What is Park Jung Min’s goal for this year?

‘Sexy charisma’ Park Jung Min, who recently made a comeback to the music scene as a solo artist, revealed his surprise goal for 2011.
On the 30th, this singer guested on SBS’s “Kim Jung Eun’s Chocolate” and provided a surprising response to the question, “What do you think your ‘charm point’ is?” The star said, ”My goal for this year is to become the number one guy you would want to hug.”
Park Jung Min then continued, “Since my title song is related to ’sexy charisma’, I was thinking ‘What is there that matched this title’ and decided to make my goal to become the number one guy you would want to hug.”
Considering his answer, MC Kim Jung Eun wittingly retorted, “I think I would have to hug you to know.” The singer accepted Kim Jung Eun’s request as the two hugged. Yet Kim Jung Eun continued to joke, “I can’t really tell with only one hug,” and the two ended up hugging a second time.
Afterwards, Park Jung Min cleverly said, “My subtitle is the guy you cannot forget after just one hug,” and caused not only Kim Jung Eun, but the audience members to laugh as well.
Meanwhile, Park Jung Min performed ‘Not Alone’ and a cover of the song, ‘Aspirin.’

[Update: Video] Super Junior wants the world to see Super Show 4

The Super Junior members were in Singapore this past weekend for the Singapore leg of their Super Show 3 concert tour and it finished off successfully with 20,000 fans going home delighted.
Before the second concert in Singapore yesterday, the members had a press conference with the local media where they expressed their desire to bring the next edition, Super Show 4, to cities outside of Asia. Since the beginning of their Super Show concert tour begun back in 2008, the extravaganza has been confined to mainly east and southeastern countries in Asia.
“The prolific group has plans to bring a brand new Super Show 4 showcase to the rest of the world after the release of their fifth album this year“, so says band leader Leeteuk, 27, when asked to share the group’s plans and goals for 2011.
“We won’t restrict it [Super Show 4] to only Asia“, he smilingly adds, during an interview with Xin MSN yesterday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Leeteuk and Heechul were also asked about the minor accident they got into. “As long as my fans are fine, we are fine,” Heechul coolly replied, grinning from ear to ear. Leeteuk chimed in, “In the future, for security reasons, we want fans to be careful and take care of themselves too.”
The Super Junior boys will regroup again next month for the Japan leg of their Super Show 3 concert tour from February 18 – 20th, and they will also head to the Philippines, Taiwan, and Malaysia in the coming months before ending in Vietnam on May 7th.

Having performed on all the other music shows, the four girls continued with their comeback stage on this week’s SBS’s Inkigayo.
More than a year has gone by since Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young left the group to pursue their solo careers, and it has been one long wait for fans as Star Empire patiently scouted replacement members to join Ha Joo Yeon and Kim Eun Jung.
Superstar K Top 10 finalist, Park Se Mi, joined the group 6 months ago, and Kim Ye Won rounded out the quartet, having just been unveiled earlier this month.
After months of preparation, the new Jewelry makes its return with a brand new power ‘locking’ hip hop dance style and b-girls concept for their comeback single, ‘Back It Up‘.

SeeYa says goodbye on Inkigayo

Much-loved ballad trio SeeYa greeted their fans with a final farewell and formally disbanded after their performance on the January 30th episode of SBS’s “Inkigayo.”
The group first debuted in 2006 and have been loved for their outstanding and impressive vocal talent for the five years they were active. Their hit songs, such as “Woman’s Scent,” “Love’s Greeting,” and “Shall We Get Married“, managed to gather a fanbase larger than what most idols are capable of.
The group has certainly experienced a fair share of highs and lows, and the members will be going their separate paths on an amicable note, especially after Nam Gyuri rejoined the group for this final album promotion, having left earlier under acrimonious circumstances.
SeeYa’s original trio stated, “We pledged to not look sad in front of our fans, to not cry, to not look weak, and to confidently do our best until the very end before we went up on stage. It’s so sad thinking that this is SeeYa’s final goodbye stage, but we only want to show fans our smiling side. I honestly thought I’d cry, but I tried to remember the happy moments I had with SeeYa in order to avoid crying.”
Core Contents Media commented, “This March, their contracts will expire. There’s a slim chance that the girls will be returning after they finish their activities for their goodbye album, depending on how they feel. The issue won’t be dragged on for long, and a decision on what will happen will be made soon.”
SBS’s representative also raised the anticipation for their final stage by commenting, “We’ve prepared a stage that is worthy enough for all three members to cherish.”

It has been five years and we wish the girls all the best on their future paths.
