After School‘s UEE explained on the most recent recording of ‘Strong Heart‘ that she began living with her parents after a composite photo spread on the internet during the early days of her debut.

UEE stated, “During the early days of my debut, I was affected by rumors caused by a [photoshopped] composite image of myself. My parents found out about the composite photo first so I was really angry and distressed… In the end, the person who made the photo was caught and I received an apology. But after that, my parents became extremely worried, and it was then that I started to live with them [when before, we lived apart].”

Fans can hear the rest of UEE’s story on the March 20th broadcast of ‘Strong Heart’, which will also feature 2AM, Park Ji Yoon, Lee Jang Woo, Jang Young Nam, Kim Ae Kyung, Choi Ji Yeon, and others as guests.

It looks like the rumors surrounding MC Lee Seung Gi‘s exit from SBS‘s ‘Strong Heart‘ were true, as the show has just confirmed that the MC will be leaving the show in March.

Lee Seung Gi has been with the show since its inception last October with Kang Ho Dong, who took a leave of absence from the industry after his tax evasion scandal. Lee Seung Gi has been running solo since then, but it looks like he’s decided that his time with ‘Strong Heart’ has come to an end.

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.”

The reasons behind Lee Seung Gi’s decision to exit lie in his jam-packed schedule. The entertainer will be preparing for his album debut in Japan, and his new mini-series, MBC’s ‘King 2 Hearts‘, will broadcast its first episode in March.

At this time, a serious search for the next MC of ‘Strong Heart’ is reported to be in process.

On February 1st, Super Junior’s Leeteuk guested on SBS’s “Strong Heart” and revealed the secrets behind how each member is positioned.

He explained that member Choi Si Won was in centre for a very important reason. “When Si Won stands in the center, it gives the illusion that all Super Junior members look handsome.”

MC Kang Ho Dong then asked Shindong whether he’d like to stand center, to which he replied, “When I saw Jung Won Kwan of ‘Fire Truck,’ I realized that first impressions are very important. If I stood in the center, Super Junior would just turn into a ‘fat group.’”

Leeteuk added, “The center isn’t always the best position though. In album jacket photos, because we have 13 members, the center stands where the jacket folds. Centers are positioned well in groups with only five to six members, but not in big groups like us.”

Doojoon, the leader of six member group B2ST, gave his own opinion by expressing, “Our choreographer positions us so that such concerns don’t arise. In our choreography, we stand in a circle without any center, so that every mother could spot their son.”
