This year, TVXQ sets a record on Japanese Oricon Weekly Charts for the most number of “First Place” rankings this year.
The group’s 24th single, “MIROTIC,” was released in Japan on October 15th and on the day of its release, the album took first place on Oricon’s Single and Weekly Charts.
MIROTIC is TVXQ’s fourth single to rank first on the Oricon Weekly Charts, following “Purple Line” (January release), “Beautiful You” (April release), and “How Did I End Up Loving You” (July release).
“This is the first time anyone has ranked first on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart four times in one year,” said a TVXQ representative from SM Entertainment agency. He added, “This has never happened with a Japanese singer, let alone a group from overseas, and it proves that TVXQ has become a top group in Japan, as well.”
MIROTIC is also the title track of TVXQ’s fourth album in Korea, where the song has also proved to be successful. The title track ranked first place for the past two weeks on SBS TV’s “Popular Music” program and on the weekly charts of the music website, “Dosirak.”
WonderGirls will be advancing into American in 2009 as actresses and not just as singers.
WonderGirls were at PIFF on 4th October in Busan. They said, “Even though Wondergirls are participating as singers today, next year we will be involved in a big project in America possibly as actresses .”
And leader SunYe said, “We are currently preparing for a big project in America right now. With so much interest and concern for SoHee’s appearance in movie ‘I Like It Hot’, there are also plans for us in America next year.”
After that, a JYP representative said, “We are preparing for WonderGirls to advance into America not only as singers but also possibly as actresses next year. And Park Jin Young will be leading the girls, though much more cannot be revealed until we have finalised with the plan at a later stage.”
Recently Taiwanese band Fahrenheit were appointed Taiwan’s Goodwill Ambassadors for Tourism and held a press conference in Korea to attract markets there. At the conference they stated would like to work with DBSK in the future, like a joint performance. They commented on the sales of the new album being impressive and also how hardworking DBSK are for performing during the rain for their concert in Taiwan.
Also, they are both going to the Asia Song Festival on October 4th.

I don’t know what to make of this… I’m not into Fahrenheit or anything… But I do think they’re saying this so that they can get a piece of our oppas fans… To put it bluntly… I don’t like them, even if they did comment nicely to our oppas~
Jaejung hero acting challenge, “given a shot/chance to working at acting”
Networks, a joint venture in Japan, will be making a Tele Cinema and first episode is Postman of Heaven. It is a joint drama project of Japan and South Korea. Jaejoong had been interviewed on the 24th (of September? It says something about SM EverySing karaoke). Jaejoong is surprised to being casted for the role. He has read the script and took the role, and said he will work hard for it.
“Postman of Heaven” is going to be produced by ‘I’m Sorry I Love You’ Lee Hyungmin PD and Writer Kitagawa Eriko who wrote “One Million Stars Falling from the Sky” staring Takuya Kimura. The drama is about a messenger who connects the Afterlife with the present world. He will be a mailman who is in charge of sending the death of a friend or family member (of a person) up to heaven. There will be a DVD of this mini-series.
Yunho mentions that Jaejoong was the first out of them to make a solo shot at career, and that in the larger framework they are still DBSK as a whole even when they are doing solo.
The drama is scheduled to be filmed as early as the 10th (October?).
Summary thanks to Google translator xD
Please note from this post that:
This isn’t one of those full dramas with 16 episodes or longer. Korean Producers and Japanese Writers are getting together and producing something called “Telecinema.” There will be 7 episodes each with a different story and Jaejoong will be coming out in the 1st episode. A TV version and movie version will be released, which will be 60 minutes and 120 minutes long respectively. There is no info on when this will air. – s@nbi@soompi
On September 30, So Hee filmed a cameo for episode 8 of MBC’s newest sitcom, “That Person is Coming” at the Ilsan MBC Dream Center. There was reportedly a mob of fans gathered on location just to see the Wonder Girls maknae.
Our cute dumpling appears opposite the main character Lee Jae Young (Jung Jae Yong) as his first love: “Mal Hee”. The actor is probably extremely happy about having So Hee play his love interest. Evidently, Jung Jae Young has expressed his affection for the Wonder Girls, especially So Hee through his show, Jae Yong’s Pure 19.
So Hee made her debut as an actress in last year’s “I Like it Hot” movie. She could be a triple threat, but her talents in acting and dancing far exceed her skills in singing.
Anyway, in the sitcom, Jae Young asks his twin sister, Jae Suk, to set him up with his ideal girl: Wonder Girls’ So Hee. However, Jae Suk instead sets up a date between Jae Young and Mal Hee who looks exactly like So Hee. (O goodness~) Mal Hee agrees to the date because she wanted a little amusement and money (500 won (about 40 cents) – she’s easy and cheap, just how Johnny likes ’em). Producer Kwon Seok explains:
“[So Hee] falls for Jae Young’s appearance in one look, and though the two feel all this love, it becomes a love that they can’t keep.”
See why when the episode airs on October 15 at 7:45 pm (KST)
Not that the news of Rain’s return to the k-pop scene is anything new, but its officially official with the release of his new teaser video, entitled, “Love Story”. Ha Ji-Won also stars in the music video.
This will be his first album under his new company J Tune Entertainment. Magic Feet is actually using his brain for once. He has cleaned up very nicely by getting rid of the ajumma hair style. However, with younger rivals such as DBSK and Big Bang behind his back, he’ll have to keep on his toes to even think of competing with them. I guess coming back to Korea and speaking his native tongue has helped him regain some of his brain cells.
Our Magic Feet has a busy schedule coming up as well, with his new special debuting on the 10th, on M.Net Countdown on the 16th, and performing at the Lotte Family Concert 2 days later…it seems we are going to be seeing much more of the shrimp-eyed wonder.
In the end of the teaser, somehow once again Rain ends up bloody. Oh well, rather this then those nasty pictures from Ninja Assassin floating around the internet.
More pictures and a longer teaser will be released October 2, 2008 but check out what has been released.
