Another woman goes on to say that their songs are "very romantic and are stories of hope when it comes to love."

[NEWS] French Hallyu fanclub, ‘Korean Connection’, visits Korea 110419; SHINee mentioned.

As previously reported, French fans have been earning the attention of the Korean media for their knowledge and interest in the Hallyu wave.

Recently, Daily News caught up with a few of the members from the French Hallyu fanclub, “Korean Connection“, during their visit to Korea. Most of the members knew a slew of Korean idol names that they easily listed once asked.

Sha (22) first became a fan of Korean culture through the drama, “Autumn Fairytale“, nearly 10 years ago. Since then, she’s been a fan of actor Song Seung Hun. With 54 other members from Korean Connection, she and the fanclub used their Easter holiday to visit the ‘home country of Hallyu’.

The fanclub arrived on April 9th, and although they’re staying for two whole weeks, they were quick to claim that it wasn’t enough. They’ve already been to the recording hall for KBS’s “Music Bank“, as well as to the rehearsal set for MBC’s “Show! Music Core“. Some were even guests on a radio program.

But that’s not all. On the 20th, they’ll be visiting the SM Entertainment building to meet up with the members of SHINee themselves.

Undoubtedly, the highlight for many will be that fan-meeting with the SHINee boys, but for some, the best part of the break was in their visit to “Music Bank”. Since they’re ’special guests’, a camera crew followed them around since the early morning. While on the set, the French fans showed that there were no cultural barriers when it came to music, as they fit right in with the Korean fans.

One fan (30) revealed that she first fell in love with K-Pop when she listened to Park Ji Yoon’s “Adult Ceremony” at a Chinatown back home. “Before, there were a lot of Chinese and Japanese music and dramas, but the Korean corner is getting a lot bigger now.”

Aisha (20), who’s an avid fan of “Secret Garden“, added that dramas are uploaded with full subs in a variety of different languages just a day after its original broadcast.

Caroline (35) stated, “France is the country in Europe with the biggest interest in the Hallyu wave. Our interest in K-Pop will definitely expand into a general love for all of Korean culture.”

Korean Connection concluded, “Working with the Korea Tourism Organization, we planned this trip to Korea for the members that have yet to visit. Through this visit, we hope that the music agencies of Korea will take a bigger interest in Europe.”

[NEWS] SM Entertainment artists to perform at K-pop concert in France 110419

Posted Image

The expansion of the K-pop craze has left no lack of international fans. All around the globe, K-pop fans are clamoring for their favorite artists to come and visit their country, and it seems like France has a K-pop concert of its own to look forward to this summer.

A French association named Korean Connection began a project a few months ago to organize a K-pop concert in France for 2011. The goal seemed somewhat implausible: France had seen appearances and showcases, but rare were concerts in France. That is not to say that there is not interest in France for the K-pop artists, however. In fact, in 2010 when f(x) filmed their MBC "Koala" show, there was an impromptu fan meeting in front of the Eiffel Tower when the girls were spotted, recognized, and followed by French fans! The dedication and high level of interest from the French due to growing global integration has conveyed that the French definitely have a large thirst for a taste of the musical cuisine that is K-pop.

Thus, a few months after Korean Connection began its project, over 8,000 people had subscribed to their Facebook homepage and actively promoted the project in hopes of attracting some of their favorite artists from the K-pop scene. Their efforts seem to have been successful.

In April, the Korean Connection homepage announced that there was to be a K-pop concert in Paris. The concert will take place on June 10, at le Zénith de Paris, one of the largest performance halls in Paris. The evident honor and adoration conveyed to the K-pop artists was enough to secure such a building, in which many famous French artists have performed.

So which Korean entertainment company is looking to show its artists' international fans some more love? It is none other than SM Entertainment!

The president of Korean Connection issued an official statement declaring that SM Entertainment has decided to send some of its artists to France. It is still unannounced as to what group or groups SM Entertainment will send, but already, French K-pop fans are excited and ready to welcome the artists!

It appears that K-pop companies are starting to follow a trend and take notice of international fans. Cube Entertainment collaborated with Koreaboo to bring its global auditions to North America and host a G.NA showcase in Vancouver. SM Entertainment held its SM Town Concert in LA and made it onto the Billboard chart for an extremely successful turnout. JYP Entertainment has the Wonder Girls touring the US; 2AM has previously opened for the Wonder Girls during their tour. YG Entertainment has just opened a poll for fans to bring Big Bang to a concert near the fans' area.

It is the era of globalization, and K-pop fans hve readily taken that connection to grow closer to their idols and learn more about the music. The fans' interest is not going unnoticed, and it appears that fans are now receiving more recognition for their input with major entertainment companies in K-pop.

"The Perfect Onscreen Boyfriend”: JYJ's Park Yoochun
With intense eyes and a small face, smooth skin and broad shoulders, Yoochun can only be described by unrealistic terms for his attractive appearance, known for causing the pulses of women to quicken. The star is known for being able to wear whatever he desires—cardigans, UGG boots, and other clothing men typically avoid—while still appearing stylish and manly. Even in the recently published photos from the MBC drama “Ripley,” Yoochun showed off his perfectly straight shoulders while sporting a suit. This led to numerous praises from female fans like, “What unrealistic perfection,” and “He is the perfect onscreen boyfriend.”

“The Picture Perfect Man”: JYJ's Kim Jaejoong
Jaejoong’s fashion sense rivals that of his fellow group member, Yoochun. Regardless of what he wears, the singer always looks like he just came from a photoshoot. His clothing often draws the attention of fans, especially his smiley-face printed hoodie, deep V-neck T-shirts, jumpers and other unique items. In a photo recently taken during rehearsals for their world tour, Jaejoong was shown wearing a "Hello Kitty" tracksuit. This attracted the interest of many netizens, who wrote comments such as “How fashionable!” and “Your fashion sense is even chic during rehearsals.”

“The Unique Trendsetter” – Big Bang’s G-Dragon
G-Dragon has always been praised for his unique fashion sense. Men from their early teenage years to even late twenties have confessed their desire to be like this star. Many clothing brands have expressed interest in hiring G-Dragon as their model, including Bean Pole and G-Market. Known for being a trendsetter, he has often been admired for dressing in a style of his own rather than following the crowd.

“The Walking Piece of Art” – SS501’s Kim Hyunjoong
Kim Hyunjoong is known for appearing radiant while wearing natural, casual clothing. His style consists of t-shirts with skinny jeans, black sunglasses, and a matching backpack, showing a preference for comfort over chic. Even though he appears nonchalant in his pictures, his overall good-looking, fashionable appearance has caused netizens to comment, “What photoshoot are you supposed to be at?” and "He's a walking piece of art!"

Posted Image

“The Future Fashion Designer" – SHINee’s Key
The sensitivity of Key to what is currently fashionable has caused him to become one of the leading idols in styles and trends. His style is cute, but also chic, and manly enough to capture attention of both males and females. It would not be an overstatement to claim that his sense of color matching is one of the best in the idol world. Even at first glance, the color schemes that Key chooses in his outfits are refreshing to the eye. There are high expectations for the idol as a fashion designer, as well as in music.

[NEWS] Male Idols vs Male Actors Look-A-Likes 110414

Posted Image

On a recent portal site bulletin, a netizen put together a collection of photos comparing popular idol singers to idol actors! When seen from a glance, they might seem like brothers, but look closer, they seem like total strangers! Can you tell their similarities?

Seen in the photo above, CN Blue's Jung Yonghwa and Jung Kyungho are seen having similar facial expressions. 2AM member Im Seulong and Ki Tae Young were compared for their bright smiles and attractive eye smiles. The most popular comparisons would have to be T.O.P and Juwan with their alike eye brow shape, next to MBLAQ Lee Joon and Jung Gyeowoon for having similar mouth shapes!

Other comparisons such as F.T. Island member Lee Hongki and Jang Geunsuk received praises for looking very brotherly. Park Yoochun and Yeon Jung Hoon were scouted for their similaries as Jung Hoon could pass as Yoochun's father. Lastly, Onew's adorable wink expression was almost parallel to Song Joonki's expression with their round cheeks and lip shape.

[INFO/NEWS] Jonghyun and Taemin mention in T-ara's Soyeon's Interview 110413

K-Pop fans are already familiar with the long list of stars that almost debuted with SNSD, but none came quite as close as T-ara’s Soyeon. The talk is about the hardships that she had to faced after being eliminated at final cuts, 6 months before SNSD's debut.

Shinee's cut:

Soyeon debuted with T-ara in 2009 and finally achieved her dream of becoming a singer. But by then, SNSD had already made their debut, and the members of SHINee and f(x), who were both previously her juniors, were now her seniors.

With a laugh, she continued, “It was really awkward when I first debuted (laughter). At our debut broadcast, SHINee’s Jonghyun and Taemin came to greet me. I treated them like I did when we were all trainees and spoke informally to them. Thinking about it now, I felt that something was off and ended up worrying a lot over it. In the end, we talked it out and decided to just regard each other like we did when we were trainees.”

[NEWS] Vocal professionals rank the best and worst singing idol groups and members 110408; Jonghyun mentioned.

Numerous professionals from the music industry recently got together to rank the best and worst sounding idol groups and idol group members, the results of which were recently published through a special Chosun News report.

There are four sets of results in total: two for the best and worst singing idol groups, and two for the best and worst singing idol group members. A simple point system was used to record the results.

< NOTE >: This article does not express the opinions of allkpop nor of the author.

# The Best of the Best

2AM came in 1st place for the best singing idol group with a total of 11 points, which was achieved partly by their hit song ‘Can’t Let You Go Even if I Die‘. “The lead singers and sub-vocalists are able to keep their voices stable at any given part of any song, and their talents are all just about even.”

Big Bang achieved 2nd place with a total of 8 points and their reviews read, “Due to their great musical skills, and a spectacular continuation of team effort, they scored well.” Coming in 3rd place for the best singing idol groups are the Brown Eyed Girls with 6 points. “Their live singing pitch and breath has always been maintained very well. Emotions are also expressed well.”

Next up comes the best singing idol group members.

1st place was awarded to JYJ’s Junsu, who topped the list with 13 points. “The rhythm that Junsu expresses in each song is magnificent.” 2nd place ended in a tie between SNSD’s Taeyeon and SISTAR’s Hyorin, who both ended up with 9 points. “Some may argue that one of the two is better then the other, however each of them display a fantastic vocal range. Heartfelt emotions can be observed even when the two are singing pop songs.”

3rd place also resulted in a tie between 2AM’s Changmin and SHINee’s Jonghyun, both receiving 6 points each. Changmin’s comment read, “Talented vocals and spectacular use of breath,” while Jonghyun’s comment read, “Impressive singing ability, being able to sing a wide range of music well is a hard feat to achieve.”

#The Worst of the Worst

It now comes down to the unfortunate results for the worst singing idol groups. Coming in 1st is girl group KARA with 12 points. “Their vocals and rhythm have a decent sound, and there are a few cases where they display accurate sound, however their actual vocals could use some improvement.” In 2nd place we have After School with 6 points. “The group’s member selection seems to be constant, and with the addition of many new members, it seems that vocal talent doesn’t play a role. Some also seem uncomfortable on the stage, and certain members sing most parts while the others are just there.”

T-ara came in 3rd place with 5 points. “It seems as if the members have a hard time finding their own personalities when they’re singing on the stage, and it’s often awkward.”

Lastly, we have the worst singing idol group members.

The list begins with Wonder Girls‘ member Sohee, who placed 1st with 12 points.

“It seems as if she only has parts that last a few seconds, so it’s almost as if she’s not even there.” 2nd goes to KARA’s Goo Hara with 11 points. “Certain things need to b improved with, and her biggest weakness lies in her vocals.”

Lastly, we end in a 3-way tie between After School members UEE and Nana, and 2PM’s Chansung, who all hold a total of 4 points. UEE’s comment read, “It seems like no emotion is ever expressed on the stage, and is pretty shy when performing.” Nana’s read, “Her sound and image generally don’t fit well“. Chansung’s read, “More of his musical talent has to be expressed better.”

On the March 24th broadcast of Y-Star’s “Wonder About That“, investigators targeted middle-aged women (a.k.a. ajummas) and polled them to see which idols were the most loved by their group.

The program surveyed 300 women, all between the ages of 40-60 years, and asked, “Who is the top idol?” Through this survey, the ajummas were able to show that idol-love wasn’t just restricted to teenagers and young adults.

Of all the idol groups, SNSD placed 1st, with 102 out of 300 votes. Breaking it down individually, SNSD’s Yoona came in 1st place because of her acting appearances through dramas. 2AM’s Jokwon placed 2nd because of his kkab dance and his cuteness.

Popular idol groups SHINee and f(x) have transformed into the fresh heralds of spring.

The online market Auction revealed today that the SHINee and f(x) members took part in a shoot for an online pictorial book.

In this pictorial, they are seen posing with props like colourful balloons and party hats, and are dressed in refreshing clothes that match well with spring.

Their agency conveyed, “In order to complete this pictorial, the members of both groups worked tirelessly, showing only their joyful images.”

It was also said that SHINee’s leader Onew lifted the mood and created a very harmonious atmosphere by cracking jokes with the other members and staff present.

All of the SHINee members worked hard without letting slip any exhausted expressions; instead, with smiles and mischievous energy, they completed the shoot with a dance rap accompanying them in the background.

f(x)’s Victoria acted as the group’s maknae by delivering snacks to her worn out juniors.

The Onew-Sulli and Minho-Victoria couples also showed off how well matched they were.

[INFO] MTVK's Top 10 K-Pop Airport Fashionistas 110314

1. DBSK

This list belongs to the Gods of Airport Fashion — TVXQ!

The five boys have been photographed hundreds of thousands of times as they traveled (literally) all over the world and each time, they never fail to make fans wonder, where did they get that?

Jaejoong‘s leopard print jacket, Yoochun‘s fail sunglasses, Junsu‘s suit, Yunho‘s romper-thing and Changmin‘s manly pink sweater make TVXQ the number 1 K-Pop Airport Fashionistas!

Posted Image

2. Wonder Girls

You may agree or disagree but the Wonder Girls have the best fashion sense out of all the girls groups in private! Eclectic and eye-catching, their style isn’t overpowering and one glance and you know they’re a star.

Posted Image

3. SHINee

Brightly shining SHINee never forgets they’re the fashion leaders for the contemporary movement. They play up their best features in tight skinny jeans but honestly, any type of fashion suits them because they’re perfect!

Posted Image

4. Big Bang

Maybe number 4 should go to G-Dragon rather than all of Big Bang…but T.O.P’s outrageous pants lets the entire group place on the list! Saying G-Dragon has unique fashion sense is like saying water is wet. But you sort can’t help but say it again after seeing photos of his wardrobe at an airport.

Posted Image

5. 2PM

The boys of 2PM look the best when they have minimal clothing on but when they’re at an airport, they go for bold patterns, sunglasses and designer jeans.

Posted Image

6. SNSD

Girls Generation proves their sweet and romantic look isn’t all an act! They’re just as bright and goddess-like even before a 12-hour flight to America! (Jessica’s shocked photo had to be included…)

Posted Image

7. KARA

KARA may wear intricate outfits on stage but their style is anything but. KARA is one of the most casual girl groups around — opting for loose shirts and jeans.
KARA

8. 4Minute

4minute carries their unique and colorful style over into their personal clothes! They also seem to have kept their love of all things short.

Posted Image

9. SS501

SS501 are seasoned travelers and it shows in their luxurious but functional fashion choices. They still carry fancy manbags and wear leather boots but their t-shirts and sweaters are loose and comfortable.

Posted Image

10. CN Blue

C.N Blue may be rookies but they’ve been traveling back and forth between Japan and Korea for promotions since their debut! They keep some of their group’s rock style while incorporating their own personal laid-back looks.

SM Entertainment announced that they would be producing the Korean adaptation of the Japanese manga "Hana Kimi" on March 10th. The topic has gotten many fans excited and even resulted in "Hana Kimi" trending on Twitter a few minutes after announcements. Netizens began to make their own virtual cast of the upcoming drama.

"Hana Kimi" has already received hot reactions in Taiwan and Japan with their live adaptation of the drama in 2006 and 2007 respectively. The storyline of "Hana Kimi" is about a girl who enters an all-boy high school disguised as a male.

This announcement from SM Entertainment follows the successful ending of the JYP Entertainment produced idol drama "Dream High." Netizens have been speculating that the majority of the Korean "Hana Kimi" cast will be portrayed by SM artists since the company will be in charge of producing it.

A SM Entertainment representative has said regarding the cast, "There will be SM artists casted in the drama, but not everyone will be included."

Netizens have listed the possibilities of the following SM idol cast:

Mizuki Ashiya (female lead)- Taeyeon (SNSD), Sulli f(x)
Mizuki Ashiya is the lead female character in "Hana Kimi" who disguises herself as a male high school student to help the high-jumper, Izumi Sano, jump again.

Izumi Sano (male lead): Minho (SHINee), Eunhyuk (Super Junior)
Izumi Sano is the lead male lead character. He suddenly stopped high-jumping for unknown reasons and finds out Ashiya Mizuki's true gender accidentally early in the series.

Shuichi Nakatsu (second male lead): Sungmin (Super Junior)
Nakatasu becomes Ashiya's close friend at Osaka Gakuen (Academy) and begins to realize his feelings for her, not realizing she is actually female. He becomes conflicted with himself, thinking that he is a homosexual, and becomes jealous of Sano for being close with Ashiya.

Minami Nanba (head dorm of 2nd dormitory) - Changmin (TVXQ)
Nanba is the head dorm of the 2nd dormitory and a "ladies man" with multiple girlfriends at a time (when he's not found out). The 2nd dormitory includes a mix of athletic and scholar students. The 1st dormitory mainly consists of athletes, while the 3rd mainly consists of artistic and intelligent students.

Hokuto Umeda (school doctor) - Heechul (Super Junior), Yunho (TVXQ)
The hot homosexual doctor at Osaka Gakuen. He is the first to know about Ashiya's true gender and gives her advice and acts as her mentor throughout the series. Umeda is Nanba's uncle.

The Korean adaptation of "Hana Kimi" is set to air this summer with a total of 16 episodes. Which SM artist do you think should play which role? Do you like the netizens suggestions above?
