Photobucket
After 5 years since his debut, Tim is going to promote an upbeat song called “War in Me.” Although Tim guested in various programs and showed off some dancing, this will be the first time that he will be promoting and dancing to an upbeat song. “War in Me” was made by Kim Young Hoo and is an urban style track with hardcore drumbeats and traces of ballad.
This Sunday, April 6, in SBS “Inkigayo,” Tim is going to open again his 4th album activities and to have a short dance stage that he has practiced for a long time.
“I’m tensed because this is the first time I’m going to have a dance stage. I practiced hard to give the best performance,” Tim said, who is worried of not disappointing anyone.
Meanwhile, fans are already talking about this change in Tim and posts like, “I’m curious to what Tim’s dance stage will look like,” and “I’m expecting a perfect performance because Tim always performs well,” are posted online.
“War in Me” is included in Tim’s 4th album entitled “Love Is…,” which was released in October 2007.

Epik High in Lee Hyo Ri’s music video

Photobucket
“Before our debut, we participated and appeared for a second in Lee Hyo Ri’s music video as hip hop boys,” Epik High revealed in the Mnet show “Bopper’s” which is being hosted by Dynamic Duo. The music video Epik High was talking about is Lee Hyo Ri’s “10 Minutes.”
“Before debut, it’s important to let people know that you’re releasing an album. So we were told that appearing in Lee Hyo Ri’s music video will be useful in announcing our album. We did manage to appear in Lee Hyo Ri’s music video. However, not even one of our posters was seen anywhere,” Epik High laughed as it shared this story.
Funnily, the group’s music video exposure only amounted to a second, which was not really a big help in getting them in the limelight.
This interview is to be broadcast today, April 3, at 7 pm in Mnet.

Suju’s Hee Chul bitten by the plastic bug

Photobucket

Super Junior’s lady Kim Hee Chul will be getting a nose job. SM Entertainment confirmed the planned plastic surgery with a pre-formulated crockpot tale of Hee Chul injuring his nose when he fell down the stairs due to blurry vision from recent lasik eye surgery.
“Blurry vision” must be an industry euphemism for “Father SM pushed me down the stairs so that I could have a legitimate reason to get unnecessary plastic surgery”. He should have just gone with the deviated septum excuse like every other celebrity.

Chae Jungan does ab.plus

Photobucket

As expected, Coffee Prince’s only lady, Chae Jungan’s foray into the Jpop scene ended with no significant outcome, so the girl’s back with a modeling stint for Korean women’s wear label ab.plus.
Photobucket
Chae Jungan sure adds the glam where need be, so she should leverage her strengths as a pretty face and stick to modeling and occasional acting.
