      <title>Kim Kyu Jong is a mama&#8217;s boy</title>

      <description>SS501 has been quite a lot of shows this week including SBS Quiz! Sixth Sense which airs tomorrow. On the show, Kim Kyu Jong stated that he wouldn&#39;t marry someone his parents disapproved of. 

He said, &quot;I won&#39;t marry someone if my parents don&#39;t allow it. My parents&#39; marriage was disapproved of but now they&#39;re happy. But for me, I love my parents so I don&#39;t think I could marry someone if my parents strongly say no.&quot; 

This is the first time I&#39;ve heard that kind of answer from someone. Usually, people stand up for their love but I guess Kyu Joong is not capable of giving it his all for his lucky lady. 

Kim Hyun Joong and Park Jung Min disagreed with the mama&#39;s boy and said they would still marry the girl even if their parents didn&#39;t want them to.</description>

      <description>SS501 was on Kim Jung Eun&#39;s Chocolate to share their new album as well as tell a few interesting stories.

On today&#39;s episode of Chocolate, Kim Hyun Joong revealed he had fully recovered from swine flu. He said, &quot;I&#39;ve totally recovered yet there are still people who try to avoid me. Please don&#39;t do that, it hurts my feelings.&quot;

He continued to talk about his experiences with swine flu, &quot;I usually don&#39;t feel that sick but I was shopping and I felt horrible so I went to the doctor&#39;s. From then, they transferred me to the a room where I was alone. Then they told me I had swine flu. When I was diagnosed, Heo Young Saeng visited me many times and even ate with me in the hospital.&quot;

Kim Hyun Joong expressed how thankful he was of his fellow member, Young Saeng. He then went on to talk about his role in Boys Over Flowers. He said, &quot;Because my role as Jihoo, I became a lot quieter. But now I&#39;m back, since I&#39;m doing promotions with my members, I&#39;ve become loud and energetic again.&quot;

Park Jung Min talked about his experience in the field of musicals, &quot;My actions have been more bold and I overreact more now.&quot;

Kim Kyu Jong spoke about how he met his ideal type, Oh Se Jung. He said, &quot;I was walking while talking on the phone and I saw Oh Se Jung. But we were both so surprised we didn&#39;t even greet each other. My heart was beating! Then I got home and went on her minihompy and it said, &#39;I&#39;m disappointed I didn&#39;t get to greet him today.&#39; I don&#39;t know if it was directed at me but it seemed like it, so I even sent her a message on Cyworld. If you&#39;re watching this, please check my message. Also set your BGM as our music. Good luck in everything.&quot;

      <description>Although Boom is currently serving time in the army, there are still a few episodes with him on the SBS Strong Heart program remaining, which features the stomach&#45;cramping and tear&#45;inducing &quot;Boom Academy&quot;. 

In a recent broadcasting of the popular variety show, Boom assumes the role of a DJ and parodies the typical nightclub scene which he should be very familiar with. After Boom reveals a few tasks that an average DJ handles, he invites the celebrity guests on the show &#45; among which were Super Junior&#39;s Lee Teuk and KARA&#39;s Seung Yeon &#45; to flaunt their &quot;ssanti&quot;, or cheap, dance. Things really got cracking when MC Kang Ho Dong and Lee Seung Gi join in on the fun.

Witness the craziness of the episode below.

Indeed, Boom Academy&#39;s recreation of a club was hilarious, to say the least, but we all know it&#39;s not a &quot;ssanti&quot; party until 2PM&#39;s Woo Young and 2AM&#39;s Jokwon step into the scene.

      <link>http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/u-kiss_is_successful_where/</link>
      <guid>http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/u-kiss_is_successful_where/</guid>
      <description>U&#45;Kiss has been having some great success in Thailand!

The now 7 member group had a comeback stage for their new single &quot;Man Man Ha Ni&quot; on KBS2TV&#39;s Music Bank this week. Their previous single &quot;Bring It Back 2 Old School&quot; featuring the single &quot;I Like You&quot; was promoted over in Thailand during their break from the Korean scene.

This past October 29th, U&#45;Kiss was being very active in Thailand, spending 5 straight days holding fan meetings, doing mini&#45;concerts, holding showcases, appearing on TV shows, guesting on radio shows, doing a photo book shoot, having interviews, holding a press conference, attending a signing event, and many many other things, all packed into just 5 days!

Their numerous Thai fans surprised the group when they sang their two previous singles &quot;I Like You&quot; and &quot;Talk to Me&quot; from beginning to end in Korean and some fans had even had the entire dance memorized!

The successful completion of the first international promotions for U&#45;Kiss was seen as a big positive for the future of the band. &quot;The Thailand promotions for U&#45;Kiss were amazing. The fans singing along in Korean and dancing was really surprising. We are very thankful for you guys because even with a completely jam packed schedule, we were able to enjoy our promotions. If all of out international fans could match you guys, it would be awesome.&quot; 

In 2008, &quot;True Music,&quot; a big music show in Thailand, held a popularity poll for K&#45;pop artists. To everyone&#39;s amazement, U&#45;Kiss pulled the win over the Wonder Girls in a huge upset.

      <title>SM Entertainment to give TVXQ a new contract?</title>
      <link>http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/sm_entertainment_to_give_tvxq_a_new_contract/</link>
      <guid>http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/sm_entertainment_to_give_tvxq_a_new_contract/</guid>
      <description>SM Entertainment CEO&#39;s Kim Young Min, who is involved in the ‘unfair contract’ dispute with his three members of TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki, has recently announced a new contract policy, and that it will be put into action once it gets approved by the related authorities.

&quot;Kim Young Min, who attended the press conference which was held on the 2nd of November 2009 at 63 Tower, has expressed, “We would collect all comments from music and entertainment industries, related government departments, cultural and tourism board, fair trade departments, educational circles and legislative bodies, based on the law to adjudicate a new contract policy. After the approval from the respective authorities, we would then put it into action. Then follow it (new contract policy) enthusiastically.”

Kim agreed, “If we are able to come out with a new exclusive contract policy based on the law, SM would like to re&#45;contract with all current artistes based on it.”

Kim also expressed, “Under the new exclusive contract, from the moment it’s signed, it would be protected till the contract ended, if not the current situation would repeat over and over again in the future.”

“In order to prove what I have just said is nothing but the truth, we would first like to take the advice from the impartial committee,” he said.

But, everyone was not able to fully believe this announcement by SM Entertainment. Professor Lee from Korea Art University stated, “If SM do not wish to have what they have just said to turned into nothing, then they should assure them.” He continued, “Based on what SM have said, they do not wish to fully take on the advice from the impartial committee, but to forcefully come out with a new contract policy, which was questionable (their announcement).” Professor Lee ended, “If SM was really sincere about this, they should work on the new contract based on the advice and not vice versa, and then to get it approved by the representative authorities.”

We will have to see what the authorities in charge of the case do with this new contract. If the contract is fair in their judgment and if the boys will accept it, but this seems a bit promising.

Earlier today, on Japan&#39;s COUNTDOWN TV Program Big Bang performed this new single for the first time. Before they performed they had a brief message in Japanese and I have no idea what they said, but I enjoyed the performance. Check it out below, also remember to check out the BBVIP Forums.

      <title>Hyun Joong&#8217;s ideal girl is&#8230;</title>

      <description>On the Nov 7th episode of Champagne, SS501 leader Kim Hyun Joong chose the past Miss Korea as his ideal girl in the &quot;Ideal Girl World Cup&quot; corner of the show. 

In those 32 rounds, there were Goo Hye Sun, Lee Min Jung, and Han Chae Young, who were all from Boys Over Flowers. However in a surprising move, he dropped all of them. He stated that &quot;In Boys Over Flowers, I was shaking for the kiss scene with Han Chae Young, so I mouth washed every morning.&quot; which was why he dropped the BOF cast.

When SS501 first debuted, Kim Hyun Joong stated that his ideal girl was Lee Hyori. But he has changed his mind recently with f(x)&#39;s Krystal catching his attention as he chose her over Hyori in one of the rounds, launching her all the way to the final round.

The final round was between f(x)&#39;s Krystal and Honey Lee and he chose Miss Korea 2006, Honey Lee (Lee Ha&#45;Nui) as his ultimate ideal girl!



For the final round he said, &quot;I saw Lee Honey play the gaya geum and it was so attractive.&quot; He also said &quot;For Krystal, I would have to take on a brotherly role and teach her many things, but I think I can play with Honey freely, which is what I like.&quot;

After Kim Hyun Joong stated that he was a bad boy type, Honey Lee told him, &quot;I like bad boys.&quot; Which I&#39;m sure made him more nervous than the Boys Over Flowers kissing scene. Other guests for this episode were all of SS501, SNSD Jessica, Kim Ji Woo, Honey Lee, and Han Sung Joo.

It seems Kim Hyun Joong likes a lot of different type of girls. If you can recall earlier, Kim Hyun Joong also mentioned that he was a big fan of Korea&#39;s gold medal figure skater Kim Yuna. Remember to visit the SS501 Quainte Forums.

Starts at 4:46.

      <description>Despite all the ups and downs the came with the TVXQ vs. SM Entertainment issue, the boys are doing what they can to help their fans keep the faith.

They have released another Japanese single titled Toki Wo Tomete. This lovely ballad was featured on a CF for the cosmetics brand Menard back in August. Check out the snippet here:

The song was also previously featured on TOHOSHINKI THE LIVE 2009. Although the quality of the track is not as clean as we&#39;d like, it will have to do for now. Hang tight with allkpop until a clearer version is released!

      <title>Why is HyunA so sad?</title>

      <guid>http://www.allkpop.com/index.php/full_story/why_is_hyuna_so_sad/</guid>
      <description>Nobody knows as of yet, but HyunA of 4minute definitely had tears in her eyes for this week&#39;s performance of &quot;What A Girl Wants&quot; on Music Core.

The fierce girl wipes away a tear at 0:13 and is starry eyed for the whole song. Her rapping wasn&#39;t as intense as her other performances and her usual stellar dancing looked dull and tired.



What could possibly be hurting our beautiful HyunA so much?

Neither Cube Entertainment nor the Korean media have given or reported the reason for HyunA&#39;s melancholy as of yet.

Netizens have been speculating that her stomach problems might have returned (which was the reason she left Wonder Girls). Others think that it might&#39;ve been &quot;that time of the month,&quot; while some felt it&#39;s just a classic case of celebrities being overworked. 

Being only 17, HyunA must be stressed out from her crazy Korean celebrity life.

Whatever it is, give the girl some support! 

Leave a shout out for her over at the 4minute forums!</description>

      <description>The movie 71 tells the story about 71 South Korean student soldiers who fight against several hundred North Korean soldiers in the war on August 10th, 1950.

Back in February, Big Bang&#39;s Seungri along with young actors Yoo SeungHo and Kim Bum were cast in 71. However, due to budget constraints and schedule conflicts the original cast dropped out of the movie leaving many doubts about 71.

A new production company took over 71 and re&#45;hauled the project. They&#39;re renaming the movie to Into the Gunfire and have found two new stars, Kwon Sang Woo and Big Bang&#39;s T.O.P. Cha Seung Won and Kim Seung Woo (North Korean agent from IRIS) were also cast for the movie as well. The storyline will pretty much stay the same except that they&#39;ll probably change Kwon Sang Woo&#39;s role into an older soldier as the original role called for a student. Filming for this movie will take place near the end of November and currently it&#39;s planned to be released in theaters around the summer of 2010.

Looks like T.O.P. is getting more and more important roles as an actor, he has a lot of potential. Thanks to Sarah Kristinen for the tip.</description>

      <description>So which female kpop idol is that flaunting what her mama gave her? If you can&#39;t already tell from the picture posted above, she is the goddess leader of the sexy quintet that rocked their booties everywhere all summer long! Yup, you got it &#45; Park Gyuri of Kara!

Photos have recently made their way on the internet, revealing Kara members Gyuri and Nicole enjoying themselves on what seems like their vacation. Perhaps this was taken during their stay in Guam? Honestly, after getting an eyeful of that, who really cares? It&#39;s rare to see our perfectly poised and dressed idols clad in so little, so it&#39;s time to relish the moment, fanboys and girls!

Aside from the lovely bikini shot, Gyuri takes a 180 and poses in such a dignified manner with fellow member Nicole and a friend while having some breakfast. Another picture of Nicole and the friend has also managed to be discovered. While it&#39;s not as much as her leader&#39;s, Nicole still manages to show off a good bit of skin. I think we can all agree that the girls of Kara should take more frequent vacations if it means getting more candy for our eyes!</description>
