"Want to let everyone experience the feel of live radio"

Boyband SS501's youngest member, Kim Hyung Jun, wants to let listeners experience live radio, and his insistence on doing a live broadcast at 2am daily shocked many.

Starting from the 13th, Kim Hyung Jun took over SBS Power Radio's new Spring line-up, hosting a program daily at 2am, his first-time as a solo DJ since his debut.

However, to the surprise of his company's staff and the programming team, Kim Hyung Jun requested on doing a live broadcast, despite the program's 2am timing.

On the 25th, a source close to Kim Hyung Jun said, "It's not unusual for broadcasts to be pre-recorded if the program's time slot is late", "But Kim Hyung Jun says he hopes to let listeners experience live radio, and so he suggested doing live broadcast daily." As such, most of the programs have been broadcasted live.

The source also said, "The passion to interact directly with listeners is great for someone who's being a solo DJ for the first time."

SS501 will be releasing their 2nd official album in Japan in May.

Ratings for Sakurai Sho's New Drama ♥ 7:04 PM




Ratings for Sakurai Sho's New Drama

Beats Fellow Arashi Member Matsumoto Jun

Source : Mingpao
Translated: sparkles_n15 @ http://asianfanatics.net

With the spring drama season underway, the highest rating from last week's broadcast goes to 'Boss', starring Amami Yuki with 18% viewership. Ratings have also been released for four other dramas, but the overall viewership is lower than 'Boss'. Arashi member Sakurai Sho stars in NTV's 'The Quiz Show'. Sakurai's character is the host of a game show who reveals secrets from the contestants' past. The ratings were at 14%, which beats fellow Arashi member Matsumoto Jun, who is starring in TBS's 'Smile'. A tanned Matsujun plays a half-Japanese, half-Filipino character alongside a mute girl played by Aragaki Yui. Ratings were only at 11.7%.

With his return to the small screen, 'Tokyo Tower' actor Odagiri Joe is paired with Nagasawa Masami as brother and sister in 'Boku no Imoto'. Ratings were at 12.2%, which barely edged out 'Smile'. TV Asahi's 'Meitantei no Okite', an adaptation of Higashino Keigo's novel and starring Matsuda Shota and Kashii Yu had ratings of 10.8%. Although Kashii Yu is up against her husband Odagiri Joe in separate dramas, both have only reached average ratings so far.

Erika Toda photobook gets 100,000 copies in first printing ♥ 11:25 PM


Publisher Shueisha has revealed that Erika Toda's (20) upcoming photobook "Vivace" will have an unusually large print run for its first edition - 100,000 copies. Lately, it is said that typical photobooks have initial print runs of several thousands, with the most popular actresses and idols topping out at about 50,000.

However, Shueisha is confident that Toda can sell plenty of books, given her popularity among both men and women. Males frequently see her in gravure and idol magazines, while young women view her as a leader among fashion models.

In fact, the photobook emphasizes her connection to fashion, essentially doubling as a catalog for popular brand CECIL McBEE, which was the top-selling brand at Shibuya 109 for six straight years starting in 2000. Toda was photographed in Rome and Tokyo wearing only CECIL McBEE apparel, with a focus on the brand's new spring and summer products. The clothes also include a few that Toda designed herself. Shueisha is even bundling the photobook with a special booklet for placing orders for many of the items.

The photobook goes on sale May 1 and should appeal to the younger generations with a price tag of only 980 yen.

"Going into Japan", Interview on SS501's Japanese ♥ 7:33 PM

Credits: nownes.seoul.co.kr + Elsa菜 @ doubles501.com + (English translation) SS5014ever @ quainte501.com and asian fanatics

The center of the Korean Wave/Hanryu, how good is SS501's Japanese?

SS501, who returned along with the cast of "Boys over Flower" on the 19th, caused a stir with their Japanese language skills, especially Kim Hyun Joong, who's fluent Japanese greatly helped interviews with the cast to go smoothly.

Famous for being quiet, Kim Hyun Joong took up the microphone and spoke up for the cast during Japan's TBS broadcast and the event at Tokyo's JBC. His fluent Japanese grabbed the attention of everyone.

It's the 4th year since SS501 started having events in Japan and Korea simultaneously. SS501 members who were on stage at the end of the event also won the applause of the 5000 people who were present with their Japanese language skills.

How did SS501 learn their Japanese? How good are they?

SS501 explains in the interview that it was totally "on the spot learning"

"It was unlike other groups, who'd learn the language before going overseas", recalls Kim Kyu Jong, "The members didn't know anything when we went to Japan, and we could only stay in our hostel watching a TV with no foreign channels", "the teacher who came occasionally didn't speak Korean", "Initially it was to overcome the feeling of glumness, subsequently it was due to the need to survive that we learnt Japanese."

When asked who picked up the language the fastest, everyone unanimously chose Park Jung Min. Kim Hyung Jun said laughingly, "Jung Min's also the most fluent in Korean", "Jung Min seems to have a talent in learning languages. Initially we didn't think much of it but when he was conversing with Japanese fans after the musical Grease, we were really shocked. It was really cool seeing his interaction with the audience."

"But the hidden talent is Heo Young Saeng!" Kim Kyu Jong, who said this, talked about an incident that occurred not too long after they had started learning Japanese. "Members were hard at work learning Japanese, Young Saeng hyung only watched but he started having an earnest conversation with a Japanese friend without our knowledge." Kyu Jong's comments caused Young Saeng to be embarrassed, though he cleverly remarked "I only talk to locals."

A staff from SS501's company, DSP ent, said, "After their debut, Korea and Japan activities were the main focus, so all the members gradually had the ability to speak Japanese, at the very least, they won't feel unease in their daily life", "During Japan's fan meeting, even without the help of a translator, most of them can converse without a problem, so the atmosphere is good."

Concentrating heavily on activities in Korea since last year end, SS501 is slated to start their Japan activities from next month. There'll be a Japan-Korea combined fan meeting on the 2nd and they will also be promoting the release of their 2nd Japan album in May.

The Boys Over Flowers syndrome helped propel Kim So Eun's popularity, landing her as models for "Clean N Clear" and "Pocari Sweat." Also she was picked as the model for Bonjuk porridge shop along with Kim Bum, making her 2009's biggest up and coming star.

Kim So Eun's pure and lively charms are comparable even to F4's, and she will express her feelings about the drama in this interview.

Q. "Boys Over Flowers" has finished filming. How do you feel?
A. “It feels like I am still in the middle of filming. Even though has finished filming, it feels like it hasn't. Even though it was tiring for 6 months... BoF was very popular, and I received a lot of popularity too. Thank you very much everyone.”

Q. What is the most memorable thing?
A. “Because of BoF "Ga Eul-yang" has become my nickname (laughs). Even though at first I was a little sad about the name, but on one hand after fully absorbing the "Ga Eul" character I felt an intimacy to be called that so I felt happy. Also because I have received so much love with my nickname it has become a precious name to me and my other name. Sometimes even my family and friends would call me "Ga Eul-yang." (laughs)”

Q. You received a lot of love by as the "Soeul couple" with Kim Bum.
A. “In the drama Ga Eul and Yi Jeong's love line differed from the original Japanese work to create a beautiful love, and I was very happy because of that. "Soeul couple" is a pretty name to be coined as... I'm thankful we received so much support and love (laughs).”

Q. Lastly please say a few words to the fans.
A. “My fans who have given me so much love, I hope you will be healthy. I hope your days are filled with laughter. Now and in the future with everyone's support I will show you all a better side of me as well as my hard efforts. And today, tomorrow, everyday, thank you.”

Up next was Leader Kim Hyun Joong, whom the audience had been anticipating.

Once he was up on stage, the audience started waving their lightsticks and fans. As "Hyun Joong" was difficult to pronounce, everyone was shouting "Leader, Leader" instead. Kim Hyun Joong greeted everyone in fluent Japanese, "I'm very glad to see everyone here today, regardless if I've seen you before, or if this is our first meeting."

Kim Hyun Joong prepared a special present, which was his guitar performance. He played the song he played for Jan Di in "Boys over Flower", winning him the cheers of the fans. But as he was too nervous, he NG-ed twice. However, fans would always shout "It's ok" in Korean to an embarrassed Kim Hyun Joong, and he managed to finish his performance.

In the subsequent interview, he was asked "If you fell in love with your friend's girlfriend, just like in the drama, what would you do?" Kim Hyun Joong replied, "If I really like the girl, I'll go for it", "But that girl mustn't be Jung Min's girlfriend..." His reply caused laughter among the audience. When asked, "Why not Jung Min's girlfriend", Kim Hyun Joong replied, "He's too scary", again causing the audience to laugh.

With regards to interesting happenings during filming, Kim Hyun Joong said, "In New Caledonia, if you hurt a lizard accidentally, you'll be deported. So we spent most of our filming time looking at the ground."

During the fan meeting, Kim Hyun Joong also had performances with the other members of SS501.

Korean F4 madly attracts Japanese girls; making $21,540,000 NTD in a day ♥ 6:20 PM

Source: Liberty Times
Translated by catalie @ asianfanatics

Yesterday the Korean [Boys Over Flowers] F4 Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, Kim Joon and female lead Koo Hye Sun held a fans meeting and press conference in Tokyo. Following Taiwan and Japan filming the television drama of this, the "Boys Over Flowers craze" has once again been set off in Japan.

Lee Min Ho loves to spend, blames drama for stirring up trouble

Yesterday the Korean "Boys Over Flowers" cast members held two fans activities in the afternoon and at night. One event had 3000 people, with an entrance ticket costing $10,500 JPY (approx. $3590 NTD); in one day they made a total of $21,540,000 NTD. There were media from over 100 companies at the press conference that evening, this was most surprising in comparison to other Korean stars who have come to promote in Japan lately. The Japanese media seems to still be very supportive of the "Boys Over Flowers" name.

Lee Min Ho who acts as male lead Gu Jun Pyo in the drama (originally known as Domyoji Tsukasa) appeared dressed in white like Prince Charming. He joked saying, because his character in the drama was very rich, personally he has also developed a habit of spending money.

Kim Hyun Joong reveals he isn't gentle, afraid this will shock people

Kim Hyun Joong said many people think that he is similar to his character (originally known as Hanazawa Rui), that he speaks just as gently but in fact, the real him is not like that, he hopes everyone won't be shocked at hearing this.

Lee Min Ho said even though there are already Taiwanese and Japanese versions, the Korean version has a different taste, and also has many interesting little insert tracks, he hopes that everyone will like it; while Kim Hyun Joon said the plot for the Korean version is more realistic and the love aspect is portrayed much more deeply; Goo Hye Sun supported this saying, the Korean "Boys Over Flowers" presents Korean emotions not found in the Taiwanese or Japanese version, so everyone can notice and compare them.

Koo Hye Sun who was surrounded by 4 handsome guys, had her head down all along, nervous; she said she has always been very shy. However, due to the very cheerful personality of the female lead, she has been influenced and has now become much more lively compared to before.
