Known for their on and off relationship on SBS’s Running Man, Gary and Song Ji Hyo have become a popular couple that many fans want to see together. Photoshopped images of the couple surfaced a few months back, and one wedding photo in particular became a big hit.

On December 27th, Gary tweeted the photo above and wrote, “When Suk Jin Hyung is feeling down and wants to laugh, he said to send him this photo… our reality is different… so let’s laugh… hahaha… Running Man’s last filming [of the year] was good good!! Thank you for loving Running Man!!”

The Photoshopped image revealed Gary and Song Ji Hyo dressed in wedding outfits, complete with the words, “The Wedding coming from Song Ji Hyo and Kang Gary..When life is hard on you love love..love love don’t even forget what love means.”

On December 23rd, SM introduced Kai, the first member of EXO. Judging from the teaser clip, he’s quite the fluid dancer, and is sure to capture many fangirls’ hearts with his mysterious charisma.


So who's your favourite member so far? Well, I think Kai is really handsome. He dances really well! Lu Han reminded me of JaeJoong, and they said he has strong vocals so I'm really looking forward for him to sing. Tao is..HOT. Lol, maybe cause he knows martial arts. I've always think guys who know martial arts look exceptionally handsome and hot xD So what do you think of the members of EXO? Feel free to tell me about it.

An old photo of 4minute‘s HyunA has gone viral in Korea, attracting the attention of fans and netizens alike.
Doesn't she look cute and innocent? Well, she still is. Hyuna is always adorable and lovely. She hasn't really changed. She's sexy on stage and cute off stage.

On Stage VS Off Stage

Following the debut of Cube Entertainment‘s first unit group, Trouble Maker, the second unit group has been chosen to be 4minute‘s Gayoon and Jiyoon!

On December 22nd, representatives of Cube Entertainment revealed that the two will be debuting as a unit after the release of 4minute’s comeback album and promotions next year. As 4minute’s main vocalist, Gayoon is known for her exceptional vocal talent, and has already participated in a number of OSTs herself.

Combined with Jiyoon’s talent as 4minute’s second vocalist along with her experience on ‘Immortal Song 2‘, the two will be showing a new charm and image unlike any seen before.

The representative stated, “Gayoon and Jiyoon’s vocal styles are completely the opposite of each other, but when combined, creates a beautiful effect. We’re currently considering them as a ballad duo. There isn’t a name for their unit yet but our company has taken to calling them the ‘Double Yoon’.”

It’s been announced that T-ara‘s new leader will be Soyeon, who will carry the torch after Hyomin.

Soyeon will be acting as leader of the group through promotions for their new repackaged album single “Lovey Dovey.” Core Contents Media stated, “Soyeon is the team’s main vocal as well someone with a strong sense of responsibility. This is why she is now leader following Eunjung, Boram, and Hyomin.”

The leader of T-ara acts as the intermediary between the group and producers as well as stylists for six to eight months to make a decision on the style the team will take on.

Since it’s her first time taking charge in the group, Soyeon was understandably worried about her new role.

“Honestly, I feel stressed and I have a lot of heavy thoughts,” she confessed. “Hyomin, who came before me, did such a good job boosting T-ara’s popularity; I feel a responsibility to continue developing the team since I’m older than her.”

“T-ara’s leader doesn’t just look down from on high, but works at the lowest level, doing the menial jobs,” Soyeon said. “I will always perform my duties as one of the members.”

Soyeon revealed that this isn’t the first time she’s found herself in a position of power. “When I was in elementary school, I was the class president for five years,” she noted. “Since I don’t have any siblings, I like socializing with other people. I’ll use this skill to act as the intermediary.”

In her role as T-ara’s leader, she will place her members ahead of everyone else, she said. “We’re going to have a very busy end of the year, so I will take the lead to make sure all of our members are safe and healthy,” she promised.

She also expressed her gratitude to former leader Hyomin, as well as to the others who had preceded her. “Following in Eunjung, Boram, and Hyomin unnie’s footsteps, I’d like to thank them for working so hard, and promise to work even harder,” she said.

Soyeon will step into the leader’s position for T-ara’s “Lovey-Dovey” promotions, scheduled to begin in January of next year.

Although the video they sent weren't live, but I'm still glad/excited because they called me. Donghyun & Jeongmin were on the bed when they were calling me.
