| Big Bang To Release A New Track |
Added by: xaosmx | Date: 28 October, 2009 (3 weeks ago) | Views: 32,423 | Source: akp | Suggested by: Miki  Big Bang will release a new track... No, not as their own single, but instead the new track will be for the IRIS OST (soundtrack). Big Bang member T.O.P. is part of the cast for IRIS, so it's no surprise that Big Bang will be doing a track for the hit drama.
The new track will be titled "Hallelujah" and will be released via online music portals on October 28, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. 1TYM member Teddy produced the track and it reportedly was co-written by both Teddy and G-Dragon. |

| Court Rules In TVXQ's Favor |
Added by: xaosmx | Date: 28 October, 2009 (3 weeks ago) | Views: 32,419 | Source: akp | Suggested by: Sodonii96  Earlier today, the court had issued a ruling that SM Entertainment cannot interfere with the individual activities of the three members of TVXQ: Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu.
Basically, SM Entertainment can no longer claim full exclusivity on the three TVXQ members. However, the court was unable to decide on whether the contract is invalid at this point as there were way too many variables.
In response, SM Entertainment has revealed that they will immediately appeal the ruling. SME will also hold an official press conference to disclose the truth and their position regarding this matter, which was never revealed to the media previously.
This case ain't over yet as Sejong law firm, representing TVXQ, will file a lawsuit to be compensated for damages as well as to have the contract deemed invalid.
With the recent developments of this case, many feel confident that TVXQ will be able to continue as a group. We will just have to wait a little longer. |

| Fahrenheit Will Not Disband Before The Contract Has Ended |
Added by: xaosmx | Date: 27 October, 2009 (4 weeks ago) | Views: 26,932 | Source: Liberty Times, Translated by Elvenstar | Suggested by: akicute  Idol group Fahrenheit last weekend had two consecutive concerts for their grand finale. What should of been a happy celebratory party turned into a party surrounding information regarding their contracts and also the question of whether Wu Chun will fly solo. Fahrenheit frankly replied and said that their mood had been affected by the reports, they hope everyone can focus their attention onto their efforts they've put into the concerts.
Wu Chun: Contract has not expired
The question regarding Fahrenheit's contract has been a hot topic, the 4 members came forward to especially explain the situation. Calvin Chen stated "The contract still has 2 years, there's no problem with the renewal of contracts. Within the group, the developments of each member will have their own ups and downs, Fahrenheit's work schedule has always had a schedule for each member and also a schedule for all 4 group members". He also said at present the new album is in the middle of being recorded and they have been continuously taking on advertising endorsements, "Not caring what the outside world says, as long as Fahrenheit exists there will be 4 members". Accused of delaying the renewal of his contract Wu Chun said "it (contract) has been discussed, but the contract hasn't even ended!"
The box office sale for the second show just passable
Regarding the loss of Wu Chun, Fahrenheit would become a crippled ship, Arron Yan humorously replied "Even if we do become a crippled ship, we will not find a new ship." Fahrenheit's 1st show was almost a full turn out, but the 2nd show had only sold about 80% of the tickets, they expressed "Before going on stage we were told about the situation of our box office sales, but to hold how many shows it not something we decide, we're actually a little disappointed but this will make Fahrenheit work even harder, hoping in the next concert we will have more people to come support us." |

| Kim Nam Gil Remains Hospitalized |
Added by: xaosmx | Date: 27 October, 2009 (4 weeks ago) | Views: 24,681 | Source: akp | Suggested by: elenko94  We reported yesterday that Kim Nam Gil and Lee Yo Won had suffered some injuries after falling off a horse while filming for MBC's Queen Seon Duk over the weekend.
While filming a scene which saw Kim Nam Gil and Lee Yo Won rounding a bend while on a horse, the former lost control as the both of them fell to the ground. Lee Yo Won escaped with minor injuries as she landed safely but Kim Nam Gil landed awkwardly and complained of excessive pain around his neck. Filming was temporarily suspended as the both of them were sent immediately to hospital for treatment.
A day has gone by and it was reported that Lee Yo Won has now returned to the filming set although Kim Nam Gil remains in hospital for treatment and observation.
Lee Yo Won's management said on the 26th, "She sustained minor bruises after falling off the horse but is otherwise fit and ready to return to filming. She will proceed as planned with her filming schedule." Fans were afraid for her health as Lee Yo Won had been reported to be in declining health recently.
For Kim Nam Gil, he remains hospitalized for further tests and observation. Kim Nam Gil had hoped to return home and take a rest before resuming filming on the 26th. But upon hearing the doctor's advice, he decided to remain in hospital for further tests.
A representative for Kim Nam Gil said, "He is currently receiving treatment at the Seoul National University. We have decided that it was not worth taking the risk in rushing him back to filming so soon. We will consult the doctors again but the earliest return date for Kim Nam Gil to return to filming will be the 27th if everything goes well."
