Xiao Xiao Bin hopes to follow idol Jay Chou's footstep and become a singer
What does the future hold for Xiao Xiao Bin? Although it has not even been a year since his debut on the mega hit idol drama, “Autumn’s Concerto”, Xiao Xiao Bin’s popularity continues to rise. Besides filming dramas and hosting variety shows, recent rumors say that he is also interested in becoming a singer! His manager confirms that they have indeed been contacted by five producers so far since the beginning of the year. However, it is still in discussion because they are still trying to find the right style of music for the superstar - which is definitely not an easy task to do.
Xiao Xiao Bin exclaimed, "I want to sing 'Autumn's Concerto' while playing my guitar!"
At the recording for the variety “小孩很忙” (Busy Kids) several days ago, Xiao Xiao Bin sang and played on his miniature guitar. He explained, “Because my idol Jay Chou knows how to play the guitar, so I also have to learn it!” Xiao Xiao Bin was very into his singing and even closed his eyes. He also performed like a true rocker and pretended to smash his guitar. Music producer and Super Idol judge Bryan Chan was also on the show that day and was asked to rate the performance. Leaving the un-tuned guitar aside, Bryan suspected that Xiao Xiao Bin’s main motive in learning the guitar was to pursue girls. But Xiao Xiao Bin was quick to correct producer Chan, “The Batmobile is what you use to pursue girls!” (and not the guitar!)
Bryan Chan and his daughter were speechless after watching Xiao Xiao Bin's performance.
KARA delays comeback after Seungyeon gets hospitalized
KARA’s Seungyeon has been hospitalized after damaging her lumbar (lower spine).
Currently, she is hospitalized in a Seoul Kangnam hospital for treatment. She had felt pain in her lumbar region, and the doctors told her she had to be treated for it.
DSP Media (KARA’s company) said on the 7th, “Seungyeon is in the hospital due to pain in her lumbar area. It looks like she got hurt while exercising. She had been exercising a lot lately and started to feel pain so she visited the hospital. We thought it wasn’t a big deal but her lower spine has been damaged quite a bit. She’s now taking a rest and her condition is improving. It’s not too serious.”
As a result of her injury, which will require her to lay low for 4 weeks, KARA’s comeback has been postponed. The girls had been looking to return to Korea by the end of this month, but they will now delay it to November. The same goes for their Japan promotions.
Her health definitely should come first, so let’s hope she gets better soon.
Following their successful concert, Don’t Stop Can’t Stop, 2PM launched a series of encore concerts for the 4th and the 5th at the Jamshil Sports Arena in Seoul . As the final encore concert began to draw to a close, the group received a surprising gift – a stadium full of fans, singing ‘Thank You’ to express their love and appreciation.
The fans were in complete harmony and almost seemed to pledge their continued support for 2PM. Overcome by their swelling sincerity, the members shed tears, one by one.
Shouting ‘2PM! 2PM!’ at the end of the song, the boys gathered for a final bow.
‘ Thank You’ was written and composed by 2PM for their loyal fanbase, Hottest, to thank them for their encouragement.
Isn’t it sweet, this demonstration of devotion between the artists and their fans? Check out the fan-recording of the performance below.
Representatives of International NGO Plan Korea clarified on behalf of actress ‘A,’ Lee Mi Yeon, who is currently under controversy for her bad attitude on a children’s rights campaign in Nepal last January.
On the 5th, Chosun Journal released an article titled “The Lights and Shadows of Celebrity Charity Work,” detailing an actress with irresponsible actions such as asking for sushi and bathing in mineral water while working with charity.
Park Jaehong, department head of Plan Korea, spoke in an interview with Star News and angrily expressed, “I think it’s easy for everyone to completely kill the career of one person like this. If such claims actually happened, I don’t think even I would have stayed calm about it.” Park Jaehong accompanied the actress on her four night, five day stay.
According to Park, she arrived at Nepal on the 18th of January with her stylist and managers, along with three staff members of a fashion magazine. “She arrived on Monday at the capital, Kathmandu, and moved to Sun Sari. She rested for a day and participated in the campaign on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, she returned to Kathmandu and rested a day, and returned to Korea Friday morning.”
He went on to point out the difference in her stay, “‘A’ did not go there to do charity work. She was there to shoot a fashion spread with the campaign as its topic. There was no need for ‘A’ to play with the children at all. She visited a rescue location for female children that were sold as dowries and suffered from sexual abuse. ‘A’ decided to join the campaign in order to fight for their rights.”
