Though Lee Jong Suk is one of the hottest rising actors today, he's apparently scared of attention.

On the 28th, he and Kim Woo Bin were interviewed by 'One Night of TV Entertainment' while they were doing a CF filming. A lot of the fans were at the stadium set and cheered when they saw the two actors appear.

The reporter commented, "You must be happy because your fans are so happy to see you." However, Lee Jong Suk said, "To be honest, I'm scared when all the focus is on me. When people look at me and scream, I get scared."

The answer surprised the reporter who asked him, "How are you dealing with that fear?" Lee Jong Suk smiled and said, "I just watched my friend Kim Woo bin next to me, and I dealt with it."

HEE'S BACK + GETS AN AWARD FOR EXEMPLARY PUBLIC SERVICE OFFICER

HEE'S BACK + GETS AN AWARD FOR EXEMPLARY PUBLIC SERVICE OFFICER

10:09 pm - 08/29/2013


After what feels like an eternity, Heechul (30) has officially been discharged with the completion of his service!

Since he wanted a quiet discharge, Heechul did not plan any sort of event and thus, did not offer any words or speech. However, to express is gratitude for the 150+ fans and reporters that had gathered anyways, Heechul stepped outside briefly to smile and wave.

The idol enlisted back in September 2011 as a public service officer and was awarded for being an exemplary officer upon his discharge. The future ahead of him also seems bright as he is already said to be receiving love calls left and right.

Welcome back, Heechul!


On August 29, it was revealed that Super Junior's Kim Heechul (30) will receive an award acknowledging him as an exemplary public service officer while serving at Sungdong.

A rep revealed via a phone interview with media outlet Star News, "Kim Hee Chul is expected to be discharged from the army on August 30 but he will be honored with an award before he is formally discharged."

Kim Hee Chul enlisted back on September 1, 2011, and has since served as a public service officer at Sungdong. In 2006 Kim Hee Chul was involved in a serious accident that required him to undergo a major surgery, which resulted in him becoming a public service officer rather than an active duty soldier.

As previously requested, Kim Hee Chul plans to be quietly discharged from the army without any public ceremony.

Kim Hee Chul who is known to posses a variety of skills in singing, acting, and more has already been receiving numerous love calls from variety shows, dramas, but there is no confirmation of his official return.

His reps previously commented, "After his discharge, Kim Hee Chul is planning to practice as much as he can, and once he is ready he will join the rest of the members for Super Junior's World Tour. But we cannot say for certain when that will be."

After the surprising news that Woollim Entertainment, home to musical groups Infinite, Nell, and Tasty, was merging with SM C&C, a subsidiary of SM Entertainment, to form the label “Woollim Label” the agency is speaking out to the media.

To news agency Sports Korea, a high ranking employee of Woollim stated, “Woollim’s music will not change, and it will continue to pursue new music and challenges and keep its originality because it will be individually managed even after the merge and acquisition.

SM Entertainment will be in charge of the global distribution of the music and other businesses of artists’ under “Woollim Label,” while SM C&C will be in charge of the label’s functions.

The rep emphasized that it was not a sudden decision but made after careful consideration of the agency’s artists’ futures. “It was decided after a long deliberation and consideration of the artists and employees. We understand the public’s reaction of surprise since the agency has been making a comparable profit as you can see from the successful progression of Infinite’s world tour. But the music market quickly changes so instead of worrying about short-term profits, we decided after discussing things with the artists and thinking about the long-term and security of their careers.”

7:54 pm - 08/08/2013


SM Entertainment announced on August 7 that they will be opening a hybrid entertainment arena in Los Angeles.

The building is located on the corner of Oxford street and will most likely be the location for the proposed “SMTOWN Museum.”

A representative of SM Town said, “For long term and stable business promotion in the United States, SM Entertainment USA has purchased the building. It will be in the form of a museum with Korean restaurants, entertainment venues, and showcases that use hologram and other media.

HEECHUL TO BE DISCHARGED ON AUGUST 30TH!!!!

REJOICE OMONA! HEECHUL TO BE DISCHARGED ON AUGUST 30TH!!!!

11:05 am - 08/06/2013


With his upcoming discharge date later this month, Super Junior's Heechul expressed his wish for a quiet ceremony.

It's been announced that Heechul will be discharged on August 30th. Although his official discharge date was the 31st, he is being discharged a day early because the 31st falls on a Saturday.

Heechul enlisted as a public service officer in September of 2011 rather than an active duty soldier due to his past, severe injuries from a serious car accident. At the time of his enlistment, about 400 fans had gathered to bid him farewell, so this has been raising questions about whether we'll be seeing a familiar scene at his upcoming discharge event.

However, Heechul has expressed his wish for a quiet ceremony and he and his reps have decided on the direction of making this just a private event. The reason they say is because the idol considers serving as a duty that all Korean men should carry out, and doesn't think it warrants a big and fussy ceremony to welcome him back.

Hopefully fans will be understanding and honor his wish for a smooth and quiet discharge!

WHAT EXO CAN LEARN FROM SHINHWA ABOUT OVERZEALOUS FANS

WHAT EXO CAN LEARN FROM SHINHWA ABOUT OVERZEALOUS FANS

2:54 pm - 08/06/2013



EXO has been all over the news lately. They just released a new single, "Growl" and the song has gotten praise from not only critics and fans, but other artists as well.

The members are busy with their promotional activities and have a long list of appearances scheduled throughout the summer and into next month.

Recently they have been gaining a fair amount of negative press, however - though it is no fault of their own.

Rather, a number of overzealous fans have been excessive in the way they show their love. Stalking behavior, dangerous antics, and unabashed invasion of privacy seem to be the norm for these fans and their inappropriate antics have gotten the entire fandom banned from the Inkigayo studio.

However, EXO is definitely not the first idol group to have such intense fans. They follow in the tradition of other popular groups like H.O.T, TVXQ, and Shinhwa.

These days, Shinhwa has a very special and respectful relationship with their fandom, but the now-pleasant atmosphere is after the group members spoke out to their followers directly - an example EXO can probably learn from.

During a fan meeting for their first album, Dong Wan spoke directly to the fans saying, "Shinhwa isn't responsible for your lives."

The now famous, and often repeated, quote lost him and his group a fair amount of fans at the time who were offended by his words. Looking back now, it is clear to see that the true fans are the ones who took his message to heart and the group still boasts one of the largest fandoms in K-Pop.

Even a decade or so later, when it seemed like fans were getting out of control again, Eric addressed the Changjos in an online message. On July 7, 2011 he wrote:

Shinhwa has always lived joking around without too much arguing, but we couldn't have gotten this far without some seriousness, to be honest. I feel a certain kind of responsibility over our younger fans.

This might be all over the place, but I'm going to say some things that you might not like, but it's all for your own good so don't be too shocked~ It'd probably be about the same things your parents tell you, but it would be more convincing if the words came out of your favorite oppa, won't it?

Getting first place and being popular - these things aren't our goals anymore.

Though on television or on stage, Shinhwa might just be another entertainer, we want Shinhwa, our very own stories that we tell to our fans directly to affect your fans positively so that when you all grow up to be successful, you are able to say that Shinhwa was your favorite idol group when you were young and the things they said and did influenced you to get that far.

If I see an interview like that in the future, I think that is the success that Shinhwa is striving for.

So please let Shinhwa succeed. We will lead you to a good road to the best of our ability, and we will try our best to give you happiness like the entertainers we are when you're tired and down.

Though this post might be all over the place, I hope you understood my meaning~ While having fun, I wish you do the things you're meant to do well and be successful, strong SHCJs~ Hwaiting!!


Looking back on their behavior, a lot of fans realized the error of their ways and have sine chosen to express their feelings for the group in more productive, respectful ways.

Maybe because they are still new to the scene and their success depends on album sales which, in turn, depend on their fans, but the EXO members have yet to give their extreme fans a talking to.

Doing so may lose them many supporters at first, but in the long run they will end up weeding out the crazy ones and be left with a fandom full of honest supporters who really do just want the best for them.

HANGENG DOCUMENTARY "YOUTH : THE BEST OF TIMES" (ENG. SUB)

HANGENG DOCUMENTARY "YOUTH : THE BEST OF TIMES" (ENG. SUB)

11:05 pm - 08/05/2013
This is a documentary about Hangeng's childhood, about the hard times he faced while at dance school, signing with SME and promoting with Super Junior, his suicidal thoughts, and how and why he ultimately left.



For reference, 1 yuan is about 15 cents USD. Hangeng was basically living off of $35-40 a month for a large portion of his life. His school fees jumped from ~$80 USD to $1300.

And why he ultimately left. This didnt really get into too much detail. From what I've heard, he did try to get CF/acting gigs, but SME would always try to tack on additional members of SJ-M. SME didn't allow him to get any deals by himself (and he had the offers), when other members could.

edit: I switched the videos. The first was a shortened 30 minute version, this is 45 minutes and much higher quality.
