Extravagant Challenge”, which is gaining public attention, will finally hold an official press conference on the 31st of March. This also signifies that the drama team will be fully propelled into action, and the group of casts will also enter the four-and-a-half month filming period.
Aside from the executive producer Feng Jiarui and producer Niu Chengze, the press conference this time will also be attended by the representative of the producer from Japan, Miyaki Hisako. She would be attending the ceremony on behalf of the original author (of the manga) and the publishing company who could not make an appearance due to the earthquake in Japan. Aside from that, SJ’s Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae, who would be meeting everyone as their characters in the drama for the first time, will also be based in Taiwan for a period of time, in order to prepare for the shooting of the drama with the female lead Chen Yihan and the other casts.
As for the cast who became the centre of attention, aside from the confirmed participation of SJ’s Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae, and also Chen Yihan, the newest actress who joined in as the best friend of main female character Gong Xi (Kyoko Mogami in the original manga), Bianca Bai (Bai Bai), will also make an appearance for the first time during the official press conference. Bai Bai expressed that she is looking forward to play the character of Jiang Nanqing (Kotonami Kanae in the original manga), who is a person with brilliant acting skills but lacks emotions, because this character is significantly different from the roles she had taken on in the past. Bai Bai expresses that she is ready to take on the character, playing an acquired-type actress who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside, and has to act out the scenes whereby she becomes Gong Xi’s best friend after being completely unable to see eye-to-eye from the beginning, in addition to the PK acting competition which she has to undergo against Gong Xi on stage in order to snatch the main role for an advertisement. She said that she definitely wants the audience to be mesmerised by her performance in the drama.
All the main cast of the drama had to compress their schedules in order to fit in to the filming schedule of Extravagant Challenge. Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae would reach Taiwan to perform necessary preparations first, and because of her work in Mainland China, Chen Yihan would only rush back to Taiwan on the 30th (of March). After they meet up with each other, the three main casts will start on filming-related matters, and would officially begin the shooting of the drama in full force. It is currently estimated that the filming period would last at least four-and-a-half months.
The official press conference for the drama will be held at the Grand Hall of GTV on the 31st of March (press entrance only, no fans are allowed, and in view of environmental protection please do not send garlands). On the day, Choi Siwon, Lee Donghae, Chen Yihan, and Bianca Bai will do a catwalk together, in order to officiate the filming journey in Taiwan. Of course, during the duration of the filming, Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae would be staying in Taiwan, and prepare to experience life as a true Taiwanese. It is believed that this is great news for the fans. Note: Some parts of the article omitted.

As the issue of JYJ fans being unhappy with JYJ's album being excluded from the Oricon prolongs, JYJ expressed their views through their management saying that “this is ‘an unfair treatment’.”
On 9th March, a representative of JYJ told Star News: "Avex is hindering JYJ's activities in Japan and yet they are selling their albums to make profits at the same time. We feel that this is unreasonable". Earlier on, JYJ’s representative has announced that with regards to JYJ’s Japan’s activities as well as their album sales, the distribution of the profits earned was not appropriate. He also added that "we feel very sorry seeing Japanese fans together with those from Korea getting disappointed and hurt once and again while waiting for JYJ. But with regards to any album release related to JYJ, (Avex) has never discussed with us, and we hope this can be fixed as soon as possible".
Recently, Oricon charts, a music-related sales ranking chart that has received a lot of trust from the public, announced that they have decided to remove JYJ's DVD 'Memories in 2010’ and album 'Thanksgiving Live In Dome Live CD' from the charts.
According to Oricon, this decision being made as Avex, being the owner of the rights to the sale of these two albums from JYJ, has cancelled their contract with the activities of the artistes. [T/N: Unfortunately, if there weren't any major changes from last year, the contract between JYJ and Avex has not expired yet. Avex, THSK’s management company in Japan, has already announced a one-sided delay for an unlimited period for JYJ's activities last year.]
Oricon explained that, as JYJ's activities in Japan has been interrupted, Avex had decided not to hold any promotional activities for the two albums, but after reviewing them, they decided to release them to revitalize the market. Due to this reason, both albums were excluded from the rankings on the chart.
Avex announced in September last year that they will stop all activities in Japan for JYJ, a three-member group that includes Hero JaeJung, Micky YuChun and Xiah JunSu.
At that point of time, Avex claimed that "as the three members of THSK are in a dispute with SM Entertainment with regards to their contracts, it seems that our contracts with JYJ will also be invalid. Because of this, we have immediately stopped all activities the three members had in Japan".
‘I want to sing a remake of the The Deep Night Flies during a concert.’
Beast’s Yoseob revealed his thoughts on taking on the challenge of being in a musical during the press conference for ‘Gwanghwamun Sonata’ at the Sejong Center in Seoul on the 21st of March.
Yoseob said, ” I felt very nervous and worried when I joined the musical. In order to avoid destroying these precious classic songs at such a large venue, I didn’t think much about it and just paid my full attention to singing them. I hope everyone will understand.”
He stated, ” The moment the songs played, I felt wobbly on my feet. He also expressed his ambition, “I was so nervous that I reached a stage where I couldn’t remember my lines and how I was supposed to act. After performing many times repeatedly, I hope to work hard and become a better actor.”
Yoseob also said, ” It would have been great if I had been able to sing a happy sounding remake of composer Lee Young Hoon’s song The Deep Night Flies during Beast’s encore concert. “, thus expressing his liking for the song.
MBLAQ has all the qualities of masculine men. Among them Seungho, who is particularly rough and manly, is a guy in which there is a mysterious combination of masculinity and beastliness. Seungho, who firmly made up his mind at a late age to debut as a singer, has only strived towards reaching the top. Perhaps that is why in his eyes there is a charisma that cannot be compared to others and a deep masculinity.
Throughout the interview with TVDaily, Seungho only made clear statements that contained his own thoughts. When asked what kind of music MBLAQ wanted to pursue, he answered in a sure voice, "As of yet I don't think MBLAQ has a clear color or genre. Finding that image is our first goal." Like his confidence regarding his future, Seungho also has sure beliefs. Due to his cool-headed judgments and stubbornness he can come off as a bit cold, but because it is Seungho, it was understandable. Truthfully, it would not be incorrect to call Seungho the original RCM (rough, city man). "When I first met my members I wasn't really able to reveal my inner thoughts. So the other members probably thought I was putting on airs." He continued with, "Up till then I thought, 'Why do I have to reveal my personality to people who I'm not close to?'" bringing to light his unusual personality. Lee Joon then said, "Seungho hyung has really changed a lot. Before, his gaze was really cold but I think it's become much more good-natured" reflecting on their past. Then Seungho said, "I think it was because of puberty. In my pictures when I was young I was really good-natured" ending with a laugh. Even the original RCM Seungho changed after meeting the members of MBLAQ. As they spent long periods of time together through tv broadcasts, it seems that inside he is satisfied with his brighter appearance. I suddenly became curious about what Seungho's relationship with the opposite sex would be like since he seems perpetually tough. "I like a girl who doesn't lie. I find it fascinating when people say that their ideal type looks like a certain person." It is surely a Seungho-like answer. Lies to Seungho, whose fault is in his honestly, would be like poison. He also answers firmly in regards to questions regarding ideal types. "I need to meet them. Some say that a person can be your ideal type simply by looking at their face but I'm not the type to do so. If you like their appearance, I think first you need to get to know their personality." "Around 33 years of age I'm going to marry and definitely have a son before I pass middle age. I truly wish for a son as my first child!" Not only is he sure about his ideal type but he also has clear-cut plans for the next ten years. "It was my dream to become a young father by 20 but it's already too late. Therefore I want to fulfill my dream of becoming a producer quickly and get married." His member Lee Joon said, in regard to the question about ideal types, "Kindness is the best", and Cheondoong answered, "I've never thought about it." Even though there is only an age gap of one or two years, the clear differences in opinions regarding ideal types makes Seungho seem a bit more mature. Seungho is a cool guy who proudly regards his trademark dark circles as the result of hard work. Seungho and his members have an abundance of confidence, ambition, and an unyielding spirit that only those in their twenties can have and one should anticipate their future activities.
