Taeyong asks, “Why are you so late, I have been waiting for a long time” and Park Ha asks, “Where were you? I have been here all this while” and the two hold hands, as Taeyong becomes Lee Gak, dressed in his royal robes. With the commentary saying “Even after 300 years, I will still love you” and has a happy ending.

[NEWS] Yoochun, Grows Stronger With “Rooftop Prince” … “Shining Acting Skills”!

Overcoming his sadness, JYJ member Park Yoochun’s acting shone till the end.

In the SBS drama “Rooftop Prince”, the “Sugar cube” couple Lee Gak (Park Yoochun) and Park Ha (Han Jimin) share an emotional love that crosses through 300 years, and ended on 24 May.

The strict image of the crown prince from the Joseon era, the happy image in the modern day where he works hard to deal with society, and the tender image during his romantic moments with Park Ha, Yoochun displays various charms in his role, showing an even more mature image that helped drive the atmosphere of the drama.

Yoochun’s role as Lee Gak is in harmony with his previous characters in KBS 2TV’s “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” and MBC’s “Miss Ripley”, and he, who is well loved by the viewers, has expressed various characters well. With the unique nature of a Time slip, he had to move back and forth between a period drama and modern drama, and he performed both roles perfectly in a fresh and interesting manner.

Also, despite the the difficult period at the beginning of the drama where time was tight and his dearest father had left the world, he held it in and performed passionately, shining even brighter. During then, Yoochun, who returned to the set of “Rooftop Prince” earlier than expected to continue shooting, had thought of the fans, viewers, the staff who were working hard and felt that he could not wait any longer.

In the middle of filming, Yoochun had tweeted on his personal account, with the message “Father, I want to meet you. So much so that I’m going crazy”*, worrying the fans, and recently he tweeted, “These last few days of filming will feel longer but go by faster than any other day. Rooftop Prince is a production that gave me sorrow and joy… and has made me a stronger person,” showing that he has become stronger.

In the midst of a busy schedule, he was also faced with the crisis of a traffic accident. Early this month, Yoochun met with a traffic accident while travelling to his shooting location, and said that he felt pain in his neck and waist, but due to his tight schedule, he did not go to the hospital and continued filming, which shocked everyone around him.

Even though he went through difficult trials, Yoochun expressed his own role very well, making “Rooftop Prince” shine even brighter.

(*T/N : I believe the article writer paraphrased what Yoochun had tweeted since this is a Japanese source, and I dont recall seeing a tweet like that…)

[NEWS] Dal Shabet Viki replaces by Wohee in one day

New member of Dal Shabet: Woo-hee [Happy Face Entertainment]

Just one day after the leader of K-pop group Dal Shabet, Viki, called it quits, Happy Face Entertainment announced that a new member has been recruited as a replacement.



“The new member is Woo-hee and like Ah-young and Ji-yul [other members of the group], she was born in 1991. She is currently on a leave of absence from the Dong-Ah Institute of Media and Arts,” a representative from the entertainment agency said.



The newbie has spent years training as a singer and dancer in order to break into the entertainment industry, and the agency said that she is an exceptional performer.



Pictures of Woo-hee were also distributed by the agency in which she was wearing an elegant white dress.



“I’m so excited to become the new member of Dal Shabet as I’m a big fan of the group,” said Woo-hee. “I’m a little worried though as I have some big shoes to fill in Viki’s absence. All the members have been so kind to me and I’ll give it my best.”

[NEWS] Kim Jang-hoon on brink of bankruptcy

Singer Kim Jang-hoon, an outspoken activist for “comfort women,” a euphemistic reference to Korean women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military, and Korea’s claim over Dokdo islets, is on the brink of bankruptcy.

Kim’s agency announced yesterday that the star is in financial trouble because he is committed to too many causes.

“In order to raise enough money for the upcoming ‘8.15 Dokdo Crossing’ project as well as another donation to give out rice to more than 1.2 million people, Kim will have to make his rounds at club and adult venues around the country,” said a representative from Kim’s agency.

Despite the fact that Kim spent most of this month taking part in 30 different events where he was asked to perform, his expenses are thought to outweigh his earnings from appearing at the functions.

The agency representative said that Kim’s debt amounts to some 100 million won ($592,808) at the moment.

[NEWS] Han Ji Min Gave Necklace as She Saw Death of Yoochun in Annals of Joseon Dynasty

In the final episode (ep. 20) of SBS’s “Rooftop Prince” aired on May 24th, 2012, thanks to the necklace gifted by Park Ha (Han Ji Min), Lee Gak (Park Yoochun) once again escaped death.

The gang of Crown Prince who returned to Joseon Dynasty begain to investigate the secret of the murder of Crown Princess. The original plot is to kill Lee Gak, but in order to save Lee Gak, Bu Yong (the past life of Park Ha) died instead, causing the tragedy.

The masterminds behind the scene are none other than family of Crown Princess and half brother of Lee Gak, Prince Muchang (Lee Tae Sung), who is the past life of Yong Tae Mu. In the process of investigating the murder case, Lee Gak is attacked by Prince Muchang, and is hit at the chest by the arrow of Prince Muchang.

When the arrow stuck in the heart of Lee Gak, Prince Muchang assumes that Lee Gak is dying, and laughes. But Lee Gak is unhurt, because the arrow hit the necklace, and not Lee Gak’s heart.

Before Lee Gak went back to Joseon Dynasty, Park Ha requested him, “Must hang on the chest,” and gave him the necklace the wedding keepsake. Park Ha who saved the life of Lee Gak in the past life, and this time, she once again saved his life.

Previously, in order to prove that Lee Gak is from Joseon Dynasty, Park Ha went to read “Annals of the Joseon Dynasty”. While reading, she was shedding tears, raising curiosity.

Netizens who watched this scene commented, “So she read that Lee Gak was killed by arrow, so she prepared the necklace,” “Ah! Tragic, Bu Yong is so poor,” “Even after 300 years, still remembering,” and so on.

On the other hand, the last episode of the “Rooftop Prince” recorded the viewership rating of 14.8% (national average based on AGB Nielson), an increase of 2% from 12.8% achieved on the previous episode, and become the drama ranked number one of the same time slot.

Recently, it doesn’t seem to be too difficult for Korean singers (Groups) to rank on the top 10 of Oricon at the same time. However, it is unusual for brothers to both be ranked within the top 10 at the same time, so this result gained attention.

[INTERVIEW] F.CUZ "We've Turned Over a New Leaf and Returned"!

Idol group F.CUZ has ended their hiatus of a year and returned to the music industry with their new song ‘No. 1’. F.CUZ, who experienced the pains of a member withdrawing last June, returned after adding new members and becoming stronger.

Recently, F.CUZ met us and revealed their changed team colors and upgraded music, in addition to their stronger determination.

‘No. 1’ was made from a joint effort by Monday Kiz’s leader Lee Jinsung and the composer of Hwanhee’s ‘Love Pains,’ Melodin Junyoung, who has also worked with Dong Bang Shin Ki, Super Junior, and other SM artists. It incorporates an electronic sound and the worldwide leading trend dubstep into K-POP with a pop melody.

By expressing the manly and straightforward lyrics that convey the message ‘the woman I love is number one to me,’ F.CUZ is escaping their boyish image and showing off intense charisma and masculinity, while also conveying their determination and aspiration of becoming ‘number one in the music industry.’

Until now, F.CUZ’s dances has emphasized each individual’s charms, but they are leaving that behind for synchronized choreography that shows off their more-developed dance skills, while wearing EL-Wire Suits – innovative outfits that use LED’s – to show off a colorful and strong performance.

“The previous F.CUZ performed while focusing on each of the four members. If we kept this image, we thought we would keep thinking of our friend – the original member – so we changed our team colors. During this performance, you can see a synchronization-oriented performance. The sum of the five members is a point to be observed. We think we have become more idol group-like by showing our group becoming one.” (Jinon)

“In the middle of the performance, we have a dance break when we wear LED’s on our clothes. We can turn on and off the lights while dancing so spectators will be able to taste the intensity and difference. It’s the hidden card of our performance.” (Kan)

“The title song ‘No. 1’ consists mostly of a heavy electronic sound. By adding a hint of the genre dubstep, we improved the song’s quality and completeness. The genre dubstep might seem a little foreign but the song was worked out like K-POP. When you hear it, you’ll be able to feel three genres.” (Yejun) 

“There was a lot of difficulty trying to formulate a song with dubstep. It has a Korean melody. Electronic sound, which is popular with the young audience, is also added so everyone can like it, male or female, old or young.” (Daegeon)

New members Raehyun and Daegeon are able to stand on stage as they do now because they passed an audition for F.CUZ’s new member. We heard about their story leading up to their addition into F.CUZ.

“I used to act but I wanted to sing while also doing acting. While thinking this, I opened up my eyes to idol groups. I was able to ask a lot to my old school friends Kan and Yejun. But we couldn’t talk easily because their group was not in a good situation. One day, I was trying to call my mom, whose number is saved as ‘The first lady(영부인),’ but I accidentally called Kan. It’s because Kan’s name is Younghak (영학). (Laughs) So coincidentally, Kan and I had the opportunity to talk and I heard that they were looking for a new member, so I took the audition, thinking that I should catch this opportunity. The first time, I was not very prepared and did not pass but I tried again with a change of heart and was added to F.CUZ” (Raehyun)

“Ever since I was young, I had many dreams and wanted to do many things. In high school, I quickly fell in love with music and became interested in idol groups. During high school, I took an audition and was signed to a small agency. I debuted but I left the company thinking that I was still lacking, and it would be best to debut after preparing a little more. I attending vocal lessons and prepared. At the news that F.CUZ was looking for a new member, I took the audition and fortunately passed.” (Daegeon)

Interestingly enough, all of the F.CUZ members besides Daegeon graduated from Anyang Arts High School. It’s an interestingly coincidental member line-up.

“A lot of people misunderstand because four of us went to the same high school. Many people took the audition to become a member of F.CUZ but these members were chosen among them. Also, the four members are friends and senior-juniors to each other from the same school so we were worried that Daegeonnie would feel left out. We worked hard to fit the balance of the team to avoid this feeling of being left out.” (Jinon)

“Because I was the only one from a different school, I felt slightly left out at the beginning. But one day all the members got together to drink beer (T/N: I looked up Korea’s legal drinking age – 20 by Korean age. Yejun has been legally allowed to drink since January 1, 2011 :3) Jinon-hyung figured out the bar that I was thinking of and I overheard him telling the members to take good care of me. I was so touched at that moment. Of course, I don’t feel left out now.” (Daegeon)

After the withdrawal of a member, F.CUZ almost disbanded. The reason they were able to overcome the tough times and stand again at this spot seems to be the three members’ passion that does not give up and the harmony of two new members’ ambition.

“I have Jinon-hyung to thank for me being a member of F.CUZ. I used to follow Jinon-hyung a lot in high school so when he recommended the F.CUZ audition, I took it. Even though the group was tough, I trusted Jinon-hyung and stayed.” (Kan)

“Because Jinon-hyung is the oldest and the leader, he has the responsibility of taking care of his dongsaengs (T/N: i.e. the younger members). So we expected a lot from our hyung. The opportunity for the three of us to work together again was because our goals and our thoughts that ‘We can’t end it like this’ were the same. No matter how hard it was, stopping now would mean all of our past efforts are going to waste. Trying and regretting is different from not trying and regretting.” (Yejun)

“We were worried that our relatively short practice period would be disadvantageous for the group. So we had to work two to three times as hard as the other members. It was hard mentally but the members’ consolations and encouragement helped me overcome it.” (Raehyun)

“Because I have the experience of failing, I didn’t want to fail again. So I grit my teeth and practiced persistently.” (Daegeon)

“One day, after our schedule was finished, I secretly went into the practice room at 2AM and it was very humid. That’s how hard the new members practiced. I was thankful that they were practicing as hard as they could. It’s not easy to start as a new member in a group that has failed once.” (Jinon)

Through their hard experiences and endless agony, the five young adults have come back stronger. Because of these events, F.CUZ was able to mature and develop. We are looking forward to seeing them leap for the top.

“As it has been a year and five months since we last stood onstage, we have prepared a lot. We are going to show you a lot so that the new F.CUZ, not the previous F.CUZ, can become ‘number one’ of the music industry.” (Jinon)

“Because this album comes from our hard times, you’ll be able to see a F.CUZ that’s soft on the outside, but tough on the inside. Please look forward to it.” (Yejun)

“Until now, for each of our three albums, our team has sunk because of incidents, accidents, and other unfavorable conditions. We can’t go any deeper. (Laughs) Now we can only go up.” (Kan)
