Psy‘s “Gentleman” is already out in Korea, and of course people have uploaded it for us savages overseas. After giving it a few listens, I’m … less than impressed? After all the effort and hand-wringing and what not, this is a worse effort than his singles previous to “Gangnam Style“. Shit, he could have just used “Right Now” if he ... Read More »
Park Jimin and Baek Yerin of K-Pop Star fame — now under JYP Entertainment — hit a very bizarre note last year when they debuted with the overly subdued single “I Dream“. While not a terrible song, its complete lack of energy was a poor musical hook for a rookie group to ride and it didn’t do much to impress. ... Read More »
Singer Ivy is slowly making her way back into the spotlight after her controversy that led to a three-year hiatus, and she certainly looks the part if her bikini picture is anything to go by. However, people didn’t have anything positive to say about it, mainly because of said controversy. Furthermore, in response to selca pictures she posted, netizens accused ... Read More »
So recently Billboard wrote an article about G-Dragon‘s world tour, and in the article the event was compared favorably to Michael Jackson in some respects. High praise, and people are whining about that, but that’s not really the story to me. The vibrant, two-hour, Michael Jackson-level affair had begun. With eye-popping props, numerous outfit changes, multiple LED screens flashing video ... Read More »
The Park Si Hoo sexual assault case has been confusing and dramatic, as most of us are well aware by now. I haven’t written about it for a while because the news came in fast and furious and it was hard to judge exactly where it was going to end up next, much less form a solid opinion on the ...

It’s been a tough past two years for Hamasaki Ayumi in the wake of a failed marriage to an Austrian who posed in Leslie Kee photobooks in arseless underpants for a living, Koda Kumi charting higher than her with an album that sold less copies, a hat-trick of three albums failing to hit #1 on the Oricon chart, and a ...

Okay, so Girl’s Day recently released an awesome music video for “Expectation” starring one of the best concepts of all time. Sexy concepts aren’t anything new, so the effectiveness of the concept is inherently subjective, but if I let my penis do the talking, then this was THE FUCKING BEST HOLY SHIT. Okay, so we are 10 seconds into the ... Read More »
I love “Ninjari Bang Bang“. It’s like Naruto had sex with Taki from Soul Calibur, who then went on a midnight creep with the karate man from Kung-Fu on the NES, who then got drunk and banged his head against a taiko drum whilst the two-dollar ho he picked up earlier in the evening plays Tetris by the side of ...

Stop what the fuck you are doing. The Queen of Okinawa (No Kuroki Meisa, not you. Please sit down. Editor’s Note: FUCK YOU!) Amuro ‘Les Miserables’ Namie has a double A-side single out. One song is for pussy-popping purposes and the other is about self acceptance … of your pussy and how it has the power to change the world. ... Read More »
So Kim Tae Woo went on KBS 2TV‘s “Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook” and talked about his married life because everybody always asks him about his married life. Curious fans can’t seem to get enough anecdotes about his married life. Kim Tae Woo shared, “Marriage is 50/50 in terms of pros and cons. First off, my heart becomes more comfortable, and ...

So apparently, about a week ago on KBS‘s “Moonlight Prince“, one of the panel members, Tak Jae Hoon, flippantly made a Kunta Kinte reference while talking about being strung up as punishment on the show (as seen above). For those who have no idea why this could be misconstrued, this is the reference: Note: The music is either trolling or ... Read More »
Everyone wants to be part of the cool Korean hip-hop crowd these days, and lately, in the world of K-pop fandoms, I’ve noticed there seems to be a huge misconception about what hip-hop actually is. And it’s sort of disturbing. With the popularity of the hip-hop genre these days, many fans toss around the word freely. Bestowing the title of ... Read More »
Details on Park Si Hoo‘s sexual assault case have been consistently flowing in for a while now, but the important issue at hand is the results of the alleged victim’s drug testing. I mentioned previously how it’s looking bad for PSH, to the point where even Korean netizens had turned on him, but the drug testing results could turn the ... Read More »
The lawyers for Block B and Stardom Entertainment faced off today in the case over the group’s contract, and they basically restated their press release points with a few new wrinkles. Block B’s side stated, “Block B has lost their trust in the label that broke the terms of the contract. They’ve filed for an injunction because if the lawsuit ... Read More »
There’s something about the Rainbow I used to know that didn’t quite make it over to their 2013 album, ‘Rainbow Syndrome‘. As their first full-length album drops this month – which, as on trend as the rest, has been split into two parts – one would have expected a resurgence of old styles and a splash of something new, but ...
