On October 8th, because of the LG Cyong Chocolate Phone endorsement SNSD & f(x) will both be releasing a song called ‘Chocolate  Love’  They’ll be showing their different sounds. SNSD’s will, of course, be cutesy and vintage while f(x)’s with Amber’s powerful rap will have a more techno and trendy sound to it.

Also, if hearing them sing isn’t enough, then SEE them sing. The song will come with an MV which will be released around Mid-October.

Meanwhile, here are some eye candy for you lucky fans who cared to visit this site!

But you have to go under the cut to see the yummlicious pictures!

Here’s a stalker picture of Amber & HyunA of 4Minute in a coffee shop together:

We can all see that for being fresh-out-of-the-oven rookies, they do know how to work it in front of the camera.

What do you guys think?

All 9 members of Girls’ Generation were present but only Krystal, Luna, & Sulli were together.

This is just some random eye candy.

Here’s the picture:

After promoting their debut digital single, ‘La chA tA’ a SM Representative revealed that f(x) would be releasing their first album soon, probably between November and December. It hasn’t been said if it will be a full or mini-album. Also, this SME Representative said that the album will not only be sold in South Korean stores but also all over Asia including China and  Japan. This only makes sense as SM Entertainment promoted them as Asia Pop Dance Group and have 2 members from China (Victoria & Amber). The album will have songs composed by the top writers in the music entertainment and my guess will be that it will consist of pop techno songs. Maybe even some ballads to compliment Krystal & Luna’s vocals.

On a side note, rumours have spread that SM Entertainment will soon be debuting another girl group with the name ‘AHM’

Stay tuned to The SM Effect as more information about f(x)’s first album is released.

`That’s right, V.I.P’s! After months of anticipation teasers are finally coming out! Tae-Yang (Young Bae) of YG’s Big Bang will soon be releasing his single ‘Where U At’ and now the long wait is finally over! A picture (the one above) was recently released. It is clearly not from the MV but we can see Young Bae will be following his usual style. A sideways cap with tight muscle shirts, jeans, and sneakers.

Not that we mind right ladies? All I can say is that this picture is oh-so-hot.

As a fellow V.I.P I share your happiness and as a crazy hormone filled fan girl I say ‘OHMYGOD.OHMYGOD. I’M GONNA DIE AFTER SEEING SO MUCH HOTNESS’

What makes this ‘contest’ more interesting and competitive are those big entertainment companies.
Big Bang and 2NE1’s YG Entertainment, and SNSD, Super Junior, SHInee, and F(x)’s SM Entertainment are the entertainment companies which are known as the best idol group managing companies in Korea and with the Dream Concert and the survey, each entertainment’s fans are having a confrontation that we think is going to become a big fight.

A Primium Coffee selling company’s homepage is holding a survey of its own. Its a 3 day event
and its now the first day of the event at 12:40 and the number of fans and people who have
voted is, about 17,750 people.

This coffee house is giving out 200 tickets to those 100 people (2 tickets per person) who vote for the group they think is going to be big at the Dream Concert.

The survey is going to end on October 6th at 9AM. The coffee house will announce the winners
of the tickets at 4PM.

Also, the coffee house is giving out 20 VIP passes (2 per person) to those who voted for the winners
of the survey. Which is pulling interest from the netizens.

The 15th Annual ‘ I love Korea 2009 Dream Concert’ is being held on October 10th at 6:30PM at the Seoul SangAm World Cup stadium.
