MBLAQ members reveal the celebrities they keep in touch with

 

 

Girls’ Generation recently drew interest for revealing the top celebrities they keep in touch with, and idol group MBLAQ‘s own social circles are also garnering new attention.

The members of MBLAQ previously filled out a ‘resume’ for Mnet‘s ‘Wide Entertainment News‘, and the things they wrote down by hand caused netizens to explode in laughter.

The members revealed their real names, wrote down what kind of assets they have to their name, some of the hilarious ‘concerns’ they had, and in which ways they thought they were superior to their fellow members.

G.O. felt that he was good looking and therefore had an advantage in the group, while his concern was also that he was a bit too good looking. Meanwhile, Mir hilariously wrote that he had an advantage over the members because he owned a lot of land, and Thunder‘s biggest concern was whether he should eat pork belly plain or to eat it with kimchi.

The boys also wrote down the names of top celebrities they were close with.

Seungho wrote that he was close with 2AM‘s Seulong and After School‘s NaNa, and under the ‘top star’ category, he scribbled the names of Rain & Se7en. G.O. wrote down 2PM‘s Junsu and 2AM’s Seulong, while also writing Rain in the ‘top star’ box. Lee Joon wrote that he kept in contact with Onew and Yonghwa, and sure enough, also wrote Rain under ‘top star’. Thunder played it safe by simply writing the number of celebrities he was close to, while Mir proved to be the socialite by writing numerous names such as Jinwoon, Key, Dongwoon, Nicole, NaNa, Jae Jin, Minho, Rain, Mighty Mouth, and hilariously, his sister Go Eun Ah.

Netizens who reviewed the boys’ ‘resume’ remarked, “They are all blood type A, interesting,” and “They have a wide circle of friends,” as well as “Mir has a lot of land?”

Shinhwa and 2PM gain interest for having many similarities

 

Original idol group Shinhwa and 2PM are gaining interest from fans for their similarities.

On the March 26th broadcast of Mnet‘s ‘Wide Entertainment News,’ it was revealed that there were many parallels between sunbae (senior) group Shinhwa and hoobae (junior) group 2PM.

The first point of parallel between Shinhwa and 2PM that the show uncovered was titled the “3 2 1 law,” and it involved the birth years of the members of each group.

In Shinhwa, 3 of the members (Eric, Hye Sung, and Dong Wan) were born in 1979, 2 of the members (Minwoo and Jun Jin) in 1980, and 1 member (Andy) in 1981. 2PM has similar groupings according to birth years, as 3 of the members were born in 1988 (Nichkhun, Junsu, and Taecyeon), 2 members (Junho and Chansung) in 1990, and Wooyoung by himself in 1989.

Also, Shinhwa debuted in 1998, and 2PM debuted exactly 10 years after them in 2008. Although there was a decade difference between their debuts, the two groups have followed the same path in their careers.

Another point of similarity is the number of members from overseas in each group. 2PM has 2 members from overseas (Nichkhun and Taecyeon), as does Shinhwa (Eric and Andy).  Also, viewers were surprised when it was revealed that the maknaes of each group (Andy from Shinhwa, and Chansung from 2PM) were also maknaes in their families as well.

The netizens who found out about the parallels between Shinhwa and 2PM left surprised reactions, such as, “It’s amazing how the two groups have similarities that match up numerically,” and “There was a reason why I thought Shinhwa and 2PM were similar.”

Other points of similarities between Shinhwa and 2PM that drew the interest of fans and netizens were their acrobatics, their “beastly idol” concept, and their connections with actress Kim Tae Hee.

Super Junior topping poll for 2011 Melon Awards

 

 

The preliminary round of votes for the 2011 Melon Music Awards is currently taking place online, and idol group Super Junior is currently enjoying the view from the top spot.

The voting began on October 27th, and Super Junior seized 18% of all votes and is currently at #1, followed by B2ST who seized 17% of the votes, and TVXQ who seized 13% of all votes.

The boys of INFINITE are impressively in the fourth place position, earning 10% of all votes, beating out the boys of 2PM who came in at fifth place with 6% of all votes. Also rounding out the top ten were f(x), Big Bang, IU, CNBLUE, and 4Men in that order.

The preliminary round of the online votes continues on for another two days, and therefore the results are subject to change and the end results may look completely different from the current situation.

This preliminary round is especially news worthy as all top five artists are male idol groups, and also because group 4Men is placed within the Top 10.

The results are calculated as follows. The top 30 artists who have the most frequently streamed song on Melon (40%), the highest number of downloads (50%), and most SKT MOD usage (10%) will advance onto the next round. Once the voting comes to an end on November 6th, 10 of the 30 artists who currently have the most digital single downloads (80%), and the most online votes (20%) will be awarded with the ’2011 Melon Music Award Top 10′ awards.

The award show will take place on the 24th at Gymnastics Stadium at Olympic Hall at 7pm KST.

SNSD’s Jessica & 2PM’s Taecyeon are dating?

 

Dating rumors are swirling once again around 2PM‘s Taecyeon and SNSD‘s Jessica after they were spotted having lunch at a cafe near Dosan Park in Apgujung.

These rumors first surfaced back in October 2010, after SHINee‘s Jonghyun and actress Shin Se Kyung confirmed they were dating. Both SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment quickly denied the rumors that Jessica and Taecyeon were in a relationship. In July, Taecyeon dodged questions about how he knew Jessica’s phone number; one month later, the two were seen together in Japan. Each time the media brought up relationship speculations, the two denied that they were anything more than just close friends. With this recent spotting, however, netizens are starting to wonder if that’s still the case.

On October 4th, Taecyeon and Jessica were seen having brunch at a cafe for an hour. Though the establishment was full of people, they seemed to not care about the attention they were drawing, opting instead to focus on their conversation.

After their 1-hour brunch, the two left the cafe. In the process, Taecyeon paid the bill and opened the door for Jessica as they were leaving. Then Jessica gave Taecyeon, who doesn’t have a car of his own, a ride to his dorm.

Jessica is currently busy preparing for SNSD’s comeback album (to be released on October 19th), while Taecyeon is in the midst of filming his Japanese drama, “Boku to Star no 99 Nichi“. Their agencies stated, “SNSD and 2PM are very close and they often meet. It seems the two have had a meal together when both their schedules were free.
