201301040946322227_1

Professional baseball players from team LG Twins, Lee Dong Hyun and Bong Jung Keun, appeared on Shindong‘s “SimSimTapa” radio programme.

They were asked, “Who is your favorite girl group member?” Lee Dong Hyun answered SNSD’s Jessica, while Bong Jung Keun named Sandara Park without hesitation.

I don’t know if you guys remember, but Bong Jung Keun has already revealed his admiration for Dara way back in 2010 while 2NE1 was doing their promotions for To Anyone. He said in his me2day interview that “Among the 2NE1 members, I care for Sandara Park the most, because she seems too cute.” Kekeke! He also left a message for Dara, “I have not applied to be (me2day) friend yet! Dara-yang, I hope you won’t mind if I apply ~~ jyo?? (↗↗Dara tone) (Ah, you have auto-accept on, right? ke ke ke)” ^^

I just love loyal fanboys! It’s been two years, but seems like Bong Jung Keun’s torch for Dara is burning as bright as ever!

Article: NY Times – Pop’s Big Nights; The Best Concerts of 2012 (2NE1 and BigBang at #2)

Screen shot 2012-12-27 at 8.20.13 AM

A concert is always more than just a rendering of songs. It’s a musical revamp, a real-time test, a spectacle, a pop-up community, perhaps a dance party or an incipient riot — and, even in the YouTube era, an ephemeral, site-specific experience. Here the pop and jazz critics of The New York Times recall some of their favorite live events of 2012, in order of importance.

#2 – 2NE1 and Big Bang

2NE1 Aug. 17, and BIGBANG Nov. 8, both at Prudential Center, Newark. This was the year K-pop arrived — not in the form of “Gangnam Style,” which was everywhere and yet completely evanescent — but in these arena shows, which were full of thousands of young, paying fans eager to see the girls of 2NE1 and the boys of BigBang, groups with zero American hits between them, but rabid American followings all the same.

20121219_yg (1)

YG Entertainment has revealed some more hints about their upcoming plans for 2013!

Yang Hyun Suk himself stated, “During the first half of this new year we will be focusing on the album production and promotions for Lee Hi2NE1, and YG’s new girl group… If all goes as planned, then I want to reveal our new boy group as well in the last half of the year. However, this date is just a wish of mine as a producer and I hope the fans will take this as more of a hint rather than a promise.

He also revealed some details on the upcoming boy group, stating, “The members of this new boy group are between the ages of 16~18, and have all been training for more than two years and are extremely good… For the past two years they have been training with Kang Seung Yoon.

As ‘Superstar K2‘s Kang Seung Yoon was previously said to be getting ready for a solo debut, Yang Hyun Suk clarified, ”Although Kang Seung Yoon will be releasing his solo debut album during the first quarter of next year, we will not nail him as only a solo artist,” revealing that he may be included in the boy group as well.

He also added, “Ever since he entered YG, he has improved tremendously in dancing… He will release his first solo album before or after February, and will show just how much he has changed while under YG… His new image will be different from his ‘Superstar K’ image.
