The 30 second clip of KPOP star-extraordinare Chae Yeon screams nothing but SKANK. The teaser looks like 30 seconds of foreplay right before a full out raunchy porno. Come on girl, you’re freakin’ over 30 and you’re still pulling this shiz on us?
I know most of you are getting ready to throw your Chae Yeon spears at me, but I don’t care. THROW EM AT ME! I’ve said before the girl has a good personality but she doesn’t have to whore herself out to crawl back into the KPOP world. But, I guess sex sells…how unfortunate.
And remember people this is MY OPINION SO RELAX.
I’m always rooting for her, but she always disappoints, especially with her mvs! This teaser just made me cringe!
WHY CHAE YEON? WHY?!
LOL! This is sooo going to get banned!
Give her a break! She knows that she sucks, that’s why she had to go this far for the attention!
oh my god..
it is really sad to know, that wherever you are, it does not matter which society you live in, SEX SELLS!!
american, or asian culture, these type of profanities and indecencies are becoming more prominent .
I’m not even her fan… in fact I don’t really like her personality that much either. but personally I don’t find 30 old at all. You can def. be over 30 and still be sexy (like Hyori and Um Jung hwa).
I think it’s the way the MV is shot that looks just trashy. Because Chaeyeon is wearing semi-decent clothes and she’s not really doing anything overtly trashy, but that one scene in the shower is indeed unneccessary and makes the entire teaser look tasteless.
You can’t deny that she looks good for her age, but Chae yeon has never been able to carry off the right sexy concept. That’s why she never makes it on the A-list!
She’s like the korean version of “white trash.” It’s harsh, but that’s what comes to mind when I see her……
I LOVE IT! HOoooot
she iz the best.:D
SKANK, definitely but to be thirty and look like her i wouldn’t mind, most thirty year old females have lost it, so i give her probs but she should were leggings doesn’t it get chilly wearing only t-shirts
@holyhell
You do realize your comment “It’s funny how it’s seems that guys are finally aware of sexism. BS” is so blatantly sexist that I thought you were just trying to be funny. But it seems you don’t know the nuances of the word at all if you think the the Jang Ja Yeon murder case was “sexist”. Do you really think that word fits in that instance? Sexism and sexual assault/homicide don’t really mean the same thing.
It’s also funny how you say you don’t think she should be allowed to be sexy because she’s 30. Not only do you not know what the word sexism means, but you also are discriminating against older people. So anyone older than the freakish young late 10’s to mid-20’s should just die and not step into the music world ever again?
And your opinion of CSJH and other younger female singers and whether or not they are skanky or not is really SUBJECTIVE. Do you think showing Stephanie doing pelvic thrusts around a stripper pole and Chaeyon shaking her ass around the stage will get drastically different reactions when shown to a WESTERN audience that knows nothing about the two?
You have no idea who I am and you think you can belittle me for talking about sexism because I’m a GUY? Do you not see the paradox in that? Personally, I’m not a fan of Chaeyeon’s music or image either but I’m sick of it when little fangirls think they can rant and rave about the things singers’ they don’t like do, while they freaking have a semi-orgasm when their favorite groups do it.
Just shut up about it. Your argument became crap when you didn’t even know what sexism really means. And then you tell others to stop using big words (like sexism?) and you make a weak attempt at trying to shove the word ‘epitome’ into reply. You random-ass examples are hilarious too.
Oh and thanks for mentioning my name so I could give you a rebuttal. ;)
Video apart, the song is good. It’s got a good club vibe to it.
Essays are just funny(lame)! Whether you like her or not, you have to admit that this teaser is pretty out there trampy!
Chaeyeon doesn’t know how to be naturally sexy. She’s always trying too hard and that’s probably why she’s not as popular. Sophistication is key as you age, whether you’re being sexy or cute, it’s better to do it in a classy stlye. This mv is far from that!
Damn. Never too old to be sexy? Can she pull it off. Hell yes!!
I agreed with Ken. Being jealous is one of the things I can’t accept fangirls. Simply becoz, all of females singers are kinda pretty, hot and everything they dont have.
Cheap, desperate … that’s wat pll are saying … Ok! But plz, look at this century again, this mv is nothing compared to movies, dramas out there. Being sexy is just CY’s image.
She doesn’t need to know how to be sexy naturally becoz she is sexy herself <3, Understand?
Cheers!
Every celebrity’s got antis and of course they’re going to say nasty things about her, but that doesn’t change the fact that this teaser is really low class and beyond skanky!
Every one has their definition of sexy I guess……
I actually like Chae Yeon’s personality too, she seems very sweet so this sexy image doesn’t really fit her. I like her personality more than Hyori’s. I don’t think K-pop stars can really pull off the sexy image anyhow.
First of all, I apologize for the horrendous grammar and the orthograph guys. Ellie, SEOULBEATS team I am sorry about this.
@ Ken
I have always admited to not being the sharpest tool in the box.
You on the other hand my dear, are truly a moron my dear.
““It’s funny how it’s seems that guys are finally aware of sexism. BS” is so blatantly sexist”
+ No my dear you misundertood. I am not saying that men aren’t concerned by sexism or they can’t help fight sexism (thank god they do, otherwise we will never see the end of it).
+ What I am saying is: WOMEN in this patriarchal society are the primary victims of sexism conducted by both men and women. What I cannot accept is to see people, and especially men, take that word to their account and use it against people to defend the status-quo, or even worst attack the writter of a blog who is expressing her opinion on her blog.
+It’s UNACCEPTABLE to totally kill the power of recognizing real sexism by pulling it out of context to defend something that does nothing to help fight sexism in the first place. So yes SHUT THE HELL UP if all you are doing is take away from the force and immensity of fighting legitimate sexism.
Just to make things clear between us, had you and the others commentators pulled the sexism card on your personnal blogs, I would have never adressed your comments.+ Finally allow me to be an ass and pull the “you are not a woman card” AND NO THAT’S NOT SEXIST that’s having biology notions. I am the victim of sexism EVERY FRICKING DAY that God makes. Because I am a college student who works as a waitress for a man and that helps in a shelter for abused women. So if anything the very fact that you own a penis prevents you or spares you from the continual Bullshit I have to go through.
“if you think the Jang Ja Yeon murder case was “sexist” [...]“
+ HAHAHAHA! And you said I wanted to be funny. This is lol worthy on so many aspects that I don’t know how to tackle it. First of all either my english sucks even harder than I thought or you didn’t bother to read what I said.
+ I said “adress sexism in the fandom” at large that is. You are once again mistaken as you reduce the Jang Ja Yeon case to a simple matter of suicide (not murder fyi) and rape. It roots way beyond that. And then you saying that sexisme and sexual assault do not mean the same thing while blatantly ignoring the intrinsic relationship of these matters leaves me facepalming. READ A BOOK MY DEAR. “As Results suggest that a sexist environment (A/N: ERRR the Korean entertainment industry maybe?)is one that facilitates both environmental and individualized sexually harassing behaviors, and in such “climates” assault is far more likely to occur.” Hum so yes one of us has better english than the other but one of us also knows about the problems inherent to sexisme a little bit better than the other.
you say you don’t think she should be allowed to be sexy because she’s 30.[..]discriminating against older people. [...] should just die [...]
+ Once again read what I say. I didn’t say she wasn’t allowed to whatever. I said said by my book it’s easier to forgive younger pple mistaking sexy with trashy. READ again. And please look up the definition of Discrimination. You really ought to stop undermining the meanings of words by throwing them around irresponsibly. For the sake of human kind, thank you
And your opinion of CSJH and other younger female singers and whether or not they are skanky or not is really SUBJECTIVE.
+ You probably meant to say is not really OBJECTIVE, right? And hum no sorry once again you didn’t read. CSJH, AfterSchool and 2NE1 pv’s are not shot as if a voyeuristic peep was behing the cam for once, and ChaeYeon isn’t telling you that she is gonna break your neck so run :p. Chae can shake her ass all she wants.
+ Last part of your comment! HAHAHA! POT MEET KETTLE. You don’t know anything about me either.You have the right to talk about sexisme all you want but I will stop ramming your ass the the day that you will get your info straight.
+ I don’t feel concerned about your rant on little jealous fangirls that can only dislike a singer because they are JEALOUZZZZ god forgiving them disliking cheapness. And sorry to tell you but If any creaming was to occur in my pretty expensive lingerie that would be over a a strongheaded, opinionated, charismatic woman. Yes I am a Lesbian hope you don’t mind.
BTW the exemples weren’t random assed if you were a lurker of the Kpop fandom :D
Last words, you are welcome my dear ;), we all know that winning a argument over the internet makes you special.
peace! SB I am sorry again.
Wow! At the argument over this article!
I’ve never really heard of chaeyeon, and this teaser says I’m not missing much……
As you said my dear (is it sexist when a guy says this?) obviously winning an argument over the internet makes people feel better, but I still disagree on a lot of your points.
This first thing I want to point out is that since you are too lazy to look up the word ‘discrimination’ yourself, here it is for you:
treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit. There have been lawsuits against age discrimination all over the nation for older people not getting considered for jobs because of their age. Isn’t it the same thing if Chaeyeon isn’t allowed to do her thing?
But I’m not going to write a whole essay like you did, you seem talented in persuasive writing. :| Apart from your man-bashing, telling me random facts about your job, and your venting about things, none of which are really relevant to what we’re talking about.
In Korea, the Jang Ja Yeon incident is considered a murder case here because it was induced by sexual advancements, pretty much rape by the people she worked for. I guess in the broadest sense of the word it would be considered ’sexism’ but again I’m saying it’s not really everyday ’sexism’ because no one really dies because of sexist comments or behavior
Oh maybe I am starting to write an essay but I’ll stop now. Btw, you do know the terms ’skank’ and ‘whore’ (which the author uses) aren’t really words people fighting against sexism like using. So maybe you should rethink your argument because it just seems like you’re trying to make this “sexist” thing a bigger deal than it is (in this blog entry, unless you’re going to misconstrue what I mean again).
Ummmm……
Even I have to agree the teaser is just… trashy. Eew.
she’s gone so overboard with the sexy concept that it’s turned into something ugly……she’s never been able to portray natural sexiness cause she tries so hard.
it’s too bad, cause she’d be a bigger star if she knew how portray the right sexy image for herself!
There should have been a warning before that video. I’m not saying she’s skank since I obviously don’t know her, but her video was skanky. That was load of crap. If you’re going to be sexy, let it be natural. When it’s forced, thats when you get “skanky”. A lot of the things in that video weren’t needed… but hey, I guess sex does sell. I wonder how people in korea feel about this, as i’m not in Korea right now.
Oh, and it is possible to be sexy and over 30, but I thikn sexiness comes with age…and with age you can be more subtle. More confidence, and less [enter a word that accurately descirbes this video].
She acts like such a WHORE…that’s my thoughts…plain and simp;e
well dhen ur wrong.:/
Hm. I was browsing older SB articles, and I think I’ll voice my opinion on this.
There is indeed a difference between skanky and sexy. Being American, and having been around this word my entire life, it is meant to mean someone who look’s sexually attractive. Skanky, however, (or whore-like, trampy, whatever), implies that the person is using sex appeal not just to achieve an overall look, but as a means of personal gain (usually monetary).
Anywho, you all probably knew that, but I’d thought I’d just show you where I was coming from with those terms.
An artist that I can think of that PERFECTLY exemplifies sexy and not skanky is Namie Amuro, one of J-pop’s biggest female singers. Many of you may not know of her (and yeah, I know this is a K-pop blog), but try looking up her sexy songs “Want Me Want Me” or “Do Me More” on Youtube. The woman looks sexy, and is singing risque lyrics, but she does it with a great amount of panache. She acts her age for one thing (BTW, let me remind those who don’t know that Namie is currently 31, and was 30 in the DMM music video), and can perform those songs maturely. She acts on stage singing about sex how any mature woman of her age might disucuss the matter in a conversation.
Compare this to Chae Yeon or Lee Hyo Ri. Now, I know some people will read this and be pissed and think I’m hating on Hyo Ri. I’m not. She’s a genuine person who works hard for her fans, but we all know her music would not sell if she wasn’t skanky in all of her MVs. Her concept is sex with some base lyrics and cheap beats in the background to call it music. Just because she’s a sweetheart doesn’t change the fact that people like her (and she tries to get them to initially like her for this reason) right off the bat for her killer body and sexual dancing, not her personality or talent. And that’s just superficial and wrong (not that I totally blame Hyo Ri…she’s been in the Korean entertainment industry for a long time, and it’s what she has to do to earn some coin, so she can’t really stop now.). As far as I’m concerned, not does it look just as whoreish and immoral for Chae to do it, it looks like a cheap imitation of Hyo Ri.
Now, I know these women can do whatever the hell they want, and that’s their freedom. But that doesn’t mean we, as K-pop fans, shouldn’t be able to point out the obvious shallowness of what they’re doing, and that it’s not a good thing.
(Like I said, I’ve no problem with Hyo Ri…she’s made a living out of what she does, so she might as well stick with it at this point. I’m like, not expecting her to have a higher revelation, or anything. Plus, I do think she’s a good peson in general. So no one hate me now!!!)
well….i am chae yeon fan’s so some of yu…i agree with u…n others of u….ur jux “BOOOO”
aniway….uhm….2 me…i think chae yeon iz a really nice beautiful lady…she iz sexy, hot, kute…n she has a really nice personality.
