HO DONG AH~~~~~~~ KHD has so many weird dance moves that I don’t really know which one is it… LOL

But M doing a KHD? Did Eric put him up to this…? Hehehehe……

So the only way to find out? Tune in to Music Bank on KBS later today! Here’s how…

1. Open your Internet Explorer. (only works in IE)
2. Click HERE
3. Click on ‘2TV’
4. Enjoy the show!

Music Bank starts at 6.40pm (Seoul time) every Friday.

Singer Lee Minwoo, who recently presented his Vol 4.5 album ‘Minnovation’ with powerful stage performances, has incorporated Kang Ho Dong’s ‘Ho Dong dance’ into the choreography for his follow-up track ‘Summer Time’, which looks set to spark off a popular trend.

‘Summer Time’ is a dance track with retro vibes, and it’s a cheerful song that Lee Minwoo has prepared for his fans in the hot summer. The first performance for the song, featuring the ‘Ho Dong dance’ as his secret weapon, will take place on 7 August on KBS2’s Music Bank.

A source said, “Lee Minwoo has always respected and liked Kang Ho Dong, just like his own elder brother. During one of the practice sessions, he and the dancers were mimicking Kang Ho Dong’s funny expressions, much to the amusement and great response from everyone, and that’s how the dance came about.”

A member on the album production team added, “It’s really funny just imagining Lee Minwoo dancing like Kang Ho Dong. I’m looking to such a fun performance.”

[09.08.01][news] 2009 "Stars Military Service"

2009 STAR MILITARY SERVICE. SOME HAVE COMPLETED THE 2 YEAR SERVICE AND OTHERS A ARE FACED WITH ENLISTMENT FOR 2 YEARS





"I WAS BORN A MAN TO LIVE AND TO PROTECT MY COUNTRY WITH HONOR"



In 2008 the entertainment took a big hit when many of the starts like, Kangta, Eru, Yang Dong-geun, Lee Ki Chan, Tony An, Jo Seung-woo, among others were faced with their mandatory military Service duties, which brought many fans to tears. It is, however, mantadory in the Republic of Korea that every healthy man is subject to serve their Military Forces.





In 2009, however, many of the stars have completed their mandatory service and are waiting. Which start would be "returning" and "leaving"?





"NOW WE NEED TO SEPARATE; WE WILL MEET AGAIN IN 2 YEARS"...




Members of Shinhwa, Lee Min Woo and Jun Jin, have not yet confirmed official dates of enlistment in 2009. Because they both already reach the age of 29 and due to previous delays on their military service they have to enlist no later than the end of this year. Korea, military laws, state that males must enlist no later than the age of 29. Any plans to leave the country for overseas activities would be very difficult; special permission must be granted in order to do so.




Note: Translator translated information only related to Shinhwa members, other info ommited.

ALTHOUGH, THERE WAS NO REFERENCE ON THIS SPECIFIC ARTICLE. IN 2008 2 OF OUR OWN WERE FACED WITH MILITARY SERVICE DUTY

KIM DONG WAN
ERIC MUN

ALSO, WANTED TO MENTION. ALTHOUGH, THERES NO OFFICIAL DATE FOR JUN JIN TO ENLIST, HES EXPECTED TO EMPLOY IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER.

AS FAR AS MIN WOO, HE HAS TO ENLIST BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.
