Well if you’re in Los Angeles that is.

After hanging out in Seattle and NY, it’s about time Crown J made his way to LA. The ‘We Got Married’ reality star/K-Hiphop artist will be performing at one of the newest and hottest clubs in LA, Club Nokia, located right next to the Staples Center. Tickets have already gone on sale and will start at $20 a pop pre-sale or $30 at the door for general admission. Those that have a few bucks to spare though, should just go ahead and purchase VIP tickets for $40 pre-sale or $50 at the door, to enjoy VIP admission and a chance to hang out with Crown J himself. It looks like the $40 tickets will also buy you a free Crown J t-shirt.

For those of you that need more than Crown J to bring you out to Club Nokia, special guests Surrilla, Tier2 and 3Strykes will also be present at the event.

Tickets for the event are available for pre-sale through the Entitled website.

Alert POPSEOULers have informed us that Crown J, the ex-star of “We’re Married,” was spotted in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 31^st at new “B” noraebang and Le Cercle club. The rapper turned reality actor dissed several fans who recognized him by covering their camera with his hand as well as giving attitude with his sunglasses at night.

What’s with the attitude? Doesn’t the B-list star realize that it’s the fans who made him?

And where was Suh In-young?

With the much talked about announcement of their separation in newspapers in December, fans of Suh In-young and Crown J anticipated their final episode on MBC’s “We Got Married” (WGM) which aired January 18, 2009.

Departing in their own “style” aka the “cool style”, the Ant couple did many random events for each other such as the  “Thank You” Video, the 321 Red Roses, and the “One Missing Shoe.” These were the top 3 little events that the netizens are still gushing over.  In particular,  the shoe event has added fuel to the rumor that they are secretly dating and will probably rendezvous in the States.

With probably the highest ratings since the departure of most of the original cast, this final couple’s departure marks the official beginning of season 2 of WGM with the new couples being Dog Poo Couple/R&B Couple: Hwanhee and Hwayobi, Model Couple: Marco and Son Dambi, Campus Couple (CC): Kangin and Lee Yoon-ji, and the newest addition of the yet to be titled couple Jung Hyung -don and Tae Yeon.

Also, a New Year’s special, airing on January 25, 2009, is planned where along with the introduction of the DonYeon couple, the JunJin and Lee Si Young couple as well as the Shin Sung-rok and Kim Shin-young . The couples will be featured on the one episode only. Most likely, the show’s producers probably want to gauge the audience’s reaction to the new couples.

Who would you pick?

The departure of Andy and Solbi triggered the downward spiral of ratings for TV show, “We got married.”

Even with the inclusion of new couples, Hwanhee and Hwayobi as well as Marco and Son Dambi, the lack of chemistry wasn’t enough to spark life back into the show.

Now the re-announcement of Alex and Shinae’s departure due to “busy schedules,” is the end near for this popular show?

Viewers were first drawn to the cheesy show because of the distinctive characters and relatable nature of each couple to their own personal lives. For example:

The Cute couple, Andy and Solbi, who do all the cutesy activities most newly weds typically do

The Ant Couple, Crown J and Suh In Young, who bicker a lot but still make up in the end

The Ssang Chu (Lettuce) Couple, Hwang Bo and Hyun Joong, the awkward couple with the age gap

The Romantic Couple, Alex and Shinae, the couple with the relationship every girl dreams of having

But now with the loss of two of its main couples plus the impending departure of the Ssang Chu couple due to Hyun Joong’s involvement in the drama “Boys over Flowers“, will this show really be worth watching anymore?

The show’s producers seemed to have foreseen these problems and have tried their best to resuscitate life back into the show by doing the things that failing shows do:

1. Change the set
In the beginning, there was a basic set up of the MCs standing in the middle and the couples were placed around a cute garden table. But now, the set has changed into a serious panel discussion with a single long table seating everyone.

2. Include other stars with mass fan bases.
Thus far, WGM has included Super Junior’s Lee Teuk and Eunhyuk as well as the SS501’s Kyu Jong and Hyung Joon and Wondergirls‘ Yubin and Ye Eun.

Yet, even with all this, is it possible for the show to survive or will it share the fate of many other popular shows like Xman and Loveletter?

We don’t think so….

Yes, Halloween is right around the corner. And for all those procrastinators out there who haven’t thought of a Halloween costume yet, we are here to help.

Check out the tasty Halloween costumes that will make you the life of the party.

Campus couple

Costume requirements: Easy

So you have a bf or gf and don’t know what to wear? Why not wear the same outfit from head to toe like Jo In-sung and Sung Yuri. If someone asks, tell them you are a “couple from Korea”. Simple.

Idol group

Costume requirements: Medium

Have you always wanted to be an idol star with adoring fans who massage your butt? Well it’s not that difficult. All you have to do is to round up everyone you know (girls or boy). If you want to be this year’s hottest acts, SHINee or the Wondergirls, take note of the following costume guidelines:

SHINee
Two things: slim pants and bowl cuts. The pants must be pastel and must be tight enough squish your internal organs together. Also, can’t forget the bowl cut – a sign that you are “hip and happening.” And for the finishing touch, wear crazy fluorescent colored shoes. Oh, and you don’t have to be a guy…girls are ok too.

Wondergirls
To be the Wondergirls, you must have 4 other friends who look the same (not difficult if you had the same nose job, eye folds, and shaved jaw). Next, dig out all the leopard print from the back of your closet and wear it any which way you want, paired with jewel colored stockings. If you want to stand out, remember to wear a diaper, like Sohee (in chic leopard print, of course!) Also, choose someone you don’t like to wear the uglier version of the outfit (every group has one). Voila, you now have the look from the “So Hot” album. As an added bonus, find a random gorilla to play JYP!

Ant couple: Suh In-young and Crown J

Costume requirements: Easy

Going trick-or-treating as couple? Then you should try going as ”We Got Married!”’s favorite couple, Seo In-Young and Crown J!

Ladies, cut your hair into a bowlcut (if you have one already- bonus!) and put on the most ridiculously skanky outfit you can find in your closet. After that, all you have to do is hit, embarrass and boss around your boyfriend like you are his mother. Oh and whine in a nasally voice….that’s it!

Guys, dress as “gangsta” as possible by wear a baseball cap, repeatedly yelling out, “L.A.” but somehow mysteriously represent Atlanta, and screaming “A!” with your fingers in an upside-down ‘V’ every time your girlfriend screams at you.

G-Dragon (Big Bang)

Costume requirements: Easy

To be like Mr. fashonista himself, G-dragon, the possibilities are endless. The easiest costume is just pretend you are a girl (check above). Wear dark eyeliner, get a few tattoos on your skinny forearms, wear t-shirts that say “I love sex” or wear all black with or without a fur cap.

Jae-joong (Dong-bang-shin-ki)

Costume requirements: Easy

If you are fortunate enough to have a concave chest, then take advantage of it! It’s super duper easy to be a member of idol group, Dong-bang-shin-ki with 800,000 fans! just open your shirt to expose your belly button, throw on a few thin chains, place one hand in your pant pocket (to look cool) and voila! Get ready for the mobs of girls chasing you down and calling out “oppa!”

Who knew they would look so good together.

Crown J and Hwangbo from “We Got Married” got together for a good cause for the “FUBU Creative Festival” on October 27th. Dressed in similar outfits and doing the same poses, the two pop acts can actually pass off as a real true-blue couple!

If so, maybe Suh In-Young should pair up with Kim Hyun-Joon instead??

What happened? Did Crown J finally reject Suh In-young by giving her the “talk to the hand” signal?

Nah. The hand is part of the attitude required for the “Bad man, bad woman” concept of the latest photoshoot featuring the T.V. couple from the popular show, “We’re Married.” The pair will be featured in the advertorial for Armani Exchange in the October 2008 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine (Korea).

Have you ever wondered what the offspring of the “We’re married” couples looked like?

Well, we haven’t.

But just in case you did, MBC did a Chuseok special on September 14th where they revealed the digital progeny of the popular television couples.

Check out the sons and daughters of couples (from top to bottom) Alex and Shin Ae, Andy and Solbi, Crown J and Suh In-young, and, Kim Hyun-joong and Hwang Bo.

Who is the cutest of them all?

The awards given out at the 2^nd Mnet 20’s Choice Awards on August 23^rd 2008 were tabulated democratically by popular vote, but the results say otherwise.

An industry insider told us that the award shows are not democratic but are the result of deal making by music industry executives. If this is true, then we know why Park Yong-ha was picked as “Hot Global Star.” Who is he? Fellow nominees, Rain, Dong-bang-shin-ki or even the sexy Song Seung-heon are more widely known stars. And what’s with “Hot School girl” category? That doesn’t sound right. And is there an age limit on this? This one smells like it was made specifically for Sohee. And lastly, the “popular vote” for the “Hot issue maker” should be the President of the Republic of Korea, Lee Myung-bak, not U.S. beef, for being wooed by the U.S. government on the golf course and then hastily signing the U.S. import beef agreement without consulting his government.

The blue carpet at the 2^nd Mnet 20’s Choice Awards on August 23rd 2008 was nothing to rave about. If anything, the fashions were either seasonally inappropriate (hello Big Bang) or just plain ol tacky (hello Suh In-young). Otherwise, check out the rest of the styles on the blue carpet.

Big Bang. Fur in the middle of summer? Where is PETA when you need them?

Choi Minsuh & Park Shi-hoo. Ms Choi’s dress is a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. One small tug and she’ll be exposing nothing.

Choi Yeo-jin strikes a pose.

Crown J also strikes a pose. Where is his woman?

DJ Koo & Hana are green.  Can you tell I have nothing to say?

Infinity Girls all clash.

Jun Jin is starting to scare me. He is looking more and more plastic. Maybe it’s the heavy makeup?

Kim Daul is a model but should learn how to strike a better pose (below)

Kim Na-young has long legs and wants to show them off.

Lee Yoonji thinks she is Mulan. Nice try.

Lim So-young could have stitched together this linen dress herself. One pull on a random thread, and the dress will unravel.

Mighty Mouth and Park Ji-sun. Ms Park can’t believe she is hanging out with hunky boys.

SHINee changes from bowl cuts to side swept hairstyle. It looks like their mommas licked it to the side.

Girls Generation (SNSD) barely fit in the photo.

Yoo Chae-young is practising her pose for when she is on-stage. It’s exactly the same.

Yoo Seungho is awkward. The boy still needs to grow into his hands.
