His message to his fans, that he is looking forward to include Philippines for his Asia Tour Concert and will try to bring better songs and better performances. He thanked and waved at the crowd before he exit the stage.

Finally MBLAQ released their newest mini-album, “Mona Lisa” on July 12. With this new album, they are very eager to promote a true hit that represents MBLAQ. They are hoping to create unique image from their unique album concept to a completely new music style.
“Mona Lisa” the title of their song is a Spanish electronic dance track that was produced by Ji In, Wontag, and Rado – the head producers of the MBLAQ comeback album. The song is played with analog instruments, while the lyrics itself compares unattainable woman’s facial expression to Mona Lisa and expresses man’s passionate desire for her love.

Bing Bang recorded a parody of the famous drama "Secret Garden" as a treat to their fans attending their concert "2011 Big Show", according to YG Entertainment.

To perfect the parody, they are also given a special permission to shoot at Juwon's house in real "Secret Garden."
The videos are so hilarious that even the Big Bang members can't help but laugh at themselves while watching their videos.

As K-Pop becomes popular among young Russians, many of them enrolled to study Korean language. The Korean language class is accommodating so many students that they even moved out the desk just to secure the number of students, which is twice than expected. Many of them just sit on the floor or stand up in every corner of the room. That’s how eager they are to learn the language, in order to recite the lyrics of the Korean songs. K-Pop is the main reason why they are learning the language.
