As if to prove that yes, the Korean media can get worse at their jobs, Newsen tacked on to the fail of No Cut News — a fail which I summarized yesterday regarding the false report of COOL‘s Yuri‘s murder — by releasing the name of the victim and revealing the details of the wake.

Right from the get go, this video was confusing as hell to me. On one hand, it’s full of awesome looking sets and the girls themselves look amazing. On the other hand, the concept is confusing and it’s shot in a way that’s unintentionally funny. For starters, just look at how the the concept is introduced. Member YoonA walks into ... Read More »
