Donghae and Henry's friendship makes Eunhyuk jealous

 
  
Super Junior's Eunhyuk and Super Junior-M's Henry had a little joke-spat on Twitter.


It all started when Donghae tweeted a photo of himself proudly posing with Henry's 'Trap' album and wrote, "Nice album ... :)" and "Yo Henry :) Love ya~~". He also added on, "1.4.3 Henry ~~". In response, Henry wrote, "Me too!!!! kekekeke".



The exchange made Eunhyuk speak up, who complained, "Hey, how come you didn't give me an album?". Henry replied, "Because I like Donghae-hyung more kekekeke :P".


This caused Eunhyuk to jokingly tell Henry, "Trap sucks". Henry then retaliated, "Hyung, this is a good picture of you ^^" and attached the photo below.





Eunhyuk replied, "Hyung was really mad this day, didn't you know?", which made Henry say, "I love you, hyung. 143 (alluding to his song '143', which stands for 'I love you')."



Eunhyuk concluded the conversation with, "It's not a simple number game."

Lee Seung Gi explains why he is the celebrity that the paparazzi gave up on

 

Lee Seung Gi explained why he is known as 'the celebrity who the paparazzi gave up on'. 


When asked about his nickname 'the celebrity who the paparazzi gave up on', his proper lifestyle, and love life, the singer shared, "Haha, I am not the type to get stressed out easily. I don't smoke and drink only a little bit, but I quit drinking completely while filming 'Book of the House of Gu'. I hardly drank this year so my stamina has improved. Girlfriend? I've been a celebrity for 10 years... Although I've had moments when my heart fluttered, I've never had a love that left a mark. Like the dating scandals that have been receiving attention these days, I've never had a relationship that was worthy of an inside scoop."





 
Lee Seung Gi also revealed that he can relate to co-star Suzy who is always making headlines as the 'nation's first love'. Lee Seung Gi shared, "As much as I had a time in my life when I was loved as the 'nation's younger brother', I don't see Suzy as any different. Whenever I look at Suzy, I think, 'I used to be like that too back in the day'... The public used to focus on my image more than my acting and I think Suzy is going through the same thing right now. Our kiss scene was very strong? When I shot my first kiss scene, I received a hot response from noona fans who went wild over the nation's younger brother filming a kiss scene... Haha, I also received a lot of curses from male fans."


The singer also shared, "If I have the time, I would like to go on variety shows", making fans excited for his possible return to variety shows.



Taecyeon hasn't been attending his classes at Korea University?

 

  
2PM's Taecyeon made headlines when he was accepted in to Korea University's School of International Studies and earned praise from fans and the public initially, but it has now been reported that contrary to popular belief, he hasn't been attending his classes. 


He'd previously said, "I wondered what it'd be like if I helped use the influence I have as part of 2PM internationally in a good way, so I decided on that major. I might not be a scholar, but It's something I want to try. I'm going to work hard so that I can become an ambassador of peace."



Even though some articles had reported that Taecyeon was diligently attending classes, asking an actual student at the School of International Studies revealed that Taecyeon had yet to attend his classes. In one of the attendance lists for Taeceyon's class, it shows Taecyeon had never been to class since the beginning of the semester and the professor seems to have given up on marking Taecyeon's absence after a while.


One student who was in 5 of Taecyeon's classes said that he'd seen Taecyeon once during the entire semester, leading netizens to wonder whether that means he also hasn't handed in necessary reports nor taken the midterms and finals.


Korea University's School of International Studies said, "By school rules, a student get an F is he is absent for more than 1/6th of the classes. However, there is a portion where the professor can give his own opinions for a grade. Even though Taecyeon registered, he missed his classes, so he probably hasn't received grades. It's difficult for him to expect grades if he's not coming to any classes."


In response to the report, netizens have been voicing various opinions that range from criticizing celebrities who use their status and image to be accepted into the school only to not attend in the end, to reasoning that Taecyeon was probably too busy with 2PM promotions lately to attend and should be given a chance to explain.


Taecyeon graduated from Dankook University with a degree in business administration and was accepted into Korea University Graduate School of International Studies.
