Then, 2AM’s Jinwoon made an appearance in the Goodbye My Love MV. Now, 2PM’s Nichkhun has been selected as the next JYPE artist to enjoy the spotlight of 8eight’s upcoming MV.
In the MV teaser of 8eight’s single The End is Coming (이별이 온다), which was played during the ending credits of television program, Nichkhun appeared as the main lead, wearing an all-white attire. There were no prior news of his being cast in 8eight’s MV so it was definitely an unexpected surprise to find him in it.
If the emotional track isn’t getting to you, perhaps Nichkhun’s appearance in the MV will. There hasn’t been much of an opportunity to behold his acting skills so hopefully he will be able to showcase another talent of his through 8eight’s MV. [endtext]

Critical: Spanish matador Jose Tomas is gored in the groin during a national fair in Aguascalientes, Mexico
One of Spain's leading matadors was seriously injured in Mexico when a one ton bull gored him in the groin and hurled him into the air, his manager said yesterday.
Jose Tomas received an emergency transfusion of 17 pints of blood after he was gored by a bull named Navegante in the Mexican city of Aguascalientes.
The bull's horn punctured a vein and an artery, manager Salvador Boix told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser
Stricken: The popular matador needed 17 pints of blood and doctors operated at the bullring without anaesthetic
Transfusion: Doctors asked members of the crowd to donate A type blood to help Mr Tomas
Mr Tomas, one of Spain's most popular matadors, has a relatively rare blood type - A - and bled so heavily that bullring officials appealed over the arena loudspeakers for compatible donors.
Doctors operated on the 34-year-old immediately to stabilise him, and he underwent three hours more surgery at a hospital later on.
Mr Boix said: 'Now he has new blood and is in intensive care, waiting to see how things evolve.'
Mexican television footage shows the matador working the animal with his cape, when it makes a quick turn and catches him in the groin, lifting him into the air for several seconds and shaking its head with the stricken matador suspended from its left horn.
Spanish newspaper El Pais said his injury was so serious that doctors did not even taken time to anaesthetise him.
Mr Tomas is known for a daring bullfighting style in which he gets particularly close to the bull.
In 2002, at the peak of his career, he suddenly retired without saying why
But in 2007 he returned to the bull ring, and told one interviewer 'living without bullfighting is not living'. Since his return, he has suffered a number of serious injuries in Spain [endtext]

Stretching themselves: Princess Beatrice, third from left, in Team Caterpillar led by Holly and Sam Branson
Like thousands of others, they were there to support their daughter through the ups and downs of the London Marathon.
And Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York couldn't have been more proud as Beatrice, 21, finished the race tied to 33 green tutu-wearing friends by bungee cords.
Running for her mother's Children In Crisis charity with 'Team Caterpillar', Beatrice, became the first royal to complete the race and also set the record for the largest number of runners to finish a marathon tied together.

Triumph: Beatrice is embraced by boyfriend Dave Clark and then gets a big hug from her mother, the Duchess, after finishing the marathon
The Duchess of York, who also watched with her other daughter Eugenie, 20, told the BBC: 'For so long I've been trying to get her fit and now she's showing me up today.
I've just decided that if she's such a good role-model to me then next year I'm going to do it.'
Sir Richard Branson slipped on a pair of wings for the race, but the fastest celebrity to finish the London Marathon was Emerdale actor Tony Audenshaw, dressed as a baby.
Audenshaw, who plays Bob Hope on the ITV1 soap, finished in three hours and 13 minutes and was also the fastest runner ever dressed as a baby, breaking a Guinness World Record.
There were 37,000 runners aiming to complete the 26.2-mile course and among the crowds was Branson, whose Virgin empire took over sponsorship of the event for the first time.

Sir Richard made it round in five hours, two minutes and 24 seconds while the caterpillar took five hours, 13 minutes and four seconds.
At the end of the run Branson said: 'My legs just kept going and going. It was a fabulous day.'
Other world records fell thick and fast at the marathon, as runners dressed as cartoon characters, super heroes and even The Angel of the North, who took five hours, 24 minutes and four seconds to complete the course.
The first home was David Ross, 42, from Sutton, dressed as Fred Flintstone and brandishing an inflatable club.
Huge: George Bingham was wearing the 1/12 scale model of The Angel of the North, which took him almost ten minutes for him to get to the start line

His time of three hours, seven minutes and 34 seconds earned him the title of fastest cartoon character.
The City sales account manager, who was running his 175th marathon, said: 'I got a bit tired saying 'Yabba Dabba Doo, but it's a very proud moment. It's been a good day.'
Police officer Jill Christie, 27, from Brentford, north west London, who was dressed as Superwoman, became the fastest female dressed as a super hero, finishing in three hours, eight minutes and 55 seconds.
The fastest leprechaun was Ben Afforselles, 42, a financial analyst from Hamstreet in Kent.
He finished in three hours nine minutes 40 seconds, while the fastest runner dressed as an animal was Kevin Robins, coming home in three hours 30 minutes and one second.

On SBS Star Golden Bell, she introduced the newest members, Raina, Nana and Lizzy.
She said, “It’s good that we have a lot of members because now the practice room is packed and the atmosphere is lively. However, it’s bad because when we used to have a small number of members, our manager would call us by our names. Now that we have eight members, he refers to us in numbers. It takes a longer time to take attendance.”
She added, “The worst part is the income.”
She joked around by forming a coin with her fingers. When you have more members, you have to divide the money into smaller parts.
Jungah was asked about why they got so many new members. She answered, “We used to be older than all the other idol groups. I think they added new and young members to the group to lower our average age.”

A grey day: Scarlett Johansson (left) and Gwyneth Paltrow both arrive at a photocall in Beverly Hills for Iron Man 2 with similar dresses
As the 'new girl' in the Iron Man movies, Scarlett Johansson must have spent hours choosing the right outfit to wear for her first cast photocall.
So it must have been a tad embarrassing for the actress at the Iron Man 2 photocall last night as her co-star Gwyneth Paltrow also opted for the same shade of dress.
The two women wore similar fitted, knee-length grey dresses, wore their blonde hair loose and nude-coloured lipstick.
Rather tellingly, the two women weren't pictured beside each other - strategically posing with Robert Downey Jnr and director Jon Favreau in between them.
Johansson, 25, showed off her hourglasses figure in a pale grey Roland Mouret dress and Christian Louboutin heels, while Paltrow, 37, flattered her svelte physique in a grey shift dress from Victoria Beckham's Spring/Summer collection and platform sandals.
The glamorous pair joined Downey Jnr, Favreau and co-stars Mickey Rourke and Don Cheadle at the press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, ahead of the film's world première on Monday.
The premiere was originally due to take place in London, but the decision was taken last week to move it to LA due to the flight disruption caused by the Icelandic volcano eruption.
Curvy: Johansson's Roland Mouret dress clung to her hourglass figure in all the right places
The two women's apparent lack of discussion about what they were wearing to the photocall will fuel further speculation they weren't friendly.
Having starred in the first film as Pepper Potts, Paltrow was reported to be upset role as the film's sex symbol was being replaced by Johansson.
To add insult to injury, Paltrow was missing from the promotional posters from Iron Man 2, while Johansson - dressed in a leather catsuit as the Black Widow - did feature in the images.
However, Paltrow's representative insisted she was 'not at all upset' about being missing from the posters.
The gang's all here: The women joined (L-R) Mickey Rourke, director Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jnr and Don Cheadle
Playing down reports of a rivalry, Johansson said: 'I was so lucky because I had Gwyneth to counterbalance all that testosterone. It certainly was a bit of a boys’ club.
'Luckily I am entertained by all of that. I think that for the guys this movie was their playground, they had all of the big toys and all of the big action sequences.
'Luckily I exuded enough femininity to kind of quieten them down a little bit.'
Last year, Johansson denied reports she had sought dieting advice from Paltrow in a bid to slim down for her action role in the film.
She said: 'There was this rumour mill cranking out stories that I had lost 14 pounds - I could never lose 14 pounds. I hate seeing these ridiculous articles where [tabloids] guess someone's weight.
'I have a tumultuous relationship with (my weight) because I love to get ready for the red carpet, but being on it is very uncomfortable. It's so freakish and weird. I get flop sweats, dry mouth, heart palpitations, all over panic.'
