Rumours abound and chatter of this has been around for a long time. But without official statements were weren’t sure breaking news such as this would be a good leap without being sure.

But, at this point in time, Yongseo have finished their final shooting on March the 14th, “White Day” In Korea.

The decision for the end of the WGM couple was due to busy schedules and difficulty in setting up times for them to meet.

Though you still will have Yongseo so watch for another couple of weeks. The final episode is expected to air at the end of march or beginning of April.

The couple started the program February 27th of 2010. It has been just a little over a year, but I didn’t expect it to end this quickly. I honestly loved the crap out of this couple. Queue the crying, or for the Seohyun lovers, queue the relief :P.

Since then, the share price dropped gradually and he has sold 500,000 shares for a profit of 8bn KRW (7.2m USD). However, with the national activities of DBSK and the ever-increasing popularity of SNSD in Japan, SM’s value is increasing. With this, Lee has gained 20bn KRW and is set to break the 100bn KRW barrier once more.

E-tribe has written hits like Lee Hyori’s ‘U-Go-Girl’ and SNSD’s ‘Gee’ and are now the producers of a new girl group called ‘Dal Shabet’, in their opinion however, SNSD still remain as the best idol group.

E-tribe recently told reporters, “Currently, there is yet a solo singer better than Rain and Lee Hyori. In the case of idol group, after TVXQ, SNSD seem to be the only group who can adapt and present themselves perfectly to various different styles”.

E-Tribe commented, “SNSD’s ‘Gee’ was a mega hit song and they continue to succeed with ‘Tell Me Your Wish’, which was totally different from ‘Gee’ in terms of style. Similarly, this happened to ‘Oh!’ and the recently released ‘Hoot’ as well. In order to come up new appearances, ideas and endless possibilities are being explored to develop new styles”.

They added, “In our opinion, after TVXQ, SNSD is the only idol group with variety of styles who could adapt well and perfectly express the feelings of their songs. ‘Thousand Faces’ are the best words to describe them”.

 

Artist can achieve greatness by combining dance, song and performance in their repertoire, but E-tribe also believes that artists also need a unique concept at the right place and time.

Works produced and composed by E-Tribe include the following:

• “Gee” for Girls’ Generation
• “Yodel” by KARA
• “U-Go-Girl” for Lee Hyo-ri
• “Naeng Myun” for Jessica (Girls’ Generation) & Park Myeong-su
• “It’s You” for Super Junior
• “I Know” by Se7en
• “Yayaya” by T-ara
• “Outlaw in the Wild” for Hyuna of 4minute & Nassun
• “O-IWI-O” for Nassun & MBLAQ’s G.O. O-IWI-O is a response to Gee
• “Cry” for MBLAQ

The people that wrote “Gee” can’t be wrong 😛
