30 June 2011 tvN may not air UEE’s drama, ‘Birdie Buddy’


Cable channel tvN previously announced that they had picked up After School’s UEE’s golf drama, ‘Birdie Buddy‘. Unfortunately, they may not be airing it after all.

On June 28th, the productions staff for the drama said, “We are discussing over everything optimistically but it has not been confirmed 100%. We are open to all possibilities at the moment.

Until now, the makers scheduled for an August release date on tvN. The contract covered many details, which is why it was true that the whole deal had been thoroughly and positively planned. Unfortunately, they have reached some difficulties with the final signings because of the way cable scheduling works.

The production staff said, “When we were contracting with UEE, we promised a major network. We need to figure it out with UEE’s company. This is not a big problem so we think it won’t cause a huge damage on the final contract.

The drama already has faced a lot of hardship, so this is definitely another hurdle to jump over.

29 June 2011 After School Boys to debut later this year!


The male version of Pledis Entertainment’s After School, ‘After School Boys‘, has revealed that they will be making their debut at the end of this year.

They’re currently comprised of four members that are training within the company, but an additional one or two will be added through further auditions.

A representative of Pledis said, “We’re currently thinking of a total of five to six members. They’ll be making their debut at the end of the year, and After School Boys is not their official name. We’ll be finalizing their name soon before going into deciding on their music and stage concept.

They continued, “As a company that only houses female artists like Son Dambi and After School, we’ve piqued the interest of fans with our first ever male group. They’ll be a group featuring a different and unique feel.

29 June 2011 After School Chosen as Cosmetic Models for Saem



After School has been chosen to become brand models for the cosmetic company Saem.

The combination of After School’s unique and charismatic charms is expected to attract a lot of attention and increase brand awareness. After School’s popularity has risen not only from their powerful performances but also from members involvement in entertainment areas like dramas and variety shows. Even though shooting the ads lasted from morning until late at night the members of After School were ”consistently bright and cheerful in appearance”.


“After School also recently developed into Hallyu stars, and have gained great popularity abroad” which will most likely “enhance the brand image and increase awareness”. The company is hoping that partnering with After School will publicize the brand and attract potential customers into trying their products. With a group as beautiful and talented as After School this won’t be hard to do.

27 June 2011 Uee is Expected to Resign from ‘Night After Night’ in July


U-ie’s position as an MC on the show ‘Night After Night’ will most likely come to an end.

U-ie has been an MC on the show since November of 2010 and has been a great asset due to her popularity and entertaining charms. An official from ‘Night After Night’ released a statement detailing how busy U-ie was due to her commitments to the show along with After School’s activities. Also, U-ie will be starring in the upcoming drama ‘Golden Pond’ which is sure to take up even more of her time. The official also mentioned that even without U-ie leaving the shows format was due to naturally change at some point.

Hopefully after U-ie’s drama starts she can appear on ‘Night After Night’ as a guest. It would be interesting to see her interact with her old co-hosts as a guest insead of an MC

27 June 2011 After School and Kahi turn it up for tvN’s “Show Show Show” premiere


Two weeks ago, we revealed the first glimpse of tvN’s new show “Show Show Show“. On June 26th, the show finally aired its premiere episode!

‘Show Show Show’ reinvents variety shows, as it is formatted as a music show that revolves around special performances–such as singing, dancing and comedy–from singers that are typically seen during the end-of-the-year awards.

The show will allow singers to pay tributes to fellow senior, junior or colleague singers of all types of genres–such as ballad, trot, rock, dance, and indie–through joint stages, parodies and comedy sketches.




In fact, fans will get the chance to see the nation’s legendary singers sing and dance to idol group songs while idols put on special stages to their seniors’ songs with their own flavor. The program, in short, will give artists the chance to put on their own special performance for the world to see. 

The show will allow artists to be hands-on and experimental with their performances.

For example, if an artist chooses to put on a special stage, they will have total control over the set, lighting, props, and even costumes for their performance. It will be the ultimate opportunity for artists to express their creativity through showcasing their talent freely.

Idol girl group After School was one of the many performers on the show recorded on June 14th and this will be the last time you will see Bekah performing as an After School member as she has recently graduated from the group. Kahi also sizzled in her collaboration stage with Chuli & Miae.

So check out their performances below!

27 June 2011 Seven Female Artists to Keep an Eye on This Summer



With the summer just around the corner, major female artists are returning with new singles. F(x)’s “Hot Summer” and Secret’s “Starlight Moonlight” have already made strides on various music charts, but other female artists are also making, or already made, comebacks to heat up the summer K-Pop scene. We put together seven female artists expected make comebacks this summer. Take a look!



DSP Media released Rainbow’s new track “Sweet Dream” on June 22nd. This dreamy yet sweet pop dance number features Japan’s popular producer Daishi Dance. The members have come up with the “Dragonfly Dance,” where they move with their eyes closed, and so far it’s been well-received by fans.



On June 24th, YG Entertainment’s 2NE1 made their grand return with their new single, “I am the Best.” Produced by Teddy, “I am the Best” is a powerful track with a mixture of electronic and hip-hop, and its popularity so far has been explosive. 2NE1 is expected to release their mini-album in July, so look forward for them to lead the K-Pop trend this summer.



Next up is T-ara who is scheduled to release their new single “Roly Poly” from new album “John Travolta Wannabe” on July 1st. The same producers of their previous hit track “Bo Beep Bo Beep” wrote “Roly Poly,” and it involves retro beats that could appeal to both older and younger generations alike. The choreography is also rumored to involve a lot of retro, old school moves called “Diamond” and “ABC” dances.



And then its 4Minute’s HyunA, who is returning with her second solo track since last year’s “Change.” She’s already one of the sexiest female stars in K-Pop, and with her turning 20 this year, HyunA is expected to put on an even more sensational performance. HyunA’s agency Cube Entertainment will also release a new album for G.Na this summer, so expect two very hot female solo singers to compete for the sexy queen diva spot this summer.



After School is also making a comeback in July. Their latest single “Shampoo” reflected the more mature side of the group, but this time they’re returning with a more unique concept. They will divide into two separate groups and run their own promotions, creating a possible intra-group showdown for the summer.



JYP Entertainment is planning to put out the new album for Miss A in the coming months. The exact date of release is still undecided but they’re reportedly working on a new album for release in the summer. Last year, they made headlines with “Bad Girl Good Girl” in the summer, so their summer return this year is also highly anticipated.

Which of the above artists are you most excited about?
