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?

Yoona and Seohyun, who boasted about having moist skin thanks to Beauty N, had close-up shots filmed by Sooyoung. Their bright and moist skin made it clear as to why they were Miero Beauty N models, and people around them were jealous of them.

Due to the recent TVXQ chaos occurring, news agency looked up the exclusivity contracts of various artists from the popular management agencies.

The ironic aspect is that even within groups each member may have different contracts. In the case of from SNSD, she is the one member that is contracted for 13 years.



When SM was asked why �s contract period was so long compared to others, a SM representative replied, �In �s case it�s due to the fact that she is not contracted as just a singer but as an actress as well.�

In �s case, before she debuted she went through arduous acting classes and she has proven that she can handle various activities (acting/singing/etc) due to her last 2 dramas that were instant hits.

OMG! CAN'T WAIT!!

It’s hard for a woman who had her man taken away to keep her state of mind. They constantly shift between craziness and hatred. This phenomenon was shown through SBS’s “My Man’s Woman” by script writer Kim Soo hyun.

Gong Hyun Ju, who is acting as a careerwoman Kim Soo Bin in KBS drama “You Are My Destiny” (Writer: Moon Eun Ah, Producer:Kim Myung Ook), has a different look in her eyes in recent episodes. This is because she has to show the jealousy she feels towards Sae Byuk, who stole the heart of the man she loves. This is the biggest act that she has done after her 2001 Supermodel debut.
“I can’t deny that Soo Bin is a mean character. But I can also understand her, too. Although SooBin is self-centered careerwoman, she is very obidient to the man she loves. That’s why she is so likable.”
Even though it is a drama act, how would the So Nyuh Shi Dae member, Yoona, feel? “The producer requests that I actually be mean to Yoona. But Yoona is too nice and innocent. I can’t find anything to dislike her with. We have a good Unnie-dongseng relationship. She is really mature.”
The 171cm Gong Hyun Joo is noticing her image through her acting as SooBin. “i think there is a sharp image to me. Also, there is the opposite image. I actually have a normal, cute side to me. I like to work with ease. I am not that much of a feisty person.”
There is a worry that surfaces while acting. It is about the ending of this drama. “I want SooBin to be successful with Ho-sae. If Sae Byuk and Ho-Sae become together im worried about how I will act Soobin’s pain. I don’t know the ending.”
She said that acting in the drama made her see what men really are. “I don’t like men that are indecisive like Ho-Sae. I said a line in the drama ‘It is a sin for a man to be indecisive.’ That line touches my heart. I would like to meet a man who is decisive in real life.” (laughs)
