Chae Dong Ha (Forever SG Wannabe member)
I was quite upset when Chae Dong Ha has decided to leave SG Wannabe to pursue his individual career. I read in some forums which people comments on his decision to leave SG Wannabe. Some show their continuous support but some have said him as a selfish person who only thinks of himself. Whatever it is, I would always support him even though he is not part of SG Wannabe anymore.
On 24 Apr, SG Wannabe has released their 5th album titled "My Friend". In this album, you will get to hear the new member, Lee Suk Hoon voice. His voices is good and stands out only when he sings alone. As in some of the tracks when the threesome sings together, I can only hear Lee Seok Hoon voice and a bit of Jin Ho. Yong Jun voice was completely lost amidst the other vocals. There is somehow a lack of harmony in between them and this will need time to reach the standard as they used to be.
I still prefer the original SG Wannabe as all the members’ voices blended in spectacularly. SG wannabe is well-known of their powerful heart-moving vocals. In their previous songs, Dongha, Yong Jun and Jin Ho have displayed emotion in their singing styles which we can hear and feel it. Now, with the new member, we are losing that feel. On April 27, in SBS Inkigayo, Chae Dong Ha cried during SG Wanna Be’s performance of its new song “Bogoshipda” which marked his last stage with the group’s 2 other members, Kim Yong Jun and Kim Jin Ho. So Sad...
After listening to SG wannabe's 5th album, I am a bit disappointed as I feel Dongha can do so much better than Lee Seok Hoon. This album is only fairly-good compared to their previous works. "Bogoshipda", the 4th track of this album was the last works Dongha participated as part of SG Wannabe. This song was remade with Seok Hoon, and Dong Ha only gets to sing one of the last lines in the song. I listen to the original version and the remake version, I am sad that the original version sounds absolutely beautiful.
Although, the brother figure Chae Dong Ha has left the group, I believe his friendship with Yong Jun and Jin Ho will stay on forever :)
Lastly, I wish Dongha all the best in his future endeavours and will continue to support him. As for SG Wannabe, I will continue to support them especially Yong Jun and Jin Ho :)

New Singers to Watch for in 2008
Recently, there are many prominent new singers debuted in Korean music industry. These new singers will be the centre of attraction this year after Wonder Girls, Big Bang and Girls' Generation who have dominated the pop charts last year.
Let me specifically tell you the background of these new singers.

Record Label: JYP Entertainment

Through a SBS talent show in 2006, Joo was discovered by Park Jin Young, the manager of JYP Entertainment. After three-years of training, this 16-year-old singer debuted with her first single album "Young Woman" on Jan, 18. Her title song, Namja Ddehmooneh ("Because of a Man") was written and composed by Park Jin Young which topped the fourth place in 2 weeks.
However, Joo was soon targeted by the so-called “anti-fans,” who blasted her not so exemplary past showing her playing pool, wearing skimpy clothes, and even drinking and smoking with her friends during her middle school years. Apparently, her looks changed drastically from her present, strongly suggesting that she had plastic surgery.
Joo’s management company immediately went into damage control, explaining that she was too young and curious to know any better at that age and she has never touched alcohol or cigarettes once she started training with the JYP Entertainment. Because of these pictures, Netizens are now torn between supporting and criticizing the new singer.

Artist of The Month - Kim Jong Wook
The artist for the month of May 2008 is Kim Jong Wook. Who is he?
He's a new singer whose clear and expressive singing left a great impression to me while watching his live performances at the SBS Inkigayo (a Korean music showcase). He's under
Doremi Media Co. Ltd, a music company who has popular artists like Park Hyo Shin and Park Hwayobi.
His debut album "For A Long Time" was released on 28 Feb 2008 and the cover song Gananhan saram ("A Poor Person") topped the Korean pop charts without doing any album promotion.
His soft and touching ballad "Poor Love" have rose to the No. 3 spot on the music charts, while the principal track for this album "Na Ppeun Namja" have shown great success as well.
Talented musicians from different countries was brought together for 3 years to make this album. Thus, you can imagine the quality of this album. With 12 new songs, Kim Jong Wook Vol. 1 marks a great beginning for the young artiste.
Now unveiling his identity, Kim wants fans to know that beneath this innocent, sweet facade lies four years of struggle due to his parents' opposition to his singing career and numerous problem involving his current management company. For a long time, top-rated producer Cho Young Soo collaborates with other talents like Min Myeong Ki and Kim Do Hoon, leaning more towards natural, acoustic sounds over thick instrumental sessions.
