Translation: MBLAQ: Hi, we're MBLAQ, please look on us kindly.
MC: We're looking forward to the group that singer Rain has produced. But in contrast to their powerful stage, apparently they have a surprising side?
MC: They say you are divided into "dirty guys" and "clean guys"?
Seungho: We're not particularly dirty guys, we're just the average guy style. We wash cleanly and quickly, and that's it. If you're a man, you can wash and be done in 10 minutes
Joon: You can wash in 2 minutes, 2 minutes.
MC: And these two wash for one hour?
CD: Yes, that's right
SH: Our apartment was a villa-style, if those two go in to wash, we couldn't because there was no hot water.
Mir: That's why we don't wash.
Subtitle: To wash away the dishonour of the "dirty guy" - Lee Joon's kick! [after he fails the first try, pointing to his pants] Joon: Look at this! I'll lift it up and do it!
MC: Success, on the second try! As soon as he's succeeded, he returns to his idol image. Lee Joon, you will be complimented by company president Rain.

SM Entertainment will hold a press conference today regarding the conflict with TVXQ/DBSK/Tohoshinki.
Lawyers of SM Entertainment said: "The court's ruling for TVXQ is not fair. They didn't consider the main reasons of the case. Their long contract is so that we can let them grow and have a long term deal with them. We want to look at their career in the long run and the court's decision is not letting us do that. This is going to affect TVXQ's international promotions. It'll also create confusion for stars that want to have long term contracts and move on to bigger things later in their careers and for the companies that want to nurture talented people for a longer time. Not only that, it'll have some unwanted consequences on exports of Korean music as well as other issues."
They continued to say: "Each year, we adjusted the contracts in favor of the members. Before this problem, the three members never complained about anything. Now that they have succeeded this much, they are complaining. They have just started to reach the top and now want to separate. Before a final decision is made, the three can do their personal and individual work. However, this does not grant the three members any rights as part of TVXQ."
Because of all this, TVXQ has not been able to work and SM Entertainment will seek to receive compensation for damages during the time that TVXQ has been inactive.

I'm sure many of you SHINee fans were ecstatic with last evening's win on Inkigayo - after all, grabbing a Mutizen is just another testament that the SHINee boys are back and better than ever! However, fans of another comeback quintet don't seem to be so happy: with SHINee's victory, SS501 came in second and was left in the dust with no awards for Love Like This this week.
SS501 fans have expressed doubts about last night's calculations due to the close figures. Instead of expressing heated outrage, many are now asking the SBS production team for a breakdown of the scores that determined SHINee as this week's chart winner, and have even started a protest thread on the forums on Inkigayo's official website.
First of all, there is a dispute over the album sale counts between both groups. On Music Bank on Friday, the normal and limited edition sales of the REBIRTH album collaboratively outnumbered SHINee's album sales, leading to SS501's win. The accumulated sales of REBIRTH outnumbered Year of Us sales by over 2000. However, SHINee fans argue that, if one were to compare the REBIRTH normal edition only sales against Year of Us, SHINee would beat SS501, as indicated by the Hanteo monthly chart for October.
Furthermore, both Music Bank and Inkigayo put greater weight on digital sales than album sales - on Music Bank, digital sales account for 60% (as opposed to album sales which are 15%). On Inkigayo, digital sales make up 30% and album sales 20% for the overall scoring system. SHINee has outranked SS501 on various digital sales charts, including Melon, Mnet. Bugs, Dosirak, soribada and more.
However, even if SHINee has outranked SS501 in these categories, the margin between the Inkigayo scores was only a few hundred points; even if the scoring systems were done appropriately, SS501 fans are asking for another look just in case.
So what do you think, are SS501 fans overreacting or should such a close margin be reexamined anyway? Either way, there's always next week; SS501 returned after SHINee, which may explain why SHINee has risen to claim their awards first. Good luck to both groups next Sunday!
