Infinite’s Woo Hyun to Sing Duet With Female Indie Singer

Great news, Infinite fans!

Infinite's Woo Hyun will collaborate with female indie artist Lucia and their duet song "Cactus" will be released on February 27.

This will be the second project from "Re:Code," which is being planned and produced by Loen Entertainment. The project concept is to take tracks from skillful underground artists and arrange them in a way to encourage mainstream exposure. The underground artists will collaborate with popular artists, who will lend their voices to the newly arranged tracks. The first project "Officially Missing You," a collaboration between Sistar's Soyu and hip hop artist Geeks, was met with great success.

"Cactus" is a well-loved song by fans who are into the indie genre. The mature lyrics describe the heartache of ending a relationship and how the ego is figuratively like a cactus. Woo Hyun's fresh and mature voice will be a great match with Lucia's airy and slightly husky voice.

Soompiers, are there any indie artists you wish who could have more mainstream exposure?

Check out the video below and Pastel Music's official youtube channel if you're interested in Lucia's voice and want to broaden your K-Pop music knowledge.

Rapper Beenzino’s “Dried Persimmon” Tweet Brings Disturbance to Other Celebrities on Twitter?

In the midst of some pretty heavy and serious news in the K-Entertainment world such as Crying Nut‘s lawsuit against CNBlue or Park Shi Hoo‘s sexual assault case, rapper Beenzino provided many laughs through some harmless tweets he shared with a fan.

On February 19, Beenzino caused what is being called the “dried persimmon disturbance” on Twitter, which topped headlines.

It all started when a fan asked Beenzino how she can make a boyfriend. Then Beenzino replied, “Try texting him and ask, ‘Do you like dried persimmons?’”

Then the fan replied, “What if he says he doesn’t like dried persimmons?” Beenzino then tweeted, “Then just say, ‘I don’t either. On that note, wanna grab something good to eat?” After a few tweets back and forth, the fan excitedly told Beenzino that the “dried persimmon” line worked.

A few moments later, countless number of Twitterians started to tweet at their favorite celebrities, asking if they liked dried persimmons! This left a very big number of celebrities very confused and maybe even slightly annoyed.

Supreme Team‘s Simon D posted, “What’s up with all the questions about dried persimmons?” After Simon D found out that this was all Beenzino’s doing, he tweeted again, “Ah Beenzino, you Joo Da Hae-like bastard,” referring to Soo Ae‘s evil character on “Queen of Ambition.” Simon D proceeded to tweet, “I actually have some dried persimmons in the fridge,” along with a proof shot and then he asked his fans to stop with the persimmon tweets.

2AM‘s Jo Kwon tweeted, “I do like dried persimmons… I really like them… But why?”

DMTN‘s Inati tweeted, “What is up with the dried persimmons? Am I the only one who doesn’t know?”

Infinite’s Hoya actually responded to a fan and replied, “Yes, I like dried persimmons.”

Busker Busker‘s drummer Brad also tweeted, “Why is everyone asking if I like dried persimmons today? I’ve actually never tried one. But apparently today’s the day to do it!”

LeeSsang‘s Gary tweeted, “Once they get into something, they just don’t know how to stop. Dried persimmon tweets = will soon get you blocked.”

Singer Eric Nam tweeted, “Yes, I like dried persimmons. Why are these mentions keep popping up?”

Danny Ahn, Kim Bum Soo, Yoon Do Hyun, not to mention countless idol stars have been asked this question today!

Infinite’s Sung Kyu, Sung Yeol, L, Hoya & Dong Woo Become College Graduates

After enrolling in Taekyeung University in 2011, five members of Infinite will be graduating on February 15.

Kim Sung Kyu, L, Lee Sung Yeol, Hoya and Jang Dong Woo will be receiving their diploma with Applied Music majors.

When the five members were all admitted to Taekyeung University in 2011, it became a hot topic since all of them got in at once, at the same time.

Even during their busy schedules, they attended classes and took midterms and final exams. They were reportedly, very forward about their campus lives.

Since they have a lot of broadcast experience, it was reported that the Infinite members gave a lot of tips and advice to their fellow colleagues about vocals, dance and stage performance.

Taekyeung University's professor Kim Gun Pyo commented, "We decided to award the Infinite members with the 'Proud Taekyeung Alumni Award' since they have raised the honor of our school."

Only Sung Kyu, L and Sung Yeol will be attending the graduation ceremony as Hoya and Dong Woo have Infinite-H activities planned for the day.

Congrats!
