MBLAQ’s Thunder stinks – gets a new nickname


It seems that MBLAQ Thunder, known for his good looks, had recently gotten himself a new nickname ’smelly-dol’?.

This was during the recent filming of MBC Every1 Idol Season 5, when talent Kang YeBin had "exposed" Thunder saying that he smells, giving him his new nickname.

The episode that day was an enjoyable date with MBLAQ for the female MCs Shin BongSeon, Jung Juri and guest appearance Kim NaYeong, Kim SaeRom and Kang YeBin.

But the problem comes when it was the time for the game of selecting partners. There was a female guest appearance who said that she would choose the MBLAQ member with the best smell, and Kang YeBin said, "Thunder’s feet smells".

Thunder was seen a little flustered and did not know what to say, and then the other female guest appearances have saved the situation by saying that it was cute of Thunder.

Meanwhile, Thunder showed off his baby-like skin as requested by one of the noonas on the show.

The show is set to air on 6th January.

Five minutes later, Oguri had also been spotted. During interviews he usually only looked down and said "We just want to relax a little. After all it is a journey with our family". Hence, Oguri's family could also be seen around the two at that time.

As for the questions, if they were to marry this year Oguri said "That's not our plan." Despite the clear negation, the two of them wear the golden necklaces, representing the bond between them. According to friends and people around them, however, both of them would like to marry quickly; therefore a sudden arrangement might be possible.

G Dragon summoned to court over sexual themes


Big Bang's G-Dragon will be summoned to a criminal investigation for the violation of the Youth Protection Act and for lewd conduct.

The investigation will focus on G-Dragon's 1st solo concert last year, "Shine a Light", which exhibited sexual and violent themes, and the fact that it was rated as "strictly prohibited for pre-teens under the age of 12".

The Eastern Seoul District Prosecutor official stated, "We are in the process of collecting and reviewing all the information on the subject matter," then continued, "We will determine the specific time frame when G-Dragon will be summoned to this investigation after this."

G-Dragon held his concert last December which included a sexy performance with a female dancer for his song, Breathe.

The prosecutors are seeking for reasons why "She’s Gone" and "Korean Dream", which were banned by the same Act in November, were still added to the show.

The two songs mentioned are considered not suitable for minors and are prohibited for sale, rent, screening and/or distributing in any channels by this law.

Individuals who are convicted of lewd conduct according to the Article 245 will face fine not exceeding ₩ 5,000,000 and one-year imprisonment and the penalties for the violation of the Youth Protection Act are ₩ 20,000,000 in fines and three-year imprisonment.

A representative from YG Entertainment gave a statement on the issue saying, "YG will assist the investigators in this process and will take care of it on behalf of the client (G-Dragon)" and added, "we will hereby accept the decision and are responsible for the legal action taken according to the Act."

Celebrating Chinese New Year, sticking up Chinese scrolls. In Coca Cola's New Year's short clip for the year of the tiger, naturally they cannot miss out one important segment. Fahrenheit even volunteered, with the 4 big kids lifting up Chinese ink brushes, creating four New Year scrolls that were full of joy but at the same time cutely mischievous. Calvin without a second of thought wrote "Happy everyday"*, Wu Chun sent out "Big happiness", Jiro immediately followed with "Cute and happiness" and last but not least Arron's was "Joy and happiness" . Gold letterings on a red background , passing it out is not only festive and pleasurable, even more so is Fahrenheit's enthusiasm and passion, and not to mention their deep love towards their fans.

When discussing the new Chinese New Year commercial, Fahrenheit also expressed their happiness, "This commercial is really creative! While filming the commercial we were so at ease and it was so atmospheric. At the set the atmosphere made us feel as if we were celebrating Chinese New Year early. After being so busy for a year, right now we really want to welcome in the New Year with our friends and family."

Coming from Brunei, Wu Chun especially revealed what kind of food they ate back at home on the night of New Year's Eve, " In Brunei celebrating the New Year is very similar to China, after eating dinner on New Year's Eve, with my father, brother, sister, nieces and nephews we gather together bringing some snacks, sweets and nuts and also drink cola." Fahrenheit in actual fact are just like normal people, when they don't have to preform they will definitely go back to be with their families, to eat at the family reunion dinner, enjoying the feeling of being reunited.

"On New Year's Eve am most likely to be with my family, always happy, eating snacks, drinking Coca Cola watching TV together." Calvin said "It can be hard to meet up with good friends; we can only send each other text messages, giving blessings to each other. But after seeing this advert, everyone will know how to celebrate the New Year together even if you're not in the same place." In this Coca Cola commercial, Jiro will teach us how to celebrate with family as well as friends. "Young people have gotten used to the internet, on New Year's Eve the internet can help us fulfill our wishes of being together with friends." The weird and wonderful Jiro laughed saying "just like in the commercial, the four of us good friends celebrating together through the internet. When it reaches 12 O'clock on New Years Eve, we will toast with our Coca Cola, sharing the first taste of happiness, sharing the New Year and a new beginning.

Fahrenheit for the Chinese New Year commercial perform together "the first taste of happiness", also inviting consumers to participate in the shooting of the MV. Through the uploads of video on their website, they will select the most creative style for passing the Coca Cola bottle, working together to create a New Year's MV that includes participating consumers. Fahrenheit said "We really hope the more people that join in the better, this will make it more fun and more interesting. Everyone can make a video to show their own skills, to show off their creative pass."

Playing spin the coca-cola bottle, sharing the happiness


From the 11th January 2010, consumers can go onto www.icoke.cn to upload a video of the most creative idea on how they can pass the Coca Cola bottle to each other, gathering consumers all around the world to join in with Fahrenheit to create the MV.

Wu Chun suggested " to create an eye catching video you might need people to help with coordination to complete the pass, everyone can get co-workers, friends or even family to join in, this way the process of passing on cola can mean a lot more and even allow you to socialize and share the happiness. Calvin also added "when first starting you can do what we did and use something lighter to represent the Coca Cola, practice until you have mastered the technique and then you can use a coke bottle. Of course you can choose different Coca Cola bottles for example the aluminum can, glass bottle or even the plastic bottles. After shooting you only need to follow the upload instructions step by step on the internet and it should be done, this shouldn't be too hard for everyone!" Arron extremely excited and including the other Fahrenheit members are anticipating what techniques people will use in the videos that will be extremely creative or overflow with clever ideas to help welcome the year of the tiger with them.

In order to increase your chances of being selected Jiro reveals a little trick "during filming if you count the beats while moving this will help and also when editing the video it will be easier to join other groups onto it. In actual fact to make the passing movement more rhythmic and easier to edit, the director specially gave each of them for their shot a fixed beat count. Like counting beats in music, as well as performing they must also coordinate in limited beat counts being cool, skillful and also use creative passing movements. But of course this was no problem for Fahrenheit, they each designed a complex movement to pass on the Coca Cola bottle, whether it was tossed and turned, from left to right each time they were able to stick to the required beat to finish the passing delivery.

* please note the phrase 可樂 also means cola but can also mean happiness

New drama P.S. Man to follow Autumn’s Concerto


The new TTV/SETTV idol drama that follows Autumn's Concerto has finally announced its leads actors and a new title. Previously named Fall in Love with P.S. Man, its title has now been changed to Tou Xin Da Sheng P.S. Nan (偷心大聖P.S.男, roughly translates to Master Heart-robber P.S. Man). SETTV revealed that the drama will include 4 lead actors, instead of the usual 2-lead 2-supporting combo. Easy Fortune Happy Life’s Blue Lan and My Queen’s James Wen have been cast as the male leads. Sonia Sui and Bianca Bai, who are represented by the same modeling agency, will be the lead actresses.

SETTV originally held a contest to find their "P.S. Man" several months ago. Unfortunately the search was met with controversies as SETTV was rumored to have already cast Mike He for the role, and that the contest was a mere publicity stunt. 10 finalists were eventually chosen from over 1000 contestants, but none will be playing the "P.S. Man" as the role went to Blue Lan. They will undergo acting lessons and will be given smaller roles in the drama depending on their performance.

Model-turned-actress Sonia Sui will play a kindergarten teacher in the new drama. She had a great year in 2009 with her breakout roles in Black & White and The Happy Times of That Year. However, many have commented that she looks like the older woman in her pairing with Blue Lan. As for her rise to lead actress status, Sonia Sui said, "This proves models can act." In fact, Sonia Sui has played a lead role back in 2004’s Love Overcomes Everything. When this drama was brought up in the interview, she revealed that she still hasn't been paid for her work yet.

In addition to the leads actors, SETTV also announced that Autumn's Concerto’s child star Xiao Xiao Bin will be back to play Bianca Bai’s son in the new series. GTV is fuming as he is also in their drama Down with Love starring Jerry Yan. Xiao Xiao Bin will be battling himself when Down with Love premieres on January 24th against Autumn's Concerto, and then again when P.S. Man airs.
