Sunye at her father’s funeral wake
Wonder Girl's Leader Sun ye
We reported earlier that Sunye’s father who was suffering from a long term illness had passed away.
Sunye has been at her father’s funeral wake since early morning of June 24th at the Asan Medical Center.
At around 11:10am, one could hear a hymn coming out of the room that Sunye was in. Sunye, who is a devoted Christian, sang with all her heart, and one could hear her genuine emotions of sadness in her hymn.
Later, when Sunye came out of the room and came face to face with the reporters, she looked very pale. She tried to smile, but her smile was as empty as it could get. A reporter said that it seemed like all her energy was drained out.
The wake will take place for three days and on June 26th, Sunye’s father will finally come to rest at the Christian Gold Park.
You may be familiar with Sunye’s passionate love for her father because she had mentioned him quite a few times before. On a recent episode of Family Outing Season 2, Sunye even shed tears while reading a letter to her father.
A representative of JYPE said, “Sunye is going through a very difficult time because her love for her father was exceptional. She cried a lot so she is physically weak as well. We will discuss about Sunye’s schedules and tours at a later date.”

News: SS501’s leader Kim Hyun Joong is spending his vacation in Cebu, Philippines.
Here’s a little info of Kim Hyun Joong’s whereabouts after he had his concert with B2st @ Araneta Coliseum last Saturday, June 19, 2010. The news comes from “Banat News” newspaper today, June 22, 2010. It’s a local newspaper written in Cebuano/Visayan Language. (It’s not in tagalog the spoken language in Manila aside from English). I live in Cebu, and was surprised by this news. He’s probably staying in Imperial Palace Hotel or in Shangri-la Mactan Resort & Spa. They are both famous hotels where most celebrities stay whenever they visit Cebu. Imperial Palace aims to serve korean guests more than local guests because it is owned by a Korean.
"Ji Hoo is in Cebu" by: Banat News
English Translation:
Jihoo is here in Cebu
Kim Hyun Joong or much known as Ji hoo from the popular drama “Boys Over Flowers” shown in ABS-CBN last year is here in Cebu. He came here via Cebu Pacific Plane last Sunday afternoon from Manila, and was believed to be staying in one of the famous hotels here in Mactan, Lapu-lapu to have his vacation.
English translations by: Ameeh
A little knowledge:
Map of Cebu
On the left picture encirled in Red, that’s where Ji Hoo is currently staying a small island connected by 2 bridges from the province of Cebu surrounded by beaches.
I was shocked/surprised when i read the news, even though he’s staying in the place where I live it would still be difficult to go hunt for him. ROFL.
Kim Hyun Joong! Wherever you are, let me see you before you leave Cebu!^_^

They’ve also evolved as fashion icons: In their new single “2 Different Tears,” the Wonder Girls fast-forward their retro aesthetic, jumping two decades to the ’80s.

(SS501) Kim Hyun Joong Interviews in Philippines [english subbed)
Yay!. I’m back on Kim Hyun Joong updates after his successful concert with B2ST. Kim Hyun Joong appeared in various shows on GMA and had a few interviews while he was in Manila. I’m thankful that Kim Hyun Joong & B2st came here in the Philippines. I’m just into SS501 right now, and i’m soo happy to hear their leader coming here although I won’t be able to see him. The first thing he said when he arrived was that he love the fresh scent of the place. lols. So cute of him to say that^_^
Below are the videos about Kim Hyun Joong:

Now on my comments:
Among all the interviews he had, none of them said anything about him as playing one of the lead role in the famous drama “Boys Over Flowers”. In my opinion, he wouldn’t be that famous without that drama here, even though there are SS501 fans (Triple S). It’s just a sad fact that the hosts can’t say it live on air on how much the Filipinos loved his drama “Boys Over Flowers”. Even so, I hope they were able to tell Kim Hyun Joong about that off-cam. We are happy that another korean celebrity has visited the Philippines, so we are also looking forward not only to their interviews but also on how the hosts treated them. How the MC’s made them feel that they are really popular here in the Philippines. I just hate it when I hear them mentioning Kim Hyun Joong’s name in a disrespectul way (or so I think). They keep on calling him “Kim” which is his family name. And for me, it ain’t right. FYI, in Korea, saying the family name alone is very disrespectful, it should be the full name with Mr/Ms. or the Given name. It’s not only me who got annoyed by this fact, watch those vids on youtube and you’ll see a lot of fans hurt because of the hosts calling Kim Hyun Joong “Kim”. It’s not hard to pronounce “Hyun Joong” right?. For the Host’s mistake not to happen again, they should do a research and learn to respect. All of the interviews done by Kim Hyun Joong are from GMA by the way.
Just like ABS-CBN, when 4Minute performed in Wowowee, Mariel (the host of Wowowee), though having a hard time pronouncing their names did her best to say it in the right and respectful manner. So I say, GMA, do your research and learn from ABS-CBN

I’m happy that there’s a subgroup of Afterschool, it’s an oppurtunity for these girls to show more of their talent. I hope all groups would be like them, you know, showcasing more of the individual member’s singing and dancing talents. Just like 2ne1, they got a chance to have solo songs like Dara’s “Kiss” and Bom’s “You and I” also Minzy and leader cl’s “Please Don’t Go”. ^_^ The concept is awesome, kawaii, japanese inspired costumes for Orange Caramel.

(SS501) Kim Hyun Joong Arrival in Manila, Philippines + B2ST performing Shock on “Diz iz it”
Kim Hyun Joong
B2ST / Beast
yey! B2ST together with SS501’s leader Kim Hyun Joong finally arrived here in the Philippines.
I’m happy that another kpop group visited philippines! Kpop groups are slowly invading the philippines now.
Kim Hyun Joong arrived yesterday june 18,2010 and was interviewed by the GMA network. It’s a sad fact that GMA is again the official media partner for showing kim hyun joong and B2st. GMA are going to interview them tonight during 24 oras, I just wonder how are they going to express Kim Hyun Joong’s popularity here without mentioning his drama “boys over flowers” which was shown in ABS-CBN, rival network of GMA. LMFAO. grrr. I really hate it!! Why do they chose to appear in GMA or why their company chose gma as their media partner. (As you all know or some of you may know, few people watches gma) If another kPOP group come here in the Philippines I hope they’re going to choose ABS-CBN. Anyways, enjoy the video with english translation.

lols at Hyun Joong! Buying sunglasses at Duty Free. Obviously he forgot to bring his own (hmm, i wonder why)
B2ST performing Shock on “Diz iz it” on GMA. They should’ve performed in “Showtime” @ ABS-CBN. Most Filipinos watch ABS-CBN than GMA….I know B2st but I don’t know any member from them and I don’t even listen to their song. I’m more like an MBLAQ fan^_^. geez, how are they even going to increase their popularity if they perform on shows where a few people only watch?!. Please next time, please peform on ABS, please!!

note: sorry for bashing GMA,if you’re a Kapuso.
U-Kiss holds successful concert in the Philippines
On June 14th, boy band U-Kiss held a successful concert at the Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines. The concert was originally supposed to be held on May 29th but was postponed to June 14th. SS501’s Kim Hyun Joon was scheduled to be in attendance to support his brother Ki Bum, but he couldn’t make it due to SS501’s comeback obligations back in Korea.
This was their first concert and the boys seemed to be excited as they tweeted:
Our first concert was such a special day for us and I even cried tears of joy because I was so touched by everyone’s love~ ^^ THANK YOU~ ♥

Wonder Girls “2 Different Tears” Compilation
credits: CR15C0
A compilation of Wonder girls live performances for their song “2 Different Tears”. This is one of the reasons why I love kpop. Their stages & outfits only appear for about 4 minute and they never use it again. Kpop group performs 4 times a week in different stations (Mnet, KBS, MBC and SBS), every week there are around 20 performers. So in a span of 1 week, there’s 80 different stages & outfits. In a month there are 320 huge stages made. WOAH! so where are they keeping all those things?. Kpop is A-MAZING
I miss the wonder girls so much. ATM, they’re still promoting their songs in America & in Asia. Since they debuted in America, I notice that many fansites are closing probably because wonder girls are out in Korea which means less updates.
(ss501) Kim Hyun Joong and Beast in Manila on June 19
BEAST
Kim Hyun Joong
Pinoy K-Pop lovers rejoice! Korean Wave or Hallyu is definitely sweeping across the country like storm.
And the K-Pop fever in Manila is expected to reach a feverish 38°C as Korea’s hottest idol Kim Hyun Joong is coming to Manila together with Korean boy group BEAST for a concert titled “K-Pop Meets P-Pop: Kim Hyun Joong and Beast Live in Manila” at the Araneta Coliseum on June 19, 7pm.
Kim Hyun Joong is famous in the Philippines for his role as Yoon Ji Hoo, the calm and charismatic gentleman of F4, in the hit Korean drama series “Boys Over Flowers.” BEAST is one of the most prominent Korean boy groups that captured the hearts of fans with their oozing talents and chart-topping hits.
Kim Hyun Joong is also active in his singing career as the leader of SS501 which debuted in Korea in 2005. Their songs such as “Snow Prince,” “Fighter,” “Déjà Vu,” “A Song Calling For You” and “Love Like This” received so much love and support from their fans both in Korea and abroad.
In fact, despite language barriers, Filipinos love to sing their songs “Because I’m Stupid” and “Making A Lover” which are included in the “Boys Over Flowers” OST. Their song “Love Like This” is steadily climbing its way to the top of the MYX Chart. It is currently placed on Number 8 on the MYX Hit Chart (May 23 – 29) and Number 7 on the MYX International Top 20 (May 22 – 28).
BEAST is composed of Doo Joon, Hyun Seung, Jun Hyung, Yo Seob, Gi Kwang and Dong Woon. The members’ musical and dancing prowess proved to be the group’s greatest strength – Doo Joon (leader, vocalist and rapper), Hyun Seung (vocalist, lead dancer), Jun Hyung (main rapper, vocalist), Yo Seob (main vocalist), Gi Kwang (lead vocalist, main dancer) and Dong Woon (vocalist).
BEAST means Boys of the East Standing Tall. Their albums include “Beast Is The B2ST” and “Shock Of The New Era.” Their popular songs are “Bad Girl,” “Mystery,” “Shock” and “Special.”
Although they only debuted last year, BEAST has already earned awards like the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism: Rookie Music Award, Cyworld Digital Music Awards: Rookie of the Month (“Mystery”) and 19th Seoul Music Awards: Best Newcomer Award.
The songs from their second mini-album “Shock Of The New Era” were strong contenders in the Korean music chart. “Shock” was Number 1 on Cyworld’s Music Realtime chart. Their other songs were also on various music charts like “Take Care of My Girlfriend” (Say No) was Number 10, “Just Before Shock” was Number 13, “Easy” was Number 14 and “Special” was Number 19.
“K-Pop Meets P-Pop: Kim Hyun Joong and Beast Live in Manila” is produced by Underwood Plan and Viva Concerts and Events. The concert is for the benefit of Abiertas House of Friendship – for the benefit of young mothers.
Ticket prices are available at P7,840 (Patron A), P6,720 (Patron B), P4,480 (Lower Box), P3,360 (Upper A), P1,680 (Upper B) and P784 (General Admission). Pretty expensive but it’s nothing to kpop lovers

Sohee and Yoobin also had their moment with KyungLim. KyungLim invited the girls for ice cream once since they looked hot. Inside the store, KyungLim told the girls to pick whatever they liked and Sohee asked if she could get the $0.70 ice cream. Upon hearing Sohee’s question, Yoobin slowly puts down her $0.50 ice cream to grab a $0.70 one. KyungLim’s story caused much laughter in the set.
KyungLim then adds on how much Wonder Girls treats her as a family. She claims that, “When I saw them a while later, other than the fact that we never lived together, they treated me like family. They have lots of affection.”
