SM Entertainment assures that EXO will bring the best concert possible + still unable to get in touch with Kris

SM Entertainment assured fans that EXO are doing their very best to prepare for their upcoming first solo concert in Seoul. The agency had previously said they were trying to get in touch with Kris to find out if he could be convinced to join the rest of the members at the concert, but despite fans' hopes, it seems they won't be seeing him at the event.

SM Entertainment stated through their official homepage on the 21st, "Hello. This is SM Entertainment. We thank all the fans who have been showing a lot of love towards EXO's first solo concert. We are informing you that 11 members will be holding this concert at the Olympic Gymnasium in Songpagu, Seoul on May 23-25. The 11 members are currently doing their very best to bring a high-quality concert and we promise that it will be a spectacular stage that will meet fans' expectations so please look forward to it."

With this announcement, an SM rep also told Star News, "Following the filing of the lawsuit, we still have not been able to get in contact [with Kris], and his lawyer also has not responded at all to the possibility of his attendance... Because all aspects of the concert had to be suddenly adjusted to fit 11 members, the members and staff are in a difficult situation, but they are doing their best."

The 'EXO FROM. EXOPLANET #1 - THE LOST PLANET' will be held at Olympic Gymnasium, Seoul starting this Friday in Korea. You can also check out EXO's message to fans here.

Kyuhyun accepts that Younha is a better singer than YoonA on 'Radio Star'

Younha was a guest on the May 21 installment of MBC's 'Radio Star', leading to some light comparison between herself and YoonA, who has a similar name. 

On this day, Younha said, "When I said that Girls' Generation's Taeyeon and singerIU sang really well it got misreported as the three of us were in the top three in terms of singing skills."

The mischievous MCs asked, "Then who does Younha think ranks fourth in terms of singing skills?"  She was unable to answer, so Kim Gu Ra bluntly stated, "Then let's just say Younha is better at singing than Girls' Generation's YoonA," making everyone laugh.

Kyuhyun said, "I will acknowledge that, as well."  Yoon Jong Shin joked that it was a formal acknowledgement by SM.

Jiyeon shares her thought on going solo

T-ara’s member Park Jiyeon has confessed her honest thought on making a solo debut.

In an interview on May 19, Jiyeon shared, “I always greet you as the youngest of T-ara, and now I feel awkward to greet you as a solo artist. When my company suggested me make a solo debut, I told them that I don’t find myself fit fot it yet. However, other members of T-ara and many people encouraged me, so I took the chance. I had pressure that I must cover everything alone, so I practiced a lot, and now I am waiting for the stage.”

Jiyeon is the first member to make a solo debut in T-ara so she is worried even more. She said, "I want to work solo while working as a group, but I felt a lot of pressure when I worked as a solo now.” 

Meanwhile, Jiyeon’s first solo mini album was released with the title song ‘1 Minute 1 Second’. Watch her first performance on Mnet ‘M Count Down’ on May 22.
