Go Jun Hee lures the men of TVXQ in the new ‘L’EAU DE MISSHA’ CF


TVXQ is back again with another hot CF for MISSHA‘s fragrance for women ‘L’EAU DE MISSHA‘ alongside actress Go Jun Hee!
Although Go Jun Hee is ‘married’ to her onscreen husband 2AM‘s Jinwoon, the actress became part of a love triangle with TVXQ’s Yunho and Changmin in the CF.
So just what is her secret to luring two handsome men? Apparently it’s the scent of her perfume as the actress sprays a spritz before she walks by the two, immediately capturing their attention.
Check out the CF below!

Super Junior’s Yesung’s enlistment date confirmed for May 6th


The date has been set. Yesung will be enlisting next month on the 6th.
The Super Junior member had already clued his fans in at the group’s previous ‘Super Show 5‘concert, saying, “I was a trainee for 5 years, and I was with fans as a Super Junior member for 8 years. I am thankful for all the love. I’d forgotten how precious it was to sing on stage. I realized only now how much it means. While I’m not here, please take care of the Super Junior members. Please don’t forget about me,” while revealing that his enlistment was coming up this year.
The inevitable has now come with SM Entertainment announcing the confirmed enlistment date through an official press release. Yesung will be enlisting on the 6th to enter his basic military training for 4 weeks, and then will carry out the remainder of the 23 months as a public service officer after that.
He’ll still be carrying out many of his schedules until the date while he also spends some personal time, but he will unfortunately be missing out on the South American ‘Super Show 5′ concerts that will be kicking off later this month starting in Brazil, due to policies that prevent him from traveling abroad for long periods of time before enlistment.
The agency has also revealed that Yesung wishes to enlist quietly, and thus, there will not be a big sending-off event that will be held officially on the 6th.

Shindong receives ‘Half Bronze Mouth’ award for his 5th year anniversary on ‘ShimShimTaPa’


Shindong received the ‘Half Bronze Mouth’ award.
ShimShimTaPa‘ awarded Shindong the half bronze mouth as he celebrated the fifth anniversary as a DJ on the popular MBC radio show. Shindong started his DJ gig back in April 2008, and has been keeping his steady place even as his partners have come and gone over the years.
The ‘Bronze Mouth’ award is usually for MBC DJs who have been with a radio program for 10 years. Since he’s been there for only half a decade, the staff gave Shindong a ‘Half Bronze Mouth’ as a surprise event gift for his fifth anniversary. The CP of the show said, “We hope that this will be an incentive for you to fill the next 5 years here. You should be awarded the full ‘Bronze Mouth’ and not just the half so we can hang you next to Choi Yang Rak sunbae” and encouraged Shindong in his continued work.
Gyuri, who was one of his previous partners, had come over from her drama set to congratulate Shindong. She joked, “Did you give him the ‘Half Bronze Mouth’ so you can make a slave contract with him?“.
Shindong replied, “The day before I enlist, I’ll shave my head on ‘ShimShimTaPa’. When I’m discharged, I won’t go home. I’ll come straight back to ‘ShimShimTaPa’. I’ll be here for 15 more years so I can receive the ‘Golden Mouth’ award like Bae Chul Soo sunbaenim.
Congratulations to Shindong!
