NOTICE!

Hello all! I know I've not been blogging much on thekpopbeat but thats because..

WE'VE GOT A NEW HOME! 2, infact!

Do visit these new homes of ours and show your support! The Blogspot homepage might still blog but I believe it is easier for people to read via Wordpress and Livejournal.

Dare to 드림

Sorry for not having updated, all! Recently been very busy with studies (preparing for my major 'O' Level exams) and all.



Recently, everyone's beloved Kim Bum and Son Dam-bi were on Arirang's Showbiz Extra talking about their new drama.

Being Son Dam-bi's debut drama as an actress, this show would definitely gain a lot of viewers. It was made even juicier when Allkpop mentioned that Kim Bum was to have a kissing scene with Son Dam-bi on the drama..

Along with the all-star cast of Joo Jin-mo, Oh Dal-Soo, Choi Yeo-jin and Park Sang-won, lets hope this drama gets popular!

Yours truly can't wait to see it either!

I know these are old tweets from JYP's Twitter, but when I saw his newer tweets (faved in my own Twitter below), I couldn't resist but to share the news with those who aren't Twitter-users yet! From his tweets we can also see that WG is doing well in the States right now.

WG hwaiting!

Yes.. yesssssssssssss.... July 26th.. I am not lagging in time nor am I blind.

Just lagging in terms of sharing some joy.




Yeah I am pretty much a 2PM fanatic. So seeing JYP's tweets made me real happy today.

He also has pictures of him choreographing the 2PM dance but sadly no video. I would really like to see what JYP has in store for all us Hottest!

We're waiting eagerly OH. YES. WE. ARE!

Wild Bunny now showing!

Yes I know, tis' a tad bit late.

But hey, no one should miss out when Wild Bunny is now avaliable for downloading! Some people online have put up links to download on MegaUpload but I can't seem to be able to download it. Something about "download limit exceeded". I hate it when I get that message, but oh well.

Here are parts of the first episode, enjoy!

2PM Says Goodbye

2PM performed their song "I Hate You" on Mnet's M! Countdown for the last time and won first place again.

They will be closing promotions on the 19th, which really makes me sad. But looking at the wins they've bagged for their album 2:00PM Time for Change, it changes all that and makes me feel rather proud.

Because it was their last performance before their promotions closed, the boys decided that instead of telling their Hottest fans, "I Hate You"!, they decided to perform their hit song "Again & Again", and for the first time ever on stage, "I Might Come Back".

Hidden message understood, boys. ;)




Though.. I did feel that it was a bad transition between the two songs. :X

(Does anyone realise that Khun doesn't have a part on You Might Come Back? He was the only person not carrying a mic throughout the whole YMCB song, but had a mic in his hands when they transitioned to Again & Again. Aw..)

They should've promoted You Might Come Back along with I Hate You and Again & Again. Its SUCH a good song and I always listen to it (okay fine I listen to all 2PM songs) on my iPod.

Don't worry, this isn't a picture from their final performance.
Notice that Junho isn't wearing his chin mask in the final performance?

Hottest will miss 2PM! Do come back soon :)
Saranghae 2PM! Hwaiting!


p.s. Their Wild Bunnies sitcom will be out soon on the 21st of July, so we Hottest won't be missing them too much!



It looks like it will be funny. Well, which show featuring or starring 2PM would NOT be funny, you tell me? Given the boys' charismatic and hilarious personalities. Now I shall eagerly await Wild Bunnies to be out.

A countdown of my own to 21st July:

4 more days!

Minzy drops out of High School?

2NE1's maknae Minzy has decided to drop out of high school.

She will be taking her qualification exams later, just like what Daesung of Big Bang did.

Well, I guess its a good thing cuz now she can totally focus on 2NE1's activities. Being sort of a new group, they'll naturally be terribly busy with appearances on TV etc. Its not like she can't go back and take her examinations again just because she's stopped schooling.

Then again, its so tough for all these celebrities cuz they have to work so hard at balancing school work and their celebrity activities.

Minzy hwaiting!





I found this video of them on Youtube. They're a bunch of funny girls and I didn't realise that till I watched this:

The One Day boys are twits! / WY and TY for Inkigayo

Currently adding a lot of K-Pop songs to my playlist before I put it here on TKB.

The One Day boys twit!

I just HAD to follow the 2PM boys + Jo Kwon (from 2AM) yesterday night before going to sleep. Its really boring as for now, Khun's the only one who updated his Twitter. Then again, he has only updated it once. Despite the little (or in this case, none at all) updates from the boys, they have at least a thousand followers.

Keyword: AT LEAST.


2PM
Jaebeom
Nichkhun
Wooyoung

Junho

We shall await the boys' Tweets with anticipation. Can't imagine how many girls (including Yours Truly) has been checking their Twitter pages.. hmm..


2PM's Wooyoung and Taecyeon for SBS Inkigayo
(Yes, fans everywhere, REJOICE.)





It is said that Wooyoung and Taec, along with the new actress Ha Yeon Joo, will take over Eun Ji Won, F.T Island's Lee Hongki, and Yoo Seol Ah as the new MCs for SBS Inkigayo.

This is not surprising (to me) at all really, as the boys' both have so much charisma and are funny on-screen. Not that hosting Inkigayo needs them to be funny.. but you get the point. Not too sure about Ha Yeon Joo, though.

Ha Yeon Joo

Fans everywhere will be waiting for July 28th, when they will take over, MCing on the broadcast. (Take note of the date, fangirls AND boys!)

Eun Ji Won, Lee Hongki and Yoo Seol Ah will make their last appearance on SBS Inkigayo on the 19th.
