A-JAX “Back Down” Dance Move, Too Dangerous?

Posted: 04 Jun 2012 12:23 AM PDT

Currently A-JAX has created controversy because of the "Back Down" dance move they do while performing "One 4 U." (The "Back Down" dance move is when, you put your hand behind your head and fall backwards on to the floor, without any other safety measures. In the 90s, DSP Media's first boy idol group Sechskies member Kim Jae Duk did the move.)

Through last weekend's performances of "One 4 U" on MBC "Show Music Core," and SBS "Inkigayo" the new boy group finally debuted. However, during their performance, 6 members do the "Back Down."

Netziens gave opinions on the performance such as, "I am worried because the dance move is so dangerous" and "The dance move gives a very big impact." Currently, DSP Media is determining whether A-JAX will continue to do the "Back Down" dance move for their future performances.

What do you think, is the dance move too dangerous?

“Queen In Hyun’s Man” Unveils Two Romantic Kiss Scenes between Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo

Posted: 03 Jun 2012 10:54 PM PDT

Earlier today, "Queen In Hyun's Man" unveiled two upcoming kiss scenes between leads Yoo In Na and Ji Hyun Woo.  Already dubbed the spaghetti kiss and tie kiss, the upcoming episode promises to make viewers squeal in delight. Fans who've seen the preview commented, "They look like a real couple," "It's so romantic," "I don't want this drama to end," and more.

"Queen In Hyun's Man" marks Yoo In Na's first drama as the lead actress and is one of many time-traveling series. However, unlike other series, the hero time hops back and forth from Joseon to the present at will. Choi Hee Jin (Yoo In Na) is an actress who stars in the historical drama "New Jang Hee Bin" as Queen In Hyun, who is deposed by the scheming, ambitious Lady Jang, also known as Jang Hee Bin. Through coincidence, she runs into Kim Boong Do (Ji Hyun Woo), a Joseon era scholar who was in the midst of trying to restore the real Queen In Hyun to her position and power. The two fall in love that truly bends time and space with parties on both sides opposing their relationship.

Regarding the upcoming ending, director Kim Young Gyu stated, "We're preparing a variety of tools to create a truly memorable ending. You should look forward to something extraordinary, probably beyond anyone's imagination, in the finale episode."

Spin Magazine recently posted a list titled "The 21 Greatest K-Pop Songs of All Time" on their website www.spin.com. (Here is the link to the article itself)

H.O.T.'s "Candy" made #1 on the list. It was followed by HyunA's "Bubble Pop!" and 2NE1's "I Am the Best."

H.O.T.'s "Candy" was picked as number one because they were the group that "ushered in the 'idol' cult that's propelled Korean pop cultural product as far and wide as it's come in the past ten years."

Here were some of the comments about the list, "I'm sorry but this list is all missed up …nothing in the right order !!" "f(x) Nu ABO on the list? OMG…. There are more groups or singers should've been on the list" and "…o_O Hyuna beats SNSD and 2NE1? …..okaaaaay…."
