U-KISS' Eli's undercover marriage
Probably the most 'Girl, Say What?' moment of 2015 - Eli revealing he got married....a YEAR ago! Fans and non fans alike were shocked by the U-KISS members sudden announcement. Eli had left on his social media a note saying "Hey everyone I know you all probably knew I had a girlfriend by the ring on my finger. We've been together for about 5 years now and love each other very much~" However, the news took a turn for the worse as butt hurt fans definitely felt otherwise about his positive announcement. Since then, Eli has deleted his social media accounts. Who knows what is in store for them but let's wish them luck in 2016 and the rest of their future days.
This idol relationship was going on strong and it was quite saddening to see them splitting up. Girls' Generation's Tiffany and 2PM's Nichkhun had decided to part ways after dating for a year and 5 months. Maybe for some it was delightful news and for others disappointing. Either way, it created quite the slew of news from the beginning all the way to the (possibly bitter) end.
Sometimes mistakes are made and things happen, and this case is no different. Idols are humans too! Sadly, BTS V received a lot of backlash from VIPs and EXID fans due to his actions during a previously recorded 'M! Countdown' winning stage. They expressed their irritation towards his abrupt dancing and lip syncing during the award acceptance. V apologized via Twitter stating "I listen to these three (Big Bang) songs everyday before I sleep. I sing it everyday 'cause it's really good so it must have become a habit and when we won the trophy, I was so happy and it came out involuntarily aigoo." Water under the bridge, man.
Definitely one of the saddest moments in K-Pop, the passing of SoJin, a participant of 'The Baby KARA Project,' was completely left field and unexpected by many. Whether due to personal reasons, not making it into KARA or having trouble gaining a successful debut, SoJin had a lot of talent and will be highly missed. It seems that these few passing years have had a lot of talent stripped away from us. Let's hope 2016 ends the string of unfortunate news.
Whenever any news or rumors of a group disbanding comes up, it automatically creates a whirlwind of despair. Fortunately, the rumor by media outlet Newsen lead basically nowhere. Unless it was some sort of rookie girl group that was already drowned out by the immense talent in K-Pop, the buzz for this report was a one time thing. Many assumed it involved idol girl groups miss A and even Secret.
The moment Jessica was removed from Girls' Generation, the world was in an uproar. From trending all over social media and breaking headlines, this controversy was beyond devastating. So when a video for "Catch Me If You Can" including Jessica was leaked online, fans knew this video was a must see. Watch it for yourself.
When the show 'Roommate' first debuted, there were many mixed reviews but the show definitely picked up with the various artists featured in the household. A favorable pairing was GOT7's Jackson and Girls' Generation's Sunny. But what exactly made them so shippable? It definitely has a lot to do with their whimsical nature. Imagine if these two became a real on scene couple? 'We Got Married,' we have your next volunteers!
Another odd but highly talked about topic in K-Pop 2015 was the FNC Entertainment CEO who revealed who he scolds the most of his groups and why? It was highly rumored that he was a strict leader and he revealed on 'Lee Kuk Ju's Yong Street,' that he "scolded everyone a lot. But the ones who were scolded the most were F.T. Island and CNBLUE," Maybe some of their bad boy concepts aren't just a joke, but their actual personalities.

Lee Jong Suk and Park Shin Hye's rumored love affair
Speaking of more ground breaking relationships, who could forget the rumor of Lee Jong Suk and Park Shin Hye dating? The public was very interested when the two lovers of "Pinocchio" were rumored to be in a relationship. Sadly, it come out of the blue and went right back into it, as this couple's love wasn't meant to be. Guess it was best left as an on TV romance.
Does anybody else remember this shocking relationship reveal? I know that half the world is in love with Suzy and the other half is all about Lee Min Ho (which leaves Siwon for me, hehe!). They definitely sent the media into a buzz after Dispatch had caught Lee Min Ho as he went to Paris for a photoshoot on the 10th of March, and Suzy as she went to London for a photoshoot on the same date. Coincidence? I think not! Currently, Suzy will be in a drama with Kim Woo Bin, who was fighting for the lead girl with Lee Min Ho in 'Heirs.'
