Kyuhyun's mother chooses between YoonA or Suzy for her son on 'Mamma Mia'


Super Junior's Kyuhyun was forced into a tough spot with his mother on the latest episode of KBS's 'Mamma Mia'!

The mother-son duo appeared on the family variety show, where they were asked about Kyuhyun's possible marriage prospects in the future. Since Kyuhyun had previously picked Girl's Generation's YoonA and miss A's Suzy as his ideal types in a previous broadcast, discussion naturally revolved around these two ladies.


Kyuhyun's mother chose YoonA without hesitation. The reason? "She's pretty," she stated outright. "She's prettier than Suzy."

Although everyone prodded Kyuhyun to inject his own opinion into the discussion, he declined, remaining mum on his future plans.



Song Ji Hyo gets the princess treatment on 'Running Man'


As the lone female member on 'Running Man', our 'ace/blank' Song Ji Hyo has had a tough time keeping up with the fast-paced show. For the latest episode, however, she was given the full-scale royal treatment in a well-deserved princess episode!

With the remainder of the cast and the guests -- Big Bang's SeungriDaesung, and G-Dragon -- divided into teams vying for her affection, they were put through a series of challenges to win over her heart, including a muddy bungee cord race, a competition to see which team knew Ji Hyo best, and finally, a water exercise which saw some of the show's funniest moments yet.



Earning a series of Ji Hyo-themed playing cards throughout the games, the final mission saw the three teams pitted against the actress in a high-stakes game of numbers and psychology, where they would have the chance to exchange their own cards to create a number higher than the princess's own.

However, Ji Hyo ended up outsmarting all of the three teams, and earned some more gold for herself as a special prize.

Taemin and Naeun have a drink together on ‘We Got Married’



The adorable couple of SHINee’s Taemin and A Pink’s Naeun had a drink together for the first time on the latest episode of MBC’s ‘We Got Married’.

On September 14, Taemin prepared a couple of beer and wanted to share honest stories with his wife. After drinking, Naeun shared, “Oppa goes overseas a lot, although I could contact you when you go overseas, it’s just very empty. It’s different when I contact you when you’re in the country compared to when you’re overseas. You talk differently.”

Taemin said, “My bad point about my personality is that I’m a little rushed, but you seem to go at a slower pace. At first I thought it was frustrating, but these days I think I’m matching myself with you.”

Naeun responded, “I’m sorry. Oppa expressed himself a lot to me. There are a lot of times I don’t say what I want to say. I feel frustrated with myself too.”
