Lee Min Jung and 2AM member Im Seul Ong’s onscreen chemistry moved the viewers.

On 2nd November, MBC TV one-off drama 'Dosirak' was under the spotlight due to the delay of the Wednesday, Thursday drama 'I Am A Flower Too'*. In 'Dosirak', Lee Min Jung, Im Seul Ong, Cha Hwa Yeon* and Bae Han Sung* played characters with their individual stories at the Min Kang Yeok* train station.

Train station officer Su Cheol* (played by Im Seul Ong) leads a lonely life as the only youngster living within a 100 kilometers radius. One day he met a unique girl Hee Yeong* (portrayed by Lee Min Jung) who drinks her liquor through a straw from a mineral water bottle. Hee Yeong had come back to Min Kang Yeok Station, a place filled with good memories of her ex-boyfriend, to reminisce about the decay of the graffiti “Hee Yeong + Kyu Seok”* which they wrote back then.

Despite being rejected countless times by Hee Yeong, Su Cheol refuses to give up and continues to follow her around. His persistence finally paid off and moved Hee Yeong. Im Seul Ong’s portrayal of the innocent train station officer and Lee Min Jung’s portrayal of the tough and chic girl left a huge impression on the viewers.

Some of the comments from the viewers were “This is so heartwarming”, “Im Seul Ong’s expressions are so comical”, etc.

“Welcome to the Show” airs pilot episode with top idol stars

SBS’s new reality sitcom show, “Welcome to the Show,” finally unveiled its pilot episode on March 16th amidst an impressive lineup of cameo appearances from top idol stars.

The episode focused on what went on behind-the-scenes of “Inkigayo” and drew the happenings of the day’s event from morning to live rehearsal, showing in detail how singers prepare for the broadcast behind the glitz and glam of the stage.

The show boasted a top tier lineup including Nichkhun, Sulli, Seulong, IU, TVXQ, B2ST, MBLAQ, Lee Jung, Krystal, G.NA, Jewelry, INFINITE, ZE:A, and Dal Shabet.

Sulli and Nichkhun also brought out jealousy from the viewers with their affectionate attitudes, as they were seen often texting each other throughout the show.  Unfortunately for Seulong, whose character has a crush on Sulli in the show, he was forced to observe from afar as he had yet to obtain her number.

Seulong suspects the two to have something going on, and finally has his beliefs confirmed when he finds Nichkhun covering Sulli’s eyes and expressing, “I’m the totally handsome and cool Thai prince, Khun oppa.” 

As if that wasn’t enough, Nichkhun takes him aside and reveals his feelings for Sulli, describing her as an “elf that has descended from Heaven.“  Although Seulong tries to console himself by muttering that “she isn’t that pretty,” he later finds himself in awe as he stares at her beauty.

-
Despite the hype and top tier cast, “Welcome to the Show” recorded a dismal 3.9% in viewer ratings, according to AGB Nielson Media Research.  Viewers remain divided on the show, with some claiming that the acting was embarrassing to watch, while others felt that the concept idea was fresh and interesting enough to pursue with improvements.

Through Newsen, PD Park Seung Min addressed the low viewer ratings by stating, “There’s only so much you can show in a one act sitcom, but I did try to give the new genre a try.  Thank you to all of those that thought it was a fresh idea.  This sitcom took a lot of time and preparation, so the results are a bit disappointing.  Should I try this again, I do not think I will be using ‘Inkigayo’ as the backdrop again.”

Im Seul Ong, apologizes for the sudden hug with IU

2AM Seul Ong suddenly hugging IU becomes a hot topic.

On KBS 2TV “Music Bank” aired on December 17, Seul Ong, who was singing “Nagging” with IU, approached her and suddenly hugged her.

After that Im Seul Ong tweeted a picture of him and IU, along with a comment, “The original members reunited. The preparation was fun. The performance was fun. The hug scene is a parody of ‘Secret Garden’. Both of us couldn’t think of another idea except this. Sorry.”

But apparently some IU’s male fans were against it, so Im Seul Ong explained, “I did some monitoring after practice for our concert… Help me. It’s only a performance and she’s just a dear dongsaeng to me.”

B2ST’s Doojoon thinks 2AM’s Jo Kwon is stingy

Footage of the “All My Love” cast preparing for the sitcom was aired on the December 4th episode of MBC’s “We Got Married“, during the ‘Adam Couple’ segment.

B2ST’s Doojoon visited the couple’s newlywed home in order to lend some acting tips. Ga-In immediately showed off her new brand name make-up pouch, that Jo Kwon had bought her for her first win on her solo debut.

Doojoon gave a surprised look and exclaimed, “That stingy guy? He’s never even bought me food before!”

Jo Kwon, taken aback by his close friend’s blunt confession, began downing cold water in order to hide his embarrassment while Seulong commented, “Doojoon has a way of getting people enraged.”

Doojoon continued, “The fact that he bought you this doesn’t even make sense. It’s equivalent to him selling his house.”

Ga-In replied with a content smile, “My hubby isn’t stingy when it comes to me.”

Gotta love Doojoon getting Jo Kwon all riled up!

Seulong had a bad first impression of Junho because…?

On the November 20th broadcast of MBC’s “Quiz That Changed The World,” 2AM’s Seulong shared his first impression of 2PM’s Junho from back in the day:

“I had a negative first impression of Junho because he resembled Rain. He even mimicked his walking style! I even approached Junho one time, thinking that he was Rain.”

Junho shrugged off the topic with an embarrassed smile, and later made his fans swoon with a sexy dance performance.

Yet Seulong wasn’t alone in having a bad first impression of a groupmate during their One Day period. Jo Kwon, who was also a guest on the show, recalled his first impression of Nichkhun, and jokingly said, ”I had a bad first impression of him because he was way too handsome.”

2PM Nichkhun’s drinking and sleeping habits were unveiled on the latest episode of MBC’s “Quiz That Changed The World.”

2AM’s Seulong revealed Nichkhun’s strangely cute drinking habit. He shared, “Nichkhun gets a bit touchy-feely after drinking. I woke up one morning after having a drink the previous night, and found a lipstick kiss mark on my cheek.” The ‘kisser’ was revealed to be Nichkhun, who apologized to Seulong the day after the incident.

Teasing Nichkhun a little more, Changmin also talked about Nichkhun’s sleeping habits. “Nichkhun was drunk when I returned home from a reception at a JYP workshop, and he was sleep talking in Thai.” Changmin then imitated Nichkhun’s sleepy babble, causing the other cast members on stage to crack up with laughter.
