Written by On October 27, 2010

We bring you a new segment: The Kurrent. We know we can’t possibly cover all there is to cover in Kpop, but everyday we’ll be giving you a round-up of some happenings in the Kpop world that we might have missed.

  • And so it begins…  Shin Se-kyung shuts down her Cyworld just hours after news of her dating Jonghyun broke.  The malicious attacks on her account began immediately which led to the closure.  People, COME ON.  They’re human and they deserve to be able to date openly before they hit 30!  (starnews)
  • Minho plays DJ in new girl group VNT‘s MV.  Thumbs up for cutie Minho, thumbs down for another new girl group.  Kidding, they’re not bad, but not great.  (omonatheydidnt)
  • Heo Gak won some mad prizes from Superstar K2, but the taxes just might kill him.  Aaaw… Damn, the Man!  (dongailbo)
  • The ‘official’ posters for the anxiously awaited upcoming Kdrama  Mary Stayed Out All Night have just been released and…  I hope the drama is waaaay better than the posters.  (dramabeans)
  • Lee Su-geun released the MV for his new song “Huk” featuring his 1N2D buddy, Eun Ji-won. (OSEN)  Check out the MV below, courtesy of jiwonified2.

  • Nichkhun introduced Victoria to his family on their trip to Thailand.  Not entirely understanding the situation, his grandma asked him if he and Vic consummated their relationship. Bwahhahaha… See what happens when you ‘play’ house.   (MyDaily)
  • SS501 maknae Kim Hyung Joon looks all growed up hitting the runway at Seoul’s Fashion Week.  Wow, he looks… buffer.  (SportsSeoul)

    Well everyone saw the Shin Se Kyung thing coming…

  • lindsey

    I just can’t wrap my head around how crazy fans get when they find out their favorites idols are dating someone that’s NOT them. Ive got my idol crushes but I don’t go around threatening death every time a girl takes a picture with the male idol, or dates them.

    • D:

      i agree. I mean, just you’re a fan doesn’t mean you get to dictate their life! music to a certain extent since you’re the consumer, but not their lives! D:
      these crazy fans need a maturity pill. perhaps several bottles…

  • ANN365

    lol at khun’s gran. and i think jonghyun is lucky cos shin se-kyung is like way out of his league. he’d best hold onto her

  • nicole

    well she should have seen it coming. he is an idol, afterall…

  • ha

    Everyone and their mother saw this coming. She should know that this is just the beginning, they haven’t even warmed up yet .e.

    • ha

      Forgot to mention new girl group VNT o= Replacements for f(x)? [not that SM hasn't already done that]

  • Jazie

    I’m glad they are dating and crazy fans just go away gosh
    why is victoria meeting khun’s gran if they are not ‘real’?
    I think they will be like the cutest goodlooking couple from wgm if they date for real in real life
    I mean sm come on, one of your idol is caught, why not let the others out?

  • memo

    and that is why SM admitted the relationship. because they know that if the fans finds out about it, sooner or later they will break up. thus, SM does not really have to do anything to break up the two. it was really weird that they admitted jonghyun’s relationship when other artists under SM were discouraged to have relationships (set aside Shindong). its an agenda of course!

    • Mayumi

      That was my thoughts exactly! Publicising it so soon in the game was a bad mistake on their part, whatever happen now will color their relationship for the remainder of it’s duration. I’ve had…erm…experience with relationships, and let me tell you, the more people know about it, the more likely it is to end quickly due to interference. The relationships I kept secret or on the down low lasted the longest, idols should probably take a cue too.

  • oh why

    khun’s grandma, hahahahaha…soo funny!!!

    and poor ssk. they should have just kept on being secret: i knew this backlash was coming and they had to have known it was coming too…fangirls are scary…its unfortunately really.

    and fangirls don’t get this…nobody owns jonghyun…people need to learn to respect their idol’s private life and be happy for people when they themselves are happy…

  • Anna

    Honestly, idols should have every right to date. They;re humans after all. But they shouldn’t have revealed their relationship right in the middle of Shinee’s promotions, or when both of them are at the peak of their careers. It isn’t like America where everyone is completely cool about their celebrities dating. Their sales are actually going to drop just because one member of Shinee isn’t ‘available’.

  • Sup

    “It appears that the photos that confirmed the public of their relationship have shocked many of Jonghyun’s fans. Upon hearing the news fans have had opposing reactions with a few bad apples turning to terrorizing Shin Se Kyung in jealousy, leading to the closing of her Cyworld minihompy. While many others have shown a more mature attitude by encouraging one another to accept the stars’ personal lives.

    Currently there are four anti-cafes on portal site Naver. In particular, the 1st Shin Se Kyung Anti-Cafe, which was formed in March, had a sudden increase in members upon the news of the couple’s relationship. This cafe displays a photo of Shin Se Kyung that has been scribbled on and states, ”Princess-syndrome Shin Se Kyung, acting as if she is pretty” and “Medicine to cure Shin Se Kyung of her princess-syndrome.” source: BNT News.

    ………pathetic.

    boo hoo…22% tax on prize earnings… um.. In the states, it is somewhere along the lines of 50-60% depending on the amount.

  • nona

  • Nate

    What’s with psychotic fans in Korea? Seriously, stuff like this happens everywhere but not with the same degree of magnitude. It’s like there are armies of psychopaths who think they actually had a chance with their celebrity crushes.
