IU cut her hair because of B2ST’s Kikwang?

IU shared the story behind cutting her hair, which she has been growing for two years.

IU will appear on the September 20th episode of KBS2′s ‘Happy Together 3‘ and confessed that, “Because of Kikwang, I had to cut my hair, which I have been growing for two years.”

IU said, “I was an MC on a music show with Kikwang.  But Kikwang has such a small head that if we stand next to each other I felt that my head looked too big.  There was a time that I would also take a step back and MC from a little behind Kikwang.”

She continued, “I recently ran into Kikwang again and he had been on a diet so his face got even smaller but I gained weight.  I wanted my hair style to give me a more innocent look so I was growing my front hair but I thought that I would be compared to Kikwang so I cut all my front hair off,” surprising all who gathered.

Hearing this Noh Sa Yeon said, “To make my face look smaller I always cover my forehead with my bangs.  I never show my forehead to anyone,” and brought laughter to the group as she shared his secret.

The two rappers from the group have released a song together as INFINITE H (with the H indicating hip hop) previously, and frequently serve as the main representative dancers of INFINITE, so the decision to officially promote as a sub-unit may not come as too big of a surprise to fans.

It is said that Hoya and Dongwoo are steadily working on their album with the target release period being sometime early next year.

The two have already shown off their chemistry as a sub unit when they performed “Crying” and “You Look Good” as INFINITE H for the first time in front of their fans at the group’s concert, receiving positive feedback and thus increasing anticipation for their future unit activities.

In related news, Hoya recently showed off his acting skills in tvN‘s hit drama ‘Reply 1997‘, which aired its last episode on September 18th.

A drawing of SHINee‘s Taemin is attracting attention.

Recently, a post titled “Taemin that a 5-year-old drew” appeared on an online community board. The post revealed a drawing of who seems to be SHINee’s Taemin made by a 5-year-old child. Although you wouldn’t be able to tell if the drawing was of Taemin just by looking at it, the drawing is still gathering attention due to the fact that a 5-year-old drew it.

After seeing the cute drawing, netizens commented, “Taemin that a 5-year-old drew, so cute,” and “It kind of looks like Taemin, and it kind of doesn’t.”

Hoya talks about his role in ‘Reply 1997′, loyalty to INFINITE, and more

“I honestly didn’t expect much [from the drama]“, said INFINITE‘s Hoya during an interview regarding his debut drama ‘Reply 1997‘. But the drama’s success came as a surprise to everyone. Nor did anyone expect Hoya, the main dancer and rapper for INFINITE to take on his first acting role with such success.

The reason why viewers could sympathize with Junhee‘s unfortunate unrequited love was thanks to Hoya, the actor behind the sweet character. Although it was his first time ever acting, he put his all into his given role.

The rookie actor stated, “When Junhee first confessed to Yunjae that he liked him, Yunjae hits Junhee and shakes it off by saying, “Don’t joke around”. The scene was supposed to end there but I decided to add ‘It’s really you’ as an ad-lib. I thought it would show just how genuine Junhee’s feelings are and make the scene more heartbreaking.”

Having wrapped up the drama, Hoya revealed that his popularity seems to have risen. “The amount of cheering heard during my parts [on stage] has become different. I don’t know if it’s due to the atmosphere, or if it’s because people sympathize with Junhee in the show and send out cheers of encouragement. It’s fun and exciting (laughs)… I think I’ve definitely gained more confidence and now I’m not as uncomfortable around the camera as I used to be before.”

Although he discovered another ability in addition to singing and dancing, Hoya revealed that his first and true priority lies with his members and the group.

The singer himself stated, “INFINITE is number one [to me]. At one point Sunggyu hyung asked me, ‘Is “INFINITE’s Ranking King” more important or “Reply 1997″ more important?’. I replied without hesitation that ‘Ranking King’ was more important. The reason is because it’s a show with INFINITE’s name on the line.”

The singer then gave a smile and added wittily, “But if someone from ‘Reply 1997′ asked me the same question, the answer would probably change right?”, lightening up the atmosphere with his humor.

Meanwhile, the alluring photospread and full interview with Hoya can be found in the October issue of ‘10+Star‘ Magazine.

4. Have no other Gods before me

The first of the 10 commandments given to Moses in Exodus chapter 20 was "Have no other gods before me". The God of the bible is a jealous God and requires those who choose to follow him to have no other gods that they serve before him. In today's age where it is easy to be distracted by technology or encouraged to love worldly glory, this iPhone background is there to encourage you to put God as number one in your life and not anything or anyone else.

The 10th ten commandment is " Do not covet" (Exodus 20:17) and this is the text on this iPhone wallpaper. It is important to keep in mind the 10 commandments as they help us remember how far we fall short of God's standard and encourage us to strive to live in obedience to the Word of God.

9. God made the world

Source

God made the whole of creation and this Christian iPhone wallpaper celebrates the majesty of God with a wonderful photo of the sea and the bible scripture from Psalm 95 verse 5 over layed "The sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land."

10. You are the light of the world

Source

In the book of Matthew chapter 5, Jesus said to his followers "You are the light of the world, a city on a hill that cannot be hidden... So let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and give glory to your father in heaven". This background for your iPhone is simply a reminder that as Christians, we are Christ's representatives and that as we walk with God, guided by the Holy Spirit, our deeds should reflect God's character and as such, non-Christians should see these things and note that God is the one who has enabled and changed us to do them. In everything that we do, God should receive the glory!

Which B2ST member has the smallest head?

B2ST revealed their head size ranking on this weeks episode of MBC‘s ‘All the K-pop‘.

MC Boom entered the studio with a tape measurer to measure the members head sizes. B2ST members caused laughter by pushing each other to go first.

Yoseob, who is known for his face that is smaller than many ladies, recorded 54.4 cm for his head size. He flaunted his head size and gained the title of ‘ultimate small head.’ Meanwhile, Hyunseung seemed worried the whole time because of his voluminous hair style, but ended up in second place with the head size of 55.2 cm. Kikwang unexpectedly recorded the size of 56.8 cm because of his round back and forehead.  A strong candidate for the winner, Doojoon also recorded 56.8 cm.

The studio erupted in laughter when Boom tried to help his high school hoobae, Junhyung, by tightening the tape measurer as much as possible when Junhyung went against Dongwoon for the title of having the ‘biggest head.’

Ultimately the winner of the smallest head was Yoseob with 54.4 cm.

U-KISS will receive a special achievement award in recognition for their contribution to the Hallyu Wave.

On the 19th, the boy group will attend Arirang TV‘s celebration event for their milestone of reaching over 100 Million clients. At the event, U-KISS will be awarded the ‘Special Hallyu Achievement Award‘ from the minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.

Earlier this month U-KISS performed at the Tokyo Budokan in front of an estimated 10,000 fans, and like so have been continuously promoting their music.

A representative of U-KISS stated, “We’re very happy that we received this award which acknowledges us as an idol group that did our part in promoting Korean music. [U-KISS] will work harder not only in Korea, but overseas as well.”

Meanwhile, U-KISS will release their new album ‘Stop Girl‘ on the 20th and plans to actively promote in 10 countries including Thailand, Philippines, The United States, and China.
