Super Junior’s Shindong transforms into KARA’s Goo Hara

Super Junior’s Shindong, after losing some weight, changed himself into KARA’s Goo Hara.
Making a guest appearance on SBS Strong Heart on the 18th, Shindong changed himself into KARA’s Goo Hara for the program’s ‘strong women special.’
With KARA’s “Step,” Shingdong appeared on the stage with perfect costume of Goo Hara, a ponytail, a makeup style that shows innocent and sexy looks at the same time, and a sexy outfit. He also imitated her captivating eyes and KARA’s sexy hip dance.
As Shindong came out in Goo Hara costume, other guests all cheered yelling “pretty!” and the caption on the screen also wrote “absolute beauty,” making the audience laugh. It was because people could find unexpected beauty from Shindong’s face as he lost some weight.
Shindong performed KARA’s powerful dance with Goo Hara and Park Gyuri and made Strong Heart’s opening stage hot.
On the day’s Strong Heart, DIVA and Baby V.O.X. members made special guest appearances, revealing their inside stories of emotional conflicts and misunderstandings happened between them in the past.

KARA’s Nicole finds herself in a sticky situation

A close industry representative of DSP Media revealed through TV Report on January 21st that both Seungyeon and Jiyoung have a high possibility of canceling their contract terminations. He stated, “It’s likely for them both to be staying with DSP. But with Nicole’s mother being regarded as the leader of this controversy, if worse comes to worst, Nicole will leave the group.”

He continued, “Because of this controversy, Nicole is bearing the brunt of the hate. Even if all five choose to remain together, it will be difficult for Nicole to further lead a normal career. There’s even ridiculous talks of Nicole being the ‘recall’.”

Leader Park Gyuri never participated in the lawsuit, while Hara dropped out moments after reports were made. With Seungyeon expected to follow the two, many are speculating for Jiyoung to return as well.

The problem remains with Nicole, as Nicole’s mother uploaded a series of tweets that referred to the KARA members as “her loving daughters” while bad mouthing DSP Media. After it grew into a controversy, they were promptly deleted. Hara herself also revealed that she had no idea about the contract terminations, leading many to doubt whether all of the members even agreed to this. 

The controversy surrounding Nicole’s mother being the cause of this entire lawsuit is further backed up by such evidence.

Netizens, as well as DSP Media, have already speculated Nicole’s mother to be the ringleader.

In TV Report’s first report, the identity of Nicole’s mother was left anonymous, but DSP Media went ahead with all three of their statements in calling out her mother directly.

Another representative close to DSP Media revealed, “Although they’re trying their absolute best in keeping the original members, if worse comes to worst, Nicole will be taken out of the group and a new member will be added to continue their promotions.”

The Korea Entertainment Producers’ Association is also expected to be raising the hand in DSP’s favor. A representative of DSP visited the KEPA on the afternoon of the 20th in order to discuss on the recent developments. The representative revealed that DSP and KEPA made an agreement in that the KEPA will not put blame on whatever decision or action DSP chooses to take.

Although representative of KEPA spoke regarding the issue on the 20th, he avoided any direct answers, “We confirm that a DSP representative visited our office, but it was regarding a substitute for CEO Lee Hoyeon in receiving his ‘achievement award,’ as he is currently hospitalized. Since the KARA controversy is what it is, discussion regarding the controversy was inevitable.”

KARA’s Nicole, Seungyeon, and Jiyoung will be giving their personal opinions at a press conference with Landmark at 3 PM KST on January 21st.

KARA’s Nicole, Seungyeon, & Jiyoung’s parents reveal their meeting

The parents of KARA’s Nicole, Seungyeon, and Jiyoung are currently preparing to release statements on the hardships their daughters were forced to endure, as well as details regarding the alleged irrational income distribution by DSP Media.

The parents met in an emergency meeting on the afternoon of January 19th and revealed that representatives of DSP were trying to meet with each of the members in hopes for reconciliation.  Unfortunately, the parents revealed that it would be impossible for them to cancel their decision to terminate their contracts.

In an interview with Newsen, they claimed, “Right until the girls declared that they would be parting ways with the company, they continuously asked for clear and transparent income balances, as well as communication, but DSP refused the requests.  Why else do you think they would leave the company that raised them into who they are?”

The parents claimed that they requested for documents regarding the income the girls brought in in Japan, but the company delayed the sharing of such information with excuses such as, “There’s nothing balanced yet” and “Please wait until the appropriate time.“  When an opportunity for communication was finally opened, the company brought out balance documents that were difficult to understand, deepending the distrust between the two parties.

One member’s parents exclaimed, “Is such a contract that only gives $3,000 per person for dancing the ‘butt dance’ in Japan fair?“  They also revealed that the girls were put in saunas to sleep because of their busy drama filmings.

Another continued, “KARA released ‘Jumping‘ late last year, but there were barely any schedules for their Korean fans, and DSP Japan were busy working the girls to film ‘URAKARA‘ for their own profits.  There were a lot of unexplainable circumstances, such as the girls being put to sleep in a sauna one night.”

All three parents exclaimed, “The company is prospering with the income that is being made, while the kids are getting bloody noses from fatigue.  This reality cannot continue.”

Regarding members Park Gyuri and Goo Hara, who both are not taking part in the lawsuit, the parents revealed that Gyuri’s parents were “walking a different path from the other girls since three months ago,”  as Gyuri’s parents failed to show up at a parental meeting held last November.

Asked about the rumors of another entertainment agency offering the girls better contracts, they revealed, “We can’t say anything, as the parents don’t discuss such internal things.  What we’re sure is that the three members will not be able to repair their relationship with DSP.”

Gyuri believes Kara should stay together + will continue activities

We have previously reported that the Kara members minus leader Gyuri will be attempting to leave DSP. However, Gyuri has spoken up to say that she believes it's best for Kara to stay together, and that she will protect Kara until the end.

In an interview, she said, "I just heard that the other had requested an exit from the company. I don't know anything yet. I have to talk to the company and the others. I have to figure out by reading the articles right now. I ended late because of my radio yesterday, and I'm not with them right now. But I believe it's the best for Kara to stay together. I'm going to talk to them after I fully understand this situation."

DSP Media has confirmed that Gyuri will not be stopping any sort of activities. Many fans had been curious if she would continue to DJ on "Shindong, Park Gyuri's Shim Shim Ta Pa", and DSP has confirmed that she will still be the radio show's main female DJ.

That day (,) Eunhyuk expressed “During the time for the search of Shindong’s DJ partner, I strongly recommended Park Gyuri.” “I want to promote Park Gyuri as a radio DJ.” Park Gyuri who was very shocked upon hearing Eunhyuk’s confession, reconfirmed again “Is it true?” in which Eunhyuk emphasized “100% the truth.”
After which (,) Park Gyuri suddenly asked Eunhyuk “(Are you) interested in me?” This unexpected question made Eunhyuk flustered.

Idol-Actor Report Card from the experts

 Experts on Idol-Actor Report Cards “Lee Seung Gi – Mickey Yoochun, 1 and 2″

As it is difficult to find a drama these days that does not have an idol star in it, idol power is coming on strong on tv.  Trendy genres targeting teens is a given, but weekly dramas and even daily dramas, “acting idols” are increasingly showing their range and scope. For the few box office hit idol stars, they are handling continuous drama offers.  However, there are also situations in which idol stars are unskilled in their acting ability.  If that’s the case, what do the people on the front lines in the entertainment industry think about these idol stars?
Sports Seoul asked drama CPs from the 3 broadcast channels and representatives from the film industry and experts to rate idol stars in the categories of acting ability, box office hit, and growth potential, assigning a maximum of 5 points for each.  Among the active 11 idol stars who are either currently or were recently acting in a drama, Lee Seung Gi (23) and Mickey Yoochun (24) received the highest marks.  Among the female idol-actors, Nam Gyu Ri (25) received the highest marks.

 

Lee Seung Gi, Mickey Yoochun – Acting ability. Box office hit. Growth potential. Ranked 1 and 2.

SBS My Girlfriend is a Gumiho’s Lee Seung Gi received the highest points in each of the categories. He ranks in at number 1. Lee Seung Gi’s acting ability was the category the experts pointed out the most. Averaging 4.2 points in this category, 2 of the experts rated him at the maximum 5.0 points. Currently debuting in KBS Sungkyunkwan Scandal and also having his eyes set on films, Mickey Yoochun received high marks with a 4.0 average in acting ability.  Also, SBS You’re Beautiful’s Lee Hong Ki and SBS’s Oh My Lady’s Choi Si Won received favorable marks with 3.4 and 3.2 averages respectively.  Among the female idol-actors, SBS’s Life is Beautiful’s Nam Gyu Ri was rated at a 3.4 in acting ability.

KBS Moon Bo Hyun CP said “I have more affection for Mickey Yoonchun because he is not your typical flowerboy. Even though he is still young and still lacking in his acting, he knows how to implement his acting plan and shows charisma as an actor.”

 

Kim Hyun Joong, Ji Yeon – Box office hit yet low in growth potential.

In the areas of box office hit and growth potential, there was a mixed reception. Usually stars receive more favorable marks in growth potential compared to the box office hit category, however the cases for Kim Hyun Joong (24) and Ji Yeon (17) were reversed.  Having recently participated in MBC’s Playful Kiss, even though Kim Hyun Joong received an average 4 points in the box office hit area and ranked 3rd in this category behind Lee Seung Gi and Mickey Yoochun, his 3.4 points in growth potential category was lower than Choi Si Won and Nam Gyu Ri. Among the female idols, Ji Yeon received the highest average (e points) in the box office hit area but received an average 2.7 points in growth potential.

In regards to active idol female stars, SBS Choi Moon Suk CP said, “It may be different for supporting roles, but I don’t think there really is anyone that has potential as a lead actress yet. Performing on a music stage and having a pretty appearance is completely different from displaying good acting.”

When did Lee Seung Gi become an idol?!  Can you even be an idol as a soloist?  No offense, but wish some of the press would stop lumping SeungGi in this category just because they feel like it.  Yes, he is an actor and he is a singer; an idol he is not.  Or at least I don’t think he is! Anyway, I still liked this article because the ranking wasn’t some random online survey or poll where fans just vote multiple times!  The report card is based on input from drama CPs, film representatives, and other industry experts; and Seunggi is #1 (again!).  Read the entire article…
