T-ara’s Jiyeon and Seo In Young posed together for some adorable pictures. The two have gotten closer because they both star in Heroes, the new variety show.

Seo In Young uploaded these pictures to her minihompy and wrote, “With Jiyeon baby”.

The two are sporting similar outfits and looking like good friends, even though Seo In Young is much older in reality.

They look pretty adorable with their variety of facial expressions and poses. Seo In Young also wrote, “I always ask her to play with me ang ang~!!”

Netizens wrote,

“Seo In Young is begging Jiyeon. How funny!”
“They are like sisters.”
“They look good together.”

Aren’t they cute?

KARA’s Goo Hara and MBLAQ’s Thunder became good friends on the most recent episode of Invincible Youth.

When MBLAQ visited the girls to help them do some farm work, Hara never left Thunder’s side.

In Korea, you have to speak formally to a stranger or someone older than you, so to get closer to Thunder, Hara suggested, “Let’s speak informally!” Thunder replied, “Okay. But you have to call me oppa.”

The two went together to get boxes and were basically partners throughout the whole show.

They decided to have a comfortable oppa-dongsaeng relationship.

Viewers commented,

“Goo Hara never left his side~”
“They look good together.”
“When they’re standing next to each other, light is shining off.”

I think they look good enough together to be more than just friends.

With the group’s debut date just around the corner, GP Basic has been gaining explosive amount of attention from many, specifically due to their such young age. Besides Janey who currently attends elementary school, all members are merely middle school students.

Although their overall concept of “youth” is pretty fresh for K-pop industry, it seems like many people are worrisome for what’s awaiting for the girls. Some believe that dressing prepubescent girls in tight pants and high heels is ethically wrong and should not be attempted.

There is also a problem for GP Basic’s appearance on various music programs, since a handful of them require parental guidance for those under 15. The shows include KBS Music Bank, MBC Show! Music Core, and SBS Inkigayo. If all three shows ban young kids from even viewing the show, how will they be able to perform in the show?

About this question, Korea Communications Standards Commission declared, “The group’s appearance itself will not be a problem, but it is definitely inappropriate. Their choreography and wardrobe will be the main factor on our banning decision.”

I just can’t wait to see the girls’ first performance.

GP Basic, a group that has yet to formally debut, is a recent hot topic in the music world today.

Preparing to debut with their song Game, GP Basic is already garnering interest, due to the very young ages of the six members. With one member still in elementary school, and five in the second year of junior high school, the group has earned the very fitting name of being the “nation’s youngest girl group.”

Among the members, the youngest member, Janey, is attracting a lot of attention in particular. In charge of rapping in the group, the elementary school sixth-grader has actually already starred in many CFs as a child actress.

Last year, she appeared on SBS’s Star King as “elementary school girl rapper”, and together with “little Seo In Young”, Ahn Joo Hee, the two girls showed their prowess with a cute and lively performance as the “Star King Girls”. With the performance, Janey showed off her rap skills with her unique husky voice, and even revealed a secret talent – the “shaking dance”.

All in all, she received lots of love from the viewers.

Next week, GP Basic will introduce themselves with a teaser of their music video!

Get ready to see some talent from these precocious girls!

A Korean entertainment company recently announced their plans for debuting Korea’s youngest girl group yet, GP Basic.
The average age of the six-member group is a mere 13.5 years old, and the youngest member is still in sixth grade. The oldest, however, is still going through her second year of middle school. These girls have beaten f(x)’s record for youngest age, which is 16.

GP (which stands for Girl Power) Basic’s entertainment company stated that their age was nothing to worry about, however. “Although they are young, they will show a power that will challenge that of older girl groups,” a spokesperson claimed. “The members show good teamwork, as they all trained in dancing and singing together for the past two years.”

GP Basic will be releasing its first single album sometime during the second week of August.

4minute sported their sponsored clothing in the bathroom? They sure did.

In Korea, celebrities usually wear sponsored items for photoshoots, TV shows and more. They always make sure to take a separate photo of themselves to have it on record.

I guess 4minute’s photos had to be taken fast because they were taken in the bathroom.

Someone posted these on an online bulletin board and wrote, “The background is the bathroom. They usually pose at their company building or in front of their rooms but now the bathroom. Did they want the bathroom lighting?

Netizens wrote,

“Sponsored photos seem like a photoshoot.”
“Nice smelling bathroom scent.”
“The background is a fail.”

I don’t actually think they’re all in a bathroom. If they are, it is a funny thing to imagine.

The seven girls of Rainbow are back!

On the fourth, a picture of all seven girls was released by their company. This is actually one of the many photos from their upcoming single album.

We haven’t seen these girls since they promoted Gossip Girl last year, and I think many fans have missed them dearly, so it’s good to know they’re coming back.

They seem more mature and graceful in this photo, but what caught everybody’s attention is the eye makeup, as the eyeshadow colors are the colors of the rainbow.

Their straight dark hair, pale skin, and white clothing makes the colors stand out even more. Are you guys excited for their comeback?

Upcoming girl group Nine Muses’ Rana and Lee Sam revealed that they were able to win first places at certain model contests due to Super Junior’s Leeteuk.

In 2007, Lee Sam won the Supermodel Contest and in 2008, Rana won the same contest. It turns out, Leeteuk voted for these two at the time.

Leeteuk was there at the contests to perform. He had the choice to choose someone and in 2007, he chose Lee Sam and in 2008, he chose Rana. Since the two people he picked won in those two years, people started to think that if Leeteuk picked you, you would win the contest.

Lee Sam said, “Back then, Rana and I were both #17. It’s weird that we’re in Nine Muses together because not only did we share the same name but we were both chosen by Leeteuk. I thanked him when I went back in 2008.”

What a coincidence! I guess Leeteuk has the eye for pretty ladies.

On August 2nd, T-ara’s Hyomin uploaded a couple of photos through her Twitter. The photos, as seen below, revealed fan letters sent to the members of T-ara. Along with the photos, Hyomin commented, “I almost cried after receiving the letters. T_T~ I want to be a T-ara… too… From now on, I will work even harder!!!”

At first, people who saw Hyomin’s update thought that she was crying with joy about the fan letters, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.




As you see in the first photo, it shows five letters, one for each member… but wait, that’s right, somebody had forgotten Hyomin! Excluding T-ara’s newest member, Ryu Hwa Young, who didn’t begin her activities with the members yet, T-ara has six members. Even in the second photo, which is a letter to all the T-ara members, the writer of the letter forgot to list Hyomin when listing the T-ara members’ names.

Fans who have seen this letter commented, “Don’t be sad. I will send you a letter with your name written big across the whole page”, “I guess you were a folding screen”, and “Are you a folding screen amongst the fans as well?”

Note: “folding screen” is a term used in variety shows when someone can’t showcase their talents and therefore just stands in the background like a folding screen.

What do you guys think?

Kevin expressed the pressure he felt for his Mnet MCountdown's special stage.

ZE:A performed a special Shinhwa and 2PM performance for M Countdown's 200th episode special.

Kevin spoke with T-News and stated, "We performed the songs of our seniors, Shinhwa and 2PM. Honestly, there was a lot of pressure when we were performing 2PM's 'Again & Again.' 2PM is an idol group that promotes with us so I think we'll be compared to them. We stayed up all night for 3 days in order to change 'Again & Again' into our own unique color. I'm a bit worried and pressure as to how people will view it."
