SM Entertainment kembali melebarkan sayapnya sebagai salah satu
agensi artis terbesar di Korea Selatan. Agensi yang menaungi Girls
Generation dan Super Junior itu akan memproduksi acara pencarian bakat
baru. Acara yang akan diberi judul “Performance A” itu rencananya akan
ditayangkan di stasiun TV Jepang, TBS.
“SM Entertainment dan produser Yoshimoto
Kyogo tengah memproduksi acara pencarian bakat ‘Perfomance A’,” ujar
perwakilan stasiun TBS. “Acara itu akan mulai tayang 22 April.”
Rencananya, acara tersebut akan mencari bibit-bibit muda berbakat
dari seluruh Asia. Yang menarik, juri acara ini tak hanya berasal dari
Korea dan Jepang. Para ahli di dunia hiburan yang berasal dari China,
Thailand, Amerika Serikat dan Perancis juga akan menjadi juri acara
tersebut.
Para kontestannya tak hanya berkompetisi menampilkan kemampuan mereka
dalam bernyanyi dan menari. Namun bakat-bakat lain seperti sulap dan
melawak juga bisa mengikuti acara pencarian bakat itu. “Performance A”
akan menjadi acara pertama SM yang mereka produksi bersama agensi dan
stasiun luar negeri.
Sejumlah bintang-bintang SM seperti Sooyoung SNSD, Sungmin Super
Junior, Key SHINee dan Max Changmin TVXQ akan ikut membantu kesuksesan
acara ini. Selain stasiun TV Jepang, hak siar “Performance A” juga
disebut-sebut telah dibeli oleh Amerika Utara dan Eropa.
Super Junior members spend a boys’ night out
Super Junior‘s Kyuhyun and his fellow members spent an intimate night out among themselves with food and drinks, once again displaying their close bromance!
Kyuhyun updated his Twitter with the above picture and the following message: “
A refreshing meeting with the hyungs Donghae, Eunhyuk, Yesung, and Kangin after a shoot! On a rainy day, pajeon [Korean pancake-like dish] is the best [to eat]! ^^ Hehehehehehehe.”
The pajeon they apparently had is long gone in the photos, not surprising since the members of Super Junior mostly have big appetites (perhaps with the exception of Leeteuk, who is the pickiest eater among them)!
What is present in the photos are their bowls of makgeolli, or Korean rice wine, as the boys raise them up in a gesture of making a toast.Judging from their bright and relaxed expressions, the atmosphere around them seems to be absent of any worries and anxieties.
Original stage names revealed for some of today’s most popular idols
Can you imagine your favorite idols’ promoting with their original stage names?
The Wonder Girls all originally were named ‘L.C‘, which stood for ‘Ladies Club‘. Sun was named ‘Sunny’, Sohee was named ‘IC’, and Yenny was named ‘Silver’. When HyunA was preparing for the group, she was named ‘Mint’, and inactive member Mimi was named ‘Berry’.
Before Big Bang was Big Bang, they were named ‘Diamond‘. T.O.P was named ‘Mark’, Daesung was named ‘Big Castle’, Seungri was named ‘Sonic’, and Taeyang was named ‘Taekwon’.
TVXQ was named ‘O Jang Yook Boo‘, which is a phrase meant to signify all the internal organs in the body. Super Junior‘s Leeteuk was named ‘Kangsoo’, Shindong was named ‘Woodong’, Kangin was named ‘Woongdam’, and Kyuhyun was named ‘Kwihyun’.
What do you think of these names?
Legendary 1st Generation idols choose the current groups they would most want to join
The legendary 1st generation idols who paved the way for current
idols, chose the idol groups from the current generation that they would
most like to be a part of.
On the March 13th episode of ‘Radio Star‘, g.o.d‘s Danny Ahn, Sechskies‘ Kim Jae Duk, NRG‘s Chun Myung Hoon, and H.O.T‘s Lee Jae Won were asked to choose a current generation idol group they would like to join.
Danny Ahn chose INFINITE because he reasoned, “Their
choreography is very definite. When INFINITE first debuted, I saw an
article where they said they wanted to become singers like g.o.d. I
think that’s why they remain more in my mind than the others.”
Lee Jae Won selected Super Junior and stated, “I
want to be a part of Super Junior. To be honest, you can sort of ride
the coattails of the other members. There are so many members, so you
don’t have to be burdened.” At this, MC Yoon Jong Shin joked, “It won’t seem apparent even if you slack off a little.” Lee Jae Won agreed and continued, “Since there are a lot of unique members, you just have to ride on their backs.”
When Yoon Jong Shin said, “Are you trying to say that they’re a little lacking?“, he replied, “No, I’m just saying that there are a lot of members“. Kyuhyun jokingly admitted, “We are a little laid back“, to which Lee Jae Won said, “If I go in there and do the dance, I don’t think people will notice.” Kyuhyun joked again, “That might actually happen.”
Sechskies’ Kim Jae Duk chose Big Bang
, stating, “I want to join my favorite group Big Bang. They’re very good at their music, and they’re so cool on stage.” He had brought along Jang Soo Won as a special guest, who said, “I want to be part of Super Junior, too. There are a lot of units where you can make money from.” When MC Kim Kuk Jin joked, “There are also a lot of members you can borrow money from“, and he replied coolly, “You’re right.” Kyuhyun revealed that he was close with Kangin, and Jang Soo Won joked, “Kangin
can leave and I’ll take his place. I don’t think I can go after him in
terms of conversation skills, but I think I can fill his part on stage.“
