We aren't sure about their schedule or what they are recording exactly. We had groups of production staff filming separately as well so we are really curious about what's being filmed."

[news] Kara To Say Goodbye


With so many groups making their debuts and comebacks this week, another group is making their exit.

The 5 member girl group, Kara will be having their goodbye stages this weekend from 16 - 18th October on KBS2TV's Music Bank, MBC's Music Core and SBS's Inkigayo.

Kara has been really busy with their Revolution album promotions since it's release in July, promoting their title track Wanna and then their follow-up song, Mister. Their follow-up song, Mister proved to be a big hit with their fans, thanks to their "butt dance" choreography and is now their trademark. The success of Mister also saw them picking up a Mutizen award on Inkigayo in September.

Although Kara will be ending their group activities, their solo activities will still continue. Goo Hara for example will be appearing in KBS2TV's Invincible Youth variety show. The girls will also be filming some CFs after this week.

Kara will not be idling for long though as they will be making a comeback in mid-November with a digital single album so watch out for that.

[news] Who Is the Next Solo Star?


Daum loves their polls, and here’s another one for you to dissect. A recent poll poses the question of which idol singers would receive the most success when (not if) their group breaks up. The top ten was determined from the consensus of about 12,000 people polled. Who came out on top?

1. Yunho – “Heading to the Ground” isn’t exactly a big hit, but netizens love their U-Know, you know (whose idea was that name?). Fans believe his acting skills will become positively Shakespearean with time. He’s also hot.

2. Micky Yoochun - Not the one from Dong Bang Shin Ki I would have picked for a solo singing career, but perhaps it’s the power of the pimp hand.

3. G-Dragon – Most overrated idol? Fans are calling him the next Seo Taiji. He already has a massive selling solo album under his belt, so it’s not difficult to imagine him going after bigger and better things in the future.

4. T.O.P – Well, no argument from my end. Handsome, and already has some acting experience under his belt. I definitely would like to see more of TOP the thespian in the future (Iris!).

5. Sunye – This one surprised me a bit- some are saying she may be the second Lee Hyori. JYP had intended for her to originally debut solo, but Sunye opted to join a group. Not disappointed that she beat out Sohee for this spot; whenever I see Sunye perform (especially solo) she does have a certain “something” that lends itself to her charisma and nice vocal skills. I could see this happening in the future.

6. Taeyeon – She’s got the vocal chops, therefore crowning her the rising ballad queen. Taeyeon also has a good reputation with the public, so out of the Soshis, she could be the most successful.

7. Yoona – Netizens think she may eventually be in league with actresses Jeon Ji Hyun and Kim Tae Hee. Really? Ok, well I can accept more as an actress than actress/singer, but she has received an unprecedented amount of attention considering her resume. She’s got plenty of time to prove herself, and I think she’ll be one of the first to break away for good in order to do so.

8. Siwon – Hot, folks love him

9. Kim Hyun Joong – He’s still riding a wave of momentum from “Boys Over Flowers,” but that poor boy needs to take a year long nap before he gets attached to any more projects.

10. Han Seungyeon – This one is the head-scratcher for me. Apparently netizens think she is cute and that she stands out the most in KARA. Hmm, I thought it was Nicole, but I personally don’t see anyone in KARA having a successful solo career, unless they also try acting.

Honorable mentions go to every other member of DBSK (seriously), Heechul and Kangin from Super Junior, Daesung, Jessica and Tiffany from So Nyeo Shi Dae and Sohee (dang it).

As with all polls, public opinion, grain of salt etc., but for the purposes of discussion, do you think this was fairly on the money? Who do you think will break out from the current idol crop to become the next Lee Hyori or Rain?

[DKP SPECIAL] The lucky star of the week!



If you are a true k pop fan,i am pretty sure that you have read the news concerning SNSD's Yoona and KARA's Goo HARA pitching for a Korean Baseball team,Doosan Bears.

The lucky star that i selected is neither Hara nor Yoona,in my opinion,the lucky star is the mascot of the team,the "Bear" as shown in the picture.

What's the reason for me to say so?The reason is simple,it is because the bear has the most interactions with the two pretty idols,i just wonder whether the person inside the costume is the same person or not.

It's hard to be a mascot for particular team,but the tiredness is nowhere to be seen if female idols appear from time to time on the pitch,i wish that i was that mascoit two!!





Besides,the two idols with angel's face have done their best pitching,but who do you think has done a better job?





Please tell us your answer,thanks!

[Video] Another goddess on the pitch,KARA's Goo Hara!


After seeing SNSD's Yoona opening the pitch for Doosan Bears yesterday,now is the turn for another sweet idol to do the same thing.

She is wearing a jersey with V4 which means victory in game 4.She said that she is very honoured to be invited to participate in the game,she prays hard for the team to win and besides wishing herself having a great throw!

Watch the video below!

[news] Hero gets pop-star cameos and a Japanese broadcast


Driven by the star power of Lee Junki, MBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama Hero [히어로] has been licensed for a Japanese broadcast even before it airs in Korea. This is not that surprising when one considers Lee Junki’s widespread popularity throughout Asia, but what IS surprising is the recent admission that the licensing was done far in advance — as far back as last November.

A source explained on October 9 that most dramas in this climate are subject to economic considerations and licensing is generally not finalized until two to four episodes have aired. “However, in Hero’s case, recognition of the solid synopsis and lead actor Lee Junki has led to an unusual circumstance of an early sale at a high price.”

Also announced on the 9th was the drama’s confirmed cameo of pop girl group KARA. The ladies will be featured in the first episode in a performance scene. The mini-concert marks the first meeting for Lee Junki and Kim Min-jung, who play a reporter and a police detective, respectively. They get off on the wrong foot, so I’m betting we can expect a lot of bickering in their future.

The KARA members said of the cameo opportunity, “It’s an honor for us to start off this drama together with Lee Junki and Kim Min-jung, who are actors we have always liked. We’re already excited just thinking about filming, and and really looking forward to it. It feels exciting to be able to show a different side of KARA in the drama.”

Hero premieres on November 18, after Heading to the Ground ends.

Han Seungyeon said "Because there were many things to prepare for the special programs, it was also true our bodies were tired", she continued "During a certain program, the choreography for it was even decided just the night before" as she reminisced. "But because the response was well enough to match our hard work, it felt great. We will continue to be a Kara that always does their best" she said.

While being called 'Goosain Bolt', being remembered as a Chuseok hot code, Goo Hara said "During the holidays, hearing people enjoyed themselves from watching us made me proud" and "I think it was important to show our true selves as we are. We will be a Kara that won't forget our true selves" she revealed.

Nicole also said, "I didn't know we would receive such love during chuseok. Hearing about it later made me surprised" and "Because of the dark circles, it was very embarrassing to reveal our faces.. But I'm thankful because there were so many people who saw it as pretty" she said.

Maknae Kang Jiyoung said, "I was surprised they would air myself snoring during a special program. I thought it would be cut out.." she continued "As I gathered my entire family in front of the TV very proudlike, only to see the first scene of myself was snoring. It was embarrassing" as she chatterred on. She also said, "I was really worried. My fresh face would obviously be something already shown here and there, and for a while I couldn't lift my head" she continued "But because there were alot of people who saw it as pretty, I fell relieved" as she laughed brightly.
