Hello! Pro NEWS!

[reyfer]

but the blog says only aichan, koharu, and gaki are going 

Uhmmm..... since when do we use a chinese site to tell us about a japanese group visiting Korea? 
Anyway, if it is only 8 of them, my guess is Koharu is the one not going (Kirarin schedule anyone?) even though that blog says that she's going. Either her or Aika. But even if it is 8 or just one, one thing is certain, Gaki-san is going. After all, she's the one who was studying korean.

The news is from one of the top newspapers from Hong Kong, so I think the info is correct

but who knows .... it could be wrong .... so, wait for the official announcement ^_^


btw... in Hong Kong, MM is called "Morning娘" or "M娘" , not 早安少女組 (the Official Chinese Name)

I know, I was just kidding with the fact that we have to use a CHINESE source to tell us about a JAPANESE group visiting KOREA. It is like using a french source to tell us about a british group visiting Mexico. It is just weird 

[chokkan 2]

yeah, it's weird  

at first I want to find a Japanese Source before posting this news, but I found nothing .......

[JFC]

It would give it more credibility if the news came directly from "the horse's mouth" so to speak.

Finally, I can be of some use to the community as a Korean fan~

일본의 아이들 그룹 모닝구무스메가 드디어 한국을 찾는다. 이들의 내한 소식은 모닝구무스메의 팬까페를 통해 공식적으로 발표됐다.
Japan's idol group Morning Musume is finally seeking out Korea. Their visiting news was officially announced through the Morning Musume fan cafe (the Korean Naver site is the most popular Korean online community site, and I'm assuming the "official" Momusu fan club has a Naver cafe site).

이번 내한은 오는 24일 발매되는 모닝구무스메의 베스트 앨범 라이센스 음반 발매에 맞춰 이뤄졌다. 데뷔 10주년을 맞아 발매되는 이번 앨범은 한일 양국에서 동시에 출시된다.
This visit coincides with the release of Morning Musume's Best Album on the 24th. The album that's being released for the 10 year debut will be sold in both Korea and Japan at the same time.

모닝구무스메 멤버들의 내한은 이번이 처음이다. 모닝구무스메 출신인 고토 마키가 유일하게 한국을 2번 찾은 바 있다. 정확한 내한 일정이나 내한하는 멤버들은 아직 공개되지 않았다. 모닝구무스메의 내한 소식이 알려지자 팬들은 열광하며 뜨거운 반응을 보이고 있다.
This is the first time for (current) Morning Musume members to visit Korea. Morning Musume graduated member Goto Maki has already visited Korea twice in the past year. The exact plans nor which members will be visiting have not been announced yet. Since the Morning Musume visiting news became known, the excited fans have been showing a burning/passionate reaction.

모닝구무스메는 현영이 '연애혁명'으로 리메이크 한 히트곡 '러브 레볼루션 21(Love Revolution 21)'으로도 잘 알려져 있다. 모닝구무스메라는 그룹명은 '아침의 딸들'이라는 뜻이다.
Morning Musume is also well known thanks to Hyun Young's hit song remake for the "dating revolution", "Love Revolution 21". Morning Musume's group name means "morning's daughters".

I guess this is the fan club site, Morning Musume & Hello Project Reseach Center. I'm assuming the above news was taken down from the site because..

the front page news right now says that Ai, Risa, and Koha will be visiting Korea on the 26th. Final plans haven't been set yet, like the meeting venue, but the site basically says stay tuned for more info.

those lucky bastards >__< !!!



but yeah... next year guys, for the 9th Gen... Korean members!! I FEEL IT!! Magic 8 Ball says "signs point to YES"

[Reanimation]

We finally get the news from the japanese page of a korean newspaper. Cool. And they confirm it's Aichan,  Gaki-san and Koharu going to Korea.

まだ情報が交錯しているようですが

Great.   H!P plans to conquer the world and spread the H!P love is now in action!

Questions though:
1)when it says all morning musume members, does it mean all past and present members or just the current members? 
2)does this mean that all those rumors about them going to korea is false and they really going to taiwan or is a korea promotion part of the plan too? has the Korea thing been confirmed?
well either way, it's a great chance to for them to expand out of Japan.  i guess since tsunku mentions about his Asia plan, i guess taiwan or korea will be first, due to the distance and the influence Japan have on those two neighboring nations. 

korea is next, then china and into southeast asia, eventually the world will recognize the Hello! Project group. 

Go H!P!!!

[Genesis]

It probably means only the current members. I wouldn't expect all Momusu past and present to gather for an out of country FC event.

And since the Korea visit is on the 26th and the Taiwan visit starts on the 29th, I don't doubt the Korea plans were rumors. But yes, the Korea visit has been confirmed - http://cafe.naver.com/momus.cafe

[chokkan 2]

yes, current members only ~ since the past members have already graduated
