The San Francisco Pride Festival main stage performances are coming tomorrow and that means BoA will finally perform at one of the biggest stages she's had so far since debuting in America! She is allotted 20 minutes to perform and according to her interview on 106.1 KISS FM on Wednesday, June 24th, will be performing three songs in total. We, as fans, can only guess what those songs could be! "I Did It For Love" is a sure song that will be performed as it is her most recent single. "Eat You Up" was her very first song to be released in America, but there is also "Look Who's Talking". ccording to BoA's latest interview on California Music Channel, she will be performing "Energetic" for the first time!!

Also, for those going, make sure to make note of the time change for her performance. Her performance will be at 4:50PM and NOT 4:35PM. Thanks to BoAjjang member, bokachu , for catching the time change and the update on the "Energetic" performance!

From BoA's Twitter:
"whew, on the plane to SFO...we almost didn't make it! they even locked the doors and called us on the intercom, how embarassing!"

Make sure to follow her on her twitter! She's gained over 5,000 followers in the last two and a half weeks!

--

Also, as we all have heard by now, legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson passed away yesterday from cardiac arrest. This shocked everyone all over the world as he was an icon to all of us. As many of you know, BoA was a very big fan of Michael Jackson and one of her dreams was to meet him.

From BoA's Twitter:
"Rest in peace Michael Jackson. I'm going to miss you so much...I'm so sad right now"
"I'm listening to "You Are Not Alone" by the King of Pop in the car on the way to rehearsal for SF Pride "

JunJin Pictures, Images and Photos

Lee Shi Young’s boyfriend Junjin (real name Park Choong Jae) said in an interview that in 10 years’ time, he “will be happily married with kids”.

After Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Shanghai and Chengdu, Junjin performed at the last stop of his Asian tour in Beijing on 20th June. Having admitted to dating Lee Shi Young a day earlier on 19th June, Junjin was interviewed by Chinese online portal Sohu, and talked about his girlfriend Lee Shi Young.

During the interview, with regards to his public declaration, he said, “I feel good. I’m curious to know what my fans think about my girlfriend.”

When asked about how Shinhwa would be like 10 years from now, Junjin said, “10 years later we’ll still be on stage, we’ll all be happily married with adorable children.”

Though Junjin didn’t specifically talk about marriage plans, he mentioned in the interview that it was love at first sight for him, and because of that, they were more natural in their portrayal of a married couple on MBC variety show ‘We Got Married’.
===========================================
(It’s the same interview as above, just that it’s in Q&A format)

Q: Now the fans are most concerned about Junjin’s love life. How do you feel now?
A: I feel good. I’m curious to know what my fans think about my girlfriend.

Q: The fans are curious about what attracted you to Lee Shi Young.
A: She has many attractive points – she’s simple, occasionally very stubborn, and she’s very forthcoming. The first impression is very important to me, and my first impression of Lee Shi Young was very good.

Q: Was it love at first sight?
A: Yes

Q: If that’s the case, how was it like playing a married couple on MBC’s ‘We Got Married’?
A: Because I was attracted to her, I think I was more natural during filming. On the show, we were a make-believe couple, but many couples on the show all faced issues of different personalities. Even though we were also a make-believe couple, I felt that no matter what, you’re most natural when you can feel the attraction from the other party.

Q: It’s been 11 years since Shinhwa’s debut. What will Shinhwa and Junjin be like in 10 years’ time?
A: Even it’s in another 10 years, we’ll still be on stage, and we’ll all be happily married with adorable children. Just like Seo Taiji and Boys, we’ll continue to work hard.

KANGTA is an ELITE SOLDIER!!!


Kangta is an Elite Soldier

Former H.O.T member, Kangta who is currently serving his military service, was recently revealed to have been awarded the "elite solider" honor after hitting 20 out of 20 targets during his marksmanship test. According to reports, Kangta who is now serving in the 8th Infantry Division as a scout, had taken part in a competition and came away with the "elite soldier" honor in the end. Sources revealed that only 1% of the entire army are able to achieve this special honor.

The conditions for getting this "elite soldier" honor includes (only a sample):
- hitting 18 out of 20 targets during the day
- 72 and above pushups in 2 minutes
- 82 and above situps in 2 minutes
- under 5m 48s for 1.5km run

Kangta thus becomes the 2nd celebrity after Chun Jung Myung (he got it last year, but he only hit 18 out of 20 targets) to have been awarded the "elite solider" honor. Kangta had previously laid down a challenge to Chun Jung Myung through a variety show, claiming that he had confidence that he could handle him if they go 1-on-1. Looks like Kangta was not boasting at all. He does really have the talent to back himself up.

Park Myung Soo and Jessica to perform a duet

Park Myung Soo and Jessica Sing a Duet?
Comedian Park Myung Soo and SNSD's Jessica will be doing a surprise duet! Their little group name will be MyungSica and their new song will be called Naengmyun (cold noodles for all your non-Koreans). The song will be a summer dance track that was given to the pair by E-TRIBE who also made the song Gee. It's safe to say we'll have a catchy and hilarious performance even if the vocals aren't that amazing.

An insider mentioned, "When Infinity Challenge did the Gee parody, Park Myung Soo had taken the part of Jessica and transformed into 'MyungSica'. After that coincidence, the two decided to do a duet. They get along really well together. Jessica and Myung Soo were both really surprised about each others' singing abilities. Jessica didn't know that Park Myung Soo sang this well and Park Myung Soo didn't know that Jessica sang this well either because she had such short parts in Gee."

Park Myung Soo parodies Jessica

MyungSica will perform their song 'NaengMyun' early in July on Infinity Challenge. Besides these two, Yoo Jae Suk will be teaming up with Yoon Mi Rae and Tiger JK, JunJin with Lee Jung Hyun, Gil with YB, Jung Hyung Don with Epik High, Jung Jun Ha with After School, and Noh Hong Chul with No Brain.

SYC note:

I have found this at junsoobaidu bar days ago, but I delayed to share it since it’s not 100% proven………… yet at that time.



But now all the secret numbers in Arena tour have been revealed, I think we can make a more reliable (yet unofficial since it’s found by fan, not from toho-jp) analysis about the seemingly random numbers appearing at every Arena venue ;)

Let’s start by writing down members’ birth dates first, shall we?

Jaejoong :1986.1.26
Yunho :1986.2.6
Yoochun :1986.6.4
Junsu :1987.1.1
Changmin :1988.2.18

Kelly here and the fanreport will be in point form because since this is the second Nagoya show, I’ve actually calmed down enough to have my notebook and pen out during the concert :D

Yes, I was taking notes throughout the concert. Go me.

→ Rehearsals begin at 2.05pm. Still can’t tell what song they’re practicing except it’s rattling the Nippon Gaishi Hall’s windows :D

→ Went through the goods’ line a few times and I didn’t manage to get Jaejoong’s receipt D: Steph did though but we had an unusual amount of Junsu’s. Are the receipts member-location specific or something?! There’s apparently a limited edition tour good from DHC which is not advertised on the goods’ pamphlet, only at the stands itself – a black DHC/TSC 2009 nail pouch c/w ultra-ghei pink…bath ribbon? Like what you use to pull back your hair when washing your face? That one. And a bottle of deep cleansing oil and a TSC fake tattoo + nail appliques :D We suspect Chun’s hand in this. Heh.

→ Yes, I bought the damn pouch.

Lee Min Ho's first fan meeting

lee min ho Pictures, Images and Photos
MINOZ HAPPY DAY - MINI CONCERT

Lee Min Ho celebrated his 22 birthday with 4,500 fans at his first fan meeting on 21 June at Dome Art Hall, Children's Grand Park in Seoul. The party was called Minoz Happy Day mini-concert (미노즈 해피데이 미니 콘서트). "Minoz" (미노즈) is the name of Min-ho's newly created fan club!

The fan meeting marks his first public appearance after his recent knee surgery. The first thing Min-ho said when he came on stage was to greet his fans with "I've missed you so much. The surgery was a success and as you can see, I have recovered from it."

Fans got to meet and interact with their beloved star and Min-ho's friends also made a special appearance at the meeting. As a special surprise for fans, Min-ho introduced them to his mother.

First up, Lee Min-ho received gifts from his fans and opened some of the presents. Min-ho distributed baby plums to his fans. They happily accepted and Min-ho ate a couple of those juicy plumbs while he opened his birthday gifts.

At one point, Min-ho introduced his mother and fans greeted her with a loud applause. Special guests who were at Min-ho's fan meeting were Kim Hyun-joong and Kim Joon (and T-MAX). And as mentioned earlier, K.will also made an appearance and sang a song. Kim Bum apologized for his absence (due to a busy schedule) via a video clip he pre-recorded earlier.

The star of Boys Before Flowers sang the song My Everything (F4 Special Edition album) for his fans. Min-ho thanked K.will for helping him with the song.

At the end of the meeting, Min-ho read a letter he prepared to his fans. He read the contents of the letter with a shaky, emotional voice. Min-ho obviously really treasures his fans and is awfully pleased to finally have enough fans to form his own fan club.

Because of the huge number of fans, two meetings were held. One at 1pm and another at 4:30pm. Fans from Korea, Japan and Taiwan attended Lee Min-ho's very first fan meeting.

Despite Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun's efforts to prove her acting ability, her latest film is proving a box-office flop.

"Blood: The Last Vampire," Jun's Hollywood debut film, which was released at local theaters on June 11, has drawn around 70,000 viewers through June 20, Korea Film Council said yesterday.

The figures are far behind its competitors, such as Korean flick "Running Turtle (Geobugi dalinda)," which has drawn more than 550,000 since opening on the same day.

With hotly anticipated movies such as "Haeundae" and "Transformers 2: The Revenge of the Fallen" on their way, the prospects for "Blood" look grim.

It is quite a tough situation for Jun, who has not had a real box-office hit since "My Sassy Girl (2001)" and faces criticism that her main job is modeling for TV commercials.

Critics cited Jun's failure to deliver the complicated emotions of her character, Saya, as one of the major reasons for the film's failure.

The loose plot which largely differed from the original Japanese animation that the film is based on and the poor computer graphics are also cited as reasons for the film's lack of appeal.

Super Junior’s Goodbye Special on Inkigayo

Super Junior's Goodbye Stage on Inkigayo

Super Junior bid farewell to ELFs and music shows with a goodbye stage at SBS Inkigayo. Performing "It's You" and "Sorry Sorry" from their third album, this was to be their last in a while as they will now concentrate on preparations for their Asia concert tour, Super Show II for the latter half of this year.

It was much less dramatic than the one on
Music Core yesterday which was as if it was their last performance as a group. And to say this for the final time, Kim Kibum has not appeared for any Sorry, Sorry and It's You performances on television during Super Junior's promotions at all.

2NE1’s 2nd Mutizen on Inkigayo

2NE1's 2nd Mutizen on Inkigayo
"I only have one itching desire / let me stand next to your fire" - quote from Jimi Hendrix.

After surprising many and delighting fans with their maiden victory on SBS Inkigayo last Sunday, YG's 2NE1 has ignited fans once again, winning their second ever mutizen on this week's show for their hit single "Fire".

The new white stage and new clothes displayed a much different side of the group than their
initial unveiling did. Dara's ever-changing hairstyle has settled into bangs (for now), and CL added more oomph with some extra skinflash and chest thrusting at the end of the performance. It seems that the female foursome's first single is a late bloomer on the music shows, as "Fire" did not win any mutizens until more than a month after its release, only to record two consecutive victories in the past two weeks.

With this latest pair of awards, 2NE1 fans will be hungry for more, hoping that another win next week could earn the group an impressive triple crown with a lone, album-less single. If 2NE1 can win awards with just one song, who knows what could happen when they release their first mini album on July 1st?

Dara continues to amaze with a new hairstyle.
