SM artist schedule leak may reveal SuJu, SNSD & CSJH comeback dates, debuts & more

According to what seems to be a leak of SM Entertainment’s artist schedule, the public has gotten a glimpse of what may be Super Junior, SNSD, TRAX, CSJH the Grace, and the mysterious M-1 andM-3’s upcoming promotional activities for the remainder of 2011.

Images have emerged on the internet capturing a draft schedule of SM Entertainment’s artist activities for the rest of the year. The screencaps originated from a KBS broadcast that happened to capture this private information on broadcast, leading attentive fans to freeze-frame the moment and examine the information themselves.

Other KBS screencaps have also been gaining attention. For example, one (which has been confirmed to be outdated) suggested that SNSD would have a sub-unit of some sort, with Yuri as a possible leader. It was unclear whether this is would be an actual debut or a stage performance. Furthermore, since the cap was outdated, there is a high likelihood that those plans have been changed, so this image has been given little weight.

This information must be taken with a grain of salt, as some of the details already have conflicts (ie. Super Junior has a packed schedule for August and September) or inaccuracies (M-3 and M-1 didn’t debut on the scheduled dates), leading to the possibility that this is an outdated schedule and SM staff have since changed the date of these plans. However, unless drastic changes have been made, many fans anticipate that this depicts the general direction that SME will be taking for the rest of 2011.

Again, as none of these rumors have been validated by SM Entertainment, fans should refrain from making any assumptions regarding this topic.

f(x)'s Sulli sheds tears on "Come To Play" Why?


SNSD, TVXQ, Super Junior and f(x) appeared on MBC’s ‘Come To Play’ special episode ‘We Came to Paris’ which will be aired on June 27th at 11.15pm KST

During the recording of the show recently, f(x)’s Sulli expressed her gratitude towards Taeyeon and Tiffany in a corner entitled ‘Can You Hear My Heart?’. In the past when Sulli was still a 4th year elementary school student, she stayed with Taeyeon and Tiffany in the same hostel and the two Soshi girls took care and watched over Sulli like their own younger sister.

Tiffany who was also present at the set said, “However, I felt sorry for not being able to take care of her more”. Upon hearing that, Sulli was moved to tears, showing the warm affection between a senior and her junior. On the other hand, TVXQ’s Max Changmin who debuted earlier than his juniors gave them useful advice as well as support.


Meanwhile, during the ‘SM Town X-File’ corner, Sooyoung said that there is a special secret directive within their company. Sooyoung, who is talented in impersonations among the girls was given that directive to prohibit her from doing impersonations.

Sooyoung said, “When I appear on variety shows, they would request me to do impersonations and if I don’t do it, the atmosphere will turn cold which is unbearable. So, I have no choice but to damage my own image”.

She added, “Our agency chairman said ‘So, what’s this voice impersonation that damages your posh image?’, particularly asking me to refrain me from doing the impersonations”.

MC Kim WonHee then requested a voice impersonation before bidding the girls farewell on the show. Upon WonHee’s request, Sooyoung apologized to the company’s chairman and showcased her talent, much to the amusement of everyone in the studio.

Jessica spotted in the Audience of 'Kiss & Cry'


SBS's "Kim Yuna's Kiss & Cry" was broadcast earlier today and many were surprised to see Girls' Generation's Jessica as part of the audience. Although she appeared for just 3 seconds, her familiar face and pigtails were more than easy to spot.

Here's the short clip:



Her appearance is most likely to support her sister f(x)'s Krystal who is a participant of the program. It's nice to see her taking time off from her busy schedules and just enjoying a show.

No problem for SNSD to survive on an unoccupied island


Among other stars, SNSD have the best survival rate if they were to be left on an unoccupied island.

On KBS 2TV ‘Entertainment Weekly’ aired on June 25th, a survey to find out stars who could survive on an unoccupied island was conducted.

From the result of the survey, SNSD were placed at no.1 and there was a valid reason for it. Since they received lots of love from the soldiers, the girls have the support of the soldiers at their disposal.

On the other hand, Lee SooGeun from KBS 2TV’s ‘Happy Sunday – 1 Night 2 Days’ took the no.2 spot. Lee SooGeun through his role in ’1 Night 2 Days’, gave a deep impression that he is someone who could thrive well in the wilderness.

Actor, Jung JaeYoung who starred in the movie ‘Castaway On The Moon’ (2009) came in 3rd. No HongChul came in 4th for his role in MBC’s ‘Infinity Challenge’ while Park YeJin who made an appearance on SBS ‘Family Outing’ came in 5th. Kim TaeWon and Yoo SeYoon were ranked 6th and 7th respectively.
