Top 1o kpop Maknaes

Known for her sweet and innocent looks, KARA‘s Jiyoung has lots of admirers including 2AM’s Changmin. She gets bonus points for turning him down on national television!


What is 2AM‘s Jinwoon made of?  Muscles, eye smiles and thoughts about girl groups. His wide network of friends includes the 91-line of idols (SHINee’s Key and KARA’s Nicole) which means his name is always popping up in variety shows.


2NE1‘s dance machine Minzy could not be cuter if she tried. Sexy when she needs to be and adorable the rest of the time, she’s beloved by her unnies. Bom is actually 10 years older than her! Talk about being the youngest member.


Girls’ Generation‘s Seohyun continues the trend of maknaes who seem like the oldest member in a group. Statuesque and mature beyond her years, she’s even “married!” Her doe-eyes and unintentionally hilarious character (she really really likes sweet potatoes) makes her one of the most endearing maknaes.


U-Kiss‘ Dongho has a combination of features proven to capture noona’s hearts — a killer eye-smile and chipmunk cheeks. He really made his mark as the easygoing, could-care-less character on Idol Maknae Rebellion.


Chansung is the oldest maknae of them all…in terms of looks. Most people go, huh? He’s not the hyung? The banana-obsessed “European model” loves 2PM and 2PM loves him back.


Kyuhyun can be categorized as a Changmin type of maknae. Evil to his hyungs but combine his personality with his velvety voice and dry humor and you get an exceptional member of Super Junior. F**k Yea Kyuhyun Facts sums him up perfectly — “Kyuhyun is not a hyungwhore. Hyungs are Kyuwhores. Kyuhyun doesn’t mispronounce Mandarin Chinese. It’s Mandarin that’s wrong.” Exactly.


Big Bang‘s Seungri is the out-spoken, panda-eyed member who shocks the nation everytime he tells one of his stories. Big Bang practically has anxiety attacks when he appears on a variety show but they’re incredibly open with their affection for him. Seungri, in return, does everything he can for his hyungs behind-the-scenes.


TVXQ‘s Changmin arguably started the whole rebellious maknae movement. He’s snarky, tortures his hyungs and is more sexy than full of aegyo. At 6’1, tall, dark and handsome Changmin once tried to blame Junsu for stealing his cute maknae role. Yeah, ok.


When entertainment companies look through their trainees for a potential maknae to add to a group, they refer to a book called Why SHINee‘s Taemin is the perfect maknae. He’s had fluffy hair since his debut (it’s gone through all sorts of candy colors), huge eyes that say “love me”, and he’s still in school making him noona bait.

Yongseo couple travels to Busan to meet Yonghwa’s mother

On this week’s episode of MBC’s “We Got Married,” the Yongseo couple of CNBLUE’s Yonghwa and SNSD’s Seohyun traveled via train to the Korean coastal port city of Busan. The couple traveled there to visit Yonghwa’s mother.
On the way there, Seohyun practiced Busan’s satoori and Seohyun seemed a bit nervous on the prospects of visiting her mother in law. Yonghwa also gave Seohyun a present of red glasses, he stated that she can look similar to him if she wore the glasses. Seohyun was thankful for the gift but retorted that she doesn’t really look good wearing glasses. Yonghwa also mentioned that a few years ago he saw Seohyun wearing a similar red frame glasses while she was reading a book and he hasn’t forgotten about that look. When Seohyun finally wore the glasses, Yonghwa stated that she looked good. Seohyun requested a mirror and Yonghwa replied that she could use his eyes as mirrors.
When the couple finally met Yonghwa’s mother, many fans were surprised to see that Yonghwa’s mother was so beautiful and elegant. Yonghwa’s mother was quite happy to see Seohyun and held her hand while walking to the car before they head to a restaurant. Yonghwa’s mother also stated that Seohyun needed some work on her satoori.

Yonghwa & Seohyun leaving “We Got Married”?

Certain representatives from the industry have reported that the ‘YongSeo Couple’ of MBC’s “We Got Married” will be concluding their virtual marriage by the end of this month.
A representative of broadcasting revealed, “The Jung Yonghwa and Seohyun couple are currently in discussions to leave the show. They’ve already been on the show for over a year, and it seems their busy schedules are getting in the way.”
Another revealed, “There hasn’t been anything confirmed yet, but it seems they will be recording their final episode for the show within this month. Producers are currently looking for another couple to take their place.”
Rumors about their departure already began circulating shortly after the couple’s wedding photoshoot episode; the program has a tendency of taking couples off the show once they reach a level where they are able to initiate skinship naturally.
Seohyun and Yonghwa’s respective groups also have a busy schedule ahead of them in the coming months, which makes the rumor even more plausible. SNSD will begin focusing on their Japanese promotions in April with “Mr. Taxi” and “Run Devil Run“, and they also have a scheduled concert tour in four different cities. Meanwhile, Yonghwa will be tackling his leading role for MBC’s new drama “Festival“, and is in the midst of juggling promotions for CNBLUE’s comeback.
Both of their agencies, however, commented, “There’s nothing decided yet.”

Let the speculation for the next “We Got Married” couple begin!

Now that the “We Got Married” PDs have officially announced the exit of the Yongseo couple, fans have been speculating to no end about who the replacement couple might be.
Netizens have been talking about pairings like B2ST’s Kikwang and miss A’s Min, who have both appeared on the variety show, “100 Points out of 100“.   Some netizens support ZE:A’s Kwang Hee and After School’s Lizzy, while others shared that “It would be interesting if actual couples, like Se7en and Park Han Byul were casted, like the Hwang Jung Eum and Kim Yong Joon couple.”
Who do you think is going to be the next WGM couple?

Jung Yonghwa and Park Shinhye to Pair Up For MBC’s Drama ‘Festival’

Also, she will go against Jung Yonghwa’s “cold city man” and “guitar genius” character,and will add even more excitement by unfolding a cute back-and-forth relationship with a touch of sweet romance.

Jung Yonghwa resigns as “Inkigayo” MC

For eight months, CNBLUE’s Jung Yonghwa has been MCing alongside 2AM’s Jo Kwon and f(x)’s Sulli for SBS’s “Inkigayo“. The star has decided that it’s time for him to retire his ‘Inkigayo’ mic, and he plans to bid farewell to viewers during this week’s episode.
According to an SBS representative, Jung Yonghwa will be hosting his last episode on March 13th. He decided to end his ‘Inkigayo’ career because his schedule was becoming too packed; Yonghwa will not only be preparing for CNBLUE’s upcoming promotions, but he will also be filming for MBC’s new drama, “Festival“. He also has to film for MBC’s “We Got Married.”
The sunny MC will be replaced by not just one, but two MCs. “Inkigayo” will be introducing IU and B2ST’s Kikwang to MC alongside Jo Kwon and Sulli for future episodes.
