G-Friend's fall get worldwide attention
G-Friend is a true testament to the mantra, 'get back on your feet,' as they did so over and over again even after falling on a slippery stage multiple times. The rookie group was performing their latest single, "Me Gusta Tu" at the 'Inje SBS Radio Public Broadcast' when SinB and Yuju fell countless times due to the slippery, hazardous conditions of the stage, a result of the rainy weather at the time. Watching the video, you can't help but feel pity towards the girls for having to perform in such dangerous conditions. Throughout the stage, Yuju falls so many times that you begin to lose count of her tumbles.
The incident even received international coverage, as a fan-cam of the girls' performance went viral online. The aftermath of this slippery episode has snowballed into something of a controversy, even with the assurance from G-Friend that they are okay. 2PM's Taecyeon advised the girls that they should watch out for their health more than anything else, and now, various media outlets and pundits are speaking up, declaring that the girls deserve nothing short of an apology.
Yoon Eun Hye fashion faux pas
The dress Yoon Eun Hye presented on an episode of 'Goddess Fashion 2' is receiving negative attention from the public for allegedly plagiarizing the design of ARCHE designer Yoon Choon Ho. Yoon, noticing the closeness between his design and Yoon Eun Hye's subtly called out the actress on his Twitter. In response, Yoon Eun Hye's side released a verbose apology giving their side of the story. Her explanation wasn't met too well with netizens who continued to be skeptical. Now the situation has took a turn for the worse, with the exposure that her previous designs are not quite original either.
DAY6 Y U NO PROMOTE
Fans have pointed out JYP's new group DAY6's lack of promotions, as compared to other groups from the label. Initially, DAY6 fans were upset that the band wasn't being as hyped as the other groups, noticing little to no activity on JYP's end to get the band more known. People were particularly concerned about the taking down of the group's debut MV, "Congratulations," which was nearing the one million view milestone. To appease the fans, JYP stepped forward with an statement, explaining the reasons behind the sudden removal of DAY6's MV and their unusual methods of promoting the band. Turns out, the label may have a valid reason! Let's just hope that there are no more misunderstandings.
Kim Hyun Joong drama continues...
Somehow Kim Hyun Joong and his ex Ms. Choi have sneaked their way back into our lives, providing us with some much needed drama. Earlier this week, it was reported that Ms. Choi's delivery date would be this coming September 12. However, those reports turned out to be false, as Ms. Choi already gave birth earlier this month. News of her birth were downplayed to protect the mother and her newborn from excessive public interest. Kim Hyun Joong's side apparently knew nothing of Choi's baby, and news of her delivery was likely met with immense shock. What the actor's father said in an interview proved as much, as he bemoaned the unfairness of the whole situation and asserted that Ms. Choi should have contacted them about the birth.
Seung Ho is assaulted
MBLAQ's Seung Ho reportedly suffered a head injury from getting into an altercation with a former J.Tune Camp employee. The whole situation arose from a misunderstanding, which turned violent, with the former employee, 'A,' hitting Seung Ho over the head with a glass bottle. The singer reported this misdemeanor to the authorities but didn't end up pressing charges. In fact, he later altered his story, stating that he was slapped, not attacked with a glass bottle. To mitigate the worry of fans, both the label and Seung Ho released official statements, assuring everyone that the altercation has been resolved and that everything is alright. Thank goodness!
HyunA too sexy for a shirt
HyunA, the queen of sexy, is in the limelight for her flagrantly revealing album jacket photos. Well...flagrant for Korean standards. The singer is clad in nothing but her underwear for most of the photos, a timid hand covering the most private parts of her body and hiding not much else.
Aaaand here we have the comment of the week:
That's it for this week. Have a good weekend everybody!
