IU Expected to Deliver a Baby?



Recently, a photo of an exam question generated a lot of talk among many IU fans. 

A netizen in Korea posted a story titled “IU appears in school exam”. In the exam, a question asks to calculate the delivery date of a 31-year-old pregnant woman named IU,

The question asks,

“If (1) IU, a 31-year-old female, had her last period on Nov 29, 2011, and (2) August in the year of 2012 has 31 days. What would be the correct date for her expected delivery?”

And it lists 5 different dates to choose from.

Although it was a fictional question and the age of the woman who appeared on the exam was some 11 years older than the IU we love, it sure has surprised a lot of IU fans.

Netizens showed various reactions ranging from anger to hollow smiles.

Former K-Pop Star Ayumi in Love with J-Pop Star Gackt?


Ayumi, better known for her time with the K-Pop girl group ‘Sugar’, has been spotted by paparazzi, but she was not alone – she was with the popular Japanese singer Gackt.


According to Sponichi Annex and other numerous Japanese media revealed photos of the couple dating at an upscale restaurant, and made a speculation that they are in a serious relationship.

Interestingly, however, it was not the first time that the media mentioned the possibility of their romantic relationship.

Both agencies for Ayumi and Gackt announced that they are not directly in control with their personal lives.

Yu-na Kim Saddens the Crowd with Bobbed Hair


Yuna Kim wowed the crowd with her bobbed hair. What’s with her new hairstyle? I suspect that her recent lawsuit against her professor made her undergo a change of mind, and is manifested through cutting her hair.




Recently, the Korea Joongang Daily reported that Kim Yu-na filed a libel suit against Professor Hwang Sang-min of Yonsei University, who publically called her practice teaching assignments from Korea University as “mere performances”.

“The practice teaching was nothing but a show performed by a celebrity,” said Professor Hwang during a CBS radio program. “We all know that she is indeed a very busy person. I don’t think Yu-na has attended lectures faithfully, and it is not fair for normal students.

The drama ended as Yu-na Kim dropped defamation law suit against Professor Hwang. Although the law suit is over, people are certain that Yu-na Kim was hurt emotionally. As such, people started showing support by reminding the glorious moments that brought joy to Korea – like when she won the gold medal at the Vancouver Winter Olympics back in 2010.

I know we can only imagine how difficult it would be to live as a celebrity in Korea.

LeeSSang(리쌍) _ Someday (Feat. Yoon Do Hyun of YB)



LeeSSang is back with their 8th album [Unplugged] in commemoration of their 10th anniversary, having fulfilled the "LeeSSang syndrome", "chart all-kill" and "record long-runs" last year.

[Unplugged] contains 13 colors for each of the tracks including the title song "Someday"; "Hard to be Humble" which reproduces the retro band sounds of the 60s and 70s; "My Love" which is a love song with a dreamy and dramatic arrangement; "Hola" giving the impression that one has been invited to a festival in Cuba; "In Search of Happiness" resembling a memoir; "Casanova" which straightforwardly expresses the thoughts of guys at a club on a Friday night; "Gary and Giri's third story" which is an honest story for LeeSSang themselves; "Everyone seems to change" which is a remake of Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter's song with LeeSSang's stylish senses; "I want to cry" by the late Lee Nam Ee; and "Bururi" which is an exquisite combination of rock and hip-hop. The album is direct evidence that LeeSSang has become musicians able to perfectly cover all kinds of music, regardless of genre.


昨年、'リサンシンドローム'、'音源チャート席巻'、'ロングラン新記録'など、見事な成果を見せてきたリサンが、結成10周年を記念して8thフルアルバム[Unpl­­ugged]で帰ってきた。

アルバムのタイトル曲「Someday」をはじめ、60、70年代のレトロなバンドサウンドを再演した「謙遜は大変」、夢幻的でドラマチックな構成のラブソング「君に学ぶ­­(My Love)」、キューバの祭りに招待されたような「HOLA」、一編の回顧録を連想させる「幸せを探して」、金曜日の夜のクラブの中の男たちの心理をストレートに表現した­­「Casanova」、リサンが自分たちに語る真心のこもった話「ケリとギリの三番目の話」、リサンならではの洗練された感覚で名曲を再解釈した春夏秋冬の「人々は皆変­わ­る」、故イ・ナミの「泣きたい」、ロックとヒップホップが絶妙に調和された「Bururi」など13種類のカラーが共存する[Unplugged]。リサンがジャンル­を問­わずどんな音楽でも完璧に消化できるミュージシャンであることを証明してくれるアルバムだ。

작년 한 해 '리쌍 신드롬', '차트 올킬', '롱런 신기록'. 이 모든 성과를 완벽히 이끌어 냈던 리쌍이 결성 10주년을 기념해 정규 8집 [Unplugged]로 돌아왔다.

이번 앨범의 타이틀곡인 'Someday'를 비롯해 60, 70년대 느낌의 복고 밴드 사운드를 재연한 '겸손은 힘들어', 몽환적이고 드라마틱한 구성의 러브송 '너에게 배운다 (My Love)', 쿠바의 한 축제에 초대된 듯한 'HOLA', 한 편의 회고록을 연상시키는 '행복을 찾아서', 금요일 밤 클럽 안 남자들의 심리를 직설적으로 표현한 'Casanova', 리쌍 스스로에게 던지는 진심 어린 이야기 '개리와 기리 세 번째 이야기', 리쌍만의 세련된 감각으로 명곡을 재해석한 봄 여름 가을 겨울의 '사람들은 모두 변하나 봐'와 故이남이의 '울고 싶어라', 락과 힙합이 절묘히 어우러진 'Bururi' 등 13가지의 컬러가 공존하는 [Unplugged]는 리쌍이 더 이상 장르에 구애받지 않고 어떤 음악이든 완벽히 소화할 수 있는 뮤지션이라는 것을 여과 없이 증명해주는 앨범이다.
