[PaoAiJieLun]

harhar....
rhymes. ^^

anyway.... i wonder where Jecka is? where's all the se7en lovers...?

-----------
okay.. so there's gonna be the repackaged album released on july 07....
and man, natz from soompi heard it might sell for around USD50-70 cos the price for it over at China's around 600-900 yuan... (cos they're doing preorders.)

whoah... big money. O.o

but of course it's gonna be soooooo pretty... we won't regret buying it right? ^^

hahaha....

[jessica]

Meli: thanks for starting a new thread :hugz: i was waiting for Jecka to start part V :oops: ah, that tattoo is like a thorn in my heart o_o

Pao: thanks for all the updates ^^ i was turning green with envy when i read that you went to his concert too! the repackaged version is a bit pricey ><

i have some catching up to do. i'll come back with more questions tomorrow :tongue:

[ftlouiea]

It's not feasible to sell a CD for that price... it's JUST NOT allowed. O_O Pao, you'll enlighten us on how pretty and gorgeous it is right? :rolleyes:
I just wish they had warned us, like how everybody knows DBSK come out with a repackage a month after the album's initial release.

Be humble Wookie, young won hee.~

Gomapda Meli unnie!
Maybe this thread will see to 4th jib... :unsure:

[kahel]

damn it 50usd! T____________T but if you promise to go to YG and have it signed for me. I would buy maximum 2 copies haha. XD

it's so expensive. :cry: FTTS did not cost that much, no?

and I heard dong wook-ah is joining the YG family tour (which I'm hoping will hit our part of the world XD)

jessica bogoshipda. and that tattoo. I guess he wanted to incorporate the realness of munshin in himself? =P

dana yes, humility is a huge part of success and ownage of fangirldom. *i suddenly remembered lee jun ki *giggles**

[ker_ai_teresa]

so what's been happening with Mr. Choi these days? my usual supplier of se7en clips and news has been busy with exams so I've been deprived. ><

meli, don't resize the pic! :bounce:
it's so pretty.... ^^

jess--> I happen to like the tat....well at the very least, it doesn't cause me any annoyance. :happy:

[PaoAiJieLun]

dana
yeah!! i was thinking it would sell for $30 max.... but.... yeah, might just go and start saving up for it... >.<

meli unnie
i promise to camp out at YG once summer starts....:rolleyes:
*yeah yeah!!! FTTS' repackaged one just costed $2 more... BUT.. they don't have the ultra cute lego image of them, right? and se7en has it... so... hahaha...

tes unnie
se7en's still in Korea now... and some lucky girl named Cecilia over at soompi has been getting soooo many encounters with him! And he knows her name... :oops: lucky butt. *okay, i'm ultra neon green with envy.*
hahahahahaha

[nat.yeoh]

HoHoHOhOh let me join in the fun & the craze..
jessica are u by any chance the saem jess in soompi?

so anyway..^we're on the same boat..
all greening with envy over cecilia hehe..
well she did help me once with my own personal encounter with se7en..ehhe
ahh if only time went by slower that day at the airport..it was a short one..

[PaoAiJieLun]

^Cecilia helped you meet se7en? cool!!!~ How did your meeting with se7en go? Tell us!!!~ ^^ I wish i could meet him. ^^

*oh btw, he'll have a fan signing next week, i think... and i soooo wanna go! But i'm afraid i won't make it to the cut again... cos they only let very very few people go in. x.x anyway, i'd try my best.. hwaiting!~

[nat.yeoh]

^he was here in shanghai for the official sprite event..
cecilia helped me get information on his flight details back to korea so i went to the airport to see him off..
even though my dad was strongly against it hehe..but he flew overseas in the mornin so i sneaked out with the permission of my mum heheh..
so yeah i was there at the airport n i got him to sign two of my albums, Just Listen n Must listen..
we couldnt take photographs with him cos Mr.Lee said no..
sob sob..
well i wrote a detailed account on it in soompi..eventhough it was very brief (the meeting) i'm so glad i got to see him upclose..
watched him performed live at the Sprite Awards too..GAHHH so good..

^HWAITING!!! OMG!!i just realised that u're the same Pao! in soompi right!!
i'm ..natz.. in soompi!!hahahah...HELLO!!!
anyway HWAITING!! u can PM cecilia n i think she'll help u out too..she's happy to help anyone who can get to meet se7en..hehe

[fajitapita]

^ omigosh! i'm so jealous!!

anyone see him on the GMAs? super cute when he was handing out the award w/ S.H.E!! tho i think someone mentioned b4 and i agree.. his hair is starting to suspiciously resemble a mullet..

[PaoAiJieLun]

nat
hahahaha.... 반가워 친구야! hahaha... nice to meet you here too natz!!~ ^^ so, you love Jay too? ^^ hehehehe... wow, it's fun seeing you here.. hehe.. yepp, it's the same Pao. ^^ well... it goes quite differently for me... for some reason, Cecilia won't get in touch with me, or can't. x.x so... oh well. it's okay... ^^
Wow, you got 2 of your CDs signed personally by se7en? Coolness!!!~ I wanna have mine personally signed too, but i guess i would just have to leave it to luck. >.< I wish i could go next weekend.... please pray for me!

[pianochic250]

yeah.... i didn't really like his hair at the GMAs...omg but he is still SOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!! do ya'll know if he'll be in china this summer or not???

[zhy378]

So, i bought three Touch perfumes and the sellers were like: "whoah, you must really love se7en." hehehehehe... they can't believe i bought soooo much! hahaha... (and i had more bags with se7en's merchandise in it.. hahaha...)
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/9874/se7en3ep.jpg(i bet you guys already post the pic of it before, but i like the design hehe)

i didnt even know he had his own line of perfume until now because i read something how it is being a great sell in china.
so how does it smell like? flowery or musk jk

[nat.yeoh]

i think he might be going to Hongkong for some internet service provider thing..
other than that..not very sure..but he might join the 10th YG tour which includes China starting from august...

Pao!! FIGHTIN!!!..ehheh i read in soompi that cecilia left her number..
be sure to contact her!!!

[kahel]

yay! so se7en will be joining the YG world tour no? hopefully! 'cause i want to see him with the rest of the YG boys

tes you must dl his perfs! want me to provide you clips. :bleh:

pao dongseng i'm really rooting for you. i still remember those time when we use to exchange really early clips of dongwookie and now you're off to stalk him. :bleh:

nat hello! meetin se7en and talking to him in person is on my list of to dos before i die. hahaha. <3 you are so lucky to have met him.

[ftlouiea]

Ehem.

Naaaaaaaaaat! Do you have any more details of this mini trip to HK? T_T

That YG world tour needs more promotion in the countries that it's taking place at... oh tok hae. ._.

[PaoAiJieLun]

zhy378
hmmm.. how does the perfume smell like.... well, it's got some citrus feel to it and yeah, it's a bit musky... flowery too... dang, i can't describe it. haha.. maybe because i just sniff the sample paper given to me and kept the bottle for eternity. hahaha.. yeah, i haven't put it on yet. x.x hahahaha... me crazy.
*oh, the perfume's not yet sold in China... i think they're just accepting orders cos they only produced a million bottles of Touch, i think... cos it's still on test market.. (from what i read)

nat
i contacted cecilia today.... but... i don't think i can come tomorrow!! >.< WHY are the chances so slim for me??!! Huhuhuhuhuhuuuuuu....

meli unnie
waaaaaahhhhhh....... why am i not staying in Seoul?! tell me!!! >.<

[pianochic250]

HK???? AUGUST???? I'M LEAVING CHINA ON AUGUST....:cry: man, i really wanna know how that perfume smells like now. i bet it's YUMMY! does he actually wear it himself though? haha i wish i was close enough to him and smell it...hehehe

[PaoAiJieLun]

dang, i'm never really gonna be able to see se7en the way Cecilia does... x.x i got exams tomorrow so i can't go over to Seoul to meet Cecilia and tag along with her se7en "stalking". harhar.... x.x

i just gotta wait for another chance. another chance. >.<

[ftlouiea]

What I've found out is that:

There is a summer festival thing at the Asia World Expo on Saturday 22nd July, 2006. Among the HK artists, Se7en has been invited to perform from this source (http://hk.news.yahoo.com/060611/12/1onx9.html). People who use Netvigator in HK can use their points to exchange for 2 tickets (and people are already auctioning their tickets off ._.) whereas other non member can use this as a guide to purchase tickets (on sale 20th June):

The place itself is really far, over on the island along with the airport. Around 12000 audience capacity... AND WE NEED A PAIR OF TICKETS.

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/jayluver310/seven2.jpg
Singer SE7EN (22, Choi Dong Wook) will temporarily stop all activites in Korea to prepare for his debut in the US.

YG Family, SE7EN'S respective company, has expressed online on the 13th, "After this week, SE7EN will suspend all his activites in Korea. We were planning to promote another title song, but because we want to achieve this bigger goal, we hope all fans can understand and forgive us."

They also said, "Because we weren't satisfied with the "밤새도록" music video with the new director, we decided to film it again with the director for 'Nan Arayo'. Although we have wasted alot of production money, we do not want to broadcast anything that we are unsatisfied with."

While SE7EN was promoting his third album, he was also in the mid-production of his fourth album. It is prearranged for him to release his fourth album in October of this year. The title song for the fourth album has already been chosen.

After the end of his activites on June 17th, SE7EN will be staying in the US for three months.

I'm happy that YG has higher standards in mind for their customers, I'm excited to see what they turn out, nan arayo was hot *sizzle*

Dana mei~do u think you'll be able to go?

Wow u people are so lucky to be able to see him live, I hope I get that chance when he comes to the U.S.:-)

http://japanese.chosun.com/site/data/img_dir/2006/05/28/200605280000213insert_3.jpg
let's have some fun... hehehe...

QUESTION! What song is se7en performing in this picture? (you could easily tell cos of the dancestep. ^^)

(this isn't so hard... hehehe..)

[kahel]

NAN ARAYO! nan arayo?

kekekekekekekeke.

this US trip worries me and the early 4th album worries me more. am i gonna see you this year Dong Wook-ah? am I?

:sadangel:

[PaoAiJieLun]

errrr.... nope.. not Nan Arayo... i'm giving another chance... ^^ It's from the 2nd album. ^^

*Meli Unnie
don't worry!!!! The 3 month trip to the US is to improve his english... so, that means, it's for us international fans right?? ^^ But his October release... whoah, i'm sooooo happy about that!!! (but many fans are worrying it'll be a rushed record. x.x)

anyway...

dears... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray that i get to go to his signing and at Inkigayo this week! ^^ PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! these are two of se7en's last promos in Korea before he leaves for the US.... i'm sooooo nervous on this... i pray so hard. +

[kahel]

i thought it was the fancy hand moves on nan arayo. :shy:

so so is it 열정 ? hahaha. that's the only one that will demand hand movements like that on Must Listen. The solo dance part, I bet. :bleh:

I fret Dong Wook will not join the world tour anymore. :cry: and that will be the end of my dreams.

pao dongseng hwaiting!

[PaoAiJieLun]

^Yepp!!!~ It's Passion! ^^ hehehe...

*hmmm.. why do you think he won't join the Tour? cos of the US break he'll have...? (made me think... it's two months till August! And.. that might mean he might not come back for the YG Family Anniv Concert in Korea... but... THAT CAN'T BE. x.x)

[puukiness]

wow 3 months in the US? thats so cool! that means i have a 10000000000000000000000000th chance of bumping into him on the streets!hahahaha, anyone know where he'll be staying?going? erh, if he's planning to do some promotional events at the US? i'm going to be gone for half his 3 months! T_T

[bethie_me]

Hello Se7en fans! I haven't been here for a long time :oops:. Trying to collect as much Se7en stuff as my pocket money can afford. I got 4 CDs and a poster so far! Woot!

Anyone know if Se7en is really going to HK in the summer? (Because I'm going to HK this summer!!!@#(*&$@#):excited: :excited: :excited: I thought YG is going to isolate him in the US for three months, but how is that possible when his 4th album is coming out in October ?
I just read a post by cecilia (omg, she's such a big 7 fan) on soompi and she wrote that

24/7 chinese version released in July (maybe?)
4th japanese single in the summer
2 shows in hk (july and august) ???


Poor 7~~~He's doing work in Korea, Japan, AND US. Wow, they are really pushing him! But hey, he handles it pretty well. :D

Anyone saw Se7en's World Cup performance???

Omg, this must be the 100th time that Wookie performed Passion :glug: !
I love7's red outfit :brows: and the haircut :brows: ! After watching this performance, I still think 7 is a little boy and not the big guy that they are trying to turn him into. He look so cutee~

[liliceprincess]

OMG! its the world cup performance! ^^ its soo cute! he looks so adorable and he looks sooo sooo cute! his shirt is really nice.but ahh the jeans..ahah they look a lil weird to me..but yet cute

aww i cannot wait for him to come to US ..it might be my chance to meet him if he comes to the west side of US :D

pianochic250 ahah no problem for the news but aww i think i have to agree with you. he might be in cali or ny..ahhh i hope he is in CALI! cause im going ^^ in a few days..ehehhe i cannot wait! it would be soo insane to see him in cali...*wishes*

Pao yea i think he is going to stop his work >< i mean its soo sad that he has to, it worries me but then at the same time its a great opportunity for him to try to make it in the US..not many people can do it :happy: And if he does, *dies* i will be soo happy if he will.

Actually i heard that Wal-mart has signed to have more korean products..which makes me think :whistle:

bethie_me aww sorry but >< noo he is going to be in the Us this summer..but aww i think he will be back in august i think.:rolleyes: aww hoope you get ur chance!

[chiinkydorkk]

bethie_me: Thanks much for the pictures and the link to the performance.

Ah! The performance was just super hot. I love Se7en's hairstyle that way. Hehe. Don't know way, but Wookie reminds me of Chris Brown. Eh? Anyways, was that GDYB performing with Se7en? Yeah, I'm pretty slow. Sorry about it. :shy:

[bethie_me]

liliceprincess
Maybe Wookie won't be completely isolated at US? I mean, he's got so much going on in Asia, he must make a trip or two back! :cry: Waah, I'm so desperate!

chiinkydorkk
Yea, it looks like GDYB to me...his hair is a nice change from the mohawk thingy eh? It looks so cute and young.
The really cool part of the performance was the beginning when the huuuge ass crowd of people stood up for 7 :-) !! And the trampoline part was fun to watch, how they jumped off it one by one~~ :bleh:

[fajitapita]

mmm, i totally agree w/ ya bethie_my, he looks like the younger version of se7en again in the world cup perf^^ so adorable! i really like his hair in it, too! tho.. did he not seem as energetic in it as he usually is? mebbe just my imagination..

bah! i hope he coems to cali too!! but hopefully norcali!! *crosses fingers*

Actually i heard that Wal-mart has signed to have more korean products..which makes me think
really?? that's pretty awesome! tho i wonder how well it's gonna do..

[nat.yeoh]

PAO!!!u can do it!!
u can meet him n everythin n watch him perform all nigh LIVE!!! AHHHH
i wanna be in ur shoes hehe..

YG hasnt finalised their tour destinations yet..but i know it starts in august..
that's all i know..
i'd be so sad when he goes over to the US..
it's like seeing him on korean tv less n less..
but i hope YG will post videos n images of him.. hehehehe

[jbalibean]

liliceprincess~ do u think they might sign Se7en's perfumes at Walmart? That would be pretty crazy if they did. I thought there was a limited amount produced :hmm:

chiinkydorkk~ I see what u mean about Chris Brown~ their styles are similar and both very catchy^^

Edit: I just saw his World Cup performance! He seemed a little out of breath at the beginning :worry: this was exciting for me because this is the first time I've seen him perform 'All night' and 'Run' I really liked it!

[jessica]

whoa, backlogs :sweat:

maybe i'll get used to his tattoo when he gets older o_o; my head is spinning with all these news on him lately. another album within the same year ^^; i never knew that he had plans to debut in the US -.- and he also wanted to act? i'm so behind with his news :cry:

if he's coming on the 17th, that means he should be here tomorrow :glug: :excited: i doubt that he'll be in the East Coast, but to those lucky West Coast residents, keep your eyes opened and visit ktown frequently! =P

nay.yeoh: there are so many jessica's on soompi. i'm certain that i'm not the one you have in mind :D

bethie: do you know where i can download that World Cup performance? i didn't even know he was invited to perform x_x

Pao: good luck on attending the signing! 아자 아자 화이팅~!!!

[pianochic250]

whoa, backlogs :sweat:

[liliceprincess]

:wave: everyone

bethie_me aww its okay, but yea i have to agree with you he is so popular in Asia there has to be trips back and forth from the US :happy:

fajitapita aahah yea i read from an article a while back somewhere that ever since Goong has bloomed in the US, there has been a large demand for Korean products. I have no idea.ahah i think it will do well as long as Korean products keep getting as popular and even more as it is doing right now. ahah yea! look out for him for me for the next few days.eheh then im going to be in cali..eheh taking a trip there.a.ww i hope he does :whistle: cause then it would be soo awesome to see him!

jbalibean woah..lol im slow..ahah i didnt know he has perfume..ahah mm i am not sure if they will. But i know for sure that there will be a lot of Se7en and Rain products and then korean series.

if he's coming on the 17th, that means he should be here tomorrow i doubt that he'll be in the East Coast, but to those lucky West Coast residents, keep your eyes opened and visit ktown frequently! =P

=O its today! OMG! i wonder where he is right now, but then again wait if he is leaving on the 17th doesnt it mean from the flight he would arrive tomorrow? :wacko: ahah i have no idea..i wonder where he is going to be at? hopes he is coming to the west..ehehe i cannot wait to look for him. Hope he comes to Vegas at least once..ahah *crosses fingers too*

pianochic250 aww its okay, i mean dont give up on that dream, jay chou has went to tennessee and all. :happy: maybe Se7en will too.

[une_topaze]

another album within the same year ^^; i never knew that he had plans to debut in the US -.- and he also wanted to act? i'm so behind with his news :cry:

Huhu, that makes the two of us dongseng. Somehow I'm not that enthusiastic over Wookie's future venture into the US market and acting. It just reminded me so much of Bi's own activities.

Ah,,, Pao's post makes me wanna stay in Hanguk too. Should seriously consider about moving,,,, aish,,,

[pianochic250]

wendy; WHAT???? JAY CAME TO TN BEFORE???? WHEN WAS THIS????I'M FREAKIN OUT HERE....

Se7en is ending his local activites to prepare his plan to enter the American market. Because of this, Se7en will be leaving for Los Angeles this June 23 and will stay in the US for 3 months. And around October, Se7en will be releasing a new album and will start again his activities in Korea.

here's my story... those of you who go to soompi might have read it already *winks@nat&meli*

hehe.. anyway... i'm just soooo happy...

I don't have the ability to go and see him whenever I feel like it, so moments like this - scheduled fan signing - is all that i could depend on to get up close to him. So having missed seeing him up close for the nth time, i didn't let this chance pass me by...

So, i went to Seoul as early as i could possibly can (okay, i got there at around 8:30 am... dang, why do i have to live outside Seoul?! haha...) and found a very very long line... shocking. Well, not really. Haha... Some of the people slept at the line, cos it's a first come first served thingy. >.<
We waited a very very long time, and for a while, i feared that i can't make it to the cut, cos i misunderstood the big banner hanging outside... -.-;; turns out it says that the store will give signed CDs to the first 100 customers. haha... i thought they'll only have 100 fans for the signing. Hehe, my poor korean. >.<

Anyway, so.. we waited for about 4 hours to get our numbers.. and then had lunch and then went back again to wait till 4 pm when we had to line up again. At around 5pm, the lines are getting more organized and so we just waited for the signing.

Finally, at around 5:30, se7en came in his van... my poor camera of course can't seem to get good shots but i still use it. Haha... anywho.. here's se7en getting off his van, he's the one wearing white. ^^

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e371/pao3/S2022424.jpg

And then he went upstairs where the signing will be held.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e371/pao3/S2022425.jpg

he waved at the peeps over at this window... still dang my camera missed it. x.x Hehe.. anyway, he's soooooooo cute!~

And so, at around 6:30.. it was finally my turn to come up the siging place... I was very nervous, my heart was beating fast.. I was rehearsing what I'll say to se7en cos i might just stare at him blankly and say stupid nonsensical stuff... haha... I got into the room and was still in line... and i was really very nervous cos it's my first time to see se7en way way up close! ^^ Then it was finally my turn.

I was facing se7en, he's in front of me!!! Really can't believe it. TvT

So i said, "저는 해외 팬이예요..." And then se7en goes, "Oh! 해외 팬! g------" (해외 (haewae) means foreign^^) ... I didn't catch what he said next, something starting with 'g', but i'm quite sure he didn't really say anything.... hehe.. just mumbled. And since i'm shocked by his reaction (i mean, se7en, speaking with me!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!), i wasn't really able to say anything but, "Yeah... yeah... " and smile crazily... Yepp, i was at a loss for words. Good thing se7en talked again and said, "So, what's your name?" (IN ENGLISH!!!~ ^^ ) then i went, "Oh, it's Paola. " Then se7en says, "Okay... (then goes to write my name... ^^) Then i remembered I have to tell him stuff that i practiced... Haha.. so i told him, "I gotta tell you this... you're a fantastic performer!" Then he shakes my hand and says "Thank You"... Then i had to leave, with a very very big smile on my face.


Definitely one of my happiest moments... It still seems like a dream to me... I'm dazed and still overwhelmed.

Too overwhelmed that's why I don't remember how goodlooking he was, how nice his smile was and how his hand felt like. Dang, really can't remember! >.< Hehe... Anyway, i just pray there will be a next time. ^^

1st album: track 3 - Come Back to Me (his classic hit), track 4 - One More Time
2nd album: track 1 - Passion, track 6 - Tattoo
3rd album: track 2 - I Know, track 4 - Come Back to Me part 2, track 5 - Oh No!, track 7 - All Night Long, track 9 - The One (my personal favorite <333)

Pao: omo!!!!!! you give me hope that overseas fans visiting Korea will have a chance at stalking gasoos (with luck of course)! :excited:

bethie: aww, don't need to apologize :hugz: i found the LQ perf a few days ago. i'm going to make a cut out of the HQ if i ever manage to DL it :sweat:
hope you'll get to run into him too!

pianochic: i don't think he's going to do a lot of activities in the States during his 3 months stay because he'll be busy with recording and...making inroads here. then he'll be back to Korea to promote his 4th jib in Oct. aish, why must it be Oct :oops:

[PaoAiJieLun]

bethie_me
hahaha... share some of se7en's bacteria? i remember during the concert he drank from this water bottle and the girls got crazy over the battle with which he drank from.... share some se7en saliva, must be? :excited: hehehehe... it's like a third hand kiss already!!! hahahaha.. can't believe i'm saying this. x.x

pianochic
i forgot how he looked like upclose.. x.x didn't smell him though, can't go THAT near. hehehe... and yepp, his english was fabulous!

jessica
yes yes yes!!! gasoos are easier to meet than actors. x.x you could see them practically all over Seoul, specially during promos.. cos they go to music shows and stuff. ^^

sooooo... se7en's in the US now... heard he's staying over at Teddy's house... that must be fun... Teddy and se7en are roomies! hehehehe.. ^^

[pianochic250]

paola: awwwwwwwww man....you didn't smell him?!?!?! how sad... :cry: hmmmmmmmm so se7en is staying at teddy's house? i'm assuming teddy's house is in LA? gosh. how i wanna go there SO BAD

jessica: man! how horrible!!!!!!! well, i wish he would take a little traveling tour to see the US...hehe. so he's here to record his next album??? omg but i don't live in korea...and the chances of me going there this year is VERY slim...*Sniff*

[PaoAiJieLun]

^well, as far as i know, Taebin and Teddy lives in Diamond Bar, somewhere in California... so, people online are all driving there now. hahahaha....

hmmmm... from the news, they said that they already decided which song would be the title song of the album, so... i guess they're almost finished with the album? or still on the process of making it? I'm thinking they were doing it at the same time as the 3rd album.... that's why they can release it so fast. ^^

and oh, the repackaged album will be released on the 14th of July, not on the 7th. x.x

[ftlouiea]

If Teddy's going to produce Wookie's songs like before... <3

Mwo, but they killed the magic that was the SEVENTH day. :dry:

bethie_me: You could try catching Wookie if you're still in HK on the 22nd July. :D They finally confirmed and it had me wheezing at 1am in the morning. I'M GONNA SEE DONGWOOK SSHI PERFORM! :bounce:

You lucky bum! Have fun at the performance! Bring a drool bucket ^_- Thanks for the info! ^_^

what's he gonna do in HK on July 22??? Wow.. that would be fun fun fun!!!~ ^^

Meli unnie
i know you'd be getting crazy now, knowing se7en's coming to HK on July... and at the same week that DBSG's having their concert in malaysia!!! >.< decisions... x.x

[ftlouiea]

I don't know about August, since he's going to U.S. until 4th jib release, no? He's just popping back for one-off performances and promotions I guess. Is no-one worried that Wookie's being overworked? Two albums being released within a year's time? :unsure:

Pao: He's going to the Netvigator organised MOOV festival (http://moov.netvigator.com/music/static/index.jsp?pageName=e_lovemusic060722) thingy. Above seeing Wookie and another artist, I want to see what exactly is so amazing about Twins. :shifty:

On the 11th, on Se7en's webpage, he had posted a dance practice picture with himself topless in it. This brought many visits to his page because since debut, this is the first time Se7en had revealed his upper body.

It is usual for singers to take off their shirts on stage to bring up the atmosphere after a performance. Like Rain, he would always take off his shirt at his concerts that attracts many screams. But on the hand, Se7en never took off his shirt on stage. Most of the time he would just wear a no sleeve t-shirt.

Regarding this picture, Se7en's company explained that this is only for commemoration for 'Se7en Day' on July 7. They said, "Because the special album that was said to be released on July 7 has been postponed, we felt really apologetic. So we decided to reveal Se7en's topless dance practice picture and clip."

--------------------------------
When I saw this I was like Se7en doing this noo..

[panda_shine]

This thread is kind of quiet? :unsure:

Jerry: I just saw that clip and it's kinda hot.. I mean the dancing.. :D :rolleyes:

I also just saw a clip of Se7en dancing to Passion with Caucasian dancers and I am not sure if it's recent..

I am really excited about Se7en's upcoming album too.. but I haven't really been keeping up with his recent news about him going to the US. Is he trying to break in to the American market or just there to record his upcoming album?

[Rain[Bi]]

panda_shine: I know its quite unlike the Rain thread so fast and long post, but I guess I can't keep holding up posting *backlogs*. I didn't see that video though, and I don't think I want to watch it. I think he wants to become popular in the US and then maybe go around the world lol.

The Miss Hong Kong candidates finally finished their twelve-day filming at Korea and finally returned to Hong Kong. Yesterday they danced with Korea's hot star Se7en for their mv. The girls jumped for joy when they saw Se7en.

Yesterday morning the 16 candidates were led by Chin Ka Lok for another day of filming at a gingseng field. After that, they went to Asia's biggest park and played with different kinds of flowers.

That day's plans were packed but although they were all tired, the candidates wanted to meet special guest Se7en. Even though they had to take a three-hour bus to meet him, they were willing to. When Se7en came out, it is like the fans meeting their idols. All of them couldn't stand still. Se7en and the candidates danced to his song, Passion. They attracted alot of Hong Kong tourists and Korean fans to watch.

Se7en is recently learning music, dance, and English at America. He especially returned to Korea to film with the candidates. Meeting the candidiates for the first time, Se7en immediately praised them of being pretty and generous. The happy candidates fought to have their pictures taken with Se7en for commemoration.

While filming the candidiates were really curious and asked why he used '7' to substitute ''v' for his English name. Se7en expressed that 7 is his lucky number and hopes he can have concerts at Hong Kong and mainland soon. Se7en will be appearing on Jade Solid Gold this week to meet his fans

-------------------------------------------------

the girls are so lucky! and aww so cool that he just went back to korea just to film it and all

[panda_shine]

Thanks for the articles, Jerry and Wendy! :happy:

Like I said at the picture thread, the packaging for the HK version looks soo sleek and nice! The mini figurine is soo cute!

I am glad to hear that the Se7en and Miss HK collab is actually happening hehe. I heard about it awhile ago and was so excited about it.. I wonder if he'll be performing at the live show too?

Se7en Loses Luggage with Undergarments at Hong Kong

Yesterday Korean star Se7en 'raided' Hong Kong like a tornado. He is recently promoting himself but many problems hindered. Se7en's luggage with his undergarments and clothes had vanished. But Se7en still continued to smile to the fans and didn't mind that he was almost 'chest raided'.
Yesterday morning at 11, Se7en with six dancers and several staffs arrived at Hong Kong. But because one of the dancer had a fever, he was taken away to be questioned by the workers. Se7en also lost one of his luggage and had to report to the authorities which took up an hour. Since Se7en and the dancers had cool looks, 20 fans recognized them once they stepped out. Until the reporters rushed in, the fans surrounded him. The securities and people from his company escorted Se7en away. Se7en continued to reveal a sweet smile and waved to the fans. He personally accepted the gifts and signed autographs for fans. A fan even grabbed Se7en's strong arms, almost touching his chest. The fans praised that Se7en is even more handsome than Rain.
During the afternoon, Se7en had an interview with Metro City and said numerous times to the media in Cantonese, "Hello, I am Se7en, thank you, pretty girl." Se7en didn't refuse to talk about being unhappy about the lost lugagge and wouldn't disclose what was in it. He said, "Secret, it's very important. (Is it undergarments?) Yes (nods embarassingly) but I already reported it." But his interpreter denied that he lost his undergarments and that he is lucky he brought another lugagge with clothes with him.
Afterwards Se7en performed with Aaron Kwok, Twins, and others. He said he isn't familiar with Hong Kong artists, but loves Stephen Chow and Maggie Cheung. "Stephen Chow is very handsome (said in Mandarin) and funny. I will definately film actions films with him if I had the chance to." Moreover, on a Korean website's poll of 'Who do you want to do CPR on with the most?', Se7en wins first place, followed by Rain and Ju Ji Hoon.

Se7en Craze Reaches Jade Solid Gold

http://the-sun.orisun.com/
http://www.asianfanatics.net
translations by xbunnylicious

Korean star Se7en has arrived at Hong Kong and last night he appeared on Jade Solid Gold with Soler, Stephanie Cheng, and others. Once he came on stage, the 200 Se7en fans screamed crazily. Se7en sang two songs along with his difficult dance moves. He also greeted the audiences with Cantonese which was impressive. During his performance, he suddenly went down the stage towards the audience which caused a commotion. He praised the Hong Kong fans of being kind and feels excited coming to Hong Kong.

Stephanie was on the same stage as Se7en, but didn't have an opportunity to cooperate with him yet. She said because she was nervous while performing, she sang some of her lyrics wrong. She really admires Se7en and seeing him in person really has the "wow" feeling. Compared with Rain, Stephanie thinks that Rain is really cute and Se7en is really cool.


karen wow we need to get some ppl in here to talk i feel like i am talking to myself in here :worry:

Rain[Bi] thanks for the news!

[jessica]

this thread used to move faster when jecka was here. where is Mrs. Choi? =(

thanks for all the news Jerry and Wendy ^^ i saw the topless dance too and wasn't very comfortable with it, but i agree with Karen that his dancing was hot :rolleyes: so many things to look forward to ^^

lol. he also likes Stephen Chow? his films must've been popular in Korea in the past.

i made it to the 7th page <3

[rachelle03]

No wonder I somehow heard the tune of Come back to me Part II on local radio station but it doesnt seems that he's singing in Korean. So it does have a chinese version afterall! :D

[bethie_me]

Thanks to liliceprincess and Rain[Bi] for the news! Se7en always put on a smile through troubles in life. ^_^ Fighting!
jessica
I agree ..The topless dance was a little weird. They try to mature him so fast, which kinda disappoint me sometimes. But at the same time, it's so hot, lol. The choreography never fails to impress me!
rach
I want to hear the chinese version of Wah Joh pt2 so bad! I'm going to grab a copy of the HK version of 24/7 in HK :D.
My friend came by to visit me at work today and I told her that I'm saving up for the LA YG Family concert... (WOOT~) Then she's like, "Oh...Se7en? My friend is friends with him (nod nod) " Then I went crazy...all hell break loose, haha. I became a very unprofessional sales lady by squealing very loudly...:bleh:
Her friend used to be in my Math class!!! My god...now I regret not making friends with him, lol. Damn. Must stalk that guy. And then I'll casually bring up the topic of Se7en so he won't feel like I'm using him, lol.

[une_topaze]

']"Because the special album that was said to be released on July 7 has been postponed, we felt really apologetic. So we decided to reveal Se7en's topless dance practice picture and clip."

This comment is so funny!!! The management really know how to disperse angry fangirl's fury over the delay. Topless Wookie definitely did the trick.

They should delay more stuff so we get more topless Wookie, ne???

On the serious side, seems like YG is going all out to make our dongseng an asian star. I hope he won't get burnt out from the fast pace schedule. I'm looking forward to the next album, but until then I'm so loving the positive headlines he's making outside Korea.

Aja aja!!

Meltdown between Rain and Se7en this autumn
20 Jul 06, Sportainment News
Journalist TaK Jin Hyeon reports

Popular singers Rain and Se7en meet in challenge this autumn in Korea's and Japan's music entertainment market.

Rain and Se7en will be releasing their singles together in Japan this September. Following that, both will return to Korea this October and releasing their 4th album. It is expected that both will kick up some competition in Japan and Korea's music industry.

The original plan only saw the simultaneous release of their album in Korea. However, release of Rain's Japanese single and Japanese album was pushed back to September from its original release date in August. This coincides with Se7en's Japanese single release date. Therefore, the challenge between these two will kick off in Japan, then to Korea's music market.

On Asian stages, Korean representative singers Rain and Se7en have always been compared against each other. Now that the two singers are finally standing on the stage at the same time, one can only imagine the whirlwind they'll kick up in Korea and Japan.

[liliceprincess]

Here is some recent news about his tour =D

Se7en, 7 countries in 9 days

It is nearly like the novel "Around the World in 80 Days". Singer Se7en travelled to 7 countries in 9 days. In only one week, he had appearances in China, USA, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan and back and forth. Se7en wanted to prepare for his debut in the USA so he went to the United States at the end of June. But suddenly, on July 15, he recieved an award which was to be accepted in China. "China Original Music Ranking Sprite Awards" could not be missed. Here, Se7en did not get less than 3 awards. The next day, he travelled to the USA but left again on the 19th to promote his album in Hong Kong. Two days later, he performed in Seoul for an awards show. He then went to Japan to shoot for his Japanese single cover. He only stayed in Japan for one day because he had another appearance in Hong Kong. The day after that, he then came back to America. This time, he would not be leaving there any time soon. He will only come back to Korea in mid-August for a concert.

-----------------------------------------------------------
WOAH! that is a lot of countries to go to in 9 days! :excited: i hope that he doesnt overwork himself with jetlag and the time difference of each country

[Jordan71]

Take five for this Se7en
HIS is a lucky number that has brought him fame.

HIS is a lucky number that has brought him fame.

Naming himself after his favourite number, K-popster Se7en has been making big waves since debuting in Korea in 2003.

Last year, the 22-year-old star broke into Japan with aplomb, and then China and South-east Asia.

Next stop: The US.

In late June, Se7en, whose real name is Choi Dong Wook, moved to Los Angeles to immerse in the local culture and polish his English.

He lives in a small town and is adjusting to life well, he wrote in a message posted on his website on 7 Jul, which he calls 'Seven day'.

'I don't have much to do, but that's great,' he wrote.

'Although it has been said that I came here to learn English, I'm actually here to rest, and I'm elated.'

After all, life has been a whirlwind of promotions and performances since he entered the scene after training for four years under his dynamic mentor Yang Hyun Suk.

This year especially, Se7en has been busy jetsetting the region to either plug his albums or receive awards.

During the MTV Asia Awards in Bangkok, he won the Favourite Artiste Korea award and made a strong impression with his sleek dance and signature handstand.

More recently, he stole some thunder from Cantopop King Aaron Kwok as a guest star for the latter's concert in Hong Kong.

It was only after wrapping up the promotions for his latest album, 24-Se7en, that he was able to leave for LA.

And it looks like he is enjoying the break.

After all, he gets to relax and go grocery shopping at the mall opposite his house - an impossibility back in Seoul where he is a household face.

He shares his new home with two male co-workers, and he joked that his room is getting messy.

He cooks too, but only simple dishes, he wrote.

MENTOR POSTS CLIP

While he is away, his mentor Hyun Suk surprised fans by posting online a video of a topless - and muscular - Se7en rehearsing in a dance studio.

The older man wrote that Se7en would be angry if he saw the clip, but as long as fans like it, 'even if I get scolded it's worth it'.

Apparently, Se7en is fiercely loyal to his mentor. The latter was part of the popular 1990s dance-pop group Seo Taiji & Boys, but later founded his own company, YG Entertainment, and groomed R&B stars like Wheesung, 1Tym and Lexy.

When Wheesung left the company months ago, Hyun Suk was reportedly so affected that Se7en decided to renew his contract a year in advance to cheer him up.

Together, both are working hard to establish YG America and make inroads for Se7en's impending Hollywood debut.

A concert world tour is also lined up, as YG celebrates its 10th anniversary. Featuring all YG artistes, it will begin in Seoul on 19 Aug, then move to Japan and the US.


24-Se7en is out in the stores.

Currently 21 years old, Korean artist Se7en was a performaning guest at the Miss Hong Kong pageant. He also spent some time to visit the Hong Kong Disneyland. He led the cartoon characters in a parade and the park even played a welcoming song for him.

Se7en and his dancers played many games and went on many rides. After going on the Space Mountain, he yelled that it was really fun.

He also said excitedly, "One more time!" Being too happy to leave, he said in Cantonese, "I'm really happy today, but it's too hot."

[gigiopolis]

^ I heard Hong Kong Disneyland was absolutely crappy. I'm going tomorrow and I'm a bit apprehensive...lol. But you know, hanging out with Se7en on the same day would've totally made up for any crappiness.

He was so hot in the Miss HK pageant. *dies*

[Jordan71]

Se7en back in Hong Kong

HE may be staying in Los Angeles now, but that does not stop K-popster Se7en from making frequent trips to Hong Kong.

Last week, the 22-year-old was invited to tour Disneyland with his dancers, much to the pleasant surprise of many tourists.

He said his favourite ride was the Space Mountain roller coaster.

After all, Se7en is used to doing somersaults and other hip-hop stunts on stage.

He was last seen flaunting his signature handstand at the recent Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2006

Source: Crienglish

South Korean pop singer SE7EN's second Mandarin album, "Qi Xi," will reportedly be released on Wednesday, adding an extra romantic flavor to the second Chinese Valentine's Day of the Chinese Lunar Calendar this year. 　　

The cover single "Qi Xi" is the Chinese version of the South Korean hit "COME BACK PART 2." Chinese mainland lyricist Cui Ru penned the words for the song. 　　

It is the rising Korean star's third Mandarin song since he launched his music career in China last year. 　　

SE7EN's Chinese record company, 21-East, revealed the singer was not satisfied with being just a pop idol and had also participated in the production of seven songs on the new album. 　　

Since the star's debut Mandarin album "Must Listen" was released at the beginning of this year, SE7EN has gained wide attention and more fans in China. His rhythmic beats, good looks and dazzling dances have won him several music awards and invitations as a guest performer in China. 　　

SE7EN was also recently invited to sing the theme song for the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix athletics championships with hurdling star Liu Xiang.

Seven Poised to Enter Billboard Chart Next Year

Singer Seven will release a single early next year with the purpose of entering the U.S. Billboard chart and emerging as a globally renowned star.

According to YG Entertainment, which opened an office in Los Angeles, USA in April, Seven will announce a single with English vocals early next year to establish his presence in the American music market. A person from YG Entertainment said the singer plans to release three or four singles and a full-length album in the United States next year, and that the new songs will be similar in style to those of top American artists Usher and Justin Timberlake.

YG Entertainment America has hired several American music producers to ensure Seven’s success in the United States, and even chose Morgan Carey, the brother of pop diva Mariah Carey, as its partner because Carey is known to have a vast human network in the American music market.

Seven’s agency says the singer will continue to make all kinds of endeavors to reap positive results in the United States, following his successful career in the Japanese music market, where his three singles and one full-length album made it to the top-ten of the Oricon music chart.

Singer Kim Beom-soo is the only South Korean artist to make it to the Billboard chart so far. Kim’s song “Hello Good-bye Hello,” sung with English vocals, took the 51st spot on the Billboard Single Sales 100 chart in December 2001 through a record label that his agency established in the United States. Another South Korean singer, Mink, who debuted in the United States via a Japanese record company, topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in March, making headlines both in Korea and Japan.

Prior to his debut in the United States, Seven will release his fourth album in Korea in October/

The song is soooooo passable. What happened to the twinkly Hikari, dear wookie. What happened to the, 'I wouldn't release the third album because there were songs I thought weren't good enough', type of Wookie? :depresse:

[whitedwarf]

the mv is cool, though its not exactly revolutionary or anything unlike what Se7en has done before. . .hehe

[xanimeotakux]

i watched the mv. i admit, it's not as good as his past few albums. the mv was kind of weird.. O_O he was at the fence singing and hitting it for half the mv. o.O

[jessica]

i never really liked his japanese songs, and i'll have to add I Wanna to the list >< the PV wasn't that great either. he was in semi-darkness the whole time. i want to see him dance more since this is an upbeat song. what irks me the most is how he said "thur" instead of "there" --;

[JayCy90]

I thought the PV was quite decent. I love his this new song better than his other Japanese songs.Can't wait to listen to the whole single

[une_topaze]

Ommo, what happened to our adorkable Wookie??? YG is exploiting his sexiness,,, aigoo,,,, there's no stopping him from growing up now,,,,

Didn't even realised that Wookie has come up with his latest Jap single :sweat: I'm off to hunt for the song n MV then,,, ^^

[xanimeotakux]

OMG, i love your banner une_topaze!!!! does anyone have info about his sales? are they sky rocketing?

Se7en to Give Solo Concert after 4 Months

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j40/Rain2000/thumb_pcp_download.jpg

Singer Se7en, who will release a new album next month, will give a solo concert October 28 after four months off.

The concert will serve as the finale of the 2006 Seoul Music Festival, which kicks off October 8 for a 22-day run. The festival, the second of its kind, will feature various artists who will stage performances in succession to revive the stagnated domestic music industry.

The festival received a favorable response from audiences last year, as they were able to see the performances of singers Lee Seung-chul, Shin Seung-hoon, Rain, BoA and TVXQ for 35,000 won per ticket and enjoy beer free of charge.

Se7en’s upcoming concert carries special significance because the singer is preparing to debut in the United States and plans to focus on his overseas activities in the near future rather than perform in Korea.

Last month, Se7en enraptured Japanese audiences when he performed in Tokyo and Osaka as part of the World Tour marking the 10th anniversary of YG Entertainment, his agency.

At the upcoming concert, the singer will sing songs from his new album and previous hit songs.

Aside from Se7en, the 2006 Seoul Music Festival will feature such artists as Kim Hyun-chul, DJ D.O.C., Lee Seung-hwan, Sung Shi-kyung, YB Big Mama, Next, TVXQ and M (Lee Min-woo).

The festival is being sponsored by the Seoul municipal government and the charity organization The Chest of Love, which has also staged a campaign inviting visitors to bring used books that will be donated to the needy.

holy...35,000 won?! that's..CHEAP.

woo, that picture of se7en is hot! XD se7en always takes great pictures, haha.

thanks for the news rain[bi] =)

[funkindagirl]

i love se7en! so glad he's releasing another album this october..i admit its a surprise as he only had one out this year but im not complaining! i love his music...rain also releasing at the same time..hope se7en does well!!!

[sweep]

i never really liked his japanese songs, and i'll have to add I Wanna to the list >< the PV wasn't that great either. he was in semi-darkness the whole time. i want to see him dance more since this is an upbeat song. what irks me the most is how he said "thur" instead of "there" --;

Bwahahahaha...I agree with you, with the way he proounced "there" I don't know if he purposely did that kinda like "Nelly-style" or its just his pronunciation. I also prefer him singing upbeat songs.

However, one Jap song that I like of his is "startline".:happy:

Can't wait for his next album. Hopefully lotsa ballads.

[xanimeotakux]

actually, the first time i listened to "i wanna." it sounded like any other horrible pronounced japanese song.. >.>

but then i watched the mv again. and my opinion has slightly changed to the better, and i kind of like it.... lol

[une_topaze]

Arite, there are rumours going around that our Wookie is gonna join the cast of Goong 2. With his upcoming Jibs activities and concerts, how will he squeeze drama shooting inbetween his music? I'm worried even tho it's only a rumour XD

The biggest question is can he act? Ahhh,,,, somehow Hyori's debut acting keeps playing in my mind ,,, aihz

He's back in Korea again, but Hanguk fans gonna see less of him if he's going to do more international promo activities. I bet he's going to Thailand, China, HK, Taiwan, Japan, USA and possibly Singapore/Australia.

se7en fighting!!

The concert sounds exciting! I wish I'm in SK now,,, affordable, great voices and beer,,, perfect recipe for a good time!

[xanimeotakux]

oh, how i wish se7en would have a concert near me. *sigh* i think he had a concert in the US, but i was stupid back then and i didn't even hear of him.. >.>

i wonder if his english has improved from staying at LA for 3 months?

goong 2! woah! that'd be nice if se7en was in it. if he was, i think he would try and do his best in his acting =)

[une_topaze]

Anyone here an official member of luckySE7EN fanclub for the 3rd JIB? When you buy his album, there's a series of number included with the CD that you can key-in to be an official member of his fanclub. (Is it on his Korea-released albums only or for all his international version jib too? Jecka, do you know?)

I checked my mail today and got this from YG. I haven't bought his 3rd album so I can't participate. It will be a nice Bday present for me this year T-T

[xanimeotakux]

oh, how i wish i could go..i'll just tell him happy birthday from my computer...=/

[pinkfireworks]

Se7en's 4th jib is coming out October 26th~~~!!! Zomg... he's going to be so busy again though... T-T

And has anyone else heard about the rumours that he'll be leading in Goong 2? @_@ It's so crazy --- *pokes YG*

[ice_sylph]

Se7en's 4th jib is coming out October 26th~~~!!! Zomg... he's going to be so busy again though... T-T

And has anyone else heard about the rumours that he'll be leading in Goong 2? @_@ It's so crazy --- *pokes YG*

YAY!! can't wait for his fourth album to come out! isn't that a bit too soon? it feels like he only just released his third album. :oops:

i know! i've read about the rumours as well. Goong 2 is gonna be a totally different storyline, is it? i read that the main character is gonna be some guy who found out that he is in fact, a prince (or something like that). would be cool to see how versatile he can be :D

[pinkfireworks]

I think it's too soon too, but he's going to be away in the US for 90% of next year, so I guess it's better that we're left with something. I think YG also wanted Se7en to leave Korea with as lasting an impression as possible.

.___. They're still not announcing who the male lead for Goong will be. T_T

[xanimeotakux]

i haven't watched goong yet, but shouldn't the leads of the first be the leads for the sequel? o.O

nvm, i just read this. The only confirmed news is that NONE of the four original main characters from Season 1 will play in the second season.


wow. freaky. that means se7en may be a lead. who knows..

[ice_sylph]

huh! really! i thought Yul-Goon (i forgot his real name) was the only one confirmed to still be doing Goong 2? oh well. i think se7en would be a good choice, though. *imagine Wookie in traditional Korean costume* cute! lol

[xanimeotakux]

i've never seen se7en's acting skills, so who knows?

has he even acted in a drama/movie before? O_O

would they actually pick se7en for a lead role with no acting experience?

[pinkfireworks]

OMG~ *dies* It's confirmed!!! SE7EN WILL BE THE MALE LEAD IN GOONG 2! T_T

Se7en starring in “Goong 2” confirmed – Singer activities on weekends only
[Originally posted 16 October, 2006. Japanese]

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4930/200610160000271insert1aw6.jpg

Top star Se7en was decided to play the leading role in the second season of “Goong” (Palace).

An authorised personnel from the production company of the same drama said on the 16th “Some days ago, the production team and Se7en’s management met at a place in Seoul and confirmed the contract.” The leading role of “Goong 2” has sparked much talk and still is now that it is verified.

So far,in the many drama and movie offers, he wasn’t going to have acting activities. But at the end of last month, when “Who will star in “Goong” season 2?” news was out, of course all the Korean fans and copyright puchase rights from overseas came rushing in, so the topic would not die.

As for Se7en, who burns with the desire to perform, will show his own style and charm in “Goong 2”.

Among the Korean male singers in Japan, he has achieved the most success with music alone, and is also the first one to achieve success in Thailand. With his performance in “Goong 2”, Se7en is sure to gain much popularity and secure his position as an Asian Star.

Because at the end of last month, when word of Se7en starring in “Goong 2” was ‘arrested’, Yan Hyun-suk YG Entertainment manager said on the homepage, “Because the Korean Wave is a phenomenon which boomed from dramas, even though it was originally thought to be a hindrance to his singing activities, it will be a greatly useful tool to help advancing into the Asia market – China especially. In the future, I think some dramas and castings will be useful for the singer’s activities.”

But Se7en’s 4th album has been announced to released at the end of this month, and now with the addition of his activities in “Goong 2”, it seems that it is his singing activities which will have to be changed. Presently, Se7en has finished recording. If Se7en is starting with filming, then the result is his music activities will be during the weekends.

From the end of this month, filming will start. And the broadcasting will begin from January of next year.

SE7EN - male lead of "Palace 2"

http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/9827/3gs0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

It has been decided that top star SE7EN will take the male lead role in the series "Palace 2". An authorized personnel from the production outfit Group Eight relayed this decision through a phone call with Joynews24 on the morning of October 16.

The authorized personnel even stated that SE7EN is already a great dancer and they anticipate that he will perform well as an actor.

"Palace 2" is about a common man who did not know that he comes from a Royal family.

SE7EN will release his 4th album at the end of the month. Once the drama starts shooting, it is estimated that SE7EN will only be able to perform in music programs during weekends.

---

If he films during the week, he will only be participating in gasoo (singer) activities on the weekends

He will be a delivery boy working for a chinese restaurant and doesnt know he has royal blood and the story is about him entering the palace. --- cecilia @ Se7enth Heaven

*jumps around in anticipation*

pinkfireworks THANK YOU!!

I'm SO EXCITED!!!!!!! :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited:

i can't wait for Goong 2 to come out!!!!!

i reckon that's because the original 4 actors aren't gonna continue in Goong 2 and they need someone really famous to make Goong 2 appealing.

GOOD MOVE I SAY! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm just too excited for words!! WooKie aja!!

[sweep]

OMG! se7en will act for sure!? I hope he's good at it. When the first goong aired, Yul looked like Se7en. hehe

I believe a lot of people might watch Goong2 because of se7en and I'm one of them! I hope too see great results from Se7en.

I can't believe somehow he is following the footsteps of Rain. Over-all performer, international stardom(debut in america). I wish Se7en the best as well.


I can't wait for his fourth album!

[jessica]

OMG! se7en will act for sure!? I hope he's good at it. When the first goong aired, Yul looked like Se7en. hehe

lol. yes, i thought so too. KJH won't be coming back? =( they could've been long lost brothers :tongue:

i didn't plan to watch Goong 2 because part 1 didn't appeal to me, but now that Wookie's going to star as the male lead, i'll give it another chance ^^;

[panda_shine]

I haven't watched Goong 1 before too.. but now I kind of want to watch Goong 1 just so I know what's going on when I watch Goong 2 with Se7en :sweat: I am curious to what how his acting skills will be like too! :excited:

When will Goong 2 start to air ..or start filming?

I just realized that Se7en and other YG members were at MTV TRL in NY! But didn't manage to watch good clips on it.. since all the ones from Youtube had bad sound/image quality >< Does anyone know when it'll air on TV?

[Starylosophy]

Geez, I saw some new pics at Soompi and he looks adorable! :rolleyes:

[xanimeotakux]

hm, if se7en succeeds with the acting. there'll be even more competition with rain.. not sure if that's good, since i really support both of them, lol

omg the 3rd pic looked like he had blue eyes. O_O

[jessica]

karen: May already started a Goong 2 thread so head over there for all the info :D i won't be watching it until ALL the subs are released. YG family was at MTV TRL?!! :excited: i'm sure it'll air in Korea's MTV channel later on ^^

starylosophy: nice pictures.

[fajitapita]

aahhh!! are you serious?! haha, yah se7en looks like yul, but se7en's definitely cuter! when i heard the same actors weren't gonna be used for goong 2 i wasn't gonna watch, but now i am definitely down for it ^^

aww.. it's been forever since i've caught up w/ se7en stuff.. *Runs off to watch random clips of him*

[jessica]

[pinkfireworks]

[panda_shine] Goong2 is scheduled to start airing next January. =]

I haven't seen Goong 1 either, it's really not my type of drama series. But I will attempt to watch it now, even if it doesn't have any significance to Goong 2. .__.

“Lee Hoo” this role attracted me
[Originally posted October 17, 2006. Chinese]

Singer Se7en will take on the challenge of starring in the series “Palace 2”.

Se7en, who will be having his very first acting role, said it would be a great challenge to act the role of “Lee Hoo”, and therefore decided on acting the part. (@_@ ?!)

On the 17th, YG company’s affiliated brokerage company officials (?) said in an interview, “Se7en has many understandings (like views and ways of thinking) on the “Palace 2”, especially the character “Lee Hoo”, who is a person without the ‘prince disease’ (I think it means that he isn’t rich etc), but is someone who has faced many hardships in the beginning to be able to enter the palace. This role of incredible humanity and character is what attracted him and caused him to make the decision to act.

Throughout the series, he is the “Lee Hoo” working in a Chinese restaurant and has no idea that he is a descendant from royalty and then becomes the “Lee Hoo” who enters the palace gates.

Because of YG Family’s world tour in the US, Se7en will return to South Korea on the 28th. Filming is expected to start on December the 1st.

“Palace 2” will be fimed in Kyonggi Huacheng (?) and is expected to finish filming early next year and then broadcasted.

The Main Characters of Goong 2

Se7en aka Choi Dong-Wook plays the character: Lee Hoo
Huh Lee-Jae plays the character: Yang Soon-Ae
Kang Doo plays the character: Lee Joon
Park Shin Hye plays the character: Shin Sae-Ryung


Lee Hoo (Se7en): His blood flows in a Royal family, but Lee Hoo doesn't know it. Not knowing that he's a prince, he works at a Chinese Restaurant as a delivery boy...delivering food in the palace. He looks at everything in a positive aspect and is an optimist by nature. Though he's in poverty (poor), he lives every day freely...but one day, something happens and it's the start of his life as a royal.

Yang Soon-Ae (Huh Lee-Jae): Everyone in the neighborhood knows Soon-Ae as an impracticable girl. She thinks preciously of her fraternal twin. But one day, she finds out that Lee Hoo is the boy that she grew up with as a child, and they start their life's together in the palace.

Kang Doo (Lee Joon): To become a prince, he recieved training as a mastery elite. He's a great candidate. Lee Hoo's appearance makes Lee Joon get farther away from becoming a prince. He's a perfectionist.

Park Shin-Hye (Shin Sae-Ryung): Honor and power, Sae-Ryung grew up in a wealthy family. She has never lost first place/spot at school (meaning she's very smart)...she has skills and the looks of becoming prince's wife. She always had the ambition of becoming a royal princess. However, the prince that she has always imagined of is completely different when she see's Lee Hoo's sudden appearance. A change comes to her way.

All other news articles on Se7en's role in Goong 2, US Debut and Se7en&YG Family in America available @ Se7enth Heaven (http://s12.invisionfree.com/Se7enth_Heaven/). Too many to post all here. ^^;;

[xanimeotakux]

i was watching the 'azn channel' on tv last night, and they had this super short commercial about the YG family, and showed se7en, along with other artists, and said something about tickets. ~_~ it was all in korean, i had no idea what they were saying. >.<

yes, i saw a commerical of goong 2 also. it's prince hours this time, while goong 1 was princess hours. interesting.

and the lead actress and supporting are both super young! one was born in 87' and the other in 90' :glug:

jessica: lol, what was the inevitable question?

i don't get it. everytime i watch trl, they always say it's 'live.' but it's not actually live XD does anyone have any idea when it'll air on trl?

[ice_sylph]

pinkfireworks - you are da best!! it took me half an hour to recollect myself from a puddle on the floor. THANKS for the pics! i'm waiting for the TRL clip on youtube but the version isn't all the good and i can hear more fans screaming than him singing because its of fancam quality.

the 1st vid's audio is better though. both vids are of the same performance but from different angles. argh can't wait till the official one is out! i wanna see him perform with Jinusean and Big Bang :excited:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=SupaTKC06EA
^ apparently they were only allowed to video "Come Back To Me Part 1"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=HXNM2lv5myY
^never knew his back was so sexy LOL! but the audio is quite bad, can hardly make out what he's singing

also, check out http://www.mtvk.com! and oh, do vote for se7en's song to be played on the next MTV-K. i'm quite surprise they still have Wheesung's With Me on the charts which was released in 2003 hehe it gives a warm feeling (silly, i know urgh and i'm not even korean lol) that korean music is making its voice heard in US!

[sweep]

pinkfireworks, thank you for the information! those are A LOT! Se7en looks cute in the pics!

jeannie, wow, you have azn!? I have azn but only shown in the afternoon in the bravo channel.. I get to watch Emperor of the Sea. It just started last Thursday. 51 episodes! Just like Jewel in the Palace, I think. But I can't watch it now since I'll be busy.

I guess the commercial that was shown was about the YG family concert they had in the Madison Square Garden last Oct. 19... well, that's what I think, from your description.

[xanimeotakux]

sweep: i'm not sure. they wouldn't show that commerical one day after the concert, would they? XD yeah, i have azn channel. it's not on demand, and well, the movies/dramas seem boring. i'm more into that..melodrama, romantic drama kind of ones. :wink2:

ice_sylph: does mtv-k air in korea? O_O if it does, why is the whole website in english? :wacko:

yep, i saw the clips on youtube. the quality is horrible. i gave up halfway through XD i can't wait until it actually airs on tv! ^_^

i checked the mtv.com schedule, and this week, they aren't saying anything about special guests like se7en or the YG family =(

[pinkfireworks]

[xanimeotakux] I know! Se7en is still pretty young, being just about to turn 22, but the other female actresses are even younger! Does anyone know how old that other guy is (he freaks me out @_@)?

And I think MTV K is like MTV China (I used to have that *sad*), which is broadcasted on cable/satellite all around the world. It's not really a Korean channel - more like a global channel. Like Arirang. ^^

OMG OMG OMG YG's concert in Madison Square sounds sooo good! *dies*

Se7en to officially debut in the USA with Usher's producers

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/917/3qw3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Se7en has signed a contract with the producers of Usher to debut in the US. The Korean singer, who is at the moment with YG Family for their 10th Anniversary concert in the US, announced his intention to promote his music in the US during a press conference last October 16 (local time) at the Imagine Asia TV Theater in New York. The press conference attracted the interest of more than 20 networks like NHK TV, IATV, MKTV, FujiTV, New York 1, Daily Sun, among others. With the way things are going, Se7en will be the first Korean singer to officially debut in the US.

From another article:

Rich Harrison, who has worked with Janet Jackson, will be Se7en's producer.

[ice_sylph]

xanimeotakux - i think its like a US filmed channel but they focus on korean songs? yeah like pinkfireworks said, somewhat like MTV China but i'm not sure if MTV K is aired in korean itself. yeah the fancam quality is really bad, can hardly hear him sing.

pinkfireworks- LOL the other guy "freaks you out"? you're funny! lol thanks for all the various bits of news. hehe i'm really excited over Goong II! *fans self* woah he's really hot in the links you provided. hope he makes it big in US! it would be awesome for him to be the first Korean singer to debut in US!

[jessica]

omg, wah joh! i feel sentimental whenever i hear him perform that song.

i think i see a Bi fan in that crowd :D if i known earlier that he'll be there, i'd go too :oops: thanks for all the updates Stacey ^^

jeannie: what else but the comparison question of him and Bi? --;

[xanimeotakux]

pinkfireworks: i've never heard of the other actor. and there's no little biography of him on wikipedia. T_T but he doesn't look very old himself. :glug:

and wow. even though rain has performed on trl first, se7en is making his debut quicker, eh? ahhh, who knows >.< rain's movie is debuting in the U.S., while se7en is debuting as an artist..:wacko:

does mtv-k actually air in the U.S.? becuase i haven't heard of it until yesterday. o.O i only get mtv...

ice_sylph: yeah, you hear more muffled sounds than se7en's singing. i could hear suchin pak's voice at the beginning though o.O

jessica: ah jeez. THAT question. ~_~ i wonder how he replied..

[ice_sylph]

xanimeotakux - hmm i'm not sure if it airs in US but it was filmed in US with US fans, wasn't it? so i would assume that it should be shown in US. are you from US? :D

hmph i hate that Se7en vs Bi questions. :worry: *sigh* i guess se7en can't avoid that question because Bi did debut in TRL before him. hm i wonder what he said. probably that Se7en respects him etc but they are two different entertainers. lol

[pinkfireworks]

Maybe MTV K is available in US on cable and stuff? Not sure.

[Jessica] Ahhh! Wajo is beautiful!!! *hearts* 4th jib title track is supposedly going to "take us back to the days of Wajo". ^^;; Can't wait. <3 OMG! And it's with Teddy~ *squeals*

[xanimeotakux] The other guy freaks me out because he looks scary ^^;; and OLD! Why does he look so old?! @_@

THAT question. ~_~ i wonder how he replied..

Yeah, he was like, they're always being compared, but he hopes they won't be. They're different. Blah blah blah. The usual.

BTW, anyone want the clips of the press conference in US?



OH MY GAWWWWD! Se7en's 4th jib is being pushed back slightly - release on November 1st!!! THE ALBUM'S TITLE IS>>>
