[News] B2ST's Hyunseung and Junhyung to give fans a rare sighting of their aegyo on 'Weekly Idol'

B2ST's Hyunseung and Junhyung attempted aegyo, much to the embarrassment of their members.

On the upcoming August 28th broadcast of MBC Every1's 'Weekly Idol', MC Jung Hyun Don got the two members who normally show the least aegyo to give fans what they want.

Hyunseung shared, "I am in charge of the charisma in the team... I've never shown my aegyo since my debut", to which MC Jung Hyung Don spoke on behalf of fans, adding, "The fans want to see you do it."

Junghyung also couldn't control his laughter while carrying out his own aegyo, leading the members to cover their faces from the extreme awkwardness.

It seems like an B2UTYs wouldn't want to miss out on so catch the upcoming broadcast later today (28th at 6 PM KST)!

Three Ways K-Pop Celebrities Deal With Trolls Three Ways Celebrities Deal With Trolls

How do they deal with the hate from the haters?

Celebrities get a lot of love from their fans. Sometimes, the love is inappropriately expressed and cause awkward situations that leave the celebrities scratching their head in confusion. The superstars sometimes receive the adorning of their fans to the point of exhaustion – yet love and adoration isn’t the only kind of attention that they get. They receive countless hate mails and messages from the anti (anti-fans, trolls) whose intent is to hurt the celebrities targeted. One might say that all celebrities are destined for both love and hate.

Then how do the celebrities deal with the anti-fans? It really divides into three types of response.

The first response is “ignoring.” Some celebrities choose to completely ignore social media and the Internet. It might be the wisest option of the three – if only it was possible – because there really is no way of getting hurt if there is no way of accessing the hurtful messages. The problem is that most celebrities are driven by curiosity as to the public’s opinion about themselves. This response is usually suggested to the celebrity by the management company, since it really goes against the celebrity’s desire to access social media for a self-gauge.

One management company employee commented: “When a celebrity member of our company is wrapped in a scandal we recommend that they completely shut themselves out of the internet and news media. Most celebrities take each and every criticism to heart and have a hard time dealing with mass hatred.” He added, “There is no way to completely avoid those things, but it’s the best method for them and for us, the company, in dealing with the matter.”

The second response is “colliding head-on.” Some celebrities read every negative comment from the anti-fans and publish a well-informed and thought-out response. They tend to write sincere letters from the heart, relieving the stress of being silent about the matter at hand. They usually communicate via an alias.

These responses are also sometimes followed by asking the court for an injunction or a cyber restraining order against the matter discussed. Anti-fans are made aware of potential fine and jail time that will come with each negative comment. They are often successful at deterring negative comments.

The third response is “enjoying.” All attention, both bad and good, is enjoyed by some celebrities who maintain that “all publicity is good publicity.” Of course, it is never a good feeling to be publicly called out in hatred, but some celebrities have the well-mannered nature to laugh it off and take it in stride, saying that they would rather be hated than be forgotten.

This is why sometimes negative comments and anti-fans and trolls are seen as a possible “noise marketing” tactic for management companies. Some rookie celebrities are known to gain fame and attention by drawing negative responses from the Korean public. Many management companies are constantly looking for something to make an issue of, often tapping into their friends and partners inside the newsrooms to stir up the pot of fortune for the newest up and coming artist.

Korean pop stars and their hairstyles love doing crazy things to their hair. They’ve corn-rowed, curled, straightened, chopped off, crimped, puffed, braided, and dyed the heck out of their heads. Sometimes I do wonder how damaged some of these K-pop stars and their hair must be. Some K-pop artists keep it at bay and usually the farthest they will go is dye their hair a platinum blonde or a red robin red, but the ones with a little adventure in them go the extra mile and dye their hair colors you find in a rainbow cake or in a Crayola box. Let’s take a look at the best and craziest multi-colored dos yet!

SNSD’s Hyoyeon looks immaculate and insanely hot with this multi-colored hair do. I mean she looks absolutely flawless and stunning! Forget all other hair colors, she should be re-dyeing to this color every month. The colors bring out her features beautifully and she’s never looked better!

Forget Brunettes, Blondies, and Redheads: K-pop's Craziest Hair Colors

G-Dragon is the original innovator for all crazy hair color styles. He’s rocked every single color you can imagine and he looks good in every single one. Have you met anyone who looks flawless as a pink-head and as an orange-head? Yeah, only G-Dragon and he makes pink look sleek and chic.

Forget Brunettes, Blondies, and Redheads: K-pop's Craziest Hair Colors

Sunmi’s new pink/purplish look is mature, sexy, and just the right amount of subtle that makes her look sexy yet innocent.

Fantasy K-Pop Collab: 2AM + Boyz II Men

Fantasy K-Pop Collab: 2AM + Boyz II Men 2AM + Boyz II Men

With KCON 2013 coming up in less than a week, the US entertainment industry has their sights set on K-Pop and the vast array of talent that will soon grace Los Angeles.

The all-star lineup for the convention-ending concert and first-ever US taping of M! Countdown made headlines across the country, especially following the announcement that hip-hop legend Missy Elliot will be taking the stage alongside some of Korea’s finest performers.

With this year’s KCON drawing so much international attention, and more and more collaborations between Korean and American artists becoming a reality, Fantasy K-Pop Collab is beginning to seem like less of a fantasy and more like a dream come true.

One of the hottest acts planning on appearing at KCON is 2AM, the four-member R&B ballad group under the tutelage of JYP Entertainment CEO and K-Pop mastermind Park Jin Young.

With an exceptional grasp on harmony and more passion and conviction in their voices than most singers their age, a natural pairing for a potential collaboration would be iconic American pop vocal group Boyz II Men.

Since their debut in 2008, 2AM has set themselves apart from other idol groups in the K-Pop scene.Without the flashy dance numbers, eccentric style, or near-pornographic imagery, 2AM excel at making their music the focal point of their performance.

They deliver lyrics with poise and conviction and separate themselves from the rest of the herd with their incredible vocal talents.

At over 20 years in the biz, the (now) three members of Boyz II Men have continued to prove that smooth, soulful singing will never go out of style.

The record-breaking group is credited with bringing R&B back into the mainstream and have been praised time and time again for their harmonies and voice control.

While now down to three members after the 2003 departure of bass singer Michael McCary, Boyz II Men have managed to keep their music relevant and modern in the ever-changing pop industry.

Currently a part of the Package Tour, which puts the group on the same stage as other notable boy bands of yore the New Kids on the Block and 98 Degrees, Boyz II Men have found a whole new generation of fans.

In March 2014 they will begin a solo stint at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas – a perfect platform for collaboration.

Because both 2AM and Boyz II Men have continuously been applauded for their vocal performances, a live setting is undoubtedly best for any sort of collaborative project.

In an ideal world, for a segment of their time in Las Vegas, wouldn’t it be wonderful to see a package deal?A week-long set of shows where 2AM and Boyz II Men share the stage, bringing in a diverse crowd of music lovers of all ages, shapes, and sizes.

They could each have their own sets then come together for songs here and there (old Boyz II Men hits and/or classic R&B cover songs).And just imagine the harmonies that could be achieved with all seven singers partaking in the same song together.

A concert lineup like that would certainly draw in crowds from all over the country, and possibly the world.

Marg Helgenberger CSI Last Episode Still To Come; Returns for Show’s 300th Episode To Solve Cold Case Marg Helgenberger

Marg Helgenberger of CSI taped her last episode in the middle of season 12, amid bargaining and season changes. “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” is bringing Marg Helgenberger back for a huge milestone for the popular series. Marg Helgenberger will return to the CSI for its 300th episode.

The network said Marg Helgenberger will return to CSI as her original character, forensic scientist Catherine Willows, to help the CSI team break a cold case that has had them baffled for more than 10 years.

According to CBS, Marg Helgenberger’s CSI episode will have the team probing a murder in the home of a former casino mogul who has gone into seclusions. The CSI team considered him a suspect in a similar crime in 2000.

Marg Helgenberger’s CSI last episode happened last year after “CSI” had been on the air for twelve season. Marg Helgenberger CSI Last Episode aired on Jan. 25, 2012 and was titled “Willows in the Wind.”

Marg Helgenberger was one of CSI’s original stars.

Don McGill, executive producer of CSI, said “We were just really excited to have Marg come back because, obviously, she’s such an important part of the history of CSI. And she was super excited. It was kismet!”

McGill said The CSI episode will focus on a cold case that “takes our characters back to the beginning. They have to investigate a murder with the same M.O. and the same suspect from 14 years ago.”

Marg Helgenberger’s CSI will happen partially in flashback. McGill explained “We will flash back 14 years to seminal moments that show Catherine, Nick (George Eads), Sara (Jorja Fox), Greg (Eric Szmanda) and Ecklie (Marc Vann) as they were, [and how that] informed the evolution of the characters now. It’s going to be a really fun episode, very emotional, that honors 14 years of CSI.”

“CSI” will return for its 14th season on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 10 p.m. ET. The Marg Helgenberger-starring 300th episode will air Oct. 23.

JYJ Will Not Perform At Incheon Korea Music Wave 2013 Due ‘Conflicts Between Management Companies’ According To Event Organizers

JYJ, Incheon Korea Music Wave 2013

JYJ Will Not Perform At Incheon Korea Music Wave 2013 Due 'Conflicts Between Management Companies' According To Event Organizers "Our city has discussed with the related agency about JYJ's appearance on the event," read a Twitter post from the Incheon Korea Music Wave 2013 organizers on Tuesday.

The Incheon Development and Tourism Committee announced today that K-pop trio JYJ, the official ambassadors for the 2014 Incheon Asia Games, will not perform at the Incheon Korea Music Wave 2013 concert due to conflicts between management companies.

“Our city has discussed with the related agency about JYJ’s appearance on the event,” read a Twitter post from the Incheon Korea Music Wave 2013 organizers on Tuesday.

“Unfortunately, JYJ couldn’t join this time due to conflict of interest between entertainment management companies. We plan to have JYJ included in the future events hosted by the 2014 Incheon Asian Games Organizing Committee and its overseas promotions.”

Earlier this month, Song Young Gil, the mayor of the city of Incheon, tweeted that as much as he would like JYJ to perform, South Korea’s Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) has control over who performs at Incheon Korea Music Wave 2013.

“I also want JYJ to perform, but I heard from the Development and Tourism Committee that the lineup is decided by MBC, who are the producers,” Song wrote on August 7.

The mayor promised to look into JYJ’s exclusion from the event, which is being held at the at Incheon Munhak World Cup Stadium in Incheon, South Korea on September 1, with the Development and Tourism Committee and the Asian Games Organizing Committee.

The bill at Incheon Korea Music Wave 2013 is a virtual who’s who of K-pop boy bands and girl groups, with 20 acts including 2AM, A-JAX, B.A.P, BTOB, EXO, F.T. Island, miss A, ZE:A, Girl’s Day, BTS, BEAST, Boyfriend, Girls’ Generation, Super Junior, SECRET, SISTAR, MBLAQ, KARA, T-ara, and TEEN TOP.

On August 6, a representative from JYJ’s record label C-JeS Entertainment remained optimistic that the Tourism Committee would change their mind.

“Instead of making rash decisions, we’ll be waiting for the organizing committee’s final position,” the C-JeS rep said.

“We have recently made a formal objection on the matter. The committee had misunderstood because the Incheon Development had told them and Tourism Committee that JYJ had rejected the offer. We straightened out misunderstandings and said that we were never even asked.”

The rep pointed out the fact that the Incheon Development and Tourism Committee is planning on rolling out a major promotional campaign featuring JYJ in September.

Super Junior's Kyuhyun And SeeYa's Kim Yeon Ji Receiving College Degrees This Week Kyuhyun of the 12-member K-pop boy band Super Junior (pictured) and Kim Yeon Ji of the South Korean girl group SeeYa, who disbanded in 2011, will both be receiving degrees from Kyung Hee University's Department of Post Modern Music. Super Junior's Kyuhyun And SeeYa's Kim Yeon Ji Receiving College Degrees This Week Kyuhyun of the 12-member K-pop boy band Super Junior and Kim Yeon Ji(pictured)of the South Korean girl group SeeYa, who disbanded in 2011, will both be receiving degrees from Kyung Hee University's Department of Post Modern Music.

When the class of 2013 at South Korea’s Kyung Hee University holds their graduation ceremony on Wednesday, two of the students accepting degrees may have a leg up on other members of the music department, when it comes to creating a career in their selected field.

Kyuhyun of the 12-member K-pop boy band Super Junior and Kim Yeon Ji of the South Korean girl group SeeYa, who disbanded in 2011, will both be receiving degrees from Kyung Hee University’s Department of Post Modern Music.

Kyuhyun claims the time he spent enrolled in the university meant more because he didn’t use his celebrity status to get accepted.

“If I entered college with special admission as a celebrity, I could’ve attended school comfortably,” Kyuhyun said, according to the website allkpop.

“However, I passed the national college entrance exam and got accepted into the school with difficulty, so I have a lot of attachment to it.”

The 25-year-old Super Junior singer, whose real name is Cho Kyu Hyun, described his college experience as rewarding.

“If I had a class, I would sleep over my friend’s house near the school and attend the class in the morning and study at night,” Kyuhyun recalled.

“As I attended school, I learned a lot, and my studies became a big help to my career as an artist. I can breathe a sigh of relief once I graduate, but it’s sad that I would have to leave my classmates who always helped me out.”

But the star won’t be leaving those Kyung Hee University pals just yet. Kyuhyun will reportedly begin graduate school there next month.

Meanwhile, the singer’s Super Junior bandmate Kangin opened up in the most recent issue of the magazine ARENA HOMME+, on newsstands this week, about not quite feeling his age.

“I thought I would become an adult when I turned 30, but it feels like I’m still a 20-year-old boy,” Kangin said. ”I try to be more careful when I say or act something,”

Last week, Super Junior performed a 27-song set for 30,000 fans at Taiwan’s Taipei Arena, including the group’s hits “Sorry Sorry”, “BONAMANA”, “Mr. Simple” and “Sexy, Free & Single.”

The band’s Chinese subgroup Super Junior-M also performed.

Super Junior has held the number one spot on Taiwan’s KKBOX music chart for more than two-and-a-half years.
