If a picture speaks a thousand words, then a video should speak a million. Judging by the photos alone, I can already tell that 2009 SBS Gayo Daejun is going to be one helluva night you do not want to be missing out on.
Yoon Eun Hye and Nichkhun get down in a club. Why? For the newest Cass CF, the same brand Sandara Park filmed with Lee Min Ho.
The two grind it up on the dance floor and prove they are one good looking couple. And judging from the still shots, it seems like there's going to be some interesting drama in this one, just like there was for Dara and Lee Min Ho.
The Cass CF music video featuring Dara and Lee Min Ho gained a lot of love and attention - we're sure this one will as well.
Yoon Eun Hye is sporting a sexy low cut club dress and Nichkhun is wearing some kind of sparkly jacket, which Yoon Eun Hye should've been rocking instead.
Check back soon, the music video will be released in early Jan 2010.
Despite the never-ending issues that SM Entertainment is cooped up with at the moment, they have decided to continue the activities of Super Junior by putting them on the stage for the SBS Gayo Daejun, which will take place on the 29th.
Of course, the trio - Hankyung, Kangin, and Kibum - will be excluded from this performance, due to various reasons ranging from lawsuits to DUI.
According to a related source, the members were actually a bit shaky about whether they should appear on the stage or not, but they decided to keep the promise between them and the fans by performing.
However, Super Junior-M's attendance for year-end events for China have all been canceled due to Hankyung's lawsuit. SM then offered to replace Super Junior-M with Zhang Liyin and Henry but it has been turned down by the local organizers.
SM Entertainment has been plagued with scandal after scandal this year.
With the recent report from Sohu.com claiming that SNSD members were a main factor for Hankyung wanting to leave Super Junior, SM Entertainment has released an official statement that the report was completely fabricated.
On the 27th, SM Entertainment stated:
"The reports regarding SNSD are completely false. It's extremely disappointing and upsetting that such a report would surface between the members of our own family."
In regards to Hankyung's absence on the December 26th year end MBC Music Core special:
"Hankyung is currently in China, most likely it will be difficult for him to attend year end shows."
Stay tuned for more developments on Hankyung vs. SM Entertainment.
A Chinese media site previously reported that Hankyung had problems with SNSD, but now another Chinese media site has caught on and defamed the article as the work of antis.
According to the new post, it looks like it was all a classic play of out of context quotes.
The original article pointed out a lot of situations that had arisen between SNSD and Hankyung, but every one of those situations was refuted and disproved.
----------------------------
The previous article was just the work of antis trying to frame SNSD. The original article was posted on a Chinese fan site and a shady media source published it.
Original article:
Back when Super Junior debuted, they had an interview with a Korean media source. When they were interviewed, Hankyun was asked, "Have you met any problems while working in Korea?" Hankyung responded positively, but Heechul added, "There was one time when we were in the dressing room and SNSD came in and seeing Hankyung's yellow hair, Taeyeon shouted, "Oppa what did you do? Do you think that you look Korean with yellow hair?"
New Source:
The truth is that Hankyung had yellow hair in 2006 while SNSD debuted in 2007 (when Hankyung had white hair). Because SNSD hadn't even been active while Hankyung had yellow hair, how would they be using the same dressing room?
Original Article:
On a variety show, Hankyung was introduced as a multi-talented artist and he showcased a Chinese folk dance.
Taeyeon said, "Oh is Chinese folk dance this simple?" While Jessica added, "Even kids can do a dance like that!"
All 9 girls started laughing.
New Source:
Hankyung has only performed a Chinese folk dance 3 times in Korea, and 2 of those times were before SNSD debuted! The third time he performed, the only female music guest was Lee Sooyoung (not SNSD's Choi Sooyoung)
Original Article:
During an SM Town interview, the interviewer asked Hankyung if he was teaching people how to speak Chinese when SNSD said in a mocking tone, "We're teaching him Korean instead." SNSD was rude and used a disrespectful tone throughout the interview.
New Source:
There was no SM Town interview with the two together. What the quotes were taken from was a SNSD exclusive interview by TOM娱乐.
The interview went like this:
Interviewer: "I've heard that you've been learning Chinese from Hankyun. Has he been helping you?"
Tiffany: "We don't get to meet him very often and when we do we exchange greetings. We ask members he's close to about his recent activities." Hyoyeon: "We're promoting in Korea so shouldn't we be teaching him Korean?"
All this was said in a polite and respectful tone.
Original Article:
YoonA said to Hankyung when they first met, "Why are you Chinese flocking to Korea? You're in SM because you have looks right? I really don't understand. I thought China had a huge market." Heechul stated in a Japanese interview that he was dissappointed in YoonA's words.
New Source:
There has been no such incident. This is purely fiction created by antis.
Another rumor debunked. It's a good thing that all these false rumors were cleared up quickly and effectively. SM doesn't need anymore drama, don't you agree?
Many thanks to chu_o0o_pa_o0o_chup for the translation!
A Chinese news site reported what seems to be a rumor about Hankyung and SNSD. Long story short, the article indicated that Hankyung's real reason for wanting to terminate his contract was not just an unfair contract, but mistreatment by SNSD members.
Many Korean fans are questioning whether or not this story on sohu.com was created to intentionally hurt SNSD. Sohu.com reported:
Hankyung wants to leave SM Entertainment not only because of his contract, but because of the mistreatment from other artists of the company. It's been reported that he has been receiving hurtful comments from SNSD for some time. He was disregarded by people after working very hard and developed psychological disorders.
Sohu.com continued,
Because of the disorders, he wanted to take a break but they denied his request. SNSD has always been sarcastic and used satire against him. For example, they would say to him, "Oppa! Do you think you can look Korean by dyeing your hair blonde?" Comments of this nature hurt Hankyung and he couldn't take it anymore.
One netizen said, "It seems like Chinese press is trying to make Koreans look bad. This is an article that is trying to twist the truth."
So what do you think? Is there a hint of truth in this story or is it absolutely ridiculous?
