[Exclusive] White Entertainment announce HUGE plans for 2012

2011 was both a turbulent & rewarding year for White Entertainment that saw the rise & fall of Girls’ Revolution, the imprisonment of ex CEO Park Su Kang, & individual success of its artists. The company, far from industry leaders, held steady thanks to the success of Jessica Jiyeon’s “Rocker Princess” - one of 2011’s biggest films, several lucrative endorsements for Tiffany Taeyeon, as well as success in Japan with Girls' Revolution sub unit Heathers.

Current co CEO KellyRose Spires took time out of her busy schedule to give AllKFlop an exclusive phone interview about the company’s future plans.

Jessica Jiyeon says goodbye on Inkigayo

After taking top honors over T-ara’s “Cry Cry” on the latest unaired episode of Mnet’s M! Countdown, Jessica Jiyeon decided to wrap up promotions for her hit single “Last Winter” on yesterday's Inkigayo.

Jessica joined the ranks of such idols as SHINee, After School, f(x), B2ST, and MBLAQ with her version of the popular Traffic Safety Song, as this week’s PSA. Jessica is one of only two solo artists to record a version of the song {the first being Lee Hyori in 2008}.

“I’ve always wanted to do one!” Jessica excitedly told AKF “I'm so honored to have been asked.”

Jessica was able to deliver the meaningful message of the song, a collaborative campaign between SBS’ Inkigayo and the Korean Transportation Safety Authority, while fully displaying her friendly charms & unknown rap skills.

"I'm not a rapper but I had a lot of fun trying it out." Jessica laughed "I think I'll leave it to Tiffany from now on."

Later, she gave an emotional final performance of “Last Winter” alongside B2ST’s Jun Hyung, who sent the attending B2UTIES in the audience into hysterics after his absence from the previous week's episode. The two held hands & forced back their tears as the song ended. However, they were unable to remain unemotional as Jessica was later announced as the night’s winner.

With a successful single & three music program wins under her belt, Jessica has stated she plans on focusing on acting in the coming months.

“Music is my 1st love, but acting is something I‘ve wanted to do since I was a little girl. I don’t want to pile too much on my plate all at once like some people do & get burnt out. My goal is to avoid time in the hospital for exhaustion & pace myself. I’m in no rush with my career.”

Netizens had this to say about Jessica's farewell:

"I'm so happy for her! JESSICA FIGHTING!", "I just wanted to hold Jun Hyung oppa and never let him go!!! Men who cry are boyfriend material", "I'm glad she's finally done with this stupid song. 2NE1's "Lonely" shits bricks all over "Last Winter"!", and "Was this her first time rapping? She was actually pretty good! She's definitely better than a certain rapper from 4minute. Not as sexy though. I really need to stop watching the "Troublemaker" mv. It's doing something to my brain LOL"

Jessica Jiyeon makes a cool comeback with "Last Winter"

After attracting controversy with her first mini-album 'Girl Without a Heart' last month, Jessica Jiyeon has made a powerful and startling transformation back into the girl next door image that we all know and love for her new digital single "Last Winter".

Jessica has ditched the dark concept and heavy electronic house beats of her last single "Bad Girl" in favor of a soulful, R&B ballad style that showcases her emotive and strong vocals. The song was composed by K-R&B legend Insooni's longtime producer Lee Hyun Seung, & features a rap verse from B2ST's Jun Hyung.

The lyrics tell the story of a woman coming to terms with the anger and resentment she felt over her broken relationship as she comes face to face with her ex.

"My voice screaming the cold words at you keep trembling

If I look at you, the hurt I tried to suppress feels like it will explode.

They were all memories that distanced and passed away from us like a movie

Every night I made a determination that I would not be shaken again."

"Go back down your path forgetting about me

I can't stop you, I couldn't if I wanted.

If I just extend my hands out you will be there, but I won't do that.

I couldn't if I tried."

Jessica's new style is bound to please her fans who were turned off by the singer's foray into dance music & reliance on shock imagery for "Bad Girl", which underperformed on the charts after it was banned from broadcast by KBS and criticized by the Ministry of Family & Gender Equality.

Speaking exclusively to AllKFlop, White Entertainment Co-CEO KellyRose Spires had this to say about Jessica's comeback: "Jessica was being pushed by a certain unnamed business partner of mine into releasing a style of music that she was not comfortable with. Vulgar lyrics and low-rent nude photoshoots are fine for some artists, but that's not who Jessica is. "Last Winter" is a new beginning for Jessica; it signifies her performing the type of music that she was born to do, and we are very confident that this song will appeal to the public in a way that no Girls' Revolution song, solo or otherwise, has before. Please support this song so we can beat Huh Gak on the charts."

"Last Winter", which was released to digital retailers earlier today, is already in the top five of most real-time charts, and has received an average rating of 4.5/5 stars from users. The only negative reception so far has been from 2NE1's Blackjacks, who have left many mean-spirited spam comments on Melon and Soribada.

Some of these comments included, "This song is BORING!", "Jessica who? Dara slays this bitch", and "Yawn, Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe was decent but this is so lame. 2NE1 please hurry up and come to America!"

Expect Jessica to set hearts aflame when she debuts "Last Winter' on Music Bank on the 11th alongside her close friends Wonder Girls. And as always, keep an eye on AKF for more.

Jessica Jiyeon reveals her male idol connections on Idol Closet

Jessica Jiyeon gave viewers a peek into her personal life on last night’s episode of Idol Closet.

“I’ve always been a tomboy at heart. Growing up my closest friends were mostly guys.” Jessica revealed to Alan Kwon, Taejun, & Ryo Min Ri, “Most girls are too catty & competitive. I’m not about that. You’ll find me playing video games or football vs. obsessing over make-up or who’s dating who.”

The power vocalist went on to list the male idols she shares a close relationship with.

U-Kiss’ Kevin, AJ, Eli & Soohyun: “I met Kevin back when he was in XING & AJ shortly before PARAN disbanded."

"Eli & I are from the same city {Washington, D.C.} and we both attended the same middle school, so we like to joke that we’re cousins. I've been close with Soohyun since we were JYP trainees together.”

B2ST’s Doo Joon & Jun Hyung: “It’s the same situation with Doo Joon & Jun Hyung, as it is with Soohyun & Kevin {ex JYP trainee & XING member, respectively}.”

“Doo Joon is the closest thing to a little brother I have. I love him immensely and I will always support B2ST because of him.”

2AM’s Jinwoon & Jo Kwon: “I’m close with all four, but working with Jinwoonie & Jo Kwon on “Rocker Princess” brought us closer together.”

2PM’s Taecyeon & Wooyoung: “Can I clear something up? Any rumors of a relationship between Taec & me are ridiculous! I mean, I do love his ears & his chocolate abs, but he’s one of my best friends and I would never cross that line. It’s amazing how the tabloids can turn an innocent picture of two people grabbing coffee into a relationship.”

“Wooyoung is my little clown. He never fails to make me smile or laugh. I actually entered JYP as a trainee with him & Doo Joon, so our bond is unbreakable.”

Big Bang’s Daesung: “I actually met him on the set of “My Bike, Your Bike” long before I started dating Teddy, and we've always stayed close. My heart breaks for all he’s been through this year. Daesung FIGHTING!”

Actor Kim Soo Hyun: “We became fast friends while shooting Aphrodite’s Tears, where we played the younger versions of Hyun Bin & Song Hye-Kyo. I’m so proud of him & what he’s been able to achieve because of Dream High.”

Former F.Cuz main vocalist Lee-U: "There's two things Lee-U is better at than me: taking gorgeous selcas & “World Of Warcraft”! We actually met at a WoW expansion pack launch party in Tokyo.”

JYJ: “I know I’m going to cause some kind of scandal with Cassies worldwide, but I’ve never been necessarily close to Yunho sunbaenim. Whenever I was around DBSK, he would give me the cold shoulder while Yoochun, Junsu, & Jaejoong oppas were always open & warm. Max is sweet but ever since DBSK split I haven’t had any contact with him.”

“I think the five of them are handsome & talented but I guess I chose a side a long time ago.”

Taejun caught the singer off guard by asking which, if any, of the idols she would be most open to date.

“Aigoo!” Jessica screamed, covering her face “None of them!”

After prodding from the hosts, she relented: “Wow…if I have to choose…maybe…Kim Soo Hyun. Oh no!” Jessica answered as the audience went wild. “Wait! Wait! Just change it to Taecyeon! I don’t want any phone calls! I’ll never be able to face either of them now!”

Ryo Min Ri moved on to the hot issue of Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe’s resurrection & the ever growing popularity of the Femme Fresh: Forest Fruits CF.

“When they first told me that the song was going to be used for the CF I was a bit against the idea, to be honest. I didn't want it to be associated with…you know.” the singer laughed as she mimed spraying downward. “But once I saw the final product, I was amazed at the amount of CGI that was used on Min Sun, Sunhwa, & Chanmi hubaes. It was like a big budget monster movie! But for lady parts...and 30 seconds long.”

Jessica concluded the broadcast alongside the fearless hosts, who performed a gag version of her hit song “Bad Girl”, in full drag.

Netizens commented on Jessica’s revelations: “I knew she wanted Taecyeon!!! No one can resist his ears! I’m surprised she didn’t just play it safe & choose Jo Kwon LOL”, “She’s friends with everyone at JYP pretty much. Why is she at White??”, “I wonder what Soo Hyun oppa is going to say when he finds out Jessica chose him. I loved them together on Aphrodite’s Tears.”, “WHOA @ that ending! Taejun hyung makes a pretty hot woman ^-^”
