Super Junior's Twitter followers can make them #1 Worldwide!

Recently Super Junior appeared on MBC Chuseok Special "Radio Star Super Show"  and they explained that, "If we calculate it individually, it's... hard to become first but if we combined the total of our followers in Twitter we could be could be No.1 worldwide.

Super Junior said modestly "In the case of the 4th album, it ranked 7th in the worldwide top sales. It's a temporary position and it's the album total, but because we were 7th we were surprised. Album sales reached about 300 000copies, It's probably because those days the music industry is in recession.

G Dragon dating Top Japanese Model

G Dragon dating Top Japanese Model

K-pop idol G-Dragon is reportedly going out with Japanese fashion model Kiko Mizuhara, as headlined in Japanese media .

The 21-year-old star (real name Kwon Ji-yong), a member of the music group Big Bang, is dating Mizuhara, who is now the exclusive model for the Japanese fashion magazine “ViVi,” Sankei Sports said, citing multiple sources.

Mizuhara, born in 1990 to an American father and Korean mother, and raised in Kobe is fluent in Korean, English, and Japanese.

Sankei said G-Dragon, who made a debut in Japan in June last year, is having a “serious relationship” with Mizuhara. “The romance about a Korean music group leader was revealed for the first time,” it reported.

Their relationship began shortly after G-Dragon began his activities in Japan last year, and he is maintaining a “shuttle date” routine between Korea and Japan, juggling his busy schedule.

Mizuhara often visited Big Bang’s dressing room at concert venues, and other group members also have friendly relations with her.

“Mizuhara’s model colleagues also know that the two are dating,” Sankei said.

Meanwhile, YG Entertainment, an agency for G-Dragon, said on Sunday it’s true that G-Dragon and Mizuhara are good friends, but their relationship is not serious romance.

So Ji-sub denies he will marry Han Ji-min

Actor So Ji-sub has denied a rumor that he will marry actress Han Ji-min. During an interview with local news media, he mentioned his relationship with her.  I am sorry for her. She must have suffered more than I because she’s an actress.”

He added “since the marriage rumor, I have and could not get in touch with her.”

“Also, or now, I have no plan to get married. I would consider marriage when I’m around my 40s.”

Asked about his ideal type of woman, he said it is different from time to time, but he likes someone who can make him feel comfortable.

After So Ji-sub and Han Ji-min co-starred in the KBS soap opera “Cain & Abel, rumors started that they would get married in December, even though the two had never admitted to being in a relationship.  Recent pictures showing So and Han wearing the same rings added fuel to the rumor.

So is currently starring as Lee Jang-woo in the MBC soap opera “Road No. 1,” which depicts love and friendship during the Korean War (1950-53).
