Admin Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Actor-idol group 5urprise was formed by Fantagio Entertainment 2013 through the agency's "Actor's League" and trained for two years before they made their entertainment debut. They are called an actor-idol group because instead of debuting as singers first then going into acting, they debuted as actors first and have expanded into singing. They made their acting debut in the web drama After School: Lucky or Not.

ginger ale Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Pretty impressive group of actors/idols. I'm super awed by Kim Tae Hwan's acting in Pride and Prejudice. Surprised that he's the maknae. Will be watching out for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTXFYoung Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks God, I found out this topic. Have you all listened the solo version of From My Heart, which Kang Tae Oh performed by himself? His solo version is also the main OST of Forever Young's Drama. Enjoy! Let's me know how you think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTXFYoung Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) @ LavelyShai : YES, this is a collaboration drama between Vietnam & Korea, Kang Tae Oh's acting was beyond amazing in it. The drama will be on air in Korea from 23 June 2015 on StoryOn channel, and starts to kick off all over Asian countries from 6 July 2015 on Channel M.5uprise also appeared as Cameo on 1 edpisode, took a role as a famous Kpop band in this drama. As I have heard a rumor that 5uprise will have a fan meeting in Vietnam at the end of this year due to Kang Tae Oh's crazy popularity, but I am not so sure how reliable is it.By the way, can you suggest where I can submit a Topic about Foreveryoung drama? Because this is not only Vietnamese drama, it is also Korean drama, and I really want to recommend other members to watch this.Thanks in advance.AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY KANG TAE OH - Today is his birthday.

I will cut the clip for you guys later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTXFYoung Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 @Lavelyshai : Thank you so much for buzzing me about this full version ... I agree with you it's so cheesy... I don't know if its catchy lol... but its cute for sure ^^Anyway seeing them having fun & spending time together really makes me thrilled, so sweet ... Really wish their debut will gain a great response. <3I can't wait to hear Once More and I Sing For You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTXFYoung Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) @LavelyShai:Yeah, I am quite surprised when you buzzed to watch the full version that so early.I am with you on that expectation about their debut, I am just happy with the fact that they got a chance to debut in Japan, that's all. Whatever the result will be let it be, I only hope they just go there doing their best and have fun, then come back and show us their new dramas or other projects.. etc.. It's extremely hard to withstand in Kbiz or Jbiz in general, and they aren't even the strong boyband compare to other band groups, so I am just happy that they got opportunity to do so many fan meetings and concerts everywhere. Anyway, ha ha, maybe that the lack of interest overall in Soompi towards 5urprise made you think you are the only one here, but I can see their Twiiter fans are also very active, I bet you would know Makeme5urprise, 5urprise Japan... etc.. I also followed them too. ^^... By the way, I really want them to focus more into old school songs somehow like From My Heart, this genre fit them the most beside their great acting ^^ Edited September 25, 2015 by TTXFYoung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTXFYoung Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) @LavelyShaiWell, ha ha, I really didn't know about 5urprise 's existing until I discovered Kang Tae Oh. After that I did research about them, and just found out, oh in fact I read about an actor-group debuting in Korea a while ago in a Vietnamese media site. Fantagio did make a lot annoucements spreading out all over places, but it was sunk in between various entertainment news ... beside that, I guess Fantagio didn't really seem to push them hard to becoming a popular idol group, unlike other companies, probably they tend to push them becoming actors instead, so I am not so surprised if ppl would think about them like you said. Ok that is only my theory and maybe I am wrong.Oh, I really want to watch Tae Hwan' Chinese drama - I will check it out soon, also I am looking forward to Kang Joon new drama too, I am not so into historical drama that's why I skipped his recent drama. Kang Joon and also Gong Myung really stole my heart in After School season 1. Gong Myung was so cute on that and I can't wait to watch him in another drama - well just not ancient drama pls.I am planing to watch To Be Continued, but have no time for it just yet. Kang Joon, Tae Oh and Yoo Ill made Cameo but still, I have not checked out their part yet ^^ Edited September 26, 2015 by TTXFYoung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTXFYoung Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) @LavelyShaiOh, I have to watch Roommate Season 2, always forgot that.As far as I know, they seem to have more fans from oversea, esp. Thailand, other than in Korea right? I don't see much activities from Korean fans over Naver or Daum... etc.. I see they also have fans in China over weibo, really hope they could get more attention from this market, its good for their career overall, Fantagio need to work on plan to push them debuting in China following after Japan's campaign.I don't know about Tae Hwan's drama too, I have to research again ^^, hope this drama would help 5urprise gaining more Cfans like they way how FY has done^^ in Vietnam.I definately will watch Kang Joon new drama although I have no any idea about its plot yet.About To be Continued... I don't really follow it, so I don't know if it was subbed or not, but I saw Vsub updated. In fact I might not watch the whole show, only plan to watch the parts that Kang Joon, Tae Oh and Yoo Ill did Cameo. Well I also have no much time since I follow a lot of dramas and need to catch up too ^^P/s: Hope you will find your time to start FY soon... I know you love Kang Joon the most, but I promise you Tae Oh won't make you dissapoited....^^ Edited September 26, 2015 by TTXFYoung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTXFYoung Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Cheese In the Trap is basically a slice of life type of story which centers around one character, Hong Seol, and her relationship with a popular and mysterious student, Yoo Jeong. Kang Joon plays Baek In Ho, someone who knows Jeong's true nature & has had a kind of rough life. I haven't finished it yet so I have no idea how In Ho's life ends up, but I think he starts to like Seol. Kang Joon has played jerky characters before so he shouldn't have problem, but this is based on a popular webtoon so there will be pressure. Thanks. Absolutely worth to wait, since Seo Kang Joon in it.I can't stop replay this clip, well... he took my breath away.... guess you already watched it Seriously Kang Joon owns everything to be a Top star, the look, the charisma, the acting... Beside that, bonus Kang Tae Oh on Dreamteam Thailand: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTXFYoung Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 @TTXFYoungThanks for the link to that video, I couldn't understand a word, but it was still funny lol All I got was she called herself from his phone. Hmm odd topic, but I wonder how the boys' living condition is now? I remember when he first was on Roommate Season 1 and it was revealed 5urprise slept on the floor & didn't eat meat too much, they should have beds by now...right? lol Hi Hi... I also wonder about it too, they did have a hard time before and from what I've heard, they now have moved into a bigger room, which has a window at least...Guess their living condition is upgraded a little bit ^^Gosh, I really hope Seo Kang Joon becomes more and more popular like one of those TOP stars, he seems to have that chance, so he could bring more attention to 5urprise.

Tae Oh's response was that picture lol Our leader has no shame in asking for birthday wishes Ha ha... sorry my mod, have been such busy lately so forgot to reply back ^^... Haha..

AlexandraReid Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hey dear @LavelyShai im sure that you also watch CITT drama right? hehee.. Anyway i would like to share bout SKJ here SKJ IG:: "such a gorgeous time❤️" #thanks#singapore ---------------------------------- Seo Kang-joon offers coffee and free hugs event!!! Singer and actor Seo Kang-joon will meet 540 fans on Feb. 23, a representative from his TV drama series “Cheese in the Trap” confirmed. The event was originally scheduled to be held Tuesday at a coffee shop in Daehangno, but his agency Fantagio cancelled the event due to safety concerns, since overwhelming crowds flocked to see him. Spoiler According to a post on the TV drama’s Facebook account, 270 people who took a number Tuesday can attend the event and will be given free coffee on a first-come first-served basis. “Another 270 fans could enjoy the meeting on the same basis, and will be offered with free hugs instead of coffee,” it added. Seo once pledged to hold the event with fans if viewership of his TV drama hit 5 percent. Viewership ratings of the third episode recorded 5.4 percent. The TV drama is garnering popularity both at home and abroad, especially in China. source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexandraReid Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 1 hour ago, LavelyShai said: @MiAmour That was from his fanmeet, thanks for sharing! He actually has another today in Thailand although that one was originally meant to be for all members, but unsure about why it changed. As for CITT, I dropped it last week. I love Kang Joon, but not enough to sit through a bad adaptation of a great webtoon. Currently waiting on the members to upload some embarrassing picture of Tae Hwan for his birthday. Yeah i agreed It looks like he's so busy since he came back from Tonga. He seems to have rested only on monday because he prepared for his fanmeeting (the one that was cancelled. He was so excited and was sooo amazing on the pictures. He doesn't even need make up, indeed I prefer him without it), then went to Singapore for a fanmeeting and is now in Thailand for another one tomorrow. Then he'll be back for the free hug-coffee fan meeting in Korea on the 23rd. He must be tired from all those flights in a short period. Must be tough for him. I guess he will have to work non stop until his vacation with the CITT crew on march. Anyway, the singapore, thailand and korean fans are so lucky. And did you probably got chance meet him in any fanmeeting? LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexandraReid Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 19 minutes ago, LavelyShai said: Yeah in the past year he's been extremely busy since his popularity has risen since Roommate & I do feel for him since his schedules are so crazy, but I know he appreciates it since that means him & the members get more money. In 2014, they really had nothing. They all shared a one bedroom dorm with no bed & no other furniture and they only ate ramen. Since he's gotten more attention & the boys have all gotten consistent work, they now have a 2 bedroom apartment with bunk beds...still no couch or table since they prefer to do without it lol I haven't gotten the chance to meet any of them since they've never come to California lol I wish they would release more music & have a concert or something here, they're super popular in Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, & Japan. LOL so you're from California.. i see, And whoa i never heard that 5urprise including SKJ had a hard life living in a same room before. but why they dont need those furnitures?? Are they perhaps savings for the future? What about their company Fantagio? they didnt support them? omg 5urprise is still an idol right? They deserved a better place to live. but somehow maybe some of members living w/ their family? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
