Here @ halare!

This is a pretty general kpop question, so I'm sorry if it is inappropiate to post here. This is the only kpop related community I'm a member of so I feel this comm is the only place I can ask.

I noticed that Bestiz.net (a popular Korean site that uploads videos of kpop concerts/TV shows) closed down today, and this message was on the main page: 

본  사이트  디자인을  무단도용히는  사이트가  있어서  잠시  사이트를 열어두었습니다.  이 사이트 디자인을   경찰에   보여줘야   될것  같습니다. 그리고 빠른 시간안에 신고하겠습니다.

Can anyone translate this message? The only thing I can understand is something about the police, so I'm guessing the site is closed down permenantely and Kpop sites will have to find Kpop videos elsewhere...? :(

Thanks a lot.

Gagman Park Myung Soo and So Nyeo Shi Dae Jessica will perform together on MBC Music Core.

Known as ‘MyungCa Tribe’ the 2 will perform the song ‘NaengMyun’ off Infinite Challenge’s special ‘Olympic Duet’ episode on Music Core on 25th July.

The song is written by ETribe who also did So Nyeo Shi Dae’s ‘Gee’, and has received much love from music fans and it even went up to #1 spot on various music charts.

Meanwhile, last week on 17th July, another Infinite Challenge special collaboration team Future Liger (Yoo JaeSeok, Tiger JK and Yoon MiRae) performed their song ‘Let’s Dance’ on Muisc Core and the viewership went up to a record high of 9.9%.

I have a question though: Who the hell thought she was?

The media of course!

On yesterday's episode of MBC's "Come To Play" (where they featured 31-year-old's) Lee Hyori cleared the supposed rumors: "When I first debuted my skin color was dark and there was an article that was saying I was an illegal Filipino immigrant. Because of that article, a lot of rumors started..." She continued, "The paparazzi photographed me a lot and I was hurt because of that... but now that I've been out for 10 years, those rumors don't bother me anymore."

Later on in the show, she talked about how great it is to be 31: "I've thrown away all previous constrictions," said the sexy diva. "Now that I'm in my 30's, I don't totally rely or obsess over a boyfriend. When I was in my 20's, all I cared about was cars, cellphones and others, but no more. In the past when I broke up with someone I felt like dying... but now, its much easier for me to accept separation."

Well it's good to see someone is acting their age! I just think it's funny that they called her an illegal Filipino immigrant... could they have been anymore random?

Son Dambi and SNSD will be performing at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Friday, July 24th. Son Dambi will perform her hits "Crazy" and "Saturday Night" (too bad the event is on a Friday night). Then Manchester United's 11 starters, which should include Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, and Korean hero Park Ji Sung will take the field against the home team, FC Seoul. Finally, SNSD will perform "Gee" and "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" during halftime, pumping up both fans and players for the second half.

In other notes from the event, hosts Mast Entertainment will be inviting 1000 underprivileged children to the match, hoping to give them some moments of joy to interrupt the harsh times. Hopefully we'll get to see both the football and K-pop stars of the event interacting with these kids, as getting some chill-time with some of the biggest stars on Earth would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Cut out a lot of unnecessary commentary or else this would've become way too long, lol.

Utada will release "Sanctuary (Opening)" and "Sanctuary (Closing)" for digital sales in Japan. They will be the 2nd single from her English album, This Is The One. Both feature artwork created specifically for the release. Utada has not announced a 2nd single for the United States, and it remains to be seen if she will. The artwork can be found at the source.

I seriously do not even understand the point of this. "Sanctuary" is just the English version of "Passion", which was released as a single 4 years ago. First she stops promoting TITO, then she releases a remix of "Beautiful World" instead of a real single, and now this? It's not like she's doing anything, can't she record some new material or something?
