Crayon Pop’s Surprise Street Showcase Stops Traffic!

Posted: 04 Apr 2014 12:55 AM PDT

On April 3, Crayon Pop held their surprise street showcase for their upcoming comeback, and the girls sure grabbed people’s attention. As the hilariously cute girls opened their showcase on the street in front of Myungdong Arts Theater, many were caught off guard. From fans to those simply walking by, everyone stopped to catch a glimpse of the girls. The showcase became so popular that the host had to temporarily halt the show so that people would mind their safety due to the overcrowding.

At the surprise showcase, Crayon Pop performed their new song “UH-HEE,” while also performing their former songs “Dancing Queen,” “Bing Bing,” and their hit song “Bar Bar Bar.” Unlike their previous promotions in which the five girls wore motorcycle helmets, this time the girls had bright red handkerchiefs wrapped around their heads. Furthermore, “UH-HEE” featured a chicken dance in which the girls hopped on one leg. 

Moreover, Crayon Pop’s fellow label mates K-Much performed, “Don’t Know Anything” and “What Should I Do.”At their showcase, Crayon Pop expressed their gratitude towards the attention as the group stated, “Two years ago we were here in Myungdong holding signs and performing guerrilla concerts to try and promote our name, so this place is very special to us. It’s different than last time because it’s a new feeling to have so many people here to watch us. Thank you very much. We will continue on with the same heart we had when we debuted.”

In regards to why Crayon Pop’s showcase had taken place three times in three different locations, the group’s agency answered, “Since their rookie days, Crayon Pop used to do guerrilla performances on the streets to try and promote their name. Thus, we believe that it’s important for Crayon Pop to personally go and let people know of their comeback, which is why we had multiple showcases.”

Crayon Pop made their official comeback with “UH-HEE” on the April 3 broadcast of Mnet‘s “M! Countdown.”

As Kwon Joon Young acts (or more like sits there looking extremely adorable) as Gook, the child received much love off screen from the other actors and staff. Along with the photos, the baby (or his parents?) wrote, “Emergency Couple’s Gook/ Kwon Joon young with hyung Oh Chang Min (Choi Jin Hyuk) who smells like flowers. Many people have shown love for Joon Young, but Choi Jin Hyuk has especially shown his affection as he always washed his hands before holding Joon Young.Thank you.”

The adorable photos completely displayed Choi Jin Hyuk’s affection towards the baby, and perhaps also depicted his fatherly instincts!

The troubles keep on piling up for comedian Lee Soo Geun. After being found guilty of gambling just a few months ago, the once prolific comedian is now being sued for over USD$1.8 million in damages as a result of his conviction.

In an telephone call with news media outlet, X Sports News, a representative from Lee Soo Geun’s agency, SM C&C, stated that their legal team is currently negotiating a suitable settlement for this case. They continued to state that they hope that the two parties can reach a reasonable agreement and that this would indeed be the best outcome for both parties.

According to reports, car product manufacturer, Bullsone, filed a USD$1.8 Million damage suit against SM C&C and Lee Soo Geun on April 1. The first hearing for this case was held on April 2. At this point, the parties were asked to head to the negotiations table first before moving ahead any further.

In their official complaint, Bullsone state that “Not only did Lee Soo Geun, our product model, damage our brand image by involving himself in illegal acts, his actions also meant that we could no longer use the ads in which he appears in.” In regards to the actual damage sum, Bullsone states that the value is derived from the appearance payments already made to Lee Soo Geun, the cost of producing the ads and the cost of producing replacement ads.
