SHINHWA they're back with VENUS.

Debut in 1998, they become the 1st idol group and a hallyu group for KPOP music. After 14 years they comeback with a new album.

Shinhwa is a six member group that consists of: Eric (the leader and main rapper), Lee Min-Woo (vocalist and main dancer), Kim Dong-wan (vocalist), Shin Hye-sung (main vocalist), Jun Jin (rapper and vocalist), and Andy (the maknae and rapper). Each of the members are distinct and are known for other things outside of Shinhwa. Min-Woo goes by the name M and has been releasing solo albums. Jun Jin and Andy are known for being in the variety shows X-Man, Banjun Dramas, and Love Letter (for all of the old K-pop fans, don’t pretend that you didn’t watch any of these shows!). They, as well as Dong-wan and Hye-sung, have also released solo albums. Eric has been going the actor route and has been in several dramas and movies with the most recent one being Spy Myung Wol.

Shinhwa originally debuted as a group under SM Entertainment up until 2003, when they switched to a fairly new company (at the time), Good Entertainment. Moving on from Good Entertainment, several members left to establish their own entertainment company (i.e. Min-Woo with M Rising Entertainmentand Eric with Top Class Entertainment). In July of 2011, the Shinhwa members became the first K-pop group to own their entertainment company. Even though the individual members had their own prospective companies, this joint-venture company would deal with Shinhwa’s activities as a whole. As for music, they have released 10 studio albums including this most recent album along with numerous compilation albums, a Japanese single and album, and digital singles.

Their 9th album was released on April 3 2008 with “One More Time” and “Run.” This album marked Shinhwa’s 10th year anniversary along with being the last album that they would make together before each member (with the exception of Hye-sung) would go into mandatory military service. Instead of going on music shows to promote, Shinhwa opted to have a mega-concert that could seat 22,000 people. Since this was the last concert for Shinhwa (at least for a while), all of the seats were filled.

Now after 4 years of waiting, the members are back from the military and have released their latest album The Return. With a new and more manly style easily they catch the heart of their long life fan. Mostly Idol group this day is fan of Shinhwa. They adore, respect and fond with this group relationship and loyalty between members. Lets hope they will continue to make awesome music for many more years to come. Shinhwa, welcome back to the world of K-pop.

On March 25th, Shinhwa held ‘2012 Shinhwa Grand Tour in Seoul: ‘The Return‘, their first concert in four years, at Seoul Olympic Park. The six members showcased their seamless dancing and singing with a variety of performances.

Shinhwa opened the show with their second album’s title song, “T.O.P“, with white jackets. The men performed a total of 24 songs, including “Hey, Come On“, “One More Time“, “Destiny of Love“, “It’s Ok“, “The Solver“, and their comeback song, “Venus“.

To showcase their unique friendship and all the love fans sent to them over the 14 years, Shinhwa created a video to show their sincerity towards their fans. The members of Shinhwa themselves were able to stay together because the fans’ memories and support helped the group continue despite the hardships and obstacles they had faced. After the video ended, Shinhwa appeared, singing “Once In a Lifetime“, with fans joining in to sing.

In addition, their idol group hoobaes were spotted in the crowd, such as TVXQ’s Changmin, Super Junior, Teen Top, and 2PM.

Concluding their two-day concert, Shinhwa relayed to their fans, “Thank you for loving us over the 14 years.”

Check out their MV for "VENUS". They still can dance awesomely good. ^_^

Are you kidding me? - Lie To Me (Korean Drama)

I watched this drama last year but last month it's been airing again at Astro SOne 393, so i watched it again. Kinda like this drama but not really in to it. But it's worth to watched for 2nd time. Haaa actually i didn't watch the ending from the 1st time i watch this drama. ^_^ sorry my bad.

But to those that like this actress Yoo Eun Hye maybe you can try.

This is the story which this women in her late 20's but still no boyfriends and farway from getting married. She really irritated when her friends (which seem to stole and married her ex-boyfriends) keep bashing and accuse that she try to seduce her husband. With and anger she said that she already married to somebody and this is where the Lies began. I do like the plot of the story but don't really like the ending.

For me i will rate this drama for 3 stars only, i like Yoo Eun Hye and the guy Kang ji Hwan he cool enough for me but the storyline is not something new in korean drama.

Ok. That my opinion. I still enjoyed to watched it since it's a lot of comedy scene between yoo eun hye and Kang ji hwan that why i said it's worth it to watched for 2nd time.

Here some of the story plot and picture also the teaser of the drama. Enjoy you guys.

Taking responsibility for meeting, Ah-Jung is ordered to submit a written apology. That evening Kong Ah-Jung goes to a club and drinks away her sorrows.

Meanwhile, Hyun Ki-Joon (Kang Ji-Hwan) is the president for conglomerate "World Group." He is handsome, smart and from a rich family. But, in his teen years due to an accident he lost both of his parents. Since that time, Ki-Joon and his younger brother were raised by his aunt. Ki-Joon has a responsible character as an older brother but his younger brother Sang-Hee (Sung Joon) is more carefree. The younger brother Sang-Hee then comes back to Korea and meets Ah-Jung at the club, while she is drinking away her sorrows.

In order to ask Ah-Jung about Sang-Hee's whereabouts, Ki-Joon stays next to Ah-Jung's bed all through the night. The next day, they go their separate ways.

On the following day, Ah-Jung meets So-Ran (Hong Soo-Hyun) who stole away her first love Jae-Beom (Ryu Seung-Soo). So-Ran and Jae-Beom eventually married. After So-Ran and Jae-Beom became a couple, Ah-Jung studied hard and passed her government official exam to impress Jae-Beom.

SM Entertainment Revenue for Girls’ Generation, Super Junior & TVXQ revealed

The revenue earnings from SM Entertainment artists Girls’ Generation, Super Junior, TVXQ,SHINee, and f(x) have been revealed.

The ‘Data Analysis, Retrieval and Transfer System‘ or DART (Repistory of Korea’s Corporate Filings) has revealed the various sales figures for 5 of SM Entertainment artists. On top of the overall revenue was Girls’ Generation, and they were followed by Super Junior, TVXQ, SHINee, and f(x) in that respective order.

Up until the 3rd quarter of 2011, Girls’ Generation raked in a grand total of $19.3 million USD. If you include 4th quarter sales for “The Boys” along with their Japanese promotions, it is estimated that the total revenue figure would exceed 100 billion won or approximately $88.56 million USD.

Over that same time frame (up until the 3rd quarter of 2011), Super Junior earned $12.25 million USD, TVXQ earned $10.4 million USD, SHINee earned $5 million USD, and f(x) earned $3.3 million USD.

These figures don’t include individual solo activities (appearances, performances), special projects, SMTown concerts, and more. Because such figures weren’t tallied in, there’s a high probability that final revenue figures are much higher.

Girls’ Generation and Nicole Scherzinger to perform at “Twin Towers @Live 2012″ concert in Malaysia

Girls’ Generation will make its debut in Malaysia at the Twin Towers@Live 2012 concert on Friday (March 23rd). Set to take place at the base of Kuala Lumpur’s iconic Petronas Twin Towers, the free-to-public event will be organised and managed by JoJo Events. They are appointed as the concert management consultant.

The K-pop sensation will be joined by Nicole Scherzinger, the former lead singer of the sizzling Pussycat Dolls.

The American singer, songwriter, dancer, record producer, model and actress is returning to Malaysia for her first performance here as a solo singer.

The show replaces the aborted F1 Rocks entertainment extravaganza, following the cancelled appearance of Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue over an alleged contractual dispute between Petronas, the chief organiser of the Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix, and Enterprise Entertainment Ltd, the London-based company who owns the F1 Rocks franchise.

For more girl power, Scherzinger will be joined by an award-winning American R&B star Kelis at the concert.

The event which is free to the public will also feature Malaysian acts James Baum, Reshmonu, Faizal Tahir among others. An estimated 70,000 crowd is expected at the Malaysian F1 concert.

Welcome YouTube Malaysia

Earlier today, YouTube officially launched their 42nd country official local site in Malaysia at http://www.youtube.com.my/.

YouTube’s official blog wrote,

“While YouTube has already been available in Malaysia’s most widely spoken languages — Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, and English — having a Malaysia-specific homepage can now deliver the most relevant videos for Malaysians as well as make it easier to highlight great content from our local partners such as KRU Studios… In the last few years, Malaysians have shown a gift for creating video hits. You may have seen the guy who proposed to his girlfriend using Internet memes. Then there’s singer and ukelele player Zee Avi, who posted a few videos on YouTube in 2007 and ended up signing to Jack Johnson’s Brushfire label. Meanwhile school teacher Cikgu Shida has mimed her way across tons of popular songs to become a sudden Internet star in her homeland.

With YouTube now open in Malaysia, we are excited to see more and more Malaysians join the YouTube community. And hopefully this will also mean the world can more easily discover the amazing culture and talent that exists in Malaysia today.”

To commemorate this opening, a special video was created and features some of Malaysia’s top artists including Yuna, Mizz Nina, Joe Flizzow, and Tenderfist. Additionally, after looking at the analytics and seeing the popularity of K-pop in the country, some of the Top K-pop / K-drama stars including B2ST, 2NE1, INFINITE, miss A, Jang Geun Suk, and SISTAR welcomed Malaysians to YouTube Malaysia.
