[News] Khuntoria Couple is Now Jealous Couple?

On the latest broadcast of MBC’s variety program We Got Married, it looks like the Khuntoria couple,f(x)’s Victoria and 2PM’s Nichkhun expressed jealousy towards one another.

The couple shared some time together while waiting for 2PM’s first concert in Busan to start. Nichkhun even feeds Victoria ice cream in a very husband loving way say “aaaahhh” as he laughs with the spoon in his hand next to her mouth. Victoria then brings up a touchy subject from their past episodes involving fellow band member Chansung, where Nichkhun had asked her who her favourite member of 2PM was and she quickly responded with “Chansung because he is so cute.”

This time she asks, “Where are the other members?” which causes envious paranoid husband to reply “Why why why why?”, to which she replies shyly whilst burying her face in her hands “I want to see Chansung”. Nichkhun stays silent but you can clearly see his blood boiling over in jealousy as his eyes start to bulge, whilst Victoria jokingly tries to cover it up by saying “no no no”, with the tickets he had given her for the concert.

Victoria was watching her husband with much joy and happily singing along to their lyrics during the concert, and then all of a sudden, her eyes were seen glaring at something, what could it be? Victoria’s glare was apparently due to Nichkhun being on stage with a female dancer; who is dancing rather close to him. You can see in Victoria’s eyes that she is a tad jealous, hence the expressionless face with only just the glare she was giving which was caught on the camera.

Nichkhun’s solo segment, 3 Bears, made everyone laugh, including Victoria as it was so unexpected. He then revealed in the interview that he sung that specific song because of his wife Victoria. He went on to say that he recently watched her perform this song on a TV show which inspired him adding that, “she looked so cute”.

Both are growing stronger and fonder of each other as the days are goes by. Hopefully, there is more excitement and funny jealousy to come in the upcoming episodes.

[News] (Hot! Debut Diary) Teen Top Chunji "I look a lot like T-ara's Jiyeon"

"I have the small face complex"

Chunji's charming smiling image with his sharp features and small face. He revealed that he always heard that he was lovely.

Amongst the members Chunji is the one that looks the best when he's dressed up as a girl, not long ago he showed a picture of him dressed as a girl and he heard a lot that he looked like T-ara's Jiyeon.

"I didn't want all this to happen, at first I just took a picture of myself wearing a skirt and long hair. At first it was uncomfortable and I was embarrassed, the reactions of the people around me was all good so I was happy but I don't want to become a girl."(laugh)

Chunji who has a complex on his small face always hears comments such as 'You're prettier than a girl', 'You grew prettily'.

He also revealed: "In fact I don't have a feminine personnality at all, when I see any injustices I can't bear it and have a really manly personnality, many misunderstand and think that I'm feminine. I hear a lot that for a guy I have a really small face, small hands, and I sometimes get annoyed by this."

He added while smiling widely: "It seems that because I dressed as a girl that time I'll get even more misunderstandings so I'm kind of worried. I'm a B type man that doesn't have a small face nor small hands at all".

Excluding his small face complex, he replied without any hesitations at the question 'what's the hardest things when promoting?' that it was the 'individual talents', he said that the talents were harder than dressing up as a woman.

Chunji who's actually developping personal talents different than Kibong's one, and that can show another image of him said: "The things I'm the most confident in are impersonations, I did an impersonation of 'Barefoot Kibong' every time I was on a broadcast but now that I think about it, it's really embarrassing"

Chunji promised that he would constantly make efforts to become a cameleon singer that can show various colours through Teen Top's Power Voice.

[News] T-ara's Jiyeon, WG's Sohee, and IU are Working Too Late at Night

A lot of underaged idols participate in late-night recordings nowadays.

On the 16th, An Hyunhwan of the South Korean Cuture and Tourism Assembly made a statement regarding the need of limited recording time schedules for underaged celebrities because it takes time away from their education.

They have made an example of one of SHINee's Taemin's (17) recording for one show, which was shot from 8:00PM-11:00PM. They've also mentioned that Wonder Girls members Sohee (18) and Hyerim (18) have participated in recordings that went all the way up to 03:00AM.

Additionally, T-ara's Jiyeon (17) and IU (17) were mentioned recording for two different programs themselves which follow similar schedules.

The Assembly have said that underaged celebrities must record shows up to no later than 10:00PM. They have also mentioned that, in the UK, celebrities under the age of 16 cannot even participate in activities later than 09:30PM.

"Celebrities of minor age should be given environments according to their ages. These types of guidelines must be enforced in the broadcasting industry," said An Hyunghwan.

On the day of 2PM’s concert, Nichkhun‘s ‘Wife’, Victoria took a taxi on her own in Busan. The taxi driver recognises Victoria from ‘We Got Married’ and thought that Nichkhun was a prince from the royals.

During the ride, Victoria praised the beautiful scenery Busan has, and soon after they arrived, the taxi driver requested for an autograph for himself. Instead of “Goo Ja In”, Victoria wrote “Go Ja In”, making the set burst out in laughter. The cute scene starts at 03.39.

After meeting with her ‘husband’, Nichkhun had a small quarrel with Victoria because he was unhappy with the way Victoria is looking at fellow member Chansung while he was dancing on stage. Victoria claims that Nichkhun performed a ‘pervy’ stage, to which Nichkhun pinched her cheeks.
