K-POP SUPER LIVE is comin

6 of Korea's top artists/groups will be coming together for the "K-POP SUPER LIVE" concert.

Shin Hyesung and Junjin of Shinhwa, SG Wannabe, Super Junior-Happy, Tei and Wheesung will be holding a joint concert on January 31st in Tokyo, Japan. This will be the 3rd year running of the K-POP SUPER LIVE concert,

Kangin and Taeyeon’s Apology to the nursesAfter one week of the incident on the 19th in MBC FM Radio “Kangin Taeyeon’s Chinhan Chingoo” DJ Taeyeon sent out an official apology to the nurses.

DJ Kangin said in the opening “There’s a time when you feel the other person’s happiness when they say something. Then there is a time your life changes because of some words from another person. And then there are people who have to live their life with some words they said.” Taeyeon: “The power of words is big”. She added: “A small fire can burn down an entire forest.”

Kangin said “In your words, you have to think of the opposite. But depending on the circumstances you say words only from your perspective” and thus admitting the mistake Taeyeon did to the nurses. Taeyeon said: “I was sick last week and I didn’t think about the opposite when I said some things. I am really sorry if my words were wrong and have hurt you. I am going to try being more careful and thinking about the opposite.” After that, they both admitted the mistake and made an official apology to everyone.

Jaurim’s “20세기 소년소녀” was broadcasted after the apology. After the song, Taeyeon apologised again “I said it in the opening before but I want to apologise for my mistake last week. I think that I hurt many people and that many have thought that what I said was wrong. I feel immature about that.”. With that she admitted her mistake and was close to tears.

Kangin said: “Once more again with my head down I want to express my words of apology. We will not repeat the same mistake. Again, Taeyeon and I are apologising with our heads down.“

On the 12th, Taeyeon said: “I got to the hospital to get an injection but they said they couldn’t give me one because the nurse had to go to eat. But has the patient to be sick in the time when the nurse is free and has nothing to do like going to eat?” Because of that the discussions started. Kangin said “I think they lost their minds and only thought about themselves” and joked about “go to eat for the rest of your lives“.

As the discussion and anger of the nurses got too much, SNSD Taeyeon’s and Super Junior Kangin’s company SM Entertainment had to apologize fast but they didn’t know that discussions would continue. Thus they made an official apology through the radio broadcast on the 19th.

About Super Junior’s “U” being plagiarized

Questions have been raised about Super Junior’s song “U” being plagiarized by a Spanish music group. Super Junior fans posted an accusation of plagiarism against Adriel’s “Solo un Segundo,” claiming that the Spanish song is an exact copy of “U.”

However, Super Junior’s representative SM Entertainment refuted the claim by saying that although Super Junior has the right to use the music in Asia, Adriel is the one with the European right to the music. “U” was composed jointly by Swedish composer Ken Ingwersen and British musician Kevin Simm.

Similar accusations flared up with TVXQ’s “Mirotic” last year. The song composed by two American composers was given to both TVXQ and German singer Sarah Connor, causing misunderstanding among TVXQ fans. Music industry insiders explained that it’s become commonplace for foreign composers to license the same song for different musicians in different regions. They also advised Korean fans to keep pace with the changes in the music licensing and publishing field.

Kim So Eun KTF CF With Kim Kibum Makes A Comeback

Before Kim Bum in Boys Before Flowers, there was Kim Kibum. A KTF commercial of a fresh-faced 16 year-old Kim So Eun with Super Junior member, Kim Kibum which was released in 2005 has been attracting attention recently once more thanks to the growing popularity and interest in Kim So Eun.



In the CF, Kim So Eun appears at a bus stop with Kim Kibum a few meters away. She pretends to call her friend on the phone and shouts out her own number, hoping that Kibum will take notice. As So Eun was going to shout out her number for the 2nd time, a real text message comes in, and her ruse is broken. So Eun appears embarassed after that but the CF ends with So Eun having a big smile on her face after Kibum asks if she is getting on the bus too.

4 years down the road, Kim So Eun has certainly grown into a beautiful girl.


Here’s another piece of good news for fans of both Kim Bum and Kim So Eun. It was revealed on the 23rd that they are actually best friends and classmates at Chung-Ang University, majoring in film studies. What a brilliant coincidence.

Lee-teuk of Super Junior visits Son Jae-hee



Son Jae-hee is battling cancer. The 12-year-old appeared on Star King in May 2008 and serenaded the crowd. At the same time, she fulfilled her dream of meeting the show’s host Kang Ho-dong.

Son Jae-hee was diagnosed with brain cancer on her birthday in 2007. She underwent two operations and 10 chemotherapy treatments and became much better; so much so that she appeared on the SBS variety program.

However, in December 2008, Son Jae-hee’s health took a turn for the worse. The tumor is back and it is spreading.

Super Junior’s Lee-teuk, who played the keyboard for little Jae-hee during her Star King appearance, visited the girl recently. He left her a personal message in an autographed CD.

Lee-teuk isn’t the only one who has visited Jae-hee. Kang Ho-dong dropped in on Jae-hee on Dec 23 last year. His visit was recorded for a Star King episode.

6 Hottest Korean Artist of The Year 2008 In A-Star Mag(thailand)


No.1 Super Junior (High rating from the beginging till now)

Since the 1st time SJ debuted till now. We recieved tons of emails, phonecalls, SMS asking about the boys. Most of the fans said they dont like SJ just because of their cute looks but it’s because they’ve been working hard, their performances are awesome. We cannot imagine how many times they’ve been practicing to get the best performance on the stage. SJ is the inspiration for many fans.

No.2 DBSK (no one is greater than TVXQ)

Since their 1st debut, we got tons of requests about them such as “What kind of the girl does Micky Yoochun like?” , “Does Xiah Junsu’s father allow him to get married with Thai girls?” etc. The reason why boys become the most request is not because of their handsome look only but it’s because they’re the best in dancing, singing, performing. They’ve been trained hard and have been working hard. They’re the good model for teenagers. Afterall they got such a good heart, that’s why we all love them so much.


No3. Rain (the immortal of Korea)

We cannot deny the fact that Rain is the super star in Korea. From his poor childhood. How he’s been fighting to be able to stand in this position, makes us love him. From Korean to Hollywood, he’s the inspiration for many many new coming artists. And no matter what he does, he always got our attention.


No.4 Big Bang (Wake up the rap phenomenon)

We get used to the POP songs but Big Bang could just wake up the hip-hop nature in our blood. Normally hip hop would look rough and hard but Big Bang’s fashion is unbelievably awesome! Their songs are not too rough and the lyrics are from their talented leader “G-Dragon” this makes us so impressed in them.


No.5 F.T Island (unbelievable musicians)

Many people assume that F.T Island music was POP , according to their cute look. But in fact their songs are Pop-rock and they are so good performing live and dont forget that they’re only 16-18! They are super talented!


No.6 Wonder girls (the one and only girl band who win boys and girls hearts)

Actually there are only TOP 5 for the hottest artists only but if we don’t write about Wonder girls, we think we’re gonna get tons of complaints from A-star fans for sure. WG is the only girl band that the fans truly admit they are cool. According to their super sexy and super cute and super cool look, it’s not that difficult for us to fall for them. Cuz if they’re not cool, you think they are gonna have the concert in bangkok.

Top 5 Korean artists who got most requests in Star & Me column

No.1 Kim Jaejoong

Mr. Sweet-face with the shyly smile! The very 1st time that we made this column, it’s Jaejoong that the fans wrote about. It’s always Jaejoong and Jaejoong. The staff gotta swap Jaejoong’s articles with other artists (just trying to spread love to most artists as possible) and the love letters to Jaejoong are in the queue-to-be-posted till the end of 2009. Most letters are like “I admire Jaejoong Oppa because having been reading about his past, he’s a real tough guy and been working real hard to get to this point. He’s also kind and grateful to his parents and everyone who had been supporting him. I want to support him so that he’d be fighting with his hardwork in the future” and this is just a small part of the letters.

No.2 Yunho

Mr. Coolest leader! Sweet love letters to Yunho is “Dear Staff, since the day i was born till now.I’ve never seen any guy who is as cute as Yunnie bear. Is there any guy in this whole world who could dance as perfect as Yunho?”


No.3 Eun Hyuk

Mr. Sincere who super super loves Thailand. Though he didn’t speak much when he was here but people who saw his lovely smile cannot just escape away from his charms.



No.4 Lee-Teuk

The Sensitive leader! His sweet face with his sincere smile can melt our heart. This guy is super innocent and so real in everything (talk, laugh,smile or even cry). Sweet love letters to him “I’m impressed when i 1st saw him. He got the warm smile,he’s sincere and generous and always takes good care of other SJ members. He even sacrifices his own happiness so that other people can just smile. I really love him and will support him forever”


No5. Han-Kyung

The Generous big Daddy! He seems to be mature than any other SJ members. He takes good care of other members and consults them about everything (including the love problem) When SJ-M started to promote in China, it’s Han-Kyung who coordinated everything. Love letters to him is “I really love him from having been reading about his life. He’s been working so hard and he got a warm heart. He’s so modest. When I see him cry i wanna wipe away his tears”
