Heechul gets close with Sulli + declares himself to be INFINITE's fanboy

Super Junior's Heechul has been extremely active on his Instagram lately, perhaps as to make up for all the lost times during his military service, and today was no different. Through his most recent posts on his spree, he excited fans of not only f(x) but INFINITE as well!

 

 

In the first post, he continued to showcase his friendship with Sulli as they got cozy during their sticker photo booth session. Writing, "Sulli who always smiles even when she's lonely or sad. I asked her if it's hard to always smile but she still smiles. Her and Tiffa Tiffa Tiffany form the best two happy virus^-^ I am just a virus bbeing bbeing ㅇㅅㅇ But why do I keep getting cut off in photos on Instagram," he sparked the envy of fans who couldn't decide which idol was luckier to hang out with the other. 

He then had supporters of Super Junior and INFINITE giddy with his second post that included a video of him going for a drive with "Be Mine" playing in the background. He wasn't afraid to declare himself a fanboy as he said, "Kim Heenim(20) who is a fanboy of 'Be Mine'. Sunggyu... every time you would greet me with a 90 degree bow, I wanted to hop on your back.." leaving fans to chuckle at his randomness.

JYP Entertainment reveals their plan to branch out into travel industry as 'One JYP' + to debut up to 4 new groups

 

Through a business conference held today, CEO Jung Wook of JYP Entertainment announced their intention of branching out into more areas outside of music.

"Until we became 'One JYP' with the merger of JYP Entertainment and JYP, we've been focusing on making good music and artist management... With the merger, starting from this year and on, we plan to branch out into performances, actor management, movies, musicals, drama production, as well as travel business," he said. 

This kind of move from the company has been expected for a while now as SME and YGE have all branched out into different areas already.

YG Entertainment has worked on getting into the field of animation and asian movie distribution, and also kicked off a 3D hologram project with Everland. SM Entertainment on the other hand has set foot in various productions, travel, and mobile businesses through SM C&C.

Reps from JYPE revealed their anticipation of venturing into travel as they said, "If you look at entertainment companies that have already started up a travel business, the sales from fan tours make up quite a big portion."

So this could mean fun things up ahead for fans who are interested in purchasing travel packages and fan tours that are connected to the artists under JYPE!

[Update] - In more recent reports, it has been mentioned that in addition to branching out, the agency has also revealed that we can expect to see 3-4 new groups make their debut! It is said that 2 male groups and 1 female group are in preparation. One report also mentions that there is also plans for a male group that will be targeting the Japanese market composed of Japanese members.

After School’s Uee Expected a Love Line with Either Kim Hyun Joong and Yoon Shi Yoon

Uee of After School revealed that she had expected a love line with either of her  “Barefoot Friends” costars, “Kim Hyun Joong and Yoon Shi Yoon.”

 

Uee appeared on an episode of “Hwashin” as one of the guests and talked about how she was not very popular with male celebrities because she lacked aegyo. She told the MCs, “Am I that scary? Male celebrities have never contacted or approached me.” 

 

The MCs then asked her about her regular appearance on the variety show “Barefoot Friends,” and if she ever thought about forming a love triangle with her similar aged cast members, Kim Hyun Joong and Yoon Shi Yoon.

 

Uee explained, “At first I also expected a love line like Song Ji Hyo and Gary‘s on ‘Running Man.’ But then after we rode a plane together and they got to know my true self, it became impossible to form a love line with anyone. From the first night the male cast members would even take off their shirt in front of me like it was nothing.”
