IU opens up about her family and her past

Last week, IU revealed that she would be speaking frankly about her family and her past for the first time through KBS‘s ‘Win Win‘.

On December 13th, IU finally shared some stories about her past, which was impacted by poverty. According to producers, IU said, “When I was younger, I had no choice but to live separately from my parents because we were so impoverished. I lived with my grandmother, a cousin, and my younger brother for a year and a half in a studio room.”



She continued, “The room was always cold and there was never enough food to eat. We were barely able to live by on money my grandmother made from selling small hair accessories at the market. I rarely met with or spoke to my parents and consoled myself whenever I felt lonely that I still had my grandmother.”

Because of the poor conditions of her home, IU confessed that she liked spending time at the rehearsal room than her own home. “Instead of my lonely and cold home, I liked my rehearsal studio better. More than anything, I was glad to be able to eat as much as I could and sleep in a warm bed at night.”



A year before her debut, IU revealed that she had been dropped from 20 different auditions and had even been involved in fraud.



The full episode airs at 11:15 p.m. KST on December 13th.

Jang Geun Suk & YoonA’s drama ‘Love Rain’ holds press conference

On December 13th, co-stars Jang Geun Suk and SNSD‘s YoonA attended the press conference for their upcoming drama, ‘Love Rain‘, and discussed its production with PD Yoon Suk Ho.

PD Yoon is best known for his hit seasonal melodramas like ‘Autumn Tale‘, ‘Winter Sonata’, ‘Summer’s Scent’, and ‘Spring Waltz’, all of which created the Hallyu boom in Japan.



‘Love Rain’ marks his first return after a five year hiatus, and the PD revealed that he “couldn’t ignore the influence of Hallyu when casting actors.” He stated, “The term ‘Hallyu’ follows me wherever I go; it was impossible to ignore. I hemmed and hawed over how to create a new drama that could be popular all over the world, and I think this played a factor in my decision to cast Jang Geun Suk and YoonA.”



YoonA was asked what it was like to get back into acting after her two year break. She replied, “I’ve been overcome with a desire to act again over these past two years. When I saw ‘Love Rain’, I knew that I had to do it, so I’m grateful that I’m able to join the cast. Honestly, there is some pressure — although I could find a connection to the modern character, but I worried over ‘Yoon Hee’, who comes from the ’70s. Still, the director leads all of us very well, so I’m able to film in a comfortable environment.”



She continued, “We’re currently filming the final scenes of the ’70s, and I think I did better than I thought. I’m looking forward to the final product myself.”



Commenting on working with her co-star, Jang Geun Suk, YoonA said, “I was surprised to see the way he conversed with fans that visited the set. I’m shy, so it’s hard for me to approach them but he treated them so comfortably. It was fun to watch.”



Jang Geun Suk responded by revealing that he was a fan of SNSD. “I’m YoonA’s personal fan. I’m a Sone. In order to improve her condition, I’ll always secretly leave a cup of coffee on the hood of her car every morning. I think I’m diligently doing my part as a Sone.”



On his actual role, he stated, “In the drama, I play the role of an art student from the ’70s. I think it’s ironic how a lot of the roles I’ve been in require that I sing.”

SHINee celebrates the release of their Barcelona travel book

On December 13th, SHINee‘s Onew, Key, and Taemin held a book release conference for their Barcelona travel book, ‘Children of the Sun‘.

The book is a photo essay documenting the trio’s experience during their week-long stay in Barcelona, Spain. It features journal-like entries from the members as they delve into personal stories and thoughts. As of the 13th, the book ranked in the top 10 bestsellers list.



At the press conference, the boys began, “We wrote down what we felt and experienced together in a diary format that we think many people will be able to connect to. We experienced a lot of things and felt a lot of passion as we learned about the culture of another country; it was also an opportunity for us to see a reflection of ourselves off stage.”



When asked why they chose Barcelona, they replied, “It was our first break in a while, and we wanted to choose a location far away. All three of us were immediately attracted to Barcelona. We ate and hung out in the streets as much as we could, and we hope that more people visit Barcelona. For those that can’t, we hope that they’ll indirectly experience the joy through our book.”



Key revealed, “Ever since our debut, I wanted to show this particular side of us. I think it’s a book that aptly captures our natural side off stage. My mom bought about 40 copies for herself to share with her friends. I think it is a fun book, and I hope that people will take an interest in it.”



The boys also touched on some habits they discovered about one another. Onew began, “Key has always liked shopping, so while on vacation, he was walking around everywhere, without even a minute of rest. Although we’ve promoted together for such a long time, the three of us had different things we wanted to do. For example, I had a hard time understanding why Taemin was so adamant about buying a soccer uniform.”



He continued, “We had some free time in the middle of our vacation, and Key went shopping while Taemin went to swim. All three of us have very different hobbies.”



Key added, “I saw Onew hyung cooking and felt like I discovered a new side to him. I was surprised to see him cook, but even more surprised with the taste. Why? Because I chewed on raw rice when I tasted his dish.”

Boyfriend’s consistent success makes them a group to watch in 2012

2011 could veritably be called the ‘year of the idol group debuts’. Over 30 idol groups launched their career this year, and that’s not including the numerous sub-units from already-established groups.

So, what does it take to rise above this swollen sea of talent? While a rookie group has to possess a distinctive image or ‘concept’, they must also have great musicality, consistency, and promising statistics. Boyfriend seems to possess all that in spades, which is why they’re quickly becoming one of the best male rookie groups of the year.

This six-member pop group debuted with “Boyfriend” back in May, and earned a wide fanbase from the get-go (especially with the ladies, whose ages ranged from young tweens to older nuna and even ahjumma fans).
But the definitive moment for Boyfriend came in October, when they returned with ‘Don’t Touch My Girl‘. This single gave the boys a skyrocketing level of popularity that resulted in louder fan chants during their lives and an immediate recognition of their name.
While the single itself is catchy, Boyfriend’s success is also credited to the consistency in their brand — “Don’t Touch My Girl” had a more aggressive sound, but its visuals stayed true to Boyfriend’s pure image. This pleasing contradiction is also found in the song’s lyrics, which deals with the subject of an abandoned love expressed in an assertive, if not slightly brash manner.

“There’s one thing I can’t stand — It’s you. You know it. Don’t touch my girl who is pure,” the boys shout to a faceless adversary. That bold attitude mixed with their prince-like looks offers a combination that’s particularly irresistible to female K-Pop fans.

Going back to Boyfriend’s first single, “Boyfriend“, their music video accumulated over 6 million viewcounts on YouTube. Admittedly, it’s been a few months since it was launched, but the fact remains that this video’s stats are among some of the highest for 2011′s rookie idol groups, whose videos usually hover in the several hundred thousand mark.
YouTube alone isn’t a sufficient barometer for Boyfriend’s success rate. A rivalry helps to gain perspective on the level of one’s popularity, and Boyfriend can find some serious competition in B1A4.

Recently, SBS MTV conducted online polls from November 28th to December 11th, asking K-Pop fans to vote on several awards ranging from ‘Best New Artist’ to ‘Artist of the Year’. One of the categories Boyfriend was nominated for was ‘Best New Star’, alongside other male groups like B1A4 and Block B.
Many expected B1A4 to dominate because of news regarding their draft by Japanese agency Pony Canyon, who will help them debut in Japan next year. But Boyfriend proved that they were no pushovers; they secured a stalemate with B1A4 for hours, striding neck-in-neck with them to move beyond the 35 percentile. When the polls closed on the 11th, Boyfriend emerged on top with 36.36% to B1A4′s 36.13%.

Boyfriend’s concept consistency, their strong talent, and promising figures all cement their status as one of this year’s most successful rookie groups. Though there’s no word yet on whether they’ll expand to Japan, the boys have been receiving large amounts of attention from the international community here on allkpop. With the way they’re running now, they’ve definitely become an idol group from whom we’re expecting great things in 2012.

Trouble Maker’s HyunA and Hyunseung guest on ‘Gag Concert’

On December 11th, Troublemaker‘s HyunA and Hyunseung guested on KBS‘s ‘Gag Concert‘, where they played on their ‘sexy’ image.

HyunA emerged as a princess in a tight fitting red dress, immediately captivating the attention of the men on stage. Gagman Kim Junho braved up enough to ask, “So I heard that you cause a lot of trouble…”, before following up with a parody of the duo’s debut track, “Troublemaker”.



Kim Young Min then stepped forward and attempted to ‘capture’ HyunA from behind under the orders of Kim Jun Ho, causing Hyunseung to step up as her knight by exclaiming, “What do you think you’re doing to HyunA!”

Kim Young Min immediately cowered back, meekly stating, “Do you think I’m even capable of anything?!”



In the midst of protecting HyunA once again, Hyunseung accidentally injures his arm, to which HyunA responds by ripping off a piece of her dress to compress the wound. When he injures his leg, all eyes were on HyunA as she tried to sexily rip the bottom half of her dress, exposing a bit of her leg.

Upon being called out for staring, Kim Jun Ho complained, “But why are you only calling me out! He looked too!” He then pointed to a staff member that had poked his head out from under the stage to get a better view of HyunA’s dress ripping.

On December 10th and 11th, Super Junior performed at the Kyocera Dome, which is a major accomplishment considering the fact that they’ve yet to make a formal debut in Japan. Only the top artists are allowed to perform at this stadium, and yet the boys have managed to sell out both days of their concerts without making any formal promotions beforehand.



Super Junior performed their hit tracks, “Sorry Sorry“, “Bonamana“, and many fan favorites. They even brought on junior labelmates f(x) as special guests for “Oops!” A total of 38 songs were sung live, including Japanese versions of “Mr. Simple” and Super Junior-M‘s “Too Perfect“.



The concert was large and dramatic, in that the boys used wires, lasers, fountains, and cranes to create a truly spectacular experience for their fans. From powerful performances to ballads and special individual stages, the audience was described to have been enraptured from start to finish.



Concluding the concert, the members said, “It’s an honor for Super Junior to be able to hold a solo concert at such a big concert dome. Thank you for allowing us to create such memories together. As this is just the beginning, we’d love for you to continue to anticipate our world tour.”



The ‘Super Show 4′ will be taking its stop in Taipei in February.
