A ‘rage virus’ takes over the world on ‘Running Man’


In the year 2013, a deadly ‘rage virus’ has taken over the planet, voiding the world of laughter. As the last remaining members of humanity to not have been infected with the virus, the ‘Running Man‘ cast members were tasked with going into the last remaining virus-free zone on the planet and retrieving the vaccine that could cure them all.
However, there was soon more to the episode than met the eye, as one by one, they became infected with the virus due to an unknown assailant. The surviving members grew suspicious of a ‘spy’ in their midst – especially towards Yoo Jae Suk, who had a prior reputation of reversals.
The truth was, however, Yoo Jae Suk had been given a secret mission: there was someone amongst themselves who were spreading the virus, and passing him or herself off as his alter ego, ‘Yoomes Bond’, in the process.
Given his usual arsenal of high-powered H2O high-velocity ejection devices (or water guns), Yoomes Bond set out on his mission to find out who was sullying his name and trying to destroy the world of laughter.
However, it was only after half of the cast members were infected that Yoo Jae Suk finally figured out the truth: it was Song Ji Hyo who had been undermining the mission, having been given a secret task beforehand to infect everyone without their knowledge.
When only the two secret agents remained, Yoo Jae Suk eventually triumphed over the betrayer, putting a thrilling end to the latest episode of the ‘Yoomes Bond’ series.

Kang Min Kyung shares a difficulty she faces as a ballad singer


Davichi member Kang Min Kyung shared a difficulty she faces being a ballad singer.
Davichi appeared as guests on ‘Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook‘ on April 5th to promote their second full length album.  During the show, Kang Min Kyung shared a difficulty she faced as a ballad singer.
MC Yoo Hee Yeol said, “Unlike idol singers, you are actually ballad singers, are there some difficulties you face?” Kang Min Kyung answered, “As a ballad singer, I feel that I can’t have a picture taken of me while I am drunk, so I don’t go to clubs.

On the April 5th installment of SBS ‘Thank You’, Baek Ji Young appeared as guest and was asked about wedding plans with her boyfriend Jung Suk Won. The singer answered, “I don’t have any plans yet.”

She continued, “Jung Suk Won and I are looking at a bit different directions. I won’t be able to wait forever, but for now, we don’t have any plan to get married yet.”

Baek Ji Young also discussed how her thoughts about marriage changed, “When I was in my early 20s, I wanted a fairytale-like love, and in my mid-20s, I wanted someone who can comfort me. In my early 30s, I wanted someone who can be a good companion of mine.”

She added, “Right now, I’m looking for family. Someone who will forever be on my side. As I get older, marriage gets harder because I’m looking for someone who can be my family.

Three Siwon Fan Clubs in the Philippines Donated in Celebration of Siwon's Birthday!



Super Junior's Choi Siwon turned 27 (Korean age) on April 7th, 2013. Three fan clubs in the Philippines including WeLoveChoiSiwon Philippines together with Siwon Philippines (under SJPHELFS) and Captain Siwonest (under SJUPH) gathered to celebrate Siwon's birthday.

On the 6th, Filipino ELFs celebrated Siwon's birthday in a special way, it was held at Jollibee Vito Cruz from 1PM to 4PM. Siwon's look-alike, Kurt Othello Sadje also attended the event as a special guest. Fans surely enjoyed the birthday gathering because of the games, prizes and of course, spending quality time with their fellow Filipino ELFs. 

The main purpose of the gathering is to help other people, to donate to a church in the Philippines, 'Evangelical Methodist Church in Cambaog'. It is great to know that KPOP idols inspire people to do good deeds. They are indeed a great way to help people in need. Being a fan is not just about spending your money in buying merchandises, attending concerts but it is also about giving your best just to help people even in a small way in the name of your idol. The Philippine fan clubs especially WeLoveChoiSiwon Philippines and Siwon Philippines put much effort to make this event successful, from planning the event to making it possible. 

To certify their donation, certificates were given to the participating fan clubs.


Take a look at some photos taken during the event.









The promotional videos for the said event can be watched below.




We are hoping that our readers and ELFs could help the church that the Philippine fan clubs donated to by donating also, any amount is accepted. International fans can also help.

Sungmin leaves Sukira, Ryeowook as the sole DJ




It has been announced that Super Junior's Sungmin will be leaving KBS Cool FM’S “Super Junior’s Kiss the Radio”. He has been DJing the radio program for two years and today is his last day.

Sungmin's departure from his seat is due to the schedule conflict with his upcoming Japanese musical 'Summer Show' in Osaka Japan, wherein he is the main lead.

In this case, no one will fill his chair, but his partner Ryeowook will be challenged to do DJing alone. In this, fans are assuming that Ryeowook might be joined by guest DJs from time to time or he will do it alone. Fans send their encouraging messages for the two DJs.

Earlier today, a staff from Super Junior's official facebook page also wrote,

Today is the last day for SungMin DJing ‘Super Junior’s KISS THE RADIO’. Please support for SungMin, who will be back with new look!! [from FACEBOOK SUPER JUNIOR STAFF]

Eunhyuk tells Siwon to shave his beard!




Super Junior Eunhyuk showed his brotherly affection towards his dongsaeng Siwon who is celebrating his birthday today.

However, instead of touching greetings, he wrote on his twitter account,

"Just finished the recording ~~~!!! and Ma-Shi, happy birthday. You have gained an age therefore you've become a mature adult like hyung. Shave your beard too."

It seems like Eunhyuk is teasing Siwon by showing his clean face.
Aren't they really close for teasing each other like this?

Do you think Siwon should shave his beard?

The photo was from Legend of Hyang Dang, a mini drama where Siwon appeared.
