According to police, Park Yong Ha was discovered dead at around 5:30 AM by his mother. The cause of death is likely suicide, but further details are still under wraps. Although this news was just announced, ‘Park Yong Ha’ immediately took the number one spot on Naver and other search engines across Korea. His body is now resting at Seoul St. Mary’s hospital.

It’s been reported that Mr. Park was seen walking to his room after massaging his father’s legs and back at around 0:40am. Park Yong Ha was repeatedly saying “I am sorry” to his family and his father, who is suffering from terminal stomach cancer.

Park Yong Ha is well-known for his roles in many hit dramas, including Winter Sonata, Men’s Story and On Air. Beside his successful drama career, Park Yong Ha is also quite famous in Japan as well, with several Japanese single albums. He was also set to play the lead role in Love Song, an upcoming Korean drama adaptation of the Chinese movie, Comrades: Almost a Love Story (甜蜜蜜) alongside Yoon Eun Hye.

It’s a tragedy to lose such a talented actor so early in his life; our condolences go out to Park Yong Ha’s family. His funeral procession will take place on July 2nd.

Just a few days ago, it was revealed that Super Junior would be ending their BONAMANA promotions this week only to start their follow-up promotions with a follow-up track in their upcoming repackaged album set to release on the 28th.

Today, Super Junior’s follow-up track titled No Other is finally released! The track has a different atmosphere then BONAMANA as it has more of a mellow and R&B feel that make you feel happy. As we’ve been told that this track has been leaked, let’s wait for the official release before feasting our ears on this track.

No Other is produced by C-2, Ryan Jhun and Reefa who in the past has work with artists such as The Game, Fabolous and Ludacris. The track’s lyric which expresses one’s emotional feelings for a lover is written by Kenzie.

Super Junior’s repackaged album contains four new songs; No Other, All My Heart, A Short Journey and a remix version of Shake It Up.

Yesterday, YG Entertainment revealed the 13th and final track of Big Bang Taeyang’s first full length SOLAR album. Now the first minute long audio preview of the intro song has been released!

As we reported earlier, YG Entertainment plans to release minute long audio samples of Taeyang’s tracks for six days until the 30th, with the album dropping the very next day.

The intro song has got a very light yet epic vibe. With a beautiful melody and children laughing in the background, it’s got quite a nice morning sunrise feel to it. Check it out below!

With that, there’s only one question left–are you ready for SOLAR?

Any fan of k-pop music is no stranger to big name labels like SM Entertainment and JYP.

But out of all these companies, the most unique and unconventional group is arguably YG Entertainment.

What with all these big name comebacks popping out of the blue, here’s a little recap of what’s in store.

We kicked off the new year with Big Bang member Daesung releasing his cute and bubbly solo single Cotton Candy. Soon after, girl group 2NE1 also released a single titled Try To Follow Me. After a 2 year long hiatus, YG’s killer R&B vocalist Gummy released her Loveless album.

YG has always been a bit unorthodox and big daddy Yang Hyun Suk is known for slapping fans in the face with a surprise. Within the past two days, a lot of heavy news has hit the k-pop scene regarding the YG family members.

First off, a promotional poster and music video teaser was released out of the blue regarding T.O.P’s solo single Turn It Up. Many fans were surprised and busy pissing their undies after watching this 27 second trailer. We thought that was it but YG is the gift that just keeps on giving.

Not too long ago, it was revealed that Taeyang would finally be releasing his first full length album titled SOLAR. With a whopping tracklist of 13, it looks like Taeyang will be heating up the summer. Starting from June 25th, for six days, a minute sample will be released of a new track everyday as it leads up to his July 1st album release.

Last but not definitely not least, we have one of k-pop’s original megastars Se7en. When k-pop began picking up momentum a few years ago, this man was one of the few who pioneered in a global audience. Anyone who loves k-pop has probably heard his breakout song Passion. And if you haven’t…go listen to it and familiarize yourself with Se7en because his June comeback has been pushed back but is now set to make his 3 year long return on July 21st.

We also have 2NE1 and Big Bang set to make a comeback with mini-albums. While it’s been confirmed that the boys will be closing the summer out with a bang at the end of August, there has been no further details about 2NE1’s summer bonanza.

But knowing YG, a sneak attack of info is probably just around the corner.
