There have been many rumors of Stephanie traveling back and forth from America to Korea and now we know why. On the official website of the Los Angeles Ballet "Stephanie Kim" is listed under "Dancers for Season 5 2010/2011."

There have also been rumors of Stephanie taking a leave of absence from school. Although it is known that she can't participate in "idol" activities while in school, this performance may not take away from her studies since her major is dance.

Performance calendar for the Los Angeles Ballet will be available August 16. We will try to see which performances Stephanie will take part in.

(Also, we realize that there may be no clear connection between Stephanie Kim on the Los Angeles Ballet website and CSJH Stephanie Kim, but we feel that it is safe to assume they are the same person.)

Thanks to tenjo-soul at the Official CSJH Soompi Forum.

Will only post of photos of Dana and Sunday if anymore are released. Right click and select 'view image' to see full size:

::CSJH Balloons::
Their Balloon Color is Pearl Pink!
*I sent a message to Gazmo yesterday to see if he might know how we can get the offical fan balloons (I also saw that comment on his Twitter by S#U so hopefully he'll let us know!)
*If we cannot I was thinking we could make some custom ones its around 40 dollars for 50 custom. But we couldn't find them in pearl pink just light pink, BUT we did find pearl pink plain ones wish is 20 dollars for 100 pearl pink plain!
*Anyone wanting to chip in on purchasing these I'd appreciate it.
If there's no one that can we will buy the pearl pink 100 pack and hand them out at the concert!

::CSJH Glow Sticks::
*They do not have an official glow stick color BUT its been suggest we use pink colored glow sticks to support them during their performance!
*You can use a sharpie to draw a # sign on them, or if you get more then one try to make the # symbol on them!
*If people again want to pitch in we can buy a pack of 50 pink glow sticks for 24.50!
*I am unsure if I will be able to buy this by myself, but I will try!

::Other Signs of Support for CSJH The Grace::
*Pink Roses!
*If you will be close to the stage I would like if all S#apley's buy a single pink rose, and tie a message onto it for CSJH the Grace! Any message you would like to share "CSJH FIGHTING" "I LOVE CSJH" try to avoid singling out one member of the group though as any of them could pick it up!
*I will find a few phrases in Korean and share them with everyone for this project!

*T-Shirts
*I wanted to make a Support T-Shirt for CSJH The Grace previously for HBC but I didn't go, I did make a couple designs though and put them up on Cafe Press, if anyone else wants to make a shirt and share it please do! Home-made is still supportive!

Overview!
Lets do our best! All CSJH Fans please help. We all need to remember sometimes how wonderful these girls truly are, and try to let them know they have our support here in the USA as well!

Anyone attending the concert please know I will be handing out balloons if we cannot get our hands on official we will have custom Grace balloons or plain pearl balloons! If you are Shapley try to help support our girls!

Glowsticks are a tentative maybe at this point!

Anyone going to SMTown Live '10 that wants to help in any way, including handing out balloons to Shapleys at the concert please contact me!
I have twitter and facebook, or you may e-mail me at psyhco_bunnie@hotmail.com

Please pass the word on so all Shapley's know this! Share this post, or re-post this message! Any suggestions on how to get our message out more please let me know ^^.

If there is anything else, that you think, we could do to support CSJH The Grace please let me know!

Here is the news from CSJH Daum Cafe:

“Hello, how are you?
This is GAMZA, the operator of GAIA : Korean CSJH the Grace Fan cafe.

I would like to notify that Lina, Dana, Sunday are participating at the upcoming SMTOWN LIVE World Tour. Unfortunately, Stephanie is unable to participate.
I am hoping that many Shapleys abroad will go and support the three members who would have rehearsed hard for Shapleys all over the world, as it has been a long time we met each other.

It will be nice if Shapleys could gather together in one group in each concert arena (LA, Shanghai, Tokyo) and watch the concert as one big group.
Also, we do not have a set representative glow sticks assigned to us at the moment so if you could purchase the pink glow sticks and form a # shape it will be really nice and much appreciated.

Let’s show the three members and other SM artists and their fans Shapley’s presence at the SMTOWN LIVE concert!

Regards, GAMZA

SHINee’s leader Onew is on a roll. After finishing his first musical, Hey, Bro!, Onew is now set to star in the musical, Rock of Ages.Onew is so dorky! He doesn’t fit the character of a rocker at all but he’s quite talented on stage so we’ll see how it goes. It will begin it’s run on September 15th and will add or subtract dates depending on it’s ticket performance.

“After a successful run with ‘Hey, Bro!’ SHINee’s Onew will now transform into a rocker for yet another musical, ‘Rock of Ages.’

‘Rock of Ages’ is a jukebox musical comprising of classic 80s rock hits including Mr. Big’s ‘To Be with You,’ Quiet Riot’s ‘Cum on Feel the Noize’ and Twisted Sister’s ‘I Wanna Rock.’

Onew was triple casted along with actor-singer Ahn Jaewook and rock band Trax’s Jay in the role of Drew who dreams of becoming a big rock star like Stacee Jaxx (to be played by Shin Sungwoo and Jung Chanwoo) but is tied down by his rather dim reality.

CSJH the Grace’s Dana and Sunday along with musical actress Moon Hyewon have been casted as Sherrie who leaves her hometown in the hopes of making it big in the city as an actress, but becomes a stripper along the way and of course, falls in love with Drew.

Representative Kim Sunmi from M Musical Company said of the musical, “It was a big hit on Broadway so there is some pressure in premiering it here. But our hope is to contribute to the diversity of the musical genre for the Korean audience.”

We usually don't update private Cyworld pictures, but this time we are making an exception. The following pictures were taken in October 2009 with her mother and aunt (I am pretty positive it is in California, USA).

As a side note, I also realize there are some rumors regarding a comeback in May. Based on the past false alarms, I'm not posting anything until some comes from Avex or SM.

Thanks to KimjaE** at Soompi Forums for the heads up. Original post is here.

Note: For those of you who follow us on Twitter, you will note that I wanted to publish this article once a clear explanation of the facts was released. As in the credits, this articles is from Seoul Beats, and I feel that this is probably a reliable, un-biased account of the situation. A majority of the article focuses on TVXQ, but since I know many Cassiopeia support the girls and that the TVXQ information is important to understanding, I shall leave it in. Important pieces have been bolded.


Avex and SM Burn Their Bridges
SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo Man has announced that he will be stepping down from his current position of Director of Registration, and taking his past position on SM’s production staff.

As a result of this change, Lee Soo Man will no longer be a primary voice in SM’s business ventures and decisions. However, he nonetheless holds almost 30% of SM’s shares, which maintains his current position as SM’s primary stockholder.

It should be clarified that Lee Soo Man is not and has never been CEO of SM Entertainment. He started in the industry as a singer, but later on founded SM Entertainment through his formation of H.O.T. and S.E.S. The first CEO of SM was Kim Kyung-wook, who resigned from his position in 2005. The current CEO of SM Entertainment is Kim Young-min. Producers such as Lee Soo man have control over the training and production of SM’s artists. However, only the CEO and other executive board members have the power to control the artists’ contracts.

Just my opinion, but I don’t really believe that the news of Lee Soo Man’s change of position itself is a huge deal. The man has taken a backseat role to much of SM’s latest business activities, lately. No wonder he had the time to try his hand at winemaking while the DBSK lawsuit scandal was at its hottest during the autumn.

Rather, what may be of greater interest is the news that Japanese entertainment holding company, Avex Group, has sold off all of its shares of SM Entertainment, effectively ending their close, long-running business relationship. All of Avex’s 2,479,203 SM shares have been sold to Neowiz Bugs Corporation, a Korean internet and online game company.

Within the context of K-pop, Avex is best known for its overseas management of various SM artists, most notably DBSK–or Tohoshinki, as they are known in Japan.

Not much more has been revealed about these recent developments in SM’s business structure. However, the termination of SM and Avex’s relationship has raised many questions about DBSK’s future. DBSK’s dual career with both SM and Avex effectively allows for it to be a primary bridge between the companies. Now that the shareholding bridge between SM and Avex has been burned, what does this mean about SM artists managed under Avex? What does this mean about DBSK? There’s not enough information to make sound speculations just yet (although you can bet that I’ve got them, the amateur DBSK lawsuit drama analyst that I am), but it looks like the recent quiet period in the DBSK lawsuit drama might be ending soon.

This is a project organized by Tenjo*Soul from the CSJH Soompi Thread. The goal is to unite all fans of CSJH to send a message to SM Entertainment expressing a desire for the girls' Korean comeback.

Any important updates with the project will be posted here and the Twitter account. If you have any direct questions about the project, please use the links below.

As of now, a draft statement has been written to send to SM Entertainment. The statement can be viewed on Soompi or at Shapley United. All views can be expressed in those two places (it will not be posted here until participating members give it the green light).
