Last week, MBC revealed that they would be broadcasting a “SM Town Live in Paris” special program. It looks like MBC has another treat for SM Town fans in the form of a ‘Hallyu special’ on “Come To Play“.
On June 16th, MBC’s “Come to Play” producers revealed, “On June 22nd, SM Entertainment artists will be joining us for the MBC’s “Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Won Hee’s Come to Play” Hallyu Special, which will take place at the MBC Dream Center in Ilsan.”
According to the producers, a total of 12 SM Town artists (TVXQ, four Super Junior members, four SNSD members, and two f(x) members) will be present for this special. It took much effort from the production crew to cast these artists who are popular not only at home, but all over the world.
MBC will be broadcasting a special program titled, “Hallyu, Crossing Over Asia, Into The World“, which will cover “SM Town Live in Paris” and the hot response to Korean singers internationally. The “Come to Play – SM Hallyu Special” is scheduled to be released around that date as well.
KBS has announced plans of creating a new singing variety program featuring an all idol cast titled “Immortal Song 2.”
According to a KBS representative, SHINee’s Jonghyun, 2PM’s Junsu, 2AM’s Changmin, SISTAR’s Hyorin, and B2ST’s Yoseob are in the current line-up.
“Immortal Song 2″ will be the second version of the original “Immortal Song” program which ran from 2007 to 2009. In the first season, legendary Korean artists taught Tak Jae Hoon and Shin Jung Hwan among others how to sing some of their top hit songs. This second season will feature a similar concept, but with idol singers tackling the songs of their seniors and singing it before them to be judged.
On April 29th, “Immortal Song 2″’s PD Kwon Jae Young explained, ”Singers who are considered to be legendary will be viewing the performances of idol singers singing their songs. They will judge and also give suggestions to the idols. The idol stars will be given the opportunity to show off a more diverse charm and will be able to show their weekly improvements to the viewers.
He continued, “It is completely different from ‘I Am a Singer‘. It is not a survival program and so there will be no eliminated members. It is a ‘nice’ variety show that doesn’t require such a difficult processes.”
The show will have a total of three rules: First, they will not be able to show off their other talents. Although the purpose of the program is to allow idol singers to sing joyfully, it is because this program is not for the sole purpose of ‘fun’. The priority is to sh
ed light on vocal talents that have been hidden behind mere the glitz and glamor of the stage.
Second, they will not be able to imitate their senior-singers.
While they will choose a senior singer and will choose one of their songs to sing in their own color and style, producers believe it will be too easy for viewers to criticize them if they imitate the style of the original singers.
Third, the idol singers who are participating cannot be distressed. Though having a competitive mindset is bound to happen, they cannot let it show or affect their performance on the show.
So what do you think? Looking forward to “Immortal Song 2″?

SMTOWN LIVE heading to South America in July
May 4, 2011 at 2:12 pm
Will SMTOWN be heading to South America this summer?
It has been revealed that a South American tour with SM Entertainment artists including BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, and f(x) is currently in the works. According to several music industry representatives, SM Entertainment will be continuing their ‘SM Town Live World Tour‘ by heading to South America in July, making stops in Brazil, Chile, among other countries.
The reason for this South American tour is that the popularity of SM Entertainment artists in these countries has been steeply rising. In February, a Brazilian TV network held a survey regarding which Korean artist they would like to have visit their country. The top four spots were claimed by Super Junior, BoA, SNSD, and SHINee, respectively. Also, last November the Korean Cultural Industry Foundation held a survey amongst Brazilian fans regarding popular Korean singers. The results revealed that Super Junior, SHINee, BoA, and SNSD came in at 1st, joint 2nd, and 3rd place respectively.
Last month, SM Entertainment announced that they would be heading to France for their ‘SM Town Live in Paris‘ concert on June 10th. As this concert sold out almost immediately after tickets were released, the possibility of adding another day is currently being reviewed.
The ‘SM Town Live World Tour’ has already made stops in Los Angeles, Tokyo and Shanghai. By visiting both Europe and South America, this tour will become a legitimate world tour.

orters visits SHINee at SM Entertainment
April 21, 2011 at 12:15 am
On April 20th, French reporters and Hallyu fanclub ‘Korean Connection‘ finally made their visit to the SM Entertainment building, where they met up with the members of SHINee.
Interacting with 54 French fans, SHINee also took part in a 30-minute long interview with major press agencies, talking about the culture of K-Pop and their extensive popularity overseas. The French media outlet, ‘Le Monde’, asked questions on SHINee’s pre-debut training, their promotions all across Asia, and whether they were aware of their popularity in Europe.
Before the interview began, music videos were played, which immediately drew cries of joy from the audience. Despite the lyrics being fully in Korean, every fan followed along and even chanted the members’ names.
When SHINee finally made their way to the front, the fans welcomed them by singing “Hello“.
SHINee also confirmed at the event, “On June 10th, we’ll be holding an SM TOWN LIVE concert in Paris, France, at ‘Le Zenith de Paris’.”

Back to last December,mereka menggelar duakonserdi Tokyodengantotal24.000fans,tapilebihdari 100.000orangbenar-benarantusiasmendapatkan tiket konser tersebut.
Melihat pengalaman SHINee tampil di Abbey Road Studios London terasa spesial karena mereka bukan hanya artis Asia pertama yang tampil di Abbey, tapi juga studio sebesar Abbey yang hanya menampung 130 orang saat mereka konser sangat terasa atmosfer keramahannya.
Shawol London atau siapapun yang ingin berada diantara ke-130 orang itu harus menunggu special projects yang ada di mobile download sites Recochoku and MOBAEMI starting on April 28th. Tidak banyak detail dari momen penting itu yang diketahui publik, dan sejauh ini kelihatannya hanya itu cara untuk dapatkan undangan special performances SHINee in Abbey Road Studios.Mereka berkomitmen untuk the upcoming performance, "karena itu adalah studio terkenal, kami akan sangat memerhatikan performances kami. Kami harap kalian akan melihat hal itu dari sisi baiknya, karena tidak peduli dimana kami berada, kami akan selalu bekerja keras untuk membalas dukungan kalian dengan lagu dan performance yang prima dengan dibarengi SHINee's fashion".

Jonghyun SHINee, yangsering terlihat di depan umum sejak cedera Ligamen pada pergelangan kakinya tahun lalu, merayakan ulang tahunnya yang ke-21 pada 8 April 2011 lalu. Selain merayakannya dengan fans dan member lainnya (Onew, Key, Minho, Taemin), ia juga menulis message di official site SHINee, : Hello, this is bling-bling Jonghyun Thank you so much for the birthday wishes^^ I’ve received birthday wishes last year, and even the year before that,
but they feel different every year It’s been a while since we met.. Let’s continue to meet from here on out ^^

Kue,... Hmm yumyum. :P jumlah lilinnya21 gak ya?? "Saengil Chuka Hamnida, Jongie Oppa.. :) Wish You All The Best... okay?? ;P"
SHINee’s Jonghyun answers the question, “When did you get so handsome?”
Talks between SHINee’s Jonghyun and his fans have been heating up the internet.
Baru-baru ini ditemukan pada salah satu komunitas online, posting berjudul "Jonghyun stops using internet" muncul. This captured conversation yang melibatkan artis dan fansnya ini didapat dari salah satu situs yang memungkinkan fans dan artis ngobrol bersama.
Salah satu fans menggunakan line TV populer SBS drama Secret Garden "Kapan Kim Jong Hyun terlihat begitu tampan? Tahun lalukah?" untuk memancing Jongie menjawab pertanyaan, lalu ia menjawab "Tidak, Aku selalu tampan," membuatnya menjadi artis yang memuji diri sendiri (read: narsis).
Yang lainnya pun bertanya, "Sejak kapan? I admit it's right! Karena itu aku jatuh cinta padamu..", dan dengan cool Jonghyun menjawab "Aku tidak menyuruhmu jatuh cinta padaku." membuat tawa fans menguar.
Komentar lainnya, "Ini lucu deh,Jonghyun imut banget.", "Idola yang sungguh ramah! Keep talk to us!", dan ''Cepat sembuh ya.. jadi aku bisa melihatmu.. I miss you!!:)".
Witty and fan loving? Is there anything more to love about this already-perfect idol? Hahaha.. LOL ^^
"Love Jonghyun banget kalo ngeliat artikel ini.. hehe... :D Keep spirit Oppa!!! Langgeng ya sama SSK.. XP Kapan ke Indonesia lagi?? Jangan pernah nyalahin Shawol Indonesia ya... :)"
