It was also noted that because of this, Andy’s current girlfriend Michelle moved out of the home that the 2 of them shared together. Recently, when Andy attended a promotional event, he was said to have “silently acknowledged” getting back together with Sammi. As for Sammi, she attended an event yesterday in ‘good spirits’ with ‘happiness written all over her face.’ When asked whether she and Andy have gotten back together, she denied the rumor; however when asked what her current relationship is with Andy, her reply was simply that she is very satisfied with the relationship the two of them have right now.

The critics have been harsh about his singing chops, but that will not kill Joe Cheng’s passion for music.
The actor-model’s first foray into singing last September with a five-song EP Sing a Song was generally panned by critics, but the man insists he will continue doing the thing he loves.
In town last Friday to promote Sing a Song, he says he hopes to release a full album someday, though he admits he was not born with a flair for singing.
In the EP, the Taiwanese drama idol even challenged himself to dancing, showing his moves in the title track’s music video with good friend and fellow model Lin Chi-ling.
“Singing and dancing are both difficult, but singing and dancing at the same time is the toughest! I’m not born with a talent for singing or dancing, so I have to be extra hardworking.”
Joe’s dance teacher was Milk, formerly from Taiwanese boyband Energy. And while the latter may be known for his clownish persona, Joe says that he’s a very strict coach. “He doesn’t encourage or praise, he’s just picky.”
Undeterred, he takes his criticism seriously in order to improve and achieve his music goal. “My technique is very poor, so I have to do a lot of research and learning on my own.”
Asked if his record company laid the condition of his cutting an album only if his EP sells well, the heartthrob simply smiled, “They don’t say it explicitly, but I can feel it!” (Laughs)

Feb 08 2010
Newcomer singerDia is more known to many as ‘teenage Park Bom’ or ‘Korea’s Beyonce’.
She debuted last year with the single ‘0carat’ and recently in January she released her 2nd single ‘0.5carat’ which was well received by music fans, and she was given the nickname of ’scary newcomer’ with her powerful vocals. But amidst that, Dia reveals that the nickname has brought her much tears and hurt. This new singer said there has been some misunderstanding about her, which had attracted mean comments from netizens.
Dia is just 18 years old this year, but through her recent interviews, she has shown a very dignified self unlike most new singers.
“After my first performance, I was shocked at the responses. The MCs for one of the music shows introduced me as the singer who is trying to sing like Park Bom unnie, and after the performance it became hot issue on portal sites. Of course it is good to be more known all of the sudden. But because of all the mean comments like my style is similar Park Bom unnie’s style or I’m trying to imitate Park Bom, I was very hurt.”
“Actually after the failure from the previous single, I lost all the anticipation. I wanted so much to sing and perform on stage, but I can’t, and everyday it gets tougher. I was so depressed.”
But Dia said that she did not just stop there. She worked harder and aimed for success. With the strong belief in the saying ‘*인간만사 새옹지마’ she stood up strong again.
“I thought (Park Bom unnie) I should be more thankful. I want to thank Park Bom unnie ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)
