The Meaning of JaeChunSu gesture at Lotte Ad
We found out the meaning of this gesture through Lotte Duty Free report from Song Seung Hoon’s filming of his Lotte ad where he was also ordered to have a pose of covering half of his eyes with one hand.
Then.. what does the gesture mean?
In Korean there’s a saying “don’t sell half your eye”. This means “don’t look at others” (believe in yourself).

Inquirer | Aquino inaugural song written in one day
By Pocholo Concepcion
President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino’s inaugural tomorrow at the Quirino Grandstand will not only feature international pop star Charice Pempengco singing the National Anthem, but also present “Bagong Pilipinas,” a song specially written for the ceremony by Ogie Alcasid and Noel Cabangon.
“Bagong Pilipinas” is a collaborative work—likewise for the first time—between the two singer-songwriters, who had actively campaigned for Aquino.
Alcasid had earlier written another song, “Hindi Ka Nag-iisa,” which became the theme music in a video featuring dozens of celebrities who donated their time and presence to endorse Aquino.
All-star cast
Cabangon had also offered to perform, for free, one of his own compositions, “Ako ay Isang Mabuting Pilipino,” at Aquino’s campaign sorties.
At the Quirino Grandstand, Alcasid and Cabangon will perform “Bagong Pilipinas” with an all-star cast of fellow artists, which include Gary Valenciano, Regine Velasquez, Jed Madela, Christian Bautista, Nina, Jim Paredes, Mae Paner (a.k.a. Juana Change), the UP Madrigal Singers and La Salle Green Hills’ Kundirana.
Cabangon told the Inquirer via e-mail that it was Alcasid who broached the idea to work together on the song.
“A few days after the May 10 elections, I texted Ogie a congratulatory message because our presidential bet was on his way to victory,” Cabangon recalled. “Ogie replied, and then asked if I could help him write a song to celebrate Noy’s victory.”
Cabangon recounted that he said yes right away; he and Alcasid also agreed that the song should be a call for unity among Filipinos.
At 6 p.m. on the same day they talked, the songwriters met in Alcasid’s house and went to work.
“Ogie already had a melody and lyrics for the first stanza. Then we tossed around some ideas for the second stanza. Ogie had also written the chorus part but we needed more lines and an additional melody. A couple of hours later, we finished the song and recorded the demo.”
Ryan Cayabyab came in to help in the arrangement.
It was only then that Alcasid reportedly said he would talk to Aquino if they could perform the song at the latter’s inaugural.
What was it like collaborating with a pop artist like Alcasid?
“We have different styles on how we write, like in the use of language,” said Cabangon. “But I had a good experience.”
Cabangon believes they have a good song in their hands, even if they had considered going over it again for possible revisions and polishing. “But that was it,” he said. “I was in Geneva when Ogie broke the news to the media that we are performing the song at the inaugural.”

allkpop | Girls' Generation wins Music Bank mid-year K-Chart for 2010
As we come up to the end of June, it was time for KBS to roll out their mid-year special on June 25th and crown their ultimate K-Chart winner for the first half of 2010.
And after a tabulation of scores, it was down to 2AM’s Won’t Let You Go Even If I Die taking on SNSD’s Oh! as they both racked up the highest scores in the first half of 2010. But there can only be one winner and it was SNSD whose five K-Chart wins and 8,796 points were enough against 5,394 for 2AM.
Congratulations to the girls! There was a slight discontent at the end though when Taeyeon said, “…I hope Music Bank can provide a good environment for artists…”
This stemmed from an earlier incident in the day while pre-recording the Music Bank special stage. Her ear piece did not work properly then and the PDs refused to let her re-do the stage, causing her to be unhappy during the Oh! performance.
Many thanks to Wahwah for the last bit.

Gary Valenciano and Martin Nievera host their very first game show ‘Twist and Shout’
Music industry pillars and long-time friends Gary Valenciano and Martin Nievera will again join forces, this time around on TV, as they host the new game show Twist and Shout. During their contract signing for the said program, Gary and Martin described the concept of Twist and Shout. Martin said, “Twist and Shout is a not-so stressful singing contest. It’s unique, different. Importante pa rin na nasa tono ka but there are other elements that will making singing very hard. Singing while in a pool of ice, or singing while being attacked by dogs. You have to sing two minutes straight na hindi nadi-distract. The contestants can win up to two million I think. ‘Yung audience may prize rin sila.”
Since this is the first time for Gary and Martin to host a game show, they admitted that they don’t know what to expect from Twist and Shout, but the two concert icons are pleased that the show will still be about singing. Gary shared that although the game show field is alien to him, he is looking forward to doing the program with his good friend. “I’ve never been a game show host. This is my first time, but I have Martin. I know we’re both going to learn from each other, we’re ready for the challenges. Every episode iba iba ang mga contestants, so magiiba rin ang dating namin ni Martin sa camera.”
Gary and Martin are both established names in the music industry, and in their debut as game show hosts, they said that they will not try to copy the other successful hosts and shows that have come before them. “Marami nang game shows na ginawa ang ABS-CBN. But the core element in Twist and Shout is not to try to be a game show and us hosts not to be like Edu Manzano, Cesar Montano, or Kris Aquino who’s already the Queen of Game Shows. We will just be Martin and Gary. Ang alam ng mga tao sa amin is ako ang maloko si Gary ang seryoso. Parang aabangan ng mga tao kung ano ang sasabihin ni Martin na hindi magugustuhan ni Gary. Sana ma-project sa TV ‘yung masayang tandem namin ni Gary when we do ASAP or concerts,” said Martin.
People may know Martin as the talkative one while Gary as the more reserved of the two. Gary believes that difference in their personalities will still fit in the show. “Martin may be very talkative but he’s very sharp. Alam niya kung kailan dapat mag-adlib, kung cut na, kung may nakalimutan pa kaming sabihin. Kapag ganun probably siya ang sasalo nun. Sa concert naming As One ginawa niya ‘yun.” However for Martin, the rules of game show may limit him a bit. “Sa game shows madaming rules. ‘Tama na, stop, ‘wag ka mag adlib!’ Perfect si Gary dito, ha ha ha! It’s me who must learn the rules. Pero kung may mangyari dun ako pwede mag-stretch.”
Watch out for Gary and Martin on Twist and Shout, weekend nights starting July 3. They will also have a repeat of their As One concert this July 16 at the Araneta Coliseum.

The AS 1 franchise also dominated the recording scene with the release of the commemorative AS 1 CD which immediately claimed the number one spot in the retailers’ album sales charts and after five months continues to be on the Top 10 of the charts. The AS 1 CD is released by Universal Records in cooperation with Polyeast Records and it features Martin and Gary doing renditions of each other’s hit songs as well as several duets such as its title song As One, a song composed by Gina Tabuena-Godinez and Albert Chang, beautifully arranged by Gary himself. Today, this collector’s item CD is currently enjoying a Platinum Record sales status and is continually doing very well in the market.

Yahoo news | 'Bagong Pilipinas' is Aquino inaugural song
ABS-CBN - Saturday, June 26
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED/CORRECTED) – Jed Madela is one of the 10 singers chosen to sing “Bagong Pilipinas” (New Philippines) on June 30 when President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is sworn in as the country’s 15 president.
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED/CORRECTED) – Jed Madela is one of the 10 singers chosen to sing “Bagong Pilipinas” (New Philippines) on June 30 when President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is sworn in as the country’s 15 president.
Ogie Alcasid and Noel Cabangon were commissioned by the inaugural committee to compose the song for Aquino’s inauguration in Manila.
Madela said he was so moved by the song that he still got goosebumps even after recording the music.
“Ganda, sobrang ganda. Actually, hanggang ngayon, nag-goosebumps pa din ako, listening to all singers singing as one,” Madela said.
Aside from Madela, some of the artists who will perform the song are Alcasid, Jim Paredes, Mae Paner (popularly known as Juana Change), Nina, Christian Bautista, Cabangon, Gary Valenciano and Regine Velasquez.
“For the first time, the song will be sang by all singers. And then we’re going to be backed up by the Symphony Orchestra, 70s Band, the Madrigal Singers...and Kunderana will be there,” Alcasid said.
He added: “Lahat nga kami iba’t iba ang channel, ng network. In fact, Gary openly was supporting another president, but he came here. It’s not about that anymore. It’s about coming together and working as one.”
Valenciano, for his part, said it is only fitting that the song will be heard for the first time during Aquino’s inauguration.
‘’Yong timing ng kanta, eksakto sa historical event, for inauguration. For example, kunwari, may isang awitin na I love you. Kapag narinig natin sa radyo, okay lang. Pero pag nandiyan ka na sa sitwasyon na ‘yon, ‘yong salitang I love you, iba na ang dating,” Valenciano said.
“Bagong Pilipinas” will be included in a special music album that will be produced by Kris Aquino, the president-elect's youngest sister. -Report from Marie Lozano, ABS-CBN News

Tweeters from the Philippines were surprised when they saw Christian Bautista trending on Twitter instead of the ongoing Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash Big Night.
Per earlier reports, Christian Bautista guests on Indonesia’s Got Talent, or locally known as Indonesia Mencari Bakat, tonight.
A quick run through of the tweets mentioning Christian Bautista would show that the tweeters tweeting for the Asian Balladeer are from Indonesia.
As of this writing, Christian Bautista is number one on the Trending Topics list while the much hyped Pinoy Big Brother Big Night is nowhere on the list. Christian even beat World Cup on the trending list.

dkpopnews | Super Junior's Repackaged Album songs composed by members
In this repackaged album, in addition to the 11 songs from the original 4th album, 4 additional songs will be featured including the follow up single "No Other" which will be first revealed today (25th) through various music sites, "Shake it up" remix version which became more powerful and 2 songs by the members titled "Sincerity" and "Travel."
A ballad "Sincerty" which was composed by the leader Leeteuk and Super Junior-M's member Henry expresses the feeling of a pop song with the use of acoustic guitar. "Travel" which was composed by Donghae and the lyrics written by Eunhyuk is simple yet has repeating melody and various scales expressed in the song makes it fresh. Also, Kangin who is waiting to enter the army participated in the song "Travel."
Since "Travel" is the last song Kangin will participate in before he goes off to the army, all the money earned from digital music sales will be contributed to helping the needy.
Meanwhile, Super Junior will show the goodbye performance of their 4th album title song, "Bonamana" on the first half closing special of KBS "Music Bank" which will be aired on the 25th.

Super Junior's Choi Si-won says "never dreamed of being a singer or actor"
Super Junior member Choi Si-won who recently starred in TV series "Oh! My Lady," has confessed that he had never dreamed of becoming a singer or an actor.
"It was not my dream to be a singer," the singer said during an appearance on KBS2 TV's celebrity talk show "Win Win," which aired Tuesday evening. "I just had the dream that I wanted to make my name known quickly and becoming a celebrity was the fastest way to do that, so I went to an entertainment agency."
When asked by host Kim Seung-woo if he had any fears about becoming an actor without any preparation, Choi answered, "It is very scary but if you don't take on a challenge because you are scared, what can you achieve in life?"
Choi, 23, debuted in December 2005 as one of the 13 members of idol group Super Junior, which quickly became one of the most successful K-pop acts throughout Asia. He is also a member of sub-group Super Junior-M, which focuses its activities in the Chinese market.
He has also crossed over to acting, appearing in dramas "Eighteen, Twenty-Nine" (KBS2, 2005) and "Spring Waltz" (KBS2, 2006). He also had a supporting role in war epic "A Battle of Wits" (2006) alongside top Hong Kong star Andy Lau.
The pop idol recently won favorable reviews for his portrayal of fictional superstar Sung Min-woo in the SBS TV series "Oh! My Lady," which co-starred Hallyu star Chae-lim.

Super Junior's Kyuhyun will come back on stage for last performance of Bonamana
Kyuhyun of Super Junior will come back on stage for the group’s last performance of “Bonamana” on KBS Music Bank, which will air on June 25, 2010.
Kyuhyun recently had surgery for tympanitis in the beginning of June and has been recovering. With Kyuhyun out recovering, Super Junior has been performing as a 9 member group. But everytime they won 1st place on a music program, the members all gave a shout out to Kyuhyun, expressing their love and support for him.
Maybe it is due to their love and support that Kyuhyun was able to have a pretty speedy recovery.
Super Junior will end their promotions for “Bonamana” with this week’s episode of Music Bank, but will come back again with a following single titled “No Other” from the upcoming repackaged album set to be released on June 28, 2010.
“No Other” has been leaked by some online, but true fans should wait to the song after its official release. Right?

allkpop | Super Junior’s Eunhyuk is Rice?
Eunhyuk stated, “Hello, I am world star Rice. As I grow, I bow my head. I will always remain humble.” This direct translation may confuse some people but if you look into it closely, it makes more sense. So here is a mini Korean lesson: The word rice in Korean is “byu”, which Eunhyuk used to replace Rain, “Bi”, in his introduction. Also, the proceeding sentence is a Korean idiom for “The more noble the more humble” or “The boughs that bear most hang lowest”.
Anyways, this picture hints that Eunhyuk will be doing a Rain parody. It has been released on the KBS Music Bank website that the members of Super Junior, 2AM, and 2PM will be performing Rain’s Love Song today’s episode of Music Bank! We have seen many parodies before but imagining members of Super Junior, 2AM, AND 2PM all performing Love Song on one stage… I’m sure this parody will top all those from the past and forever be unmatched!
