[News/Audio] SHINee’s A-Yo has an English version?

Currently promoting their comeback song Lucifer, another song from SHINee‘s latest album Lucifer has sparked interest among fans online.

It seems like the song A-Yo has an English demo version which was originally sung by Denice Stone. The English version had surfaced online last year and it seems like SM Entertainment had brought rights to the song as they have done previously with SNSD’s Run Devil Run.

The song was never released until SHINee had included the song in their latest album. Although originally titled Eh Yo, the song title had been revised to A-Yo by SHINee (probably for pronunciation problems :P).

Both songs are identical in terms of beat and melody but the lyrics had been revised to fit in Korean, so let’s not compare the songs as they are exactly the same except for the singers and the lyrics.

Reported by NetEase on 27July

Right after the song Moth into Flame, the MV of another song in Hangeng’s new album ‘Geng Xin’-Say No was first broadcasted in NetEase music channel. The whole MV was shot in New Zealand, using a movie format to describe a touching story of Hangeng searching for his freedom and dream.

1 + 1 + 3 Still Equals 5

With the expiration of contract with their previous company, there has been some curiosity on popular group SS501’s future direction when leader Kim Hyun Joong signed to another contract by himself.

Firstly, in early June, Kim Hyun Joong signed with Bae YongJoon’s management company Key East, and it was known that Park Jung Min also signed with a new company on his own. There is a chance that Heo Young Saeng, Kim Kyu Jong and Kim Hyung Jun who had their activities as a unit nicknamed as ‘SS301’ in 2008, will group together to continue their activities as singers.

According to associates of SS501, Park Jung Min who has been very interested in acting, is searching for a new entertainment management company who will manage over him. However, in order to have group activities instead of going solo, Heo Young Saeng, Kim Kyu Jong and Kim Hyung Jun are looking for new management company.

Being called SS301, Heo Young Saeng, Kim Kyu Jong and Kim Hyung Jun, is currently a target for top music management companies in the FA (Free Agent) industry to scout them in. Even though they have received proposals for contracts worth a large amount of money from some management companies, but instead they are looking for a reliable management company whom they can trust. One close friend of the member said “Even though money (for contract) is no doubt an important factor, the members are trying to select one with a high capacity and whom they are able to trust completely.”

If SS501’s members sign with different new management companies on their own, it would be difficult for them to have activities as SS501 for the time being. However, since there is no disharmony between the members and that all of them want SS501 to continue on, it would seem that the group will not disband. Especially that SS501 is currently very popular in Taiwan, therefore there is possibility that they will come back together soon to do promotional activities in overseas.

Meanwhile, SS501’s future direction as ‘1+1+3’ is a similar model as idol group H.O.T’s path when they disbanded, has gathered attention. H.O.T disband in 2001, Moon HeeJun and Kangta became solo singers while Jang WooHyuk, Tony An and Lee JaeWon continued by forming a group called jtL.

Yoochun Kissed A Little Girl!

Does everyone still remember the touch meeting in 2007’s Summer Dream?

Yoochun saw this little girl, and called her over to kiss his face. The shy little girl went over and kissed Yoochun’s face in the cutest way, and even said ‘byebye!’ to him!

During the SungKyunKwan Scandal’s fan meeting on 24th July, there was also a little child who pouted her lips towards Yoochun and asked for a kiss, and she succeeded! Yoochun even returned her a kiss on the forehead! Simply jealous!

To see such a gentle man who loves his mother, his younger brother, little children and animals…how many of such men can there be out there?

Question 5

When buying clothes...


Won't be confused and decide immediately or Will wander about

Answer: Will wander about
"I recently bought a coat but worried for 2 days about whether I should buy or not." With regards to the rate at which he wanders around when shopping, "I practically won't buy any particular style out of impulse," answering it in the way of a super star. This is actually really humble~


Question 6



If you were to be reborn...

Male or Female

Answer: Male
"As expected, I still like the life of a man," Changmin answered us swiftly. When asked about whether he has no interest in a woman's life, "Of course, you can't say that I have no interest at all, but I like me as a man, meeting with woman," explaining himself.


Question 7


When in a relationship...

Will you be the initiator or Do you like being the one who's chased


Answer: Both are fine
Up until now there have been a whirlwind of romances. "Hmmm..." After pondering over it for a while, he finally answered with "both are fine." Realistically, which one is more common? "It really is half and half", answering us this way.

The shop that you will choose when going on a date is...

A restaurant with a nice ambiance or Rotisserie

Answer: If the both of us are having fun, a restaurant
"As long as there is an occasion where it's just 2 people, I'll definitely choose a restaurant." A meat-roasting date would be a lot of people having fun. "Also, when we're roasting meat, a lot of people are there, so there would be many types of food to eat!"

SS501 to turn into SS301?

Following confirmation about Kim Hyun Joong leaving DSP Entertainment for Keyeast, more information regarding SS501’s future have been revealed today.

It’s been revealed that fellow SS501 member Park Jung Min will also leave DSP Entertainment, possibly SS501 as well, to pursue his acting career with another management agency.

It is now looking like SS501 will now turn into SS301, a group consisting of Kim Hyung Joon, Kim Kyu Jong and Heo Young Saeng that promoted during 2008 with U R Man.

It’s known that while Park Jung Min is showing interest in pursuing his acting career, the rest of the three members are prefering to stay as a group rather than having solo careers although they are also looking for a new agency.

This will mean that all of the members of SS501 are no longer with DSP Entertainment, an agency they debuted through.

SS301’s Kim Hyung Joon, Kim Kyu Joong and Heo Young Saeng are now being looked upon by many agencies in the FA (free agent) market as they have left DSPE. The three have already received offers from different agencies, but the members are looking for a trustworthy agency.

A representative stated, “The contract itself is important, but the members are looking for an agency they can trust, an agency that is attractive.”

If the SS501 members indeed all go to separate agencies, it’s looking like it’ll take a while until we see SS501 promote again.

Albeit all the reports, the members are reportedly not in any arguments with each other, and they want to keep SS501 alive. Especially with the amount of success SS501 has in Korea as well as overseas, so there’s still a possibility that SS501 will not disband.

Furthermore, the “1+1+3″ separation of SS501 have started to resemble legendary group H.O.T which disbanded in 2001 with members Moon Hee Joon and Kangta pursuing solo careers while Jang Woo Hyuk, Tony Ahn and Lee Jae Won formed a three-member group jtL.

Stay tuned to allkpop for future information regarding this matter.

U-Know Yunho – “I Was Really Nervous About The Kiss Scene”

U-Know Yunho (24 years old – Real name Jung Yunho) publicly expressed his apprehension towards the kissing scene.

I will show everybody when the time comes. If I were to turn into a real crown prince, how would I handle it?” This creates a lot of curious thoughts about the kiss scene. He also said, “I want to do volunteer activities with my juniors,” showing his caring nature.

As a senior who holds great power in the singing world, U-Know Yunho have guidance to his juniors. He states, “I still miss the stage. I can’t recognize the new idols that come out, so I have to personally look them up. I’ve experienced in advance the depression a 30-40 year old man would encounter, so it is a really good experience. If the idols now can endure the difficulties and overcome them, then that would become a stepping stone towards their growing maturity.”

The release on the 30th includes the hot practices of the Musical “Goong” and Yunho’s ideal type, as well as an honest interview.

The Musical “Goong” is produced by the team at MBN, who also worked on “Couple of Fantasy”, “Boys Before Flowers”, among others.
