A lucky man indeed. Not only did he take pictures with SNSD. He took pictures with the lovely girls of F(x). This was posted on his Cyworld also backstage of the Dream Concert. Obviously, he must be a fan of SM's girl groups... Or maybe even girl groups in general... Hmm... I understand you now, Yuri. (kidding)

Kim Tae Woo sang it in different styles.. but I think it's the best cover I've ever heard! Even Taengoo joined the duet!!

GOD’s Kim TaeWoo says he is “angry” about Jaebum’s issue.

In a recent interview Kim TaeWoo said “I’m sure there is no one Korean that has never resented Korea before.” “I don’t understand why they can’t recognize ‘one out of all.’ It’s because they are jealous of one person’s fame.”

Kim TaeWoo said, “Did they really have to ruin a person’s life with their opinions?” Showing much disappointment, he said, “ Jaebum is very talented and always a hard working kid,” and that “He works hard and seems like he will gain a lot of interest with his love. Because of this small issue, one’s life has fallen.”

Kim TaeWoo said, “It was something that happened before he even became a singer,” and added that “if they dug into other’s past they would surely found a flaw.” Kim TaeWoo believes “The most important thing is the present and the possibilities of the future.” And confessed that “Celebrities are not peanuts to be played with for fun. I hope the culture of digging up small issues will disappear. It is really sad.”

On Sept 19th PD JYP said to the fans who demanded the withdrawal of Jaebum’s resignation that “ Right now that is to excessive.” And announced, “2PM will continue as a 6-member group.” Fans have said that “this Jaebum’s resignation issue was similar to god Park JunHyung’s issue when he almost had to resign,” and criticized JYP. What would Kim TaeWoo, having gone through a similar situation, feel about this?
“GOD denied the company’s (JYPE) management during Park Junhyung’s close-to-resignation crisis. I believe if 2PM supports Jaebum, he will have no problem coming back. Also I think (Park) Jinyoung hyung would do the same.”

Kim TaeWoo said that the relation the fans made between GOD and 2PM has nothing to do with it. He said, “The political man is an official recognition. But celebrities are not expert they are artists. They only sing better than most others. Because of the public influence they have to be careful with what they do but it doesn’t mean they have to be perfect.”

He said, “Isn’t doing something morally or conscientiously wrong the main problem? For example, drunk driving and drugs, etc. It should be something that even to a normal person it is considered bad, in order for it to be pointed at. But it doesn’t mean they have to absolutely be polite and gentle.

Kim TaeWoo said, “ Jaebum is being treated like a traitor who sold the country. All he was trying to get was some comfort from his friend back when he was having a hard time. People shouldn’t be concerened about a celebrities personal life,” and said that, “When a singer releases an album and people didn’t like it because it had no change to it then they just shouldn’t buy it. It’s the best way for the people to express their feelings about the singer.”

Summary of the rest of the article:

Kim TaeWoo is basically saying that people shouldn’t be concerned with celebrities personal/private life. And ruin their life with harsh criticism. He says people need to see the difference between the people that deserve the criticism and those who don’t. He continues to talk about the criminals and also Yoo SeungJun who can’t set foot on Korean anymore. He believes the cultural growth is the biggest reason why we need to stop it.

Lastly Kim TaeWoo says “Jaebum sorry I couldn’t protect you,” and that “In truth everyone should say this but it’s hard to. But I believe this is right.

For all you Excel experts and point takers, here are the overall online sale rankings for the third week in September.

And proving that it is a “trope as old as dirt” (tm tvtropes.com) controversy has led to overwhelming success. Yesasia and Hanteo have reported that 2pm’s ‘Time For Change’ and ‘Hottest Time of Day’ are on their top ten selling album of the week. So, a small comfort for them, I hope. G-Dragon’s leading on most lists as usual, but Sandara Park’s song, “Kiss” has been doing well, also. I’m still still waiting for Bom’s single, thank you very much.

GOD's former member Kim Taewoo confessed his interest for SNSD's Yuri.

On the 31st, the episode of 'Come To Play - GOD special', Kim Taewoo picked Yuri as the celebrity he would like to have as a younger sister.

He said "After being in the army, I saw SNSD for the first time when they debuted on TV" and "Even if I didn't watch other artists on music programs, I always watched SNSD's", expressing his attachment for SNSD.

The production team prepared a surprise telephone call with SNSD's Yuri. "During the hard parts of army training, I thought of Yuri to keep me going" and "In my personal cabinet, I put a picture of SNSD's Yuri" Kim Taewoo confessed, turning the studio into a sea of laughter.

On this day, Yuri definitely said "Out of the GOD members, I was Kim Taewoo's fan", causing a strange atmosphere to occur.
