Does SNSD's "The Boys" English Version MV available to your country??

People are anticipating SNSD's album releases as well as the release of their MVs, to the fact that there will be English version of the MV as well.

But due to unknown reasons, SM made the English version of "The Boys" MV unavailable to countries like Philippines, Indonesia, Canada, America and almost like all countries actually. Fans started to complain by writing comments such as "Please unblock the English version", "We want to enjoy English version to!","English version is more useful for America" and so on.

This action is contrary to what they want to appeal to make the girls' promotions reach globally, since English version is made to attract the international market.

Meanwhile, there's no explanation from the agency yet why this sudden action took place.
Let's just continue supporting "The Boys" Korean version for the meantime until they decided to unblock the English one.

Anonymous celebrities being investigated for marijuana usage?

According to a current Korean news article, an anonymous top idol who was caught using marijuana has emerged.

Amidst the current controversy surrounding G-Dragon‘s marijuana case, rumor has it that another top idol from a well-known group was suspected for being involved with marijuana and is currently being investigated. However, results from the investigation have yet to be revealed to the public.

Upon the release of these rumors, representatives of the entertainment industry are paying close attention to further details.

One entertainment representative shared, “Starting from last year, there has been a series of strict marijuana investigations in the entertainment industry.”

One actor, who requested to remain anonymous, shared, “Among celebrities, there have been several stars who have been suspected. They have been examined by investigators and many celebrities are worried that another marijuana case will emerge and make headlines.”

Law enforcement officers who were involved in these investigations were tight lipped as they said, “We will not comment on the issue.”

Due to the immense negative impact on celebrities who are spotlighted by media outlets for marijuana usage, law enforcement officers are taking the matter very cautiously.

Many have voiced their opinions on the matter stating that the marijuana controversies can severely damage the growth of the Hallyu Wave which has been gaining massive attention across the globe.

One Japanese leading magazine publisher announced, “G-Dragon received a marijuana joint given by a fan in a Japanese club. He mistook it as a cigarette and took 2-3 puffs. After the release of this news, the Hallyu movement in Japan has subsided a little. It is possible that the entire Kpop market could face a crisis due to G-Dragon’s marijuana case.”

One entertainment company cautiously shared their thoughts, sayin, “This marijuana controversy can bring out a whole new series of investigations in the industry.”

As of today, several well known public figures have fallen prey to these marijuana investigations.

One example is actor Kim Sung Min who was taken into police custody on December 4, 2010 for possession and usage of methamphetamine and marijuana. While undergoing investigation, the actor revealed, “There are 10 additional entertainers who I know that are involved in illegal drug use and trafficking.”

The most recent example would be G-Dragon who inhaled marijuana in May at a Japanese club. His hair drug test came out to be positive in July for the presence of marijuana. Fortunately his indictment was suspended due to several factors including age, criminal motive, and remorse.

Dating rumors resurface after Jessica & Taecyeon get spotted at a cafe

Dating rumors are swirling once again around 2PM‘s Taecyeon and SNSD‘s Jessica after they were spotted having lunch at a cafe near Dosan Park in Apgujung.

These rumors first surfaced back in October 2010, after SHINee‘s Jonghyun and actress Shin Se Kyung confirmed they were dating. Both SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment quickly denied the rumors that Jessica and Taecyeon were in a relationship.

In July, Taecyeon dodged questions about how he knew Jessica’s phone number; one month later, the two were seen together in Japan. Each time the media brought up relationship speculations, the two denied that they were anything more than just close friends. With this recent spotting, however, netizens are starting to wonder if that’s still the case.

On October 4th, Taecyeon and Jessica were seen having brunch at a cafe for an hour. Though the establishment was full of people, they seemed to not care about the attention they were drawing, opting instead to focus on their conversation.

After their 1-hour brunch, the two left the cafe. In the process, Taecyeon paid the bill and opened the door for Jessica as they were leaving. Then Jessica gave Taecyeon, who doesn’t have a car of his own, a ride to his dorm.

Jessica is currently busy preparing for SNSD’s comeback album (to be released on October 19th), while Taecyeon is in the midst of filming his Japanese drama, “Boku to Star no 99 Nichi“. Their agencies stated, “SNSD and 2PM are very close and they often meet. It seems the two have had a meal together when both their schedules were free.”

Leeteuk and Kang Sora began filming for ‘We Got Married’?

Although the PDs of MBC‘s ‘We Got Married‘ vehemently denied that Super Junior‘s Leeteuk and actress Kang Sora were the show’s new couple, an increasing amount of evidence is starting to prove otherwise.

On October 6th, the two were spotted filming together at the Kimhae Airport in Busan, confirming many theories that the two were indeed the new couple. Previously on October 1st, the show released a preview that showed the bottom half of a woman’s face, and fans speculated that the lips matched Kang Sora’s.

Kang Sora hit jackpot earlier this year with her movie, “Sunny“, and is currently starring in KBS’s daily drama, “Women of Our Home“.

SNSD’s comeback causes a delay in the comeback of other artists

SNSD’s delayed comeback didn’t just upset fans; it’s also thrown the comeback plans of other artists into complete disarray.

Many had planned their comeback dates to avoid being overshadowed by SNSD, but now that the date’s up in the air, they all confessed that they have to re-adjust their schedules.

A representative of one artist who was originally scheduled to make a comeback at the end of this month said, “With SNSD suddenly delaying their comeback, we’re all worried about whether it will overlap with ours. It’s more beneficial for us on the digital charts, and gives us the chance to make headlines if there was a two week gap between their comeback and ours. It seems we’ll just have to set another date.”

Another representative added, “SNSD has made a lot of achievements overseas, and since it’s their first Korean comeback in a while, they will surely gain a lot of headlines. We’re trying to set a comeback date away from theirs, so we’re all keeping our ears open for a final date.”

There are rumors that SNSD has set their comeback for the third week of October, but SM Entertainment has yet to confirm. All of their interviews and comeback stages originally scheduled for the first week of October have been postponed.

KARA's "STEP" Plagiarized??

Girl group Kara just released their new single "Step" and now making a sound on music charts. However, it also suspected of plagiarism at the same time.

On midnight of the 6th, Kara revealed their comeback track "Step" after 10 months. After having some conflicts between their agency earlier this year, Kara finally released the song showing the members' impressive enthusiasm.

However, some netizens were suspecting "Step" of plagiarizing the song from American singer Joan Osborne titled "One of us". The combined music videos of the two songs are floating around in the internet. They claimed that the two songs have the same melodies.

This is not the first time Kara received plagiarism allegations. Early last year, their hit single "Lupin" also involved in this kind of controversy. However, the "Step" plagiarism issue seems to end up soon. One expert said, "To constitute plagiarism, a song should contains same few lyrics and similar rhythm." He added, "Although it sounds similar, it doesn't comprehend plagiarism."


*I dont find any similarities between the two. Or maybe there's a remix version of "One of us". You guys better decide!
