What does the K-pop fandom and the state of Texas have in common? Both are filled with insane people and it’s never a good idea to poke either group with a stick. Yet, on March 24, videos by Cube Entertainment were blocked from international fans and could not be viewed, with popular groups like HyunA And Those Four Other Bitches ... Read More »
On MBC‘s “Section TV“, Super Junior‘s Leeteuk, who is currently in the army, was asked what was most precious to him now. On the segment, they were asked, “What is the most precious to you now that you’ve enlisted?“. Leeteuk answered, “My family and girl groups“. Jung Tae Woo joked, “What’s the name of the SISTAR member that I like?“, ... Read More »
If you’ve read my analysis of SHINee‘s “Sherlock” music video, then you know that I’m a person who looks past the glitz and glam of K-pop music videos and delves into the dark and gritty meaning behind it all. Well, 4minute‘s HyunA recently released her new solo MV, entitled “Ice Cream“, and I thought it would be the perfect video ... Read More »
Okay, this dude/chick has major issues. Like The Muzik is/was a Chinese fansite for 4minute, but whoever is running it completely flipped the fuck out because HyunA has a solo release coming up. I’m not sure why that means he/she has to close a site dedicated to the whole group, but rational decision making has never been the forte of ... Read More »
Haters gonna hate. I really do despise that “gotta take a fat Asian style shit” pose that photographers make women do though. At least do the real Asian squat. Geez. Read More »
From the release of their first teaser for this mini, I pretty much knew that BEAST would be taking a very different route in this year’s album promotions. As mellowyel noted, BEAST have generally been rung dry of their angst and moody concepts. It’s what molded their style in “Shock Of The New Era” and “Mastermind“, and it’s what propelled ...

Psy is back with “Gangnam Style” and holy fuck everything about this is awesome. Is it too early to call a music video of the year? Maybe, but it’s definitely the music video of 2012 for me so far. It’s not a typical idol video, which is exactly why it’s great. While idols nowadays take themselves way too fucking seriously ... Read More »
I’ve been listing the Top Korean Songs Of The Year for a couple years now on my blog (McRoth’s Residence), which you should visit frequently and give me lots of hits. Joining me this year are veteran McRoth’s Residence writers lolpenny and drowningn00b, along with noobies TESTAMENTVM and Compliant, as we will list our staff picks for the “Top Korean ...

After watching that Waveya dance cover performance, just remember that there are men out there who rally against the rights of females to express their sexuality. Think about how much fecal and amputee porn those dudes must fap to in their dark, damp basements with no lights on because they don’t want to see themselves sobbing in shame. —– Daum ... Read More »
Unlike AIYA! TUC, I’m not 10-years-old or whatever, so I’m not so insane to think that every woman I have sexual relations with is going to be some pure virgin. I do understand that his point revolves around the assumption that 4minute‘s HyunA is a slut/whore/cum dumpster/jizz donkey/Tyrannowhorus Rex, but I just think it’s ridiculous. I’m aware that she has ... Read More »
According to a recent poll in celebration of “Coming Of Age Day” in Korea, netizens (or whoever the fuck is voting these days) have ranked 4minute‘s HyunA as the idol with the most “kissable lips”. IATFB endorses it, but rest assured, my friends, the vomiting on my part is not from copious amounts of alcohol, but from the very thought ... Read More »
So we all know that allkpop isn’t exactly a bastion of journalistic integrity, especially since most of their content stems from translations of already poorly written articles. What disturbs me even more, though, is that when they do try to generate some “original content”, it usually ends up being a total clusterfuck of “what the fucking shit is this crap” ... Read More »
This week, K-pop producer Shinsadong Tiger released his collaborative single “In The Cloud” featuring BEAST‘s Dongwoon on vocals. The song is part of S. Tiger’s project album, “Supermarket – Another Half“, and will be accompanied by several other songs by Cube Entertainment artists 4minute and G.NA. As “In The Cloud” essentially serves as the appetizer to what I’m looking at ... Read More »
Since their first release (“For Muzik”), 4minute has tried to corner the electronica-dance niche in K-pop, trying to differentiate themselves from existing girl groups – e.g. SNSD or Kara – that mostly followed mainstream pop trends. In essence, 4minute has always been gunning to be a female iteration of Big Bang, but with the emphasis on visuals over the swag ... Read More »
4minute‘s HyunA was a guest on a recent broadcast of SBS‘s “100 Million Quiz Show“, where it was revealed that experts said to wrap up when you’re boning HyunA. The quiz question asked was, “Which physical characteristic makes you live longer if you have a lot of it on your body?” The two answer choices were: moles or hair. Host ... Read More »
Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
