[News] Se7en’s Embarrassing Filming Experience with U.S. Rapper Lil’ Kim

Posted on February 23, 2012 by ceciliase7en

Appearing on the February 21 episode of MBC Radio “Joo Young Hoon’s 2PM Date,” Se7en shared his experience working with U.S. rapper Lil’ Kim for his U.S. single, “Girls,” and how he felt embarrassed during the filming of the music video. Lil’ Kim featured her rapping in “Girls” and made an appearance on the MV for free as a sign of showing friendship.

“It was really cool to work with someone I’ve only seen on TV. We took a lot of shots together (in the MV) but I was too embarrassed to review the photos later,” Se7en said.

“I was so happy and excited that day, but Lil’ Kim wore an extremely revealing outfit for the MV. So I didn’t know where to put my eyes,” he added with a laugh.

In the MV, Lil’ Kim does appear wearing lingerie and leather pants, matching her sexy image. “Girls” is Se7en’s U.S. debut single that was released in 2009. Produced by the famed U.S. R&B producer, Rodney Darkchild Jerkins, “Girls” initially sparked a lot of interest, but failed to enter the Billboard Single Chart.

[News] Lee Seung Gi’s last ep of Strong heart to be ‘YG special’

Posted on February 23, 2012 by ceciliase7en

SBS Strong Heart is preparing for a YG special.

On the 22nd, a related person from SBS said, “On the 15th March, at Strong Heart, ‘YG special’ where all the singers from YG entertainment will appear will be filmed. The production team are having meetings about various concepts such as Psy being the MC.”

15th March is the date of the last recording of the current MC of Strong Heart, Lee Seung Gi. Lee Seung Gi is leaving the show in order to concentrate on his acting and singing activities.

SBS has been generous to YG artists. In 2010, when 2ne1 made a comeback on Inkigayo, for the first time ever, they performed 3 songs. In addition, in February 2011 when Big Bang made a comeback, a program called ‘Big Bang show’ was made. Yang Hyun Suk is also active on SBS Kpop Star at the moment.

Big Bang, who is about to make a comeback in March were invited as guests on ‘Healing Camp’ on the 20th, where they were able to explain about their recent problems and they have also recorded ‘Running Man’.

As if to repay SBS, Se7en who has recently come out with a new song, and Big Bang, have released their MVs firstly on Strong Heart. Because of the relationship of SBS and YG, many are curious how this Strong Heart YG special will be like.

However, because the last recording date for Lee Seung Gi was decided quite suddenly, it is possible that the schedule of the YG special might be changed.
