Korea's 'Best and Worst' Singers Categorized by Vocal Trainers

In a recent survey conducted by a local Korean newspaper, ten vocal trainers ranked idols and idol groups based on how well they sing. JYJ's Junsu ranked 1st as the best singer out of all the Korean idol group members.

Junsu ranked 1st in the best singer category, while SNSD's Taeyeon tied with SISTAR's Hyorin for the 2nd spot.

Meanwhile, in the category for best group, 2AM ranked 1st, while Big Bang took the second spot.

Although KARA has been gaining tremendous popularity in Japan, the group was selected as the worst singing group. After School then placed 2nd in this category.

Wonder Girls' Sohee was picked as the worst singer, with KARA's Goo Hara in 2nd place. The vocal trainers made a unanimous decision that Hara has the pretty looks, but other than that they could not settle for anything else.

A figure from the music industry stated, “Non-idol groups are losing their place in the K-pop industry, and even if they do, they are separated from the idol groups like water and oil”.

He continued, “Music programs, which are a great means to introduce Korean songs, are no longer a place for those solely committed to singing”.

Dara has reportedly returned safely to Korea. Bom, Dara, and Minzy will be taking a later flight back. The "Playful Kiss" event scheduled to be held on the 13th in Japan has been canceled, in addition to Kim Hyunjoong's trip to Japan. A meeting was held in the morning by the organizer of the event, during which, it was stated that they had to take into consideration the safety of Kim Hyunjoong, the cast, and of the fans.

Due to the recent 8.9 earthquake in Japan, fans have raised concerns for the safety of the idols who had been in Japan.

C-Jes has reported that JYJ's Junsu, who arrived in Japan on the 8th, is safe and awaits a return flight to Korea at the Japan airport. Due to the closure of both Narita and Haneda airport, the two main international airports in Japan, it was unsure whether Junsu would make it back in time to Korea for JYJ's first official fan meeting.

However, despite an initial announcement that the fan meeting might be canceled, C-Jes has revealed that Junsu was able to book a flight and the fan meeting will proceed as planned without any delays or disruption.

To the fans who are participating in the fan meeting:

The JYJ fan meeting will take place on March 12th at 3PM without any disruptions.

Kim Junsu will board a plane tonight, will return to Korea, and take a rest. He will participate in the fan meeting tomorrow. We discussed this with Junsu and decided that the fan meeting will take place as planned.

With regards to the onsite ticket sales we announced at around 6 initially, because the cancellation of the tickets did not take place today, we have decided not to sell JYJ fan meeting tickets onsite tomorrow.

Thank you.

In other news, actor Kim Jung Hoon's fan meeting was scheduled for March 14th at the Saitama Super Arena. The fan meet had an expected attendance of 15,000 fans. But due to the recent natural disaster, the fan meet has been postponed. One of his representative in Japan commented, "Kim Jung Hoon was in a building at the time of the earthquake, and the building started to shake uncontrollably. Pots and such were breaking left to right, however, thankfully no one was injured."

2NE1 also arrived in Japan the other day and was set to perform their debut stage on Music Station. However, due to the earthquake, their stage has been canceled and their promotions postponed. A YG representative stated that the local staff was not able to call and had the company concerned due to the state of poor communication currently being experienced in Japan.

The group was set to return to Korea on the 12th, but due to the closure of the airports might not able to to do so. YG said that they will continue to monitor the situation. In regards to 2NE1's well-being, the representative stated, "2NE1 was staying in one of the well-designed buildings in Japan, but because of the strength of the earthquake, the walls cracked. Unfortunately, 2NE1 cannot showcase their debut performance, but they are safe and without harm, so it’s a relief.”

Are you glad to hear that they are all safe and sound despite of the disruption in some of their activities?
