Eddy Kim, known to some as Kim Jung Hwan from the fourth season of audition program "Superstar K," released another image teaser for fans.

This time around, Eddy Kim leans back on a rail while he gently fingers his guitar.

On the audition program, he was an early favorite, winning over the hearts of singer Lee Seung Chul and the rest of the judges with his original composition "2 Years Apart," and last October, after finishing his military service, the singer signed with Yoon Jong Shin's agency Mystic89, and will finally be releasing his first album on April 3.

Wheesung to Make a Comeback in May with Song by “With Me” Composer Kim Do Hoon

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:38 AM PDT

It was announced today that singer Wheesung will be making his comeback in May with his first mini album since military service discharge! It has been two years and five months since his completion of his mandatory military service.

What makes this news even more exciting is the possibility that the title track of the new album will be from composer Kim Do Hoon, who also penned possibly Wheesung’s biggest hit, “With Me.”

While it was reported earlier by some news outlets that the title track is decidedly from Kim Do Hoon, Wheesung’s agency, YMC Entertainment, clarified to X Sports News that the title track has not been decided yet: “Composer Kim Do Hoon’s song is about the candidates for the title track.”

Wheesung’s new mini album is expected to contain five to six tracks and with a classic R&B title track.

Song Ji Hyo and Gary Butt Heads on “Running Man”

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 11:53 PM PDT

'Monday couple' Song Ji Hyo and Gary butt heads on the March 30 episode of SBS's "Running Man," the third part of "Running Man's" Australia special, featuring Rain and Kim Woo Bin, where they transformed into sheriffs on the search for gold in the mid 1800s.

The members and guests carried out missions to win star badges. One of the missions was one-on-one competitions, where the rest of the members could wager badges on who they think would win. Following a competition between Rain and Kim Jong Kook, Song Ji Hyo and Gary went head-to-head.

The game was to pour water blindfolded into a wine glass over someone's head, at which Gary's expression became very confident. Seeing this, Kim Jong Kook, suspicious, asked if he wasn't going to lose on purpose for Song Ji Hyo. Gary replied, "Absolutely not. There's only one star." Song Ji Hyo, hearing this, said that Gary only got to where he is because of her, and how could he be like that? Gary calmly replied that that is how one lives life, patting Song Ji Hyo on the shoulder. Song Ji Hyo, feeling betrayed, revealed that she would not go easy on him.

Watch a clip of the competition below!
