A collection of recent news items:

Upcoming SBS drama Protect The Boss (보스를 지켜라) will include a scene where Super Kidd bursts into 돈 때문이야~ – a parody of 간 때문이야 from the 우루사 ad featuring soccer player Cha Du-Ri: Superkidd and the Brave Girls to cameo in ‘Protect the Boss’. As a side note (finally an excuse to post it!), you can hear eAeon of Mot sing 간때문이야, or Cry Me a Liver, on SoundCloud.

The first press of W&Whale‘s Circussss mini album sold out on the day of release. allkpop offers some translated words from W&Whale on how the album was created: W&Whale makes a dramatic comeback with “Break It Down”.

Thanks to Korean rock is real I’ve found out about a new indie music album chart, indie.go.chart 50, where Daum every other week compiles the charts from a number of CD retailers. So far 3 volumes of the Indi-Music Chart Magazine presenting the chart have been published:
– Vol.01 2011.06 (2011.5.11-2011.5.25)
– Vol.02 2011.06 (2011.5.26-2011.6.10)
– Vol.03 2011.07 (2011.6.11-2011.6.25)
