[2011.05.18] Wheesung's schedule from official fanpage



May 23rd has been marked as 'Immortal Classic 2' recording. It seems likely that Wheesung will be a judge on the show.

That means there will be judges after all, but not sure what the percentages will be like for audience votes and votes from judges.

[2011.05.18] IU on Idol Chart Show (Income)




Important parts translated

IU came in 3rd place. (Lee Seung Gi in 2nd place and GD in 1st place.) In 2010, her CFs were worth 200 million won (about 200,000 USD). Last year, she filmed 7 CFs and so far this year, she has already filmed 5 CFs. (Note: This count is only accurate as of April 6th, since she mentioned so on Radio Star).

Her total annual income amounts to 5 billion won (about 5 million USD). A 19 year old girl who earns 5 billion won! Chaebol girl! (*Note: Chaebol refers to large and powerful Korean family business conglomerates, e.g. Hyundai)

Last year, she earned 1.4 billion won just from CFs, but this year she earned 2 billion from CFs and 3 billion from music sales. This does not include income from events and appearances on variety programs.

The last part is just a cut from Radio Star saying she manages her finances with the help of her mum.

(*Note: IU has done 8 CFs so far in 2011. Alicia, Samsung Galaxy S Hoppin, IhoppinU, Home Plus (x2), Mexicana, T-Store, S-Oil. It's rumoured that there will be a milk CF for Namyang Dairy as well.)

Loen Entertainment slams speculations about IU receiving jaw surgery

Netizens are buzzing over a picture of IU that was uploaded onto the website of a facial plastic surgery clinic.

Noting that the clinic specializes in jaw surgery, netizens wondered whether the picture was taken after she had undergone surgery herself. After all, it’s normal for celebrities to pose for a picture with doctors if they get sponsorships from their clinics.

The speculation led Loen Entertainment to clarify the matter through TV Daily on May 20th. They stated, “Rumors of her getting jaw surgery are completely unfounded. The clinic pictured in the photo does specialize in jaw surgery, but they also do dermatology as well. IU went to the clinic once or twice in 2009 for skin care, but she hasn’t returned since. It’s weird that people think that she automatically received surgery because she took a picture in a clinic. There are pictures of other celebrities with that clinic and we’re gravely upset that it’s only IU who received such rumors.”

They continued, “We would just like to thank everyone for their interest in IU, but as she is still young, we ask that you please refrain from creating rumors that will hurt her.”

[2011.05.20] Immortal Classic 2 updates

Earlier, it was reported that the audience will have a say in the results of the show too.

Quote

1번과 2번 도전자가 승부를 가린 뒤 다시 3번 도전자와 승부를 겨루는 방식인데, 경연 순서는 무작위 추첨에 의해 결정된다.
제작진은 ‘불후의 명곡2’ 우승자가 부른 미션곡을 모아 앨범을 내는 방안도 검토하고 있지만 음원 공개는 하지 않을 방침이다.

After the first and second contestants challenge one another, the winner will challenge the third contestant and so on, but the order will be assigned at random through drawing lots.
According to the production crew, they are considering plans to record an album with all the songs sung by the winners on 'Immortal Classic 2', but the songs will not be released on online music sites.
