Super Junior’s member Donghae revealed the fact that he invested in Shindong’s PC bang.

Donghae participated as a temporary MC in the recent taping of MBC Every1’s Super Junior’s Foresight to fill in for Yesung who was sick. Donghae demonstrated his great hosting skills and made everyone laugh in every segment of the show, putting to shame the fact that it was his first time being an MC.

To test their lung capacity, the MCs and guests played soccer by blowing air through their lips. They lost the game and had to receive a penalty. When Donghae and Leeteuk had to curry favor with Shindong, Donghae brought up the subject of Shindong’s newly opened PC bang.

Leeteuk quickly advertised Shindong’s PC bang and Donghae then revealed that he financially helped Shindong to open up the PC bang. Kim Taewoo who appeared as a guest commented that nothing can beat financial support, filling the studio with laughter.

The story about Donghae’s investment in Shindong’s PC bang will be revealed on MBC Every1’s Super Junior’s Foresight, Wednesday March 30 at 11PM.

Super Junior’s subunit [ SJ-M ] Super Junior-M fulfilled their plans for a long stay in Taiwan, and members Siwon and Donghae will be filming GTV’s idol drama “Extravagant Challenge”. Although they have yet to meet both the female leads Ivy Chen and Bianca Bai, Zhoumi is already expressing concern about Donghae’s height disparity, afraid that he will look like a dwarf next to model Bianca Bai. Zhoumi suggested while laughing “Don’t stand next to her!”

Siwon, Donghae will be staying in Taiwan for 4 months

In order for SJ-M to expand in the Chinese music industry, plans were made through the Taiwan owned management agency Fulongstars for the 8 members to quietly arrive in Taiwan to begin their 4-month residency program. Their previous album was nominated for the Golden Melody Awards, and their new album “Perfection” has surpassed 20,000 copies. Zhoumi said: “This time we are placing our focus in Taiwan, if “Perfection” can once again be nominated, that will be too perfect!”

It’s Siwon and Donghae’s first attempt to film a Taiwanese idol drama, and they are expected to stay in Taiwan for 4 months. Two of them will be meeting both the female leads Ivy Chen and Bianca Bai for the first time and prior to the press conference on the 31st, and Siwon who had already seen pictures of them expressed using Chinese: “I feel that they are very beautiful and it’s an honour for me to be able to film a drama together with them.” On the other hand, Donghae who stands at 177cm was teased by Zhoumi saying that it would be best for him not to stand next to Bianca Bai, in case he would be dwarfed.

Donghae joked that kiss scenes are filmed for the audience

When they were asked if they would film kiss scenes, Siwon answered: “The original comic does contain kiss scenes, however, as I have yet to receive the script, I’m not sure if there will be such scenes.” Donghae on the other hand stressed that kiss scenes are important, he replied laughing: “It’s not something I personally want! It’s something that audiences would love to watch, romance drama is something everybody likes.” Eunhyuk who was present joked saying: “Donghae always practices kiss scenes with his manager.”

As for other members’ plans in Taiwan, other than learning Chinese, they wish to have other forms of development. Donghae and Kyuhyun joint hands to create laughter, they both spoke using Mandarin “Our prices are negotiable, be it food or beverage (advertisements), we are okay with it.” But when they were asked if there are any places that they wish to visit, Donghae answered helplessly: “We can’t really get out of our dorm because many fans will be following.” With that we hope that fans can give them some personal space to assimilate into Taipei’s lifestyle.

The program itself will be led with the help ofOlympic gold medalist, Kim Yuna. Other celebrities expected to appear include Kim Byung Man.  His representatives commented, “We did receive an appearance request, but because the broadcast date is unconfirmed, we have yet to make a final decision.”

On the March 29th broadcast of SBS’s “Strong Heart“, Super Junior’s Eunhyuk gave fans the sad news that he would be temporarily leaving the show.

During the broadcast, Eunhyuk stated, “I have to go to China and Taiwan to greet fans because ofSuper Junior-M’s promotions.”

Eunhyuk

 is well-known for bringing laughter through the ‘Teuk Acadamy’ segment, which he shares with fellow Super Junior members Lee Teuk and Shindong.

Eunhyuk added, “Although it’s short-term, I will successfully complete my overseas activities and return.” The MCs replied sadly, “Eunhyuk-sshi, you can’t be gone…” Meanwhile, the ’Strong Heart’ crew members presented Eunhyuk with a golden xylophone as a special gift, causing everyone on set to laugh.

Although he delivered some sad news, Eunhyuk was quick to enliven the atmosphere by sharing stories about how the Super Junior

 members were ranked, depending on the country. Cute faces likeSungmin and Lee Teuk’s are popular in Japan, while handsome looks like Siwon and Heechul’s are popular in China. In places like Thailand and Malaysia, members with friendly charms like himself connect well with the audience.

Are you sad to see Eunhyuk go? And do you agree with his analysis?

As soon as Minho received the microphone from Onew, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued naturally. And because of their professionalism, they had received many compliments and praises.

After the broadcast, Audiences commented “Their professionalism and quick thinking definitely deserve a praise.” , ”Thank god their quick reactions were able to solve the problem.”, “Although they were young, they really have the skills of being an MC!”

Extravagant Challenge”, which is gaining public attention, will finally hold an official press conference on the 31st of March. This also signifies that the drama team will be fully propelled into action, and the group of casts will also enter the four-and-a-half month filming period.

Aside from the executive producer Feng Jiarui and producer Niu Chengze, the press conference this time will also be attended by the representative of the producer from Japan, Miyaki Hisako. She would be attending the ceremony on behalf of the original author (of the manga) and the publishing company who could not make an appearance due to the earthquake in Japan. Aside from that, SJ’s Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae, who would be meeting everyone as their characters in the drama for the first time, will also be based in Taiwan for a period of time, in order to prepare for the shooting of the drama with the female lead Chen Yihan and the other casts.

As for the cast who became the centre of attention, aside from the confirmed participation of SJ’s Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae, and also Chen Yihan, the newest actress who joined in as the best friend of main female character Gong Xi (Kyoko Mogami in the original manga), Bianca Bai (Bai Bai), will also make an appearance for the first time during the official press conference. Bai Bai expressed that she is looking forward to play the character of Jiang Nanqing (Kotonami Kanae in the original manga), who is a person with brilliant acting skills but lacks emotions, because this character is significantly different from the roles she had taken on in the past. Bai Bai expresses that she is ready to take on the character, playing an acquired-type actress who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside, and has to act out the scenes whereby she becomes Gong Xi’s best friend after being completely unable to see eye-to-eye from the beginning, in addition to the PK acting competition which she has to undergo against Gong Xi on stage in order to snatch the main role for an advertisement. She said that she definitely wants the audience to be mesmerised by her performance in the drama.

All the main cast of the drama had to compress their schedules in order to fit in to the filming schedule of Extravagant Challenge. Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae would reach Taiwan to perform necessary preparations first, and because of her work in Mainland China, Chen Yihan would only rush back to Taiwan on the 30th (of March). After they meet up with each other, the three main casts will start on filming-related matters, and would officially begin the shooting of the drama in full force. It is currently estimated that the filming period would last at least four-and-a-half months.

The official press conference for the drama will be held at the Grand Hall of GTV on the 31st of March (press entrance only, no fans are allowed, and in view of environmental protection please do not send garlands). On the day, Choi Siwon, Lee Donghae, Chen Yihan, and Bianca Bai will do a catwalk together, in order to officiate the filming journey in Taiwan. Of course, during the duration of the filming, Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae would be staying in Taiwan, and prepare to experience life as a true Taiwanese. It is believed that this is great news for the fans. Note: Some parts of the article omitted.

TVXQ releases the dance version of their MV “Before You Go.”  Check it out.

Here is the original MV as well.

 

Whether a Korean or a foreign celebrity, celebrities all seem to have one thing in common: they are animal lovers—and idols are no exception. Recently, there has been a surge of idols who are unveiling their lovely pets through personal websites such as Cyworld, me2day, and Twitter. These lucky pets who get to eat, sleep, cuddle around, and enjoy nonstop physical affection with their celebrity owners can be considered idols themselves among fans who envy them. With this being the case, these star pets even boast large fan bases similar to that of their owners. So who are these popular celebrity pets?

We tried gathering a collection of stars who are madly, deeply, truly in love with their pets. This article is the first part of the three part celeb & pet series. Enjoy! :D

G-Dragon & His Shar-Pei “Gaho”

 

Awwww… the two buddies look soooooo cute together! ♥

These two are a match made in heaven :D

“Gaho” is already a superstar enjoying explosive popularity. Thanks to his awesome owner, lucky Kaho also enjoys star treatment by making special tv appearances, as on SBS’s “Kim Jung Eun’s Chocolate,” Mnet’s “BIG BANG TV,” and even G-Dragon’s music video as well as posing together for photo spreads. He even got to walk down the red carpet with daddy G-Dragon!

Tae Yang & His Dog “Boss” ♥

Tae Yang named his dog “Boss,” hoping he will become “a boss among dogs.” The two look like best buddies, how cute! :)

Lee Hyo Ri & Her Cats Mi Mi & Sooni ♥

They live together and they’re known to be huge fans of watching Mnet just like their mom, Lee Hyo Ri. Also, Chic and sexy just like their mom!

Super Junior’s Kim Hee Chul & His Cats “Heebum” and “Bang Shin” ♥

▲Whoa… check out Heebum’s sexy pose! ;)

Although the name “Bang Shin” has a similar pronunciation to the Korean word ‘byung shin’ (idiot), it’s short for “become a shin (God) of Bengals (type of cat).” The two always make great partners for posing together in photos uploaded on Cyworld and Twitter.

Super Junior’s Yesung & His Three Sulcata Tortoises and New Puppy “Kkoming” ♥

“I bought three land turtles because I felt lonely in my dorm and was looking for something fun to do,” Yesung commented on the December 9^th episode of SBS’s “Midnight Entertainment TV”. However, when he called his turtles to come over to him, they ignored his words and went away from him in the opposite direction instead. Slightly embarrassed, he jokingly commented “I raised these turtles because I felt lonely but they are making me lonelier.” At first he only raised one tortoise named “Ttangcchoma” but he later bought two more and gave them cute names, “Ttangcchoming” and “Ttangcchmaeng.”

Well it looks like Yesung finally found himself a new pet that might listen to him. On March 25^th, he revealed his new puppy named Kkoming (variation of kkomangie, meaning little one). He posted on Twitter, “Yesungie’s new family member… Our Kkoming who hasn’t even been 70 days since she was born. Black and Tan Pomeranian ~~ So so cute ^^ Grow strong beside oppa! And get along well with your turtle brothers.”

Kim Hyung Joon & His Dog Cchoko ♥

It’s a well known story to SS501 fans. About two years ago, Kim Hyung Joon bought a ‘toy poodle.’ ‘Toy poddles’ are tiny poodles that have been bred into smaller sizes like that of a stuffed animal. This is done since original poodles are usually difficult to raise inside a typical house due to their huge size. Typically, ‘toy poodles’ are tiny enough to hold up with one hand, with an average size around 26cm and weighing about 2~3kg. However, netizens are guessing that Kim Hyung Joon might have been scammed because his toy poodle (?) ‘Cchoko’ instantly grew into a huge dog that one can barely hold up with two hands.

Various photos have been posted online of Kim Hyung Joong holding Cchoko, some when he was a puppy and others of Cchoko fully grown as a huge mid-sized dog. It has been said that during his radio show, he confessed his mistake by admitting that he “accidently fed him 80 grains of dog food for each meal, when it was supposed to be 80 a day.” Yet the fans are claiming despite feeding an overloaded amount of food, a toy poodle can’t all of sudden grow into a supersized poodle and are convinced he was scammed into buying a dog which wasn’t a toy poodle in the first place.

SHINee and Their Dogs “Eve” and “Coco” ♥

SHINee’s Lee Tae Min named his cute toy poodle “Eve” to commemorate their first meet on Christmas Eve of 2006. Lee Tae Min expressed his love for Eve by stating, “Every day when I open my eyes in the morning and close my eyes at night, you are always next to me. That’s the happiest time of the day. Let’s always be together for the start and end of everything for a long time! I’ll love you more.” Kim Ki Bum named his Yorkshire Terrier “Coco” because the first thing that popped into his mind when he saw brown “Coco” was a chocolate cookie. He commented, “My lovely treasure Coco, I truly want to live forever with you. I’ll never be apart from you!”

JYJ’s Yoochun & His Dogs “Harangie” and “Norae” ♥

 

▲When Harangie was young

▲Santa Norae :D

JYJ’s Jae Joong & His Cat “Ji Ji” ♥

▲Soundly sleeping on an expensive pillow—Louis Vuitton wallet! ;)

 

JYJ’s Junsu & His Cats “Tigger,” “Leo,” “Lee On,” “Bakira,” and “Pard” ♥

Sung Yuri & Her Dog “Eing Eing Ei” ♥

Sung Yuri recently revealed cute couple photos taken with her dog “Eing Eing Ei” on Facebook. In the photos, she is taking a bike ride with “Eing Eing Ei” sitting in the bike basket. Along with the photos, she wrote “Taking a bike ride with my Eing Eing Ei~” and “Chic Eing Eing Ei~ You’re tired of hanging out with Yuri?”.
