Korean rap duo Untouchable [TS Entertainment]

Korean rap duo Untouchable successfully bowed onto the No. 1 spot on Mnet's singles chart with their latest single "Merry Go Round" during the week of June 14 to 20.

According to data released by the cable music channel on Tuesday, the two beat out last week's winner IU and Seulong, grabbing their first win on the music chart.

The new song by Untouchable featuring Monday Kiz's Jin Sung topped several weekly online music charts after its release last week.

"Nagging" from songstress IU and 2AM's Seulong fell down a notch from last week to second place, while "Love is Bitter, Pain's Calling" by singer Seo In-young also dropped a spot from last week to No. 3.

Meanwhile, R&B twosome Vibe's fourth studio release "Vibe in Praha" continued its reign atop Mnet's albums chart for the sixth consecutive week.

Rock band CNBLUE remained in the No. 2 spot once again, while female duo Davichi climbed back into the top three with their latest single album "Innocence."

Untouchable Member’s Video Exposed

TS Entertainment representing hip hop duo Untouchable has officially admitted that it is D.Action that appeared on a sexually explicit video released on the internet. Untouchable is comprised of two hip hop artists, D.Action and Sleepy. The controversial recording was shot with D.Action’s girlfriend before the duo’s debut. Untouchable’s agency reported that D.Action is deeply regretful about this incident and said that it is the fault of the agency that the extremely sensitive video was leaked out.

The recording was first posted on a P2P site in March 2009. It was shot by a mobile phone before D.Action’s debut, but someone apparently hacked into his phone and spread it on the internet. The agency had reported the hacking to the police cyber crime unit and the distributor of the video was apprehended last October. The whole affair took place in private out of the agency’s concern over how negatively it would affect the activities of the new hip hop artists. But the matter was exposed to the public recently, when some who saw the video claimed that the man in the video was actually D.Action.
