Weekly recap: Cry me a river, damper on the party, and hands off!

Seungri, Tao, Amber, Girls
This week was a bit slower than most, but not to worry folks! Though the K-Pop world wasn't caught up in a whirlwind of scandals, enough still happened to have us busily trying to keep up. In the entertainment world something is always going on whether big or small, and of course, we cover both so scroll below for the rundown!

Amber tells it like it is



The usually genial and benign f(x) member Amber was forced to get stern with all her haters. In a lengthy post that she uploaded on her personal Instagram, the singer stressed how not everyone is the same and thanked the people close to her for always encouraging and supporting her. She then wrote an inspiring message to everyone--including her haters--to stay true to themselves. Yaassss girl, I agree with you. You tell 'em!


SM strikes back


SM Entertainment seems to have had enough antics of past EXO members. While Tao spilled tears on a Chinese program recalling the difficult times he faced alone in Korea, SM spared no empathy for the singer. SM seems resolute and have attempted to block Tao's activities by taking down his solo MV. The label has recently taken legal action against Kris for his activities in China as well,  


While I understand that there is the possibility that SM may have treated them harshly, I don't believe it's right (I don't want to use such a strong word as 'moral') for the past EXO members to just up and leave so abruptly. They had a duty to fulfill their contracts with SM and they just totally treated their responsibility towards the company, EXO and their fans like none of them held significance for them. I may not be an EXO fan, but I'm getting upset for all the EXO-L's who are probably angered and sad about the sudden and ugly departure of the Kris, Luhan, and now Tao. 


G-Dragon and his lady friend spotted together 


So apparently, G-Dragon's photos with his lady friend have been circulating about causing yet another uproar. You all know who I'm talking about; she's suave, cool, and sleek and any man would get all hot and bothered by a mere glimpse of her. That's right, G-Dragon took his precious Lamborghini Aventador out for a ride 'round town, taking her to the Shilla Hotel in Seoul! The other lady friend in G-Dragon's life, the beautiful Mizuhara Kiko was no where to be seen in the photos that were posted by one netizen. Instead what we see is G-Dragon bond with his ride, doting on her on their cute little date.

A damper on the "Party"

Girls' Generation have been throwing a grand bash all summer long with their hot latest single "Party," but someone just went and put a damper on it. Oh, poop. The person that just had to ruin the "Party" and snub out the fire was a random netizen who uploaded a picture of a music show's set details, showing which groups would performing and the type of background music that they would be using. While all other groups were using just regular "MR" Girls' Generation used "Live MR," meaning their vocals were pre-recorded. After the image surfaced online, many netizens went up in arms to either defend or attack the girl group. 

Get a room Bae Yong Joon and Park Soo Jin? 



Bae Yong Joon and Park Soo Jin tied the knot -- whoo whoo, but sadly, things weren't as picture perfect as they might have wished.  Someone uploaded a video from the private wedding which showed the couple's first, sweet dance and this caused a huge thing as people noted his "naughty hands" snugly placed on his new wife's tush. So? They just got married -- let them be all lovey dovey.  J.Y. Park certainly thought the couple should have been left alone as he lashed out against the first uploader via his Twitter.  Good going, JYP!  The netizen quickly posted an apology to Bae Yong Joon and J.Y. Park - but notably missed out apologizing to Park Soo Jin.


hyukoh plagiarism controversy


After appearing on 'Infinity Challenge', hyukoh just soared to fame, but the group has already hit a wall of controversy through a plagiarism claim!  Did they copy Beach Fossils?  The leader says nay, Beach Fossils aye, hyukoh says nay once again.  Make sure you listen for your own comparisons and leave your two cents down below.


Kim Hyun Joong's ex adds more chips on her shoulder 


Sigh.  The drama continues between Kim Hyun Joong and his ex-girlfriend, Ms. Choi, and things just keep going out of hand. This time, though, they sadly dragged in a third party, Jin Se Yeon, who had to stand up to defend herself against sudden and outrageous claims saying she was the female celebrity with whom Kim Hyun Joong had an affair at one point.  Can we not?
