Kim Ok-hee and her daughter, Kang Hyon-hee, 7, at the Seojung growth clinic in Seoul.


SEOUL, South Korea — With acupuncture needles trembling from the corners of her mouth like cat’s whiskers, Moon Bo-in, 5, whined with fear. But the doctor, wearing a yellow gown patterned with cartoon characters, poked more needles into her wrists and scalp.

“It’s O.K., dear,” said her mother, Seo Hye-kyong. “It will help make you pretty and tall. It will make you Cinderella.”

well, i'm 4'11" and as much as it causes certain inconveniences and makes me the butt of height jokes, i personally love it. it empowers me to work harder to prove to those who underestimate and overlook (literally too) me that i could do stuff as well, or even better than them XD

When two vocal powerhouses come together, it can either be too much or wayy perfect; and in this case it came out as perfect as can be.

Brown Eyed Girls leader JeA and Big Mama’s Lee Young Hyun wanted to collab with each other for a long time and finally got a chance to as they team up for a duet. The ballad track had fans waiting in anticipation and is already listed for an OST that is set for 2010.

It is known that actress Park ShinHye has recently visited a village Tapatali in Nepal.

She is there to personally deliver fan-prepared stationery for children in the village. Even though by country policy, many children got the chance to go to school there, many facilities were still lacking for the children.

She also visited the homes of the needy and took care of a 12-year-old child’s sibling and their mother. In addition, she also went down to the quarry to help out workers who live in the slums, carrying the rocks and a big hammer with her small hand.

Park ShinHye even worn the Santa Clause costumes making Christmas happen in the village by giving out presents and taking photo – making this Christmas a special one for the kids who only know about Christmas through stories told by others.

She said, “Looking at the smiles of the children who live in such difficult situation, I wanted to spread more love so I joined this volunteering project. But I felt sorry about that because I felt I have received more love.”

Because Junho likes dominant girls.

On the latest episode of KBS Shin Dong-yup and Shin Bong-sun's Champagne, it was revealed that Jang Geun Suk turned down an offer to play the rich meanie Goo Joon Pyo in the hit drama series Boys Over Flowers!

Jang Geun Suk explained that, as he was looking at potential projects, the two dramas that really caught his eye were Beethoven Virus and Boys Over Flowers. He wanted to do both but felt that Beethoven Virus had more to offer as a learning experience since many senior actors would be appearing on the show. With that in mind, he got a role in Beethoven Virus, and the role of Goo Joon Pyo eventually went to Lee Minho.

Jang Geun Suk seems to have no regrets, and said that Lee Minho portrayed the character well and that, if Jang Geun Suk had taken on the role, it might not have been as good. Perhaps Jang saw the success of Boys Over Flowers and decided to make it up by starring in You're Beautiful, another show with a large teen fan base.

Although we've been bombarded with girl groups this year, this definitely doesn't sound like your average rookie group.

It turns out that four of the anchorwomen who worked for the short-lived news channel, Naked News Korea, have been recruited to form a girl group called the Naked Girls. Predictably, these girls will only be suitable to the 18+ age group, since their performances are expected to be highly provocative. The Naked Girls will reportedly start a generation of a brand new genre of stages called "sexycal" - a combination word of "sexy" and "musical."

A representative stated on the 22nd,
"We have gathered Minkyung, Jaekyung, Hyeji and Taehee to form this girl group, and will officially debut under the name Naked Girls in January next year. Their performances will be composed of inappropriate songs and choreography, definitely not suitable for youth. The girls' activities will be focused more on musicals rather than national television."


So what do you guys think? Do you think these girls can last in the music industry just by turning on those male audiences? Guess we'll just have to see.

Oh the stories that Strong Heart reveals!

On the Christmas edition of the show, SNSD maknae Seohyun decided to reveal her dark past as a Corleone family member, extorting money from rival family businesses.

Just kidding of course, but the girl does have some attitude when it comes to money.

Seohyun revealed that she was always careful about her money, down to 10's of won (less than 1 cent!).

Of course, the issue came up, "Has anyone in SNSD borrowed money from you and not repayed?"

Somewhat shyly, Seohyun revealed that Yuri had once borrowed a whopping 1920 won (~$2.00) to buy jellies back when Seohyun was in middle school. She casually put it off saying that it didn't matter anymore when Shindong commented, "The way I see it, when she says it doesn't matter anymore, she's actually saying, 'At least pay it back now.'"

After being sidetracked, Seohyun continued with her story. "So because we have 9 members in the group, our schedules are pretty tight. If we have something scheduled at 6 A.M. we have to get up at 3 or 4 to be on time. If we aren't, everything gets pushed back. So I told everyone, 'For every minute late, I'll collect 1000 won (~$1.00) from everyone. I think I've collected more than 1 million won (~$1000)."

So who's been penalized the most?

"Jessica unni... I usually have to wake her up 5 times. We were an hour late once because of her."

That's $60 right there!

Taeyeon confirmed Seohyun's mobster like behavior, "Once I was second into the car and she said to me, 'Unni, you're a minute late, $1 please.'"

And where does all the money go? The girls use it for necessities such as groceries and the like.

What a strong willed maknae! The guests started commenting, "Maybe Seohyun should become the leader!" and "She would fit better into the National Tax Service!"

Seohyun is just AWESOME. And SM magnaes get away with everything.

Troty (트로티) is a seemingly new girl group... made up of five very young girls! There's not much information on them so far (that I can find), but they seem to come from a company called Stareast Kids. And here is their Christmasy MV!
