[News] DSP plays down MAMA boycott rumor

So SS501 would not attend the award ceremony.... So sad.... I hope they will be able to arrange time to attend.

BTW, was browsing at Baidu and saw a message saying Leader didn't go for recording of 'Strong Heart' and there's rumours saying that leader might be sick due to the cold weather during the filming of 'Dream Team'. Just rumours ok, no confirmation from DSP yet. But I do hope that he is not sick..... The weather is turning colder in Korea everyday, a check in the temperature, in Korea now, it is 9 degree. No wonder we see leader wearing the thick thermal wear when filming 'Dream Team'. Let's just wait, there's an interview with Sukira Radio tomorrow, lets see if Leader goes to the program.

DSP Media on Wednesday played down rumors from earlier in the day which said that their group SS501 will not attend a year-end music award ceremony held by cable music channel Mnet to boycott the event.

"We are not boycotting the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)," stated an official at DSP Media. He explained that the five-member group will not be able to attend the event as they are busy promoting their new album "Rebirth" and have to travel overseas to hold concerts as part of their Asia tour.

The official added that they are currently debating on whether their girl group Kara will attend the event.

Mnet will be holding the MAMA for the first time this year in place of its ten-year long Mnet KM Music Festival (MKMF) but several top talent houses in Korea have questioned its standard of fairness and said they will not take part in the event.

SM Entertainment, which manages several of Korea's most popular artists including Girls' Generation, Super Junior and SHINee, as well as Inwoo Production, in charge of two top trot singers Jang Yoon-jeong and Park Hyun-bin, have declared they will boycott the MAMA.

The ceremony is set to take place on November 21.

Leader just recovered from H1N1 and DSP arranged him to participate in these sorta programs in such cold weather. DSP's official announcements may even hide the truth and not necessary represent SS501's stand sometimes.

Sigh! Long time ago I am already worried about the Shanghai Persona, whether they can stand the weather, end up it is in Seoul that the weather is even colder....

I hope he is alright....
