[NEWS] 4minute Hyunah and MBLAQ Lee Joon, date on an airplane?

As first hand accounts of 4minute Hyunah's (20) and MBLAQ Lee Joon's (23) affectionate appearances on an airplane were reported, a lot of attention was received.

On June 22nd at Okinawa, Hyunah and Lee Joon boarded an Asiana airplane heading to Incheon Airport side by side.

The two people sat together in the first row all the way at the front of the business-class section. For the 2 hours and 10 minutes they were on the airplane, they looked lke they were a couple.

Entertainment reporters who observed the two people said, "Hyunah and Lee Joon were wearing casual outfits and they took care of each other as if they were a couple in college. Maybe it was because business-class did not have many passengers, but Hyunah and Lee Joon sat comfortably without wearing any sunglasses or hats."

It was confirmed that Hyunah and Lee Joon were returning from Okinawa with the staff for Hyunah's solo album music video; however, people who were observing at the time did not know this and they thought the two were returning from a trip together.

Up to this point, Hyunah and Lee Joon always openly said that the other person was his or her ideal type. At the end of this month, Hyunah confidently called Lee Joon as her ideal on SBS FM Choi Hwajung's Power Time. Even when she appeared on SBS Quiz Club recently, she answered "MBLAQ's Lee Joon" when asked who she had in her mind by gagwoman Kim Sook.

And as expected, Lee Joon reciprocated. On last July's KBS2 Star Golden Bell, he was asked what he thought when Hyunah picked him as her ideal type and he replied, "Hyunah is definitely the best out of girl groups."

Furthermore, Lee Joon and Hyunah were matched as a couple for a dance. While MBLAQ and 4minute prepared for their joint performance on 2010's SBS Gayo Daejun, they even had a wedding photoshoot. Lee Joon and Hyunah were complimented and told that they looked like a real couple.

As wedding pictures in which they kissed each other's cheeks were revealed, fans even supported them and said, "It'd be great if they were actually dating." And in January, Lee Joon and Hyunah were MCs together for SBS's variety program "Remote Control."

CUBE Entertainment said, "The music video concept is a boyfriend and girlfriend's date. Hyunah and Lee Joon acting affectionate toward each other on board the plane was actually just a setup for the music video. Still photographs were taken at this time. These photographs were taken so they could be inserted as a panorama at the end of the music video, but it was decided that they would be removed since they did not actually fit into the whole context of the video. Please do not misunderstand (*Hyunah and Lee Joon's relationship---or lack of one)."

[EXCLUSIVE] BEAST's Yong Junhyung & KARA's Goo Hara date captured!

[Dispatch] 'Hallyu Idol' couple is born. KARA’s Goo Hara and BEAST’s Yong Junhyung, who are currently going back and forth from Korea and Japan, are the stars. ‘Dispatch’ had captured their sweet dating scene.

Goo Hara and Yong Junhyung had been slowly growing their love together. It had been about a month before when their relationship developed into a loving one and before they just had the type of relationship where they would let out their feelings to each other and as they talked more often, their feelings for each other naturally developed into something more than just friends.

Their acquaintance had stated, “Since the past, KARA members were very close with BEAST members. Because they ended up doing activites around the same time period, they had developed a relationship where they are relying and encouraging each other. With the upcoming comeback in Japan, they had moved on to the relationship had advanced to be something much more serious.

Their date was small and simple like their meeting. They didn’t even wear a simple “cover.” They didn’t even cover their faces with sunglasses. The dating location was to the point. Even though they were idols with conquering fandoms, they enjoyed their street dates.

The scene that ‘Dispatch’ first witnessed was the midnight of the 9th when BEAST’s Yong Junhyung arrived from finishing his schedules in Japan. They ordered two cups of coffee from a take out in Kangnam and went to the Kangbyun area in the car.

Their location was Yong Junhyung’s place and they had parked the car in the corner to walk around the area for about an hour. Their park date was important to note as well. They went to the ‘Sky Park’ located in Sang Am Dong. The scene of Yong Junhyung holding the wrist of Goo Hara walking behind him was a sight to see.

They had even met on the Sunday when the music program ended. That was when BEAST was promoting ‘Fiction’ off of their first official album. The Sunday night, when the music program ended, they used the break time in their schedules. On the midnight of the 13th, they walked around the back alleyway of Hongdae and sensed the path of youths.

Their dates had no hiding or secretiveness. When they were in their cars, Goo Hara always had her window down. She even enjoyed the outside scenery with her head out the window. The strange thing was that one could have realized that it was her. They were natural like a normal couple in their early 20s.

A person who knows Goo Hara described her as someone with naivety. Even though she debuted early, she had the innocence that hasn’t been dirtied. They stated, that Yong Junhyung had probably fell for those innocent charms of her as well.

A person who knew Yong Junhyung rated him highly of his musical talent. A close friend stated, “He has the most outstanding musical talent when it comes down to all the other idol stars,” and “He shows off amazing skills when he is composing and editing. If you are someone into music, you can’t help but to fall into Yong Junhyung’s artistic talents.”

Meanwhile, their managements showed cautious response to their relationship. DSP Entertainment and CUBE Entertainment had met with ‘Dispatch’ on the night of the 27th and stated, “KARA and BEAST members have a very close relationships. We had no idea that it had developed into something more than friends.”

The two managements stated, “After checking with them specifically, it is true that they have good feelings toward each other, however they are in the stage of getting to know each other. We believe about a month passed for them so we hope that people will be watching for a little longer.”

[NEWS] BEAST’s Yong Junhyung, Eluphant’s voluntary promotion…they express their affection

Eluphant and BEAST member Yong Junhyung’s friendship is becoming a topic.

After Eluphant released his digital single ‘She Is Not Following you,’ Yong Junhyung tweeted “I just came home after listening to Eluphant’s new single. For people who use twitter, the contents may seem familiar, but it’s above and beyond.” By doing so, he increased anticipation and expectations and promoted the song.

Yong Junhyung, whom we recently met, spoke of their unique bond. “Before debuting, starting from age 20, I was on good terms with Eluphant’s Kebee hyung. BEAST’s current choreography was made possible through him. At that time, I was conned by entertainment company problems and other issues, but Kebee hyung gave me lots of strength and stood by me. He advised me that reading a lot of books is advantageous for writing raps, and even recommended me some poems. It gives me thoughts that he is an elite rapper with great sensibility.”

“After hearing the songs that the hyungs played for me, I immediately uploaded tweets about it on my account. The track was really good. Because we were busy, we weren’t able to see each other often, but even now, we monitor each other and share opinions. To me, he is a hyung that I am always grateful for.” With this, he expressed his affection.
