    Lee JungHyun who is preparing for her 7th album ‘Lee JungHyun 007th’ was in the States to gather the clothes and props for her album recently, and when she was back at the domestic airport she was caught up at the customs for holding on to ‘illegal weapons’.

    [quote]Lee Jung Hyun imported illegal firearms?

    Remember seeing the model gun that Lee Jung Hyun holds in her hands for her comeback concept photo? Well it was revealed that she had been stopped at the airport customs for illegal importing firearms because of that.

    Lee Jung Hyun’s agency expressed on the 10th that after she had gathered all her costumes and accessories from America, she then returned home with them, only to be stopped at the airport customs for suspected firearms.

    Upon closer scrutiny by the security officials, it was revealed that it was just a harmless model gun prop and Lee Jung Hyun cleared the customs in the end.

    Stay tuned for her MV release on the 11th and comeback stage on the 13th!

    The news just came out and this is just a google translation.
    After reading this I wonder how the Korean tv stations can let her get away with using fake guns for her performances... If its encrusted with crystals, then it must be okay right? Plus doesnt it usually takes some few months of advance to prepare a singer's comeback and be a-okay? WOW this will be epic!

    LOL that's so funny!

    A gun mic maybe? That would be awesome, but a bit strange to have the gun pointed at her mouth xD

    she did? was it for peace? if she did, the mic was on the handle rite? then it wouldnt be so bad cuz thats the handle and she's holding the handle as the mic and the sword is facing down... if that make any sense?

    but using a gun seems like shes gonna shoot herself in the face. lol and of course ppl will make jokes.

    Yeah it was for peace ^^ I thought that was very cool.

    Maybe if she held the gun up like they do to blow out the smoke after making a shot? If you know what I mean. But not for the whole song of course!

    It doesn't count? that sucks...it's the main source of kpop for international fans! it should count for every artist!

    I remember downloading avaholic early in the morning (7am my time) on its release day which means it was uploaded very early korean time since I'm 3 hrs ahead!! i'm wondering if the same will happen this time round

    idk but on the yesasia it says "Korean music products at YesAsia.com are sourced from distributors in Korea, and are reflected on the GAON Music Chart owned by the Korea Music Content Industry Association." ...

    i know i got avaholic from livejh and then felt bad when i think i was the first one who posted on lj. and then the sharing went crazy after that.

    u know if avaholic did horribly in sales? i dont know the numbers but what about the many fans from china buying it and even worldwide. not sure if those counted.

    hmm is that GAON chart official I wonder?

    someone said avaholic sold about 5000 copies, but that's probably only korean sales. but thats still very bad >

    but i think its mostly to do with illegal downloading. back in 1999 more people were buying albums than now. [/quote]

    that is true...

    lately ive been hearing some companies even buy their artists' cds so it will stay on top of charts. lame.
