SM Wants to Enure Silent Treatment




And this is what SM wants...
Regarding the upcoming SM TOWN Summer Concert to be held at the Seoul Olympic Stadium, SM Entertainment is still considering/discussing/finalizing SNSD's performance. On that day, all performances will be carried out by all singers under SM Entertainment, such as TVXQ!, BoA, Super Junior, SHINee, Cheon Sang Ji Hee The Grace etc.

However, SNSD's situation is different. SM Entertainment is very concerned about what happened during the Dream Concert held on 7 June, when most fans from other fanclubs remained silent and di not clap during SNSD's performance.

At that time, those fans had said that SNSD had shown disregard for their sunbaes such as TVXQ! and SHINHWA when they are on variety shows or radio programmes, thus we cannot support SNSD.

An SM representative mentioned "We have not discussed any possible solutions with CARTEL (made up of TVXQ, Super Junior and SS501 fans), who remained silent during SNSD's performances at Dream concert. After the release of SNSD's apology letter, there are still many people who protested against SNSD via phone calls or emails. However, we cannot leave out SNSD in a concert that is supposed to involve all SM artistes. This dilemma/problem has to be taken into account.

SM Entertainment would either not allow SNSD to perform , or decrease their number of performances, or let SNSD perform/collaborate with TVXQ on the same stage or use other means to allow fans and anti-fans (mainly CARTEL) to resolve their differences.

=For me...I dun want TVXQ to collab with them!!! If the SNSD's male fans dare to stabbed other fans, then they have the courage to stab TVXQ!!! I don't want!!! And NEVER!!!! SNSD's male fans will kill TVXQ!!!

Behind The Dream Concert

The most significant issue on the Dream Concert 2008, which has already been reported in the forum, was the “Silent Treatment” of all the present fan clubs towards SNSD members and fans! For the first time ever in the history of KPOP (as far as we know) all the present fanclubs in the concert boycotted a single group: Girls Generation (SNSD)!


During the SNSD performance, other fanclubs remained silent and turned off their light sticks .. this only left the SNSD fanclub cheering for their group, making SNSD’s official color pink as the only visible color in the stands!

because this is the girl who couldn’t even stop seeking for attention even on the red carpet before the concert that day! appearing in the shortest skirt and making a ridiculous pose, trying to stand out, making you speechless in return!

But NO! It’s not! That is not the ONLY reason!
We are doing a thorough researched based post on the reason’s behind the event shortly! But for now we would like to share insights of noonoo_shoo the person who wrote the lst post’s article on the event. Some like noonoo_shoo believe some of the reasons might lie in the unfair marketing plans of SNSD by SM and such. This is not the only reason but prepares you for what we are going to present you later!
——————————————————————————————–
The dream concert happenings fell into a cycle of things in such a short time, it started off as sheer amusement of the boycotting and silencing of fans, I couldn’t help but laugh ….

Then I saw what SNSD fans did to the Super Junior banner!
During the SuperJunior performance (Before SNSD performance) some number of SNSD fanboys ran toward the Super Junior Banners and ripped them apart, right in front of the ELF and SuperJunior on stage!

Evidence?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ds9sB_K4VY
I guess the fans retaliated because they didn’t want to take things lying down, since their mostly boys it sorta makes sense, although i must add that real men know when to admit defeat and take things on the chin. Yes, they admittedly dampened the celebrations, cos I do really love suju for their passion, for their personalities, dudes entertain me and i like em.

That wasn’t enough I had to go and read the comments on the soompi thread (sometimes i hate soompi for the idiots there) and got bloody pissed off.

This was done because of SNSD, why? Because these girls ARE rookies, they have NO respect for their sunbaes (seniors) they just jump around like their the popular girls in high school. And seriously, does the movie “mean Girls” not pop up when you think of a reality show in their dorms?

There are plenty of reasons WHY fans are so pissed off, because believe it or not idiot soshi fans your so called STARS are riding on their seniors coat-tails of success, where some have worked hard, they have gained without effort. Where some have spent endless hours perfecting routines, perfecting songs, they get number 1 by kissing lollipops. Anything SNSD have “gained” is because of who paved the way ahead of them, and its not like their walking their path, no, their traipsing around all bouncy showing their panties to the world. How are we supposed to respect them, want them to succeed, how can self-respecting fans clap and cheer for them knowing that they’ve been born in to the world of showbiz with silver spoons and bought awards??? its sickening.

Cassiopeias are pissed off for more reasons but they’re mostly pissed due to the fact that most of the attention they are getting is by them associating themselves with the boys, by saying they trained with them, they’re friends, by appearing in Commercials with them, by making them look close and happy. Are they really that close?? my money is on no, actually I take that back, my money is on HELL NO. The Dbsg boys trained immensely hard for years to get where they are, they’re overworked, sleep deprived and are still passionate about what they do. They were taken at the height of their fame and thrown in japan where they became nobodies. They gained so much humility, respect for themselves and fans, experience and wisdom some stars get after decades of work. They built themselves up again even through such hardships and extreme homesickness. Its not difficult to respect them. They’re personalities alone are enough to get them far, but their hard work, passion, talent and perseverance can only make them go farther. Yet, SNSD with no said talent, not much passion, no personality get popular just by being under the same label, training and being put in scandals with them. Piss take, dontchathink?

ELF are angry because of almost the same thing. They have suffered for a long time because of the sub group business, SM doesn’t take them seriously and SNSD instead of getting their own gigs, feed off of their oppas. SUJU took a while to catch on and be seen as such good MCs, DJs and guests, they had to be recognized and accepted in the industry to be where they are. But what happens with SNSD, they just put them in the boiling pot with them, I swear when SNSD came out, i was like what the hell is going on, is SM putting in a buy one group get one free offer on Suju and SNSD??? FAVORITISM IS ONE OF THE LARGEST ISSUES.

also, boybands like SS501 feel the pain of cassi and elf, SS501 had gone through so much only to stay in the industry, a place that you can only make it if you are from SM, JYP or YG~ ok, they can argue but as i said in another post, die hard fans feel for each other, because they know how hard it is to break in to the business for their stars, the difficulty they had to face, the criticism from the public and th harsher criticism from themselves. SO when Tiffany claimed she liked the leader of ss501 before debut, it was almost like, ITS NOT BAD ENOUGH YOUR MOOCHING OFF THE SM BOYS NOW YOU WANT DSP.

Is it so hard to work your ass off to be recognized for your talent, unless of course you don’t have one, then you have to milk other artists on your label and others. they take advantage of other peoples popularity or popular news, Yoona saying Andy was her ideal man when all eyes were on Solbi and Andy as a couple??

Good god realize this, this isn’t just a punch in The Face to your noonas you crazy fanthugs, its a personal insult to the artists and the fans that they got everything from doing and having nothing. I will never respect SNSD unless they spend years working hard in the industry proving their talented, their professional and well-intentioned. And i can rest assured it wont happen, because fame is their only driving power and they will never stop being those stereotyped high school giggly girls that you want to avoid.

Also, SM needs to take note that talent is something a group needs to gain popularity, not just a pair of unseemly legs.
——————————————————————————————-

There are many behind the scene issues of happened at the night of the concert that never got the light of the day through the media coverage! In this post we are trying to bring out points to make you familiar with the reason behind the act as much as possible also a short recap of what went on at the event!

The Dream Concert held on June 7 was delayed for 20 minutes because there were too many fans trying to get in at once.

On this day, there were no security guards and concert organizers to be seen in the stands to ensure the safety and cooperation of fans. There was only supposed to be a crowd of 35,000 concert goers, but 50,000 fans showed up trying to get in. Many were buying expensive tickets that went for $500 or more. This so called ‘Dream Concert’ was set for disaster.

Problems arose when a stadium that only fits 35,000 people tried to accommodate 50,000 instead and fans started fighting for good seats. This was particularly the case when SUJU fans and SNSD fans started pushing and shoving, using violence to get seats - turning the ‘dream’ concert into a nightmare. You can obviously see in the pictures that fans are being pushed off the railings to fall.

However, the very first reports we read on the actual fight between the fanclubs is actually from days before the concert! where SNSD fans been fighting with other fanclubs on the concert message boards! It’s reports that SNSD fans were very rude to the other Fanclubs online and even went as far as telling them to boycott SNSD beforehand because they said SNSD doesn’t need anyone’s support. This may explain the fact when they even initiated the fight during the SuperJunior performance (Before SNSD performance) and some SNSD fanboys ran toward the SuperJunior Banners are ripped off the SUJU banners right in front of the ELF!

"when I saw that video of ELF crying like some animals about to be slaughtered I don’t feel a sh*t for them (I laughed actually). you know why?? because those are the same FC that harassed and in the end caused a girl to commit suicide because of a trivial matter! that should make them cry, not their freaking banners being torn!! Cassiopean are the same! these 2 FC bring bad name to Korean music fans!"

Even thought the “Silence Treatment” was planned a few days ahead …
Evidence?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3C43ziqyW8
we even heard the rumors about it! But SNSD fans kept on adding oil to the fire!

There is also news coming that after the “Silence Treatment” SNSD fans left the stadium when SUJU and DBSK were performing (this was confirmed by many fan accounts … it not a rumour!) only to disturb the other fanclub members. There are many reports of SNSD fanboys threats and physical attacks, stabbing by knife and even rape by to female members of other fanclub!

Fan account: I went with a friend but we sat separately. I’m a Triple but she’s a Cassie. Suddenly I get a call from my friend who was crying and telling me that she was scared. While she was going to the restroom, she saw a Cassie who was being beaten up by boys holding pink balloons…and she told me it was on the level of gang violence. Among the Triples there was also news of being beaten by Soshi fans!

The situation was so frightening that Security asked everyone to walk in pairs!
According to fan accounts, other fan lclub members were beaten up by SNSD fanboys - some had their hair ripped out, raped, stabbed with a knife and had broken legs, and were taken to the hospital.
The news that is being reported now is very minor on these events and they are purposely leaving out these isolated incidents.
Evidence?
http://www.nakorean.com/news/articleVie ... idxno=7898




Here is a pic of a SNSD fan who had a knife with him. It was one of those swiss knives
The deal was that this person was waving around the knife but he took it out of his pocket and was constantly sharpening his knife in front of alarmed Cassie fans he also threatened them to treat them while on the way home!

One girl broke her leg and went to the hospital and told her that she needs crutches for 4 weeks! just because someone pushed her . But luckily, a fellow ELF helped her get out of the stadium as she was limping!
Evidence?



TRANSLATION:

I wasn’t going to post this picture up.
But the Soshi boy-fans…hahahaha… said there was no evidence
I’m wearing crutches..hahahaha…how about this
If you say that I’m still lying, I might as well put up my medical examination
You guys should really keep you integrity…hahahahaha
If I had the heart, I’d like to post my phone number and talk with you via video?
But my cell phone is currently messed up”


Not only the fans but the artists weren’t safe from SNSD fansboys!
There are many reports that SNSD fanboys threatened ELF to rape Kang In and Sung Min from Super Junior! And this is when you have Sung Min writing to the ELF after the concert asking them to support SNSD from now on!

Sung Min's message
o the most lovable angels in the world that made SuJu shine at the Dream Concert…

Did you go back home safely?

I’m not so sure exactly what time it ended because I was too tired…

So please cheer for our SNSD girls from now a lot~

Because we’re SMTOWN!

But if it goes on for too long I’ll quit!!
I wonder if I’ll get scolded? ^^;;
But still… even when I was feeling sick yesterday… it was our SNSD girls that took care of me and worried for me^^

The way they have disrespected their seniors in the past, no wonder they also cheer up on all the stuff their fans did to the other fanclubs!

What Korean Media did instead?
Well SBS edited the whole performance .. made it sound like nothing really went wrong!
They shamelessly added ELF cheering parts to the SNSD performance video to make it sound as if nothing was out of the ordinary!
Evidence?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE7Lpl28JzM
watch how .. around 2:28-2:37 they shamelessly inserted SUJU ballons in the video!

SNSD members were said that cried after they performed. There are reports that Lee Teuk (SuperJunior’s leader) also cried after the Suju performance because some SNSD fans ripped the fan-made Super Junior banner while they were singing, right in front of their eyes!

Yet, it is true that SNSD were booed off the stage!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2kAOwVqNyQ
It is also true that many fanclubs cheered for Wonder Girls when SNSD was performing, which moved a lot of WonderFuls (WonderGirls fanclub)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qcPDy1ShI8
But SBS (If you also look at the WonderGirls performance) edited the audience part as if the whole stadium was dark during their performance as well! It’s true that DBSK fans kept their red lights on only when DBSK performed .. but the exaggeration of the edited versions are beyond one’s comprehension!

. Walking around with a knife, threatening Cassies and ELFs
Why in the world would anyone bring a knife to a concert if he/she didn’t have the purpose to stab someone with it? SNSD fans are a bunch of low-life thugs.

2. After SNSD’s performance, SNSD fans left the stadium in a group
SNSD was rude enough to leave the stadium after the performance of SNSD, deliberately missing out in the performances of DBSK and SUJU. There are many fan accounts that prove unlike what they claim they never cheered for other artists either!

3. ELF (SUJU fan club) attack/battery
The girl in the wheelchair with a broken leg is just one example of SNSD boy fans beating up ELFs. There are currently reports of 3 ELFs who had to be taken to the emergency room.

4. ELF sexual molestation
Actual fan account:
“A friend of mine was taking a long time to comeback from the restroom, so I called her. She picked up the phone and told me that she was in a certain row, naked and crying. She was going to the restroom when a couple guys came up from behind and ripped her clothes and touched her body and took pictures and then left. They looked like high school boys…she says she doesn’t remember anything but that the boys were holding pink balloons.”

5. Cassieopeia (DBSK fan club) attack/battery:
Cassie fan account, personally from the victim:
“I was constantly kicked in the head and was hit by balloons by SNSD fans. I got fed up and told them off “Stop it you bastards”. From that point on they started hitting my head with their fists. I remember exactly, there wasn’t just one person, but 5 or 10 that came to my seat and started beating me. SNSD fan girls were just looking at the scene and giggling….while some fans were so alarmed that they were talking of calling the police. I couldn’t defend myself and just patiently hoped that they would stop. When they left, I went over to the SUJU side to ask my friend for help. She took me to the hospital. When I awoke the next day at 2 in the afternoon, I found myself in a hospital bed with my mother humped over my bed, holding my hand tightly. I have bandages around my head…it seems like my head was ripped open.”

6. Tearing down SUJU and DBSK’s banner
Fans saw SNSD fans ripping the banners for SUJU and DBSK, enraging many fans. And making many more cry!

7. SNSD fans used words that a human should not say to incite other fans
[Warning: This is disturbing!]
SNSD fans were cussing out other groups and saying the following:
“We can kick their stomachs so that they can’t have babies”
“We can just rape the girls”
“Those crazy bastards, if they’re going to do it, they should do it right”
“They’re screaming like crazy bitches”

8. SNSD fans cussed out other singers while they were performing
SNSD fans shouted “bastard”, “bitches”, and “Shut up” when other artists came onto stage. This doesn’t compare to the 10 minute “silent treatment” that SNSD received.

9. Attack/Battery of ELF/ Cassie/ and Triple fan clubs
So far, ELF has reported 3 members who were taken to the hospital; Cassies have 2; while Triples have many injured members.

We will continue to update readers of any incidents that are reported …
But here’s Soyboy’s opinion:

SNSD fans WAKE UP! All of you and SNSD don’t deserve to be in Korea’s music industry. What the hell is this? How could this happen between fanclubs of the same company? You’re finally bringing everyone down. SNSD and their fans are a pretentious bunch of garbage that don’t belong in the spotlight. Even in sports, if a team is playing ugly, against the rules, or just plain being rude, they’re going to get kicked off the field. SNSD and their fans are displaying bad sportsmanship in a competitive arena. It doesn’t matter how talented they are… if they are a bad sport, they need to leave quickly. The Dream concert was supposed to give hope and dreams for young kids just as its name suggests; but instead, it has caused more hurt and pain for many young kids. SNSD and their fans need to APOLOGIZE and BEG FOR THEIR FORGIVENESS!

But in return this is what they (SNSD FANS) will respond you!

TVXQ's Official Web Members Calculation



Tohoshinki's Official web's Members' Calculation

Taken from Tohoshinki OFFICIAL FANCLUB " BIGEAST " which has recently stated their information. Dated August 2008, the OFFICIALLY registered member is MORE that 85.000 people.

From the first time the web is made until now, dated April 01st, 2006 - August 2007 was listed more than 20.000 people.

This year around April, it's around 40.000 and for the recent 4 months, due to the new singles and the A-nation, the member's number is multiplied.

Ps. The Japanese Fans themselves are quite surprised with this number because for those official members, they will have to pay regular annual fee ( 4000 yen ).

JYP's "Pride" 2 PM MV out



JYP has his pride on the line for "2PM", his newest boyband since the days of legendary G.O.D.

2PM finally released their much anticipated single album "Hottest Time of the Day" on August 29. JYP revealed that "this group is my pride and reputation" because 2PM is his newest boyband in 10 years since the creation of G.O.D. The title of their album "Hottest Time of the Day" implies that 2PM will reflect the bussle and activity of mid-day by working hard as a dance group.

2PM's title song is "10 points out of 10". And I definitely give them a perfect score - "10 out of 10" - because this song will be the next sensation Their single album contains 6 tracks, including "Only You" and "Angel". Their title song "10 points out of 10" is a fusion of rock(ish) guitar ripples, electronica, with a hip-pop beat that shows JYP's daring style.

The music video was created by the same producer, Jang Jae Hyuk, that made the MVs for Wonder Girls and Rain. It was set in the new W hotel in Seoul, showing a chic, trendy vibe. The MV is about the 7 guys in 2PM being awe-strucked by a gorgeous lady that walks into the hotel. They give her a "10 out of 10" for her beauty, simultaneously playing out their erotic fantasies. I feel like I lost my innocence while watching the MV and the lyrics are filled with sexual innuendos. JYP has made 7 dandy clones of himself, liberally indulging in voyeurism and self-titillation. And Wonder Girls' Yoobin makes a sexy entrance at the end, looking smoking HOT! 2PM gives Yoobin a "10 out of 10" and I can't agree more...haha. The girl featured in the MV is Gina Choi, who is Yoobin's friend (both met at Good Entertainment before they moved to JYPE together).

2PM will soon join with 2AM to form a mega boyband, known as "One Day".




Track listing:
1. 10 points out of 10
2. Only You
3. Angel
4. 10 points out of 10 (Old school ver.)
5. 10 points out of 10 (Inst.)
6. Only You (Inst.)

1. 10 points out of 10
composed by JYP
A "high energy hybrid" song that combines rock guitar ripples, electronica and a hip-pop beat.

2. Only You
composed by JYP
This is an endearing song about a man remembering his lost love. It showcases an orchestra with an underlying hip-pop rhythm.

3. Angel
composed by Kwon Tae Woon (for The Playdog)
Angel is The Playdog Production piece by Kwon Tae Woon that is another hybrid of electronica synth and strong hip-pop beats. This dance song shows off 2PM's vocals and its cute lyrics highlight the special girl that a guy loves.

Kim Ah Joong Set to Star in "26 Years"



Kim Ah Joong is the actresses that went from extra-large to damn-fine in “200 Pounds Beauty.” Since her break-out performance in that film, Kim Ah Joong hasn’t been seen at all on the big screen and only once on the small screen (cameo appearance in the SBS drama “On Air”). Now Kim Ah Joong is ready to star in her next major project, a film with the working title of “26 Years” (Working Title) … and it’s nothing like “200 Pounds Beauty.”

“26 Years” will be produced by Chungeorahm Films, directed by Hae-yeong Lee (Like A Virgin) and based off of a popular internet comic written by Kang Pool. The story deals with the second generation of victims arising out of the Gwangju Democratization Movement (the 2007 film “May 18” also deals with the Gwangju Uprising). Kim Ah Joong will play a character well versed in competition shooting events (skeet, trap shooting etc). Her dad was killed in the Gwangju Democratization Movement.

Kim Ah Joong’s co-star will be played Seung-beom Ryoo. Ryoo’s character also has ties with the Gwangju Democratization Movement, but he is now a gangster. These two characters then get involved in a plan to assassinate the ex-president of South Korea, Chun Doo-hwan.

Filming for “26 Years” will start in September, with its final release dated slated for sometime in 2009. When the film is released, it will be 29 years since the Gwangju Democratization Movement and the movie makers are discussing whether to change the movie title to “29 Years” in honor of its anniversary.

SHINee Impresses Again On the Radio




SHINee's been getting a lot of attention about their recent radio performance on Shim Shim Tapa Radio. Once again, they impressed a lot of people with their vocal abilities. This time they performed “Love’s Way” from their upcoming album, "The SHINee World," scheduled to be released August 29th. It's another cover song of Force MDs, "Tender Love".

A lot of people have been emailing allkpop about this performance and it seems SHINee is gaining popularity / buzz at the right time. Like usual Taemin doesn't sing much. He just looks around, moves his lips a little, and smiles. Minho too had the same role during the performance.

Nikki: U guys can search for the video on YT.

VIP's come to see E.T.




August 28 saw the VIP preview of the comedy Our School E.T., which opens in wide release on September 11.

The title’s “E.T.” is both a cheeky reference to Spielberg’s extraterrestrial and to the lead character played by funnyman Kim Su-ro, who takes on the role of a not-so-bright physical education teacher. As a result of the growing pressure for students to stress an English-language education, he needs to switch to teaching English (becoming the “E.T.,” or English Teacher). Alas, his limited talents aren’t quite up to the task. But he tries — and what he lacks in brainpower, he makes up in determination.

The cast also features a crop of young actors — Baek Sung-hyun (pictured above, with lead actor Kim Su-ro), Park Bo-young, Lee Min-ho, and Moon Chae-won — as well as veteran comedic actor Lee Han-wee.

There were a slew of familiar faces at the VIP screening, including those of actors Kim Rae-won, Lee Seon-kyun, and Oh Man-seok, as well as recent Olympic gold-medalist swimmer Park Tae-hwan. More beyond the cut.

Here’s the preview, which is in Korean, but worth watching just for the last two lines (preceding them, starting at the 1:57 mark, Lee Han-wee’s character tells Kim Su-ro’s to speak only in English):

Cho Min Ho bumps into DBSK Yun Ho




Gold medalist in Yudo, Choi Min-ho bumped into Dong-bang-shin-ki member, Yunho at a jjim-jil-bang (Korean version of a sauna) after returning from the Beijing Olympics a few days ago. The gold medalist posted up the picture on his Cyworld on August 27th 2008. Netizens are jealous that the gold medalist had a random encounter with the DBSK member.

SHINee Sparkles with More Than 50,000 pre-orders

SHINee's newest album "The SHINee World" contains the title song "You're Like My Oxygen" (remake of "Show the World" by Martin Hedegaard), "Love's Way" - written by Wheesung, and member Jonghyun's solo "Y Si Fuera Ella".

Rain Prouduces Special Comeback Shows with MBC



Singer Rain will take part in producing a special program with MBC to celebrate his return to the K-pop scene. Rain plans to release his much-anticipated special album in October.

The special program featuring Rain is expected to be similar to Seo Taiji's comeback special which was broadcast earlier this month.

The program will last for one hour and will feature live performances and interviews. MBC is currently negotiating with Rain's management agency JTune Entertainment to air the show sometime in October.

Following his performance during the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Rain told Yeonhap News Agency during a phone interview that he is confident about his new album.

Rain, who produced the album himself, said it took a long time for him to prepare and record the album, which is in its final stage of production. The singer added that the special album includes many of the songs he wrote himself and that some of them are in English.

The album will be released all over Asia as well as other countries with a sizeable Asian K-pop market. Rain plans to release a wordwide album early next year following the release of "Ninja Assassin," a Hollywood blockbuster film starring Rain.

Ladies Keeps Their Cool with Samsung



Samsung Electronics unveiled some new appliances at its new-product presentation on August 28 at its headquarters in Seoul. Some of the machines being launched include newfangled washing machines and kimchi refrigerators, which boast the ad-buzzwordy “3E” strategy — or emotion, ecology, and energy saving.

Sounds like pretty mundane business, if not for the appearances of Samsung’s three high-profile brand models: actresses Han Ga-in (who has advertised for Samsung’s kimchi refrigerator), Lee Da-hae (in her third year in the spokesperson gig), and Yoon Eun-hye (which explains the reason for her singing the “Salad song” recently).
