2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) to Take Over Hong Kong in November

With award season fast approaching, CJ E&M has confirmed that this year’s highly-anticipated Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) will take place in Hong Kong on November 22.
The annual music festival, which is in its fifth year and gathers the world’s hottest acts in music, will return to Hong Kong this year and take over the AsiaWorld-Expo, which has seen stars like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Jason Mraz grace its stage. 

“Now in its fifth year since being transformed into Asia’s premier music festival, MAMA’s impact has spread far beyond its origins in Korea to across Asia and other parts of the world,” said Han Dong Chul, General Manager of CJ E&M’s music channel Mnet. “Fans and artists alike have been waiting a year for this show, and in November will get a performance only dreamt about until now, bringing together all the top-class creativity and fifteen year production know-how of Mnet.” 

Han added, “As Asia’s greatest music festival, Hong Kong is also the ideal venue for MAMA given the city’s critical location as a geographical and cultural international hub.”

The 2012 MAMA was previously held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. MAMA has gone through a few name changes in its history, but anticipation is growing for the event that has come a long way to become a mainstay in K-Pop music.

[News] Shinhwa, Shinhwa Broadcast within Running Man, “worthy of the name”

Shinhwa’s Running Man appearance was of “a god-like level”. The 5 of them, missing Kim Dongwan, demonstrated a game ability and variety sense that overpowered the members.

Shinhwa appeared on 1st September’s broadcast of SBS “Good Sunday - Running Man” and had already attracted attention before the broadcast. Although it is their first appearance on SBS after a long time, it is also because they’re a team that boasts of making “Shinhwa Broadcast” a success with just the Shinhwa members alone.

On this day, all the Shinhwa members took on an active role. In the earlier games, Andy changed into a cheating king and toppled Kim Jongkook, receiving the hint. Shinhwa was also in danger after the won food and hints. As Andy and Shin Hyesung were the first to be eliminated, they were immediately disadvantaged in numbers.

However, Lee MInwoo and Junjin teamed up, eliminated Gary and Haha, and gained confidence. Yoo Jaesuk and Eric, who were each team’s “person who doesn’t die”, came up against each other, building up tension. At the end of the game, only Eric remained and he gave all the Running Man members the slip, obtained Yoo Jaesuk’s name tag and achieved victory.

The Running Man members, who failed to receive the hints and were all eliminated upon Eric’s successful solo completion of the mission, could not hide their expression of hopelessness. Despite that, while recalling the times they promoted together, they expressed their satisfaction at filming together after a long time by saying “It was really fun”. Shinhwa members too, did not forget to say, “Please call us again”.

Actually, for this episode, having to do it on sea and land under such hot weather, there were lots of games that were very tiring physically. The games looked hard but Shinhwa’s activeness, which made their statement that their “average age is 34.4. years” pale in comparison, brought about laughter. Shinhwa, who’re the longest-running idol, showed the best variety sense without holding back, displayed their unique sense of identity within Running Man, and made yet another Shinhwa Broadcast.

[News] “Running Man” Shinhwa’s still alive~ brilliant play similar to an action movie

Shinhwa won in the first game through an activeness similar to an action movie.

On 1st September’s broadcast of SBS “Good Sunday - Running Man”, Shinhwa transformed into pirates and a race with their prides on the line unfolded with the “Running Man” members.

On this day, in the flag race, which was the first game, Shinhwa achieved victory with movements similar to an action movie. Initially, Shinhwa was helpless at “Running Man” members’s surprising team work but eventually, they achieved victory and proved the power of the longest running idols.

Shinhwa continued to hold on to the flag despite the fouls and tackles by the RUnning Man members, and ran towards the finish line. Through a repeat of passes, the Shinhwa members flew around but were continuously blocked by the Running Man members at the finish line, and they expressed their regret.

However, Shinhwa exhibited their competitiveness till the end, and while showing their strength of never letting the flag go, they also displayed their phenomenal teamwork and power. Shinhwa received a decisive hint that would help them win the final game through their victory in this game.

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."

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."

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.”
