Lee Hyori’s highly anticipated music video released!


Megaupload
Credits: Veoh

Highly anticipated and not disappointing in the least. Really bright and colorful all the way through, and Miss Sexy Diva doesn’t seem to be growing any older–in other words, she’s never looked better! Just fantastic.

Personally, I’m not yet sure about the song, but the music video’s a fun watch. Download the HQ version via Megaupload by clicking on the above link. Please do credit if you decide to reupload or post the link anywhere else (and a link back here would be even better!).

Tohoshinki reaches #1 once more!

Tohoshinki (Dong Bang Shin Ki, TVXQ) does it again in conquering Japan’s Oricon chart. THSK’s 23rd single “どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう?” (Doushite Kimi Wo Suki Ni Natte Shimattandarou?; trans: Why Did I Fall In Love With You?), released July 16th, reached number one on its first day. Congratulations, boys!

This is THSK’s fourth #1 on the Oricon charts after their singles “SUMMER
~Summer Dream/Song for you/Love in the Ice~”, “Purple Line”, and “Beautiful You / 千年恋歌.”

Check out the (awesome) a capella version of “どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう?” on Youtube:

Kwon Sangwoo and Son Taeyoung revealed to be dating.

Hallyu star Kwon Sangwoo (32) and Miss Korean runner-up/talent Son Taeyoung (2 8) are currently dating.

The two met coincidentally through mutual friends, and they naturally started off with a friendly relationship that eventually bloomed into something more. Those around the two were aware of the relationship and have kept it a secret. The couple seems to be serious enough to be considering marriage in the near future.

Super Junior reaches #4 on the Oricon charts.

Super Junior has reached #4 with their first single release ‘U/TWINS’ in Japan. This is particularly extraordinary in that the single was primarily announced as Korean track with the Japanese version of ‘U’ available on the single as a bonus. Upon hearing this news, Super Junior has expressed, “Thank you for all the love you have given us. Upon hearing the news that we had reached #4 on the Oricon charts with our first released single in Japan, we were all very shocked and happy. We would like to return to Japan with a performance that is equal to the love we have received so far.”

이렇게 큰 사랑 주셔서 감사하다. 일본에서 첫 발매한 한국 라이센스 음반이 오리콘 싱글 차트 4위에 올랐다는 소식을 듣고 멤버들 모두 놀랐고 무척 행복했다. 뜨겁게 사랑해 주시는 만큼 멋진 공연으로 다시 일본을 찾고 싶다.

Super Junior is currently getting ready for their 1st Asia Tour ‘SUPER SHOW’ in Bangkok, which is on the 12th.

Sung Jiroo “Xiah Junsu, I love you!” surprising confession.

Sung Jiroo.

Sung Jiroo has recently confessed his love for Dong Bang Shin Ki’s Xiah Junsu through a video message.

On KBS’s Sang Sang Plus Season 2 due to air on the 8th, Sung Jiroo said he would like to act with Xiah Junsu. Recently Sung Jiroo reached number one on internet seach engines. Something only extremely popular stars are able to accomplish, the reason for Sung Jiroo’s number one search was all thanks to Xiah Junsu. Xiah Junsu claimed, “If I were to act I would like to be like Sung Jiroo” in an interview that had surfaced online, which immediately made Sung Jiroo the number one searched subject on the internet.

Sung Jiroo said, “One day, all of sudden, my friends kept texting me congratulations. I was wondering what happened, so I stopped to check at a nearby internet cafe, and upon seeing ‘Xiah Junsu-Sung Jiroo’ searched I was even shocked.”

Originally not familiar with the group Dong Bang Shin Ki, he looked them up and now he says he is a fan. On the episode of Sang Sang Plus Season 2, he left a video message for Xiah Junsu saying “If there is a chance, I would like to act with you.” He ended his video message with cute “I love you!”, creating laughter on the set.

Sung Jiroo’s video message will be shown on Tuesday the 8th, 11:05PM on KBS’s Sang Sang Plus Season 2.

We Got Married’s 100th Day Wedding Photoshoot Images

Three original couples of \'We Got Married.\'

Episode 17 (080706) was a blast. All the wedding photoshoots were gorgeous, so naturally I desired for some HQ, officially released images from the shoots–or at least some higher quality, non-cap images. I managed to stumble upon a few after searching Naver. They’re not very big in size, and some of them are just medium-quality, but I reckon these are better than nothing!

There are a few for each couple (2- Crown J ♥ Seo Inyoung; 3- Andy ♥ Solbi; 7 with some repeats- Alex ♥ Shinae). The last four Alex and Shinae shots are all thanks to paihu @ Soompi forums!
