Official ZE:A Thread

[Nikki B.]

Minwoo is already doing his mandatory military service.  There was no ceremony or event. 

 

After working on ZE:A's album, Minwoo is said to have spent his free time with his members and traveled to his hometown. The day before his enlistment, Minwoo posted some photos of himself on his Instagram, showing off his new short haircut looking ready to report for duty! Judging by his smiles, it seems he's liking his new short cut!

 

We wish Minwoo the best and hopefully those 21 months will speed by in no time!

ZE:A 'Continue' on with MV from their 'Best Album'!

 

 

ZE:A are back to remind us the importance of continuing on. They've dropped the music video to go along with their new title track "Continue", and we have to say it's really quite ear-gasmic and the MV is simple yet well done, allowing us to walk down memory lane.

 

Their 'Best Album' released today includes a total of 23 previously released tracks plus the one new track "Continue" along with never before seen photos in the physical album!

 

"Continue" is created by the composing team e.one, and it's one you'll find yourself playing over and over when you need a bit of ZE:A in your life, especially with Minwoo having enlisted recently.

 

Check it out above!

ZE:A's Hyungsik looks adorable and chic in 'Elle'

 

 

Singing, acting, looks, charms, ZE:A's Hyungsik seems to have it all! The modelesque idol showed off his swoon-worthy looks in the new 'Elle' photoshoot video!

 

While the pictorial was shot on the beautiful streets of Paris, France, he confessed that, "It was my first time travelling to Europe. As soon as I arrived in Paris, I fell in love with everything from the alleyways to the buildings. I think that in itself was a time of healing."  

When asked about his most recent drama 'High Society', which aired in July, he stated "I feel like I took one more step up. Park Hyungsik, who people thought had one color, had the opportunity to show a different color through this valuable drama."

 

You can check out the full photoshoot below, and pick up an October copy of 'Elle' to read the full interview!

ZE:A's Kwanghee transforms into a complete hottie for 'CeCi'

 

 

Hubba-hubba. ZE:A's Kwanghee transformed 180 degrees into a swoon-worthy hunk in the October issue of 'Ceci' magazine. Kwanghee's a good-looking guy, but we tend to laugh at his jokes more so than swoon at his looks.

 

Who else did a double-take looking at these photos? Seriously, who else? Kwanghee shed his signature goofy grin and merry persona for a more charismatic and charming image. Even the staff on set were rumoured to have been shocked at the drastic change. Is this the birth of a new heartbreaker? 

 

Check out the rest of the photoshoot below and pick up an October issue of 'Ceci'!

ZE:A's Siwan and actor Lee Sung Min to teach Kwanghee how to act in 'Infinity Challenge'

 

 

This is going to be one entertaining 'Infinity Challenge' episode. The upcoming guests for the popular show are ZE:A's Siwan and actor Lee Sung Min! As you might know, the two starred in the popular and critically acclaimed drama 'Misaeng' as well as the hit film 'The Attorney'.

 

The reason the two are coming on the show, is to be Kwanghee's acting coaches! This coming week's complaint topic is from a viewer who asked, 'Please fix Kwanghee's foot acting'. And that's exactly what 'Infinity Challenge' will do, with the help of fellow ZE:A member Siwan and Lee Sung Min. No one can deny that the two are good at acting.

 

The episode airs on December 19. That's the only way you're going to see Siwan and Lee Sung Min help improve Kwanghee's acting!

ZE:A's Kevin impresses with 'In The End' cover

 

 

ZE:A's Kevin sang yet another awesome cover on his 'Arirang' radio program recently - Linkin Park's classic "In The End."

 

This awesome song is not easy to sing, but Kevin did so with ease, hitting every note right on with appropriate strength.  The emotions and his skills here show that he is definitely an underrated artist in the K-Pop sphere!

 

You have to listen above!

Which 'Infinity Challenge' member is ZE:A's Kwanghee most afraid of?

 

 

It's been a while since ZE:A's Kwanghee joined 'Infinity Challenge' as the sixth man, but it seems that he may have more adjusting to do!

 

On the December 19th episode, his fellow ZE:A member Siwan and Lee Sung Min showed up to give him some acting advice and training. While explaining the scenario he had to act out, they suddenly asked Kwanghee which 'Infinity Challenge' cast member he's most afraid of. 

Though he did his best to ignore their question, he eventually answered, "I'm most scared of Jung Jun Ha hyung." The camera then showed Jung Jun Ha's expression, and he did not look pleased.

Who was your guess?

Kwanghee ponders whether he's 'earned his food' in 'Elle'

 

 

Kwanghee had a photoshoot with Elle!

 

During the interview, he said, "I'm 28 this year. I participated in so many broadcast shows without any break since debut that I don't even remember what life was like before I was 26."

 

On becoming the 6th member of 'Infinity Challenge', he said, "After I became the 6th member, I looked back on myself to see if I fit the spot or not. I think it's a reward on me coming out on variety shows all the time and working my best. I'm happy that I spent my 20s without any rest. I was burdened filming 'Infinity Challenge', but the hyungs liked me a lot because I was the maknae."

He added, "I always have the sense of responsibility that I must do as well as the staff treats me. I always was certain in taking responsibility for the shows I had. On my way home with the manager, I always think, did I do well today? Did I earn my food today?"

Does Kwanghee still keep in touch with G-Dragon and Taeyang?

 

 

On MBC FM4U's 'Park Kyung Lim's 2 O'Clock Date' on January 12, Kwanghee appeared and talked about his former collaborators on 'Infinity Challenge,' G-Dragon and Taeyang.

 

"I keep in touch as always with G-Dragon and Taeyang," he revealed. "We sent one another new year's greetings via text."  Park Kyung Lim seemed unimpressed as she replied, "Doesn't everyone do that?"

 

"Honestly, I want to contact them often, but they're so busy," Kwanghee admitted.  "Recently, I went to have fun on Jeju Island, and G-Dragon gave me a lot of information [about what to do there]."

ZE:A's Siwan talks about when Kwanghee's right about cosmetic surgery

 

 

ZE:A's Siwan opened up about how Kwanghee is right about the benefits of cosmetic surgery sometimes.

On the January 19th broadcast of SBS Power FM's 'Cultwo Show', Siwan talked about getting injured on the set of his upcoming movie 'Thinking of My Older Brother'. The ZE:A member revealed, "I was injured while rehearsing. There was an action scene we were practicing with a fake sword, and I had to get treatment after my forehead was cut."

He also didn't hesitate to call out Kwanghee, saying, "There are no scars though. Medicine has really advanced these days, and it's really good. It didn't leave a mark. I understand why Kwanghee always praises it."

Siwan says he was strangled to the point of fainting on movie set 

 

 

ZE:A's Siwan and Lee Hwee Joon may just have taken things a bit too far during a filming session of 'Thinking of My Older Brother,' resulting in the idol fainting on set. This is the second known instance of Siwan hurting himself while filming for the movie, including the instance when he cut open his forehead.

As a guest on the January 19 airing of 'Cultwo Show,' Siwan confessed that he fainted while filming a fighting scene with his co-star Lee Hwee Joon. The DJs had commented, "We heard that you had a fighting scene with Lee Hwee Joon and that you fainted when he strangled your neck." 

Siwan clarified, "I was only out for a couple seconds. Hwee Joon hyung is the type to go all out [when he's acting]. So I just went along without any thought. I put my trust in him. But I didn't know that I'd actually faint." 

 

Siwan then made light of the serious story by joking, "It didn't hurt when my neck was being strangled but when the paramedic applied first aid it hurt so much that I rejected the first aid." 

 

We're glad you're okay, Siwan; just don't overdo it!
