Rain rocks it at Las Vegas!

Rain definitely gave it his all at his Las Vegas concert and I'm saying this just by looking at the pictures. On Christmas Eve, Rain blew away his fans at the Caesar Palace Coliseum in Vegas. Three years ago, he performed there and after success with Ninja Assassin, he returned.

Of course the fans went ballistic when Rain ripped his shirt off. I have to say, I can't blame them. Look at those chocolate abs!

 

The venue was packed and the concert itself exceeded its expectations. Though it is originally designed as an opera theater and has built-in seats, the fans ran towards Rain as soon as he appeared on stage. The security had to run with the fans to block them!

The boys came out in black suits and white gloves dancing to Michael Jackson's hit music. Eunhyuk and Taemin had their own little showdown and I was impressed by Taemin, he performed the Moonwalk flawlessly. 2AM's Jo Kwon being the diva that he is, wanted some of the spotlight and jumped in near the end doing some funky dances as well. Thanks to sieny for the tip.

Kim Bum’s new movie is rated R

Kim Bum's new movie, Flight, has been claimed as a movie for an audience ages 19 and older. In America, it would be considered a rated R film.

The movie's production company said, "The rating system has decided children and teenagers can not see this movie. Because of this, all the fan girls of Kim Bum can not see the movie and they are very angry at us. They expected it to be a 15+ audience movie. We're very sorry because they've been waiting for this movie."

Se7en celebrates his sweetheart’s birthday

Many are already aware that Se7en and actress Park Han Byul are now officially a couple after a long period of hiding the fact under the veils for 7 long years.

I guess they are now ready for public affections, as Se7en posted a picture of him celebrating Han Byul's birthday on the 17th on his CyWorld minihompy.

The picture was grouped under the folder called 7star, a cute combination of Se7en + Byul (meaning star in Korean). I am pretty sure the folder will be filled with lovely pictures soon. He wrote the caption, "A cut from Byulee's studio~! happy b'day ^^ <3"

2PM Boycott Continues In Thailand

 

After 2PM's Jaebeom's departure from the group, 2PM's fans, Hottests, have declared they will be boycotting 2PM until Jaebeom is back and the fans have stayed true to their word.

Through a travel agency in Thailand, an event was to be held for a total of 100 fans to sign up and get a chance to go on a 5 day trip to Bangkok with 2PM's Nichkhun. But as the Hottests have proclaimed that ""We all reject a 2PM without Jaebeom", one by one the Hottests have been canceling their opportunity to meet the star and are backing out on the event.

A representative stated, "We had around 90 participants in the event but now we have about 30 left." But it seems this event will still be taking place despite the small number of participants.

The 2PM boycott continues on even until now and many participants are continuing to cancel out on Nichkhun's Thailand event. Stay tuned on allkpop to find out if this event will be held or if all the participating Hottests will back out.

Hottests Boycotting 2PM

 

The controversy surrounding 2PM's leader Park Jaebeom never seems to end. After his MySpace incident, he had resigned from the group and returned home to Seattle on the 8th.

Jaebeom's agency, JYP Entertainment, responded to this incident saying, "We ask that everyone will respect his decision".
Recently, however, Hottests are throwing back arguments to JYPE, saying 'the agency did not do enough to protect their singer (Jaebeom)' and blaming the whole controversy on the agency.

Yesterday, 60 2PM fan clubs worldwide made a joint statement saying, "We will not accept the actions of JYPE. We are angry that JYPE did not fulfill their duty as Jaebeom's agents to make an effort to protect him".

They also stated, "We all reject a 2PM without Jaebeom. 2PM fans to this day have been supporting a group of members including Park Jaebeom. All fan unions have agreed and concluded that we will boycott all events without Jaebeom. Anything to do with 2PM without Jaebeom, we will boycott".

Hottests continued, "We have decided to boycott the Dream Concert on 9th October, and all music released under JYP's name", and concluded, "All these actions will continue until Jaebeom is returned to his rightful position as a leader".

Jaebeom’s Final (?) Performance with 2PM

 

Many have been anticipating the official footage release of the Incheon Korean Wave Festival 2009, which took place last Saturday on the 5th. MBC has finally aired the footage today in place of Music Core.

Sadly, who knew that 2PM's performance of their 2009 hit songs, "Again & Again" and "I Hate You" that day would be their last performance all together... as seven, as one. Ok well, Nichkhun wasn't around that night due to some CF matters in Thailand.

But as things stand, Jaebeom is not with 2PM now. But who knows what will happen in future, we can only hope for the best.

   

This performance will definitely be memorable for all those who have walked with the magnificent seven through their hardships and struggles since the Hot Blood days. Check out their final, bittersweet performance, as the original 2PM, below.

Reminiscing the good old heptagonal days.
