Jackson, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Prince, and more will also perform at the concert. AGAIN, Yunho is the only Asian representative!! A tribute band from MJ's This Is It concert.

SHINee will release their official full second album in April. SJ will release their 4th official full album, SS501 will release their official full second album, and Se7en will release his 5th official full album in May.


Hangeng appeared (yesterdaa) and will appear again (next week) on this show. Next week, he will sing a song or maybe do a dance. This week is just a short pre-recorded message.

Also 2 more pics of him in LA were released. One is shown below.


Now onto rumors. All about his next company. Apparently no one is worried about his case with SM...... everyone's focusing on his next moves. A very famous Hong Kong Entertainment company offered 100,000,000 (~14,640,000 USD) to get Hangeng. (In China, usually company gives you a set amount of money independently of how much you actually earned. Contracts are usually 3-6 years. The company will also schedule your work for you. of course you have choices too like which movie you prefer. there are not that many artist vs company cases in China.) The same company also promised that Hangeng will be able to participate in 2-3 movies every year and a chance to act in a hollywood movie with Jackie Chan.
Some rumors say that Hangeng will be joining SD (some random new chinese band which will debut next month). Others say that he is just helping them behind the scenes.
There're more but I don't trust any of them anyways.
