Kim Hyun Joong's time in the army is almost up as he will be discharged in about two weeks from now. Ahead of his return to civilian life, he wrote a heartfelt letter to his fans and KeyEast Entertainment uploaded a video on YouTube too.

While his return may not be completely pleasant due to the controversies that he is facing now, Kim Hyun Joong remains positive because he is getting a lot of support not just from fans but from friends and colleagues as well. His army service ends in Feb. 11 and he is expected to continue his legal battle with ex-girlfriend who was publicly known as Ms. Choi.

The singer may also be preparing to restart his career as suggested by the video released by his agency. The clip is dedicated to his loyal fans called the HENECIA. The video showed Kim Hyun Joong strolling by the beach with his dog and he asked his fans if they have been well.

As for his letter that was originally posted on his official homepage, he thanked his fans and expressed some realization he had during the time he was away. As shared by Allkpop, part of the letter he wrote reads: "It's been a long time. How are you? I had been contemplating on what to say the last few days." He added, "Enduring much pain and hardship, I have come to realize that I am such a weak person."

The letter and video were met with good response as fans flood them with comments saying how much they missed Kim Hyun Joong. Henecians also sent messages of encouragement and promises to continue supporting him.

I love every single person who reblogged this

[achromatiq]

I don’t think people realize how much of an impact this kind of support can have, I don’t think everyone knows what these little things can mean to us.

It may just be me, I don’t know. But every single time I see this on my dash or on someone’s blog or anywhere else, I kind of just breathe a sigh of relief. That’s one more person who cares. That’s one more person who doesn’t hate me.

Because it means so much, especially when all the media is spewing out is that I’m a terrible person and no one wants people like me near them. It means so much because I’m tired of people who won’t sit next to me in class, or who choose to join the longer line at the grocery store because they don’t want to be beside me and my family. It means so much when I have to lift my head any time someone says the words Islam or Muslim because I’m scared that they’ll say something that’ll hurt, when I have to pay attention to the news because who knows what so and so is saying now, who knows which of my people are being attacked now, who knows what’s going to happen to me now.

It means so much because I’ve been given the idea that the world is against me. And a huge part of it may be, but at least I’ve been reminded that some of it, just a small group of people, acknowledges that I’m a person too. That people like me are just that, people.

Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know. But now you do, so thank you for believing that I’m human when so many people don’t.

SM Entertainment Apologizes For Aggressive Interaction Between Red Velvet Manager And Fans

SM Entertainment has issued an official apology for the rough and disrespectful behavior shown by the manager for their girl group Red Velvet, reports Koreaboo.

"It is true that the man in the video is Red Velvet's manager. We are sorry to all the fans. We will strive to make sure this does not happen again," said SM Entertainment, according to Koreaboo.

A fan video caught the Red Velvet manager talking harshly to fans that had been waiting for the group after theirMusic Bank appearance on May 8. While the girl group was recorded to have been warm and acknowledging to the fans, the manager swore at them as if they were doing something wrong.

The video, which had been uploaded on YouTube and has since gained a lot of views, also became a lightning rod of negative comments not only for the manager but also for other managers employed by SM Entertainment.

This led the agency to release the statement which tries to appease irate fans who thought the manager had gone too far and believed SM Entertainment was condoning his actions.

"Honestly speaking, the manager went overboard. The fans were just saying a few sentences like 'Go back safely.' Swearing to them was too much. Good thing there was feedback on it!" said an online commenter, which gained more than 8,000 likes.

Girls' Generation's Sunny And Singer-Actor Seo In Guk Deny Relationship Rumors

Sorry, Sunny and Seo In Guk shippers - the Girls' Generation member and popular actor are not in a relationship, with agencies for both sides denying the dating rumors.

While it is true that Sunny and Seo In Guk are indeed friendly with each other, their agencies dismissed reports linking them as a romantic pair, reports KPopHerald.

"It's true that Seo In Guk and Sunny are close friends, but they are definitely not a romantic couple," a spokesperson for Seo In Guk's agency, Jellyfish Entertainment, reportedly said on May 15.

"It's probable that the dating rumors started because they are very close," the spokesperson added.

Sunny's agency, SM Entertainment, also denied the dating rumors.

Sunny herself laughed off the rumors as being "absurd" on her radio show.

"Don't hate me. I noticed I had a dating scandal today. It was so absurd," she said on the May 15 airing of Sunny's FM Date, reports Allkpop.

The Sunny-Seo In Guk dating rumors started after South Korean media reports surfaced suggesting they had a special affection with each other based on their actions.

The rumors alleged that Sunny and Seo In Guk met after being introduced to each other by Yuri and Lee Jong Suk. They also claim that Sunny spent time helping Seo in Guk recover from his surgery last month.

G-Dragon Explains The Meaning Behind Big Bang Single 'Loser': 'People Who Stand Under The Spotlight Are Just Human Beings'

Though some fans may doubt it, Big Bang rapper G-Dragon wants you to know that he and the rest of his band are not supernatural beings, but actually just people.

In a full-band interview published Thursday on the website for Big Bang's label, YG Entertainment, G-Dragon explained that the song "Loser" released on May 1 along with the song "Bae Bae," was his attempt to humanize the group.

"What we wanted to say was that, not only Big Bang, but also all the famous people who stand under the spotlight in front of the public are just human beings," said G-Dragon, who wrote the lyrics of "Loser" along with bandmate T.O.P and producer Teddy.

"All these people are the same humans who get their feelings hurt sometimes and smile sometimes. It's just that those people have a different job. We ourselves have given up some things in our lives, because of our job as [pop stars]. I think the lyrics were written based on our own experiences."

However, the notoriously elusive rapper admitted that there are other possible interpretations for the "Loser" lyrics.

"It could also be heard as a light love song," G-Dragon said.

"However, we wanted to offer a [more universal] theme with this song, so we drew a bigger picture. Somebody may not have a friend and somebody may not have love, you know? Everyone lives in a different situation. Depending on how you accept it, this song could be your story."

Later in the interview, T.O.P seemed to echo G-Dragon's expression of the difficulties of being an international pop idol for so many years.

"To be honest, each of the members does not have that many friends," he said with a smirk, implying he could be exaggerating somewhat for comedic effect.

"The members are the only friends with whom we can share our lives and openly talk about personal things."

But for Big Bang singer Taeyang, who wrote the music to "Loser" along with Teddy, the group's best work is still yet to come.

"When someone asks which song I like the most among Big Bang songs, I honestly hope it is the next song." Taeyang said.

"We keep creating songs because we are not 100 percent content with our songs. Now is the best time for us. The teamwork is good and we are at the optimal age. It is hard to say that now is the peak of our career, but I think we are in a good condition to reach the peak."

Though last week, at a press conference at the Conrad Hotel on Seoul's Yeoui Island, Taeyang admitted that G-Dragon had previously cautioned him about perceiving the group as being at their peak, according to a report on Monday in the Korean entertainment media outlet eNEWS.

"I recently talked to G-Dragon about this question [of whether we've reached the height of our fame]," Taeyang said.

"We wondered if there was a reason to decide when our peak is. If we wanted to be like Michael Jackson, we wouldn′t be able to feel the satisfaction in our situation now. We don′t want to do that."

Big Bang's "Made" album, the group's first full-length in Korea in seven years, is slated for release on Sept. 1.

K-Pop Group 8Eight To Disband, Big Hit Entertainment Issues Statement About Future Plans

Co-ed vocal group 8Eight has announced its disbandment, joining other Korean acts that disbanded in 2014.

The three members of 8Eight will all leave Big Hit Entertainment, but only two members are leaving the agency immediately. According to Classicalite, the contracts of rapper Baek Chan and female vocalist Joo Hee with Big Hit Entertainment expired in 2014 and, on December 21, 8Eight announced that the two would not renew their contracts with the agency.

Male vocalist Lee Hyun's contract expiration date is later than the other members of 8Eight due to spending two years in the military; he will continue under Big Hit Entertainment. Lee Hyun will continue his career as a soloist and as part of the duet Homme alongside 2AM's Changmin. He too will then look for a new agency.

Three of 2AM's members also recently left Big Hit Entertainment and signed formally with 2PM following a partnership between the two companies; Changmin resigned with Big Hit Entertainment due to his solo career and his part in Homme.

Despite formally disbanding, Big Hit Entertainment revealed that the three members of 8Eight might still reunite in the future.

"We no longer have anymore promotions planned for 8Eight. Because their contracts have expired," explained a representative of Big Hit entertainment. "[8Eight's] Activities have been suspended for now. The three members' friendship will still continue, so if the opportunity arises, they will reunite."

During the group's seven year career, 8Eight became one of South Korea's most popular vocal groups and their songs can frequently be heard in coffee shops.

8Eight's latest single, "Let's Not Go Crazy," was released on September 19 and will be the group's last song together under Big Hit Entertainment.

'Rolling Stone' names HyunA's 'Red' as one of the best MVs of 2014

Prominent American magazine ’Rolling Stone’ has named HyunA's "Red" to be one of the best MVs of 2014!

Ranked among a list that includes Taylor Swift and Beyonce, HyunA makes an appearance as the fifth best MV of 2014. The description reads:

“Hyuna's K-pop hit is a schizophrenic mess, switching from trap and hip-hop to bubbly pop and slinky Middle Eastern electro. The video does its best to keep up: While rapid scene shifts follow the song's structure, wild images bring its lyrics to life. “A monkey's butt is red,” goes the chorus, and on screen, a monkey with a bright red butt appears. “My lipstick is red…” and just like that, Hyuna's wiggling on a pair of giant lips. The part where Hyuna's about to cry? That's when she's singing about being lonely. Some major Korean broadcasters thought the original video was too hot for TV, which means it might just right for an American crossover.”

You can view the full list here.  Congratulations to HyunA for capturing international attention with an MV chock full of eye candy! To see what got her on the ‘Rolling Stone’, check out her “schizophrenic” MV above!

Former EXO Members Kris & Luhan To Meet With SM Entertainment For Mediation On The Same Day

Two former EXO members will meet with SM Entertainment on the same day.

Kris and Luhan, former members of EXO and EXO's Mandarin-speaking subgroup EXO-M, will each meet with SM Entertainment on January 16. The two will meet with SM Entertainment's legal representatives to try and settle their legal differences outside of court. Although the mediation meetings will take place on the same day, both Luhan and Kris will reportedly meet with SM Entertainment separately.

The two Chinese celebrities will meet with SM Entertainment's representatives at the Seoul Central District Court on January 16,reports the K-Pop Herald.

Kris filed a lawsuit seeking to nullify his contract with SM Entertainment in May, while Luhan filed a similar lawsuit in October. Both court cases were sent to the Seoul Central District Court, but it was decided that they should be sent to arbitration panels in attempts to reach agreements between SM Entertainment and the other parties before heading to court in formal lawsuits.

This will be Kris's third mediation meeting with SM Entertainmant, and Luhan's second following a meeting on December 26. SM Entertainment's meeting with Kris will be held at 10:20 a.m, followed by a meeting with Luhan at 11 a.m.

Each side will bring legal representation, and judges will be present.

Both Kris and Luhan brought cases against SM Entertainment to cancel their exclusivity contracts based on a variety of reasons. Kris's suit against SM Entertainment was brought due to strict and strenuous schedules, exploitation of human rights and basic living conditions, as well as unfair distribution of profit. Luhan's suit claims that SM Entertainment unfairly favored EXO-K (the Korean subgroup) more than EXO-M.

Prior to leaving EXO, Kris was a rapper and leader of EXO-M, while Luhan's vocal skills and physical appearance made him a fan favorite.

SM Entertainment has reportedly claimed that it is concerned that outside influences is trying to attract EXO-M's lucrative members away from the company.

EXO debuted in 2011, and has become one of the most popular K-pop groups in the world.
