"I'm Really Hurt" by T-Ara's MVs

Because they bored me to death.

T-ara’s fame has been rapidly rising with hit after hit, but this time around, T-ara made one step forward and two steps back – two MVs to be exact.

I’m Really Hurt” is a solid addition to T-ara’s repertoire of hits, but M-net steered them wrong when they decided to give us three helpings of the same bland thing. It would have been perfectly fine with just the first MV (albeit that one is a little boring too in itself), but you give me two extra unnecessary MVs of them sitting there and just touching the rim of their hats a lot with gaping seductive mouths. Pretty faces can only take you so far, and in this instance, not very far because the camera angles were bad, especially in the third MV.

Anyway, here’s a compilation of all three. I recommend just watching the first one, and just listen to the other two like you’re listening to the song on loop.

2AM "I Did Wrong" MV is here!

 
 The wait is over! 2AM’s new music video was revealed on March 15th. ‘I did wrong’ has an upbeat tempo ala 2PM. Will we finally get to see them dance? Afterall, the song has the dance feel to it.  We think the boys have another hit coming their way!

[Selca] Dara's "Pitiful" White Day

2NE1’s resident selca-jaengi Sandara Park, uploaded this sibling love picture on her me2day website with her younger brother, Thunder, of MBLAQ, commemorating a not-so-wonderful White Day. What’s White Day, you ask?

In Korea, there are a number of “couple” holidays, namely, the internationally celebrated Valentine’s Day and White Day, which is only really celebrated in Korea and Japan.

White Day is on March 14th, a month after Valentine’s Day. In Korea, on Valentine’s Day, the girl gives a confession/chocolate/whatever to a guy. On White Day, it’s vice versa, and the guy gives something to a girl.
Anyway, the singing siblings got together for what Dara calls a “pitiful” White Day, but they happily met and ate.

Selca tip: Take the selca to commemorate a holiday, even if you had a lousy one.

Black SNSD: Yoona & Tiffany

Finally, the full set of all nine members of Girls Generation (SNSD) in their new “black” concept is complete, rounding out the final two members, Yoona and Tiffany
Tiffany can sure take a (well-edited) photo. Her face-on gaze (and the fact we can clearly see her face) stands out in the crowd with chic eye make-up and black nails. Yoona’s straight bangs do make her wholesome, innocent look more edgy… or doll-like?

If you missed the ordering, Girls Generation started releasing the black concept with Yuri on March 11th. Then on the 12th, it was leader Taeyeon and mangnae Seohyun. The 13th brought Sooyoung and Hyoyeon, and the 14th was Jessica and Sunny. Finally, today rounded out with Tiffany and Miss Popular Yoona.

The black concept is for the repackaged version of their second album “Oh!” The new title song of the repacked album will be released on March 17th through music portals.

Now that’s it’s finally complete, what do you think of the dressed-in-black, haughty, sexy Girls Generation?

Afterschool adds another member

After School seems to have a new mystery student.

For their come back single, the 7-member girl group released some promotional photos revealing an 8th member, whose face is hidden behind her hat.

Fans are all wondering who the new member could be, and where did she come from? Or, could she be, gasp, the already graduated member, Yoo So-young?

The new single will also bring a new 3-color concept “Unprecedented + Sexy + Intense,” so look forward to an unprecedented, intensely sexy After School…?

Anyway, at least you can always expect a powerful and well-executed dance performance from the After School ladies. Their third single will be available on March 25th.

Until then, enjoy the new marching band concept, and what do you think of the new student, even though you can’t see her face?

'ZE:A trashes fan letters

The 9-member idol group ZE:A (Children of Empire) was caught trashing fan letters. (And fresh strawberries! What a waste!)

Someone’s in trouble~

Photos of thrown away letters and half-opened gifts appeared on the Internet, causing quite a bit of concern amongst netizens giving many, “Kids these days” sort of comments about the young idol boys.

The management assures that the trashing wasn’t on purpose. Instead they blamed the cleaners, “A cleaning company was in charge of cleaning the dormitory. We know the time that the cleaners came by. At that time, they let this and similar problems occur.” Anyway, they apologized and assured that something like this would never happen again.

However, netizens responded to the apology, “They’re just putting all the blame on innocent cleaners,” and, “Every time something like this happens, they just blame the cleaners.”

I can just imagine the dismay of the stalker fan that discovered all these thrown-away love letters.

T-Ara's Hyomin is 'Best Face'

or ulzzang as Koreans call it…

‘Ulzzang’  means best face,literally. It’s the title given to the honourables beautifuls. Before debuting as a member of  T-ara, Hyo-min was known for her pretty features. And also for resembling SNSD’s Jessica. We think she kinda look like her other member, Soyeon. All that aside, have a look at her pre-debut photos below!

KARA wins after 3 years!

 
 
Halla, halla, catch, catch the trophies!

KARA edged out SNSD from the top spot on KBS Music Bank on March 12th. This marked their first K-Chart win on Music Bank since  debuting 3 years ago,with their latest song, Lupin.

With the girl groups’ comebacks this month, the competition was stiff and oh so sexy. We have SNSD’s cheer, ‘Oh!’ and also T-ara’s ‘I go crazy because of you’.  The battle of the dark side saw triumphant responses from the Simon Cowells’ of Kpop. i.e, netizens.

Adding glucose to the sugary sweet month, KARA also took home the numero uno spot on M!Countdown  for two weeks in a row! Congratulation girls, Halla!
 

Black Soshi photos revealed!

for the first time, we are all grateful for an approaching black storm…

Nothing defines mystery, revenge and sexual appeal like the colour black. Beginning on March 11th, each SNSD member’s photo was revealed and it’ll continue until March 15th. The Black Soshi concept allevated curiousity and anticipation. Yuri’s concept photos was unveiled first , followed by Taeyeon, Seohyun, Hyoyeon and Sooyoung. Three members remaining, are you getting more anxious? Check out the images below

Men's Health just got sexier!

 
why wouldn’t it, when two hotties collide?

Chuno‘ stars, Jang-hyuk and Han Jung-soo poses for Men’s Health magazine. We think they’re gorgeous and all but, the look on Jang-hyuk’s face is hilarious. Expressions= village unintellectual bully, body = greek god. The concept is masculinity and their chiseled frame justified it. No offense, but the styling makes Jang-hyuk looks like the ‘cool‘ village thug. Nothing is more manly then a souffle-esque mullet. We half-expected him to take our lunch money(we would if he’s topless when hounding us, and we’ll throw in our lunch bag too!). You can go wrong with hair,clothes and make-up, but you can NEVER go wrong with wash-board abs. The photoshoots will be featured in the magazine’s March issue.
