Big Bang and CNBlue take over weekend live music shows

CNBLUE and Big Bang each scored a win on weekly live music shows that aired on Friday and Sunday, respectively.

CNBLUE’s song “Intuition” was placed at No. 1 on KBS’ “Music Bank” for the third time as of last Friday. This is the song's seventh win on a televised music show following its three crowns on music cable channel Mnet’s “M! CountDown” which airs on Thursdays and single trophy SBS’ music program “Inkigayo” last Sunday.

“Intuition,” a song about one's ominous feeling of breaking up with a girlfriend, is from CNBLUE’s first regular album “FIRST STEP” that has sold over 100,000 copies nationwide since its release last month.

“We are so happy we're receiving so much love these days. It’s almost like a dream,” said CNBLUE's members in their acceptance speech the same day. “Thank you so much and we hope you like our follow-up songs ahead.”

★ On this Sunday’s “Inkigayo” show, it was Big Bang’s “LOVE SONG” that won the latest Mutizen Award, in the week of the song's debut.

“LOVE SONG” which expresses feelings after a love has passed away, is one of the title tracks to their special limited edition album released early this month.

Co-composed and written by G-Dragon and Teddy, the music incorporates elements of electronica and modern rock.

“We’re happy to win this award upon the first week of our return. We shall take it as a sign to work harder,” said the group’s leader G-Dragon as he went on to thank people in their agency who helped along the way.

Meanwhile other singers that appeared on the two live music shows over the weekend included U-Kiss, 4minute, Brave Girls, Rainbow, Clover, Dalmatian, Handsome People, Rania and Maya.

YG Entertainment revealed that Se7en took home the ‘Best Asia Performance’ award while Big Bang won the ‘Most Popular Korean Artist’ award, chosen through popularity votes and by industry experts.

Unforutunately for Big Bang, they were unable to attend due to a pre-scheduled activity.

Representatives of YG Entertainment stated, “Despite both Se7en and Big Bang being only at the beginning of their Chinese market advancements, this record is impressive to us. We’re looking forward to their promotions in the Chinese market."

Note: We realize that the Singapore area has more then just a Chinese population, as is stated in the YG quote, but we cannot change direct quotes, so we will leave it like that, unless the translation changes. Thank you for understanding. :)

Goo Hara’s teary acceptance speech deemed ‘beautiful’ by viewers

KARA’s Goo Hara recently won the runner-up award for the ‘Show/Variety’ category at KBS’s “2010 Entertainment Awards.”

Clearly surprised over her win, Goo Hara walked to the stage in an utter daze, her eyes wide with amazement.  After collecting herself, she began her acceptance speech, stating, “I’ll be receiving this award thankfully, since I am receiving it in the midst of such amazing seniors.  I’ve earned so many things through ‘Invincible Youth‘.”

As she wrapped up her speech, her eyes began brimming with tears, showing the worth of the achievement to viewers.

When she first joined the show in October of last year, she was considered to be the least known member out of KARA.  A year and two months later, she’s managed to create an entirely new ‘brand’ for herself and has grown into one of the most identifiable stars of the industry.

Goo Hara was known to have worked harder than anyone else on the show, and showcased a lot of determination. Her level of interest in farming and the way she skillfully managed to drive rice-planting tractors surprised the viewers immensely.

She was also much loved by the Yuchiri villagers for her lovely personality and caring heart.

It was only through such efforts that she was able to achieve the win, and although the show came to an end on December 24th, Goo Hara’s mark on the show won’t be forgotten by the viewers.

JYJ’s KBS’ ‘Drama Acting Awards’ Appearance… Is It Happening Or Not?

KBS Drama Acting Awards Representative States, “JYJ’s Appearance Is Virtually Set..
We’re Currently Deciding On The Number Of Songs”

It has been found that the appearance of group JYJ, comprised of Park Yoochun, Kim Jaejoong and Kim Junsu, in the 2010 KBS Drama Acting Awards is virtually set.

A high-position representative in the KBS drama sector basically set off the countdown to JYJ’s first TV appearance when he said, “Though it has not been confirmed 100% that JYJ will perform a celebratory number at the awards ceremony, we are currently deciding upon the number of songs JYJ will sing with their side.”

This representative continued to explain that, “We pushed forward with this celebratory performance by JYJ as Yoochun left quite an impression on everyone with his acting in the KBS2 drama ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ and as the drama’s theme song ‘Found You’, sung by JYJ, had a positive reception from viewers.”
It has been said that the two sides are deciding whether JYJ should be allowed to sing one song or two or more songs.


If JYJ are able to stand on stage at the KBS Drama Acting Awards, this will be their first domestic TV appearance since the formation of their group.

Though the trio, from the group TVXQ, released their first album ‘The Beginning’ in October, they have not been able to actively perform due to their problems with SM Entertainment.
JYJ’s troubles escalated when the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry sent an official document to broadcasting and cable companies, as well as online and offline album distribution companies, urging them to restrict JYJ’s activities. This was the reason why JYJ’s celebratory performance at the Blue Dragon Film Awards on the 26th fell through at the last minute.


Fans are highly anticipating this appearance at the KBS Drama Acting Awards as this may be the catalyst that allows JYJ to appear on TV broadcasting companies’ shows in Korea.
On the other hand, JYJ are currently on a break after their ‘Worldwide Concert in Seoul’ that was held at the Jamshi Olympic Stadium on the 27th and 28th.

If JYJ Do Appear On ‘KBS Drama Acting Awards’?… “They Can’t Sing Two Songs”

JYJ, whose three members are formerly from the group TVXQ, have been nominated to perform at the ’2010 KBS Drama Acting Awards’.


Lee Kang Hyun, the KBS Drama EP, met with our reporter at a restaurant in Seoul on the 7th and stated, “It is true that JYJ have been written down for consideration as singers invited to perform at the 2010 KBS Drama Acting Awards,” but kept cautious as he said, “However, it has not been confirmed or finalized yet.”
Following this, he explained that, “If JYJ do appear on stage, they will sing one song just like all the other singers,” and “JYJ’s side asked if JYJ could sing two songs, the ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ O.S.T ‘Found You’ and another group piece, but they cannot sing more than one song as we must keep it fair for all singers.”
