EXO-K’s Sehun to perform with BoA on Music Bank

BoA has performed her track “Only One” with various SM Entertainment labelmates including TVXQ’s Yunho, Super Junior’s Eunhyuk, and SHINee’s Taemin.

These three are known as the main dancers of their respective groups and now she’s scheduled to perform with rookie group EXO-K dance specialist Sehun.

On EXO-K’s official webpage, it was revealed that Sehun will be recording with BoA for KBS’s Music Bank on August 17th at 6:10PM KST.

It should be a big honor for Sehun to perform with the queen of K-pop as he stated previously through an interview that he admires her greatly.

‘To the Beautiful You’ releases new group posters

SBS‘s upcoming drama ‘To the Beautiful You‘ has released a new set of posters featuring the cast!

The first poster features the leading cast members with Sulli at the front, and Minho, Lee Hyun Woo, Kim Ji Won, Seo Jun Young, Kang Ha Neul, and Kwanghee sitting around her at a picnic table with a beautiful ocean view in the backdrop. The poster is actually a depiction of the group’s resort vacation in episodes three and four.

Also of interest is the group’s vacation styling, as they’re all dressed in fresh summer looks with preppy pieces like cardigans and checkered shirts. The second group poster shows the entire cast of students including members of EXO dressed for physical education.

Producers stated, “We worked with a lot of different concepts to create a poster that would aptly show the colors of the characters, their relationships, and the drama itself. We’ll be releasing individual posters of the leading cast.”
