Currently playing a make-believe couple on We Got Married, there’s a possibility that both Jo Kwon and Ga-In could become a real couple after their stint on the show ends.

During the broadcast of Come to Play on the 7th, they were asked if the other person (Jo Kwon/Ga-In) asks you out in real life, would you consider dating in real life. Both of them replied, “Yes.”

Jo Kwon revealed during the show that whenever there’s no recording or filming gets postponed, he would really miss Ga-In nuna. At this point, he would text her, “Nuna, do you miss me?” Ga-In would then reply, “I also miss you.”

Jo Kwon also added that he’s unlikely to revisit places that he has been to with Ga-In with his future girlfriend, leading to cheers from the others.

Ga-In said, “We can still meet even if there’s no recording. But the weird thing is, we don’t mention anything about that. Jo Kwon is an idol, so no matter what, I am still a bit scared regarding his fans. There were fans who left threatening messages on my Cyworld, that they won’t let me off if we become a real couple.”

To commemorate their 200th day of being with each other, the both of them kissed the hands of each other to mark the occasion.

Yoon JongShin then tried to find a topic to keep the phone conversation going between DaeSung and SHINee Onew, and asked, “I’m next to your rival. Who do you think he is? Who is you rival amongst the idols?”
DaeSung answered, “Is he Kim HyunJoong?” Yoon JongShin then said, “You have aged much after all. This is fun.” And when asked, “Are there are rivals in SM members?” DaeSung answered with much variety sense, “SM, not yet. They are all wonderful people.”
Finally a conversation was established between Onew and DaeSung where they talked about musical appearances, however the awkwardness between the 2 is still obvious. The MCs also tried many ways to make the 2 idols closer by getting them to use causal language etc.

Kim HeeChul has once again expressed interests for WonderGirls SoHee.
Kim HeeChul was on MBC FM4U ’2pm Date with Park MyungSoo’ when he was asked, “Is there anyone whom you are interested in?”. His answer was, “I don’t like it that when people are asked such a question they answer that they like everyone. I like being honest. I like female singers like 4Minute, Secret and After School – those who have the cutesy image lately. Awhile ago, WonderGirls returned to Korea and I saw SoHee. She is really someone whose cuteness is just overwhelming. Usually I’m someone who is alright with most females, but SoHee is just really cute.”
Already before this, Kim HeeChul had expressed his interests for SoHee on different variety shows like SBS Family Outing and MBC Come To Play.
Netizens’ comments are “SoHeeChul is just compatible. It’s good if they date”, “He really only like her as a fan?”, “It seems that he really likes her. Cute” etc.

A Korean pop concert held yesterday at the Expo Culture Center caused something of a stampede – reports of how bad it got vary, from the Epoch Time’s rumor that someone died to Shanghai Daily’s blithe announcement that the streets were “blocked by fans.”
If anything, this event was a warning about the power of K-pop: South Korea had planned a “classical and pop” concert that included insanely huge acts – Kangta, BoA and Super Junior, whose Shanghai shows sell out at 10,000+ seated stadiums each year they come. They’re so insanely huge that it almost makes you wonder what organizers were thinking when they arranged that show.
To get in, all you supposedly had to do was get an Expo ticket and line up at the center, an act which, if you’re a student, costs 90RMB. That’s way less than the Super Junior 2009 show’s ticket prices at Yuan Shen Sports Center, where the cheapest you could get in for was 480RMB. Unfortunately, there were only 5000 tickets available, and half of those had already been given to South Korean groups – a fact that eager Chinese K-pop fans hadn’t been made aware of.
By midnight on Saturday, according to Lianhe Zaobao, there were already 2000 people waiting outside the Expo’s Pudong door. Night watch people were blindsided. By the time the limited amount of tickets sold out (The Standard reports there were less than 500), roughly 5000 people were waiting around.
When the crowd realized all tickets were gone, they began to get violent. A witness on the internet said that “several girls were stepped on and over by several guys. So messy, so messy, All the crying and yelling turned into one big wave. There were so many shoes. One girl even fell from the second floor.” The original post has already been harmonized on Tianya. Lianhe says the rumor that this girl died hasn’t been confirmed, though Hong Kong’s Apple Daily seems to be reporting it as fact (watch the YouTube video in that link or below, it has some images of police guards frantically running to contain the crowd).
What they both agree on is that hundreds of people were injured, whether from the pushing and shoving or from heatstroke. The Expo official report itself said that “In the event, several tourists suffered from heatstroke and abrasions and were rushed to nearby medical facilities at the park.” That’s a little more than “blocked by fans,” isn’t it?
Which actually makes me wonder – it seems that Shanghai Daily is still the only China-based paper that’s picked up on the news and their version was way more sanitized than the dozens of Mandarin reports in Chinese media. It almost feels like Chinese media controllers, for the first time I’ve noticed, are more scared about what the outside world thinks than what their own people think.

Super Junior’s Leeteuk revealed a surprising past between him and the Wonder Girls’ Sunye.

In the most recent recording of Yoo Jae Seuk and Kim Won Hee’s Come to Play, five Super Junior members and the Wonder Girls were guests.

At one point, Leeteuk asked Sunye, “Do you remember oppa?”

He explained himself, “Sunye auditioned through a TV show. I’ve been a fan of her since. When that show was over, I saw her at a hamburger place and my heart was beating so fast.”

That’s kind of hilarious to imagine considering the fact that at the time, she was in elementary school and he was in high school. Pedobear approves!

The episode airs on the 31st.

On the recent episode of We Got Married, Brown Eyed Girls‘ Ga-In expressed her jealousy towards Yonghwa and Seohyun’s couple ring.

When Ga-In brought up the topic of getting a couple ring, her on-screen hubby Jo Kwon just pretended to ignore her.

She revealed in an interview, “I could buy it myself if I wanted to, but I don’t think Kwon wants to buy one,” and that “He probably thinks I am wealthy.”

She continued, “Honestly, it is impossible to not be compared with the YongSeo couple now that they bought their couple ring.” It looks like Jo Kwon really needs to step it up on this one.

Despite its cast of popular idols like 2PM’s Taecyeon, SNSD’s Yoona and 2AM’s Jo Kwon, Family Outing 2 has struggled with decent viewership and failed to pull through high ratings.

However, a recent turn of events gave the show the spark it desperately needed.

The episodes aired on the 16th and 23rd raked in 11% and 14.2% viewership respectively, marking progressive improvement in the show’s rating.

Furthermore, the most recent episode, which guest starred international superstars the Wonder Girls, ratings for Family Outing 2 reached an all-time high of 22%.

One of the producers of Family Outing 2 stated, “Because Family Outing 1 received consistently high ratings until the last episode, we acknowledged that creating Family Outing 2 from scratch would be flawed in its own ways. There was great concern that all the viewers would abandon the show. However, we are very thankful that, little by little, people are watching the show again.”

As evident through the ratings the pop quintet brought in with their guest appearance on Family Outing 2, the Wonder Effect is still very much alive in Korea.
