Female K-Pop Idols: Blonde Bombshells

When it comes to blonde hair, Korean women are either a hit or miss. They either look absolutely blonde and bodacious, or they look like they fell into a yellow puddle of hell. I touched upon some female K-pop blondes slightly in a previous post, but I wanted to do a more thorough article on the best blondies in the biz, inspired by Dara's latest blonde-do:
2NE1's Dara looks absolutely positively immaculate as a blonde. 2NE1's new MV to "Falling In Love" has got a ton of great elements, but the one thing that sticks out to me the most is Dara's blonde, pin-straight hair. Never in my life have I looked at a fellow Korean woman and thought that blonde suited her until my eyes saw Dara's new hairstyle. To say I love it on her is an understatement, and while she looks better when it's not a hot mess, she still looks fabuloso! Best blonde ever!


SNSD's Hyoyeon makes for a beautiful blonde. Perhaps it's her protruding big eyes and strong features, but Hyoyeon is definitely rocking the blonde look effortlessly. She looks better blonde than she does brunette!

Teenager Responsible For Edited Suzy Pictures Has Been Indicted

A teenager from the popular Korean message board “Ilbe” has been indicted by police for editing and posting pictures of Suzy that have been deemed to be sexual demeaning. It is even more surprising to hear that the culprit in question is just a 16-year-old.
Seoul Gangnam Police have stated that they have indicted 16-year-old “Jo” for posting sexually demeaning pictures of Suzy on the Ilbe message boards. The pictures in question involved ex-President Noh Moo Hyun, JYP representative Park Jin Young and Suzy, and contained pictures of Suzy and Park Jin Young’s faces edited on to the bodies of a cat and dog in sexual positions. 
Another person, aged 25, was also in line to be charged for posting pictures on Ilbe that depicted himself in sexual positions with an life size advertising cut out of Suzy. However, JYP Entertainment has dismissed his charges after he personally went to the agency and begged for forgiveness after the his initial police investigations. 
A police representative has stated that “What Mr. Jo has done is too severe to be given favourable conditions just because of his young age” and that they will “Forward the case to the prosecution’s office to be prosecuted.”

Eunhyuk speaks up about Zhoumi and Henry during the Singapore 'Super Show 5' show

The boys of Super Junior have been traveling around the world for their 'Super Show 5' world tour, but lately a few fans haven't been very happy.

Some ELF have been voicing their concern with the fact that Zhoumi and Henry (members of Super Junior-M but not Super Junior) have been performing on some of the stages of 'Super Show 5'. Some have even gone as far as to petition against their participation in the concerts. 


Eunhyuk was upset by what was happening, and in Singapore, he went on the stage by himself during a concert to address the crowd. He said, "I hope this message reaches Korean ELF and other ELF all over the world." He went on to explain that Zhoumi and Henry were not Super Junior members, but members of Super Junior-M.

Because of this, Henry and Zhoumi did not participate in Super Junior albums, and the posters for 'Super Show 5' did not include Henry and Zhoumi at all. However, since they're considered like family by the Super Junior members, the members thought it would be fun to bring them on for the stages where the members were interacting with the crowd. He asked everyone to support not only the Super Junior members but also Henry and Zhoumi.

What do you think of the situation?
