Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.

SISTAR‘s Bora was hurt during MBC‘s “Idol Star Athletics Championship“, and if that sounds familiar, it’s because she has to be the most injury-prone idol in history. While crossing the finish line as first place during the 70 meter dash preliminary match, Bora took a wrong step and fell on her head. When she did not get up from her ... Read More »

So apparently that picture above is from the set of SISTAR sub-unit SISTAR19‘s new music video, “Gone Not Around Any Longer“, and I can see why Starship Entertainment used that picture because … fuck me. Hyorin and Bora are … YUP. Read More »

Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard. HyunA and her cartoon tattoos (a handful of them are actually real, though) have already broken some records, most notably matching SNSD‘s record for “Fastest Video To Reach 10 Million Views” (a title previously held in splendid isolation by “The Boys“), as reported by Soompi. In other words, all it took was a mere four days — ...

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 »

On the July 25th broadcast of MBC‘s “Idol Star Olympics“, T-ara‘s Eunjung showed everybody just how important it is to her. For the 100 meter dash, SISTAR‘s Bora came in first with a time of 15.58 seconds, while Eunjung did her best “haters gonna hate” stroll to a time of 29.53 seconds. And not a single fuck was given that ... Read More »

In a fortunate bit of timing given my music video review of SISTAR‘s “Loving U“, which tackles the inclusion of white people everywhere seemingly at random, BEAST will apparently be the next K-pop group to continue the trend. This according to the craigslist posting that can be seen above. —– So basically, if you’re white, female, and your cousin’s boyfriend’s ... Read More »

Talk about a change in concept. SISTAR decided to go with a bright and cheery concept for their latest single, “Loving U“, and their music video was made to reflect every bit of that. Their company, Starship Entertainment, allegedly spent $170,000 on the music video, which is set in Hawaii, and the whole time I was watching the fucking thing, ... Read More »

SISTAR has come a long way from the rookie group that first hit airwaves in 2010 with “Push Push“. Aggressive, sexy, with an in-your-face sass that belied the vocal talent in the group, the shock-and-awe approach, helmed by Brave Brothers, proved to be a gamble that paid off, landing the rookie group as high as ninth on the Gaon charts. Since then, they’ve ... Read More »

So SISTAR‘s Hyorin was a guest on MBC‘s “Radio Star“, where they said she looked like a Native American chief’s daughter. On the June 13 episode of MBC’s “Radio Star” Bada and SISTAR’s Hyorin appeared as guests. While the MCs were explaining the connection between the guests, they went ahead and stated that Bada had once said that Hyorin looks ... Read More »

SISTAR‘s Soyu recently revealed on Mnet‘s “Beatles Code” that she doesn’t like wearing short outfits on stage because perverted fans take pictures of their asses and coochies. Soyu stated, “It is a little upsetting, it might be a good thing in a way. Even if we wear the same hot pants as other girl group members, when we wear them ... Read More »

Under the guise of watching it to learn choreography, actor Joo Sang Wook admitted on KBS‘s “Invincible Youth 2” that he watched SISTAR‘s “Alone” music video over 600 times. While they were waiting for the beans to roast, Bora performed a “wave dance” for the actor and commented after, “I showed you a wave so oppa should show one too.” ... Read More »

Without a doubt, SISTAR is one of the groups to keep an eye on in the K-pop music scene. Hyorin‘s voice alone is a reason to keep your ears open, but there are certainly other aspects of the group that are quite appealing as well. That being said, in an upcoming episode of some reality TV show or something, resident ... Read More »

Despite Starship Entertainment’s attempts to convince the world otherwise, SISTAR‘s latest mini-album, “Alone”, centers around a hooker concept. Why? Because no one in their right mind flies all the way out to Las Vegas to film a music video if they wanted to imply something else. That story might have worked for MOGEF, but trust me, whatever excuse they gave is ...

SISTAR‘s Bora is doing an advertisement for Hyundai‘s Veloster Turbo, and since a car with the hood up is in the advertisement, netizens figured it was a swell time to compare her to Megan Fox in “Transformers” … and then say Bora’s hotter. Netizens that have come across the pictures stated, “Wow she is sexier than Megan Fox,” “I want ... Read More »
