Big Bang's Daesung will make his comeback in December for the YG Family Concert that will celebrate the 15th anniversary of YG Entertainment’s founding.
“This concert is expected to feature the comeback stage of Daesung, who suspended all activities since the unfortunate accident in May, so it will be a great event for all the fans that have been waiting for his return,” YGE said in a statement.
According to YGE, the concert titled, “15th Anniversary Celebration YG Family Concert,” will be held three times on Dec. 3 and 4 in Seoul and four times in Japan (Jan. 7 and 8 in Osaka, Jan. 21 and 22 in Saitama). All YGE artists, including Se7en, Gummy, Big Bang, and 2NE1, are expected to perform at the concert which is projected to attract more than 200,000 fans in total.

Couple photos of T.O.P and Yoon Eun Hye getting cozy for a new Calvin Klein Jeans campaign has been released on Oct. 19 through W Magazine. Taken at a hotel in New York City, as we previously reported, the special photo spread portrays T.O.P and Yoon Eun Hye as a couple deeply in love.
The photos that give off a modern yet sexy vibe are based on the theme of love, misunderstanding, and solitude, according to the magazine. Yoon Eun Hye is seen sporting the “Calvin Klein Jeans Stud Denim,” which puts strong emphasis on her sexy bodyline, while T.O.P is wearing the “Calvin Klein Jeans Black Denim” that has a modern and simple touch to it.
The full photo spread will be released on the November issue of W Magazine. Both celebrities are major sex symbols in the K-Pop industry, so it makes perfect sense to put T.O.P and Yoon Eun Hye together in the same commercial. Do they make a good couple?

Wonder Girls' Sohee's Twitter account has been hacked.
On October 22, a tweet with racial slurs was posted under Sohee's account. Netizens who saw that tweet doubted that Sohee would write such a thing.
Even 2PM's Taecyeon left a reply, "Sohee, I think someone hacked into your account." To this Sohee replied, "I said goodnight and went to bed and after I opened my eyes. I saw the mention. Thank you."
Following this, the official JYP Twitter account posted, "Sohee's Twitter account has been hacked. We are looking into it right now and will take charge of it. Thank you." The official Wonder Girls Twitter account posted a similar message and thanked the fans who alerted them about this.
Netizens who received this information said, "There's no way a public figure would post that," "You have to be careful of hackings these days," "It's a relief that they will take charge right away," "I hope Sohee isn't misunderstood through this," and so on.

Recently, singer Kim Hyun Joong’s modest demeanor has been receiving attention.
At an internet community on the afternoon of Oct. 21, a set of photos was posted along with the title, “Kim Hyun Joong saying cheers with fans at a chicken shop even when it’s not a fan meeting”.
In the photo, Kim Hyun Joong is shown clanking glasses with a crowd that has filled up the chicken shop to the fullest. The influx of people coming into and surrounding the chicken shop heightens the reality of Kim Hyun Joong’s great popularity.
The netizen who posted explained the situation at that time with, “The live reality after the fan meeting! Kim Hyun Joong, who visits the chain store of the chicken shop that he and his friends operate and says cheers with fans and ordinary citizens alike! He didn’t pay any heed to others’ eyes and left after eating well with staff.”
Upon seeing this post, netizens have shown reactions such as, “His personality is really nice. I’m envious of the people there,” and “He’s cool because he doesn’t have the celebrity disease.”

YG Entertainment said they will take legal action against vicious rumor spreaders after 2NE1’s Park Bom, Minzy, and Dara were recently involved in false drug scandals.
The false rumors first started spreading after E-Sens of Supreme Team was arrested for smoking marijuana a couple days ago. Shortly after his arrest, Korean press reported there was a black list of star celebrities who smoked pot in Korea and it would be made public soon. One of the names rumored to be on that list was Park Bom, and later the rumor grew into include other 2NE1 members too, as it quickly spread through Twitter and Facebook.
“Park Bom has absolutely nothing to do with that list. It’s completely false so we just didn’t pay any attention to the rumors. But people started taking it as the truth and so we decided to address the issue with harsh legal measures,” YGE said.
“The initial rumor-spreader is currently being investigated by the Korean cyber police. We will also file a defamation lawsuit against some of the Korean press that falsely reported on this without enough fact-checking,” YGE added.
Meanwhile, YGE has passed screening to go public on the KOSDAQ (Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations), a trading board of Korea’s stock market, and is expected to be listed by later this month. However, following recent drug scandals involving some of its top artists, YGE’s initial public offering is expected drop nearly 10%.

Afterwards Big Bang will start doing Korean promotions after their YG Family Concert on December. Daesung will also join the concert.

In a recent interview, Big Bang’s Daesung opened up about his feelings for the first time since being involved in a car accident last May. He held an interview session with his church, Pyung Gang Jaeil, on October 2, which was posted on the church’s website as well. “It was extremely painful for me after the accident. I almost thought, ‘If I didn’t have faith in God, I might have done a lot of bad things.’ After the toughest three, four days of my life, I met the head pastor of my church. He encouraged and relieved me, and after that, I felt much at peace of mind. Since then, the only place that made me feel truly comfortable was the church,” Daesung said. He continued, “A lot of celebrities have been committing suicide lately, and I started to understand why. This is why celebrities commit suicide, I thought to myself. Not that I thought about hanging myself, but I did feel like I could have made the decision to do so.” In particular, he said, “Back then, every single comment on the Web felt like it was drilling my heart. The toughest thing was being called a ‘murderer.’ For a while, it felt like people viewed me as a ‘murderer.’” “Anyways, it was my mistake, and I felt so bad for the victim, so I just kept praying. I would just start praying and say, ‘I’m sorry,’ but wouldn’t say a single word after that. For 20 minutes, I would just repeat ‘sorry’ and continue to cry. I was really feeling a lot of pressure. But I was involved in the accident and I brought tears to their family so it felt like I obviously had to visit the victim’s funeral. I couldn’t even look at their faces, but they were the one’s who actually comforted me,” he added. “Back then, I was just so out of it, but after some time, everything kind of settled down. During that time, I focused on the habitat community work and was able to reaffirm my faith in God. During the habitat work, the thoughts of the accident didn’t come to mind at all. The thought of, ‘If I work this hard, I’m sure God will like it. He will lead me to the right way,’ encouraged me to move on every day,” Daesung said. He also mentioned G-Dragon in the interview. “Because I almost lived at church, G-Dragon told my manager that he wanted to come visit me one day. All Big Bang members are close friends, but G-Dragon is the leader and always tries to take care of me.” Reflecting his quick recovery, Daesung is slowly preparing for his comeback. First, he will have his comeback stage at the YG Family Concert in December, and his upcoming drama “What’s Up,” which was filmed before the accident, is also scheduled to air in December. We will keep you updated on Daesung, so please continue to show him support!

The Korean Men's Association has filed a petition for an injunction against the film, "You're My Pet."
The Korean Men's Association posted a link on their homepage to a legal petition that will force "You're My Pet" to cease from playing in theaters. They voiced that the film is degrading to men and the concept of a female "owner" and a male "dog" is sexist and inhumane. They also emphasize their point by asking how people would react if the role was reversed and it was a male owner and a female dog. They ended the note by saying that these kinds of concepts should not be treaded upon, even if it is for entertainment.
"You're My Pet" is expected to hit theaters on November 10 and the VIP premiere was held on November 1. You can read more about the synopsis here.
Sources from the film addressed this matter by saying, "We haven't fully looked into this as of right now. After a thorough investigation, we will search for a countermeasuring plan."
Here is the full translation of the petition:
Petition For an Injunction Against "You're My Pet" Starring Jang Geun Suk and Kim Ha Neul
The film, "You're My Pet," which will open on November 10, is a self-acclaimed "romance (?)" about a female "owner" and a male "dog," and their relationship between an owner and a pet.
It is evident that many people have expressed interest in this film through viewing clips of the previews. Then we will ask the female population of those viewers. If the role of the "pet" was given to the female, and if the female "dog" had to obey and heed to a male "owner," would this movie still be considered to have romance and melodrama?
Half of the world consist of females and half consist of males. It's not difficult to think about being in the others' shoes and in order for males and females to coexist, it is necessary to do so.
"The Good Tramp, The Bad Tramp, The Weird Tramp" (referencing to the film "The Good Guy, The Bad Guy, The Weird Guy," starring Lee Byung Hun and Jung Woo Sung) Can you imagine a movie like that?
A female "owner" and a male "dog" -- Perhaps some people will say that we're making a big deal out of something that was created for fun. However, a person's character should not be defiled, even if it is for fun. Furthermore, love can overcome the difference between wealth and poverty, education, social status, age and nationality. However, love is possible only on the premise of having the dignity and value for each human being.
Females, if you enjoyed the notion of a male who is attentive and listens to you like a "dog" then please think about the notion of begging like a "dog" for love from a man.
The Korean Men's Association has filed a petition of injunction against the film, "You're My Pet," to the Seoul Central District Court - file number 2011-2720.
A container that holds water is a water pitcher. A container that holds alcohol is an alcohol bottle. A container that holds garbage is a garbage can.The smallest wisdom that chooses good movies to watch may cleanse the mind.Thank you.
What do you think? Is the concept of "You're My Pet" inappropriate and degrading?

Recently on an online community posted a page from an Italian magazine comparing the two international figures. A blown up picture from the DBSK "Mirotic" days reveals a loosely clad Jaejoong showing off his sculpted abdominal muscles, grabbing the attention of many female readers. The Italian word for "beautiful" is "bello," however under Jaejoong's picture is written in big bold font "bellissimi."

Netizens have responded: "Even people in Italy know Jae Joong? That's crazy" "A face that's recognized internationally" "Why is only Jaejoong's picture that big?" "Yay Jaejoong! He came out in a French magazine before, and now Italy?" So Kim Jaejoong versus Robert Pattinson - Who's your pick? emotion_kirakira
