2009 in 31 Days : Male Idol cursed
#1 Male Idol cursed.
2009 is a bad year for our favourite idols! It breaks my heart to write this post although it's No.1 but I hope I will never write this as no.1 anymore!
DBSK
3 of DBSK members wanted out from SM Entertainment. Hero Jae Joong, Micky Yoo Chun and Xiah JunSu are no longer under SM Entertainment. Tohoshinki fans can breath easily since Tohoshinki has just released a new single! Today they will be attending Kohaku annual event.
2PM
In early 2009, nothing seem to be wrong with 2PM. 2PM has two famous show, two great song and great personality. All good things come to an end so quickly with one dumbbutt search for his old myspace account and revealed Jay past. In the account Jay expresses hatred towards Korea and received a lot of backslash. He decided to leave to Seattle after just only 4 days from the incident. The stupid netizen later apologize but it was too late, Jay's in Seattle.
SuJu
This year we didn't get to see all 13 members on stage at all! 2007 is probably the last time ever we were going to see all 13 members on stage as Han Kyung on the very last minute pull off the same action did by DBSK trio. KangIn is currently banned from doing any SuJu activities due to his DUI and Assault charges. "Sorry Sorry" and "It's You" were a success..too bad things happen to them!

2009 in 31 Days : Year of SNSD
#2 9 Gee Wins!
If 2009 is a lucky year for 9 member SNSD would 2013 be a lucky year for Super Junior?
In 2008, Jewelry won the record of having the most no. win but on 2009 SNSD beat the record by having 9 wins!
Who can complain? everyone know the chorus and the dance! Parodies are LOVE!!
Congrats to the girls! well deserved win!

2009 in 31 Days : Female Domination
#3 Rise of girl groups
Fanboys rejoice! you don't have to cheer to guys only anymore because there's eye candy for you this time! I'mma girl but I like variety!
After a terrible 2008 for SNSD, 2009 made their future brighter. Hits like "Gee" and "Tell me your wish" are great songs of 2009. I'm very sure every comedian plus boy groups did a little parody at least once.
Continuation from 2008, Kara hit it big with their latest album coming out more edgy and sexy. Who can't forget the infectious la la la with buttdance?
Sex sells apparently, my favourite indie had gone to become Idol after becoming sexier! Abracadabra is so porn! I only watched a little.. I like seeing the above video version.. so gay but funny!

2009 in 31 Days : New rise
#4 New Girl groups
Over the past years it's a rare occasion to see girl groups to debut as the achievements are mediocre. S.E.S. and Fin.K.L. are the only groups that could gain success back in the days. However 2009 turned to be a great success for girl groups to debut and noticeable the trend is all about the girls.
2NE1
Hottest Debut, They achieve so much this year you would forget that they just debut this year! CL, Sandara Park, Park Bom and Minzy are set to be better everyday!
4Minute
I am still annoyed by HyunA but I like her! I wish for more exposure for other members! I love their latest single "What a girl want"
f(x)
Love their debut single! So classy and cute! Victoria the leader is the odd one being the only 80's baby.. everyone else is 90's baby with Amber 92, Luna 93 and SulLi with Krystal 94!
HAM (Heart & Mind)
I like the intro until the get to the chorus.. FAIL! one of the member is Chinese I think? wish they got more exposure and better song!
JQT
When I saw their promo picture, I actually like them but I don't know why I have not check their song.. too busy with the boy groups that debut around the same time I guess?
Secret
I'm a fan of Untouchable so I do love this group with Song Ji Eun and Han Seon Hwa in it. Their debut single is catchy! Although debut on the same month with MBLAQ and Beast, I looked forward to this group most!
Rainbow
Hmmm.. I have never ever stop listening to a song before it ended but I don't know why I stopped watching the video halfway! It's just a whole mess! Since it's of the same label with Kara and SS501 I was expecting them to be good! I don't know why these girls seem like a turn off to me! I can watch "Kissing you" and "Pretty girl" a million time but I can't watch this? Probably because their face look too fake.
I think there's more but I only could think of these.. I only like 4 of the listed above.. in order, f(x), 4Minute, 2NE1 and Secret.

2009 in 31 Days : I'm all by myself
#5 GD Solo Debut
Ey yo! finally.. Is this what you've been waiting for?
The main leader of Big Bang finally debut solo! After TaeYang and SeungRi, it's about time for GD! GD stands for G-Dragon as in Ji Yong..geddit? Anyways, our favourite rapper doesn't made our wait wasted because his album is all good!
From his album cover you can expect what you're getting is going to be good! This man is unstoppable from being creative, no doubt since he is also interested in fashion design with him sporting blonde hair that now is currently referred as "GD Style".
His fans are also creative, check it out here
He release 4 creative MV and my favourite would be Butterfly MV!
"if I could do video like that..surprise la!"
Heartbreaker MV
Although the song is said to be plagiarize with Flo rida "right round" it is still very addicting.. Yo my heaaarrtttBreaker!
Breathe showcase that he's no longer a boy.. I hate this kind of thing but it's his way of showing his creativeness.
A boy
I don't like this at all.. but it's still impressive! cute little GD is there too!

2009 in 31 Days : Mr. 70%
#6 Lee Seung Ki brings 70% ratings!
This year is a great year for awkward/helpless SeungKi because he is everywhere! He did modelling, singing, acting and latest, MC!
He starred in one of 2009 best drama,SBS's Shining Inheritance along side with Han Hyo Joo. The drama is said to be a grown-up version of Boys Over Flowers and it's on my list drama to watch! I have watch a few episode but currently my internet is bad so I'll have to wait.
He is one of the cast member of KBS best variety show, 1D2N along with Kang Ho Dong, MC Mong, Eun Ji Won, Lee Su Geun, Kim C and Kim Jong Min. The program shows a new side of the seemingly perfect son in law, that he's just helpless at times!
So how did he bring in 70%? Shining Inheritance and 1D2N are both on the weekend slot and got over 30% rating each. Although the success of the drama could be because of great story and 1D2N is the result of great interaction among members, Lee Seung Ki got more attention for being the one that brought high ratings.
In 1D2N, they joked about Seung Ki should be involved in an accident so he would appear on news and get 100% ratings! LOL He's everywhere but he's just attractive!

2009 in 31 Days : Oh Baby!
#7 Park Ji Hun has a child!
Why am I highlighting Park Ji Hun child when I already written a baby post on the countdown? Plus what's with him being on TOP 10?
Park Ji Hun is a member of 3 member group, V.O.S. (Voice of Soul) and maybe he isn't an idol, news of him having a child is HUGE! He got married and have a child secretly!
So sweet, thank goodness, Kim Kyung Rok is my favorite member not him.. would have been crushed by this story
I have already posted the pictures on July, read here

I couldn't easily confess the truth due to my career as a singer and the fact someone could target my company and group. But as Bitchan's father, I wanted to be supporting husband. I met a new company who warmly embraced me when I revealed my story. They blessed my scared heart and gave me confidence. That is the reason why I am strongly revealing the truth.
I want to reveal the truth to Bitchan's friends that he indeed does have a father and I want to dress the woman who has waited for me for so long in a wedding dress so I could stop sinning.- Park Ji Hun

2009 in 31 Days : American Dreams
#8 Kpop stars rising on West
A continuation from 2008 trend, more Kpop celebrity ventured out to American Market. Asian Power!!! LOL, I'm such an Asian dork.
In music scene
BoA
She got to collaborate with Sean Garrett for "I did it for love" and appeared in MTV but she didn't get much airplays. I like all her songs but I wish she stuck with Korean songs. The above video is "Energetic" MV.
Se7en
I thought "Them Girls" featuring Lil Kim was Hot (and yuck..Lil Kim is just yuck!) but it didn't make Se7en popular..it seem he didn't do anything much in US. The hottest news about him is about his relationship with Park Han Byul.
Wonder Girls
These five member girls, the 1st group from Asia to debut in US are doing great, they enter Billboard charts, Got to toured with Jonas Brothers, Appeared on list in Magazines..I'm excited to see what they're going to do next year. Hopefully Nobody NO MORE!
In acting scene
Daniel Henney
Starred in Wolverine, And acted in "Three rivers"...I'm not a fan of him..don't know why so just check out the video below.. BTW he's half Korean..that's why his name it's like that..
this drama is apparently cancelled..
Lee Byung Hyun
Lee Byung Hyun is very busy this year, I got to know he's good with English! Wow so impress! He starred in G.I. Joe, I'm not a fan of movie so I ask my brother, he said he liked the movie.:D and He also starred in Iris, but that's a different story!
Rain
Of course, who can't forget "Ninja Assassin"? Rain is the main star of this movie and got rave reviews.. I read some of the reviews it's either great or too much blood...LOL but one thing is for sure, HOT BODY!

2009 in 31 Days : And the award goes to...
#9 Mnet Awards: Mnet 20's Choice Award and Mnet Asian Music Awards.
Mnet is a cable channel that brought us two most talk about awards. Be it good or bad headlines, Mnet Awards are popular.
Mnet 20's Choice Awards on August is all about popularity and less controversy. Although there are result I don't agree like "Fire" by 2NE1 won "Hot Online Song Award" when really "Gee" and "Sorry Sorry" deserved it more, it's a good show!
Who can't forget the hot HOT 2PM performance?
PERFECT 10! Okay, would have given more but the girl distract me too much. Not hating her, just jealous of her wokey? Last scene was my favorite because not only it's my favorite 2PM song but the boys just nailed it well! Even the rain can't stop the HOTNESS!
More infos about this award, read here
Mnet Asian Music Awards is a brand new award replacing Mnet Korean Music Festival. Initially I didn't want to watch this show since SM artist is boycotting but I watch it anyway because of Beast! Beast performing "Lies", you bet I am going to watch it! Other than that, I just hate the whole stage.. I like Kara, BEG, 4Minute girls too but it's nothing really stands out. At the moment of the awards was held, I didn't support 6 member group thus I didn't watch their performance.
The awards... Well except for 2NE1 winning newcomer award and GD won Best album, I just can't except the result. I do like 2PM but I thought SNSD deserved it more..Overall the awards is just hate for me.
The one thing I didn't want to watch was DBSK acceptance speech.. I teared so much! I miss them and I hate them.. It's just so sad to see only 3 of them. Hate them for being there, they sort of deserved the award but ughh..I just felt disgusted!

#10 Boys Over Flower
Finally reaching the TOP 10 post! *sigh I should be happy by now but since my projects for college revolves around this topic, I just having flashback of doing the projects!
Boys Over Flower since it's premiere making headlines everyday from lame graphic 3D, cast getting CF offers, injuries, death and also parody!
So here I go again, telling you from the beginning all about Boys Over Flowers.
Boys Over Flowers is the Korean adaptation of "Hana Yori Dango" a Japanese comic (manga) which tells about a poor but high spirited girl named Jandi who got her life dramatically change after getting trouble with F4, four rich and handsome guys. This story has Japanese and Taiwanese drama version, currently Chinese drama version is in the works.

#11 2PM second Comeback
2PM made comeback twice this year, first was with "Again & Again" and "I Hate You" together with JaeBum. The second and still promoting, "Heartbeat".
2PM debuted on 2008 but they didn't really caught my eyes because I didn't like their debut single "10 out of 10" and there's a lot of other debut I like beside them. I have only become their fan after "I Hate You" performance where it was around the time I watch their "Idol Army" shows.
With the Jay controversy going on, it didn't struck me that Jay would leave the group..I still remember the moment reading about him leaving to Seattle, I was waiting for my dad at Wawasan and reading AllKpop through my mobile..until I read about Jay! I was just stunned and quickly sms-ing with mariaeva11 and she confirmed it.. My world just become darker.. :(
I stand by with K-Hottest by not supporting JYP products and when 2PM announced comeback as 6 members, I got furious! Honestly and stuborn, I didn't watch any 2PM performance and MV until the reports of JaeBum sending message to 2PM. When I got to watch the performance and MV with ease, I just half hearted about it.. It makes me sad that they were doing better without Jay.. Don't you all notice that??
When they were promoting Again & Again, for several weeks they didn't get no.1 on charts song.. remember that?? But when they do Heartbeat promotion, instantly they grabbed no.1 spot! I remembered everyone comments when K-hottest didn't want to support Heartbeat. One said it was foolish not to support the other 6 members.. Till today I still don't understand why 2PM had to comeback with 6 members! Seeing 6 member doing great without Jay is just saying that 2PM doesn't need Jay..oh well, no one read this blog anyway...who am I talking to? *sigh
Here, finally posted something related to 2PM after a while.. Heartbeat by 2PM

2009 in 31 Days : Mega Blockbuster!
#12 Iris Drama
When I listed my countdown, I thought by then the drama has already finish and I would know how to write. In Korea the drama has already ended but I am not finished yet on KBS World! So I contemplating whether or not should I read spoilers to write this post. I guess not! I'm not a spoiler giver so I don't want to reveal anything about the drama.
Basically, I'm just going to tell you to watch this drama!
If you're a guy.. gorgeous Kim Tae Hee (Love story in Harvard)is in the drama! I reckon would have watch this anyway because lots of action in this drama anyway!
If you're a girl, Lee Byung Hyun and Choi Seung Hyun (T.O.P.) are freakin hot, Blazin hot! Search the picture on Google! Won't regret! LOL (=^-^=)
And for V.I.P. (Big Bang FC) yes, have to tell you that there's kissing scene! But I'm watching through KBS World..the scene was cut! Lucky my virgin eyes! Hooray!!! (p/s yes, I close my eyes like a baby when TaeYang kiss in his video too!)
WATCH IT!
2009 in 31 Days : Sorry Sorry
#13 Super Junior Comeback!
If you have read this post, this post suppose to be about Iris. Well it's a blunder that I forgot to edit before publishing. SuJu nevertheless deserved to be on the higher rank but no.13 is SuJu forever. :D
Forget all about the recent controversies regarding SuJu..Let's just focus on their fabulous comeback! 2008 is all about their project units but 2009 finally, SuJu is back as one!
Sorry Sorry is one of the best song of 2009! Their concept this time was Boy to become Man. From their outfits to their song, it's just fits them! It was time people take this 13 members group seriously. A lot of people just can't get enough of the song and it proved right with multiple win as "Song of the Week" in Music charts!
All things are not perfect and so was this comeback.. several members didn't get enough parts and KiBum was absent during performance due to acting works (finally I know what was it..JumunJin) and Hee Chul was hurt and unable to perform a lot.
"It's you" is a lot better with members get more lines.. the song is also won several music charts. Though still KiBum absent from performance.
Hopefully one day I got to see all 13 on stage.. Currently it's said the last performance this year will only have 10 or 9 members on stage..it feels so lonely! If you had no idea what's happening to the rest of the members.. here's a recap.
KiBum is currently promoting "Jumunjin" movie, KangIn is baned from attending any schedule resulted from his DUI charges, Han Kyung with contract dispute against SME and Kim Hee Chul on SBS drama "Loving you a thousand times". SuJu M is on hiatus/disbandment. Henry currently promoting together with Zhang Li Yin.
:( When will this drama end? I have no idea.. Prom15e to 13elive our boys ok?
If you have read this post, this post suppose to be about Iris. Well it's a blunder that I forgot to edit before publishing. SuJu nevertheless deserved to be on the higher rank but no.13 is SuJu forever. :D
Forget all about the recent controversies regarding SuJu..Let's just focus on their fabulous comeback! 2008 is all about their project units but 2009 finally, SuJu is back as one!
Sorry Sorry is one of the best song of 2009! Their concept this time was Boy to become Man. From their outfits to their song, it's just fits them! It was time people take this 13 members group seriously. A lot of people just can't get enough of the song and it proved right with multiple win as "Song of the Week" in Music charts!
All things are not perfect and so was this comeback.. several members didn't get enough parts and KiBum was absent during performance due to acting works (finally I know what was it..JumunJin) and Hee Chul was hurt and unable to perform a lot.
"It's you" is a lot better with members get more lines.. the song is also won several music charts. Though still KiBum absent from performance.
Hopefully one day I got to see all 13 on stage.. Currently it's said the last performance this year will only have 10 or 9 members on stage..it feels so lonely! If you had no idea what's happening to the rest of the members.. here's a recap.
KiBum is currently promoting "Jumunjin" movie, KangIn is baned from attending any schedule resulted from his DUI charges, Han Kyung with contract dispute against SME and Kim Hee Chul on SBS drama "Loving you a thousand times". SuJu M is on hiatus/disbandment. Henry currently promoting together with Zhang Li Yin.

2009 in 31 Days : Strong Heart
#14 Kang Shim Jang, New SBS Variety show!
MC-ed by Siberian Wild Tiger, (watch 1D2N) Kang Ho Dong and Mr. 70% (coming up on my countdown soon) Lee Seung Ki. This show just spell E.P.I.C.! From the beginning of the show, part of the content must be on the headlines the next morning!
If you wonder why? It's because of the show concept. The guest of the show has to reveal an interesting secret in order to win "Strong Heart" title. It's no brainer that this show makes it easier for media to write up story because it's real story from the celebrities itself.
Of course if it's all talk nothing else, the show would be boring. Boom is come to the rescue with his very own segment, Boom Academy and BoomGayo!
MUST Watch SHOW!! watch it fast before it get removed.. so many accounts got suspended.. :(

Korean mourn a lot this year too with two former President deaths, Kim Dae Jung and Roh Moo Hyun.
Most Popular drama of 2009, Boys Over Flower got so many love and CURSES.. First there were injuries and one death. Jang Ja Yun, commited suicide due to depression in the middle of filming.
Jang Jin Young lost her battle to cancer. She's a talented actress that is gone too soon, I have not seen her act but I will try to take time. She was honoured in the "Blue Dragon Film Award"*sniff The video below made me teared.. Lee Kwang Ki lost his son due to Sepsis/H1N1 complication. An adorable son..I felt so sorry for Kwang Ki and really like him on Vitamin show..

#17 Military service : enlistment and discharged.
Military service is compulsory to all male Korean to be enlistment after the age of 19, however celebrity are given the chance to push up to the age of 29/30. It's that time of year you will see your favourite stars in buzz short haircut!
Honestly there's a lot got enlist and discharged this year I can't search all of it.. So I'll just list the one's I remember.
Enlist this year
"Air City" drama actor got enlisted this year. He created buzz earlier this year with his unconfirmed relationship with hallyustar Choi Ji Woo (Winter Sonata fame) because of their attempt have a not so secretive date.
1999! Oh No, Our favourite Boomgayo/Boom Academy got enlisted this year too! The MC and parody maker was sent off by famous friends like Super Junior is definitely a lovable character. Two years is a long time but we will wait for you!
One of my favourite drama of 2009 is "Partner". Lee Dong Wook, the main actor enlistment definitely got me sad. Hopefully the two years in military would make him a better person!:D
Member of legendary group ShinHwa, JunJin follows his fellow members Eric and DongWan to military. The singer and entertainer tried to push the enlistment date but atlast got enlisted anyways. 2009 is just full of ups and downs for this man. He got lots of TV Shows, got into a relationship with his WGM partner Lee Si Young but end up broken up.
Epik High resident DeeJay, DJ Tukutz got enlisted as well If I'm not mistaken, he didn't get to witness Tablo wedding. Oh poor thing! Epik High currently taking a break.
I loved him since his Goong days, but I didn't know he supposed to get enlisted this year! Huhuhu I was hoping to see him in the Korean scene instead of in Japan but he did released Korean single this year. He still look mighty cute with those short hair right? :D
As for discharged,
I only know Gong Yoo (Coffee Prince), Chun Jung Myung, Kim Jong Min (Koyote/1D2N) and Kim Tae Woo (Love Rain).
Military service is only for two years and currently I'm waiting for KangTa to comeback.. really want to see him as a part of SMTown badly!

Random talk : Age rank
Age is really important in Korea to determine superiority, it's a rule to called elder person by "Hyung" or "Oppa" and "Unnie" or "Noona". There's two type of Korean way of speaking..formal for elderly and non-formal with friends. Although you're very close with someone older by a year, you are required to use formal unless state you could use informal.. The word "friend" refers to same age.

Promo : Epop (Malay version)
^ New Malay version of Epop Magazine now in stores! Now already in 3rd issue! (Picture taken from google image search)
^ Chinese Version of EpopMalaysian Kpoppers! I guess if you go to the bookstore regularly, you're probably familiar with a Chinese magazine called "Epop". The magazine often features Jpop and Kpop artiste is now available in Malay Version!
I just bought the 3rd issue recently and it's quite up to date! Kpop and Jpop news isn't new in local magazine but this is the 1st one that solely dedicated to Kpop and Jpop. About the Epop, I don't like the design as I find it too messy but it does feel like a fellow Malaysian did the design. Content is good, however as much as I do like Cpop or Taiwan Pop, I don't think they need to be included.
Let me tell you why you should buy it, POSTER! :D Ok, I have complaint though, WHY MUST YOU ADD EPOP LOGO??? AND NOTICE ABOUT NOT FOR SALE?? TOTALLY RUINED THE POSTER!

2009 in 31 Days : To Anyone
#19 YG Rookie, 2NE1
The label that brought us Big Bang. YG announced the female version of Big Bang will debut this year. YG Family fans are excited for a new addition and before debuting the group has already creating buzz from media.
Starting from their group names, initially YG wanted to name them "To Anyone" but unfortunately it's taken, "21" is also taken so hence "2NE1" which kind of sound like "To Anyone". 2NE1 fans are called "Blackjack".
Let me brief a little history about YG Entertainment. YGE is famous for recruiting "ugly" trainees citing talent is their priority rather than looks. For example Big Mama is probably the only group that are a little heavier than average singers. Check out the video below.
As you can see the videos, Pretty faces lip-sync upfront but the real singers are at the back bring a meaning that the industry is all about pretty faces instead of talent. K movies fans might also recognize this kind of scene in "200 Pounds Beauty".
With members like CL (the leader) and Minzy, YG remains the same and no doubt they are talented. (CL and Minzy are more beautiful than me, ok? don't bash me!) CL have an impressive background because she can speak Korean, English, French and Chinese fluently! Did I mention she's superb rapper? Minzy grandmom is a dancer and looks like she inherited it!
V.I.P.s know Park Bom well as she was featured in two Big Bang song, I love her vocals and she's my favourite member! It didn't register to me at first but I realize Bom and Dara are old when compared to Minzy who's ten years younger! 84 Babies are sure talented people eh? Dara, need no introduction is a Star from the Philippines and ever since she arrived in Korea industry, it's obvious she knows how to grab attention!
They debuted by singing a CF song "Lollipop" with Big Bang members and later on release "Fire". 2NE1 finally secures their place in the industry by releasing "I Don't Care".
YG is doing great with girls since 2NE1 as individual is already superb, members did solo works as well
Got lots more to tell and I can go on and on but it's too much work =.= This is just a few highlight only for this year! 2009 looking good for the girls!

2009 in 31 Days : Back to 4Minute!
#20 HyunAh re-debut as 4Minute
Even though Wonder Girls did US debut and also did a tour with Jonas Brothers, I'm still isn't sure about their popularity level! Probably one day I'm going to a survey at college and see how many people actually know Wonder Girls! (dream on!)
Anyway, I'm sure my readers at least know their songs..right? So what's the connection between HyunAh and Wonder Girls? HyunAh used to be a member of Wonder Girls but she left due an illness. I don't blame you if you didn't know HyunAh since she left before Wonder Girls became mega star! You can see her in action in "Irony" MV.
After she left, Wonder Girls take YooBin into the group and release one of 2007 best song, "Tell Me"
HyunAh change label (Cube) and trained about a year before finally debuting this year. Her first appearance since she left Wonder Girls was on AJ "Dancing Shoes" MV and did a featuring with AJ on his mini album as well.
She finally debuted again as a member of 4Minute on June 2009. 4Minute first single gain lots of attention and the single did quite well for a rookie. HyunAh definitely had the most attention not only because her past but because she obviously had more singing part than rest of the members!
Despite being overexposed, she is my favourite member because she has charisma and kindness blend in nicely! HyunAh fighting! :D

Countdown Worthy : Phone!
Two big brands from Korea namely Samsung and LG always come up with not only beautiful handphone design but also creative CF! (commercial film)
The current CF trend is to get singers to endorsed in the CF, in the same time it benefits the singer because the singer can released a single for the phone.
Strictly speaking just about the phones.. I really regret buying Sony Ericsson back in May when I can wait for this..
LG Chocolate endorsed by SNSD and f(x) [Video: snsd version]
LOVE the design very much! It's simple yet so chic! It's black in color but I don't mind at all because just look at the screen size! It's huge! (ok, I might be wrong)I don't fancy touchscreen but it's just looks too good!
Samsung Corby endorsed by 2PM
Forget the boys..(sorry, they just look weird) the phone is so cute! I remember seeing this phone on "You're beautiful" and I thought it's just so cute and colorful! I like the edges being smooth just enhance the phone cuteness!

Forget the boys..(sorry, they just look weird) the phone is so cute! I remember seeing this phone on "You're beautiful" and I thought it's just so cute and colorful! I like the edges being smooth just enhance the phone cuteness!

Countdown Worthy : AJ to be a Beast
AJ was dubbed as the next Rain but he's now known as Lee Ki Kwang, a member of Beast.
I'm a fan of AJ, so hearing him being in a group makes me disappointed as he is the best solo guy newcomer this year!(IMO) However this isn't a new thing, Dana of CSJH also started doing solo career before becoming a CSJH leader.
I wasn't excited for Beast debut but their album is just so good I can't resist. Hopefully Cube will reconsider Lee Ki Kwang to do solo project in the future, I still believe he is capable of being the next Rain.
Here's my favourite single from him.

#22 Member leaves the building.
Just went I thought 2009 had enough of members leaving their groups, another one news just come up today! Seo In Young and Park Jung Ah of Jewelry announce their departure to pursue solo careers!
The most controversial member that left is no doubt Mr. Jay Park of 2PM! The protest regarding him leaving is on going until today. He had people going on streets performing dance mob and it's just amazing how much his influence is. More on him on this countdown! Currently he's in Seattle
F.T. Island Oh Won Bin also shocked the industry when he left the group early this year. Apparently he wants to work solo (yeah, this part I could understand..it's all about HongKi) but so far all he did was doing "You're Beautiful" OST. He recently posted selca (Self-camera) on his mini hompy.
Fans seem to accept SooYoung departure from After School, since her reason is education and health. Smiley SooYoung currently taking a break by travelling places like Australia and Japan.
2009 in 31 Days : New face
#23 New group members!
Back in 2007, E.L.F. (Super Junior's FC) protested "Only 13" and it's not a pretty sight. If you're not a SuJu fan, "Only 13" is a protest about having additional member into SuJu which SuJu M member, Henry was rumored to be joining SuJu. It started when the release of SuJu second album "Don't Don" which Henry was featured as the violinist.
In 2009, thankfully the fans being more kind towards the new member. These new members usually serves as a replacement but I would prefer referring them as new addition.
Early 2009, F.T. Island member, Oh Won Bin withdrew from the group and is replaced by Song Seung Hyun. He wasn't well received at first by Primadonnas (F.T. Island FC) but slowly he gets accepted.
After School would be the latest one to have not only one but TWO new members! Since debut this group just keeps on adding.. They initially start with good ole 5 members but with the second single they decided to add UEE (You're Beautiful Yoo Hee Yi) into the group. With Soo Young left the group last month, it's back to 5 members. However that only happens for a short while when Pledis (AS Label) announce After School will be back with two new members namely Raina and Nana.
Not all group have members leave in order to have a new member, U Kiss welcomes KiSeop a famous internet UllJjang (Best face). Kiseop addition transform UKiss to a new level and it seem fans loving it!

2009 in 31 Days : Star Golden Bell
#24 MC Kim Jae Dong Leaves Star Golden Bell
Star Golden Bell is a game-orientated variety show that features 20 guest (3 permenant guest) that solves games in order to collect money for charities. With a large guest list, often news headlines comes from this show and this makes SGB having a stable ratings.
This show features two MC and one announcer, the role of announcer is often rotated from time to time but the MC role isn't changed too much. On early 2009, MC Ji Seok Jin and Announcer Oh Jung Yeon left SGB. They were replaced by Actress Lee Chae Yeong and Announcer Jeon HyeonMu.
Kim JaeDong is the longest SGB MC of four years. He recently left SGB because of "his long service" but rumor has it that he was deeply disturbed by S.Korea president death and he wasn't the same. KBS (the channel that shows SGB) is under government so they were worried about Kim Jae Dong influence.
Kim Jae Dong is replaced by Ji Seok Jin and we all know it's because you can't find a better MC for SGB than Kim Jae Dong. Bringing Ji Seok Jin back it's not a bad idea but Kim Jae Dong will always be remember as SGB host!
*sigh I really like Kim Jae Dong MC style..

2009 in 31 Days : Unfortunate Events
#25 Celebrity in Accident
I would like to apologize first, I realize it's now 3 times in a row in this countdown that the post is depressing. Right now, I'm tired from writing this kind of post. As I said before, 2009 is a bad year! roughly speaking, I have more sad news than happy ones.

Starting from early of the year, Boys over flower cast seems like being cursed because all five main cast caught in an accident! F4 were caught in a car accident and Goo Hye Sun got her head hurt during filming. Thankfully all cast recovered well.
Latest (hopefully) is Roora member Shin Jung Hwan on a motorcycle accident left him getting surgery. He was also caught in a bicycle accident last year, he really need to take care of himself in the roads!
Our favourite idols also got caught in accidents, Daesung of Big Bang got seriously injured that fractured his nose and Xiah of DBSK got hurt during rehearsal that made him wore the wheelchair. SHINee's leader, Onew also got hurt on Music Bank stage making him faint and limping.

List of celebs caught in car accident but left unhurt
1. BEAST
2. Hwang Bo
3. SNSD
4. Park Hae Jin (Hot Blood Cast)
5. Brown eyed Girls
2009 in 31 Days : Get well soon!
#26 Overwork Celebrity
It still makes me amaze and pity my Idols since the first time I got into Kpop fandom. Celebrity works really hard! During the trainee years, practising from morning to late midnight is normal. Crazy? yup.. but training isn't as hard when you already debuted! Celebrity have lots of schedule, from TV shows, Drama, Radio and Performance. If Hollywood stars say exhaustion, you can pretty much thing it's just an excuse. It's not the same case with Kpop Celeb..sometimes you got to see them faint!
Here's a list of stars got hospitalize from being overwork (not including accidents and H1N1 cases which will be in my next countdown)
1. Baek Ji Young
2. Choi MinHwan of F.T.Island
3. ShinJi of Koyote
4. So Young of After School (left AS for this reason)
5. Tae Yeon of SNSD
6. Ga In of Brown Eyed Girls
7. Ajumma (auntie) Idols, Bae Yong Jun
8. Kim Bum of Boys Over Flowers
and probably more since most celebs prefer not to reveal to the public. Hopefully 2010 won't have much overwork celebs. It's really a pity if they don't get a much money for their workload if the artist are binded with slavery contract.

2009 in 31 Days : Criminal in disguise
#27 Celebrity commit crimes
Celebs often seen as a role model but of course they are not perfect. I don't want to judge them but something you just can't forget.
Anything to do with dead people is scary but what do you think of someone stealing a dead person ashes? CREEPY! Choi Jin Sil ashes was stolen last August by some random stranger, luckily the ashes is returned. May Choi Jin Sil rest in peace.

Joo Ji Hoon of "Goong" (Princess Hours) create a huge surprise in the entertainment industry with him being caught with drug use. In Hollywood it might seen as normal but that's not the case in S.Korea. What made Koreans more agitated was him trying to take an easy way out - suggesting himself to do an early military enlistment instead of heading to jail! Public felt offended by the request since military is a compulsory and it seem Joo Ji Hoon taking military enlistment lightly.

When you're feeling mad, there is a way to channel the emotion elsewhere like for example, I cry when I feel mad. Apparently Shin Hyun Joon prefers using his fist during an arguement with his manager. Fortunately, his manager drop the charges. Maybe because he had apologies publicly..see, saying sorry does work!
Comedian and MC Shin Dong Yup commited fraud, Chocolate E&TF, Shin's management company, stated that they have notified the police of Shin's crime; he allegedly forged his contract with the company in favor of himself. This action is following a civil law suit by De Chocolate against Shin for the same contractual fraud he committed. Shin was to receive approximately $1 million from signing an exclusive contract with De Chocolate, however he forged the contract and changed the amount to $2 million.
I don't think gambling is a serious issue but looks like it is in Korea! Shin Hye Sung of ShinHwa was caught gambling in Macau and been fined W10mil ($8,600) by the judge for his crime. From July 2007 to April 2008, Shin Hye Sung visited Macau five times and spent about W140mil ($120k) in baccarat games. It is said to be a crime even when gambling overseas.
Here's some criminal history of Korean celebrity.

Nothing shock me more than to know about Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo couple! Thank Goodness it's a good surprise! I really like this couple in the drama of "Worlds Within" and it's so cute that they felt the chemistry off-camera! Both equally famous, talented and gorgeous!

Although just revealed this year, this couple have been together for 7 years! Se7en and Park HanByul are in the same label (YG) didn't actually wanted to reveal, rather by accident a picture of them celebrating their anniversary was uploaded.

2009 in 31 Days : Yoon Eun Hye return to TV
#30 Yoon Eun Hye comeback to TV
I always like to add that she shares the same birthday with me! LOL Yoon Eun Hye is no stranger in drama scene but do you know she only have acted in 3 dramas? With her popularity, you might think she has been in the acting scene for a long time. She's lucky (and talented) to have major success with all of her dramas.
She original debuted as a singer with a group called Baby V.O.X. and she's a regular in a variety show called "X Man". Through her stint as a singer and entertainer, she's a crowd favourite because she's really a sweetheart.
With the news surfaces about her comeback drama this year, it created a lot of buzz. In 2008 she took a break from acting but she did quite a lot of CF (Commercial Film). Her fans (like me) anxiously waits for "My Fair Lady" to premiere.
In "My Fair Lady"(aka Taking care of young lady), Yoon Eun Hye potrays Kang Hye Na dubbed as the female version of Goo Jun Pyo of Boys over Flowers. Due to her bubbly sweetheart character in real life, most fans doesn't buy her potrayal of a snobbish character.
I didn't think her acting was bad, it's nice to see her in a different character once in a while. If you have not watch it, view the trailer below.
