G-Dragon Reveals His Ideal Girl Type... 'Sensible Girl'

Group Big Bang's member G-Dragon chose 'sensible girl' as his ideal girl type.

G-Dragon recently held a photo shoot with the fashion magazine Cosmopolitan.

During the interview after the photo shoot, G-Dragon said, "I like sesible women. A girl who can just say one thing or wear one piece of clothing and be sensible that way. If she's pretty on top of that, that would be really good."

When he was asked how he relieves stress, he said, "I meet friends and talk or have a drink with them."

He continued, "Usually when I have break time or when I rest, I sit in the office and a few guys and I talk. If we have similar tastes, then we can talk about anything from girls to music, life, and even dramas that we watch all in one sitting."

Three K-Pop Idols Who Almost Didn't Make It

There are a few idols in K-pop that almost didn't make the cut. Whether it was their looks, their talent, their timing, etc., etc., some of our most favorite idol stars almost didn't make it to the big leagues. Let's take a look at three artists who almost lost their chances at stardom.

Before Jang Hyun Seung hit it big with BEAST, he was the 6th member of Big Bang. Before being a part of Cube Entertainment, Hyun Seung trained under YG Entertainment for a year and four months and used the stage name So-1. He appeared in Big Bang Documentary before the group's debut along with the rest of the gang but ended up being cut in the final elimination round against Seungri. Yang Hyun Suk felt as if Hyun Seung wasn't ready for the big times and eventually let him off on his merry way to no man's land. The singer has since moved onto be a part of one of the biggest groups in recent years, Beast.

Before Yoon Doo Joon became the leader of BEAST, he was almost going to be a member of either 2PM or 2AM. Yoon was a trainee of JYP Entertainment and participated in the Mnet documentary, Hot Blooded Men, a reality show where a truckload of Korean boys competed to become a part of 2PM and 2AM. He was eliminated from the show and eventually joined Beast where he's found a massive amount of success. In addition to his blooming singing career, Yoon's personality, charm, and humor has landed him a role in Sunday Sunday Night and a stint on Chin Chin Radio. Aside from the smaller gigs, he was also a model for premium jeans brand Buckaroo with actress Shin Sekyung and launched his acting career in MBC's More Charming By The Day and All My Love. His most recent acting gig was in Iris 2. Maybe JY Park should have kept him around.

Sandara Park was a star in the Philippines before making her way over to Korea. Since the beginning of her life, Dara had her eye on one goal and that was to be a singer/performer. Yang Hyun Suk was hesitant to train Dara as a singer and instead pushed her to become an actor, but miss 2NE1 cutie pie wasn't having any of that! She opened up on a variety show that she pulled it together and put on one last performance for papa YG to see that she indeed had the nuts and bolts to become a singer. Her hard work paid off at the end and Yang Hyun Suk placed her as the fourth member of 2NE1.

Henry impresses with his skills on the piano through piano version of "Trap" + Chopin's "Waltz No.7"

Henry is no stranger to leaving fans in awe with his musical talents, and he's done it again as he shows off his skills on the piano.

We got to hear a bit of the piano melody in the intro that Henry plays through his performances of "Trap", but this time, he takes out the vocals and choreography, presenting us with the piano version of the song.

He doesn't stop there though as he launches right into Chopin's "Waltz No.7", further leaving fans gaping as his fingers glide masterfully over the keys.

Comedian Lim Joon Hyuk criticizes MBLAQ for their lack of cooperation and 'superstar' attitude + J.Tune Camp responds

Some controversy has sparked as the words of comedian Lim Joon Hyuktargeted at MBLAQ have come into light. 

The SNS post made by the comedian has become a hot topic of discussion as it belatedly started to spread, picking up momentum today.

Lim Joon Hyuk, part of the comedian team of 'People Seeking Laughs - Rising Star' wrote, 

Today's recording was the most difficult since the start of 'Rising Star'.

I realize now that 2PM had come after preparing really hard--

We won't do this, no we can't do that - [MBLAQ] was saying that even up until filming began, and I don't know if they didn't hear about us wanting to do a test run before the filming or if they heard it but just forgot about it.

It's just very like

superstars have made their entrance...

G.O, however, worked really hard.

This is just my own personal thoughts so if anyone happens to see this, aim your diss towards only me.

The post has since been deleted, but with captures becoming widespread,J.Tune Camp has stepped up to suggest that perhaps there was a misunderstanding.

One rep from the agency commented, "They worked hard as they would on music programs. I think there must have been some misunderstanding...There was no specific problem during the recording and the recording went well.. We are just regretful that something like this has been brought up." 

Another rep added, "There was no situation like the one described... The rehearsal was supposed to take place in the waiting room. The members went down to 1st floor where the comedians' waiting room was located asking to do a test run, but the comedians said that it's more convenient for them to go up, so rehearsal was held in MBLAQ's waiting room... We were doing our best to take their wishes into consideration and we just did what the comedians said to do so there was no problem at all. That's why we're quite shocked that such words have come up... We wouldn't have anything to say if we did do something wrong and we were being lazy, but as a rep who was actually at the scene, I'm very shocked. It was really not like that in reality."

Review: ‘I Wanna Dance’ By Super Junior’s Donghae and Eunhyuk Is Highly Danceable Quincy Jones-Infused Funk [VIDEO]

I Wanna Dance, Super Junior

"I Wanna Dance," the new Japanese single from Donghae and Eunhyuk from the K-pop boy band Super Junior is an homage to the most successful producer of all-time

At this point Quincy Jones has got to know the depth of his international influence, but he would still probably be touched to hear how deeply a South Korean act in 2013 is channeling his iconic sound.

“I Wanna Dance,” the new Japanese single from Donghae and Eunhyuk from the K-pop boy band Super Junior is an homage to the most successful producer of all-time, and a highly danceable one at that.

The trademark Quincy circular African grooves, the propulsive synth bass, the sharp horn blasts are all here.

Even Jones’s involvement with the first wave of hip hop artists like Ice-T and Big Daddy Kane is represented in the production on I Wanna Dance,” particularly in the vintage 1980s drum machine sound achieved on the track.

And like any good Quincy Jones dance track, “I Wanna Dance” is a whole bunch of fun to listen to.

In this modern day era of digital pop, many laptop dance music producers haven’t just forgotten the groove (a common 1990s criticism of techno) they’ve forgotten how to have fun.

“I Wanna Dance” delivers on both counts, driving listeners onto the dance floor with hooky vocals and high-octane rapping.

Like Quincy Jones’s classic work with Michael Jackson, “I Wanna Dance” also blends live instruments, including an in-the-pocket Nile Rodgers-influenced guitar part, with computerized sounds like synthesizers and drum loops.

The resulting track is difficult to resist; when Donghae and Eunhyuk say they want to dance, it’s difficult to disagree.

The video for “I Wanna Dance” is pitch perfect.

Alternating between dance sequences that appear to be influenced by the confrontational choreography of MJ’s “Bad” music video and retro scenes of Donghae and Eunhyuk in a 1980s-style retro apartment, complete with rotary phones, the director dials in the era with precision.

Even the giant piano patterns in the backdrops in the video were a ubiquitous part of 1980s American pop culture that anyone who lived through the era will recall. Remember the piano key necktie?

It’s exciting to see a retro homage done so well.

And although “I Wanna Dance” is currently slated for release in Japan, Donghae and Eunhyuk would be wise to put the single out worldwide.

As George Clinton once sang, “one nation under a groove.”

Check out the music video for the new single “I Wanna Dance” by Donghae and Eunhyuk of Super Junior RIGHT HERE
