TOP’s past in “I Do” Music Video Revealed!

“Celebrity’s past…ashamed? NO! a fresh look“

Although somewhat embarrasing, big stars from nowadays were still full of talent and with attractive appearances in the past. Various CFs, music videos, dramas and movies from the past were watched to find the hidden freshness of these stars.

Fans are quite surprised to see the different image from these stars but since early in their rookie days they noticed there was a star inside of them.

TOP appeared at 1:50 mark

TOP from Big Bang appeared for a bit in The One’s music video “I DO” along with actress Han Ga In and actor Im Ju Hwan. Although in TOP’s fat face his charisma cannot be found anywhere, his intense eyes in the brief encounter with Han Ga In in the subway stand out.

Big Bang, Super Junior, & KARA will not perform in MBC’s ‘50th Anniversary Korean Music Wave Concert’

It was just announced that Super Junior, KARA, and Big Bang will not perform at MBC’s “50th Anniversary Korean Music Wave Concert in Bangkok“.

MBC will be sending their ‘Show! Music Core‘ staff to Thailand on March 10th to prepare for the epic event. The music program’s PD has already flown to Thailand to manage the production.

The concert will feature 15 popular artists, who have reorganized their schedules in order to participate in this overseas concert.

KARA considered performing, but ultimately made the decision not to perform. Reportedly, the girls felt uncomfortable about appearing on TV during the middle of their contract dispute.

Big Bang will not be participating, since MBC’s list of performing artists was already finalized before they released their album. As for Super Junior, the boys are currently busy with their unit activities and overseas promotions.

It has not yet been announced when the concert will air in Korea. Though the event takes place on March 12th, viewers will see only a regular episode of ‘Show! Music Core’. Since most of the staff will be in Thailand on that day, MBC will air the pre-recorded show that was filmed on the 5th.

It was recently revealed that actress Park Han Byul is suffering from a severe cold. Consequently, she’s postponed her return to Korea this week.

The actress left for Bangkok, Thailand on March 2nd for a promotional event and photoshoot with a makeup brand she models for. Although she was originally scheduled to return on the 8th, the cold (which she carried before she departed) escalated in its severity as she became more fatigued.

On the 8th, a representative spoke with MyDaily and revealed, “Park Han Byul has a cold, and her fatigued body has led to aches. Inevitably, we decided to delay her departure.  The situation seems grave. We previously discussed for her to return on the 9th after ample rest, but everything seems uncertain at the moment.”

Park Han Byul had alerted fans to her condition before she left on the 1st  by tweeting, “I have to go to Thailand tomorrow, but I’m starting to feel sick.”

Actor Jung Il Woo was recently spotted on the set of SBS’s upcoming drama, “49 Days“, wearing headphones that were personally gifted to him by fans.

He stated, “It was a gift from my fans, so I always treated it with care. I thought it would fit well with the idol star image of my role, which is why I brought it in for use. Thank you to my fans.”

Produced by Jo Young Kwang, other cast members include Lee Yo Won, Jo Hyun Jae, Bae Soo Bin, Seo Ji Hye, and Nam Gyuri. The drama is scheduled to begin airing on March 16th through SBS in the Wed-Thus timeslot, taking over from “Sign“.
