[NEWS] SM Entertainment Incensed with TVXQ Trio at MAMA

The inaugural MAMA awards might have been over just recently, with the TVXQ trio of Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu making an appearance and receiving the “Best Representative for Asia” award on behalf of TVXQ.

But in a interview with SM Entertainment right after the MAMA was concluded, a representative said that they had no right to do so:

“The trio had no right to receive the award on behalf of TVXQ. The awards organizer should give the award to a liaison on behalf of SM Entertainment instead. This is unacceptable since they had only invited the 3 members.”

In response, a MNET representative stated:

“We invited all 5 TVXQ members to the MAMA awards ceremony beforehand. But only the trio responded to our request while the other two did not. We don’t see any problems with the trio receiving the award on behalf of the whole group.”

People began to say “how can you fall asleep while making Kimchi?” then the comments turned around to “she must have been very tired to have fallen alseep while making Kimchi.” Yuri woke up to say “I fall asleep if I work sitting down,” so the G7 shouted out “then stand up and do it.”

So Yuri stood up and made Kimchi, and started to dance. The other G7 members who were hard at work yelled out “you’re flying dust around the place!!” Yuri was shocked.

[NEWS] US Billboard: “Breaking & Entering: The Wonder Girls”

Complete with a dance studio, rehearsal stage and a recording space, the JYP Entertainment office in midtown Manhattan — the only Asian record label currently open in the U.S., according to founder JY Park — feels more like an artist’s training camp than a corporate space. But for Korean pop band The Wonder Girls, it’s their home — literally.

For the past few months, the quintet — comprised of Sunye, Ye-eun, Sohee, Sunmi and Yubin — has made a home of the top two floors of the building, which is split up into separate dormitories. Chosen through an audition process and placed in the JYP Academy two years ago, the girls have been honing their skills in singing, dancing and acting as well as mastering several languages in preparation of their as-yet-untitled English-language album — a twelve track set with six of the songs being English versions of their Korean hits, and the rest original English material.
