MBLAQ’s Mir Thinks of Secret’s Hyosung Before He Sleeps?!

MBLAQ’s Mir chose Secret’s Hyosung as his ideal girl.
During a recent recording of MBC Music’s “All the K-Pop,” which Mir hosts, he named his guest, Hyosung, as his ideal type. Mir started, “While my ideal types have changed numerously, Jeon Hyosung has always been my ideal girl. I especially love her laugh,” showing his everlasting affection for Hyosung. Fellow MC Boom then asked a mischievous question, asking, “Have you ever thought of Jeon Hyosung before going to sleep?” to which Mir instantly answered “I have thought of Jeon Hyosung before going to sleep.” He was then belatedly embarrassed at his comment and tried to explain, “I was simply thinking of a colleague before sleeping.”
During the episode, Hyosung will also talk about her past scandals with MBLAQ’s Lee Joon and BEAST’s Lee Ki Kwang. Regarding Lee Joon, she stated, “Lee Joon keeps making these rumors. I heard he was spreading how I was interested in him.” She continued to stress that she had no interest in him, leaving a warning for Lee Joon on air.
“All the K-Pop” will air the episode featuring Secret tonight, October 5, on MBC Music at 11PM KST.

DBSK’s Yunho Shares His Embarrassment Because Of an Elementary Student

Yunho, from duo DBSK, reveals the level of the group’s popularity.
DBSK recently made a guest appearance on KBS’s variety talk show “Story Show Do Dream” with fellow labelmate Super Junior’s Eunhyuk and Kyu Hyun.
On this day, he was asked “There have been a lot of idol groups coming out these days. Have you ever felt worried about the popularity?” He responded, “I actually asked an elementary student passing by, ‘Do you know DBSK?’ and there wasn’t really a response.” He continued, “Afterwards, I took off the mask that I was wearing and asked him, ‘Do you know Yunho?’ and he responded, ‘I don’t know. Why do you keep asking me?’”
He said, “It’s probably because most of the fans are now in their 20s and our non-active period was too long. This time, we tried to reach out to the elementary students by including choreography they would like” causing much laughter within the studio.
Kpopers, which idols do you think are the most popular among elementary students? Could it be Orange Caramel because of their family friendly concepts?

Girls’ Generation’s YoonA Has “Cartoonish” Waist/Hip Line?

Girls’ Generation’s YoonA and her curvy waist/hip line have been generating renewed interest lately after fan photos of her full body shots were posted on online community boards.

Netizens that came across the photos commented, “That first photo is golden,” “There’s a reason she’s the center member of Girls’ Generation,” and “She’s beautiful in every photo.”
Meanwhile, Girls’ Generation ranked #1 on three different categories on Japan’s Oricon Music Chart this week, topping the single chart with their fifth Japanese single “Oh!” and the DVD and Blu-ray Disc charts with “Girls’ Generation Complete Video Collection.”
