Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.

JYJ‘s Junsu‘s “Tarantallegra” is perhaps the gayest music video of the year, and in Asian pop, that’s certainly saying something. I don’t mean gayest in the homophobic way either, with negative connotations, I mean it’s like homosexual and overtly so. The only way I can explain it is that it strikes me the same way as a Lady Gaga music ... Read More »

I’m not against plastic surgery, but as I said before, it’s criminal when a gorgeous person fucks their face up with it. What the FUCK did Son Ye Jin do to herself? Read More »

Given how A Pink have made copying decade old girl groups their thing and slapping a bubbly synth pop vibe on to that facade a success, I was half expecting their first ever album, “Une Annee“, to encompass bits and pieces of both “The Seven Springs Of A Pink” and “Snow Pink” to make my assumption certifiably official. However, not ... Read More »

As I said at the time, one would expect that people (domestic and international) would overreact to the upskirt incident involving Kara‘s Hara, where her alleged bearded clam was posted up in a Japanese tabloid. Why is that? Because Korea and K-pop fans care so much about protecting women and their moral right to not be sexualized? ROFL FUCK NO ... Read More »

On a recent episode of KBS‘s “Happy Together“, SNSD‘s Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Jessica made an appearance. TaeTiSeo Reveals the Secret Behind Their Name Honestly? My initial reaction to this title was: “HOLY COCK, I THINK WE CAN ALL FIGURE THAT SHIT OUT!” TaeTiSeo explained why their name was TaeTiSeo, instead of TiTaeSeo or SeoTiTae (You get the picture right?) Then ... Read More »

Ask Asian Junkie is back after a bit of a hiatus, so we’re going to ease back into things with a simple question. Why do people focus on “the face” of the group even if they aren’t the most talented or interesting member? Uh … because everybody loves beautiful people? I know I do and I bet you do as ...

Kara‘s Hara had an upskirt photo published by a Japanese tabloid recently, and DSP Media is not amused, as they are considering legal action, which will inevitably get nowhere. Personally, I don’t like upskirts. Partially because it’s morally wrong, but mainly because … well … they just aren’t that hot. To be honest, most of them are probably hotter with ... Read More »

Despite debuting with the most absurd nonsensical fabricated word in the history of K-pop, Taetiseo – the unholy amalgamation of the first syllable of the given name of each member (Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun) of the subunit – nonetheless has a lot going for it. While Orange Caramel is shamelessly overt in its intentions, the diabetic threat that Taetiseo poses ... Read More »

To Gawker Media site, Deadspin! Granted, it’s for failing, but better than nothing! Name recognition! By the way, it is in fact probably the worst first pitch I’ve ever seen. Either her or Mariah Carey. Read More »

Go Young Wook, a former member of the group Roo’ra, has been accused of sexually assaulting a minor, according to police. Singer and former Roo’ra member Go Young Wook (37) is currently being investigated by the police under suspicion of sexually assaulting a minor (In Korea 19 is the age of consent). Seoul Yongsan Police Station revealed on May 8th ... Read More »

Unlike the T.O.P “Turn It Up” controversy, which was basically some dude covering the song, this actually is plagiarism since it was released by the group (沙滩宝贝) as “No No No” in China on April 20th. Truth be told, I didn’t mind HyunA‘s “Bubble Pop” for … obvious reasons, but this song is fucking horrid in every conceivable way. On ... Read More »

Flawless, as usual. Read More »

In a recent episode of Channel A‘s “Goodbye Dear Wife“, actor Julien Kang not only flashed a thong, but his ass crack as well. I hope this pleases the women out there, because that’s more nudity than I get to see on television from Korean women. Read More »

Niigaki Risa of Morning Musume will be graduating on May 18th, and “Egao Ni Namida” is the solo track that commemorates her graduation. Not coincidentally, this also marks the graduation of my care for Morning Musume. Goodbye fun. Read More »

Why do people say shit like this? “Nobody can ever understand the history of *Insert Nationality Here* unless you are *Insert Nationality Here*.” It’s the most banal and inane stance you can take, and it’s also completely false. —– The fact of the matter is that anybody can know more. There are a ton of non-Japanese and non-Koreans who know ... Read More »
