SHINee members Taemin and Key were guests on SBS's 'Cultwo Show' on November 22. On this day, both of them talked about their dating styles.

DJ Kim Tae Kyoon said, "I've been seeing Taemin for a few years now and I think he is becoming more and more manly. He has both a cute and sexy charm."

Taemin thanked him while Key said, "What about me?"

Kim Tae Kyoon responded, "Key also got a lot cooler. Previously, he had a very sharp vibe, but he is becoming gradually softer and seems to have transformed in a way that is appealing to women."

He also asked, "When you have a girlfriend, do you tend to give her a lot of presents or do you give more verbal signs of affection?"

Key said, "I tend to give presents only in the beginning. They are not big presents . . . Even when I appeared on MBC's 'We Got Married' to go on a blind date with A Pink's Eunji, I bought her a present from a duty-free shop. It somewhat signifies that you thought of the other party. Most of the time, I tend to give them in the initial stage of dating."

Taemin answered, "I generally do not give things like presents. I'm too lazy and I don't have a tender personality so I don't think I'm good at taking care of them."

On November 22, G.O made a guest appearance on KBS 2TV's 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook' and talked about his days in school.

Yoo Hee Yeol asked, "Were you popular when you were a student?"

G.O responded honestly, "I was. They acknowledged me in Changwon. At that time, I said I should sell tickets so I united with my friends to create CMU, Changwon Musician Union, and sang. We once had a performance with 700 seats that sold out."

Yoo Hee Yeol then asked if there was a fan club so G.O said, "No fan club but there was a fan cafe. There were even girls who came to confess their feelings."


G.O was revealed to have had dated twenty times. He said, "I did not properly date until junior high school. I am talking about those kinds of dating. There were not many cases in which I sincerely loved . . . I think those experiences helped me while I sang."

IU's agency Loen Entertainment is pushing forward with the acquisition of SISTAR's agency Starship Entertainment according to a report from the Korea Economy.

Following the investment banking and entertainment industries on November 22, the largest stockholders of Starship Entertainment, President Kim Si Dae and director Seo Hyun Joo, are in the midst of finishing up the merger and acquisition negotiation. Both parties do not have largely different views on the terms of sale, so it appears they will enter into a formal contract some time next month.

President Kim and Director Seo possess most of the stock for Starship Entertainment. They are currently discussing more or less of 14 billion won (~ $13 million USD) as the value for the takeover of management rights and more.

While Starship Entertainment has artists such as SISTAR, K.Will, and Boyfriend, Loen Entertainment has their own artists in IU, Zia, Sunny Hill, and more.

One rep from an entertainment company said, "Starship Entertainment is one of the nation's entertainment companies with the highest business profit ratio . . . Loen Entertainment, which had sought a plan to create a synergy by taking over small and medium entertainment companies, has pointed to Starship Entertainment . . . It appears highly likely that the flow of large entertainment companies taking over small and medium companies with famous singers will continue for the time being."

TEEN TOP: Chunji, L.Joe
Qn: You guys seem like you have lots of experience with club parties, seeing how you did during the photoshoot?
Chunji: To be honest, although we love to dance on stage, we’re still not used to club dancing. Personally, though I like fanciful club parties, I enjoy having barbeque parties with my friends more.
L.Joe: I don’t go to clubs often. I just liked the atmosphere at the photoshoot earlier. As compared to dancing at a party, I’m the type who would observe the people around me.
Qn: Besides practising singing and dancing, what do you guys do most of the time?
Chunji: Since our trainee days, we’ve huddled together to have meals, slept together, maybe that’s why we’re able to live so comfortably and openly with one another now. We’re always talking about food when we gather. The dishes that we’re in love with right now are spicy chicken feet and stir-fried cuttlefish.
L.Joe: We talk about TV programmes, movies and fool around like kids. Occasionally, we’ll compete and bet with one another while playing “League of Legend”
Qn: What’s the thing you want most these days?
L.Joe: I hope Christmas comes quickly. There isn’t a present I want in particular but I’m looking forward to the snow. Hope it’ll be a white Christmas this year!
Qn: What words make you feel happy after hearing it?
Chunji: As compared to “you’re good looking”, I’d like to hear “you’re charming”. I’ll never get tired of hearing that.
L.Joe: I like to hear “fight on!” the most. No matter when I hear it, it’s an encouragement to me.
Qn: How would you remember the year of 2013?
Chunji: I spent the year on singing practice; I thought I was going to die. I’ve heard compliments that my skills have improved and I’m really happy about it but I’ll become an even better vocal next year.
L.Joe: I was slightly cooler this year than in 2012. Personally, I feel that be it personality or appearance, I’m much cooler than last year.
(laughs)

TEEN TOP: Changjo, Niel
Qn: You guys had such diverse expressions at the photoshoot earlier?
Changjo: I know that means that we’ve to do better. (laughs)
Niel: We just did as we were told… Really thankful that it turned out well.
Qn: What was the most memorable thing that happened this year?
Niel: I started the year as a 20 year old (Korean age) so it felt really new to me. Recently, I’ve been feeling that I should act more maturely.
Changjo: Our first concert held in May. Because of the fans who love us, we’re able to stand on such a big stage. Ricky was really nervous when he sang his solo, maybe because he was so touched, he cried the moment the performance ended. I could never forget that.
Qn: What’s the most memorable present you’ve received?
Niel: Fans’ unconditional support and love is the biggest present to us.
Changjo: I was crazy over games in elementary school. I still keep the game toy I received as Christmas present
Qn: What are the other members’ strengths you hope to have?
Changjo: I’m still far from being perfect so I really hope to have all the members’ strengths. If I really have to pick one, I’m really envious of Niel’s refreshing high-pitched vocals.
Niel: We didn’t plan this ahead, but it seems like we ended picking each other. (laughs) I hope I can dance as well as Changjo. He has excellent dance skills and yet he’s really humble, which is why I’ve so much to learn from him.
Qn: How do you plan to spend Christmas?
Changjo: It’s still a secret. If I were to give a slight hint, it seems like we’ll be spending Christmas with the fans. Of course after that, we’ll be spending time with our families.
Niel: If I have time, rather than going for a party, I’d rather go on a trip. I still remember going to London alone during our last vacation. If I have the time, I want to go on a trip again. It seems impossible for me to walk on the streets or go to a club in Korea. Just by looking at photos of Maldives makes me feel happy; I really hope that I can go there and take a rest.

TEEN TOP: C.A.P, Ricky
Qn: You guys never left the monitor screen after taking the photos.
C.A.P: Because I’m interested in the clothes.
Ricky: I wanted to see how I looked. I also wanted to see the photos of the other members
Qn: Have you ever thought of what kind of person you want to become?
C.A.P: I want to be a fun person. I’ve a quiet personality which is why I’ve never heard stuff like that about me. It’s not that I really want to be funny but sometimes I want to raise the mood too.
Ricky: I want to be an unchanging person. I want to be someone who protects that same spot, never changing.
Qn: When in the day do you feel the most comfortable?
C.A.P: When I’m done with the schedule, back in the dormitory, washed up and just lying there. I’m happy I don’t have to do anything then.
Ricky: When I’m practising. In the early days, I would work hard at practices as asked to. Recently, I feel that my body’s becoming stiff and losing track of things. This is why I work hard to return to the basic at every practice.
Qn: What was the most memorable thing that happened this year?
C.A.P: Personally, I tried out a lot of things I wanted to do. I started studying \ how to write songs and lyrics; it has been fun producing songs. I’m sure there would be a day when we could perform a song that I wrote?
Ricky: It was definitely the concert we had to commemorate our 3rd anniversary. I didn’t feel that it was work but rather a party together with the Teen Top fans.
Qn: How far do you want to go as Teen Top?
C.A.P: It’s something we started so we should see it till the end.
Ricky: Till we reach further growth and even more maturity
Qn: Have you made plans for the new year?
C.A.P: Rather than finding something new to do, I’d rather spend more time to make myself better at the things I’ve already started on.
Ricky: I hope to keep in mind “our initial goal”. I’m going to be 20 years old (Korean age) so I hope I’ll spend more personal time.

Group VIXX’s choreography for their new song “Voodoo Doll” did not pass the 3 broadcasting stations’
regulations.

On the 22nd representatives of VIXX’s agency said that VIXX will have their first comeback on national television on KBS2 Music Bank. However the choreography did not pass regulations and was inevitably edited.

VIXX also received the same verdicts from MBC Music Core and SBS Inkigayo.
The problamatic part was using the skull cane to stab their hearts. When the music video was released, there was already a violence controversy over the blood.

Officials of the company said, “The part that became the problem is where the VIXX members turned into voodoo dolls. The choreogrpahy is symbolic of expressing the sad fate of the doll being pierced in the heart,” and, “We were shocked at receiving this verdict. It’s a situation where we have to go on with the broadcast, but we are also pressured about how to change the key point of the choreography.”

VIXX’s title song “Voodoo Doll” is a song about becoming a voodoo doll to fulfill a misplaced love and expresses the sad fate of self-sacrifice for that love.

Big Bang‘s Taeyang has reportedly caught the eye of a major label in the US, and the artist’s prospective steps towards the world’s largest music market are now gaining attention from the public.

On November 21, it was confirmed that Taeyang has received love calls from American record labels, and that he is currently thinking of his next move. Detailed information has not yet been revealed, but one of the labels is said to be a very dominant major company in the US.

The artist has truly made an impact with the powerful “Ringa Linga,” as the love calls were sent after Taeyang made his recent comeback. Where as the domestic audience might find the strong hip hop sound foreign and unusual, the addictive melody of ”Ringa Linga” is highly appealing to the mainstream US music market.

YG Entertainment is giving the green light to Taeyang’s possible promotions overseas. As R&B artists with outstanding dancing skills are not very common in the US, he has a great chance of breaking into the local music market.

The only obstacle is Big Bang’s hectic schedule, which is filled with concerts and other promotions all over Asia. It will be extremely challenging to fit preparations for a US breakthrough into the solo artist’s busy calendar. The group is currently in the midst of a large-scale dome tour in Japan, and Taeyang will soon perform at the hyped Mnet Asian Music Awards on November 22 and then continue to San Francisco, where his solo concert will be held on November 26. During his visit, he will most likely meet up with representatives of music labels to discuss his love calls in more detail.

Amidst excitement that Wonder Girls' Sohee has been cast in 'Fashion King', JYP Entertainment has confirmed that she has not been cast in the upcoming film.

A rep from JYPE cleared up the rumors that Sohee would likely play the female lead, explaining, "There has been no discussion." In addition, the agency would not reveal whether Sohee had received an offer for the part of Park Hae Jin.

Meanwhile, Joo Won's agency stated that he's still in the process of negotiations and that they'll have a final decision by late-November.

As mentioned before, 'Fashion King' (not to be confused with the past drama or the survival variety show of the same title) is based on a popular webtoon and portrays the story of a male student who becomes interested in fashion and tries to become the most handsome and best-dressed man around. The reason for his decision is due to his wish to become cool enough guy to be around the ulzzang girl in his class. Joo Won is in talks to play the male lead role, Woo Ki Myung, in the film, which will be directed by Oh Ki Hwan.
