U-know Yunho Is Mr. Passion Amid Pain

U-know Yunho (Jung Yunho) is the leader of TVXQ (DBSK) who is known for his passion and dedication. He has inspired and mentored many of the 3rd and 4th generation artists who have been impressed by his complete commitment to his role as leader and artist.

Eunkwang's Family Love: Singing with his Mom on "Immortal Song"

Multi-talented Seo Eunkwang 서은광, leader of BTOB, is often playing the role of mood maker/ comedian so it’s easy to forget how musically talented he is. In the 2017 Thanksgiving episode of Immortal Song, Eunkwang fulfilled his mother’s dream of singing on stage with her son. The panel and other contestants were very moved by their interplay and encouraging of each other. Initially when she had said she had come to win the trophy Eunkwang was embarrassed but still supportive.

Who’s Who in ONEUS and ONEWE

The Younghoon and KeonHee of ONEWE and ONEUS were tasked with finding their members while blindfolded. They had all trained together as RBW Boyz before being divided into 2 groups, ONEUS as a dance performance boy group and ONEWE as a band. This did mean that twins ONEUS’s Xion & ONEWE’s Dongmyeong were now separated. So with minimal contact how successful would YoungHoon be at finding Harin, Kanghyun, Dongmyeong, and CyA amongst the 6 ONEUS members. Well done YoungHoon. How

Kdrama Hidden Object Search 🇬🇧 Flag (The Union Jack)

I’m not sure if it is intended but it’s interesting how many dramas have a British flag (🇬🇧) appear at some point in the show. In some the Union Jack is pretty obvious and hard to miss like a rug in Best Hit and Mute or a fridge in Healer, Doctors, and most recently Oh My Baby. Sometimes it’s a box or container either in plain view in the room or hiding in the background like in Warm and Cozy where you had to look a bit harder. Sometimes it’s a feature of the main room in

Are you a true Kpop fan?

The Kpop members names are sometimes tricky to remember especially for the larger groups but true fans take the time to know the members. If you have a bias you usually can pick them out of the group long before you learn all the members names. Which is especially difficult with the larger groups. Was it N, L, Q or The8 who is in Infinite? Is it Song Mino or Choi Minho who is in SHINee? Moonbin is a real name but Cha EunWoo is a stage name? Test your knowledge of Kpop boy gr

Which Kpop group members don’t flinch when shot at?

For their first visit to the James Corden Show the members of BTS had to contend with being shot at (by a fruit cannon). They participated in the game Flinch, to see who could remain cool while having fruit fly at their face. The members showed very diverse reactions with V (Kim Taeyoung) surprising everyone. Kim Taeyoung doesn’t blink?!! How would you react? Would you react like Jin or J-Hope or remain cool like V or Suga? So how would other groups do against the flying

Jung Hae In finds it too hot to handle?

Jung HaeIn ( While You Were Sleeping, Something In The Rain, One Spring Night) filmed a travel show, Jung Hae In’s Travel Log, while on a trip to New York City and Niagara Falls last fall. He had been coached on what to do while filming a unscripted show as he was unfamiliar with the ‘talking while doing” aspect of variety shows. One of the suggestions was to be sure to try the local food and describe it to the viewers while you eat It. This was easier said than done. On hi

BREAKING NEWS: Changmin's getting married!

Earlier today, Changmin posted on his Lysn fanpage a letter announcing his engagement! It reads: Hello. This is TVXQ’s Changmin. There is something I want to tell fans myself, so I am taking the courage to write this letter. It is not something I can say easily, so I am very nervous right now as I write each word. On one hand, my heart feels heavy and apologetic thinking that my sudden news will shock and maybe upset some fans who always support me with great affection. Howev
