EXO revealed to have sold the most albums in 2014 according to Hanteo
According to album sales site, Hanteo Chart, on December 10, EXO topped their list for the most sales this year for the second year in a row! The '2014 Album Award' ranks the album sales from January 1 to December 9 and the boys placed both first and second.
EXO-K's second album, 'Overdose,' released back in May sold 231,986 copies while EXO-M's Chinese version of 'Overdose' sold 174,576 for first and second place respectively with a combined sales figure of 406,562 copies. Even last year, EXO's repackaged first album and the Korean version of their first studio album placed first and second on this list.
Meanwhile, in third place is label mate TVXQ with their seventh album, 'Tense,' which was released back in January with total sales of 159,899 copies! In fourth was Super Junior's seventh album, 'Mamacita,' released in September. The group sold 127,445 copies to their excited fans.
Ranked fifth to tenth were INFINITE's second album 'Season 2' with 118,558 sales, B1A4's second album 'Who Am I?' with 115,777 sales, B2ST's sixth mini-album 'Good Luck' with 112,528 sales, B.A.P's first album 'Sensibility' with 104,338 sales, Girls' Generation's fourth mini-album 'Mr.Mr' with 101,574 sales, and JYJ's second album 'Just Us' with 87,597 sales.
It is noted that Girls' Generation was the only girl group to make the top ten, the list was dominated by SM artists, and that nine of the ten artists were able to surpass 100,000 sales. Even with about 20 days left on the table, this is a number that is smaller than last year when 14 albums managed to surpass 100,000 sales!
In the '2014 Singer Award,' TVXQ came out first with 283,731 sales while EXO-K fell in second place with 263,665 sales. EXO (as a group) was in fourth place with 232,813 sales, and EXO-M in eighth place with 194,511 sales. In third was Super Junior and fifth INFINITE. The 'Singer Award' chart takes into account all old albums released throughout the artists' career, but only factors in sales that those albums made in 2014.
Kris and SM Entertainment Fail to Reach Agreement, Mediation to Continue Next Year
Kris (Wu Yi Fan) and his former agency, SM Entertainment, will be pushing forward with their contract dispute into the new year, after failing to reach an agreement once again during a second round of court-appointed mediation.
On December 5, both sides of the lawsuit entered their second mediation, following an unsuccessful first arbitration meeting earlier this year in July. This second court-referred arbitration meeting was held privately, and the lawyers defending the two sides were present. Neither Kris nor SM Entertainment’s CEO, Kim Young Min, were in attendance.
The main concern of the mediation was to work out a compromise before officially going to trial as a standard civil lawsuit. However, the results were the same as the first meeting—failing to reach an agreement and only having confirmed the differences of the opposing sides.
It has been decided that the third round of court-appointed arbitration will be held next year.

Translation: “Hello. I am EXO’s guarding1 leader Suho. The members and myself have just safely returned to Korea. Yesterday, truly, for myself and everyone else, was an unforgettable day. After last year’s win of a great award at MAMA, we underwent much hardship In the space of that one year, I have really been thinking a lot. And yesterday, right up until we received our final award, there were countless things on my mind There were still countless thoughts in my head However, upon shouting ‘Let’s love’ with our members, completing our stage and hearing everyone shouting our name, such thoughts disappeared Yesterday, during that moment, I felt everyone’s faith and love for us It feels that we are one. Because of us, there is an EXO, and because of you all, there is an EXO. And EXO exists because we are one. We will remain one, no matter what happens Going forward, eternally, EXO will as ever remain EXO. And we will remain a united EXO Everyone’s blessings and the handing of the award to us by the respected teacher Andy Lau made this an even more honoured experience for us EXO EXO-L WE ARE ONE Let’s love.” (dailyexo)

Super Junior member Kim Heechul will host an upcoming Chinese variety show called To Have You on This Road (一路上有你.
To Have You on This Road is described as a travel entertainment program that will feature three celebrity couples from China who visit Korea and experience a guided tour by Heechul and one co-host. The show is co-produced by Korea and China, and is Heechul’s first ever emcee duty on a Chinese television show.
Part of the show will be filmed inside a house where the three couples live for the duration of their trip. Heechul will also reside there to view the affection and relationship between the couples.
To Have You on This Road premieres January 10, 2015 on Zhejiang Television. Its first episode will feature actor Julian Cheung, with actress Anita Yuen; former Olympic diver turned actor Tian Liang, with actress Ye Yiqian; actor He Ziming, with singer He Jie. EXO-M member Tao will be the show’s first Chinese-speaking co-host.
читать дальшеThe first episode was filmed from November 27 to 29 in Seoul. Some lucky fans were able to take photos during the show filming. Celebrities He Jie and Tian Liang documented their trip to Korea as well, sharing various group photos onto their Weibo profiles.
Heechul told Kpop Herald that the three couples seemed to like his company, and that they had invited him to visit China one day. “They even asked me to visit China with them since there is not such an odd boy like me (there). When the SM Entertainment crew heard this, they said that there is no boy like Heechul in Korea, either. And we all laughed.”
Although filming for To Have You on This Road only started filming recently, its official Weibo has already garnered nearly 65,000 followers.
The entire series will be filmed in Korea. Chinese K-Pop fans who are currently in Seoul can scope out TV filming locations while it is still being filmed!
