[4MINUTE/NEWS] Italian singer Alex Palmieri, 4Minute's 'Muzik' plagiarism controversy



Singer Alex Palmieri performed "Disco Music," which appeared on the singer's album released last year on the Italian TV program, 'Social King 2.0,' and the song has been found to be incredibly similar, both in the rhythm and melody, to 4minute's 2009 song, "Muzik." Palmieri has been known in the past to copy American songs, giving this accusation more credit.

And to Jiyeon who shed some tears during the filming, he wrote, “Hey friend~ See. The camera shook because we were too busy making fun of each other. Anyway, I hope we have no more reasons to cry in the future. I’m embarrassed that I have no way of comforting you, even though we are fellow idols. I’ll be supporting you. Fighting!”

And to Jiyoung he wrote, “Don’t make fun of me because I like to take pictures~ It’s still surreal that I am a celebrity. Jiyoung looks exactly like her beautiful mother. To be honest, I think her mother is just a little more beautiful… Kidding, congratulations on your graduation.”

[T-ARA] T-ara doesn't have a dating ban but...



T-ara member, Jiyeon recently revealed her group’s busy work schedule, showing some frustration.

On a recent broadcast of MBC TV‘s ‘Joo Byung Jin Talk Concert‘, Jiyeon appeared as a guest.  Many agencies enforce dating bans on their idols and Jiyeon was asked if there was such a ban for T-ara. Ji-Yeon revealed, “T-ara doesn’t have such regulations.”

However, the idol insisted that it’s nearly impossible for her group to go on dates despite the lax rules.

She continued, “However, [our agency] doesn’t give us the time.  They cram tons of activities into our schedules and say we can date if we can find the time.  The most activities I had in one day was twelve.  At first I thought, ‘How can I finish all of this?’, but then found myself completing them anyway.  I didn’t see my family members for months because we were so busy. After our debut, I’ve never attended school properly.  My friends only see me as a celebrity and not really as a friend.”

Gary did indeed respond to the fans by writing on his Twitter page on February 2nd, “Did we work this hard on the sketch from the start…? I will work harder now, knowing that there are people out there who care about me enough to tell me to be strong, but no need for that anymore!! There is nothing that I need to be strong about… there are other people out there who are struggling for real… my biggest struggle is finding myself haha.

He later wrote, “Why do I have to listen to people telling me that they are sorry, when they don’t need to be and I don’t need to hear it…?

Gary and Song Ji Hyo are cast mates on popular SBS TV variety program, ‘Running Man’, and have received a lot of love and support by the viewers as the ‘Monday Couple‘.

[RUNNING MAN] Song Ji Hyo is in a relationship with C-JeS Entertainment's CEO



News outlet Dispatch is reporting that Song Ji Hyo is in a relationship with the CEO of her entertainment company! According to Dispatch, the actress began her relationship with C-JeS Entertainment CEO Baek Chang Ju in December of last year.

Though the couple have busy individual schedules, they managed to make time for each other in the evenings. They’ve been photographed on numerous dates in Kangnam, which included a late-night stroll in the park, a movie outing, as well as dining at local eateries.

A source revealed, “There are many negative impressions of the CEO. However, he is opposite of what the rumors say about him. I believe it was his sensitive nature that caused Song Ji Hyo to fall for him.”

In the paparazzi shots, Baek clearly acted as a gentleman; he would drop Song off at her house, wait for her outside his car despite the cold weather, and always escorted Song in and out of the car. He was even a gentleman towards her parents. When he met Song’s mother and father last December, he was seen making a 90 degree bow; Song’s mother gave him a hug in response.

A source related to C-JeS had this to say about the meeting: “Baek has a keen interest in Song’s acting activities. Her parents were just thanking him for this attention. This was not a meeting whose purpose was to ask for their blessing for their relationship.”

The source concluded with, “They are a very cautious couple because it’s a relationship between an actress and an entertainment company CEO. All I know is that they are in the beginning stages of their relationship. I can’t comment on the rest because it concerns their private life.”

-noooooo, it can't be. I love Monday Couple alot and this is just .. Fine, it's not like I can do anything about it. As long as Jihyo is happy with that man, I'm okay with it ( I'll still feel sad though) Poor Gary~  It would be awkward to watch Monday Couple on Running Man from now on [I do know the show(including Monday couple is only for entertainment purpose but still ): ]-
