I.C.E.COFFEE.PRINCES ; it's only Super Junior and DBSK!

Super Junior finally speaks up about Hankyung

2010-05-24T08:28:00.002+07:00

During an interview with various press members, Super Junior revealed their feelings regarding their Chinese member Hankyung’s absence.

These days, Super Junior has been promoting with ten members. Kangin is enlisting in the army soon, Kibum is concentrating on acting and Hankyung is caught in a legal feud with SM Entertainment.

Leeteuk commented,

“I think we forgot that Hankyung was a Chinese person because we worked with him for so long. It’s like how a family sometimes don’t share their feelings with each other because they see each other constantly. We didn’t really listen to each other’s problems. I thought about what a hard time Hankyung had to be in to do this. If he has a change of heart, his place is still empty so I hope he returns.”

Although Kangin and Kibum have been supporting Super Junior on their comeback, Hankyung has currently cut off his contact with the members. Let’s hope his issues with SM Entertainment are resolved soon!

[NEWS] SUlli f(x) and Heechul are twins?

2010-02-11T19:40:00.000+07:00

Who knew f(x)’s Sulli had a long lost twin?

This recent selca has been attracting a lot of attention and obviously you can see why.

Super Junior’s Kim Heechul posted this photo on his Cyworld minihompy today and titled it: Sulhee where he wrote,

“I took this photo with my f(x) dongseng after filming. I took on the role of Sulli.” (그는 ‘f(x) 동생들이랑 촬영한 후 찍었다. 난 설리 역할을 맡았고..’라며 사진을 소개했다.)

He added: “11 years difference. To try to make our age difference not as obvious, I even tried to do a bboo-ing bboo-ing (type of expression), however, compared to Sulli’s ‘heh heh~’ smile, I’m just a candle next to a typhoon. Time is like an arrow sigh..Sulli is proof.” (11살 차이. 나이차를 줄여보기 위해 뿌잉뿌잉도 해보고 다 해봤지만 설리의 ‘헤헤~’ 웃음 앞에선 그저 태풍앞의 촛불일 뿐. 세월은 화살같구나 참..설리가 진리)

Heechul sure is odd… but entertaining.

[NEWS] TVXQ’s Yoochun locked lips with T-ara’s Eunjung?

2010-02-11T19:19:00.001+07:00

Apparently so! It’s been revealed that TVXQ’s Yoochun shared a kiss with T-ara’s leader Eunjung for TVXQ’s drama Dating on Earth (지구에서 연애 중) back in 2006.

Eunjung’s involvement with this drama marked her debut into the acting scene.

Through an online site, netizens said things like, “It seems like Eunjung prepared a lot to debut with T-ara” & “Her appearance has a different charm than the one she has nowadays.”

A peck, saliva swap, two-tongued tango – no matter how mild or scandalous this kiss was, I’m sure Cassiopeians are going to be all over this one. Eunjung, get your helmet on!

[NEWS] Super Junior rude behaviour??

2010-02-04T18:55:00.007+07:00

Idol group Super Junior just can’t seem to stay away from controversy.

Last night, the 19th High1 Seoul Music Awards took place, where Super Junior picked up three awards. But it was also Super Junior member Kyuhyun’s 22nd birthday.

Anyway, during the awards show, Super Junior members celebrated Kyuhyun’s birthday at their table with a birthday cake. Netizens are appalled at this behavior, as they found it rude that they would do such an act at a prestigious awards ceremony. Their reasoning is that, instead of honoring and celebrating the artists who were winning awards on stage, they brought out a cake to celebrate Kyuhyun’s birthday. In addition, there was a magic show on stage from Lee Eun Kyul, but because of Super Junior’s celebration, all of the attention was shifted onto them, furthering the anger from netizens.

Netizens have been commenting, “That’s disrespectful to the award winners on stage,” “An award ceremony is a celebratory setting, but this type of behavior is too excessive,” “It’s disappointing to see that they can’t distinguish between public and private affairs,” “If they were rookies, would they have been able to do such a thing.”

Back in February of 2009, TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki’s Micky Yoochun was spotted driving around in a $125,000 AUdi R8. Looks like he’s traded in his coupe for a sedan as a Porsche Panamera was spotted in his parking spot. Depending on if he got the Turbo model or not, prices range from ($90,000 Base S model up to $140,000 Turbo model).

If having a “slave contract” allows me to date hot women, live in nice condo’s, and drive six figure cars… where do I sign up? Thanks to luvmicky for the tip.

[NEWS] Big Bang and TVXQ awarded as Cultural Ambassadors

2010-01-19T06:45:00.002+07:00

In 2009, the boys of Big Bang and TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki focused solely on the Japanese market as they released albums in Japan but none in Korea.

Both groups had successful campaigns in Japan as TVXQ won numerous awards and held concerts at the Tokyo Dome while Big Bang won newcomer / rookie awards. Because of their success overseas, both groups will be awarded with the title of Cultural Ambassadors by the Cultural Tourism Board, the Korea Foundation for International Culture Exchange (KOFICE).

The translated article by sshutingg @ OneTVXQ.com:

Both five-member groups Dong Bang Shin Ki and Big Bang received the exceptional recognition of being “Cultural Ambassadors.”

The private organization from the Cultural Tourism Board, the Korea Foundation for International Culture Exchange (KOFICE) stated, “Due to the contributions they have made in the development of the cultural aspect through popular music, we have decided to appoint/award them as ‘Cultural Ambassadors’ as a form of recognition.”

They have produced the most number of successful album records even in such a difficult period of time in the music industry, and have been energetically involved in both local and overseas activities; these are the main reasons behind this award.

A representative from KOFICE said, “This honor was awarded based on those who have contributed to the cultural industry on a yearly basis. Every year, this award has been given to those working in the cultural field, but this year is an exception as it has been given to idol groups.”

They added, “As both Dong Bang Shin Ki and Big Bang are busy with their schedules, the official announcement will be made later in January.”

Congratulations to both groups and I hope 2010 is even more successful than 2009 for both groups.

[NEWS] TVXQ Jaejoong declines IRIS offer?

2009-12-04T11:32:00.001+07:00

Did TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki's Jaejoong decline an offer to join the roster of the hit drama IRIS? Apparently so, according to some rumored reports.

Jaejoong recently showed off his acting prowess in the telecinema project Heaven's Postman and the people in charge of IRIS thought it would be a good idea to bring the top prince in Japan on board. The IRIS producers originally planned Jaejoong to appear in the final episode of season 1 (episode 20) and then have him as a full time member for Season 2.

However, for undisclosed reasons Jaejoong declined on the offer. I'm guessing it's because he's going to be very busy with his Japanese promotions with his TVXQ mates. Unfortunately, joining Jaejoong in declining a chance to appear on season 2 is the main star of IRIS Lee Byung Hyun as a second season of IRIS would conflict with his G.I. Joe 2 filming schedule. Even though Lee Byung Hun is reportedly earning near $100,000 per episode of IRIS, Hollywood has some deep pockets. It's pretty sad news for me personally... because to me, Lee Byung Hun is basically the whole show.

[INFO] Other celebrities thought about the conflict between SM and DBSK

2009-11-20T11:06:00.000+07:00

As the conflict between the 3 members of TVXQ and SM heightens, many celebrities of the entertainment industry have all agreed on one thing, no matter who is right or who is wrong, this is a regrettable issue. Therefore, the comeback for TVXQ early next year is really impossible.

Regarding this, many celebrities have expressed, “It’s a pity for such a talented group ; Worried that this excellent group will be gone just because of this.” A person from a marketing department for entertainment has said, “No matter what, we are really worried that such talented group might disband.” Even a Japanese entertainment producer has said, “TVXQ’s popularity is really huge in Japan, and we would normally compare them with our top Japanese groups.”

“Having the potential to be the top group in Asia, it’s such a misfortune that this had to happened.” Some have said, “It’s not easy to have such a wonderful group, this is not a simple issue of disbanding or continuation of a group, but a group that represents Korea, generally it’s an issue regarding the group that represents Asia.”

[TRANS] 091119 Korea Pretty Boygroups – DBSK Kim JaeJoong vs. SuJu Kim HeeChul

2009-11-20T11:02:00.001+07:00

The most important factor for Korean boy bands to increase their popularity rapidly in China is that every single member of the group is handsome and charming. We can tell by all the popular Korean boy groups in China that every one of them are pretty boys, not losing to any of the pretty girls on the street. Of course before a group’s debut, the agency company would normally arrange the most charming member within the group to attract the public’s attention. The beauty of Kim JaeJoong from Dong Bang Shin Ki is unquestionable and the beauty of Kim HeeChul who is from the same agency company group Super Junior is also well-known for his pretty face.

Dong Bang Shin Ki’s Kim JaeJoong
Nickname: Flower Flower (花花 = Hua Hua)

The first time you see him you’ll be visually shocked, and the effect stays the same for the second and forth. This is Kim JaeJoong, his beauty if cold yet irresistible and his coldness normally makes one feel unreachable; but once you get to know him you will get to see his warm hearted personality. He reached the height for his popularity based on his talent with his heavenly vocals and charming looks. Maybe JaeJoong was born as a beauty for the sake of the performing stage.

“Everyone might think I’m very confident with my own look because I had won the best-faced award, but that’s not true. If I’m asked to choose the past of me that I’m most confident of then it’ll have to be my eyebrows, and I have no confidence for the others. Talking about my road as a single, I was tone deaf way back during my high school time, and at that point of time I was really upset because I was said that I’m bad at singing, but this is the start of my success and as time goes by I started to enjoy singing and found the beauty of it!”

JaeJoong who was still tone deaf till ages 14 had worked hard for his dream with determination, and from a tone deaf to an angel who sings heavenly, together with Cassiopeia he had grown up realizing his dream.

Super Junior’s Kim HeeChul
Nickname: Cinderella, Princess of Mars

The beauty of Kim HeeChul is coquettish, he’s gentle like women and yet has the determination of a man, and therefore he has the ablity to attract both men and women. The first time seeing him is in the music video of ‘Twins’, a red headed person with big round eyes is enough to make one dumbstruck. “This kid is really pretty!” many people had said, but as time goes by it’s his personality, smart and his ability to eloquent well that attracts others attention.

From a certain point of view it can be said that the success of Super Junior is mainly because of Kim HeeChul and this is because he uses his ability to attract attention by his charming characteristic and soon put the focus onto the huge group of 13 members.

The beauty of Kim HeeChul had caused him to be a little obsessed with himself, but those people who are obsessed with themselves are usually adorable. On the popular Korean variety show ‘Star Golden Bell’, when ‘Princess’ was asking what the secret of his popularity was he said, “One’s look plays a big part to it, but there are many other points to it too, therefore don’t judge just on my looks only.”

Kim HeeChul is one of the precious few in Korea who are excelled in all areas, he can sing, dance, host, act and compose too. Especially the SBS drama ‘Golden Bride’ which he acted in had achieved an excellent rating of 32.2%. That drama had also received an award in China after it’s DVD release in China this year.

Sorry for this super duper very late posting,, ^^ I have exams in the last two week,,

Super Junior member Kim Heechul showed off his skinny bod for fashion magazine NYLON and my dogs wouldn't stop trying to take a bite out of the screen. And being that they've grown up in a k-pop household, it seems they prefer the Korean bones over some good old American rawhide.

Anyway, after wiping off all the drool from my monitor and keyboard, I've managed to post these photos up for all you doggy bag rib loving girls to enjoy.

On a side note, Heechul is currently gaining popularity in the SBS drama "I love you a thousand times," in which he ate only tofu for 2 weeks to lose 8kg of weight. Wasn't he skinny enough already?

In regards to his acting career Heechul stated:

"I'm able to what I wanted to, acting, so I'm extremely happy."

In regards to what he'd like to achieve next year:

"I want to win a newcomers acting award."

The photo spread and interview will be released through the December issue of NYLON, ribs included.

[NEWS] SM Entertainment to give TVXQ a new contract?

2009-11-08T11:18:00.001+07:00

SM Entertainment CEO's Kim Young Min, who is involved in the ‘unfair contract’ dispute with his three members of TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki, has recently announced a new contract policy, and that it will be put into action once it gets approved by the related authorities.

"Kim Young Min, who attended the press conference which was held on the 2nd of November 2009 at 63 Tower, has expressed, “We would collect all comments from music and entertainment industries, related government departments, cultural and tourism board, fair trade departments, educational circles and legislative bodies, based on the law to adjudicate a new contract policy. After the approval from the respective authorities, we would then put it into action. Then follow it (new contract policy) enthusiastically.”

Kim agreed, “If we are able to come out with a new exclusive contract policy based on the law, SM would like to re-contract with all current artistes based on it.”

Kim also expressed, “Under the new exclusive contract, from the moment it’s signed, it would be protected till the contract ended, if not the current situation would repeat over and over again in the future.”

“In order to prove what I have just said is nothing but the truth, we would first like to take the advice from the impartial committee,” he said.

But, everyone was not able to fully believe this announcement by SM Entertainment. Professor Lee from Korea Art University stated, “If SM do not wish to have what they have just said to turned into nothing, then they should assure them.” He continued, “Based on what SM have said, they do not wish to fully take on the advice from the impartial committee, but to forcefully come out with a new contract policy, which was questionable (their announcement).” Professor Lee ended, “If SM was really sincere about this, they should work on the new contract based on the advice and not vice versa, and then to get it approved by the representative authorities.”

We will have to see what the authorities in charge of the case do with this new contract. If the contract is fair in their judgment and if the boys will accept it, but this seems a bit promising.

[NEWS] Kim Heechul promoted online for Nemesis

2009-11-05T08:56:00.002+07:00

Super Junior Kim Heechul has promoted online for the rock-band Nemesis’ comeback album after 4 years on his own cyworld.

Kim Heechul has set 9/14 songs in Nemesis’ 2nd album as his BGM on his cyworld as well as introduced those songs as “November’s songs”, thus showing his love toward the band. It’s surprising to know that Heechul did all of that not because he has some relationship with any member of the band, it’s because he himself is the rock-band’s fan.

It’s known that Kim Heechul was Nemesis’ fan since the band’s 1st album in 2005. At that time, Heechul had set the songs “베르사이유의 장미 (La Rose De Versailles)” and “솜사탕 (Cotton candy)” from their 1st album as his BGM on his cyworld. Heechul also helped the song “솜사탕 (Cotton candy)” to become popular by introducing it on his radio show “Young street”.

Nemesis’ leader Ha Sebin said “Kim Heechul had expressed that he was a fan of rock music before debut with Super Junior. We had seen the effect from Heechul’s promotion for our 1st album on his cyworld. After then, we just exchanged some note to ask how the other are, it’s quite pity that we didnt have time to be closer to each other. However, we feel very grateful because he values our music so much”
