{ARTICLE} SME to Hangeng: You’re still under contract with us

SM Entertainment has reminded Hangeng, the Chinese member of boy band Super Junior, that he is still under contract with the agency and that all his activities should have its approval.
Hangeng filed a lawsuit against SME last December in South Korea to terminate his exclusive contract, saying that it was disadvantageous to him.
He left South Korea and is living in his native China.
Since then, Hangeng has been charting his career as a solo singer outside SME.
SME’s action is regarded as a response to many activities that Hangeng has been doing in the past several months including TV appearances.
Recently, Hangeng and Chinese singer Zhou BiChang recorded the official song for the Asian Games that will be held in Guangzhou, China this November. The song has topped 20 music charts in different parts of China.
Hangeng is also set to release his own album.
In an article in a Chinese website, Hangeng talked about his lawsuit.
“In Korea, artists terminating their contracts are very common. If that artist is a solo artist, the termination just needs to go through the necessary procedures to complete, but it is more sensitive if that artist is in a group, as he/she not only needs to face the company, but also the fans and members who make up the group who have been together for many years,” said Hangeng in a translation by sj-world.net, the international forum for Super Junior fans.
Hangeng is leaving up to his lawyer to work on the lawsuit while he is focusing on his career.
In addition to singing, he said he is interested in making movies and his dream is to act with his idol Jackie Chan.

[NEWS] Choi Si-won says “never dreamed of being a singer or actor”

Super Junior member Choi Si-won, who recently starred in TV series “Oh! My Lady,” has confessed that he had never dreamed of becoming a singer or an actor.
“It was not my dream to be a singer,” the singer said during an appearance on KBS2 TV’s celebrity talk show “Win Win,” which aired Tuesday evening. “I just had the dream that I wanted to make my name known quickly and becoming a celebrity was the fastest way to do that, so I went to an entertainment agency.”
When asked by host Kim Seung-woo if he had any fears about becoming an actor without any preparation, Choi answered, “It is very scary but if you don’t take on a challenge because you are scared, what can you achieve in life?”
Choi, 23, debuted in December 2005 as one of the 13 members of idol group Super Junior, which quickly became one of the most successful K-pop acts throughout Asia. He is also a member of sub-group Super Junior-M, which focuses its activities in the Chinese market.
He has also crossed over to acting, appearing in dramas “Eighteen, Twenty-Nine” (KBS2, 2005) and “Spring Waltz” (KBS2, 2006). He also had a supporting role in war epic “A Battle of Wits” (2006) alongside top Hong Kong star Andy Lau.
The pop idol recently won favorable reviews for his portrayal of fictional superstar Sung Min-woo in the SBS TV series “Oh! My Lady,” which co-starred Hallyu star Chae-lim.

[NEWS] Super group Super Junior says it’s here to stay

Marriage and military service loom, but won’t break up the band

Super Junior, the Korean super group founded in 2005, had some major changes to its lineup last year, but its fifth anniversary year looks like it will be another successful one for the group, which is one of the largest boy bands in the world.
Last month, when Super Junior released its fourth full-length album, it sold 100,000 copies in the first week after its release on April 13. Industry experts expect the album, titled “Bonamana,” will surpass the group’s previous sales record, achieved with its third album “Sorry Sorry.” That album sold 250,000 copies and topped the album sales chart when it was released in March last year.
At a time when other groups such as Girls’ Generation are eschewing the regular full-length CD format in favor of mini albums, digital albums and other kinds of special albums, that’s quite a feat.
Despite their success, the up-and-coming idol group has struggled this year. Three of the band’s members – Han Geng, Kang-in and Kibum – left the group during the recording period. In the coming year, the band is facing new challenges, with marriage and military service looming on the horizon.
In a recent interview with 10 of the band’s 13 members, however, the boys seemed committed to staying together for years to come, no matter what life may throw their way.
Here are some excerpts from the interview.
Q. What has made you such a strong group over the past five years?
A. Heechul: We really talk a lot. If there are problems, we talk until they are resolved. Lack of communication always creates problems.
It must have been difficult for you to make the new album without the three other members of the band.
Sungmin: We felt pressure taking their places, but it has also given us an opportunity to think about how important each member of the band is.
What do the three other members think about the new song “Bonamana”?
Leeteuk: Kang-in said the group’s dance moves are awesome and Kibum said he was sorry that I have to fill the space he left.
The choreography for the song is pretty impressive.
Eunhyuk: The dance moves were created by American choreographer Nick Bass, who was inspired by figure skating and short track skating.
Many people have said the title song for the current album is very similar to the group’s previous hit song “Sorry Sorry.”
Leeteuk: Maybe that’s because the new song is so characteristic of what we do and that’s what makes people think that Sorry Sorry and the new song are alike.
I think that criticism like that is better than nothing because it shows that Bonamana has made an impression on the public.
Heechul: For me, the criticism is flattering because it is a sign that we’ve found our signature sound. In fact, Leeteuk and I didn’t like the idea of [Bonamana] as the title song because we didn’t think the electronic sound represented us.
But after recording it and practicing the dance moves, I’ve changed my mind. I think the song suits us.
Shindong proposed to his girlfriend [in a numerical code] in the liner notes and his actions have since become the talk of the town. What’s happening with that?
Shindong: I was thinking about decoding it for the public after the album was released but my fans have already decoded it.
I haven’t heard from my girlfriend since I popped the question, but if she says yes, I want to get married as soon as possible.
Do you think you will still perform as Super Junior even if some of you get married?
Heechul: It’s our goal to keep singing and dancing as Super Junior when we are 30 and 40, even after marriage and our military service.
Do you have any secrets for keeping fit?
Yesung: Siwon always inspires us. Now we’re in a kind of competition [to build muscles.]

Local Kpop fans were pleasantly “shocked” on June 26 when BEAST rolled into Malaysia for an exclusive showcase in conjunction with the promotion of their Shock of the New Era Asian Version album.

BEAST, stylized as B2ST, performed to a full house at KL Live and boy, they sure brought the house down with their spectacular performance.

SHOCK: B2ST performs live in Malaysia. Woot!

Fans were already in line for the showcase as early as 6am but the crowd was only let into the venue at about 8.15pm. Before the party started, an announcement was made cautioning the fans not to push as 35 people had already fainted.

FULL HOUSE: The crowd at B2ST's Exclusive Showcase in Malaysia

At 8.50pm the six B2ST members took the stage in white suits, all looking very dashing and charismatic. They performed their BEAST is the Best intro before launching into their debut hit Bad Girl. The crowd went wild.

IT'S SHOWTIME: B2ST takes the stage

Next, the B2ST members were introduced in a mini interview. When asked what they thought about Malaysian fans, their one short answer – “So beautiful” – elicited deafening screams.

After that, the boys performed Mystery, complete with the ultra-cool head move before slowing things down a little with the ballad Easy.

 MUCH LOVE: B2ST thinks Malaysian fans are "So beautiful". 

You guys aren't that bad yourselves ;).

While the boys went backstage for a costume change, three fans were invited onstage for a dance / sing off. The super excited fans were asked to dance and sing to B2ST’s smash hit Shock, and the audience was asked to select the best performer. The winner got to remain onstage for a photo session with the idol group!

The boys soon appeared onstage in red suits and happily took pictures with the ecstatic fan girl.

LUCKY FAN: (5th from left) 'OMG, omg, omg, OMG, omg, OMG, OMG....'

After performing Special, a lucky draw followed where another fan was invited onstage to be serenaded by the boys. Miss Siti’s number was called and she floated on cloud nine to the stage where B2ST devoted their attention to her while singing Oasis.

 MESMERIZED: 'Oh, Hyun Seung, you have such perfect skin.'

'

SITI: 'Oh gawd, I'm gonna cry tears of joy.'

SURREAL: 'Oh freak, Gi Kwang has his arm around me. 

Fish! Fish! Fish!'

B2ST then performed their smash hit Shock. Fans sang along to the song and the energy hit the roof. For encores, the boys performed a medley of Bad Girl and Mystery. Gi Kwang provided some fan service (bared his abs) as this point. The girls went wild.

All too soon, the boys bid farewell to the crowd. Before disappearing backstage, Dong Woon said: “I love Malaysia!” and upon hearing the fans’ excitement, Doo Joon popped out from backstage and added, “Me too!”. The crowd went berserk.

After the showcase, the organizers announced that there is a one-hour autograph session for those who had bought B2ST’s Repackaged album. Below are pictures of the boys after the show :).

INTERVIEW: D-NA “The Rebel Image, It Just Fits Us”

[NoCut Interview] 5 member male idol group D-NA who have returned with their mini-album 'Awake'.



[Image: ^Group D-NA (supplied from Open World Entertainment)]

Male idol group ‘D-NA’ (Mika Hyunmin Injun Karam Jay) has had a comeback as rebels.

D-NA has charged in with the release of their latest mini-album ‘Awake’ and their promotions for their title song ‘Stumble Stumble’. For D-NA who had debuted in March with their online album ‘Admiring Boy’, ‘Awake’ is their first official offline album.

The D-NA members have revealed that “It seems like we have now properly debuted” and that “We are glad that we are now able to give our album as a gift to people. They say that the first batch had been sold out so we are so surprised while happy of the fact that there are fans out there who are actually buying our albums” with a wide smile.

D-NA had decided on a new concept of rebelling. ‘Admiring Boy’ had shown a pure, youthful image, but this showed a more mature image. The title ‘Awake’ also means ‘a boy awaking as a man’.

Member Injun has said that “it is an image that we don’t have to force ourselves to look like men so it fits us very well” and has explained that “you can see it as the process of becoming a real man”.

The leader, Mika and the youngest, Jay said in one voice “Rather than a really young feeling, we think that this concept suits us more” and that “we’re working naturally”.

The title song ‘Stumble Stumble’ is a dance song in an electronic pop genre and was composed and written by the composer Ahn Young Min. The members revealed that “cause we liked all the songs, we had to think for a long time on which one would be our title song” and explained that “after much discussion, we decided to choose ‘Stumble Stumble’ as our title song”.

D-NA who has just passed their 100th day after debut. For the last 4 months, they have performed, held a showcase in Japan, and started a new project. The members have all said that they have no idea on where all that time had disappeared to.

Member Hyunmin has said that “There is a lot of worry going on because I had lost weight. I didn’t lose it intentionally, it just went away by itself since I was so tired”

Even though it is exhausting, D-NA is enjoying the busy schedule. Especially Karam who said that, “My mother has covered her beauty salon with D-NA posters to the extent where it is like our poster exhibition hall. My mother is excited on the fact that her name is being mentioned on t.v.” and while laughing, revealed that “as her son, I am very happy to see her like that”.

Karam than revealed that “I have a lot of relatives who have businesses in the beauty industry, so my relatives have all put up our posters on their beauty salons” and that “I am determined to work very hard for my family and for my fans”.

The leader, Mika, said that “We have learnt how to control our conditions, and the members’ tru colours have come out. We have also learnt the know-hows on stage” and that “we have gained more resilience when we have to participate in activities”.



[Image: ^Group D-NA (supplied from Open World Entertainment)]

Mika (@Mika90628) and Injun (@Injun0309) has started the online social network Twitter not too long ago. Mika has said that “we haven’t even promoted overseas but there are people who are following me from Japan, Thailand, needless to say Singapore, and also from Brazil” and that “I think that I really need to improve my foreign languages to be able to communicate with all these fans”.

D-NA has now shed their soft hair* and is now taking dignified steps as singers. They have said that, same as when they debuted, “we want to become known around Asia as D-NA” and again revealed their dreams.

“We have become a little bit more known. This is a time where we should work as hard as we can to steady our place. We’ll have to show D-NA’s potential to develop. But we are not going to rush ourselves. We are thinking of showing ourselves slowly one by one. We have endless possibilities on what we can do. Please support us because we will become Asia’s D-NA”

ZE:A unleashes concept photo for comeback!

With the influx of 2010 comebacks over the past few months, rookie groups have struggled to make their mark in the kpop arena, but it looks like ZE:A is eager to rev things up (intentional pun, sorry) and spike the summer temperature with their comeback.
After entertaining us with Mazeltov and treating fans with a delectable bad boy concept with All Day back in April, this nine-member group is back with a racer concept. With stripes and polka dots marked as some of 2010’s most popular fashion trends, why not add the checkerboard pattern into the mix?

TVXQ’s JaeChunSu demands $2.5 million USD from SM Entertainment

Three members of boy group TVXQ—Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu—have been very constant with their actions against their “ex-agency” SM Entertainment so far, as they’ve already filed in (and technically won) a group lawsuit to terminate their seemingly-unfair contract once and for all.
Today, it’s been revealed that the trio is now demanding 3 billion won—which roughly converts to about $2.5 million in U.S.—from SM Entertainment, to fairly compensate the earnings they’ve made from various TVXQ-activities to date.
According to JaeChunSu’ claim, since the trio’s contract with SM is now void (since October 2009) due to its illegality, the profit that SME earned from the contract should now rightfully be returned to the three members. Since the whole group has earned 60 billion won in total, the trio believes each member deserves at least 10 billion won, deducting SME’s own expenses. However, they have decided to demand only one tenth of that amount for now, ultimately seeking for 3 billion won (2.5 million USD).
To support their decision, the three members also argued, “SM Entertainment claims that 13-year-long contract is needed for overseas activities, but it’s unacceptable. We members are the ones who have to pay for the damage if the contract is broken in any way, and its amount is too high to be acceptable.”
Latest reports have announced that the trio will eventually increase the amount of compensation, but the final amount hasn’t been decided yet.
Demanding such an overwhelming amount of cash may serve justice to the trio, but it definitely does not seem like an easy route. Hopefully these issues will be resolved soon.

4Minute's Interview For Tower Records,

Korean girl group, 4Minute has announced that they'll release their second single in Japan. Their momentum is unstoppable, suddenly, we realized that Tower Records had an exclusive interview with them. Check it out!

This last May 5 2010, 4Minute, a Japanese girl group achieved long-awaited debut single [Muzik 』. Last August 5, at ZEPP TOKYO LIVE, they had their First Solo Concert in Japan entitled as: "4Minute Live Energy Vol.1 [Muzik』" After the day of the concert, we made a quick-interview of the members who are surprisingly, all 1990 babies.

Q: Almost a year passed, did anyone had any changes about themselves or has someone just seen some changes about their environment?

Ji: I think, each one of us, as well as the fans, helped each other to become better, and we're working harder to meet fans' expectations.
SoHyun: I, particularly, didn't have such changes, though I'm still hoping to improve more.

Q: Your performances are always powerful. Everyone are so attractive and sexy on stage, and personally, I think, your group was the First Asian performer whom I can compare to Destiny's Child. Are there any other female artists or celebrities you look up to?

Ji: I am very thankful to hear that. All of us feel the same way everytime we perform with various artists. Through watching a video and stage performance with a variety of artists, we try to learn something good from them. We also use our admired idols as our inspiration for setting a better goal in our career.

Q: You really love dancing and a lot of Japanese FanGirls try to imitate your dancing. Do you have any advice for them?

HyunA: You have to practice hard! (One of the members laughed) Yeah! We all have to practice hard all the time. But thanks to our fans who come to concert halls and event who bring their good luck signs. It gives us more confidence and strength to do better on our performances.

Gayoon: (nods) Practice hard. . . And sincerely enjoy dancing.

Q: Are you very careful with your fashion and makeup? Also, please tell me where you buy the best brand.

Ji: I think, I'd still prefer the natural make-up. That's my best feature. . . (laughed)

Q: It's cute!

Ji: Thank you! (laughed) Well. I think eye make-up makes a strong image of a woman. It can also show a sexy and smoky character. Well, my charm point is... (points to her nose) here? (One member laughed) Just kiddin' ! I actually don't know what my charm point is.

Gayoon: My concept every time I'm on stage is usually "cool and sexy" and a lot of people tell that to me. I think, it's mostly because of my make-up on my eye area. It's not only me, but all 4Minute members seems like have this image whether we're on or off stage. But sometimes, I would like to answer people that when I'm off stage, I'm really quiet. (laughs)

SoHyun: I think it's also the eye make-up. I radically change the other corner of my eye line. As the youngest of the members, I want to look dignified, yet powerful. Well, my charm point probably is my mature look. And on stage, we can be like rascals. (Laughs) Well, we can appeal just like that.

HyunA: The eye make-up is indeed very important. Everytime we do our make-up, we make it sure that it looks something special, but moreover, the overall look is still very important.

Q: What do you think about Japanese girls' fashion sense?

Gayoon: I usually wear shorts, and when I was walking on the streets when we were in Japan, I realized that Japanese fashion is very unique that it's actually like an epidemic that girls should follow.

Q: This is the last question, what music have you been listening lately? Would you like to recommend some of them? If you like a Japanese artist, then please tell me so.

Ji: Because of the events, as well as the concert that we had in the past, I got more interested on Japanese culture. I try watching some TV series, listen to some music, and through that, I could learn more new artists.

Gayoon: I would recommend MUZIK Japanese Ver. (One of the members laughed) We had a hard time recording it.

SoHyun: "The first thing I heard recently of" Muzik "the Japanese version? (Laughs one of the members)."

Q: Busy schedule! Thank you so much!

ALL: ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!

Just for the "seen music", 4Minute has chosen outfits and leather boots which reveal their body figures. Topping off with large accessories, they look sexier and more charismatic.

Although the style this time is stronger than ever, this fusion of grandeur and sexiness is definitely an attention magnet. Regarding this, HyunAh commented, "We didn't show our sexy image intentionally, but everyone says it's good, we're thankful. I think those who are devoted to their career are the most charismatic. Usually people describe our performances as sexy instead of beautiful." SoHyun continued, "Actually even our outfits for Muzik were not very revealing, but everyone says we're sexy. Sometimes we wonder what kind of reactions everyone will have if we have a truly sexy performance."

With increasing popularity, 4Minute has to attend many kinds of music shows and World Cup activities every day, their schedule was packed. 4Minute also joking calls themselves "Events 4Minute" because of the group's busy life.

4Minute members listen to the smallest requests from fans, they even have discussions after each event. "We always try to meet the demands of fans. If they say a certain part of the choreography is good, we'll work hard to perfect it. If someone says a live performance is needed, we'll do it as well. We take great care of the fans' requests," said GaYoon, "We accept their suggestions and appear with a more perfect stage. Fans always leave messages like "They must have discussed" and I will want to tell them "Yes!" "

4Minute members are not afraid of changes and are always ready to show everyone the unique features of the group. When the reporter asked what kind of commendation they would want to hear, the members replied, "4Minute is still the best!" This line excites them the most.

아이돌그룹 2AM이 2010년 가요계에 새로운 공식을 쓰고 있다.


올 상반기 2AM이 발표한 곡들 중 무려 5곡이 주요 음원 차트에서 1위를 차지했기 때문.


2AM은 '죽어도 못보내' '잘못했어'를 포함해 '우리 사랑하게 됐어요' '잔소리' '바보처럼' 등 발라드, 댄스, 듀엣곡, 드라마 OST에 이르기까지 다양한 장르의 곡으로1위를 차지하는 기염을 토하고 있다.


특히 이들의 첫 댄스곡으로 화제가 됐던 '죽어도 못보내'는 이미 싸이뮤직의 명예의 전당에 올랐으며 ㈜금영에서 집계 발표한 2010년 상반기 애창곡 순위에서도 1위에 올랐다.


2AM 의 매니지먼트를 맡고 있는 빅히트엔터테인먼트는 "2AM이 상반기에만 5곡을 연이어 히트시킬 수 있었던 것은 타 아이돌그룹과 달리 전 연령대로부터 폭넓은 사랑을 받고 있기 때문인 것 같다"고 전했다.


한편 MBC TV '우리결혼했어요 시즌2'에서 조권이 불러 화제가 됐던 '이사송'이 오는 7월 1일 '고백하는 날'이란 제목으로 전격 발매될 예정이다.

Idol group 2AM is writing a new formula in the music industry of 2010.

This is because no less than 5 songs announced by 2AM in the earlier half of this year has taken over the number 1 spot in major music charts.

2AM is showing the unpredecented occasion of taking the number 1 spot with songs of various genre, including 'Even if I Die, I Can’t Send You Away', 'I Did Wrong', 'We Fell in Love', 'Nagging', annd 'Like A Fool'.

Especially, the song that became a hot topic because it was the first dance song performed by them (2AM), 'I Did Wrong' has already been entered into the CyMusic Hall of Fame, as well as becoming no. 1 on the 2010 first half's most loved song presented by the company GeumYoung.

Big Hit Entertainment, 2AM's management company, said, "We think it was possible for 2AM to make a hit of 5 songs in consecutive order in the first half of the year is because, unlike other idol groups, they receive love from all age ranges".

On the other hand, the 'Moving Song' which became a hot issue because Jo Kwon had sung it on MBC TV 'We Got Married Season 2' is set to be sold with the title 'The Day of Confession' on the coming July 1st.

T/N: This fansigning was held sometime last week, it was the same fansigning the PM members apologized for on their Twitters for holding a badly organised fansigning.

QUOTE

As a Big Bang fan..
I went to the Myung Dong It's Skin 2PM fansigning.
(Why I went is a private matter so pass...)

To be honest… Since I'm a Big Bang fan I wasn't going to go… But since I won the prize it felt like a waste if I didn't.

I hung around Myung Dong, ate and went shopping until just over 6PM, and headed over to It's Skin.
They checked my text and identity and I received my wrist band, and told me to come back at 7 so I finished off my shopping.

I've never been to a fansigning before… (I haven't even been to a Big Bang one… T_T)
I went there at 7 and waited in line.
2PM fans brought along A LOT of presents.
I thought, were we meant to bring that many presents?
Since the cameraman kept filming, I covered my face.

At the entrance, the bodyguard said they weren't allowed to take in their presents.
The fans' presents were all piled at the entrance… woah.. I thought, will they actually take all that home ?
(There were huge teddy bears and toys and stuff… They would take it right?)

Five people went in at a time, and I was the 5th person in line.
There wasn't anyone following behind me.
The order was...

Wooyoung Nichkhun Junsu Taecyeon Junho Chansung


When I was in line they gave me a name tag to put on my right chest.
It felt like it was so that they didn't have to say our names.
My bag strap was covering my name.
The guard told me to show my name.

Chansung saw my name and looked at my face once. But I was covering my face so he couldn't see my face. He signed and pushed the bromide photograph towards Junho.

Before signing, Junho asked me why I was covering my face. I said the camera people behind me kept filming. He said "Ah~ Cause they're filming~" and said even still it's okay… (Excuse me but… I'm not okay… T_T Public TV is embarrassing T_T)
He kept moving his head up and down trying to see my face. But I firmly stood still.
After Junho signed he asked for a handshake so I let my hand out. As we were shaking hands, Junho was meant to push the photo towards Taecyeon but it wouldn't move so he picked it up with both hands and gave it to me.
But as he handed it to me, if I received with both my hands my face would've been exposed..
Junho I'm sorry but I'll take it with one hand, cause nuna's a cool chick ! -_-;

I went towards Taecyeon.
But at that moment, I was thinking why didn't I say hi to Chansung and Junho… Why didn't I say anything…
When will I ever see 2PM this close ever again… and I suddenly started to regret…
So I was thinking of saying to Taecyeon that I really enjoyed watching Cinderella Sister… but all he did was look at me once so I couldn't say it.

And then I was infront of Junsu…Ah he's friends with our leader…I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
His skin was nice. I don't know if he was wearing makeup but his skin looked nice and soft…
Junsu wasn't signing, instead he just put both his hands on top of the bromide photo.
He was just sitting there… so I looked at Junsu's hands. He was putting on his ring. Silver rings.. 2? 3?
(This is just my thought but I think he was putting on his rings to control the tempo with the person in front of me. The person infront of me was still getting her sign from Nichkhun so if he just signed really quickly I would've been left just standing there? Just my thought)
Junsu slightly laughed and he was shaking his head and signing really slowly.
In my opinion I think Junsu's sign was the prettiest.

And Nichkhun
I thought he was going to look really good looking, but compared to seeing him on TV… umm.. how should I say this…
On TV he looks almost like an angel but in real life instead he looks more human.
He's good looking. But while he was signing he didn't even look at me once.
I just stared his eyebrows.
I was staring at Nichkhun like that as I moved along and all of a sudden the bodyguard goes "You can exit through here".
What is he talking about??? It seemed like I hadn't seen everyone????
But turns out as I was looking at Nichkhun's eyebrows… Wooyoung had already signed. It really was for an instant but it ended just like that ……
Bye Wooyoung-

One line summary: In my opinion, Junho looked the best in real life. I guess he doesn't get a lot of camera time.

+ Summary: What is It's Skin?? The fansigning looked shady -_- I got the text in the afternoon and I don't know if fansignings are meant to look like that but
It was weird -_- I'm not even a fan and I was annoyed… I think the actual fans would've been more annoyed.
