Lee Teuk denies rumors about being in a relationship with Tae Yeon

Super Junior’s Lee Teuk denied on the September 23rd airing of “Radio Star” regarding the rumors of him in a dating relationship with SNSD’s Tae Yeon.

He opened up to the MCs and fellow guest on his recent “couple earring” incidents.

To the “pestering” questions from the MC, he replied, “I personally bought those bunny earrings. In fact, I was the first to buy it. It was purely coincidental that she wore an identical piece.”

Shin Dong added a spice of humor by stating, “If MC Kim Gura wore the earrings, such rumors wouldn’t have popped up.”

SME on SNSD’s Japanese success and future plans

SNSD has certainly taken Japan by storm, garnering over 22,000 fans in their first showcase last month on the 25th. Top broadcasting companies have cast their spotlights on SNSD, who have headlined ‘NHK News Watch 9′ and landed on the pages of various major newspapers such as ‘Yomiuri‘ and ‘Sankei Sports.”

Their first single, “Genie,” even managed to rank in the top 5 of Oricon’s daily chart, competing with other popular stars like Arashi and GLAY. Not only that, but “Genie” showed continued signs of success, steadily climbing the charts into the 4th position on the 2nd day of its release, and reaching 2nd by the 11th day. The single has managed to sell 45,000 copies as of last week, making it the most debut singles a foreign female artist group has ever sold in Japan.

Representatives of Oricon commented, “With many K-pop girl groups entering the Japanese market this year, the true stars of the phenomenon have been leading a good start.”

There’s also been talk in the Japanese media about SNSD making a possible appearance at “NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen,” a music program run by NHK every year on December 31st, inviting only those that best represent that year. SNSD is even a nominee for the ‘Excellent Pop Artist 2010′ award at the ‘Billboard Japan Music Awards.’

Pop culture critic Lee Moonwon reasoned, “It’s because SNSD is expensive. The Japanese recognize the high quality of Korean music and SNSD has managed to capitalize on that.” He continued, “SNSD entered Japan with high quality marketing tactics used by other Hollywood top stars such as Mariah Carey and Madonna.”

The representative of SM Entertainment Japan, Nam Soyoung, revealed, “The majority of Japan’s mass public considers SNSD as artists. They are not just figures of interest but of admiration. Standard Japanese girl groups target the male otaku fanbase and focus on cute concepts. SNSD, on the other hand, has gone for the more luxurious image. About 80% of their Japanese fans are female, and Japanese females stand at the center of their mass culture. Because of such reason, the popularity of SNSD will continue to rise.”

Meanwhile Kim Youngmin, a representative of SME, stated, “We were able to make such a decision because we knew that SNSD’s popularity had reached Japan through internet sites such as Youtube.”

Regardless, there’s also been talk that SNSD was taken over to Japan because their image was already exhausted in Korea. Regarding this, representative Nam Soyoung stated, “No, we waited for the right time. Korea was used as the base in order to form that luxurious image out of their popularity. We waited for it to ripen before we took them overseas.”

She concluded by hinting, “Should everything go accordingly, SNSD will be able to start a country-wide tour in Japan next year.”

If SNSD are able to appear on Kōhaku Uta Gassen and win an award at Japan’s Music Awards, a tour concert seems like a reasonable long-term goal. The girls are set to release “Gee” in Japan on October 20th.

SNSD to be the first stars on ‘gift certificates’

There’s a first time for everything in Korea’s entertainment world. SNSD has expanded the horizon of advertisements by being the first stars to feature on ‘gift certificates’!

These certificates are more like travellers’ cheques, as the carrier could use it anywhere in Korea and are not limited to only one store or department.

The bills will be sold in a set of 10, with nine individual prints and one group print. The value of each certificate is valued at approximately 10 dollars each.

Printing certificates for other stars in the future may become plausible, however it depends on the reception of the SNSD gift certificates in Korea and in major overseas markets like China and Japan.

A new girl group union is created: UG (United Girlgroups)

A new girl group union has emerged named the UG (United Girlgroups). The union includes the representative names of this generation of girl groups such as SNSD / Girls’ Generation, After School, f(x), Rainbow, 4Minute, T-ara, miss A, and Secret. The members all came together in a special interview celebrating Daily Sports‘ 41st anniversary.

With all of the trendy girl groups invited in one room, what kind of questions revealed their dreams and what events made them cry? Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

Journalist: Congratulations on becoming a UG member.

SNSD Sunny: I had no idea Daily Sports was this old. I always thought it was a newer newspaper company… Daily Sports and SNSD has many unforgettable memories together such as us dominating the first page last year when we won the Golden Disk Award. It was such an honor, I have it saved.

T-ara Eunjung: The first thing I think of is ‘drunk talking.’ I had to solve a few current event quiz questions while drunk. Haha.

Journalist: Let’s start the discussion for real now. There’s a lot of rumors saying that the girl groups aren’t close to one another and that there’s a bit of tension.

Rainbow Jaekyung: That’s absolutely not true. We’re all people, you know. Out of everyone present here today, I’m the closest with Hyosung (Secret). We began talking after we started using the same waiting room. We even created a meeting called the ‘Secbow.’

4Minute Hyuna: I’m very close with miss A’s Suzy since we’re both JYPE trainees. We may be competing but I’m always glad to see her whenever we bump into each other at events.

Journalist: Then what about your own team members? What was the most recent fight you had?

SNSD Sunny: The members wanted to go bowling the other day but I said I was tired so I skipped out. They kept nagging at me because of it.

Secret Hyosung: We fight over the littlest things as well. This afternoon, I got upset because I wanted to eat Korean food when we were deciding our lunch menu but the other members wanted Western. I really, really wanted a nice warm stew with rice.

Journalist: While we’re on the topic of food, let’s talk about diets for a second. What do girl groups eat?

4Minute Hyuna: You may not believe it but my nickname is pig. I last through the day with food.

miss A Suzy: I eat a~ lot as well. I eat three meals a day on top of nonstop snacking. When we have a schedule that requires a lot of traveling, I really never stop snacking.

Secret Hyosung: Wow~ I’m envious of that. I get a lot of stress because of my weight. My diet meal plan consists of bananas, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and chicken breasts. I also exercise vigorously with my instructor at the fitness center.

T-ara Eunjung: I also follow a meal plan set up by my trainer. I have to keep it at a maximum of 1,200 calories a day.

Journalist: SNSD’s meal plan was also highly popular as well.

SNSD Sunny: It was false. We never received a meal plan like that. Normally, we eat a lot but go into a sudden burst of dieting right before music video filmings. All of us in SNSD eat well so please don’t worry.

Journalist: You all do have something you don’t like about your physical appearance, right?

SNSD Sunny: My petite height, haha. I recently earned the nickname of ‘Grave Height,’ which basically means that I’ll be short until I die. If I say it like this, I feel like people will search for it so I’ll just explain it here. On KBS 2TV’s ‘Sketchbook,’ I greeted the audience after Yoona. The camera suddenly dropped when it got to my part.

After School Nana: My skin makes me worry. I’m very jealous of f(x)’s Sulli’s clear skin.

4Minute Hyuna: I’m jealous of Nam Jihyun unni’s skin as well. Her no make up face is the best.

Journaist: It’s getting boring, isn’t it? We’re only talking about boring things. Was there ever a time you got angry at your company’s CEO?

4Minute Hyuna: I was sick one day and got in trouble because I couldn’t dance well. I was so upset, I started crying. Still, I love our Hong Seung Sung Cube CEO. Daddy, don’t be mad, hehe.

Secret Hyosung: I rehearsed all day long and was so fatigued but our CEO walked in and kept saying I needed to rehearse more. I held it in, though.

miss A Suzy: I worked really hard on a recording but producer Park Jinyoung graded it a zero.

T-ara Eunjung: Our Kim Kwangsu CEO always nags at us to diet and then takes us out to eat at a really delicious restaurant. Exactly how does he expect us to lose weight…

Journalist: You all have a lot of older male fans as well, yes? When do you begin dividing the difference between an ‘oppa’ and an ‘uncle?’ And how much older are you willing to accept dating wise?

miss A Suzy: An old man, I consider 40 years old? And dating wise, I don’t think age matters but I’m willing to go up to 12 years my senior. Three years younger than me works as well, too.

Rainbow Jaekyung: If they’re not married, I consider them an oppa. If they are, they’re not. And I don’t think age matters as well.

SNSD Sunny: I think style is more important than age. There are a lot of young people that look old..

Journalist: Then what’s your most recent dating experience?

All: Hm… It’s been a while since we’ve dated. (Moment of awkward silence)

Journalist: Please reveal your ideal male celebrity. You cannot name foreign stars.

miss A Suzy: Kang Dong Won. Kang Dong Won no matter what.

Secret Hyosung: Ah! I’m a Kang Dong Won fan as well. Just hearing his name makes my heart flutter. I’ll be able to meet him one day, I hope.

SNSD Sunny: Wonbin for me!!! My man~ I’m going ot marry him some day. Hahaha, I’m asking to be terrorized, aren’t I?

T-ara Eunjung: When I was younger, I liked people with a warm charisma like Park Haeil. I like smaller eyes as opposed to larger eyes as well. Someone that’s good at rap… Ah! I like Big Bang’s T.O.P senior.

Journalist: When was the day you cried the most after debuting?

f(x) Luna: The day we debuted. I began thinking of my trainee years and sat in the waiting room, crying.

4Minute Hyuna: Same for me. I made a comeback with 4Minute after withdrawing from Wonder Girls. A lot of people anticipated a lot from me, but I was so upset that I couldn’t do as well as I wanted to.

Suzy, Nana, Eunjung: The day we won 1st place. We all thought of the pain we went through, and also felt a bit empty.

Journalist: Do you feel happy living life as a girl group member? Have you ever regretted your debut?

Secret Hyosung: I get depressed when I can’t eat delicious food but I’m always happy and excited when I stand on stage.

SNSD Sunny: I want to go hang out with my friends and date so it does get depressing when I can’t. Still, it’s a thrill to hear the support of our fans when we’re on stage.

f(x) Luna: Same for me. I’m sad that I can’t meet my friends but every day is filled with delight.

Journalist: If you could go back in time to before you became a celebrity, what would you do?

SNSD Sunny: I’d like to work part time at a restaurant or cafe. It’d be fun to see such a diverse group of people.

T-ara Eunjung: Me too… I want to observe how everyone lives. I debuted at 16 so I don’t know too much about the outside world.

Rainbow Jaekyung: I want to date as much as I want. And I want to run away from home one day as well.

4Minute Hyuna: I want to go to an amusement park and hang out until I get sick of it.

Journalist: What kind of dreams do girl groups have?

f(x) Luna: To become the world’s best diva.

T-ara Eunjung: Asia’s best Miss A.

After School Nana: I’d like for all of the citizens in Korea to know my name.

SNSD Sunny: A worldwide S! N! S! D!

Journalist: Could you please say something in representation of the girl groups?

SNSD Sunny: I feel that a girl group special interview being included in celebration of Daily Sports’ 41st year anniversary is proof that the level of influence of girl groups have risen drastically over the years. I’m extremely glad to be a part of this girl group union and will work hard around the world in representation of our country.

During the interview, the members were hesitant to answer many questions as they were being eyed by fans and their agency representatives. The following are a collection of the questions and answers that were given while under such observance.

Journalist: Which girl group is the prettiest?

All: Our group! (Points to their own group)

Journalist: Which present was the most awkward to receive?

All minus Sunny: The love of our fans are put in the presents, how can they be awkward?

Sunny: Garlic juice.

Journalist: Were you ever hit on by a male celebrity?

All: You’d think that we’d get hit on often, but never.

Journalist: How much do you have in your bank account?

All: Our parents manage it so we have no idea.

We just kept joking it off, saying it’s because of hubby Yong (CN Blue’s Yong Hwa).”

Yong Hwa & Seo Hyun met and failed to recognize their idol

It appears that CNBlue’s Jung Yong Hwa and SNSD’s Seo Hyun have only got eyes for each other.

On September 11th’s episode of “We Got Married”, the Yong Hwa and Seo Hyun couple visited a sushi boat restaurant.

Ueno Juri, who came to Korea to promote the sequel to her hit film “Nodame Cantabile“, appeared as a sushi chef and met with the couple.

Yong Hwa had picked Ueno Juri as his ideal woman on radio, and Seo Hyun is known to be a passionate fan of hers also.

Ueno Juri, wearing thick-rimmed glasses, seemed to notice them and tried not to reveal her identity.

However, the couple did not recognize Ueno Juri for a long time. Seo Hyun made her nervous when she appeared to have discovered something and said, “I saw it now“, but she was just looking at the price of sushi.

Ueno Juri then removed her glasses and started serving tea, but the couple only recognized the Japanese actress after the owner of the restaurant notified them.

Ueno Juri put on a good act, saying, “Thanks for saying I look like an actress.” She expressed her sadness, saying, “You should have recognized me a bit earlier. It took too long.”

Yong Hwa commented in his interview, “I couldn’t believe my eyes even after I found out it was Ueno Juri.“

YongSeo couple gets a surprise visit from Juri Ueno

Earlier this month, we reported that the Japanese actress Juri Ueno was going to pay a visit to the YongSeo couple. On the upcoming episode of MBC’s “We Got Married”, CNBLUE’s Yong Hwa was able to meet the girl of his dreams…while he was with his wife. How awkward is that?!

Juri Ueno appeared disguised as an assistant chef at a sushi bar. Both Jung Yong Hwa and SNSD’s Seo Hyun never imagined that Juri Ueno would be in a small local sushi bar, and so although she was boldly approaching them, they didn’t recognize her until much time had passed.

Afterward, the YongSeo couple invited Juri Ueno to the home. However, she continued to surprise them, as she was already familiar with CNBLUE and SNSD, and even knew their names and their songs.

So was Yonghwa able to hold his position as husband in front of his ideal girl? What was Seohyun’s reaction to her husband’s response? I guess we will have to wait to see.
