What do Ke$ha and Girls' Generation have in common?

If SNSD's new song, "Run Devil Run" sounds vaguely familiar to some of you, there is a good reason why.

Just minutes after SNSD's latest song, "Run Devil Run" has been released, the public has pointed out the song is exactly the same as the song by American chart-topper, Ke$ha

Before you jump on the "omg they plagiarized" boat, SM Entertainment has the legal rights to the song.

The song was composed internationally by Busbee of USA, Alex James of UK, and Kalle Engstrom of Sweden. Ke$ha has recorded a guide version before her debut because of her close relationship with one of the composers. Guided versions are recorded songs (usually by a different artist or non-artist) to help in sound recording, with usually no intentions of official releases by the recorder. Ke$ha's guided version was leaked onto Youtube and action was taken to delete them, but some still remain. SNSD is considered the official artist of the song, "Run Devil Run".

Girl's Generation "Run Devil Run" MV

Girls' Generation's "Run Devil Run" track released!

SNSD’s been teasing us since January with their “Black Soshi” concept, and the official track has been released – it’s officially called Run Devil Run, and we already know it’s got hit single status!

With tracks like T-ara’s I Go Crazy Because of You and Kara’s Lupin, the femme fatale concept is definitely taking over kpop, but with its infectious chorus and SNSD’s especially dramatic image change, Run Devil Run will undoubtedly S♥NE’s off their feet and probably lure in some new fans in process.

So the music video won’t be out for a bit of time, but I’m sure this will more than satiate y’all for now; feast your ears on Run Devil Run…

Official Black Soshi group photo unveiled!

After watching the teaser of SNSD's Black Soshi,here is another official photo of the new concept.

It gives me a very different feeling when all the Black Soshis are posing together.The combined hotness is simply irresistable.

Which black soshi is your favourite now??

But scratch that. Good news, Super Junior's dancing machine almost recovered and will start to continue all his activities including Dj-ing in Sukira. He will be also present in Super Show Shanghai.

After communication with sister site WannaBe, we were informed that Eunhyuk has almost recovered and will return to Kiss The Radio this coming Thursday, continuing all activities. He will also be able to participate in Shanghai's Super Show II.

Super Junior's Choi Siwon is 35 years old mentally

Chae Rim revealed "The precocious one, Choi Siwon, which psychological age is 35 years old, when he's only 25"

The actress, Chae Rim, has talked about the psychological age of a Super Junior member, Choi Siwon.

The photoshoot for the poster of the new drama "Oh~My Lady" starring Chae Rim and Choi Siwon, was broadcasted on March 2nd on the show "Good Morning" of the channel SBS.

"Oh My Lady" is basically a romantic comedy about an ordinary aunt who became the manager of a top star, where Siwon's casted as the top star, Sung Min Woo, and Chae Rim is casted as the musical production manager, Yoon Gae Hwa. Both, in the drama, will develop this "big sister and little brother" relationship.

Facing the fact that Choi Siwon is actually younger than her by 8 years, Chae Rim said: "I don't really know if the difference of age is regarded relatively large here, but Choi Siwon is really precocious".

She also made the surprising statement that beside the fact that Siwon is 25 years old, his psychological age, however, is one of a 35 year old person, which was followed by a sea of laughter on the site of the photoshoot. During the photography session, our two main leads were ear-whispering, talking about this and that. It seems that their relation is rather very good~

To conclude, the new korean drama "Oh~ My Lady" starring, Chae Rim and Choi Siwon, will be replacing the drama "Stars falling from the Sky" of the channel SBS broadcasted on Mondays and Tuesdays. Thus, the first episode will be aired on March 22nd.

Universal Records will release BoA's 7th J-Pop album "Identity"

It's confirmed! Universal Records will release BoA's 7th J-Pop album "Identity"! More details like exact release date, poster giveaway and prices coming soon!

The album includes her recent hits "Bump Bump!" with m-flo's Verbal, "Mamoritai-White Wishes" and "Possibility" duet with Miura Daichi. Perhaps the most outstanding part of this 13-track release however is that BoA makes her debut as a producer.

BoA is one of two artists in J-Pop history to top the Oricon Weekly Album Charts six consecutive times. The other artist with such an honor is Ayumi Hamasaki. This is an amazing feat, considering that BoA is not Japanese.
