SBS returns with another weekly edition of Inkigayo, and it promises to be another fun and exciting show filled with amazing performances from the top singers in Korea.
The Take 7 nominees were PSY (‘Right Now‘), KARA (‘Jumping‘), B2ST (‘Beautiful‘), 2AM (‘You Wouldn’t Answer My Calls‘), S.M. The Ballad (‘Miss You‘), Orange Caramel (‘A~ing♡‘), and Taeyeon and The One (‘Like A Star‘). All performed except for PSY and Taeyeon and The One.
With SNSD maxing out their quota with their three wins last week, we had a new winner today, and it was none other than B2ST who wins their first-ever Inkigayo Mutizen award with ‘Beautiful!
Other performers included KARA, 2AM, S.M. the Ballad, B2ST, Orange Caramel, KCM, Lisa, Brian, Yang Dong Geun, VNT, Bohemian, Seon Duk, and Ha Hyun Gon Factory.
Having released their new music video for “Yayaya” along with their mini-album earlier this week, T-ara has finally made their official comeback on Inkigayo!
Produced by hit maker E-TRIBE, “Yayaya” features an addictive rhythm, complemented by refreshing lyrics. They also performed “Why Are You Being Like This” as well.
Love stories between drama characters are always engaging to watch, but what happens when people try to translate them into the real world?
A new romantic fandom was created on December 4th after an interesting incident occurred during the “Dream High” cast interview with “Entertainment Relay“.
During the interview, it was revealed that miss A’s Suzy plays the love interest of both 2PM’s Taecyeon and Kim Soo Hyun. Attempting to bridge the gap between fiction and reality, the reporter asked Suzy, “Between Taecyeon and Kim Soo Hyun, which one of them is closest to your ideal man?”
Suzy, after much hesitation, chose Kim Soo Hyun, causing Taecyeon to burst out of his seat in a fit of jealousy. Taecyeon sputtered, “Normally people don’t choose, but she really chose!”
Castmate Lee Yoon Ji laughingly added, “This is the first time I saw an actress actually choose. Normally, people say ‘both’ or ‘I like this person for this and that person for that.‘”
Suzy shyly attempted to conclude the segment by stating, “I really had a hard time choosing!”
Fangirls are probably typing away furiously at ‘Taecyeon x Suzy’ fanfictions at this very moment.
[starttext] The hottest trend for Korean netizens lately appears to be uploading MR-removed versions of performances, and SISTAR’s ‘Music Bank‘ live of “How Dare You” is the newest on the list.
Surprising all with its reveal of strong vocals, netizens commented, “The main vocalist Hyorin has the volume, right breathing techniques, and vocals; there’s nothing she’s lacking. She’s a real treasure.” and “They’re good at live. They’re a group you gradually begin to gain interest in. They’re really refreshing to listen to.”
Meanwhile, SISTAR has been dominating online music charts ever since the official release of their comeback album.

Twice as nice: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took twins Vivienne and Knox to Lee's Art Shop in New York today
Onlookers couldn't help but do a double take as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt stepped out in New York today.
The power couple were treating their twins Knox and Vivienne to an outing at Lee's Art Shop in Manhattan and emerged from the store with the adorable pair in tow.
The two-year-olds were dressed in matching grey coats, with Vivenne wearing a white knit bonnet to shield her from the cold.
Knox looked just like his famous in a black flat cap and chunky boots.
The family are back in the U.S. after a visit to Paris where Angelina, 35, was promoting her new film, The Tourist, and Brad, 46, was hard at work drumming up interest in the animated film, Megamind.
While it was ostensibly a business trip, the pair did find time for romance during their stay in the city.
They were spotted enjoying an intimate dinner for two on Thursday evening at the world famous Restaurant Guy Savoy, on the Rue Troyon.
Growing up fast: The two-year-olds were wrapped up against the cold
'They came, they said, because Clint Eastwood recommended the restaurant to her. He told her they'd enjoy themselves,' the three-Michelin star chef, Guy Savoy, told America's People magazine.
'Brad was very interested in the style of cuisine and very knowledgeable,' added Savoy.
'And I have to say that I took one look at her and I complimented him on his good taste. She is most beautiful in person.'
The couple also celebrated a special family event during their Parisian jaunt - their son Pax's 7th birthday which they marked by taking a hot air ballon ride and a river boat cruise.
Special time: The couple left the rest of their brood at home for the outing
Now that's dedication: Kim Kardashian arrived for her fourth workout in four days at her local LA gym this morning
She let her punishing fitness regime slip during her recent visit to New York, but Kim Kardashian is back on track.
The reality TV star was spotted heading off to to gym this morning for her fourth work-out in as many days.
Kim, dressed in black leggings, a white vest and zip-up Nike jacket, clutched a bottle of water in one hand and her iPod and headphones in the other as she headed in for a training session.
Yesterday she was seen heading off for a morning jog with a friend in Beverly Hills and visited her local fitness centre on both Wednesday and Thursday.
The 30-year-old star recently admitted she struggled to find time to time to stay in shape during her East Coast visit, where she filmed her new show, Kim and Kourtney Take New York.
Back in the zone: The reality TV star was spotted heading off for a morning jog in Beverly Hills yesterday
The beautiful brunette tweeted last week: 'I hit the gym hard today!!!! I fell off for 8 weeks in NYC BUT IM BAAAACKKKK!'
Now she's back at home in California, she's going all-out to work up a sweat. Perhaps there's a reason for her new exercise schedule?
The 30-year-old has been spotted spending time with Halle Berry's gorgeous model ex, Gabriel Aubrey.
First seen together at a recent basketball game, onlookers were surprised to see the pair looking close, since Gabriel, 35, has kept a low profile since his split from Halle earlier this year.
But it seems the relationship is making progress. Kim and Gabriel recently celebrated Thanksgiving together in Los Angeles.
Fitness fanatic: Kim also worked out on Wednesday and Thursday
According to reports Gabriel met Kim's entire family, including sisters Kourtney and Khloe who appear with Kim on their original reality TV show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
He also took her to see Christina Aguilera and Cher's new film, Burlesque, at the Arclight Cinema Theatre in Sherman Oaks.
And while the socialite has been dating Gabriel for just a few short weeks, she is finding it difficult to be discreet about the new romance. Recently on air with American radio host Ryan Seacrest, Kim couldn't help not to hide her happiness.
'I really do want to stay single,' she said.
'It's really hard when you meet amazing people, and gorgeous people. I'm dating - I'm definitely dating.'
'More hello trolley than Hello Dolly': Ann Widdecombe's American Smooth with Anton Du Beke didn't impress the judges on Strictly Come Dancing
Ann Widdecombe was described as a 'Dalek in drag' by judge Bruno Tonioli last night after failing to impress with her American Smooth.
The former MP ended up at the bottom of the leader board - unsurprisingly - after her performance to the Hello Dolly theme for the Movie Night quarter-final, while Pamela Stephenson topped it with four perfect 10s.
Dressed in a gold trousers and a red military-style jacket, the 63-year-old received the lowest score ever for the American Smooth after she was lifted up four times by her partner Anton Du Beke.
'A Dalek in drag': Widdecombe was lifted three times by Du Beke during the routine
Alesha Dixon told her: 'It was nice to see a lot more dance content this week. You're still hanging on to Anton for dear life and you have no facial expression. You haven't improved since last week. I'm afraid for me the honeymoon's over.'
Giving some of the most cutting comments, Bruno remarked: 'It was more like 'Hello trolley' than Hello Dolly. Anton was pushing you around like an overloaded trolley. 'When you were on your own, you looked like a Dalek in drag.'
Quite the actress: Widdecombe started off her dance seated at a dressing table
After Bruno's scathing remarks, Craig Revel-Horwood toned down his usual tough comments, saying: 'I'm going to focus on the positive. All the best moments were for me when your feet weren't touching the floor. The twist knee thing was ok. There was on sashay that was passable.'
But Len Goodman brought it back to negativity: 'American Smooth in its basic form is movement to music. You did move and there was music. Like snow, its fun in the beginning in the end you want it go away.'
Actor Scott Maslen and his partner Natalie Lowe were the first to dance, performing a paso doble to the James Bond theme.
Giving Gavin Henson a run for this money: The song climaxed with Natalie ripping Scott's shirt off
The EastEnders star, 40, went topless for the first time after his Australian partner assured him his 'great body' should be seen by the viewers.
Lowe, 30, showed off her stunning figure in a white bra and pant outfit - obviously inspired by Ursula Andress' famous bikini from Dr No.
Len Goodman teased her: 'Natalie you could have won something a little more revealing, a little more skimpy.'
But costumes aside, he praised the couple: 'You did a wonderful job. It was a hard job, hard choreography and you coped very well.'
Alesha: 'You were giving Gavin a run for his money in the chest performance. It's good to see you back at your best and you're back in the zone.'
Bruno: You've got the license to thrill. You have the determination and the power. You managed to reproduce the Spanish line which wasn't in the track.
Craig: You could have done with a bit more paso shaping through the arms. Your transitions were a bit ropey. But you are back. I loved the choreography. It was virile, red-blooded and hot.'
Grooooooovy baby: Matt Baker and Aliona Vilani performed a fun jive to the Austin Powers soundtrack
TV presenter Matt Baker started off his jive to the Austin Powers theme with a back-flip off the judges table.
The Countryfile star, 32, and partner Aliona Vilani, 26, were dressed in a red velvet suit and Union Jack mini-dress respectively.
Bruno enthused: 'Grooooooovy baby! That was a jive with a swinging sixties flavour. I could have been in Carnaby Street, I was expecting Twiggy to appear.'
In character: Baker kicked off the dance by back-flipping off the judges table
Craig said: 'I absolutely loved it. The characterisation was flawless, it was clean, precise. You did lose timing in the last kick section.'
Len added: 'I liked the backflip thing. The feeling of the dance, little bit light on your feet could have been stronger on the floor, but loved it.'
Pamela Stephenson, who turned 61 today, was supported in the audience by her comedian husband Billy Connolly as she performed the Viennese Waltz to Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers from the Ghost soundtrack.
Birthday girl: Pamela Stephenson and partner James Jordan scored 40 for their Viennese Waltz to Unchained Melody
The pair scored four perfect 10s from all of the judges and a standing ovation - the perfect birthday present for the psychologist.
Craig said: 'Elegant, stylish, tasteful, full of emotion... gorgeous!' Len was quick with his comments: 'Tonight's all about who'll get through to the semi-final and on that performance I'll see you next week.'
SBS returns with another weekly edition of Inkigayo, and it promises to be another fun and exciting show filled with amazing performances from the top singers in Korea.
