The one member who seemed shy at the mention of an interview, Jongup the innocent boy who seemed unfamiliar and shy about interviewing while the other members were answering fluently. He was the member we were able to sense his other charms outside of his strong image on stage.

When we asked him about how he felt about his debut, Jongup replied shortly “I’m really happy” with a tint of laughter following afterwards. Their marketing manager who sat beside him said, “He tends to get shy a lot~” in which Jongup silently smiled brightly as his response. However, he just tends to be shy but he knows how to speak about his thoughts.


He was in a dance club in middle school and since then, he’s raised his dreams of becoming a singer. “Going down that path, I went to competitions and I found myself enjoying the stage slowly. My greed for dancing grew bit by bit and in midst of it all, I was recruited on the streets and now I’m here today making my debut.” In seeing his eyes sparkle at the talk about dancing, the shy image we saw just before vanished.


Unlike other idols that made their debut recently, B.A.P has well developed, extravagant synchronization and a powerful dance, topping it off with their strengthening and appealing vocals, causing up quite a storm in the music industry. In order to maintain this perfection, they must have had shed blood for sweat, but wouldn’t this have been difficult for the still young boy?


“If it’s difficult, it’s difficult but I was truly happy. Practicing altogether till late in the night until we fall asleep exhausted, although that may have worn us out physically, I was happy. I’m very thankful for being able to even do what I want to do.” Although he’s young, seeing himself speak maturely shows a hidden charisma we felt from him.


On January 28th, B.A.P opened their first showcase at the Seoul Jangchung Stadium and 3,000 seats were filled on this day, making B.A.P realize their popularity. However, there was a small episode on this day of the performance that seemed almost too perfect.


“My shoe fell off during the performance. You don’t know how shocked I was but I kept dancing as if nothing was wrong and thankfully the performance was successful. Sigh, I was shocked for a moment and you don’t know how relieved I was.” Because he was too nervous at the time and reflecting over his mistake, he wants to show an even more perfected performance in the future.


What makes B.A.P different amongst the other plethora of idols? When asked this question, Jongup replied that is was their masculinity. “Lately there are a lot of male idols who are cute or pretty, but we differ from other groups with our masculine charms. Even our title song is very rough and masculine. I really like the dance also and I’m trying to be more masculine myself.”


B.A.P’s photo shoot and interview that ended past 12AM, it was very fun for us. The members scarily ate away their hunger during the snacks provided even if the time was late. Also, they’d dance if fun music was played and joke around with one another, maintaining the comfortable and fun atmosphere of the photo shoot.


“The relationships between the members are really well. Rather than saying someone is specifically close to another, we all depend on and take care of one another. Another charm of B.A.P is our close friendship.” Jongup is a very innocent-minded person who knows how to always feel gratuity to his members for being with him.


When asked about his ideal, he said that it’s someone who he “likes the moment I see them.” That was the answer. “I really like someone who I see and exchange that vibe with them. Ideals are just ideals~” When asked to pick a celebrity close to his ideal, he thought for a long while but he couldn’t think of one so Jongup just smiled. Seeing Jongup act his age of a young and fresh 18 year old was cute.


B.A.P who wants to show a lot more, and also Jongup. We hope that his wish of their name being known widely in 2012 comes true as the results follow suit with how much they’ve endured. We conclude the interview with B.A.P who is a good group. We really think B.A.P will rise!

Idol group Boyfriend will be trying their hands at a dance musical.

Mnet‘s Global Project ‘Boyfriend’s W Military Academy‘, scheduled to launch February 24th, will reveal footage of the ‘Boyfriend’ members’ attempt at dance musical, ‘Dance If You Love‘.

‘Dance If You Love’s is a dance musical that tells a unique story through different forms of dance such as hip hop, jazz, techno, ballet, modern dance, and more.

The boys were given five hours to rehearse the ‘Hero’ scene from the musical. They also had some time to have their skills judged by veteran actors. Knowing they were being carefully observed by 15 senior actors, the boys were more sincere and genuine than ever before, garnering the respect of everyone on set.

“This was the hardest and most nerve-wrecking mission we’ve ever received,” the boys said, wiping the sweat off their palms. All the members did their best, but a professional selected one member that was most suited for musicals within the group.

To find out which member was named the most suited to musicals, watch ‘Boyfriend’s W Military Academy’ which airs every Friday at 6:00PM KST.

The boys of Block B have been under much mental and emotional stress after finding themselves in the middle of a controversy after their recent interview in Thailand. It seems the level of stress reached a point at which it became too hard for member P.O. to handle, as he has been hospitalized.

With the controversy getting out of hand, P.O., the maknae of the group at 19 years old, has been reported to have been in a state of panic after suffering from much stress the past week. With the news of a petition calling for suicide by some cruel individuals, the stress and shock he received seems to have led up to his hospitalization on February 24th.

People have been wondering where P.O. was during ‘M! Countdown’, since he had been seen at the pre-recording, but not during the actual show. It seems his missing presence was due to his state of health.

Brand New Stardom stated, “It is true that P.O. is currently hospitalized. It seems he has experienced much shock after the current controversy, but his full medical examination report has not yet come out.”

They also added,“Currently, we’re most worried about the members’ health and the welfare of their families.”

As reported earlier, Block B has issued written apologies, bowed 90 degrees on their music show appearance, and also released a video apology to show their sincere remorse and apologize to the people of Thailand.

It seems that Block B will not be present on the rest of the music programs at least for this week.

After the Thailand interview controversy that has gotten the public riled up, Block B’s name was found to be missing on February 24th’s ‘Music Bank’, 25th’s ‘Music Core’, and 26th’s ‘Inkigayo’.

Although there hasn’t been an official statement released regarding this issue, it seems as if it will be hard for the group to appear on broadcasts for the time being. One source within the industry stated, “Music programs are ones that are watched by people all over the world, so doesn’t it seem that it would be problematic for a group who has done international fans wrong, to make an appearance?” Another staff member from the production team of one music program also stated, “Although it’s not to the point of banning their appearances, until the situation is resolved, Block B’s appearance will be restricted.”

Block B fans have been continuously requesting the appearance of the group, and have flooded ‘Inkigayo’s request bulletin with their posts.

Mnet, who allowed the group to appear on their ‘M! Countdown’ broadcast on February 23rd is currently evaluating the situation and deciding whether to have the group appear next week. A source stated, “We are well aware of the public’s criticisms. However, since there are quite a few days left until the next show, we haven’t yet started discussing any specific details yet.”

What are your thoughts on this issue? Are broadcasting companies, as well as netizens over-reacting?

By now, anyone who’s a fan of K-pop is aware of 7-member idol group Block B. One of the boys’ interviews which took place in Thailand January 30th has stirred major controversy, and the boys have been receiving slanderous remarks from the public and the media alike.

The most sarcastic of remarks said, “They sure did their noise marketing properly,” deeply upsetting the members and their agency. When Star In caught up with Block B backstage at Mnet‘s ‘M! Countdown‘, all the members wore long faces. When approached for an interview, their manager denied the request. Instead, Star In met with a high ranking representative from their agency to ask a few questions.

- Did you neglect to act upon the situation, knowing what happened?
▲ Not at all. I didn’t know at first because I didn’t travel with them to Thailand for the interview, but I was shocked upon seeing the fans’ criticisms. We were going to release an official apology on the 20th, but the controversy had already caught fire by the 19th. The attacks coming at us were so uncontrollable we didn’t know how to control the situation at hand. We got one step behind, and after that, everything got really difficult.

- Are you saying that this is unfair?
▲ No. We deserve to be criticized, 100%. I am responsible as well. The apology statement was typed online after the members personally wrote it by hand. The Block B members were heavily disciplined and they learned a hard lesson. But to see the netizens’ comments be turned into news articles without proof or confirmation was really hurtful.

- There are netizens saying you sought revenge against Nichkhun who started this problem.
▲ What kind of revenge would a small company like ours be able to seek against JYP Entertainment? And if we did try to bring down Nichkhun, do you think it would work? We’re actually quite thankful to Nichkhun. It’s only natural for him to become upset and criticize our wrongdoing, and he did his part by asking fans to refrain from attacking Block B. He said that he hoped the boys had learned through this mistake, and if it weren’t for Nichkhun, this could’ve gotten more out of hand. We are grateful for his understanding nature.

- How are the Block B members?
▲ They are extremely panicked and worried. They’re about to step on stage right now, but they aren’t themselves. I’m just worried that they might have had suicidal thoughts. The boys were only focused on wanting to stand out and be noticed, and they were a little thoughtless. But the boys aren’t stupid, they did not have ill intent when they said the things they did. A part of me is relieved. They are being disciplined well while they are still young. They are reflecting on their actions in remorse, so much to the point they probably wish they’d never been born.

- When will you personally apologize to the Thai citizens?
▲ Like I said, we got one step behind trying to deal with all of the criticism and attacks, and we lost the right timing. Anything we say now is going to sound like an excuse. And it’s not like we can go to Thailand because we want to and immediately apologize, there are orders and principles to how things go about. We are discussing many different routes we can take. We should have something official by next week. And of course, we will also be visiting Thailand.

- Is there anything you would like to request?
▲ We’ve hit rock bottom in despair. We were wrong, and we deeply apologize. The Block B members and myself are extremely repentant. I think this incident will be an opportunity for the boys to become a little more mature. I hope that you guys will give the boys a chance to learn from their mistakes. If you want to further reprimand us, I will gladly receive the punishment. It is all my fault. Reprimand if you must, but know that the boys are being genuine. These kids are younger than you think. I hope you will be a little understanding.

Ahead of this interview, Block B’s agency Brand New Stardom stated that “all the members are deeply repentant,” and posted personally hand-written apology letters on their official fan cafe.

Last week, it was reported that SM Entertainment had requested an investigation into the spread of the photoshopped nude pictures of Girls’ Generation.

The agency had stated at the time that they would be taking legal action against those behind the creation and the distribution of the composite photos. It seems that the police has now caught one of the perpetrators.

The person behind the wide-spread distribution of these photos has been identified as a man in his 50′s; he’s been booked without detention.

Although the age of the man may be surprising in itself, what’s gotten the public’s attention is the man’s job.

The individual, called ‘A’ by the Korean media, is reported to be a 53 year old government employee in Yeonsugu, Incheon.

‘A’ is being charged with uploading the composite photos (made with Girls’ Generation dressed in hanbok and pictures of nude females) in December of 2011 during his work hours on an internet cafe site.

‘A’ admitted that although he had uploaded the photos, he had not created the photos. The police stated, “He stated that the photos were not created by him, and all he did was upload them on the [internet] cafe site.”

MBLAQ‘s Lee Joon admitted that he felt B2ST is now more popular than MBLAQ.

On the February 22nd episode of MBC ‘Radio Star‘, Lee Joon was asked how he would compare MBLAQ to their ‘rivals’ B2ST who made a comeback at a similar time.

“I think B2ST is more popular than MBLAQ. We are also being pushed aside by INFINITE,” he honestly confessed.

“I think we were leading in the beginning. When we were guest-featuring on radio programs, B2ST could not book events and they were looking in at us from outside the studio,” he continued. “Yoon Doojoon especially looked really envious. But the tables have turned now. B2ST is much more popular.”

If you can recall, B2ST made a similar sentiment back in July.

Also guest-featuring on this episode were After School‘s UEE, ZE:A‘s Lim Siwan, and TRAX‘s Jay.

“My company originally planned for me to film ‘Ninja Assassin‘ first, and ‘Boys Before Flowers afterwards,” he explained. “But I had shaved my head for ‘Ninja Assassin, and my hair was as short as the hairs on my chin… So unfortunately I was cut before I really even got a chance, all because of my hair,” he continued. “There was one time I wore a wig for an MBC sitcom. I had no choice.”

A crew member of ‘Strong Heart’ told Osen on February 22nd that “March 15th has been confirmed as the last recording date with Lee Seung Gi. Episodes of Lee Seung Gi as a host will be running until April 3rd.”

Anyone who has ever had a sibling can relate to the love hate relationship that develops while growing up with each other. MBC’s ’High Kick 3‘ is no exception, as Lee Jong Suk and f(x)‘s Krystal play the roles of brother and sister that are constantly bickering and bantering with each other.

On a recent interview with TV Report, Lee Jong Suk explained, “Since Krystal and my (character) fight all the time, now I feel the most comfortable when our characters are fighting. We don’t even have to think when we act now.”

He continued, “Since Kyrstal and I fight so much, the magnitude of our fights have been increasing. So there are times when we actually hit each other. I think that might be why I’ve heard that Krystal’s mom doesn’t like me.”

Showing his humorous side, Lee Jong Suk added, “(Well) my grandmother doesn’t like Ahn Soo Jung (Krystal) either,” causing laughter on the set of the interview.

Meanwhile, even though Lee Jong Suk’s ‘High Kick 3′ character is rough and tough with his sister Krystal, he is sweet and sensitive to his crush Kim Ji Won.

We’ll just have to wait and see if he’ll be able to win over her heart.

Girl group JQT have just announced their disbandment, throwing their plans of debuting in the U.S. to go into arrears.

The four members of JQT have been working with Melvin Brown since last year, a producer associated with famous artists like Lady Gaga, Akon, T-Pain, and more. But when their contract ended with agency GP Entertainment in December, the group decided to split up.

JQT’s representative revealed to Star News that “Our contract with the JQT members has ended, and the members did not show a desire to renew it. We are going over the plans of their American debut, but it seems like a thin situation.” (The word “thin” here was used to describe that their American debut is not likely to happen.)

Members Minjung, Gajin, and Jieun were discovered in 2005, followed by Minsun through a separate audition. These four girls debuted in 2009 as JQT, with Jinkyung later replacing Minsun.

As for their future plans, it’s been revealed that Minjung, Gajin, and Jieun will make a fresh start with agency EC Ebenezer. They will join two others to create a five member girl group called ‘As the One‘.
