The Movie, "Aiore", that The BOSS Karam is starring in is done filming?

Not too long ago, the news about Karam starring in a movie spread like wildfire.

On January, 20, 2011, the official twitter of the movie "Aiore" has been updating us on what's happening on and off camera. However, they have revealed that they finished filming the movie since last year & that their schedule was from the cold morning until the pitch black evening. Everyone really worked hard to finish this movie especially The BOSS Karam. Karam has been promoting their love series singles while filming this movie.

Since the parts for this movie are complete, all they have to do is add the OST* in the movie by the help of the CG staffs*. The PD* said that it might take some time for them to finish editing. So they would hope for everyone to be patient and wait for the movie to be revealed in public.

OST = Original Sound Track

CG = Computer Graphics

PD = Production Director

Which idols own most expensive homes ?

Hallyu’s most affluent idol stars have raked in an impressive profit, not only with their album promotions, but also with various CFs, events, dramas, and more. Even more so now, with further promotions throughout the Asian continent.

It’s no secret that the Korean celebrity with the most lavish home is legendary singer Cho Young Nam, whose villa is worth over $5.2 million. But what about amongst the idols? Where do they live?

The idol star with the most expensive home is none other than Asian prince Jang Geun Suk.

The singer and actor who is the current “it” star in Japan currently resides in a $3.5 million dollar home in Seoul. He moved into the villa last October, which has it’s own family-sized movie theater as well as a cafe. He is neighbors with actresses Lee Hae Young and Suh Ji Young.

Not only does he live in a lavish home, the idol star also has a $8.8 million dollar building to his name. The building was formerly the property of comedian Seo Sae Won and his wife Seo Jung Hee, and he purchased the two-story building last year.

The Hallyu star is busy promoting as both an actor and singer in Japan, also filming CFs whenever he gets the chance. His drama “You’re Beautiful” was also a big hit with his Japanese fans and it was reported that the singer earned $35.5 million dollars in 2011 alone.

The Japanese media predict that Jang Geun Suk earns over $800,000 per commercial, and will also be able to earn up to $90,000 per day from souvenir merchandise alone.

The celebrity idol living in the second most expensive home after Jang Geun Suk is singer, actor, and MC Lee Seung Gi.

He lives in the ‘Brownstone Legend’ building in Seoul worth $3.1 million USD and the complex includes amenities such as a fitness center, a golf range, an event venue, Audio Video theater room, and more.

The singer earned earned $4.4 million US dollars from just endorsements in 2010, and up until now has filmed 11 CFs, earning $7.1 million dollars to date from CFs alone.

The singer who has a friendly, boy-next-door image is loved by fan girls and older women alike, effectively promoting every day household items.

Big Bang‘s charismatic rapper T.O.P has a a $2.6 million dollar villa to his name, which he purchased last year. This villa is famous for being a ‘honey moon’ home, and he and actor Jung Jun Ho as well as singer Lee Hyori are residents of the same neighborhood. T.O.P’s villa consists of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The home boasts the finest interior and looks over the Han River.

Singer Kim Hyun Joong lives in a European-style villa located in the Chungdamdong area. A small garden is located outside the villa, as well as a number of parks.

His home is reported to be worth anywhere from $1.7 to $2.6 million US dollars, which he purchased after being highly successful with concerts, album sales, advertisements, and more in Japan.

The singer reportedly earned an impressive $3.5 million after ‘Boys Before Flowers‘ aired on TV, filming various CFs among other promotions. His official character U:ZOOSIN also sold over 50,000 units earning a profit of $1.7 million dollars.

Boy group JYJ who will become the first Korean artist to perform in Chile as well as Peru this March all have lavish pent houses to their names.

Kim Junsu lives in a detached townhouse in the Kyunggi-do region called ‘Winsle County’. The townhouse is separate from the main part of the home which his parents reside in.

He lives in close proximity to singer Lee Sora, and fans are calling the building, ‘the townhouse of the stars’. Junsu’s home is approximately worth $1.5 million US dollars.

Park Yoochun who is making his comeback with actress Han Ji Min in the new drama ‘Attic Prince‘ resides in an upscale villa located in the Hannam-dong region. The singer and actor has also raked in an impressive profit, filming dramas, CFs, promoting overseas and more, and this home is definitely well-deserved. He personally participated in designing the interior of the home.

Fellow member Kim Jaejoong also lives in a $2.6 million dollar penthouse located in the Samsung-dong district. His home comes with a terrace, and boasts over 3,200 sq ft.

Possibility of TVXQ reunion through Avex?

Recent news on the possibility of TVXQ‘s reunion is sending shockwaves throughout the industry.

On January 22nd, a Japanese article titled, “Will Avex act as the savior? TVXQ’s reunion project” surfaced. It reported of rumors of a reunion concert at Tokyo Dome orchestrated by Avex, who was previously accused of hindering JYJ‘s Japanese activities. In light of Avex’s recent under-performing releases, it is said that they are willing to go head with this project and stop hindering JYJ’s Japanese activities. Japanese superstar Ayumi Hamasaki is rumored to be negotiating on behalf of both sides.

While the news of a possible reunion is being met with enthusiasm by fans all over the world, many are skeptical of the chances of such a reunion actually occurring. The fact that this reunion is being orchestrated by Avex instead of SM Entertainment is also a cause of skepticism.

The article goes on to state, “While the reunion of TVXQ is something that many fans are waiting, the small possibility of this actually happening is an indicator of Avex’s desperation,” hinting that Avex’s recent lack of success may be reason for pursuing such an unlikely project.

TVXQ fans responded to the news with, “While it would be great if reunion happens, it seems unlikely“, “They say Avex will lead the project but I can’t trust them“, and “I hope they stop writing these pointless reunion articles“.

As no official statements have been released from any parties, it’s important to wait for these rumors and speculations to be confirmed. Stay tuned to allkpop as we await developments on this matter.

SHINee's Taemin is on Koala Kid with SNSD's Sunny.

Taemin's speeches during the greeting ceremonies of Koala Kid were translated.

Read the translations below.

Hello, I’m at Koala…Koala Kid

(fans: haha)

Taemin in the role of Johnny

I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the movie

And please spread it not just to two people, but to five people

You must tell five people the movie was good even if you think it was not

(fans: it was good~)

It is! So you must tell five people, thank you.

At Kundae:

Yeh (kk, the line is…) Yeh

As all before me said, and I think it’s more appropriate to tell five or six people rather than two

Did you enjoy the movie?

(fans: Yes! No! *it was before the movie started)

Why did you lie?

Hope you enjoy the movie and make it go viral

At Youngdeungpo:

Hello, I’m Taemin in the role of Johnny at Koala Kid

Yeoreoboon, enjoy the movie and spread it ‘jjoakjjoak’

(fans: Yes!)

Thank you

At Shilim:

Hello, I’m Taemin in the role of Johnny at Koala Kid

We worked hard for the movie, for dubbing

The movie is fun, so I hope you like it

Hope you come back with five or six people you know and enjoy the movie

Thank you

At Myeongdong:

Hello, I’m Taemin in the role of Johnny at Koala Kid

Everyone, thanks for your hard work (*Taemin sees the same fans have toured the cinemas with him)

(fans: hahaha)

You know what I’m going to say, don’t you?

You MUST tell five people!

(fans: something different~)

No I can’t because I’m an expensive guy

Thank you (fans: No way~)

(*The director tells Taemin to do the movie headline)

Uh hum (clearing his voice) I’ll do it hiding

“A true hero never gives up!”

Sons of the Sun - Key's Diary, Part 2

Key's Diary (Part 2) from Sons of the Sun has been translated.

Read the translations below.

Picasso, Dali, and Miro. By hearing those names, the things people ought to know about them were that they and those artists were born in Barcelona, did their routine activities in Barcelona, spent most of their life in Barcelona. Another common thing is that both of the artists who were living in early 20^th century and the recent artists group is that they both are people who are holding an innovative & uniquely pretty style.

If you try to wander, Barcelona seems to be a very good city for artists. Mild climate and atmosphere of freedom, until cheap price from Europe. The whole Barcelona is the place where we can find the trace of artists’s brushes for this city. Gaudi’s structure, which has something picturesque rolling among the buildings, still becomes a place where people are living.

Even today, streetlights, which have been made by young men for years ago, still shines the city. Though it wasn't a piece of art by artists that have passed away, an art soul that’s alive everyday is the thing that makes it becomes a nice city.

Will graffiti that also covers the whole city become like that someday? On the other hand, it’s a pity that famous graffiti art like London’s Bansky isn’t there.

For them, they have their common point, which is parents’s influence.

Picasso’s dad was an art teacher, when Picasso was 13 years old, he saw his son’s painting and felt that the confidence of his painting skill already exceeded, he then stopped painting. Since then, his dad sent Picasso to Barcelona, which is far from his hometown, Andalusia, southern part of Spain.

Another thing, Miro, who was born in Barcelona had a dad who’s a manufacturer of Jewelry and clock, he also had a grandfather who was a furniture dealer, this explained that his dexterity and his distinctive idea didn’t get the influence from Miro’s dad & grandfather.

The last one, Dali who was born in southern area of Cataluna’s small village Figueres, had a dad who had a profound knowledge about art, so he learnt art very often since young, and started painting since he was ten.

Although I wondered how thankful those artists who were well known by just recognizing their names in modern art felt for their parents, I always feel thankful for my parents who raised me up until making me become who I am right now. It’s because of my parents; I've been able to experience a lot of things since young.

I can’t remember if I had ever been staying still at home on weekends when I was young. Sometimes that was annoying enough for our family to leave for traveling anywhere every weekend. To the mountain & beach, town & village, hot weather & cold weather places, rainy & snowy places, and sunny places.

I always thought of different things when I saw different world.

I always remembered the childhood time when I was having an English conversation class.

A lot of friends gathered to study together, but it still took about an hour for me to get to the class, yet fortunately, that class could still be continued. I wholly didn't feel annoyed with that, thanks to my mom who brought me over.

I said that I ought to be annoyed. Come to think of it, I've seen variety of worlds since young, but I’m not sure how much they affect me right now, and it seems that I also can’t figure out how much they will affect the more grown-up me in the future.

It’s also not about how well-off my family’s wealth is, but

Thank you so much for my mom who has given different kinds of experiences to me!

And, another shocking truth is, my grandmother gave a private English lesson for my mom when she was young.

Hahaha, my grandmother was such a modern woman! As expected, blood is thicker than water.
