I know people hate akp but they had this article that said this: "IU's agency Loen Entertainment is pushing forward with the acquisition of SISTAR's agency Starship Entertainment according to a report from the Korea Economy. Following the investment banking and entertainment industries on November 22, the largest stockholders of Starship Entertainment, President Kim Si Dae and director Seo Hyun Joo, are in the midst of finishing up the merger and acquisition negotiation. Both parties do not have largely different views on the terms of sale, so it appears they will enter into a formal contract some time next month." cr: http://www.allkpop.com/article/2013/11/loen-entertainment-in-the-process-of-buying-and-taking-over-starship- The source is a credible one so I think the Starship Ent & Loen is almost a done deal and we'll only hear about it after it's finished. When and if this acquisition goes through, I would really love to have an IU and K. Will duet. I remember when they did a funny duet of Nagging on a variety but they sounded good together just before K. Will apologized and went funny voice. It really is too bad that Gain left although I'm sure she'll do well where ever she goes. I don't know her new company so I can't comment on the move though.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving for all those who celebrate Thanksgiving. Anyways, Loen Tree website is up and running. http://loen-tree.com/?lang=en Grabbed IU's pic from there. The site can be viewed in Korean and English edit: I did find it interesting that under Loen Tree label are some actors, not just singers.

So I'm not the only one. I actually think BoTong and David make a lovely couple. I tend to root for the underdog and so I'm finding myself rooting for this couple. I think as the story progresses, we may see BoTong maturing also. I mean I see even Mate's character being developed and changed as the story progresses so it would make sense to do the same with BoTong though that maturity may come about because of Mate. Anyways, I loved this scene from ep 1 (or was it ep 2)

From IU's concert cr: iumushimushi If I understand this correctly, this was after the concert where she came back and had after concert performance for those who were still there.
-
If I remember correctly, she wrote more songs but they got rejected since it did not fit the concept of Modern Times album. I remember there was a short clip that IU played when she was promoting a video game but that never made it in. I can understand but I hope to see more of IU's song.
-
I don't think anyone posted this here yet but this is called Beautiful Song a duet with Cho Jung Suk for YTBLSS, composed by IU. It's too bad it wasn't included as part of the official OST. Anyways, this is IU and CJS's gift to the fans

Sorry, I did not mean it in a negative sense. I think this is could be a very good thing for both sides but I was reading too many negatives about how it was not a good idea and what not. I think while Sistar and other Starship artists are talented, they could benefit from this acquisition. I guess we can all wait to see how this falls out. Personally, I would love to see a duet between IU and K. Will. As for how the companies will be structured, I agree with you that it's likely that Loen will keep the production staff and others that are at Starship. I think it would be lovely to see Loen and Starship artists start being more friendly if this acquisition goes through. After that maybe more collaboration like between Loen and Starship artists.

i saw the news about loen's possible acquisition of starship. what do you guys think of it? i was like yes! because i want to see a k. will and iu duet. i noticed some people on the other threads were like no! but i mean i can see why starship would want to. despite their digital hits, their fan cafe number is very, very small and i still remember the sistar's concert fiasco. on the other hand, i wonder how this will affect iu. positive? negative?
-
well, i'm rooting for this drama. plus, i heard that we will definitely get to see him short haired in this drama! not for the first 2 eps obviously but later on. maybe his curse will finally break with this. :P i'm keeping my fingers crossed since i'm slowly seeing positive reviews from viewers esp about how they like iu's acting and how funny she is.

OMG, Beautiful Man/Pretty Man/Bel Ami is just so funny. It does what it sets out to do and the story line is more complex than I thought it would be. I wouldn't worry about the rating. It may go up if the writers continue to do a good job. If it doesn't, I'll watch it it they can keep the drama interesting. As for IU on variety, oh goodness, she is great on it. Although I think she really likes some of the radio shows like Yoo Ina's and few others. Yes, I agree. It felt like there must be a lot of immature kids in their early teens or something watching it to leave those types of comments. Even with all the eye candy, I cringed my through 3 episodes of Heirs before I called it quits. PM on the other hand is engaging enough to keep my interest and IU is hilarious in it. Ah, actor IU is progressing!

Thank you for the translations. I browsed your site too. All, below is a translation provided by squishy (cr: iu-jjang) Kim Botong’s message “A deep secret that a really common and average girl wants to convey about a pretty man†“Oh yeah! Today is finally the first broadcast of ‘Pretty Man’. Ahh. Sorry sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I’m called Kim Botong. I really like ‘Pretty Man’ and my lifelong wish is to see Mate oppa’s collarbones just once, even if it means I have to fall into a pool of water. I’m glad to be able to enjoy ‘Pretty Man’ once it’s aired, but I’m feeling worried too. Because my ‘competitors = those with eyes for my Mate’ will only increase. Even so, I’ll defend my Mate oppa using my own methods all the way.†"Oh yes, do you know? The drama ‘Pretty Man’ is based on a comic with the same title. It’s the work of the genius comic artist Cheon Gyeyang, who continuously produces hits. Also, another startling discovery is that writer Yoo Yeong-ah who produced 2013’s top box office hit, the movie ‘Gift from Room 7’ is working with us too. Let’s look forward to how the two trendsetters will work together to bring the comic to life. Nevermind that’s not necessary, writers, just take care of our Mate oppa." “There has also been great interest surrounding my fashion sense. I would sell my soul to the devil to transform my figure into one as perfect as Hong Yura (Han Chaeyoung)’s, but alas I can’t, so I can only rely on my distinctive and unique sense. Besides the corsage around my neck, please look forward to the upcoming winter hit, Botong’s fashion. Are you curious about the girl’s true nature? Then stay tuned tonight at 10pm on KBS 2TV!†Translated by squishy with love

Hi. Just dropped by to introduce myself. Noticed these guys in IU's Red Shoes making of video and checked out their music videos and found that they're very talented and funny. Well, that's it. I'll be dropping by periodically. I'm looking forward to their comeback since those composers and lyricist are top notch!

OMG, yes! I loved their dates and their Wando "date" too. kekekeke I know he's a lot older but they were so cute together. I can't believe he's in his 30s. Anyways, IU was so well spoken during her PM press media interview.
-
hahah ... i actually liked some of the episodes. i think the problem was the writer. he really did not know how to advance the story well. i liked all the actors in it just fine. i even liked iu's acting. i think the writer could have done so much better than what he did. in any case, i loved the first few episodes, i forget to which # and then some of the middle and some of the later episodes. soon shin was a mixed bag but i loved the interaction between soon shin and joon ho (iu & cho jung suk).

It's hard to say since it hasn't even started yet but here's a preview of the drama. Based on what I'm seeing here, it doesn't seem as bad as I feared. I mean the manhwa that this is based on seems interesting, at least the the few pages of it that fans posted for it seem to be. I will admit though that I will be watching it for IU and will probably watch it up to eps 4/5 to see if I'll continue. I loved watching her act in Soon Shin and it was a pleasure to watch her grow in that drama. I remember IU saying recently, I think that it was the picnic one that was posted on page 15, that she sometimes feels like she's still stuck in middle school and hasn't really had a chance to grow in areas that others have because she's been so focused on one thing or something to that effect. I'll have to watch that picnic special again. Anyways, I think this is one area where she has very little experience and I'm looking forward to seeing how she tackles it. PM is going to be so star studded and loaded with mature actors that I was worried for her until I saw the preview. Anyways, watch the preview and see if it interests you. 131118 KBS2드ë¼ë§ˆ.예ìœë‚¨ìž.하ì¼ë¼ì´íЏ.장근ì„.ì•„ì´ìœ .ì œë°œíšŒ by WorldPrinceJKS4

i guess i'll give it a try but i still can't standd kim gura. iu is an intelligent, thoughtful young woman and i always find her pretty witty and funny in shows like the one you linked. also, i'm really looking forward to the pretty man drama. the character she plays is so 180 degrees from her real self. i think this will be tough role for her but one i'm anticipating because i think she'll learn a lot from it. so even though i'm busy next week,i will make time to watch her drama pretty man.
-
i decided to not watch that one. i knew that it may be rough for her and i hate to watch shows with kim gura. he is such a douche bag. i don't really like any show with him on it. i know netizens were up in arm over how kara acted on the radio star show but i was more disgusted by kim gura. he was rude and plainly forgot his own scandal.
-
saw it. i do think she's being a lot more tentative with her words and actions since she knows that anything she says will be used against her. i'm sure that with time, she will gain her confidence back. the weird thing is i think she was relatively confident even when she was doing her interviews for her drama ytblss. it's when she's doing these variety shows that i see her being hesitant. maybe that's why i support her acting activities so much and am looking forward to it. i loved her album modern times but i can see that she needs some break from the idol world too. so i think it would be good if she can do something like music release followed by a drama or something. besides, if i remember correctly, iu said that acting in her drama helps her with music too. anyways, loved iu on that show. i know i might piss off some suzy fans but she really does not come off as very witty or intelligent person in that show.

akisame, i was tired when i wrote the one with the gee cover and realized why you replied the way you did. i meant to write that she didn't but got the two confused. i went ahead and edited it after i relooked at what i wrote. crud. anyways, a lot of people use the pic from the gee cover to fasely show that iu did not have double eyelids and you can't see the eyelids at all since she's not wearing any makeup. but if you look at the vid and zoom in, you can see that she has double eyelids. my god, i should really be proofread what i write since i get my words jumbled when i get annoyed about something.
-
i saw some of those. i even saw one extreme one where i could not recognize the before and after girl edit: this was a good makeover
-
no problem. it really is amazing though the amount of time that these antis or whoever they are must have spent trying to find just the right shot to support their case. she has some serious antis. sigh.
-
oh one another thing, i hate how some people use iu's gee guitar cover pic to say she did have double eye when she actually didn't. see below hahah: i edited after i realized that i got my word mixed around
-
i would say no. first, she was like 15 yrs old (counting american system) and chubby for the picture that they were using for comparison. also, she was performing on music stages, trying to get her foot in the door and perform anywhere she can. i don't think she had the time and i'm certain that if she did, she would not have been able to perform for those music shows and other events. besides look at you're the best lee soon shin photo. if their claim is right, her jaw should not look like that. i think it's weight loss and puberty. also, i have similar problem where when i gain weight, because of my face shape, it goes around my jaw line and it ends up looking more square-ish. and this upper pic is younger iu before she gained all that weight. and look at this set of pics for why i think she didn't get her jaw done. this was taken from 12/31/2011 according to those people accusing iu of shaving her jaw, by this point, it should be noticeable and this was during the you & i period. so i think those photos were ones that they picked really carefully to convince people of their side. oddly enough, i can see the younger iu in the right hand side pic one where she's posing with that other person second, for the eyes, she stil has the same shape that they say is gone. according to their claim, by the time these photos below were taken, she had all that work done but looking at the pics below, she still has the same shape. the area near the tear duct and the corners of the eyes also that publication that they are touting that says iu admitted it, they are wrong. the writer who wrote that never interviewed iu period. that was the korean online version got taken down but, unforunately, because of some big event and missteps, the print ended up going out. also, take a look at the pics below. if we are to believe their accusations, the two eyes should not resemble each other edit: in any case, i like iu the way she is. it wouldn't bother me if she had ps but it does bother me that people try to propagate false information about her.
