TVXQ to become the first Korean artist and the fourth international artist to hold a five Dome tour in Japan

 

TVXQ has one again accomplished a new feat in Japan as they have announced their plans of embarking on a five Dome tour across the nation!

 

The group will be kicking off the tour on April 27th of 2013, starting at the Saitama Super Arena, then moving onto Tokyo Dome, Osaka Kyocera Dome, Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome, Sapporo Dome, and Nagoya Dome.

 

What makes this so special? Well, this will be the first time that a Korean artist has embarked on a tour that spans across five major Domes. The group will also become the fourth international artist to hold a tour of such a grand scale, following after legendary superstars Bon Jovi, Eagles, and Billy Joel.

 

As the Domes are venues used by only the most popular artists with their large seating capacities, fans are looking forward to seeing the success TVXQ, who already has experience bringing 550,000 audience members with their ‘TONE’ tour, will be able to bring with their upcoming tour.

 

The group will also be releasing a new Japanese single containing the Japanese version of “Catch Me” as well as new song “I Know” on January 16th, giving fans even more to look forward to with the new year.

 

On the news about their five Dome tour, TVXQ commented, “We are so happy that a five Dome tour, which we have been dreaming about since debut, has been decided on. We will work hard to prepare good music and performances, so please anticipate it and give us your support and interest.”

 

Congrats to TVXQ!

Who has broader shoulders, Eunhyuk or Son Dam Bi?

 

On the latest episode of ‘Strong Heart‘ sexy soloist Son Dam Bi‘s strong, yet beautiful shoulders were taken notice of by the guests on set.

 

Son Dam Bi revealed, “I swam for 9 years”, explaining her broad shoulders. To show the audience, she took Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk‘s jacket and put it on. Although the jacket itself was slightly boxy on her, the shoulder area fit her just fine.

 

Not to be outdone by Son Dam Bi, Eunhyuk tried to reason that ”It’s a slim-fitting jacket“, which didn’t end up convincing the MCs and the guests.

 

And so, a measuring tape was then brought out to measure the breadth of Son Dam Bi and Eunhyuk’s shoulders. Eunhyuk’s shoulder width came out to be 43 cm, and Son Dam Bi’s came out to be 45 cm, and both couldn’t help but be flustered at the result; Eunhyuk was a bit embarrassed that he had narrower shoulders than a woman, while Son Dam Bi was equally embarrassed that her shoulders were broader than a man’s.

Yoochun expresses misery in his new still cuts for ‘I Miss You’

 

New still cuts of JYJ‘s Yoochun in his MBC drama ‘I Miss You‘ were revealed to the public on November 20th.

 

Anticipation among viewers for the appearance of the adult cast are now skyrocketing thanks to ‘Han Jung Woo’s official appearance. The new still cut shows an emotional and dark side to his character, as he’s pictured in a shower stall sopping wet and locked in deep thought.

 

His complicated feelings of misery seem to reflect directly on his face, a true depiction of his character ‘Han Jung Woo, who believes that all of the wounds and pain were caused by him.

 

With fourteen years passing in the drama, ‘Han Jung Woo’ finds himself as a hot-tempered and fearless investigator who sometimes sheds tears over thoughts of his first love, ‘Lee Soo Yeon’ (played by Yoon Eun Hye). Yoochun will surely heat up the smallscreen with his emotional new role.

 

This week’s episode will officially mark the start of the adult cast, so be sure to tune in!

 

'I Miss You' now it's time for a romance between Park Yu Cheon and Yun Eun Hye

Pure first love of Yeo Jin-Gu and Kim So-Hyeon is over. Now it’s time for a romance between Park Yu-Cheon and Yun Eun-Hye. Sad romance of Park Yu-Cheon and Yun Eun-Hye that the audiences of the drama waited for has begun.

From the 5th episode of ‘I Miss You’ which is on TV on 21st, adult actors such as Park Yu-Cheon, Yun Eun-Hye and Yu Seung-Ho are appearing. Han Jeong-Woo(Park Yu-Cheon’s role) who became a homicide detective and Lee Su-Yeon(Yun Eun-Hye’s role) who became successful as a fashion designer are appearing, after 14 years from their last moment.

Also, the appearances of Kang Hyeong-Jun(Yu Seung-Ho’s role) and Kim Eun-Ju(Jang Mi-In-Ae’s role) who have been next to Lee Su-Yeon and Han Jeong-Woo for a long time are going to strengthen the romance of their love lines.

Most of all, people are having attention for Park Yu-Cheon and Yun Eun-Hye’s acting after Yeo Jin-Gu and Kim So-Hyeon’s acting. It’s the fact that qualified acting of young actors cause expectations and also pressures on adult actors.

About that how two people will describe Jeong-Woo and Su-Yeon after 14 years and how their ‘Chemi’(‘Chemistry’, a term for that an actor goes well with his opponent actor) will be shown since it’s two people’s first acting together.
