Style cast member Lee Yong Woo and Boys Over Flowers‘ actress Gook Ji Yun are the “video couple” in Baek Ji Young and hip-hop group Mighty Mouth’s latest MV Will Love Come.

Back in December 2009 I posted the rumor that Amerie got engaged. Well, the rumor is half truth. Yes, Amerie is engaged but NOT to Eric West. Amerie is engaged to manager/bf Lenny Nicholson. I sincerely hope this marriage works out for the couple because a lot of entertainment manager/client relationships rarely do.

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.”
