In order to promote SNSD’s new Japanese album, British singer C.J. Lewis worked on Korean idol group SNSD hit track “GENIE” for an English remix version of their hit song!

The song – which was uploaded onto Universal Music Japan’s official YouTube channel – takes an edgier uptempo twist on the catchy pop song. Although the video is just a teaser, the song features lines that are entirely in English and promises an official release sometime this July.

Earlier today it was revealed that Korean boyband 2PM will make an appearance in the currently running “BOSS 2” drama airing on Fuji TV.

The six boys recently recorded their part and played themselves for their role while performing in a club. Osawa Eriko (Amami Yuki), the boss of a unique group of detectives, and one of her subordinates, the gay Iwai Zenji (Kendo Kobayashi) dropped by the club while the group performed their popular song “Heartbeat“.

The producer of the drama explained that, since both Osawa and Iwai are interested in men such asGeorge Clooney, the “Beasts” of 2PM would definitely fit into the category of their ideal types as well. When they were given the opportunity to appear in the drama the group immediately accepted the offer and while some of the members already appeared in Korean dramas, this marks the first time where they all appear in a drama together.

They filmed the scenes in the club earlier this month where 70 lucky fans of 2PM were invited as extras and encouraged to cheer for their idols in order to make it look like a genuine performance. Of course the ending of the “Heartbeat” didn’t miss the obligatory shirt-ripping that increased the excitement of the fans and cast even further.

Amami commented, “They really grabbed my heart, while filming I totally forgot about the drama and just screamed (with the fans). They’re beautiful beasts that sing and dance vibrantly.”

2PM member Junsu stated, “It is an honor for 2PM to appear in this drama.” Furthermore all the members agreed on the incredible charisma of Amami stating, “She is a fascinating female boss.”

The mentioned scene will be part of the sixth episode of “BOSS 2″ that will air on May 26th

Netizens are buzzing over a picture of IU that was uploaded onto the website of a facial plastic surgery clinic.

Noting that the clinic specializes in jaw surgery, netizens wondered whether the picture was taken after she had undergone surgery herself. After all, it’s normal for celebrities to pose for a picture with doctors if they get sponsorships from their clinics.

The speculation led Loen Entertainment to clarify the matter through TV Daily on May 20th. They stated, “Rumors of her getting jaw surgery are completely unfounded. The clinic pictured in the photo does specialize in jaw surgery, but they also do dermatology as well. IU went to the clinic once or twice in 2009 for skin care, but she hasn’t returned since. It’s weird that people think that she automatically received surgery because she took a picture in a clinic. There are pictures of other celebrities with that clinic and we’re gravely upset that it’s only IU who received such rumors.”

They continued, “We would just like to thank everyone for their interest in IU, but as she is still young, we ask that you please refrain from creating rumors that will hurt her.”
