I hope to do my little bit to help.”

Raymond Lam’s Friends Warned Him About Mavis Pan’s Integrity

Since the exposure of bed photos with “Little Shu Qi” Mavis Pan Shuangshuang, Raymond Lam Fung admitted that the pair dated for several months. In a Commercial Radio interview, Raymond said he was uncertain in dealing with his emotions in light of the current situation. Although deeply hurt, he did not want to pursue the incident further. He will regard it as promotion for his new Mandarin album, The First Time "第一次".

Promoting his new Mandarin album in China earlier, Raymond fell ill and his voice was hoarse. He never thought that his past relationship with Mavis would be revealed in such a manner. “I will not take the initiative to discuss my relationship, but will not deny it if it were discovered. I do not know which emotions to use in addressing the situation. Mavis and I dated for several months. About one or two months ago, we broke up. We never discussed formally breaking up, but I think we both understood the feelings and the situation became clear slowly.”

Aside from falling in love with Mavis’ physical appearance, Raymond also liked the fact that she treated her friends very well. “However, we had some communication problems. A woman needs her boyfriend by her side. My work is very busy and stressful. I do not want dating to affect my work performance. I want to concentrate on work.”

In the past, Mavis was frequently afraid to take photos together with Raymond, since they might affect him. Referencing their dating photos together, Raymond explained, “Taking photos together was a normal activity for a dating couple. She was more afraid to take photos than I was. She thought too much about the issue. After we discussed the matter for sometime, she started taking photos. This was a normal thing, but I can not believe the situation turned out like this.” (Was Raymond aware that Mavis took bed photos too?) “I did not know that photos were taken in my sleep. After work, I was exhausted and fell asleep.”

Will Raymond pursue the exposure of the bed photos further [with Mavis]? “Since our break-up, we have not remained in contact. After the photos were revealed, I did not call her either. Although we had some arguments while dating, this is a matter between the two of us and [the bed photos] should not be revealed. I do not understand why she did that. We were dating after all. I still can not accept what happened.”

Raymond was deeply hurt by the bed photos scandal. At one time, he had intended to develop the relationship with Mavis seriously. However, his work schedule did not allow adequate time to maintain the relationship. “I thought about developing the relationship seriously, never thinking it would turn out like this!”

Raymond added, “TVB and Ms. Virginia Lok Yi Ling discussed the matter with me. While I was dating Mavis, my friends told me to pay more careful attention. At the time, I didn’t think there was a problem. However , who knew that something did happen for ‘The First Time?’ Raymond smiled wryly and said that the bed photos incident can be considered as promotion for his Mandarin album, The First Time.

Chilam Cheung goes on diet for concert, feels dizzy during rehearsal

Chilam Cheung will be holding his two show Hong Kong Coliseum concert this Saturday and Sunday. This will be his very first HK Coliseum concert since he entered the industry, and invited Grasshopper and Aaron Kwok as his guests.

It was said that he wanted to boost the anticipation for the concert, so he secretly invited his old partner Maple Hui as his special guest. Yesteday Chilam was rehearsing for the concert and when asked if he invited Maple? He kept his mouth zipped: "I invited guests that will surprise everyone, some I have collaborated before, and I will not reveal who yet. (Will your wife Anita Yuen go on stage to sing?) She will come support, but definitely will not sing because she doesn't know how to sing." He said he'll be dancing and singing with good friend Aaron Kwok, but he is currently not in HK so there is not much time for them to rehearse together. He will just have to practice himself.

To be in the best state for his concert, Chilam went on a diet for two months, which he frankly said he had not done before. While he was rehearsing, he felt that his body was too weak and felt dizzy. Is he prepared to show his muscles? He said: "My concert costumes is all designed by William Chang. Some do show muscles, and are quite sexy." He said his wife saw that his diet on losing weight is working, so she followed him too.

*Note: Chilam's album What Is Love released today (3/18)

Aimee Chan wants to nominate god-sister for Miss HK 2011

Yesterday the Miss Hong Kong 2011 Overseas Recruitment held its press conference. Producer Ho Siu Wai said that this year they will be selecting 12 to 15 candidates. Initially Kate Tsui was one of the ambassadors, but earlier she had a small accident at work and got minor injuries, therefore she was absent at the event. Fortunately after visiting the doctor, her injuries are nothing serious, and last night she continued working.

Aimee Chan expressed that she hopes to nominate her god-sister to participate in the competition: "My god-sister is current in the U.S working as a designer, she has grown to be very beautiful. Her mom, my aunt is also very supportive." Asked of her greatest gain after her participation in the pageant? She laughed: "I found an acting profession, something I really enjoy, just like finding a husband. If I didn't participate in the pageant and entered the industry, I would be sitting in an office now as a designer. Life would not be as colorful as now."

Toby Chan will soon be giving up her Miss Hong Kong status, asked if she'll stay in the entertainment circle and develop there? She said: "Never thought of this. When I first came in contact with this industry, I felt that it's very fresh, and now I'm already adapted to it. If there is an opportunity, I will put in the effort into it." She did not clearly state if she wanted to be an artist or not, but she really does like the taste of being a host. Asked if she will continue her contract with TVB? She said: "Of course TVB has to give me the opportunity in order for it to work, and to see if my performance is suitable."

Shirley Yeung a chilled feeling from Japan earthquake, want to be a filial girl

Last November, Shirley Yeung did a travel show Travelling With Koyo for TVB. She travelled to Miyagi located in northeastern Japan, Fukushima, Akita, Iwate, Aomori, Yamagata, Nigata and other cities. After several months, the northeastern part of Japan was tragically destroyed by a 9.0 large earthquake. Shirley feels frustrated: "At the time, we went for 3 weeks, the local scenery was beautiful, the locals there were very simple and honest. We went to the fish market, wine factory and toured other regions. The villagers were very friendly to foreign visitors, we all took many pictures to keep for memories. Now in a split second, the area gets attacked by a tsunami, watching the live broadcast on TV, seeing the people can't get away in time, my heart is cold, so terrifying."

Shirley felt mother nature is giving us a warming sign, calling us to strengthen environmental awareness: "This earthquake led to radiation problems that affected so many areas and though Hong Kong may not necessary have this problem, but we are living on the same planet, it's a deep feeling. I will pay more attention to the environment and treat my family well." Asked if she would consider getting married earlier? She did Tai Chi and said: "Nope, but I will cherish the people in my life."

Earlier Shirley encountered an accident in Macau, where she fell down the stairs. Her mother was the most worried, she said: "When I got back to Hong Kong, I told my mom first thing. The next day, she saw my injury and was very worried. Now my leg, waist, back and neck are still in so much pain. Perhaps I will need to take a break for some time."

Initially she was to go to Guangzhou to shoot another travel special, but now it's canceled. She sighed that it's a pity: "I've donw all the preparations before. To be able to eneter the world cultural heritage, it is well worth to see the natural scenery. This time I can't go, but I do plan to go one time on my own expense."

Eason Chan and Michelle Bai play a pair that are secretly married in new film Secretly Married Couple.

After asking her, he found out that Michelle was in fact a fan of Eason and excitedly said like a little fan: "I have always loved Eason's movies, listening to his music and hoped to work with him one day. When I was going to be playing his wife in this film, I was so happy I couldn't sleep. Just now I already tried my best to calm my emotions, but I naturally blushed and couldn't control it."

Kenneth Ma has confidence in villain roles, wants to disgust audience

First time playing a big villain, Kenneth Ma's performance in TVB series Grace Under Fire is fully experiencing the attention. His character changes from a simple guy who often gets bullied into someone who does things by evil means. Kenneth said the story is still in the early stages, audience will see his character change very soon. He is personally looking forward to see the whole process of his character changing from good to evil. He said: "At first, my character was being insulted, accused and bullied. Later he becomes determined to stand out and deceives Leung Ka Kei into being his wife. During the process of when he turns evil, there are a lot of violent scenes, some had too much blood. Those scenes are cut and cannot be broadcast."

Although in the series, Kenneth didn't have to actually perform real Kung Fu, but he had to play someone changing from good to evil. Grasping the deep feeling scenes is just as difficult. He laughed and said that it is only successful when people point at you and scolds you on the street. Asked if he already fell in love with being a villain? He said: "I like it, in the last few series I've been a good person. I have confidence on playing villains, I want to prove the audience that Kenneth Ma is not stupid."

Leung Ka Kei gets deceived by Kenneth in the series, he praised that his partner had an outstanding performance. He said: "Although we haven't collaborated before, her role goes through big changes. My character was always lying to her, it was only until the end when she found out. Although she doesn't have that much screen time, she is an important character."

Leung Ka Kei smiled and said that she had always wanted to work with Kenneth, so she is willing to get deceived by him, she said: "My role does have great ups and downs. I was fortunate to have Kenneth bring me into character." Asked if she fell for Kenneth in reality? She took Kenneth and JJ Jia's rumors out to joke with: "Just a little more! But I didn't buy one dessert soup to share with him. I don't match the social class!" Kenneth clarified that the rumors are not true.

As for if she would get too into character and can't pull out of it? She said: "I have been worried being too into character, so before I start working I would not let myself be happy, trying my best to talk to more people. When I start shooting, I already used up my power and hope to do the best."

In reality, have she met a person who deceived her love? She said: "Well no, actually my love life is very boring. Usually I stay at home and don't go out. The most I would do is go out with a few friends to a place with less people, perhaps I suffer from a crowd phobia." Kenneth frankly said that he keeps acting and reality separate, he said: "I would just like the character in the series, I won't get the artist and the character confused."

When speaking of many TVB FaDan and Siu Sang leaving the nest, Kenneth believes that it won't be a great affect on TV productions because artists who do not renew their contracts will change to a 'per series' contract. We will all still continue to shoot series.

[News] IU ''If my uncle fans saw my bare face, they wouldn't like me''

IU drew much attention for her humble attitude.

On the latest recording of the MBC FM4U ‘Dreaming of a Spring Radio’, IU was embarrassed by talks of IU Syndrome.

On this day, one listener called in, saying “I am a male student suffering from IU Syndrome. One of the symptoms is ‘deluding oneself that one might be the oppa that IU is looking for’” and asking uniquely(?) “Please tell me a method for disliking IU.” When the ‘Spring Radio’ trio of MCs said that they could sympathize with this IU Syndrome, IU looked embarrassed and let out a cute laugh.

To answer the fan’s request on “How to dislike IU”, IU responded by stating “You just need to see my bare face,” causing an explosion of laughter in the studio. IU further explained “My mom really hates it when I go on air with my bare face. I think I look OK but my mom insists that I never go on broadcasts with my bare face.” However, everyone disagreed and instead, crowned IU as the ‘Be-all-and-end-all of Flawless Celebrities’.

This episode will air on March 19th at 8PM.

[Interview] G.NA what shines more than her 'Mannequin Body'?

[Newsen Writing Reporter Go Kyungmin / Photo Reporter Lee Jaeha] 

This year is clearly the year of the female solo singers. IU, JOO, Navi, Beige, After School’s leader Kahi and even former BABY V.O.X main vocal Kan Miyeon released their own mini albums and pronounced themselves as solo singers. Despite the many female artists, G.NA shines with her visuals and musicality. 

G.NA recently released her title track for her new full-length album, Black & White.’ It has been receiving much love and heated up the Internet as it rose to number one on music charts. On the 17th, she won first place on Mnet’s ‘Mcountdown’ and displayed her potential as a female solo singer. She started her first nationwide fan signing on the 11th in Seoul Kangnam Central City, then Daejeon on the 12th, and Busan on the 13th. Even at her fan signings, her fans confirmed her hot popularity.

With the recent album promotions, G.NA’s amazing body caught many eyes. Before promoting her album, she lost 3.5kg and she lost a lot of body fat. She boasted a more firm and balanced body than the time she promoted ‘I’ll Back Off So You Can Live Better’ and ‘Supa Solo.’ 

G.NA said, “During my last promotions, I worked harder to hide myself because I didn’t want my body to be magnified. It felt overwhelming that all the eyes were turned on my body even before I was able to show off my musical side. However, my thoughts have changed. Saying I’m hiding it when it’s not even getting hidden haha. I’m thinking of everything in a positive way and to succeed at everything boldly.” 

Although her body is worth being jealous of, with her nine-part proportioned mannequin body, small face and D-cup chest size, G.NA found all this as a complex. 

“I am truly thankful that they gave me the nickname of mannequin body. That kind of compliment always makes me happy. However, it is better to say that I worked hard to get a body that fits that nickname rather than being born with it. My growing condition is only different because it was passed down from my family. My mother, younger sister and grandmother have similar body types. But my large chest causes a lot of frustrations for me.”

Like G.NA said, her amazing body came from her parents. G.NA’s mother, Yoon Taesun, used to be a national representative swimmer in Canada. G.NA’s mother is close to rocker Yoo Hyunsang’s wife, Choi Yoonhee, who is called Asia’s mermaid. They are so close that G.NA even calls Choi Yoonhee ‘auntie.’

Her father, Choi Sunsoo, came out of the Marines and was an active national representative taekwondo player. G.NA’s younger sister is currently an athlete in Canada and before G.NA debuted, G.NA played volleyball and did cheerleading. 

Unlike her athletic family, G.NA was closer to music and unknowingly dreamed of being a singer. Especially when her father passed away and her mother sent G.NA to live with her grandparents, she had no choice but to hide her dreams from her grandparents, who thought differently. 

But in 2005, she left for Korea without a plan as soon as she entered college. At the time, G.NA passed the ‘Battle Shinhwa’ auditions and found a chance. At the same time, 2PM’s Nichkhun and Park Jaebum were picked up by JYP. G.NA said, “The time we went to go see open auditions and received the same casting card. The time we arrived in Korea was similar as well. We were picked up by separate agencies at a similar time as well. When I think about this process, I think it was fate.” 

In 2007, G.NA prepared to debut via MTV’s ‘Diary of the Five Girls’ but the plan was dispersed and she returned to Canada with much heartache. The other members who originated in Five Girls, Yubin, UEE and Jeon Hyosung all debuted before her in separate groups. G.NA had watched their appearances from behind. But G.NA didn’t give up. 


(continued from Interview ①) 

To those who don’t give up, there are second chances. President of Cube Entertainment, Hong Seungsong, acknowledged G.NA’s potential and brought her to his company. Even after entering Cube, the chance to debut didn’t come easily. However, as she chased her dreams, many events happened that allowed her to grow more mature.

“When you think about it, there’s nothing that happens on the first try. Nothing comes easy. Things that come easy disappear easily too. One has to endure something not just once, but three, four times to think of it easily than hard. Even though my other friends debuted before me, I feel that I am an adult and that I grew a lot more than they did.”

G.NA caused much fist clenching, even as a child. She was born in Canada and spent her school days there as well. G.NA had always participated a lot in school events and was popular among her friends. She was a student that enjoyed taking the lead and was always bursting with energy.

However, she felt darkness, loneliness and alienation for the first time when she arrived in Korea. When G.NA looks back, she said that that was her life’s turning point. She became a more frustrated person as she thinks ‘Why can’t I do this quickly’ and that fact makes her more confident and proud. She became a singer that way and after she debuted, it was because she had no choice but to work hard.

Like other singers with nice visuals, G.NA did not receive attacks on her singing ability. Her debut had been late but in turn, it took her blood, sweat and tears to raise her singing ability. She practiced every song in her album so that when anybody asked her to sing, she would take the stage immediately. And by practicing so much, she showed off a strong confidence in her live stages.

She hid her dance skills for a while and instead, she showed off cute choreography that would make her unique charm more appealing. She had worried a lot about rejection because she had gained many female fans with her familiar, cold and chic image. If you see G.NA in her actuality, you will remember her as a much more bubbly, pleasant and friendly person.

G.NA’s goal was never being first place. “I hope that a lot of people will know a person named G.NA. I just want to make clear that my goal is not first place but rather, it is to allow my name to be known. I want to become a singer who knows her own color, like Yoon Mirae and pop singer Christina Aguilera. I want my name, G.NA, to have a brand name value. I want to make music that you can listen to without hesitation. I will work hard.”

G.NA’s passion shines brighter than G.NA’s beautiful body.

[NEWS/INTER] Ceci invites you to 4minute's comeback backstage party !

[11.03.18] Ceci invites you to 4minute's comeback backstage party !

4minute featured in the April issue of Ceci. The girls struck the pose for their "Last Minute at Backstage" photoshoot, talked about their achievements and hinted at their impending comeback in an interview.

- - - - - - -

The 5 girls who only care about music became a hot issue just 100 days after their debut, shining by themselves when on stage. 4minute's comeback backstage party. In their boudoir, we captured their fashion style.

Kim Hyunah
Hot Issue - Took Japan and Asia by storm
I'm honored that we received the 2010 Billboard Japan New Artist Award, that we ran an overseas tour and did much more. There have been a lot of times when I was touched by our foreign fans. When they see us coughing, they buy us medicine, they pay attention and give feedback to every of our appearances in concerts, they even learn the Korean lyrics and fanchants so they can sing along, which I find heartwarming. During my 3rd year in elementary school, as I was standing in front of a traffic light, I suddenly thought "I want to dance and sing"; I picked this path even though it never seemed it could give me a secure future. I think it's because I liked and was excited about what I was learning day by day that I was able to make it through the trainee days and enjoy that period. Even now, it's still the same. It's good and exciting to gain experience abroad and learn stuff. As for confidence, I think that, as you take your time and strive hard, it will come as big as your efforts.

Heo Gayoon
Diamond - A treasure I will never trade
If someone asks me "In your dorms, what is the treasure that you would never trade, even for a diamond?", I will answer without any hesitation "Take anything from me but the members". I'm curious as for how long we will have the chance to provide great performances, as for how far we will be able to go under the name of 4minute. I wish I already knew about it but I'm pretty sure we will go far as five members. You will be able to see how stronger 4minute has got in our full-length album scheduled to be released in the beginning of April. Not only the members, but the composers, the lyricists, the choreographers, the stylists and even the company's staff have been spending sleepless nights and struggling. Our style, our choreography, everything from us has got stronger.

Kwon Sohyun
For Muzik - The trainee days that made me doubt about my future
I dreamt about acting when I joined the idol group Orange while I was attending elementary school. At that time, the results we achieved weren't great and I once ditched my dreams of becoming a singer. However, I saw that a senior in my school made her debut and I felt an inferiority complex. I fully realized what I really wanted to do. When I joined 4minute's agency, CUBE Entertainment, I wasn't a trainee but in the "in preparations" lot. For 3 months, I had to go through tests : I had to keep improving if I didn't want to leave the company. Anyone gets nervous and anxious if they start to think about their uncertain future. Instead of a distant future, I focused on a closer one that was to become a trainee. Up until now, I'm used to concentrating on the time that's just ahead of me. It's more important to me to endure the present rather than worry about a future that is uncertain. I'm really satisfied with the present as I'm learning how to prevent myself from becoming lazy.

Jeon Jiyoon
Hot Issue - When we become the topic of discussions
When we try to capture the public's attention, we unintentionally become the object of gossips as well as the object of malicious comments. When it comes to malicious comments, I think that the members modestly accept the criticisms whatever they are then to desire to show a better image. There were also times that we were hurt despite our hardened hearts. In particular, we earned the hurtful nickname "deudminit" in reference to how some people think little of our music. Compared to other girl groups, we deliver boyish and powerful performances that don't necessarily abide by the general standards. I wish that people could apprehend our color through our passionate gestures and emphatic expressions that inflame the stage. Since our debut, our team slogan has been "Rather than the Best, the Only". In order to make 4minute's unique charms recognized, we want to perform a lot and bring the best of us. That's what all the members think. We have the mindset to think about the opportunity that's given to us, instead of caring about how big the stage is. This is with such attitude that we want to become a group that always impressively showcases extraordinary content such as songs, style, performances.

[NEWS] 110318 Solo comeback Park Jaebum "My heart is open wide for 2PM", Jay Park

Solo comeback Park Jaebum "My heart is open wide for 2PM"

QUOTE

"The first album after flying solo is highly anticipated."

Recently, in some studio in Kyungkido, Namyeongju, we met energetic Jaebum (24), who was once a part of 2PM. On the 13th to the 15th, in order to film the MVs for the songs 'Tonight' and 'Abandoned' for his new album to be released on April 25th, he stayed up many nights. However, he did not look tired and looked passionate instead. Especially on the 15th, when he had his strong crew with him at the MV filming site, Jaebum looked even more energetic. His best friend is the American dancer Andrew Baterina, who was responsible for the choreography this time. Andrew Baterina and the American b-boy crew were helpers who led him to success. As a professional dancer who participated in America's Best Dance Crew, his youtube videos have reached over 1 million hits.

Jaebum expressed while smiling, "Filled with emotions, I wrote the lyrics and composed the songs myself. The choreography was done in discussion with Baterina." Combining the beats with the emotional and graceful melody, 'Abandoned' will leave a deep impression that will become the hot topic among fans. Jaebum said, "Many people have related the titles of the songs to 2PM. But there is completely no relation. The song isn't pointing to friends but rather has the meaning of being rejected by a woman whom I loved."

About the 2PM members, Jaebum said this: "Last year I returned to Korea in June, finished the Asia FM tour and movie filming, etc, and was very busy, so I still have not been able to bump into them." "Recently, I saw the H.O.T. members gathered together for Lee Jaewon sunbaenim's return from the army. Although they separated due to difference in opinions, as time passed, they returned together harmoniously again, and it gave me a deep impression. I think 2PM and I should be like this. My heart is open wide to the members."

Jaebum also revealed an ambition for acting. Together with the recording of the album, he has also been filming a new movie named 'Mr. Children' (temporary name). He states, "Acting allows one to experience other kinds of lives; this was what attracted me the most. If I have a chance, I would challenge action or comedy-mixed films." Seeing the earthquake in Japan, Jaebum, who received a big shock, said, "In the past, I experienced many earthquakes in elementary school when I was in Seattle. If there's anything I can do, like donate, I would."

If the single man brings a girlfriend back home, this is relationship and love and not seedy. However to be humiliated like that, that is mean. It makes you think what is love, do you dare to love?”
