SHINee’s Minho looks warm when he put in his effort (in making the gift). SHINee’s choreographer Shin Jaewon uploaded a picture of the gift Minho gave him through twitter. The pair of track shoes Minho gave him is from a famous sports brand. Black and red, with white in the middle, and it seems like one part is written with the words “Minho”. In response to Minho’s gift, Shin Jaewon wrote “Among the shining friends, the one who is like a flame, I received a gift from him. Showing off!” “Self-made shoes “beatburger”, I like the words and colours very much…but…it will be a pity if I wear it just like that!” showing his gratitude (to Minho). Those who saw this news mentioned “I know he has outer-beauty, didn’t know he has even better inner-beauty” “It’s a really heart-warming gift, I like him even more now”.

110316 The Popular Korean Wave that stem from Musicals (110315)

The Popular Korean Wave that stem from Musicals
(Onew-related parts only)

Lee Sungjin, famous music director for musical, said “recently, many Japanese subtitles have been added to musicals” and mentioned that it’s not just an entertainment purpose but its the fact that his musical works have led a Korean wave trend.

Lee Sungjun said, “I became very close to Junsu, Onew and Kyuhyun after doing musical with them several times. They did a good job. Onew did not just only do well for his musical career, but also is a very attractive person who is so bright and expresses himself precisely.”

Musical Idols’ Acting Skills in comparison with Strong Ticket Power
(Onew-related parts only)

Professionals have chosen idols Kim Junsu, Onew, Kyuhyun and Jay.

Professionals took idol’s potential growth into account and added their hardwork and passion characteristics etc during performances to rank them. Onew received 3 recommendations. One of them was a current professor from an international arts school: “Can see Onew’s determined attitude towards his work, hope he will become the next generation musical star”

110315 Idols in musicals: strong ticket sales, lacking skills

With so many idols in the market dominating the music scene, many idols have expanded their horizons and have taken places in the musical industry. Idols have typically shown great ticket sales power, and over 20 idols have gone into musicals. However, while idols may be able to produce great ticket sales when they star in the musical, not all idols have necessarily been praised for their work.

As they land major roles in musicals, idols undergo close scrutiny from musical critics. Many critics have not been wholly impressed and have not highly praised the idols who came to be musical actors. There has been debate over the idols getting large roles in musicals despite their lack of proven skill. In the last month till March 13th, Kukinews had 11 musical critics and producers assess "musical idols" on their skills in a survey. The grading criteria would be based upon four main categories: singing, acting, marketability, and growing potential. Within each category, two names would be chosen, and the one that came in first would be given three points, and the second two points.

The idols that were chosen to be in the skill category were Taeyeon, J, Kyuhyun, Taeyeon, Onew, and Kim Junsu. The idols chosen were taken based upon ranks. However, some of the respondents turned in a blank paper and flatly claimed that, "None of them has the skill that is worth evaluation."

JYJ's Kim Junsu managed to receive particularly good scores in the marketability and singing ability sector. Professor Jin Jeonghoon of the Chung Kang Culture Industry University said that "Kim Junsu has proven himself through his roles in 'Mozart!' and 'Tears of Heaven' to be a musical star. But, his vocal range is so limited that classic, traditional works will be difficult for him to perform." Besides the critique on the range Kim Junsu has, the professor continued, "His vocalization is also very peculiar, and he lacks in the ability to express the lyrics."

Despite the criticism on vocal range and expression of song, the professor from Dankook University Jin Yunho commented that, "While there are still things lacking at some parts, overall, Kim Junsu's natural talent to rivet the audience's attention to the stage is quite amazing."

Kim Junsu received the vote of six of the people who were surveyed as the idol who has the potential to become the next musical idol star. Wang Yongbeom of the Seoul College of Arts remarked that Kim Junsu "seems to have the potential to be loved by the public in the future, considering how he sold out both the performances of 'Mozart!' and 'Tears of Heaven.' However, as he currently is engaged in other activities, it would be wise for him to choose to do another solid musical performance later on."

A producer who wished to remain anonymous commented that, "Potential growth is all about practice. Even though an idol is an idol singing star, if there is no practice in context of a musical, then that would equivocate to a murky performance by them later on. The main issue that idols have in their way to becoming great musical stars is that the idols are already very busy with their main occupation to focus all that much on practicing for the musical."

While their talents may be in question by the critics of the musical industry, idols that participate in musicals are undoubtedly benefiting the popularity of musicals. More and more foreign tourists from China, Japan and other countries have increased in attendance at musicals where idols perform in.

The fans of the idols that star in musicals are given credit to being the source of the idol's "ticket power." For example, SNSD's Jessica and Taeyeon sold their respective musicals "Legally Blonde" and "Song of The Sun" well enough to break even in ticket sales. While musical idols are still technically labeled as rookies in the musical industry, they receive at least 1.5 times higher a fee than most musical veterans.

Professor Yuri from the Chung Kang Culture Industry University said, "Sometimes idols are appointed roles in musical performances on the basis of trying to get a larger audience rather than in consideration of a good performance of a high caliber, so this could possibly lead to a drop in musical quality that will result, perhaps, in the decline of audience numbers in the future."

Do you think the criticisms of idols starring in musicals is fair? Are idols merely just for show in musicals, or have they in fact earned their roles through their talent?

110314 Korean agencies to hold an emergency meeting on the 14th to discuss Japanese activities

Japan experienced a devastating 8.9-magnitude earthquake on March 11th, which consequently lead to a halt in everyone’s promotional activities. It was recently revealed that Korean entertainment agencies will be holding an emergency meeting with their Japanese counterparts in order to discuss the future of their scheduled activities.


Last weekend, Korean entertainment agencies spent the majority of their time attempting to get in contact with their Japanese labels through SNS in order to check on their wellbeing. However, business discussions will resume on the 14th through that formal meeting.


A representative of SM Entertainment revealed, “We were more concerned with the health of our Japanese employees so we did not discuss any business-related matters.  On the 14th, we will begin meeting and discussing.” The representative went to explain that SNSD is currently scheduled to release ‘Mr. Taxi‘ in April, and SHINee’s Japanese debut was planned for May.


A representative of JYP Entertainment commented, “We have a meeting scheduled for the morning of the 14th.  As the situation is very severe, we will be making a careful decision.“  2PM recently returned to Korea after completing their round of promotions and do not have future Japanese activities scheduled for the time being.  Employees in JYP Japan also made their return to Korea after the earthquake.


A representative of YG Entertainment stated, “We could not get in contact with our Japanese label last weekend so we will be discussing business-related matter on the 14th.”  2NE1 was reported to have returned to Korea on the 12th after going through the earthquake on the 11th.


A representative of Cube Entertainment revealed,  “Our Tokyo label has resumed operation.  We will, however, be discussing the matter further today and finalize a decision within the day.” B2ST is officially scheduled for their debut on the 16th.


Nega Network will also be holding an emergency meeting on the 14th to discuss the Brown Eyed Girls‘ schedule next week, as the girls are currently scheduled for press interviews and other activities.
