GD Should Plagiarize This!
Just kidding. It’s funny because I could have sworn that imitation was the sincerest form of flattery, but I guess in this day and age where there are hundreds of millions of dollars and won to be made, it’s no laughing matter, huh? In light of all the recent events and accusations going around, I’ll insert [...]
2AM Shows Some Skin…
…for the October issue of Men’s Health magazine, and the fangirls and ajummas are going nuts while the ajusshis suck in their bellies and daydream about the good ‘ole days. Although the 2AM balladeers have not been promoting as of late, it looks like they have not let the drama surrounding their hyperactive afternoon counterparts [...]
Tuned In: Koreans on Primetime TV
Autumn and post-Emmy awards only mean one thing in Hollywood and that is: Fall TV Premiere Season. But, for someone who spends most of her few available hours of mindless amusement surfing the “super portable screen”, ie. my laptop and the interwebs, rather than surfing the hundreds of DirecTV channels of the small screen, turning [...]
YG opens up about accusations
It’s been a successful past few months for YG Entertainment – 2NE1 exploded onto the music scene, and G-Dragon’s first solo effort is already the best-selling album of 2009. But, as a once-great multi-monikered rapper once said about success: “‘Mo’ money, mo’ problems.” Persistent plagiarism allegations have been lobbed at the company as of late, [...]
What Have They Done To Super Junior M?!
I have had it with Korean Numero Magazine. Why must they continue to “jack up” Korean celebrities in their attempts to be avant-garde? In a recent photo shoot for the magazine, Super Junior M was literally glossed over to high heaven. Too much fur, too much eyeshadow, too much lip gloss, not enough Zhou Mi, [...]
YG’s Fate Is Determined…
It seems that YG Entertainment will soon be feeling the heat of their own Kpop controversy. A few weeks ago, Big Bang leader/solo act G-Dragon was accused of plagiarism when netizens spotted the similarity between two tracks from his first solo album “Heartbreaker” and two songs by Western artists Flo Rida and Oasis. After enough [...]
G-Dragon and Dara say “Hello”
Attention Daragon supporters! Today is your lucky day! G-Dragon recently did a showcase at Global Gathering, and videos and fan cams of his performances are already clogging the message boards and blogs online. G-Dragon allegedly performed five songs from his debut album, including “Heartbreaker” and “Breathe”, and of particular note, the first live performance of [...]
T-ara Gets Hip
Now we all remember T-ara. You know, the cute group who debuted as a ballad group, then lent one of their members to an older more experienced vocal group combination, then cut a few members, then added some new members, then came back together with a “sorta hardcore girlish concept, then dropped it and went [...]
KPOP Parodies Make Me LOL
And by “LOL”, I mean, laugh so hard I nearly lose control over my bladder, can barely catch my breath, and make my friend (whose office is next door to mine) inquire via G-chat if I am “okay”. These were just what I needed to brighten up this grey, and slightly dreary (where I am), week. From the brilliant [...]
Supernova and T-ara Collide in “Time to Love”
T-ara and Supernova have conveniently combined forces (they are labelmates under Mnet Media) to unleash their single “T.T.L.” (Time To Love). Forming part of this power(pop) group are Soyeon, EunJung, Hyomin and JiYeon from the newly debuted, fresh-faced and squeaky-clean girl-group T-ara, and Jihyuk, Kwangsoo and Geonil from the RAP/R&B/POP one-hit-wonder-of-yesteryear, Supernova, who debuted in 2007 and have had a [...]
