We reported just before the year was out that Cube Entertainment was going to debut Hyuna as a solo artist, apart from her group work with 4minute.

Into the first day of the new year, we have got a little more information about Hyuna's debut single together with her album jacket picture. According to bossa747, Hyuna's debut single will be titled Change and will feature Joonhyung from BEAST as well.

That's something to look forward to this January.

Many thanks to kyujay for tip.

akp

fuck yeah Junhyung. And Hyunah looks great in that picture.

Japanese press reports on TVXQ officially disbanding have shocked many fans.

On the 1st, Sports Nippon reported that "Korean band TVXQ is disbanding at the height of their popularity". It also reported that the relationship between SM and Jaechunsu has soured and it is impossble for the two to reconcilliate. They've now gone into discussions to disband the group.

This news hit the main page of Yahoo Japan's entertainment news, showing TVXQ's great popularity in Japan. TVXQ attended the 60th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen on the 31st

Sports Nippon reported that although TVXQ stood on stage together that day, the relationship between the 3 members and the other 2 didn't seem good; and although they share the same dressing room, they go back to Korea on different flights.

It also claimed that the single to be released on the 27th will be their last single and they'll release a best collection album on the 17th next month.

SM Entertainment's reponse to the report was "Those are groundless rumours' 'We didn't start any procedures for an official disbandment' A representative said "We haven't decided on our future plans for TVXQ"

Yoona and Taecyeon are searched heavily... on Korean portal site Nate that is.

Merely minutes after their performance on MBC Gayo Daejun, 2PM member Taecyeon and SNSD member Yoona hit the number 2 spot on Nate's most searched list together.

The performance was more than enough to get fangirls swooning and fanboys up in arms, so it's not a big surprise that radical netizens would rack up a huge hit count in such a small amount of time.

Other notable searches in the top 5 are Boom and After School's ex-member Soyoung, who are rumored to be dating, taking spots 3 and 5 respectively.

I'm waiting for the fanfics and fanarts to start reeling in.

"Happy New Year! It's officially 2010. I just wanted to show you the highlights and low-lights of Beckii's channel over the past year and a bit, because I had to show all the bits before this year. I hope you enjoy this video. It took forever to screen capture all the little bits"

What is something you achieved in 2009 that you're proud of? What would you like to do in 2010? Any new years resolutions?

I wish my dreams would become reality like Beckii's.

This was too cute not to share...from the (empty) promises the 86ers made to Key seeming the bitchiest.
And congrats to the 91 line (and me!) for finally being legal in Korea :D

[TRANS] 10.01.01 "We want to keep doing our best," Tohoshinki shakes away break-up rumors and spoke  of this year's aspiration on "CDTV"



The popular Korean group Tohoshinki, who is in the midst of having break-up rumors, performed on "60th NHK Kouhaku Utagassen" on the last day of the year, and later appeared on TBS' special program "CDTV SPECIAL! New Year's Eve Premium Live 2009→2010". When being asked by MC TAKAHIRO (EXILE) what their aspiration for this year is, Jaejoong stopped a moment and only said, "We want to keep doing our best like last year."

After the three members of Tohoshinki - Junsu, Jaejoong, and Yoochun - filed a lawsuit to request for a provisional disposition to terminate the exclusive contract with their managing company, there have been rumors of them breaking up floating around. There are also rumors that the members cannot communicate normally and that their actions are being observed. However, in fact, on the rehearsal day of Kouhaku, it has been reported that the three members and Yunho, Changmin returned to their waiting room in two separate groups.

After performing "Stand by U" at Kouhaku, they chose to not answer the press corps' questions. At CDTV, they only said, "Good evening everyone, we are Tohoshinki" and sang the song which contained a message in its lyrics.

It seems like Big Bang G-Dragon didn't cry on purpose after all. Some of you might have thought he had the tears during his performance of Heartbreaker at the SBS Gayo Daejun as an additional detail of the performance but that's not the case. Some other people thought he was crying about all the controversies he went through in 2009.

It's only been a day since upcoming group F.cuz revealed their Jiggy debut music video teaser on GOMTV and other video communities, and it's already becoming a hot issue. Less than twenty-four hours after the release, the video has already garnered 20,000 views.

"This music video shows a style that's different from the style they exhibited in their jacket photoshoot. [The F.cuz members are] just like clothing mannequins; they always suit whatever they wear," one netizen commented. Others have expressed their approval for Jiggy, saying, "Although I've only heard the teaser, I'm now humming the tune of Jiggy all the time. I think this track will be a hit."

"Even during this busy time of the year, there has been lots of interest in our MV teaser, and we are very thankful," the F.cuz members have expressed in regards to the attention that they have been receiving despite the year-end gayo daejun events and festivals that have been going on for the past few days. "Next year, we will greet you with a great presentation," the boys promised.

Even though many media sources have been focusing on the year-end events, F.cuz is definitely getting its fair share of time in the spotlight as more and more people focus attention on F.cuz. The question is, will F.cuz live up to the hype when the group debuts on January 8? Let's hope so! Stay tuned for more on F.cuz on allkpop and Fcuzed Forums.

We shall see bbs....we shall see....
