2NE1′s Big Dome concert confirmed!
It is confirmed! K-pop girl group 2NE1 is scheduled to hold a full-length concert in the Philippines on May 15. Their show entitled “THE PARTY” will be held at the Araneta Coliseum, the same venue of the recently concluded Super Show 3 (SS3) featuring Super Junior. Pulp Live Productions, the same company who brought in SS3 is bringing in 2NE1.
The concert marks the return of 2NE1 memberSandara Park or Dara to the Philippines.

ZE:A cast as leading roles for Japanese-Korean collab movie, ‘RONIN POP’
Rookie idol group ZE:A have landed themselves a big screen debut!
According to a report by Japan’s Sankei Sports on January 16th, “Popular Korean group ZE:A has been cast as the leading roles for ‘RONIN POP,‘ a Korean and Japanese collaboration movie.”
‘RONIN POP’ is an action film that revolves around the power struggle between youths in the aftermath of a nuclear war. The movie features impressive CG and battle scenes, and the boys were recently reported to have shot the movie’s climax at a theme park in Kyungki-do.
ZE:A commented, “We hope we attract a larger fanbase through this movie. In the future, we’d like to become like Arashi, one of Japan’s greatest idol groups, and be loved by many for our singing and acting.”
MBLAQ makes a return to “Inkigayo” with “Stay” + “Cry”!
Continuing with their comeback promotions, MBLAQ appeared on SBS’s “Inkigayo” to perform their two title tracks, “Stay” and “Cry“!

MBLAQ’s Lee Joon is suffering from insomnia and bipolar disorder
Is there any other idol as busy as he is? Busily preparing for MBLAQ’s new album, filming for KBS 2TV’s “Jungle Fish 2,” working on variety programs – it seems like even 10 bodies won’t be enough to complete Lee Joon’s hectic schedule.
Lee Joon previously showed glimpses of his fatigue while appearing on an Mnet program and dozed off while on the show. Viewers began wondering whether he wasn’t putting in enough effort into the show, and said it was right for him to have lost his admission to Seoul University.
Regarding this issue, Lee Joon stated that he felt regretful, but he had a reason. He clarified, “I had no time to rest during that period. I knew that I had to study, but I couldn’t. I have a severe bipolar disorder, and people only saw what was broadcasted on TV. They don’t see the effort behind the screen, such as the late-night rehearsals. No matter how hard I tried, my body just couldn’t keep up with me, so it was very upsetting.”
According to Lee Joon, he has been suffering from bipolar disorder, and recently, has developed insomnia. Despite the physical and mental stress, Lee Joon continues to work hard in improving himself and achieving satisfaction in his work.
“Acting is so fun. I have to work harder on it, but it’s hard to pay too much attention to it when I also have album promotions to do. While on break from the drama, I’d go film for a variety program, and then record for MBLAQ’s album during the 30-minute breaks. I wanted to do at least one thing properly, but I was never satisfied with what I put out.”
Despite having to work under such harsh conditions, Lee Joon stated that he was doing the best he could, and as joyfully as he could. “I’ve suffered from insomnia before my debut. It was fixed for a bit due to the fatigue after our debut, but it has come back recently. I haven’t slept for two days today and went for my script reading. It’s fun, so it’s all right. I don’t think I’ll be appearing on variety programs as often. I’ll be working hard on my drama and making sure our new album is of high quality.”

[UPDATE: Details Added] JYJ’s Hawaii concert cancelled “due to production issues”
According to the official homepage of Entitled Entertainment, JYJ posted an official statement regarding this matter, as they said:
Dear Cherished Cassies,
We regret to inform you that the Hawaii show has been cancelled due to production issues. We are very sorry to our Hawaii fans and are very discouraged, but are trying to stay strong. Our production friends in Hawaii did the best they can to put on the show and did not want to disappoint the fans.
For those of you that have already purchased tickets for the Hawaii shows, you can contact Ticketmaster directly for a full refund at ticketmaster.com.
Amidst all this, we are happy to say that Entitled Entertainment – the management team handling the NY, LA, LV shows – are certain to put on an amazing experience for the JYJ fans.
Thanks for being the best fans in the world and keeping the faith alive.
-Team JYJStay tuned to allkpop for more news on JYJ’s US tour.
Update: With regards to this matter, a representative of JYJ explained to Star News, “It was due to some visa problems and Micky Yoochun’s fatigue.”
Because the members have not yet completed their army services, they must receive visas every time they perform in America, but unfortunately could not receive their visa to Hawaii in time for their concert.
Additionally, JYJ’s agency stated that Micky Yoochun has not been in good health due to his tight schedule of having to simultaneously film for “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” and perform at their showcase in China. JYJ’s representative revealed, “JYJ is scheduled to have a momentary break after their Shanghai showcase on November 6th.”

It’s worth noting that prior to cancelling the concert in Hawaii, JYJ had actually moved the venue from the Blaisdell Arena to the Concert Hall. The biggest difference between the two venues is that the Arena has a capacity is 8,800 in concert setups, while the Concert Hall maxes out at 2,158. At the time of the change of venues, this is the reason they gave:
Why Big Bang are legitimate artists and not just another Hallyu act
Male group Big Bang has successfully differentiated themselves from many Korean artists debuting in Japan by relying on their raw talents alone. Consequently, many believe that the group is leading the new wave of male Hallyu stars because they have firmly established themselves as legitimate artists in Japan.
The group performed at the “Seoul Tokyo Music Festival” on November 3rd, held at the Saitama Super Arena. The festival was created to celebrate SBS’s 20th anniversary, and was a collaboration effort with Japan’s TBS.
Over 16,000 fans in their teens and 20’s gathered to see the performances by Korean artists, but Big Bang’s stage managed to garner the hottest response.
A representative of the festival verified Big Bang’s popularity by stating, “The ‘Seoul Tokyo Music Festival’ was very much like a personal ‘Big Bang Concert.‘” While other artists performed 2-3 tracks at most, Big Bang sang a total of five.
Their success can be seen in other areas as well.
Their ‘Big Show Big Bang Live Concert 2010‘ DVD sold 15,000 copies in the first week of its release, and ranked first in the weekly charts for music DVDs. Its predecessor, the ‘2009 Big Bang Live Concert Big Show‘ DVD, also achieved similar results. Additionally, the group’s first official photo book, ‘Big Bang Presents Electric Love Tour 2010,’ locked down a #1 position on Oricon’s photo book ranking.
When we consider their musical achievements, Big Bang’s debut single last year ranked third place on the ‘Oricon Daily Chart’, while their latest Japanese single, “Beautiful Hangover“, ranked at fifth place on the day of its release. Indeed, all of Big Bang’s Japanese releases landed in the ‘top five’ category.
Big Bang never received a rookie award in Korea, but received one in Japan on May 29th at Tokyo’s “MTV World Stage Video Music Awards Japan,” winning a total of three crowns.
A representative of their Japanese marketing team commented, “Big Bang have been promoting themselves not as Hallyu stars, but as artists. Their strength comes from their high quality, highly talented performances. They’ve never lived in Japan but consistently promoted for at least a week for each of their album releases. The response from their Japanese fans are so amazing, that even we’re surprised.”
Big Bang will be returning to Korea with their participation in “2010 YG Family Concert” on December 4th and 5th.

2NE1 delays their debut Japanese release
Girl group sensation, 2NE1, amped up their Japanese fans with their plans to enter the Japanese music market. After announcing that they were signing under Avex Entertainment, fans waited patiently for further updates.
Unfortunately, Avex recently posted a notice on 2NE1’s official homepage, and said the following:
“We have an announcement about 2NE1’s Japanese release.–
First of all, we received an overwhelming response after announcing 2NE1’s Japanese debut with us, so we would like to thank you for that.
YG Entertainment Japan and Avex Entertainment have decided to delay the release of 2NE1’s Japanese album, originally scheduled for December 8th, in order to meet the high expectations.
To be more specific, we wanted to make sure the content was absolutely satisfactory for their debut in Japan.
It will make the fans wait a little longer, but the company asks for the fans’ understanding, patience, and continued support as they prepare 2NE1’s Japanese debut to meet everyones’ anticipations and expectations.“
Avex also advised fans to disregard any declarations made by “outside sites” about the album being “cancelled”.
Could the girls be planning a completely new tracklist for their Japanese album? Or are they simply perfecting their Japanese interpretations for their previously-released tracks? Either way, we know that with the delay, the anticipation has just increased tenfold!
