Big Bang-Super Junior-2PM to be missing 1 member each for Dream Concert this year
3 of Kpop’s biggest boybands will be missing 1 member for their performances on upcoming large-scale concert ‘2009 Dream Concert’ to be held on 10th October.
For this concert, the performing teams are Big Bang, Super Junior, 2PM, SHINee, Jewelry, KARA, So Nyeo Shi Dae, T-ara, 2NE1, 4Minute, Wheesung, Park HyoShin, MC Mong, ChaeYeon etc.
And of them, groups Big Bang, Super Junior and 2PM will be missing 1 member each at the concert performance.
Big Bang member DaeSung will not be participating at the concert. He got into a car accident in August, and even though he has successfully undergone an operation recently for his injuries incurred during the accident, he is still recuperating from his injuries.
He has joined the team on Family Outing for filming on 21st September for 2 days and 1 night, but for now, he will not be doing broadcast activities. Hence he will not be joining the other 4 Big Bang members for Dream Concert.
Then there was group 2PM. After leader JaeBum left the group and returned to Seattle following his MySpace messages saga, the group will be promoting as 6 members.
This will be the first time the rest of the 6 members perform together on stage after the saga. They have not been on any broadcast or schedule for the past month due to this. But the production company has decided not to air their performance.
Lastly, group Super Junior will also be missing KangIn for Dream Concert this year. This follows the assault case involving KangIn in September. It was decided that he will not be performing with the rest of the Super Junior members for this concert.
Meanwhile, the MCs for Dream Concert this year will be Kim HeeChul and Song JiHyo.
TOP about competition in acting with UKnow, “I never thought of it that way”
Group Big Bang member TOP has denied being compared in terms of acting with Dong Bang Shin Ki member Jung YunHo.
TOP was present at the press conference for upcoming KBS drama ‘IRIS’ on 5th October in Seoul Lotte Hotel, when he was asked the question of how he felt about the competition with Jung YunHo who is also having his acting debut in ‘Heading To The Ground’ at the same time period. His answer was, “I never thought of it that way.”
He said, “I started acting 2 years back with ‘I Am Sam’ without much thinking. Back then I was really very scared. But now I have a certain level of interests for acting, and I even have the greed to do better. Because acting has now become more of a responsibility to me, I don’t think about the burden of competition with other idol group members.”
And when asked if he had to do any special preparations for his role as a killer, he said, “I do not have much acting experiences unlike the other seonbae actors, because of that I do whatever I can and have to. I did a lot of shotting practice at the ball firing practice courts.”
He also added about his experience working with the other seonbae actors, “They treated me very well like a real dongsaeng (younger sibling) and I get the feeling of the maknae (youngest) in a family.”
