Digital Disk is a new technology invented by Korea. It is very similar to ipod.You only need a headphone or a speaker to play the music. It helps prevent copying and burning illegal Cds. A lot of Korean singer like Rain and SG wannbe used this type of technology. This is the first time for female artists to release a album in the form of Digital Disk. Many people decided to buy IVY and YoungPa’s Digital Disk as a part of their collection.

  Since filming movie, 《十分愛》, Linda Chung Ka Yan received critical acclaim and became the new darling in the film industry. Many film projects have been interested in signing Linda.

Linda is currently filming a movie with Shawn Yue Man Lok and Chan Kwan. The movie is directed by Ma Chor Sing. Yesterday, Linda filmed a scene with Shawn until the early AM hours in Central district. In the scene, Shawn wanted to impress Linda by driving her in his Beetle car full of fresh flowers. However Linda was unfazed and started arguing with Shawn on the street instead. Chan Kwan acted as the middle man for the couple.

When Linda accepted reporters' interviews in the morning, her voice was hoarse. "I was already sick. After filming the crying scene from last night, I truly lost my voice!"

Hard bodied, sexy singer, Mina (36 - damn, don’t she look great?!) who was discovered at the 2002 World Cup games in Korea, has released an new hiphop/dance album, “Minatasia” in Korea and China at the same time.

However, her image for the 2 markets will be different. For China, she will maintain her sexy concept, wearing minimal clothing, whereas for Korea, she will keep the clothes on to project a more hiphop-cool look for the ultra conservative domestic fans. Yah right. Someone should wake up and smell the Chong-guk-jang because there are so many popstars out there who are going to new lows with their slutty bare-all outfits - one more won’t hurt. Besides, Mina has a fabulous athletic build, which will set her apart from the rest.
