Nicole and IU briefly forgot lyrics at ‘2010 SBS Entertainment Awards’

IU and KARA’s Nicole made the mistake of not singing during their opening performance at the ‘2010 SBS Entertainment Awards‘.

The two girls appeared on stage wearing white wedding dresses, and performed Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin‘. However, because they were so focused on their choreography, they forgot to sing the beginning part of the song.

Fortunately, it was a pre-recorded number, so it was not very noticeable.

Meanwhile, the show experienced another slip-up during the entrance of MCs Shin Dong Yup, Jang Yoon Jung and Park Sun Young. Audience members felt an awkward pause because the door that the MCs were to enter from did not open; luckily, the mishap was quickly fixed.

After this accident, Shin Dong Yup said, “You guys were laughing, but we were going crazy behind there“, drawing laughter from the audience.

2PM’s Nichkhun first watched porn when he was 15 years old

The members of 2AM and 2PM made guest appearances on MBC’s New Year special for “Bouquet” and displayed their cute antics for viewers and fans alike.

One topic of great interest was 2PM Nichkhun’s surprise confession about the first time he saw porn.   A portion of the New Year special focused on what the celebrities wanted to do the moment they became adults.  At the mention of adult films, Nichkhun immediately began showing signs of embarrassment with his ears turning red.

The MCs, amused with his sudden change in behavior, began aggressively shooting questions related to the topic, leading Nichkhun to eventually answer, “I first saw porn when I was 15 years old in New Zealand.”

Female guests on the show expressed that his shy but honest confession was endearing and labeled it as one of his charms.

2PM and 2AM also went head to head in order to become a team with their favorite girl groups through a battle of the charms.

Nickhun performed 2PM’s song, “I Can’t,” while Junho showed off his guitar skills with “Ain’t No Sunshine,” a song off of Notting Hill’s OST.  The song was revealed to have been rehearsed to be performed at the group’s future fanmeetings.

Chansung showed off a sexy freestyle dance, while Seulong captured the hearts of the girl groups with his performance of Jung Yeob’s “Nothing Better.”

The episode can be seen at 9:25 AM KST on January 2nd, 2011.

Movie Review: Finding Mr. Destiny (Finding Kim Jong Wook)

Gong Yoo’s long awaited comeback to the big screen, “Finding Mr. Destiny (Finding Kim Jong Wook)”, will be making its way to select theaters across the United States and Canada!

“Finding Mr. Destiny” is a romantic comedy that stars the ever so handsome Gong Yoo (“Coffee Prince“) and the charming Im Soo Jung (“I’m A Cyborg But It’s Okay“). This movie is based on the popular musical of the same title and is directed by musical director Jang Yoo Jung.

In the film, Gong Yoo plays the part of Han Gi Joon, an awkward neat freak perfectionist former travel agent who starts a new business to help people find their first love. On the other hand, Im Soo Jung stars as the short-tempered stage director Seo Ji Woo, whose military man father (played by Chun Ho Jin) keeps pushing her to get married. The story begins when Ji Woo’s father forces her to consult with Gi Joon’s Finding Your First Love Agency in order to search for her unforgettable first love whom she met in India 10 years ago.

Upon watching the film, I was pleasantly surprised by Gong Yoo’s terrific performance of a character contrary to his previous heartthrob-type roles. He managed to play a very square character without being annoyingly suffocating. Also, for two actors who previously had dating rumors, Gong Yoo and Im Soo Jung had great chemistry throughout the film. Like most other romantic comedies, their characters’ over-the-top opposing personalities made for a good balance as each persona was developed throughout the film.

If I were to find any flaw in  this film, it would have to be that it is the typical Korean romantic comedy. Tough girl who actually isn’t tough, much quarreling with the guy, and an ultimate airport scene. Nonetheless, if you are into cute chick flicks, this is the movie for you! It was thoroughly enjoyable and left me with a warm happy feeling inside (which is great in this depressing cold winter weather).

“Finding Mr. Destiny,” which premiered in Korea earlier this month, will be released across theaters in the US and Canada with English subtitles! The first opening will occur on Thursday, December 30th at 11:30PM at the CGV Cinemas in Los Angeles. The distribution schedule is as follows:

12/30: Los Angeles (CGV Cinemas)
1/21: New Jersey (AMC Ridgefield Park 12), New York (AMC Empire 25), Maryland (AMC Rios 18), Atlanta (AMC Discover Mills 18), Chicago (AMC Showplace Niles 12), San Jose (AMC Cupertino 16), Vancouver (Cinemark Tinseltown)
TBA: Hawaii (Consolidated Ward)

SNSD is fly… like a G550?

As we previously reported, SM Entertainment chartered a private plane through Excel Airways in order to meet their year-end music schedules in Korea and Japan.

Through the use of this private jet, the girls were able to attend both the TBS ‘Japan Record Awards’ and the 2010 ‘KBS Music Festival‘, which were both held on the same night.

It was recently revealed that this chartered plane was actually a Gulfstream 550 (G550). For those of you that don’t know, the Gulfstream G550 is a $50 million jet manufactured by the General Dynamics’ Gulfstream Aerospace unit in beautiful Savannah, Georgia. A stable of Fortune 500 CEO’s, Gulfstream was recently brought into the public spotlight through Far⋆East Movement’s Billboard Chart Topping single ‘Like a G6′ (Gulfstream 650).

The girls are extremely busy but at least they’re going around in luxury, comfort and style.
