[edit] 2010: Debut "Bad Girl Good Girl" and "Step Up"

Miss A made their official debut in early July 2010. Originally, Miss A was announced as a trio consisting of Fei, Jia and Suzy in June 2010. Prior to this, they were widely known to fans unofficially as JYP Sisters. They were a 5-member group in training in 2009, but had gone through several changes, most notably the exit of Hye Lim who joined the Wonder Girls, while two other girls had left. Min had then joined after this, and a name change was issued.
On June 22, 2010, Miss A was officially announced as a quartet, with Min joining the group. An official YouTube channel was made for them, premiering the music video for a Samsung Anycall campaign song, in which only three of the girls are featured, titled "Dashi Sarang" (다시 사랑 "Love Again"). Then, on June 30, the girls premiered the "Bad Girl Good Girl" music video for their debut single, "Bad But Good" containing four songs. Their debut stage was on M! Countdown on July 1, starting promotion for the single. "Bad Girl Good Girl" has since became very popular, topping various online charts.^[2][3]
On July 22, 2010, Miss A was number one for the first time on Mnet's M! Countdown with "Bad Girl Good Girl." The following day, on July 23, the group took the number one title again on KBS Music Bank. On August 1, 2010, Miss A claimed their first Mutizen on SBS Inkigayo with "Bad Girl Good Girl."
On September 16, 2010, AQ Entertainment announced that Miss A would make their comeback and revealed their first teaser photo through their official website. The MV teaser for "Breathe" was released on September 19, 2010 and the music video was released on September 26, 2010 on YouTube. Miss A has returned through Mnet’s “M! Countdown” on October 7, 2010. On October 21, 2010, Miss A was number one for the first time on Mnet's M! Countdown with "Breathe".

SHINee’s Key has a new hair color

Going back during time, SHINee’s Key has been one of the few idols that has change his hair color and style the most. Some idols cut their hair a little when it comes to a comeback, but Key being a fashionable person changes his style or hair color frequently.
Key revealed his new hair color in Sukira where he was a DJ. Even though its not a huge change I got exited when I saw him with his new color.
Check out a picture below

I also cropped some images so you guys can take a look on some changes Key did since debut.

Do you guys like his new hair color?

*Leader* Kim Hyun Joong ranked 2nd to Kpop Live's 'Which Idol Exhibits The Best Qualities of a Leader'

What are the qualities of being the best as a Leader? Well I believe Ss501's Leader has it all kekekeke.. Bias? LOL~ Well for me, Kim Hyun Joong is the best Leader because he's not letting his members to outshine one another. I bet you are noticing why Leader sometimes is quiet when they are having interviews etc etc.. Well that's because since he is already super duper famous, he lets his members to shine as well. Being a good Leader doesn't mean you can handle your members or you can make them behave. A good Leader knows when to act as one, not all the time you own the screen and ofcourse not all the time you have to act as one. You have to step down to your members's level~ And I think Leader Kim Hyun Joong has it all. 

Which Idol Ehxhibits The Best Qualities of a Leader

Every idol group needs to have a leader who not just settles issues among the members, but also encourages and inspires them.  Innolife held a poll from September 24th to October 11th asking participants to choose the leader from an idol group who possesses the best qualities of a leader. DBSK‘s YunHo placed first with 88,511 (72.3%) votes out of the total 122,434 votes. Look who got the succeeding spots. 1. DBSK (YunHo)                          88,511 (72.3%) 2. SS501 (Kim HyunJoong)      15,454 (12.6%) 3. SNSD (TaeYeon)                         5,152 (4.2%) 4. Big Bang (G-Dragon)                 11,857 (9.7%) 5. Super Junior (LeeTeuk)           1,375 (1.1%) 6. KARA (Park Gyuri)                           85 (0.1%)

SS501 COMEBACK

Despite being under four different entertainment labels, the five members of SS501 will come back together for a new album in the first half of next year.

In an interview with Sports World Kim Hyung Joon mentioned that an album would be released next year and said "as the individual group members found their own agencies, outside attention became intense, but it did not mean we broke up the group. Like the group Shinhwa, while the individual members do their own activities, we can come together when we do group activities."

Starting under DSP Entertainment, the members are now under different labels. Recently, Kim Kyu Jong and Heo Young Saeng signed with a new company, B2M Entertainment. Kim Hyun Joong signed with Keyeast earlier this year and had been acting in the drama "Playful Kiss."  Kim Hyung Joon with S-Plus Entertainment and is working on a musical. Park Jung Min with CNR Media is going to release a solo album for November.  

When making their new contracts, being able to participate in SS501 activities was the first condition each of the members put forward.

In a previous article, when Kim Kyu Jong and Heo Young Saeng signed B2M Entertainment, it was first announced that a new album would not be too far away. With today's revelation we can expect them to make a huge comeback as early as the first half of 2011.
