Why it’s none other than  Girls Generation member Yuri!

The super flexible singer showed off some impressive yoga skills during a recent filming of the KBS2 variety program “Invincible Youth“. Apparently Yuri’s yoga abilities outshone those of the shows other guests (which included fellow SNSD member Sunny, KARA’s Goo Hara and BEG’s Narsha), none of whom could quite match her flexibility. And no wonder, look at those skills…talk about being multi-talented!

Catch the episode when it airs on November 20th.

Get ready for some new T-ara action.

After the successful promotion with boy group, Supernova, it’s time for these girls to snag some spotlight for just themselves.

Photos from their upcoming new mini-album have been released, although not much else is known about the album at the moment. Also, M-net needs to be more consistent with the English spelling of the group. I know I’m asking too much because it’s so hard for a professional agency to copy and paste the appropriate text, but is it “T-ara” or “Tiara” for crying out loud?

I’m glad that they’ve transferred their style from “T.T.L Time to Listen” to their new album because this look absolutely works for them.I always like it much better when female groups are given cohesive styles rather than just thematic concepts where they all dress alike to perpetuate a harem fantasy *cough* SNSD *cough*.

For now, let’s just enjoy some heavily photoshopped pictures of these girls.

Kang Ji-hwan, who recently starred in the movie ‘My Girlfriend is An Agent’ poses for the upcoming December issue of NYLON magazine. Dressed in casual attire, the photo shoot showed his down-to-earth side. Our personal favorite is the one with him yawning. *imagining sharing the quilt with him*

During the interview with the magazine, the actor was asked about his future plans as an actor to which he replied, “I would like to receive more love from my fans and be a better actor.” Check out the cutie pie below!

This cutie is still on the market.

Lee Min-woo has denied that he is currently in a relationship, and insists that the girl is just a “dong-seng” or younger sister.

Yah right. That’s the usual excuse.

Lee Min-woo went on to explain that the mystery girl is Jee-in’s younger sister and that he only took photos with her because she is a fan. He stated, “She is not my girlfriend. I have not thought about a girlfriend and I don’t have plans for one yet.“

Lee Min-woo did not want the rumors to keep circulating so he addressed it right away.

Sounds plausible, but who knows if he has some other covert lover? Do you think he’s still on the market?

Isn’t “Boys Over Flowers” over?

With the previously released “Boys Over Flower” OST, get ready for the luxury edition to be released on the 19th.

The luxury edition will include the acoustic version of “Because I’m Stupid” by Kim Hyun-Joong, as well as all the music from the drama.

In addition to the music, a 40-page booklet will be included. Maybe shirtless pictures of the F4 boys?

In the meantime, how do you like the acoustic version? Check it out:

The fans are at it again.

In a recent episode of the variety program, “Family Outing,” which featured After School’s UEE and 2NE1’s Sandara Park. While the episode was filled with wacky moments, many fans of Dara were outraged that they didn’t get to see her as much.

From the beginning, UEE more like part of the “family” than Dara. This might be why UEE got more air time. No big deal right? Well, not to Dara’s fans. They were incessant and blamed the show’s creators but more importantly, UEE. Fans argued the regular members showed favoritism towards UEE and purposely did some things that offended Dara. For example, deliberately putting eggs in a soup when they knew Dara couldn’t eat eggs.

Dara’s fans took a great offense to UEE and Family’s Outing creators; they raided UEE’s Cyworld with hateful messages, which then caused her to shut it down.

However, is it really fair to blame UEE for putting eggs in the soup when every line is scripted?

What do you think?

RIP Kim Daul.

Confirmed by her agency, Next, international supermodel Kim Daul was found dead in her Paris apartment the morning of November 19th. The cause of death is uncertain right now, but some sources say that the 20 year-old model had committed suicide.

Kim Daul, if you didn’t know, is a world renowned model who originated from South Korea that has made a name for herself on the runways and in editorial fashion. Her name conjures up notions of her edgy style in the fashion world and bold individualism in the face of conservative criticism.

Kim Daul will surely be missed. Condolescences go out to her family and friends.

Move over Bom and Dara, it’s time for the youngsters to shine.

While 2NE1 may be on a break, these girls are not going to let you forget them anytime soon. 2NE1’s babies Minzy and CL have just released their own duet single. Composed by none other than YG’s Teddy, “Please Don’t Go” is hip hop synthrhythm track. YG Entertainment is doing right with 2NE1 promoting English titled tracks for easy international exposure. While CL and Minzy’s rap stylings are showcased, the track isn’t “hard” and is just a smooth upbeat number.

CL and Minzy will perform a live debut of “Please Don’t Go” at the 2009 MAMA, so you know at least someone is showing up.

Check it out~you feeling it like Park Bom’s “You And I” and Sandara Park’s “Kiss“?

Why? Read on…

On November 17th, Girls Generation’s (SNSD) Jessica was a featured guest on SBS “Strong Heart“. On camera, she confessed to three major mistakes she has made on stage, and offered an official apology towards SNSD leader Tae-yeon.

Jessica talked about the incident during a “Tell Me Your Wish” performance when her shoes flew off. She revealed the time she screamed while performing “Gee” because the firework effects on stage popped too loud. She goes on to mention the faulty lip syncing for a “Way to go!” performance when her part kept repeating due to the damaged track.

Going on to confront Tae-yeon, Jessica revealed that, “When we all sing together, I sometimes don’t sing. When SNSD is on stage, there are solo parts and parts we sing all together. Even if our throats are in bad shape, Tae-yeon and I have to sing loud. This is a secret but sometimes I don’t sing at those moments. I’m sorry to Tae-yeon. I want to officially apologize!“

Oh, Jessica. You need to be more responsible for holding up your end of the bargain; you can’t expect Tae-yeon or the other seven girls to cover your slack.

Watch the clip here:

[ hey, you’re in my frame woman!]

…you gotta rub him the right way. You can always count on G to the D, aka G-dragon to raise the bar for eccentricity. Here we have him posing for Vogue Korea (December 2009 issue) as a flamboyant and outlandish genie. Being the trendsetter that he is we’re not surprised if he comes out with a ready-to-wear version of this.We think this photo shoot is ferocious! *secretly making a wish to genie G-dragon*

[sowaneul marabwa tell me your wish!]

[maybe this turban would go with my new shoes]

It’s Jang Geun-seok (You’re Beautiful)! Seems like Renai-Jang has had the same charm since childhood. Or, is it that he kept his boyish charm?

And, the fake band’s popularity continues to grow…

A.N.JELL, from SBS drama, “You’re Beautiful,” was featured in the current issue (November 6 -19th) of Highcut magazine.

Their onscreen persona has moved off-screen in this photoshoot. Even Park Shin-hye (see below) got into character. It’s like they’re a real band!
