Kim Hyun Joong drama continues...
SomehowKim Hyun Joongand his exMs. Choihave sneaked their way back into our lives, providing us with some much needed drama. Earlier this week, it was reported that Ms. Choi's delivery date would bethis coming September 12. However, those reports turned out to be false, asMs. Choi already gave birthearlier this month. News of her birth were downplayed to protect the mother and her newborn from excessive public interest. Kim Hyun Joong's side apparently knew nothing of Choi's baby, and news of her delivery was likely met with immense shock. What theactor's father said in an interviewproved as much, as he bemoaned the unfairness of the whole situation and asserted that Ms. Choi should have contacted them about the birth.
Seung Ho is assaulted
MBLAQ'sSeung Horeportedlysuffered a head injuryfrom getting into an altercation with a formerJ.Tune Campemployee. The whole situation arose from a misunderstanding, which turned violent, with the former employee, 'A,' hitting Seung Ho over the head with a glass bottle. The singer reported this misdemeanor to the authorities but didn't end up pressing charges. In fact, he later altered his story, stating that he was slapped, not attacked with a glass bottle. To mitigate the worry of fans, boththe labelandSeung Ho released official statements, assuring everyone that the altercation has been resolved and that everything is alright. Thank goodness!
HyunA too sexy for a shirt
HyunA, the queen of sexy, is in the limelight for herflagrantly revealing album jacket photos. Well...flagrant for Korean standards. The singer is clad in nothing but her underwear for most of the photos, a timid hand covering the most private parts of her body and hiding not much else.
