For all you BoA fans listen up! The singer will release a full-length album in Korea on 25th August. SM Entertainment released the following statement:

“2010 is the 10th debut anniversary for BoA. She will release a new album and meet with fans after 5 years since her Girls On Top album. The comeback date will be symbolic 25th August.”

BoA released her seventh Japanese album Identity on February 10th.

F.cuz revealed they are prepping for their new album set to release next month. A rep announced,

“Recently the members are working on theirnew album and has been busy going various schedules. Their new song will be a trendy electronic song. As compared to the bright and cute image for ‘Jiggy’, their new song will have a sophisticated and strong feel. The boys will be back as ‘kanji’ guys.”

I like the MASCULINE look. Enough of this eyeliner stuff.

Rain’s peeps announced last week the singer will release a special album consisting of four to five tracks in April. A full-length album is coming this October. A rep from J. Tunes said,

“Recording has already been completed for some songs and we are still in the process of collecting songs. The title song will only be decided after we have finished recording all the songs.”

Se7en is returning to the kpop scene with a new album this spring. No actual release date has been set. A rep for SM Entertainment said,

“The actual date of comeback will be decided upon after we consider the format of the album and its musical quality. We are expecting a comeback around May or June. So far, only 50% of the album has been recorded; however, it won’t take much longer.”

T-ara’s repackaged album Breaking Heart is #1 on Bugs music realtime top 100 chart, Soribada joint chart and Monkey 3 real time chart. You can check out their Feb. 25th comeback performance on Mnet M!Countdown below.

No doubt the song is FIRE but…

I wish T-ARA could have come back with something a little more original. The song sounds just like another Britney Spears track and the shiny robot glove in their performance was a rip-off from Beyonce.

The Wonder Girls are quite busy these days! The Girls released a behind-the-scenes video of their recent photo shoot featuring Hye Lim (who replaced Sunmi) for the launch of WG Cosmetics.
