Although June 6th is Kim Hyun Joong’s birthday, it was actually the artist who gave a present to his fans.<br />
<br />
The singer surprised everyone on his birthday by releasing a single
entitled, “The Reason I Live” (aka “Why I’m Alive”). The lovely ballad
expresses his appreciation to the fans which have supported him so
faithfully over the years.<br />
<br />
Although fans had been expecting the release of the singer’s
“Tonight” album, most of them were surprised and grateful for the
singer’s single released for his birthday.<br />
<br />
The singer will perform the song for the first time in public on June
8th at a fan meeting in Seoul. June 8th is also the anniversary of the
group ss501, of which Kim Hyun Joong is the leader. Several of the
members have made comments lately which hint at a reunion, so some fans
are wondering if the rest of the band members will be making a surprise
visit at the “2013 KHJ Show- Party People,” since it coincides with the
group’s anniversary as well.<br />
<br />
The release of the single comes on the heels of a special event KHJ
held in Tokyo, where he spent approximately 6 hours shaking the hands of
over 8,000 fans. Reports say the singer even showed concern for his
fans standing outside in the hot sun and asked them to be escorted
inside. Time after time, the talented singer and actor has expressed his
gratitude to his fans and continues to show his appreciation by these
special events and surprises. Along with his many talents, his humility
and true appreciation for his fans continue to earn him more support and
respect from Kpop fans around the globe.<br />
<br />
We wish Kim Hyun Joong a very happy birthday and many years of continued success! </div>

On June 7, Ivy’s agency released a teaser image bearing the words “IVY X
JYP, I Dance, Feat. Yubin, 6.” Since June 3, the agency had been
arousing people’s curiosity, releasing mysterious teasers consisting
only of letters and numbers. Strong red letters announce the title of
the new song, “I Dance,” and the collaboration with Park Jin Young. Park
Jin Young was in charge of producing Ivy’s debut song, “Tonight’s
Secret,” which catapulted her to “sultry singer” status. It played an
indispensable role in creating the “Ivy Syndrome.”<br />
<br />
“I Dance” is an experimental song that combines the three genres of
tango, hip-hop, and electronic music. Park Jin Young took part in
writing the words and music, including the rap. Yubin, a member of the
Wonder Girls who is represented by JYP, is featured in the song as the
rapper and has promised to help Ivy with her performances of the new
number.<br />
<br />
Ivy will be unveiling “I Dance” not on a music program but on tvN’s <em>SNL Korea</em>. The program will be broadcast at 11:00 p.m. on June 8. Ivy’s second EP will be released on June 13.<br />

EXO drew a lot of attention with their fantastic performance of the
song “Wolf” from their first studio album. An official of their agency
said today that the dance moves were the collaborative work of
world-renowned choreographer Tony Testa and SM entertainment performance
director Hwang Sang Hoon. The performance is so compelling from the
beginning that watchers are not able to take their eyes off it.<br />
Testa has done choreography for such world-class pop stars as the
late Micheal Jackson, Kylie Minogue, and Janet Jackson. He also
choreographed TVXQ’s “Catch Me” and SHINee’s “Sherlock” and “Dream
Girl.”<br />
The EXO members play werewolves in a forest wolf cave in their
performance, which has a story to it, like that of a musical. They
released their album in two versions (Chinese and Korean) at the same
time and have started performing in both countries. It’s fun to compare
the two different kinds of dance performance.<br />
Their first studio album, <em>XOXO (Kisses & Hugs)</em>, is sweeping various album charts.<br />

</div>
Big Bang member Daesung, known in Japan as D-Lite, has sold out
his Japanese tour and appears to have plans to release a new single
next month.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a class="colorbox cboxElement" href="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/06/d-lite.jpg" rel="colorbox-414005" title="d-lite.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-414007" height="480" src="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/06/d-lite.jpg" width="510" /></a></div>
<br />
Daesung released his first solo album, “D’scover”, in Japan on
February 27, 2013. It consists mainly of remakes of well-known Japanese
songs, as well as Japanese versions of his original songs “Baby Don’t
Cry” and “Wings”. The album effectively showcases Daesung’s powerful
vocal abilities. It now seems that Daesung, known to Japanese fans as
D-Lite, is working on a new Japanese single which is to be released on
July 31. The picture above has been released today and has sparked the
curiosity of fans, with the words “New Single 2013.07.31 Release!!”
clearly indicating the singer’s comeback at the end of next month.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Daesung is currently completing his Japanese Tour,
“D’scover Tour 2013″, which started on March 23 and is due to finish on
June 18. Due to high demand, over 20 additional tour dates were added by
YGEX, all of which have been sold out. This was highlighted in a short
spot which Big Bang’s official YouTube channel released today.<br />
<br />
There is no doubt about Daesung’s huge popularity in Japan, and we
are looking forward to learning more about this new upcoming project of
his.<br />

According
to an announcement by their agency on June 4, After School is coming
out with a new song called “First Love,” written by the hit songwriters
the Brave Brothers, for the first time in four years. The group’s
performance of this number will be entirely different from their
previous ones.<br />
An agency official said they will give a compelling performance
comparable to what you might see in a Las Vegas show and says, ”After
School is totally different from other girl groups, and their song
‘First Love’ is not like any of the usual songs you hear. In the teaser
video, you can feel the funkiness and a dim yearning for love.”<br />
They are shooting a music video of the song and will perform it publicly for the first time on June 13.<br />

members of the group, released this news in front of 40,000 people at
the final Nagoya Dome concert of the G-Dragon 2013 World Tour — One of a
Kind — Japan Dome Special</i>.<br />
<br />
Big Bang’s first international tour was the Big Bang Alive Galaxy
Tour, which toured the Americas, Europe, and Asia last year. The tour
consisted of 48 concerts in 24 cities of 12 countries and drew 800,000
spectators. In Japan, they brought in a total audience of 455,000 at 19
concerts in 6 cities, including the big domes in Tokyo, Osaka, and
Fukuoka.<br />
<br />
This time around, Big Bang will perform at Seibu Dome (November 16

Yahoo Dome (December 7 and 8), Nagoya Dome (December 14 and 15), Tokyo

only the second time, following a tour by the group Mr. Children.”<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
DATV has announced they will air the Kim Hyun Joong drama <em>City Conquest</em> this summer.
</div>
The program will be aired in July and features Kim Hyun Joong in the
role of Baek Mi-reu, a young man who takes revenge on society after
becoming bitter with his father for abandoning their family.
<br />
Though filming had begun and the drama was pre-sold to several
different countries, it went unaired after KBS denied it a slot in their
2013 lineup. However, footage from the show was aired last October as
part of the City Conquest Memorial Event put on by Henecia, the official
fan club of KHJ.<br />
<br />
The drama also features Jeong Yu-mi, star of the 2011 melodrama <em>A Thousand Days’ Promise. </em>When <em>City Conquest</em> was unable to secure a time slot, Jeong Yu-mi went on to accept a lead role in the show <em>Wonderful Mama.</em><br />
<br />
With the news that DATV will be airing <em>City Conquest</em>, the
question that fans are asking is will they finish filming the television
series now that it will be broadcast. However, no details have been
announced at this time.<br />
<br />
Are you looking forward to the new drama?<br />
Stay tuned for more news about Kim Hyung Joong and <em>City Conquest.</em><br />

When she showed up, fans, mostly men, shouted out and the female star
smiled and waved at them.<br />
She was wearing a bright-yellow sleeveless dress, creating a vivid
mood. The cut of her dress slightly exposed the upper part of her
breasts, catching the eye. Jessica blew kisses to the fans while leaving
the stage after greeting the crowd.<br />

On May 14, the second teaser of <em>Shark</em>
was released. In the video, <b>Son Ye Jin</b> is walking along the seashore,
wearing a wedding dress. A scene of spending a happy time with <b>Kim Nam
Gil</b> in the past suddenly changes to the scene of an accident, creating
the opposite mood. Son faces great sorrow instead of the happy emotions
of a bride before her wedding.<br />
Viewers’ curiosity was especially aroused when she wept on finding a
shark pendant in the water. The second teaser contains some dialogue
between Kim and Son, suggesting that this will be a sad love story. <b>Kim
asks</b>, “<i>What would you do if I disappeared?</i>” <b>Son answers</b>, “I’d search for
you.” Kim asks, “How?” Son responds, ”I’d look for you until I died.”<br />
<em>Shark</em> is scheduled to start airing on May 27, in the time slot of <em>The Queen of the Office</em> when it ends<em>.</em><br />

<br />
VIXX has released the first teaser pictures for thier upcoming album “HYDE”.<br />
<br />
On the 9th of May, VIXX’s leader N had posted the mysterious message
“D-3.삼삼삼삼!!!@.@!!!!!” on his twitter. Since then fans have been
speculating whether the first teaser for VIXX’s upcoming album would be
released on the 13th. It appears as though thier intuition was right.
Today the group has revealed one group photo and six individual member
photos, as well as the tracklist for their new album.<br />
<br />
The album is entitled “HYDE” and will be the group’s first mini
album, including 5 new tracks (as well as an instrumental version of the
title track “hyde”). The album will also feature a collaboration with
Minah from Girl’s Day. Songs from the new album will be performed for
the first time during VIXX’s One Year Anniversary party on the 20th.<br />
<br />
<a class="colorbox cboxElement" href="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/05/vixx_1st_mini_album_track_list.jpg" rel="colorbox-412481" title="vixx_1st_mini_album_track_list.jpg"><img alt="" class="wp-image-412497 aligncenter" height="777" src="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/05/vixx_1st_mini_album_track_list.jpg" width="616" /></a><br />
<br />
VIXX had impressed audiences with their unique concept during their
last comeback with thier title track “On & On”, which saw the
members wearing coloured contact lenses and powerful make-up. Today’s
teaser photos reveal a completely new concept yet again. It is set in a
dark forest, and there is an emphasis placed on thier toned torsos and
new hairstyles. The most mysterious feature, however, seems to be their
black feathered wings. Have VIXX transformed into beautiful dark angels
for thier new comeback?<br />

<br />
Last Saturday, tickets for G-Dragon’s <strong>One Of A Kind concert in Malaysia</strong>
officially went on sale at Fahrenheit88. Over hundreds of fans queued
overnight to be the first few in line to get their tickets, in a fear
that all tickets would be sold out within a blink of an eye!<br />
<a class="colorbox cboxElement" href="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/05/first-fan-in-queue.jpg" rel="colorbox-412501" title="first-fan-in-queue.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-412507 aligncenter" height="948" src="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/05/first-fan-in-queue-630x948.jpg" width="630" /></a><br />
Interestingly, the first fan who started queuing since Wednesday
evening, was also the first fan in the queue for last year’s BIGBANG
concert ticket launch! Many who queued overnight actually came with
friends whom they got to know from last year’s Bigbang ticket launch.
There were even sights of parents who accompanied their children for the
tickets.<br />
<a class="colorbox cboxElement" href="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/05/gd-ticket-launch-04.jpg" rel="colorbox-412501" title="gd-ticket-launch-04.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-412505 aligncenter" height="418" src="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/05/gd-ticket-launch-04-630x418.jpg" width="630" /></a><br />
Given the high popularity of G-Dragon, it was not a surprise that
more than 1000 fans were in the queue before the doors opened. VIP
tickets were sold out within an hour of the start of sales and tickets
from other categories are running out fast as well.<br />
Concert organiser Running Into The Sun (RITS) will also be bringing in <strong>G-Dragon concert merchandise</strong>, details on method of purchase can be found now on <a href="http://en.korea.com/blog/enter/k-pop/fans-queued-overnight-to-get-tickets-for-g-dragons-one-of-a-kind-concert-in-malaysia/www.runningintothesun.com" target="_blank">RITS website</a>.<br />

<a class="colorbox cboxElement" href="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/05/proxy.jpg" rel="colorbox-412531" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="proxy.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter wp-image-412541" height="533" src="http://en.korea.com/files/2013/05/proxy.jpg" width="414" /></a></div>
Super Junior’s Eunhyuk and Donghae are releasing a new single album
on June 19th. To celebrate the release of their new album, the duo will
be holding a launch event in Japan on July 4th.<br />
<br />
The adorable pair from Super Junior are known to be great friends and
have a huge fan following known as “Eunhae” shippers. So when the duo’s
first album “Oppa, Oppa” was released in 2011, it came as no surprise
that it was a big hit with fans. The day it was released in Japan, it
quickly reached #2 on the Oricon charts and went on to place #1 on the
Tower Records’ daily charts.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it is due to the success of the first album in Japan that the
duo is now releasing their second album for Japanese fans and holding
the launch party in Tokyo. The album is entitled “I Wanna Dance” and
includes the title song, plus an additional song called “Love That I
Need.” The 2nd song was composed by Henry from Super Junior-M and
features him on the album.<br />
<br />
To see Eunhae talking about their new album,The English translation is written below.<br />

One of Korea’s top singer, Baek Ji Young is now pregnant and is expecting her first child with fiancee, actor Jung Suk Won!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
According to insiders, Ji Young is now entering her fourth month of pregnancy and is expected to give birth this fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Baek Ji Young, who is currently featured in Mnet’s ‘<em>Voice Korea 2 </em>‘ as a coach and Jung Suk Won, who is busy filming his latest movie ‘<em>N.L.L.-Battle of Yeonpyeong</em>‘
had announced their upcoming wedding in June last month and had denied
the rumours of pregnancy. However, they are now said to be expecting
their first child. Baek Ji Young is in her early pregnancy stage and
unable to make long-distance trips while Jung Suk Won is busy with his
filming. Both reasons contributed to them not being able to have their
honeymoon right after the wedding. However, both of them accepted that
fact with an open heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The couple and their families are thrilled
and elated with the news and are eager to receive a recent addition into
their family. A very big congratulation to the happy couple from fans
from all over the world!</div>
