It’s been reported that singer Goto Maki (28), who recently resumed her activities after a 2.5 year hiatus, will be getting married. According to sources, Goto will be getting married to an office ... Read More »
Lip Service‘s official Twitter tweeted the above picture out, and besides them making a return, the most important thing is that there are now three names, not two. BiPA, CORA, and ANNA, the latter of which is the name of the new addition they teased out earlier. [Lipservice_Upgrade] BiPA CORA and ? pic.twitter.com/DWG8bdmVp2 — Lipservice_official (@lipservice67) July 8, 2014 Also, ... Read More »
With their latest comeback “Touch My Body”, SISTAR proves that even their more easygoing singles can bring enough heat to power the long summer months. If “Touch My Body” surprises, it’s with its relatively laid-back hip-pop beat. SISTAR singles usually vacillate between sensual disco numbers and energetic pop songs, so a more subdued, warm backing track is a pleasant shift. ... Read More »
CREAM is back with a music video for “PARTY CHAKKA-MEN“, through which they’ve graciously provided me with a new life motto. PARTY & BULLSHIT! PARTY & BULLSHIT! PARTY & BULLSHIT! PARTY & BULLSHIT! PARTY & BULLSHIT! SAKE & SUSHI! SAKE & SUSHI! SAKE & SUSHI! SAKE & SUSHI! SAKE & SUSHI! Forever. Seriously though, CREAM have already shown they can ... Read More »
This controversy is actually a year old, but given the nature of it and that KCON is coming up soon, I thought it would be worth rehashing again in an Asian Junkie I-Team fashion (except totally serious), just as the K-pop sub-reddit apparently did. There's US company advertising for young women to audition for "SNSD's next MV". My advice is ... Read More »

SM Entertainment has confirmed that this new girl group is in the works. The agency told media outlets, “The new girl group is planning for a debut in August.

Suzy gets hotter and hotter as she matures, as she proves in August 2014′s Marie Claire. Damn. Read More »
A poll was taken in 11 countries regarding the Hallyu Wave, and Japan’s results said that half of the people polled believed that the Hallyu Wave is over. Nationalistic? Racist? Biased? Possibly and even probable in some cases, as I can always rely on issues like this to bring out the nationalistic stupid in human beings. But looking at the ... Read More »
Nana has taken a lot of shit over her appearance on “Roommate” because she’s Nana, and the cast of the show took the time to address the backlash. On that day, after dinner, fellow roommate of the show Jo Se Ho said “I’m both thankful and feel sorry for Nana because she really is delightful around us but it is ... Read More »
G-Dragon visited Paris Fashion Week, where he was greeted with a “ching chong” and some “ni hao” shit cause all Asians are Chinese or something? Progressive Europe, not barbaric like America! I have no commentary, really, but it’s something noteworthy that happened. I’d say it’s less about him and more about how Asians are viewed around the world by default. Read More »
Sulli has been noticeably missing from f(x) as they promote “Red Light” on music shows, and that absence is felt more and more since they’re winning #1s and giving speeches. SM Entertainment‘s official explanation is that she’s sick and they’re letting her rest. On July 18 SM Entertainment told Mydaily, “Sulli has been sick since yesterday and although she has ...

SISTAR released their “Touch My Body” MV over the weekend while I was taking a break. And I don’t have a ton to say about it, honestly, because it’s just a pleasantly safe summer tune. I do, however, still have a few points to make. 1) The dog urination/leg cramp dance certainly is … something. Original! All I could think ... Read More »
I will be the first to admit that I did not care for leeSA‘s ‘Wiv Hcube‘, which I thought did not blend the r&b and singer-songwriter elements very well. I enjoyed her original songs, but her covers didn’t quite hit home with me. Her latest album, however, puts all of my worries to rest. —– Leaning more on her singer-songwriter ... Read More »
Sori‘s Instagram (here) has been featured here before for being awesome, and it’s being featured now again for the same reason. Working out, it does a body good. Read More »
I dropped a comment a while back stating that CL was the only female K-pop idol who displayed anything resembling stage presence. This horrified nearly everyone — fans of 2NE1 were concerned that this praise for CL was uncharacteristic of my normal online behaviour and perhaps indicative of massive hard drug use or mental breakdown, whereas everyone else was like, ...

Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
