f(x)'s Sulli ill with cold, unable to film for 'Music Bank'


SM Entertainment let fans know that Sulli was unable to film with f(x) for 'Music Bank' due to a bad cold.


Only four f(x) members performed "Red Light" on yesterday's 'M! Countdown' where the group took the #1 trophy, and fans were worried after seeing Sulli was missing once again on the 'Music Bank' stage. It appears that Sulli's condition worsened after this week's recording of 'Show Champion', and she won't be promoting on music shows for the time being.

SM Entertainment stated on July 18, "Due to a cold and body aches, Sulli didn't feel well and wasn't able to participate in the 'Music Bank' filming. It's been decided that she will return to promote on shows only after she recovers."


Get well soon, Sulli!

With T-ara's Jiyeon as the guest on the July 17 installment of KBS 2TV's 'Happy Together 3,' the MCs brought up the fact that they heard Jiyeon came out on top in a beauty ranking amongst the idols.

Comedian Kim Shin Young stated that she heard first place was Suzy, second YoonA, and then third was Jiyeon to which the T-ara member replied, "I was number one!" in a thick voice that surprised the other MCs and caused teasing.  Laughing, Jiyeon apologized jokingly, "Sorry.  It was so sudden because I felt wronged."

She explained with pride that a cable program did a survey in which she came out in first place, Suzy in second, and YoonA in third.  MC Yoo Jae Suk teased her for remembering the list.

Heechul reveals he first heard about Park Bom's drug scandal four years ago + says good-bye to 'Ssul Jeon'


On the July 17 edition of JTBC's 'Ssul Jeon', the members discussed the big drug controversy surrounding Park Bom, who was revealed by media outlet Segye Ilbo to have attempted to illegally smuggle amphetamines into South Korea from the United States back in 2010, but was not tried under a court of law.  Although the news came out very belatedly this year, Heechul revealed that he had first heard about it around the time it actually happened.

Heechul stated, "Celebrities hear about rumors like this very early on.  I was drinking with some reporters [four years ago] at a bar when this topic had came up.  The reporters said, 'YG is going to burst soon,' but the report didn't even come out in the end.  I thought, 'This is why reporters get so much criticism,' and thought it was just a false rumor, but the report came out recently."

Meanwhile, netizens are asking Park Bom to step down from her variety program 'Roommate' due to the amphetamine issue as well as cursing scandal (a bleeped out portion during the Park Min Woo driving scene) and Heechul will be stepping down from his post in 'Ssul Jeon' by personal choice.  He relayed his good-bye message on the show, explaining that it was too difficult for him to talk about his close friends and that he would be going back and forth overseas due to the busy Super Junior comeback schedule! 

 You can watch that in the clip below.
