Block B to Star in Their Own Live Reality TV Show, “5 Minutes Before Chaos”

Posted: 28 Mar 2014 12:21 AM PDT

Male idol group Block B is taking a stab at 'idol taboos.'

On April 10, the group will appear in the first episode of their live reality TV show Mnet 3-Screen "Block B's 5 Minutes before Chaos," where they will be setting up hidden cameras, doing various missions, etc. With the pranks and missions, Block B will be boldly strolling into territory that idols usually want to avoid: confirming rumors about members with hidden cameras, putting the members dating skills to the test with blind dates, and more.

When the broadcast starts, Block B will watch their own their own antics on screen, and their reactions watching the pre-recorded missions and activities will be broadcast live online at the same time as the TV broadcast. Moreover, the show is a '3-screen' program, meaning viewers will be able to communicate with Block B during the broadcast through SNS on TV, PC, and mobile platforms.

Block B said, "We're hungry for reality TV, and we're determined to create a unique show. Please tune in!"

The production team added, "Because Block B is so unpredictable, we don't know what's going to happen during the live show. We want to show the 'real' Block B, so if you're a fan of the group, you won't want to miss this!"

"Block B's 5 Minutes before Chaos" will air on April 10 at 7:30PM (KST).

Infinite’s agency Woolim Entertainment expressed, “We will show different projects using the colors that fans have selected.” Furthermore, among the fans who had participated in the voting process, 100 lucky fans were chosen to receive a special gift.

With the gold version being officially out of print, the albums were a great present as they currently are being sold for high prices due to their rarity in the music market.

Currently, Infinite is preparing for their April comeback after wrapping up their world tour encore concert.

“Infinity Challenge” PD Kim Tae Ho Talks About the Future of the Show

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 10:56 PM PDT

MBC "Infinity Challenge" PD Kim Tae Ho made a reference to the show's ending at a special lecture at Kyeongin Women's University on March 26, titled "PD Kim Tae Ho, Changing the Existing Variety System."

According to participants who attended the lecture, PD Kim referred to "Infinity Challenge" ending its run, saying, "It'll be a good time for the show to bow out in its 10th year at next year's concert." He was referring to the show’s biennial “Infinity Challenge Music Festival.”

While PD Kim added that this was just the planning stage, the fact that this reference came from the lips of the show's director lent weight to his words.

However, MBC revealed on March 27 that there were no plans to take the show off air and that PD Kim’s words were his own individual thoughts on the matter. PD Kim clarified via MBC, “I did not directly refer to the ending of the show. In fact, I have already made special plans for next year’s 10th anniversary special. I was speaking for myself when I said those words because I’d like to a new challenge.”

"Infinity Challenge" started in 2005 and gained massive popularity. The show will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year in 2015.

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 08:39 PM PDT

Sonnet Son (Son Seung Yeon) released the music video for her latest single, “I’m Okay Now,” through 1theK‘s official YouTube channel.

Sonnet Son wowed audiences in Korea during her time on “The Voice Korea.” Now as an official singer, Sonnet Son is determined to win over the country again with her powerful and emotional voice.

Double A’s Aoora Releases 19+ Short Music Video for “Body Party”

Posted: 27 Mar 2014 08:27 PM PDT

Double A (AA) member Aoora released the short music video for his solo track “Body Party” through the official 1theK YouTube channel. The music video is rated 19+.

Aoora was not just a regular member of Double A, but also the group’s album’s producer and song writer. Taking a step away from his group, Aoora has made his solo debut with his new album. 

“Body Party” features pop artist Betty Rose and is a smooth R&B song. The synth reeds combined with the piano instrumental, along with Aoora’s mellow voice, makes the song very easy on the ears. Fans of Double A might be surprised by this different style, but will nonetheless enjoy the song.

The music video does not have any visuals that warrant the 19+ rating, but the song does loop the sound of a woman moaning throughout the song.
