The Minho of SHINee clarifies that he didn’t really kiss Dara. It was just a camera trick. ^_^ However, it doesn’t change the fact that most of the boys kissed her on the cheek! How cute is Taemin saying, “Sandara Park Noona-ssi!” Kekeke!
Bonus: Key dances to 2NE1’s “I Am The Best”

Idol Group: SNSD Taetiseo, 2NE1 “Top 2 rumble”
The most elite groups in the idol world is set to make comebacks. SNSD’s sub-unit would be going first, with the activities and promotions of TaeTiSeo, composed of members Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun. The group’s song “Twinkle” is set to be released via iTunes on the 29th. They will be making their comeback performance on May 3, on Mnet’s “M Countdown.” The girls would be showing a mature side, with a different feel from the songs they are more known for.
On the other hand, 2NE1 is set to make a comeback during the end of May. In particular, it has raised significant interest because they have been working with the leader of the Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am who is also the producer of their US debut album. Interest is hot because it has been said that this comeback would also herald 2NE1’s launch in the United States.

As hallyu idols are overwhelmingly entering the foreign markets YG artists are showing off their overwhelming power worldwide through the music video market.

According to YouTube the record received until April 25 for ‘Blue’ is 19,280,000 views, ‘Fantastic Baby’ received about 17,800,000 views, and ‘Bad Boy’ received about 11,850,000 views. Considering that these music videos have only been released two months ago the number are quite astonishing. Also the first music video of the title song ‘Blue’ broke through 10 million views within 10 days of its release.
2NE1 along with Big Bang is recording massive views of 40,350,000 through one music video ‘I Am The Best’ released last year. The video has continuously been receiving one million views a day shortly after its release predicting its sensation. ‘I Am The Best’ was awarded second place for Most Viewed Music Video and Top Favorited Video of the year in 2011 according to worldwide views. And recorded a total of over 1.6 million views in over two days also was placed in the top 10 most viewed in France, Hong Kong, Sweden, Taiwan and Mexico revealing their worldwide influence.
The information that was gathered at the time of Big Bang and 2NE1 alone of various videos showed that total YouTube views have already broke through 500million. The total YouTube views last May recorded a total of 430 million views and if we included Big Bang’s 5th mini-album and 2NE1’s ‘Lonely,’ ‘I Am The Best’ then the total number of views will already swept beyond 500 million views.
Just as YouTube video site view proves their rising popularity beyond Korea reaching all over the world. Such result is possible through Big Bang and 2NE1’s musicianship that is acclaimed to be beyond idol’s limit and the fact that their music and performance videos have been recognized as worth noting by the worldwide music fans. The fact that YG’s music genre based off of hip hop is noted to be closest to the global trend has also played a large benefit as well.

Dressing Up Mix And Match, The “Golden Age” Of Sneakers
At the subway in the mornings, on their way to work, you can see women wearing sneakers paired with their formal wear. While older women prefer their killer heels and not-too-bold fashion, young women find the comfort of sneakers more attractive.
On the 25th, the Hyundai Department Store, shoes department, reported an increase in 10% with sneakers and flats, on the other hand, there was a reported decrease in 8% for high-heeled shoes. It seems that the golden age of comfortable sneakers has come.
◇ If you want to be more luxurious, sport branded luxury shoes
Other than comfort, there’s also a demand for luxury. The high interest in sneakers have led luxury brands to produce shoes that meet the demand. Last year, 2NE1’s Sandara Park, Big Bang’s TOP, and Kara’s Goo Hara, were known to sport Chanel shoes last year. The price of these shoes amounts to 120 million won, as exposed to the media. But despite the shoes being an expensive product, there was a high interest in buying them and it has become a hot item.
In addition, Paris Hilton, the heiress of the US hotel line, Hilton Hotels, also wears Chanel shoes when going out to the gym, and it became a hot topic with the netizens.

Haha! They should look at YG Family’s Louboutins. Specially Dara, who looks like she’s collecting them. Keke! :3 Those are expensive too. But the thing is, Chanel is a luxury brand, which only started making sneakers… So it’s something new. Whereas Loubs have always been a luxury brand for shoes. ^^
