Kim Hyung Jun - Sorry I'm Sorry MVKim Hyung Jun (from SS501) is back with "Sorry I'm Sorry" from his 2nd mini album "Escape". APink - BubibuAPink is a 7 member girl group from A Cube Entertainment. They debuted last year and "BubiBu" is their latest single. LED Apple – Run To You MVLED Apple is 5 member rock band under Startory Entertainment. "Run To You" is from their new mini album. ZE:A – Aftermath MVZE:A is a 9 member boy band from Star Empire Entertainment. "Aftermath" is the first single from their 2nd album "Spectacular". Younha - Run MV"Run" is the title track from Younha's 4th album "Supersonic" released on July 3. I really like this song. Not surprisingly, the video has a lot of running in it. Hello Venus – Like a Waveofficial site: hellovenus.co.krHello Venus is a 6 member girl group that debuted in May. They're officially under Pledis Entertainment but the group is a joint project by Pledis and Fantiago. The dance pop track 파도처럼 (Like A Wave) is their 2nd single. 2NE1 - I Love You MVThe "I Love You" MV is finally out. I also added the link to my post on the previous page. Seems like T-ara have added about 4 new members im pretty sure they used to be a 4 piece .funny considering Ji Yeon is by far the most popular member . Ok seems they are now 9 members .they are allegedly Korea's no 2 girl group behind SNSD and are huge in Japan where they have spent a lot of time of recent . Cool vid in a post apocalyptic way but they need to practice the sword fighting . Ji Yeon is pretty but my favorite member is Eun Jung. She's the main reason I started paying attention to them.

Along the subject of music, can someone answer a question for me? I love the song from "A Gentleman's Dignity", I foung it on Youtube with eng. subs. it is called "High High". At one point the lyrics go "My heart that sees you is High High, And I am feeling High High. Then later on the lyrics go " I love you, Hi Hi (my love), Thank you, Hi Hi (my Love). Can anyone tell me why my love is translated as Hi Hi? I thought love in korean was sarang-- I thought maybe it was "slang" or something like that.....thanks!

"My Love" wasn't being translated as "High High". According to the lyrics, "my love" is being said in the background. That's why it's in parenthesis.

Thanks for clearing that up-- can't hear the "my love" when I listen to it on my computer and the use of "high, High" and "Hi, Hi" was confusing me.

AOA 1st Single Album Teaser (Ver. Angel) AOA 1st Single Album Teaser (Ver. ELVIS) AOA - ELVIS (just the song) official site: www.a-o-a.co.krAOA (ACE OF ANGELS) is a new 8 member girl group from FNC Music. Their debut single "Angels Story" is set to be released on July 30. AOA member Hye Jeong appears in episode 3 of the SBS drama A Gentleman's Dignity. Cross Gene – Sky HighCross Gene is releasing the 2nd single from Timeless Begins titled "Sky High". CHAOS – Racer MVThe male group Chaos is back with "Racer". A-Prince – You're The Only One MVJang Jae In – Rainy DayViViD – Scary Stories MVNew ballad from ViViD for "Scary Stories". Sunny Days – Don’t Touch MeAfter School - Flashback (KBS Music Bank July 27, 2012) After School - Flashback (MBC Music Core July 28, 2012) Nana wasn't there for the Music Bank performance. You can always tell she's missing because the camera stays on Lizzy most of the time. Lizzy and Nana seem to get like 75% of the camera time. Nana was there for the Music Core performance. NS Yoon-G - I Got You (KBS Music Bank July 27, 2012) You can always count on Yoon Ji for a good dose of hair flips. T-ara - Day by Day (KBS Music Bank July 27, 2012) So Yeon (likely from filming the upcoming drama Haeundae Lovers) and Hwa Young (injured) weren't there. Eun Jung seemed to sing half the song. Speaking of T-ara, there seems to be trouble with the group. It started when several members made comments on twitter that seemed to be criticizing injured member Hwa Young. This isn't the first time there's been talk of T-ara members possibly not getting along. Some blame it all on CCM (their management company) and CEO Kim Kwang Soo. Others say it's simply the egos of some members getting the best of them. An announcement is expected from the CEO on July 30. There might be changes to T-ara but I doubt he disbands the group. T-ara is successful as a group but they don't have anyone with solo artist potential. Eun Jung and Ji Yeon are the most successful outside of the group but that's as actresses.

AOA - ELVIS MV (full version) The full version of AOA's "ELVIS" M/V is out. It's the title tack from their 1st single album "ANGELS STORY". Wonder Girls - Nobody MV (Japanese version) The Wonder Girls released a Japanese single "Nobody For Everybody". It's the Japanese version of their hit song "Nobody" and contains Korean and English versions of the song as well. After School - Flashback (SBS Inkigayo July 29, 21012) After School's last performance of "Flashback" on Inkigayo. It featured aegyo and had a Gangnam Style ending. The T-ara saga continues. Injured member Hwa Young was removed from the group. Although she was allegedly the one being bullied by other members of T-ara, CCM (T-ara's management company) CEO Kim Kwang Soo said Hwa Young was the one causing problems within the group. Hwa Young posted on twitter "statements without truth" after CEO Kim Kwang Soo spoke to the media. Netizens were furious with Hwa Young's removal from the group and aren't buying what the the CEO said about her having a "dark side". T-ara members and CCM have been getting a lot of backlash since Hwa Young was kicked out. Some advertisers and/or sponsors have dropped them. T-ara's official fan cafe has become an anti-fan cafe. Netizens have asked SBS and KBS to remove T-ara members Eun Jung from the upcoming SBS drama Five Fingers and So Yeon from the upcoming KBS drama Haeundae Lovers. Both networks have stated that the T-ara members won't be removed. Yesterday, July 31, Hwa Young was spotted going to CCM headquarters to meet personally with the CEO. It seems she apologized for her behavior and both sides are trying to work out their differences. I don't follow T-ara close enough to know what's truly going on here. Maybe this is all a bad publicity stunt. But, IMO, I think Hwa Young really was being bullied. Her twin sister Hyo Young is also with CCM. It wouldn't surprise me if the CEO threatened Hwa Young and her family using Hyo Young and she was forced to apologize and publicly make up with the CEO and T-ara.

KKS used to be a mafia. Mod note: edited post to remove rest of quote.

Yes thanks Knov . I have been following this T-Ara saga ....Truth is probably right on this i remember a few years ago there was an actress on Boys/Flowers who hanged her self because her manager was forcing her to have sex with him . There is probably a very dark underbelly to these (not all)idol groups that we never hear about . The first season of Dream High alluded to gangsters in the music biz but of course it was done comedic with a hint of truth . Mod note: Edited post to shorten quote.
