OhKpop stars celebrity news and gossip

There was once a time when variety was dying for MBC, but now, the same cannot be said. For the second consecutive week, MBC’s Dad! Where Are We Going? ranked as the highest rated program on Sunday night.

Real Man especially introduced its two newest recruits to the show, privates Jang Hyuk and ZE:A’s Hyung Sik. The recent episode especially highlighted Hyung Sik, who proved to be slightly clueless, reminding viewers of how Sam Hammington when he first started

On the recent episode of MBC’s “Sebakwi,” which aired on June 8, various celebrities including members of 2PM and MBLAQ appeared as special guests to discuss dating and marriage. When the MC asked about ideal types, Nichkhun stated to everyone’s surprise, “I like players.” He then explained, “I like sports players. I have no preference to the type of sports, but my type is someone like Yuna Kim.” Yuna Kim is a South Korean figure skater who won the Olympic gold medal in 2010 and is the current World Champion

Natthew Natthew is gaining momentum in Korea For the past several years K-Pop artists have been trying their hardest to break into mainstream music industries around the world.Korean music has already overtaken most of Asia including Japan, China, Indonesia and Malaysia and K-Pop idols have routinely sold out concerts throughout the continent.

Shinhwa Broadcast Upsets Viewers with Mistreatment of AndyFirst generation  ajosshiidol group Shinhwa has found themselves at the center of controversy this week due to what many have complained was offensive and inappropriate content that aired on a recent episode of Shinhwa Broadcast. While the variety show is famous for featuring all manner of shenanigans, the abusive treatment of Andy — who was, over the course of the episode, kidnapped by the so-called “Infinity Girls” (Kim Shin-young, Shin Bong-sun, Song Eun-yi, Baek Bo-ram, Kim Sook, and Hwangbo), tied up, subjected to repeated groping and forced kisses, blindfolded, and made to walk into objects that would purposely hit him in his rather sensitive nether regions, did not sit well with its audience

Since first arriving to Korea in 2008, I've been blessed with the opportunity to travel to every corner of the peninsula and Jeju. This month on the The Korea Blog, I'm venturing down to the southeastern coastal city of Gyeongju (경주). The city is often referred to as the "museum without walls" because of the large number of historical relics unearthed during archaeological excavations. In this first installment of the series, I visit one of the best known sites in the city and the definitive religious asset: Bulguksa (불국사)

San E Signs with Brand New Music, Unleashes “Rap Circus”Rather than saying that SM Entertainment is the only company with a basement holding talented people, it seems like all of the Big Three have their own dungeons. SME holds the obvious Jino and Zhang Li-yin, with Henry recently being allowed to venture a bit on his own. YG Entertainment has Gummy, who hasn’t released anything outside of OSTs in Korea since 2011, and only a mini-album in Japan a couple of months ago, and Se7en, whose last release before entering the military was easy listening for some, but disappointing for others
