Kyaaa...

New info for Park Jung Soo as Leeteuk leader of Super junior fans...

According to netizens, it’s the 13-member group Super Junior leader Leeteuk. He has been selected to have the best looking leadership for an idol group in the community portals. On those sites, from the 16th to the 23rd, they had to answer the question “Which leader do you think has the best leadership?” When the survey was done, the results were announced on the morning of the 24th.

According to the survey, the oldest member and leader of super junior Leeteuk got 15,724 votes (34.2%) out of the 45,928 people voting, which gave him the first place. Netizens said that “the 13 members have been led wisely” and that’s why they gave Leeteuk a high score.

SonyuhShidae Taeyeon got 10,171 votes (22.1%), Dong Bang Shin Ki’s Uknow Yunho got 9,850 votes (21.4%) making them 2nd and 3rd of the survey. SS501’s Kim Hyunjoong, SHINee’s Onew, and 2PM’s Jaebum were following in the top.

Kim Heechul who is the same age as Leeteuk admired his leadership, which is different from everyone else: “He always puts the members before himself” and “even if he gets angry at his dongsaengs in the end he gives them a tight hug and says he is sorry”.

As much as i love teukie, i'll choose yunho for best leader. When he does use his authority he is able to get all the members to listen to him.

SNSD’s Jessica and SHINee’s Onew Get Together One Year Later

Taken from : http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/snsds_jessica_and_shinees_onew_get_together_one_year_later/

On Girls Generation / SNSD’s 2nd mini album, “Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)”, there's a track called “One Year Later” which has been said to be a duet between SNSD’s vocalist Jessica and SHINee’s leader, Onew.

Both are known for their powerful vocals but the question is, will the two voices blend together well? I’m sure it will because if it didn’t this duet with the two probably wouldn’t exist.

The full mini album will be out on the 25th so be sure to check out the duet by buying the mini album.

And in other news, the male voice in "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" actually isn't Micky Yoochun of DBSK/TVXQ (very busy in Japan), but its is Yoo Youngjin, whom apparently is an SM Entertainment producer who's voice also featured in SHINee's "SHINee World".

Tuesday 16 June 2009

If you were lovers with a SHINee member…




you just might be the luckiest yet the most hated girl… or boy in the world.


5 member idol group, SHINee were on KBS CoolFM ‘Maybee’s Volume Up’ Radio where they honestly spoke out their opinions when asked questions of different scenarios of ‘If you had a girlfriend…?


’First off, DJ Maybee questioned leader Onew, “When your girlfriend is upset, how would you cheer her up?” He answered saying “I will play/sing her a song and make her feel better.” Aw, how sweet. I wish my ex-boyfriends did that for me. And Onew even sang “Tears are Dropping” by K.Will on the radio.


Next up, Jonghyun was asked, “How do you feel about girlfriends older than you?” Then my lovely Jonghyun answered, “I don’t’ think age should be a variable in love” and even added, “Same zodiac signs are okay, too.” *Jaw drops* Jonghyun, did ‘Nuna Is So Pretty’ get to your head or something? You would go out with someone 12 years older than you? Well, what about someone three years younger than you *wink*? With his answer, the nuna staff members at the radio station went all giddy.


Now Key was asked, “What would you do if your girlfriend came out to meet you and dressed in an outfit a fashion terrorist would wear?” And to the question, Key answered, “I’ll go shopping with her and buy everything for her.” Hm, don’t spoil your girlfriend Key; she’s probably already spoiled at the fact she’s going out with an idol.


Then hottie Minho gave off a manly aura with his answer to the question, “What would you do if your found out your girlfriend and friend were contacting each other?” Minho answered, “I’ll tell her to stop because she has me.


”Then youngest Taemin was questioned, “What would you do if your parents were against your girlfriend?” Well, Taemin is the baby so he replied; “I would persuade them by acting cute and nagging.”


Looks like the SHINee boys need more experience on how to be the perfect boyfriend, excluding Onew. Boys, I’m willing to help any day.

The gods rise again; Key or KiBum might join Mirotic Concert in Bangkok, Wednesday June 10, 2009 Korea

WWhhhhaaaaaa.....
New Info From DBSK...
For Cassiopeia you Must Read It...

The gods rise again--South Korean superstar boy band Dong Bang Shin Ki returning to Thailand

Cover your ears. The sounds of teens screaming will be deafening as South Korean boy band TVXQ - better known as across Asia as Dong Bang Shin Ki - returns to Thailand later this month.

They'll be performing two shows at Impact Arena on June 27 and 28 as part of their third Asian tour.

With three recent concerts in South Korea that sold out in a few minutes, tickets here are reported to be selling fast.

"Dong Bang Shin Ki's upcoming concert will be on the same large scale as in South Korea," says Anuwat Wichiennarat, managing director of organiser 4 Nologue Media.

The budget for the shows is Bt70 million, with more than Bt20 million going for the stage production and just under Bt10 million on the six-metre-high, 54-metre-wide gigantic monitor. About 100 Koreans, including five lads in the band, are coming to Bangkok, along with three 40-metre containers containing the stage sets, production equipment, the lighting and sound system.

"We expect to have fans from all over Asia coming to Thailand because the concerts here will be the same as in South Korea and free of the constraints faced in China," says Anuwat.

Big enough for bicycles"

The stage will be designed like a cross with additional smaller stages and plenty of special effects. The band will also take a bicycle ride around the hall."

Dong Bang Shin Ki will probably be supported by Kim Kibum, or Key, one of the members of SM Entertainment's rising boy band, SHINee, who wowed Thai fans earlier this year.

Dong Bang Shin Ki are promoting their new studio album, "Mirotic", which has topped the charts in many Asian countries, including Thailand. It won the Album of the Year prize at 2008 MKMF Korean Music Festival Awards.

Four of the members contributed towards the new outing. Xiah Junsu wrote the track, "Picture of You", Max Changmin penned "Love in the Ice", Hero Jaejoong wrote "Don't Cry My Lover" and Micky Yoochun penned "Love Bye Love".

ASIAN DREAMS--

"Yamaha Presents TVXQ! The Third Asia Tour Concert - 'Mirotic' in Bangkok" is on June 27 and 28 at Impact Arena in Muang Thong Thani. The shows are at 6pm

.-- Proceeds will benefit the Home for Handicapped Animals Foundation, Siriraj Foundation, The Mother Princess Medical Volunteer Foundation and the Foundation for the Blind in Thailand.

Yep, the group (Shinee) is finally back, after a 4 month break, after ending promotions for their 1st repackage album which ended back in January 2009. Shinee has just released their latest mini-album titled 'Romeo' which had just been released on the 25th of May 2009. The boys were meant to debut on stage 1/2 weeks ago but due to Onew's Injury and the President's accident, the stage was forced to pull back until this week.

Shinee members pulled of a better show than yesterdays on KBS Music Bank. Their hit 'Juliet' is a sentimental song which contains lyrics which are sensitive and impressive. Though the rhythm of the song may sound to sound like their previous song 'Love Like Oxygen' in their first album, the song contained a more refined and acoustic drum beat to it.

Onew, who injured his teeth, drew much more attention as his injury forced to pull back their comeback stage to a later date. Though fans say that Onew has definitely put off a good show after having an accident. The stage was more intense and sweeter as it was suppose to.
Onew's voice was completely new and contained a more gentle sound which made the song more better.

The new album has already been sweeping up various internet charts, and their album sales are continously growing. The album is currently being a hot topic amongst the audience. Shinee's mini-album 'Romeo' has been released.

As for Tohoshinki, which has never been told and even in their official web never released that they ever cried, yet 2 years ago on June 19th 2007–at the last stage of their “Tohoshinki 2nd Live Tour” in Budoukan, at encore while were singing “PROUD”, suddenly Yoochun was teary and couldn’t manage to continue singing. Junsu who was beside him got the effect and also the rest of members did cry as well.


Tohoshinki who is a top artist in Korea, with a high popularity, had to endure the feeling of being no one as a rookie in Japan. “There’s maybe no one will welcome us.” they ever said this to see how things were going at that time.


“In Japan as a rookie, the first problem was language which we didn’t even understand. We felt uneasy as were separated miles away from our home country, thinking how if no one liked us, etc. While finally 2 years ago, after all those hard working years… on such a huge stage of Budoukan, in front of great number of fans, we couldn’t stand but cried.” – Tohoshinki.


Tohoshinki who currently has been active in all cities around Japan, they had endured anykind of uneasy feeling, restlessness for finally to be in where they are now.
