I always like to see the reactions to kpop from non-kpop listeners;  it’s an interesting study in sociology, that’s for sure. That now includes  Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, a fairly prominent morning radio show that airs mostly among the east coast states, including my portion of the listening area.
The show does a segment [...]

Yes, folks, you read that right. For those of you, like me, who have been avidly following the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, you all know who Johnny Weir is. And just how flamboyant he is.
Well, men’s figure skating’s very own diva, and Olympic 6th place finisher, Johnny Weir, likes him some KPOP. (And just [...]

And they certainly were not tears of joy. One would think there would only be good memories associated with the song that sky-rocketed Big Bang to success back in 2007, but G-Dragon reveals the reason behind his tears in the series of exclusive interviews with Asiae.co.kr.
It turns out that the fruits of G-Dragon’s labor came [...]

The premiere of Tiara’s new show will not disappoint their fans. A few weeks ago we reported that the idol group would be put in charge of designing and running their own online store. The group member’s efforts will be televised in a “behind-the-scenes” type program called T-ara’s World. Youngest member/actress Jiyeon was again absent.

With South Korea being the most technologically wired country in the world with the highest number of DSL connections per head, it’s not surprising they’ve won another tech-savvy title. They can now boast of another great technological feat-being the best texters in the world.

As a young child Kwon was a member of a group called Little Lulla (which had its own show). The group even held a [...]

So, while there are some crazy fans out there doing bizarre things (*cough* bloody letters *cough*) to gain the affections of their favorite KPOPstars, there are many more (thank goodness!) who support their idols through meaningful gestures, and have big, generous hearts ready to help the people of Haiti through these turbulent times.

Ever-hopeful fans continue [...]

….During the Big Bang “BigShow” to reveal his first single as a solo artist.
Many V.I.P.s are salivating in anticipation for the solo debuts and albums of both Big Bang’s T.O.P. and Daesung later this year. Big Bang’s concert series will start on January 29th and end on January 31st (in Korea of course, Sorry Int. VIPs). [...]

(I was tempted to quote “Hey! Don’t Bring Me Down” in the article title, but that would just have been cheesy. You’re welcome.)
While it’s true that DBSK is currently on their annual break, it seems fans have already grown accustomed to treating any events involving all five members as a reason to celebrate. Therefore, it [...]
