QUOTE
Shim Eunjin was a member of Baby VOX until December of 2004/January of 2005. She decided to leave Baby VOX and persure her solo and acting career. Eunjin made the decision after a lot of thinking and decided that it would be best for her personal growth to split with Baby VOX when her contract was up.
After a press conference, Eunjin was not seen in the entertainment world for quite some time. She was then cast as the MC for thee Korean TV Shows and made numerous appearances on a few TV shows such as Heroine Six Girls Show, Love Letter and Time Machine. However, these appearances soon died down and many fans feared that Eunjin had disappeared and would not make a comeback in either acting or singing. No news was heard of Eunjin for quite some time until, one day, fans all around the world recieved news of her solo debut!
In December of 2005, Eunjin made it know that her comeback was soon! On December 18th her TV Comeback was broadcast and her first solo album, 'Oopsy' was released on December 15th! The style of the album is very different from the style she had with Baby VOX. Her solo album songs are filled with a R&B, jazzy, loungy, laid back style. Eunjin has taken the nickname Zeeny as a symbol of her new self. Zeeny comes from the pronunciation of her name. Jin is pronounced Jeen, which can also be pronounced as Zeen, hence Zeeny. Fans have waited a long time for this album and are very excited and support Eunjin 100%!
New Albums to be released soon KCM Vol. 3 - Love Affair (January 30)
After a short artistic hiatus that followed the post activities of his vol.2 album Growing Up, KCM is back with an all-new CD. His latest work is called Love Affair and saw him co-operating with an ensemble of talents. KCM teamed-up with such composers as Min Myeong Ki (who earlier composed his song "9 Hopes I’m Telling You About"), Kim Kun Woo (that came up with the melody of MC Mung's "I Love U oh Thank You"), and Shin In Soo (the composer of Fly To The Sky's "Even Though My Heart Hurts") among other potential contributors. Love Affair offers overall 15 songs that once again come marked with KCM's romantic touch and of course his beautiful alto voice. Presenting his usual professional sound with the aim to also offer space for improvement, KCM's latest works including "Today 1 Year Ago" (Track 4), "Shadow" (Track 10), and "Still Love You" (Track 11) among other highlights promise to please music lovers. Finally of course it's up to KCM's devotees to decide whether his latest shower of R&B, dance and hip-hop rhythms is able to make the grade. -

I like the sound of that. I watch various Korean variety shows and all of them lately have someone singing "oopsy!" in it. So glad and happy to hear she's getting more and more popular. 
I really don't want SS501 to reach number one. IMO, that song isn't worthy of a number one spot.
