Crayon Pop reveal their new outfits for their comeback


Crayon Pop has revealed their new outfits for their comeback!

The girls will be having their comeback with "Hey" (tentative title) later this month. Star News and Ilgan Sports published photos of what seems to be their jacket photo shooting. The girls are dressed from hanbok-inspired clothes, with pants drawn to their knees, sky blue skirts, and a golden band around their waist. Replacing their famous helmets will be bandanas, and they'll be wearing traditional white rubber shoes instead of heels or sneakers.

Their label said, "We used Korean traditional clothing because of their comfort, practicality and uniqueness. The girls have been wearing modernized hanbok for their New Year's greeting and photoshoots, and they fell in love with it. They actively expressed that they wanted their stage outfit motif to be the traditional clothes."

Kang Jin Woo of the producer team Dumb & Dumber behind Crayon Pop's "Dancing Queen" and "Saturday Night" created the upcoming title track instead of "Bar Bar Bar" creator Kim Yoo Min.

Yunho reveals Changmin suddenly does a lot of aegyo for him


Yunho revealed that Changmin's aegyo suddenly increased lately!

The two TVXQ members were guests on SBS Power FM's 'Jung Seong Hee's A Night Like Tonight". During the broadcast, Yunho asked CHangmin, "Fans usually think Changmin is chic, but lately he does a lot of aegyo. I'm curious if he's suddenly changed, or if he realized something, or if he's lonely."

Changmin answered, "As the leader, Yunho hyung is always responsible and he does all the difficult things. I guess I was just feeling safe from that, so I didn't talk much. But now, I think that if I could help, I should step forward to do things so hyung doesn't have to. Now that I think like that, I feel more free and I can express myself more. Now that I'm like that, I'm like a runaway horse. I guess I got more aegyo, too."

The DJ asked, "For example, what kind of aegyo do you do?". Changmin answered, "Before, if Yunho hyung said, 'let's do something', I'd just say, 'Ah, okay'. Now, I say, 'Okies~'. I'm not trying to be cute. It just come out."

Yunho added, "I like this better. Before it was two guys, so aegyo was weird. But now that we can joke around with each other, I think we became a group with a lot of color."

Yeo Jin Goo Makes a Surprise Appearance on “Superman Returns”

superman returns

Yeo Jin Goo is another proof that time flies by as we were reminded again that the actor is no longer a child actor.

On the March 16 broadcast of KBS’ “Superman Returns” Yeo Jin Goo made a surprise appearance on the show when Jang Hyun Sung took his sons to a studio to take part in the commentary for the movie “Hwai: The Child Who Swallowed a Monster.”

Although the children were able to meet prominent actors such as Kim Yoon Suk and Kim Sung Kyun, the children were most shy around Yeo Jin Goo. When Yeo Jin Goo arrived late for the recording of the commentary, the children were nonetheless eager to meet him, even preparing a paper for him to sign. Between Joon Woo and Joon Suh, the oldest Joon Woo was the most embarrassed to meet an actor he recognized. The fact that the oldest son of an actor was embarrassed to meet an actor he knew (as he showed no real emotions when he met the other veteran actors) created a cute scene between the two sons and Yeo Jin Goo.

When the youngest son Joon Seo asked Yeo Jin Goo “Did you have a lot of girlfriends?” everyone could not help but laugh as the oldest Joon Woo couldn’t hide his embarrassment. However, with a smile Yeo Jin Goo responded, “I did have a lot of girl friends in the past, but instead of dating, we were just friends.”

The kids also had the opportunity to feel Yeo Jin Goo’s muscular thighs in order to see the actor’s athleticism, once again causing laughter between the actors and the children. When Jang Hyun Sung told Yeo Jin Goo that his eldest son Joon Woo was “jealous of children with older brothers because he did not have one,” Yeo Jin Goo warmly responded, “I’ll visit more often,” lighting up the child’s face.

Hopefully we can see more of Yeo Jin Goo on “Superman Returns.”

Henry handily solves a math problem that stumps the rest of his squad on 'Real Men'


Although Henry has been the 'black hole' of his squad during his appearance on 'Real Men' so far, he had a chance to redeem himself on the latest episode!

When he found the rest of his squad burning a hole in their brains over a math problem, he glanced at the paper - and solved it within ten seconds! "It's really easy," he said, writing down the answer and passing it on to Kim Soo Ro, who confirmed that he actually did have the right answer.

The second digit in each equation refers to the number of digits that should be added up in total after the first digit. For example, in the first problem 5 % 2, the second digit means that a total of two numbers should be added together - 5 and 6, which equals 11. The second problem, 2 % 4, translates to 2+3+4+5 = 14.

Park Yoo Hwan Talks About Dating, Marriage and Ideal Type

Meeting with Newsen for an interview recently, Park Yoo Hwan talked, “I haven’t really thought about marriage yet. I think I will get married when the time is right, regardless of my age.”

About his ideal type, he said, “I put physical appearance at the bottom of the list when it comes to looking at the opposite gender. I don’t think physical looks contribute much to a relationship, no matter how beautiful the person is. A relationship lasts long, when there is good communication. I hope I can meet someone who I can share my heart with.”

“I don’t usually express the hardships I go through,” said Park Yoo Hwan. “Not even to my family. I don’t want my family to worry because of me. Both my mother and my brother probably go through their own hardships, more than I do. So I want to meet someone who I can share those things with. Maybe that’s why I’ve only dated older girls so far.”

Having immigrated to America when he was young, Park Yoo Hwan experienced racism during childhood. About this he said, “My personality changed a lot when I went to America.”

“I was always playful, talkative, and liked to moved around a lot. But when I went to America, I was always home,” confessed the actor. “I couldn’t get along with people my age and just stayed with my brother. I didn’t like to go out, and was even afraid to talk to people. I got stressed just by thinking about having a conversation.”

“Even after I came back to Korea, my personality didn’t change,” he continued. “Before I dreamed of becoming an actor, I would refuse whenever people asked me to go eat or drink with them. My personality had changed a lot. I think had a hard time carrying out a conversation and got stressed, since I had no idea what I wanted to do.”

“Fortunately, as I started acting, I got my old personality back,” he said. “Every time I finished each project, I learned so much not only as an actor, but as myself, Park Yoo Hwan.

Meanwhile, Park Yoo Hwa recently starred in tvN’s I Need a Romance 3, acting as Lee Woo Young.

Lee Kwang Soo and Kim Woo Bin Make a Clumsy Cheating Pair on “Running Man”

Many fans of “Running Man” suspected that permanent member Lee Kwang Soo and guest Kim Woo Bin would have great chemistry if they were to pair up during the show’s current overseas special, “Adventures in Australia.” They were right, as this week’s episode proved. 

Last week, Kim Woo Bin was paired with Yoo Jae Suk, and Lee Kwang Soo with Rain, but this week, partners were switched to turn things up a notch. Lee Kwang Soo and Kim Woo Bin teamed up, while Kim Jong Kook and Rain made another team. Yoo Jae Suk was paired with Ji Suk Jin, and Haha and Gary became another team. 

For one of the missions, the pairs were required to protect the water in their cups from spilling. Kim Woo Bin and Lee Kwang Soo tried to cheat by drinking water from another source and holding it within their mouths, intending to add it to their cups when no one was looking if some water spilled on the trip. Unfortunately, Rain caught Lee Kwang Soo’s eye before he could drink the extra water, preventing the “icon of betrayal” from fulfilling his character.

Lee Kwang Soo then thought of another clever plan to protect his water. He decided to drink the water in his cup and retain it in his mouth during the trip. He then spit it back out into the cup at the end, adding his spit to the water level. Once again his plan was foiled by Rain, who noticed that there was more water now in the cup than what Lee Kwang Soo started with.

The staff  also questioned Kim Woo Bin, since there was too much water. Kim Woo Bin paused for a minute before he indirectly admitted he cheated with, “Let’s do this over.” Lee Kwang Soo immediately told on Kim Woo Bin, saying Kim Woo Bin was the “dirty” one, acting like he just wanted a drink of water at the beginning of the race. Kim Woo Bin also tattled on his partner, confessing that Lee Kwang Soo also tried to cheat in the beginning but was stopped in his tracks by Rain.

Kim Woo Bin and Lee Kwang Soo also filmed a mini music video to Rain’s “La Song”  between their missions since the latter loves to pose. Kim Woo Bin sheepishly followed along, even trying to dance in his spot along with his partner. But Lee Kwang Soo’s “confident” moves proved too much for the shy actor, who couldn’t complete the music video.
