The ‘Milky Couple’ lives on – more IU and Wooyoung cuteness!

2PM’s Wooyoung recently surprised IU by pretending to be a fan of hers on the phone!

When IU guested on the radio program, “Lee Soo Young’s Music Show“, she took a call from a very avid ‘fan’. Wooyoung pretended to be a boy from Busan who idolizes IU; consequently, when he first ‘learned’ that he was talking to IU, he kept saying, “Am I talking with IU? Is this really IU???”


Wooyoung pulled out his acting skills to make his voice sound really shocked and nervous. When Lee Soo Young asked the fan why he liked IU, he replied “There’s no specific reason“. He said that all of his friends liked her, and loved seeing her on “Dream High“. Hilariously, he also told her not to talk to ‘Jason’ anymore because he’s “a bad person“.

The fan revealed himself to be an ‘aspiring singer from Busan’, and he wanted to sing a song for IU. He belted out the chorus from 2PM’s “Again & Again“, as IU listened on with amazement. Lee Soo Young was quick to pick up Wooyoung’s voice, and scolded, “Wooyoung, please stop!”, but IU remained clueless, even commenting that he sounded like either Wooyoung or Junsu.

When Wooyoung finally admitted his identity, IU was shocked and couldn’t hold back her laughter. Afterwards, she grabbed a sheet of paper to fan her face, and said that she couldn’t believe it was really Wooyoung. The two asked each other why they both haven’t been keeping in touch, and Wooyoung revealed that he was busy promoting in Japan.

Near the end, he commented that he listens to IU every night before he goes to sleep and requested IU’s song, “Slowly Slowly“.

Dumbfoundead releases track “Charlie Sheen” with Traphik & Jin


With the American actor Charlie Sheen’s recent drug scandal dominating headlines and swallowing up tabloids as of late, it was only a matter of time until the controversial celebrity figure got a rap song dedicated to his highly publicized downfall.

Three of the hottest Asian American rappers of today, Dumfoundead, Traphik (aka Timothy DeLaGhetto) and Jin got together and collaborated on the epic (and aptly titled) track, Charlie Sheen. Unsurprisingly, the trio delivers with a comedic style and dope lyrics sprinkled with punchline references like “winning” and “tiger blood.”

The music video was directed by Kevin Boston; check it out below!



Although recently crowned as American television’s highest paid actor with a payroll exceeding $2 million per episode on Two and a Half Men, Sheen’s escalating drug and personal problems got himself sacked from the show earlier this month. Since his downfall, the celebrity has given a number of bizarre and controversial interviews and also opened a Twitter account (accumulating over one million followers in just over twenty four hours, breaking the world record).

Behind the scenes:


Produced by Tatsuro Mille for GlobalCityMusic, Charlie Sheen will be released on iTunes starting next week.

SM Entertainment files a lawsuit in support of S.M The Ballad


SM Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against the unfair judgment which deemed S.M The Ballad’s album as ‘inappropriate for youths’.

According to the Seoul Administrative Court, SM Entertainment filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Gender, Equality, & Family, stating, ”We cannot accept the judgment which was made with imprecise standards.”


The Ministry of Gender, Equality, & Family deemed S.M The Ballad’s track, “Another Day“, as inappropriate for anyone under legal age due to the lyrics’ references to alcohol (“Drunk on alcohol so that I don’t miss you” and “If you fall asleep drunk, you dream“).

Yet representatives of SM Entertainment are claiming this judgment to be ridiculous. One particular representative expressed their opinion to Star News, saying “We don’t understand why they would flag it for inappropriate content based on references to alcohol. They didn’t consider the charm of the song as a whole. Judging by specific words impedes the writers’ freedom of expression.”

Last November, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, SHINee’s Jonghyun, TRAX’s Jay and Jino worked together for a project group named ‘S.M The Ballad’. However, since the album was deemed as inappropriate for youths, fans under 19 years old was unable to purchase the album.
