TVXQ‘s Changmin recently gave SECRET‘s Sunhwa advice on dating in secret, which is hilarious because it allows me to make a pun on their group name AND because he maybe/possibly/probably just got caught bumping uglies with f(x)‘s Victoria. Changmin became Sunhwa’s ‘teacher’ on the February 26 episode of ‘Moonlight Prince‘. Since two attractive idols came together on the show, of ... Read More »
A recent rumor is that TVXQ‘s Changmin and f(x)‘s Victoria are dating because they were seen eating together, information that was uncovered through … interesting means.

T-ara‘s Eunjung has found employment again as an MC of MBC Music‘s “Show Champion“, and she’ll probably do well because she’s shown before that she has the chops for stuff like this. Also, it means netizens will have ample time to rehash shitty jokes about ‘determination’ and ‘rice cakes’ and whatever the fuck else that nobody with a life gives ... Read More »
SM Entertainment has released the dance teaser for SNSD‘s chicken-head anthem “I Got A Boy“. It’s nothing special given that only one member of the group can dance, and these girls have a great deal of trouble keeping in time with one another, but the song sounds hot and it shows three different looks for the girls, all of which ...

Hi, you shits. It’s your boy McRoth clocking in for my annual end-of-year list, which I think came together rather beautifully this time compared to the previous years I’ve done this. I hope it does as well a job of wrapping up a year in Korean music for you as it did for me, because not only do I feel ... Read More »
Evidence that f(x)‘s Sulli is actually an immortal demon has recently been found via a picture of a gisaeng born in 1900, named Lee Nan Hyang. It’s said that Nan Hyang was known for her incredible vocal abilities, which she must have toned down for her Sulli character so that it’s all not too obvious. —– Sulli now joins Keanu ...

Late last month, a report came out that basically was a gift to conspiracy theorists, as it stated that companies were manipulating music chart rankings so that their groups would appear more popular than they actually were. The issue surrounding the method of ‘album hoarding’, used by middlemen to fabricate music charts rankings, was investigated on the most recent episode ... Read More »
So Billboard recently came out with an article on SNSD, proclaiming that they were dominating Japan and were on their way to global domination and shit. That sort of fluff is nothing new, so I don’t mean to single Billboard or SNSD out, but it did make me wonder exactly why American publications like this go to such great lengths ... Read More »

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING CONTACT YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND TELL THEM TO STOP THEIR LIVES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK BECAUSE SEOHYUN’S BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK AND ALL PLANS FROM THIS POINT ON ARE IRRELEVANT AND CANCELED —– SNSD‘s Seohyun‘s birthday is this week (June 28th), and she celebrated it yesterday the only way an Empress knows how ...

Heavens be praised, f(x) and their management has finally narrowed on a sound that works for them. After some serious floundering – with the 90s recycled feel of “La Cha Ta” and the flaccid Chu~, along with “NU ABO” – f(x) finally found the bass-filled, sing-speak style that, for better or worse, has brought them commercial success. In many ways, ... Read More »
Okay, so I know I already wrote about this before, but a random theory just sprung into my head. Now when I have an idea, things usually go downhill fast, but I don’t care, it’s my site. Anyway, so I figure that SM Entertainment can’t be fucking stupid to make all their money and get this irrational fan loyalty to ... Read More »
SM 1: “So what the fuck is up with f(x)’s concept, dude? Like … is this the new fetish or something?” SM 2: “Yeah, man, schoolgirls were becoming like soooooooooooooooo cliche. Pretend bestiality is the new hotness. It’s like furries but with actual animal heads instead of just costumes.” SM 1: “But you can’t even see their fac…” SM 2: ... Read More »
The follow-up to 2011′s wildly successful “Last Fantasy” – which not only solidified IU’s position as Korea’s sweetheart and led to some short-lived Japanese promotions – is not, as her management would want you to think, that big a deal (musically). Yes, she’s turning twenty (she’s a legal adult, so no longer do uncle fans have to feel like creepy ... Read More »
A BREAKTHROUGH IN HUMAN ABILITIES! On April 29, f(x)’s Krystal shared photos of herself with sister Jessica (Girls’ Generation) on her me2day. She wrote, “We came out of our respective rooms and whoa. Telepathic striped JUNGs.” Either that or they coordinated outfits together and took planned selcas so their fans could say stuff like this: Netizens commented, “Soojung and Sica ... Read More »
