On August 16th, labelmates KARA and Rainbow will be taking part in an environmental campaign through a Hanbok fashion show!
Both groups will walk the runway in traditional Korean dresses for the ‘Hanbok – Environmental Love Story’ fashion show, which will be held at the Grand Ball Room in the Namsan Hyatt Hotel. This is the first time since their respective debuts that they’ll be on the same runway.
The event aims to promote recycling and the encouragement of small habits to ensure the protection of the environment. The ‘Miracle of the Handkerchief’ event will also be kicked off on this day alongside many other celebrities like Park Hae Mi, So Yoo Jin, Eru, Joo Young Hoon, and Lee Yoon Mi.
After successfully concluding their first-ever ‘United Cube‘ concert ‘Fantasy Land‘, the artists ofCube Entertainment - B2ST, G.NA, and 4minute – had much to say about their experiences and reflections.
“Even though this concert is only a small start, it is a giant first step so we will perform happily,” said B2ST’s Doojoon. “Although the beginning is weak, the finish will be amazing,” he added.
Kikwang was hosting SBS’s Inkigayo and did not attend the press conference.
For the girls of 4minute, who haven’t held a single concert since their debut in 2009, the ‘United Cube’ concert was a particularly special moment. “After building experience with this collaboration concert, we’d like to show off our improved skills through our own solo concert,” revealed 4minute’s HyunA.
“Our concert’s strong point was that we had separate teams that each showed their own unique performance,” commented 4minute’s Jihyun. “We’d like to go perform at places that our fans want us to be at, such as Germany.”
Although holding a family concert had its benefits, B2ST’s Yoseob also revealed several downsides.“Unlike at our solo concert, it was hard trying to match schedules with 4minute and G.NA,” he said.
G.NA, the concert’s only solo artist, said that she felt pleased to take part in the show. “I’m just happy to be performing with 4minute and B2ST,” she said. “Everyone worked hard to be here. We’ll work even harder for our fans who’ve loved us so much.”
The concert drew an estimated 8,500 people and also guest starred Huh Gak, A Pink, and Mario. After packing up in Seoul, the concert will travel to Tokyo’s Budokan arena on August 25th; the tour was also scheduled to hit up London’s Wimbledon Arena on November 19th, however, due to the recent riots, Cube expressed that they were closely monitoring the situation before finalizing any details.
But foreign K-Pop fans can look forward to other possible Cube concerts outside of London.
“We had concert planning representatives from Paraguay, Russia, and Finland at the Seoul concert,”revealed a Cube representative. “We anticipate good news from them when they return home.”

The August 14th episode of SBS’s ‘Kim Yuna’s Kiss & Cry‘ captivated viewers with its impressive performances and finally revealed the winners of the show, who would have the honor of participating in Kim Yuna’s upcoming ice show ‘Samsung Galaxy★Hauzen All That Skate Summer 2011‘.
We previously reported that f(x)’s Krystal and Lee Dong Hun would attempt the highest difficulty liftduring this episode. Well, not only did they manage to successfully pull off the difficult lift, but they also wowed both the judges and viewers with their best performance yet.
The judges also managed to tease the two by asking if they were dating in real life, with coach David Wilson commenting, “Just makes me wonder… is there something going on between the two of you?”, to which Krystal and Lee Dong Hun responded to with a resounding “No, not at all!”. Judge Park Hae Mi also directed towards Lee Dong Hun, “Dong Hun still can’t look at Krystal properly. You have a crush on her don’t you? To be honest, isn’t she very attractive?“, to which Dong Hun replied, “I think you have the wrong idea“, causing much laughter amongst viewers.
We also reported earlier about how Son Dambi put on her best ‘Kiss and Cry’ performance. Along with her partner Cha Oh Reum, the skating couple managed to pull off a beautiful and thrilling performance, with Son Dambi transforming into an ice queen with an electric violin, and Cha Oh Reum playing the role of a man imprisoned in handcuffs who was being awakened by the ice queen. The two skated out a beautiful love story on ice that was full of powerful spins and jumps.
The judges praised their performance with high compliments, and Son Dambi shed tears towards the end expressing how sad she was that the show was coming to an end.
It was a long journey for all the contestants, but in the end, it was Krystal and Lee Dong Hun who received the honor of first place on the show. Krystal expressed her gratitude for receiving the title, but commented, “I can’t believe this happened. We all worked so hard to get here, it makes me sad that we have to pick a winner“, and shared the honor of first place with all her fellow performers.
‘Kim Yuna’s Kiss & Cry’ will air its final episode on the 21st, and will showcase an iceshow featuring Kim Yuna, Krystal, and Lee Dong Hun.
Congratulations to Krystal and Lee Dong Hun!
