Article: 36% of normal weight female junior/high school students think "I'm fat"

Source: Yonhap News via Nate

On a '2012 Teen Health Online Survey', 72,229 junior and high school students were surveyed, of which 80.7% were determined to be at a 'normal weight'.

35.6% of females still thought they were overweight, and 22.2% for males.

1. [+138, -14] This is the result of an image focused society. It'd be weird if they didn't think there was something wrong with them when all they see are chopstick celebrities stripping and shaking on TV.

2. [+122, -24] When you turn on the TV, all you see are stick thin girls perpetuating image stereotypes. Why do you think Hyuna's in the hospital? Yeah she was injured but I bet you it was also because she hasn't been getting all of the nutrients she needs. Her bones are probably as weak as chopsticks and her muscles are probably like cotton which makes her prone to more injuries. Is your outer image really more important than your health?

3. [+106, -12] Ever since skinny jeans became popular, people started trying to get mannequin bodies... If you're not morbidly overweight, try to have some confidence in your body...

4. [+34, -35] The bigger issue is fat people thinking they're normal weight and wearing mini skirts in the summer. Please stop that.

5. [+29, -4] I agree with the best replies about TV playing a part but I also think men have fault with the way they call girls ugly so easily and attack anyone over 50 kg for being non-human and treating them like criminals.

6. [+29, -2] How upsetting that it's our very own society that's making them think this way.

7. [+25, -1] I think every society in the world is image focused but none as bad as Korea... Korea has to be the only country that gives a fu*k about whether someone else is fat or short and then rags on them for it.

8. [+15, -5] I think our country's women are beautiful, it's just that they put themselves down too much

1. [+76, -11] I really don't know why they add so many unnecessary yoga scenes. She can't act, what is her purpose in the drama? This drama has way too many yoga and pilates scenes.

2. [+68, -4] Can't they give her anything else? All she does is... work and pick up the phone.. make some coffee at home and pick up the phone~

3. [+57, -5] Yoga fire

1. [+169, -55] Shin Se Kyung's by no means a horrible actress.. it's just that the roles she gets are all similar. Just looking at her face... is frustrating.

2. [+224, -158] Am I the only one that doesn't get how she's a celebrity? She's really ugly for a celebrity.. and she's only gotten uglier after getting more work done. Her facial expressions are so frustrating..

3. [+52, -7] Shin Se Kyung's real personality seemed really bright and outgoing... it's just that all of the characters she chooses are depressing. I hope she'll go for an outgoing character next time. She's still young, why does she stick to depressing characters ㅡㅡ;

Article: 'When a Man Loves' Shin Se Kyung's car accident, will she forget Yeon Woo Jin through amnesia?

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+141, -5] Amnesia ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Isn't that so overplayed ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+128, -3] The three main themes of Korean dramas: affairs, secret births, amnesia/incurable disease

3. [+117, -9] There are three ways the story could possibly go with this car accident. First: She forgets Yeon Woo Jin and begins to like Song Seung Hun before finally remembering Yeon Woo Jin. Second: She pretends she has amnesia and then gets revenge on SSH. Third: She pretends she has amnesia to get revenge on Song Seung Hun but finds out that it was Chang Hee that hit her and then teams up with YWJ to get revenge on Chang Hee. Whichever way the drama goes, it's a makjang.

2. [+82, -5] His eyes are so charming. The shape of his eyes are sharp and intimidating but because of the color of his eyes, he gives the feel of both a wild beast with some innocent glimmer.. I hope to see more of him on TV and movies~

3. [+84, -7] He harmed he needed to turn her into one of three conditions (amnesia, vegetable, aphasia) in order to keep the drama in line with the three makjang themes of Korean dramas.

1. [+134, -6] Wasn't Jooyeon a part of the top 5 legendary ulzzangs? Jooyeon, Goo Hye Sun, Park Han Byul... and I forget the remaining two.

2. [+109, -21] One of the rare celebrities who looked prettier before their debut... Now she has no charms..

3. [+101, -28] Who cares.. she has no charms now and she's not as pretty as she used to be. She's a singer who can't sing, she's not funny on variety shows, can't act.. She has no character so her company doesn't bother supporting her. You gotta grab a character like Lizzy to last in the industry otherwise you'll forever be remembered as a nobody.

4. [+27, -0] Honestly, judging based on looks and bodily proportions alone, she's A class level.. The problem is that she's not talented in anything.

5. [+25, -1] Ulzzangs were the best up to Goo Hye Sun, Nam Sang Mi, Park Han Byul, and Lee Joo Yeon... They were all natural. After that, all the ulzzangs are just photoshopped, circle lens wearing plastic surgery monsters.

1. [+434, -14] What crime did the bride and groom do to deserve this on the most important moment of their lives? Their wedding's a mess all because of a trashy fan..

2. [+360, -7] "Surprised, IU ran away but he did not stop there. IU was eventually caught by him and it wasn't until she screamed that security guards managed to get him off of her." What is this, a horror film... Why would he continue chasing after her even when she's running away and then making her scream? Why would he do this to the most beautiful day of the couple's lives?

3. [+296, -7] The wedding must've become a mess because of that trash tsk tsk.. Poor IU, she must've been shocked.

4. [+263, -7] And what the hell were her manager and security guards doing?

5. [+269, -24] Poor IU, what a ba$tard

6. [+186, -4] I'm glad IU and Seo Ji Suk are safe.

7. [+142, -3] Did he really expect her to say "Oh my, yes, I'd love to" if he ran up to her and just asked her to marry him?

8. [+122, -11] IU must've been really shocked.. I hope she's able to calm down and not let this affect her too much.

2. [+155, -27] Wow, the crazy stupid fangirls seriously have no lives!!! I was right there when they were dating in Myungdong ㅋㅋ and even with all those people watching, they were sitting there swearing at Son Naeun. Are they crazy? They literally shouted at her "Sl*t"... Doesn't that say it all?

3. [+137, -11] Son Naeun's pretty, Taemin's pretty, they're such a lovely couple... Why would anyone swear at them when they're just walking down the street.

4. [+27, -2] As a SHINee fan, I truly believe the people who swore at them crossed the line. Please don't do that ever again.. How can you say those things to their faces?

5. [+19, -1] It was really bad in Myungdong, I thought they were all zombies with the way they were closing in on them. You could really tell by Taemin's expression that he was holding it in;;; I don't think they'll go somewhere crowded ever again

2. [+280, -184] Don't hate on B1A4 for winning, hate on Music Core's ranking system;; why is this B1A4's fault;;; Was promoting and working hard a crime for them??? And what's so wrong for the fans to vote for them to help their favorite artist win #1?

3. [+197, -134] B1A4 has been #1 yesterday and today on Hanteo's daily chart. Music Core is digital + physical = 60% so why do people only bring up their digital ranking? ㅋㅋ

4. [+190, -65] They're ranked 28th on Melon, congratulations. By the way, 4minute's #1, Roy Kim's #2, Hyori's #3 ㅋ

5. [+202, -82] The most ridiculous #1 in music program history! Can someone please explain to me how these kids are #1?

6. [+28, -6] Just like the title of their song, 'what is going on?' A program that gives you #1 as long as your stupid fangirls vote for you

7. [+70, -20] I'm a fan but today's #1 doesn't sit well with me. I hope that when they mature and win #1 the next time, they'll be able to receive the praise of everyone. I guess today's award is a message to work harder ㅠ

8. [+37, -4] I've never even listened to this song so how is it #1... Obviously it's not the artist's fault but the ranking system.

1. [+1,047, -164] Vote up for Shinhwa, down for 2PM

2. [+748, -111] Shinhwa vs 2PM? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Duh, Shinhwa ㅡㅡ

3. [+717, -82] HOT and Sechs Kies were all the rage but I think the real winner is Shinhwa in the end

4. [+144, -16] I'm a guy and thought Shinhwa's stage was really cool while watching Music Bank. Looks, vocal talent, stage presence... They were better than 2PM all around.

5. [+142, -18] Shinhwa brought something new while 2PM is still stagnant where they always used to be. That's the difference.

6. [+135, -18] I don't know if you can really compare the two. They're on different levels.

7. [+113, -17] Who are you comparing Shinhwa to! Shinhwa's new song is an all kill.

8. [+106, -23] Couldn't stomach 2PM this tme because they were so embarrassing.

9. [+81, -18] Pisses me off that they're even being compared to 2PM

10. [+70, -13] They definitely have difference stage presence. I found myself thinking of other things while 2PM was performing but Shinhwa, I just stared and focused. It's not 2PM that's the problem but JYP...

7. [+105, -13] You shouldn't be jealous, you should be ashamed...

8. [+88, -10] I'm telling you guys, it makes more sense for Tony to be dating Hyeri's mom since she should be in her mid-40s, which leaves her with a 10 year age difference with Tony.

Article: T-ara 'Roly Poly' MV release delayed, why? "Due to a file error, emergency filming begins"

Eunjung: I never hated it, though...?

Kwang Soo's various terrors against the girls:

1. Made them perform in short sleeves and mesh outfits on one of the coldest nights in Seoul (-20 celsius)

2. Despite Jiyeon's leg injury, she was still made to perform on stage in a cast

3. The day after she injured her leg, she still had to attend the IAC schedule

4. Despite fainting during rehearsals and being rushed to the ER, Jiyeon just received a shot and was made to come back to perform We Were In Love + Cry Cry.

5. Soyeon still had to perform all stage long on crutches.

6. Kwang Soo media played about T-ara doing charity services which the members had no idea about so Eunjung had to come out and attend despite her injury/on crutches.

7. Eunjung ruptured her ligament and was ordered 6 weeks of recovery but she still had to perform the shuffle dance on painkillers. She slipped into her cast immediately off stage.

8. Kwang Soo once again media played about how the girls promised to pass out autographed CDs and rice cakes on the subway if they won #1. The girls themselves didn't find out about the 'promise' until they read the article...

6. [+912, -12] Seo Taiji sends all the girls he dates overseas and cuts them off from their friends. I don't really get why he makes them do that.. Seo Taiji's a mess.

7. [+677, -13] All I see in Seo Taiji is a lolita complex. He took in both Lee Ji Ah and Lee Eun Sung when they were both so young and cut them off from the world while living with him...

8. [+670, -14] Seo Taiji has to have psychological problems. He hides all the girls he dates and makes them live solitary lives... The girl needs to wake up.

9. [+557, -14] She's basically repeating Lee Ji Ah's life... She'll be thrown away just like she was.

10. [+468, -18] She may think it's love now but I doubt she'll be able to stand a solitary life for much longer... She'll end up like Lee Ji Ah.. tired and frustrated and wanting an escape.

[Instiz] Nine Muses' Sera hit by CEO?

2013-05-16T12:30:00.001-04:00

Instiz: Nine Muses Sera getting hit

"The man in the gif seems to be her CEO... If he's willing to treat her like this on broadcast, imagine how he's like once the cameras are off?"

"Nine Muses CEO is known for hitting them and swearing at them at the smallest of mistakes."

"I remember those photos where he made them all line up in shorts and started criticizing them as if he were grading mannequins..."

"Yeah, I think their CEO's a bit abusive. I saw a clip where he was lightly slapping their legs once."

"He's famous for being a former gang member."

"With the way she's smiling, it looks like this happens often and she's just used to it now."

"His name's Shin Joo Hak and he's a former gang member, yup."

"Ugh, this upsets me so much.. Sera, you don't deserve that. Nine Muses, ZE:A, none of you do."

"With the way she closes her eyes right as he raises his hand makes it seem like he hits her often.. ㅠㅠ This is shocking."

"In the Star Empire documentary, it's not only the CEO.. The other staff members are all intimidating, too."

"I think he needs to relearn what it means to be a CEO... Being a CEO doesn't mean abusing your power like this."

Yuri to make big screen debut with 'No Breathing'

2013-05-16T11:30:00.000-04:00

Article: Soshi Yuri to star in 'No Breathing'... triangle relationship with Lee Jong Suk and Seo In Guk

Source: Star News via Nate

1. [+136, -77] I can kind of understand the decision after hearing that it's a movie about swimming because the Soshi members always praised Yuri for looking the most beautiful when swimming ㅋㅋ I guess we'll be able to see her swimming skills

2. [+129, -72] She has great actors like Lee Jong Suk and Seo In Guk to lead her and bring out some chemistry so I feel it'll be okay. First of all, the visuals are fantastic! Hopefully there will be swimsuit scenes?

3. [+118, -66] I remember reading somewhere that her character was a swimmer... maybe she's a musician who becomes a swimmer? Either way, looking forward to it

4. [+52, -18] At least visuals alone makes it worth watching ㅋㅋㅋ As for acting... I have to trust that they all got better.. not only Yuri but Lee Jong Suk isn't that great either ㅎㅎ

5. [+28, -15] I actually think the male leads aren't well known enough to be able to pull an entire movie on their own... Although the scriptwriter is famous, can the movie make a hit on just the scriptwriter's name alone?

Article: T-ara's agency arrests homepage hacker "17 year old high school student"

Source: Mydaily via Naver + Nate

1. [+5,173, -88] It was a mere student who had the skills to hack the homepage of a big agency. The future of Korea is still bright.

2. [+4,568, -89] We need more students like him in our country than people like T-ara... Let's make sure he starts a new life on the right foot.

3. [+4,041, -86] How crappily did they make the homepage that it was hackable by a high school student? ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+3,872, -65] I'd rather our youth hack websites than sit around stripping on webcam

5. [+3,250, -75] Seems like he's going to get hired by the government soon... The government always picks up people who get into the news for hacking ㅋㅋ

6. [+1,879, -25] If I were Kwang Soo, I wouldn't waste my time arresting the hacker but firing whoever made the damn website

7. [+1,128, -66] This guy's going to have a bright future ahead of him. Congrats on finding employment, kid!

8. [+1,109, -75] The kid deserves a brave citizen award~~~!!!!!!!!!

9. [+401, -16] Obviously the next step is CCM media playing about how they were going to punish him but the T-ara members opened up their hearts and decided to forgive him so they're canceling the lawsuit ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+293, -8] Kid, you may be 10 years younger than me but I gotta give you a pat on the back

Article: T-ara's agency "We have requested for favorable arrangements because the hacker has realized his mistake"

Source: Asia Economy via Naver

1. [+4,951, -184] He's obviously not in the wrong but he's gotta at least act like it to get off easy, you know?

2. [+4,768, -114] T-ara probably wants to beat him up on the inside but they're trying to keep up a good image so they're throwing around "favoralbe arrangements" ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+4,067, -126] A ploy to improve their image

4. [+2,445, -65] Yeah, he's too scared to go through with a lawsuit in case it gets confirmed that it really is Jiyeon on the webcam ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+2,356, -53] I don't get what the problem is here when the student merely uploaded a scene of Jiyeon "getting hot", right?

6. [+1,000, -33] Their next article will be "We have decided to forgive the hacker"

7. [+780, -36] Stop acting like you're nice

8. [+176, -5] And the hacker turns out to be Kwang Soo's long lost ba$tard son... dun dun dun!

Article: Taecyeon "The paparazzi pictures with Jessica, we just met while working out"

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+300, -30] If Dispatch says they're just friends, then they're just friends.. ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+239, -33] The reason I thought they were just friends and nothing more when I saw the photos was because Taecyeon was wearing some grandpa wife beater... and I thought yeah, they're too comfortable with each other to be anything more..

3. [+150, -48] What a stressful life for celebrities. Can't hang out with a woman or say a word without a string of articles coming out about it. Then you get hate for it and people believe it to be true, etc etc.. And it pisses you off but you can't even say anything about it because you're a public figure.. tsk tsk.

1. [+219, -27] Seriously, why does he call himself Jun. K? Such an embarrassing name

2. [+163, -17] Vote up if you think the name Jun. K is weird and vote down if you think it's lovely. He should've just named himself Jun Gay

3. [+96, -37] I'd be pissed too if someone I didn't know was randomly calling me stingy ㅋㅋㅋ

Article: 'Radio Star' 2PM responds to Tokyo Dome picture photoshop controversy "While editing the colors"

Source: OSEN via Nate

1. [+106, -45] JYP basically just took a dump on their own artist... 110,000 people did show up and it was just a section that was left empty. What kind of idiot would make a mistake like that when everyone knows that netizens are watching like a hawk these days. tsk tsk tsk JYP made a worthless decision.

2. [+127, -75] The photoshop was a mistake but the number of audience members was the truth. Why don't people ever acknowledge the good and always just focus on the bad... What's important here is that 110,000 people came over two days to their Tokyo Dome concert

3. [+46, -10] Yeah, I think they're being honest... Just that... JYP is going out of their way to do things that they know will garner hate. They suck at running business.

1. [+229, -68] I'm really not a 2PM fan but I think he responded well to his scandal with the volunteer work and charity donations. At least he reflected.... Why aren't the ones that actually need reflecting not reflecting... ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+195, -61] Doesn't really matter if he apologizes or not because people aren't going to accept it either way ㅋㅋ

3. [+262, -238] What other celebrity has done as much as Nichkhun has with reflection after drunk driving?? I think Nichkhun is just getting more hate because he's a foreigner~

Netizens boycott 'Yes', 'Yes' responds by taking down Hyosung's photos from homepage

2013-05-15T22:05:00.000-04:00

Reader request.

Random comments translated from 'Yes' Facebook page:

"There's a store in my neighborhood for the brand that Hyosung-ssi models for. Too bad because I believe their sales will go way down. How can you use a bug as a model? Although this puts the company in quite the predicament, I refuse to buy from a company that uses an Ilbe user as their model. This might lead to a boycott. Please cancel Jun Hyosung's contract."

"Please terminate your contract with Jun Hyosung, an Ilbe user. It's a misogynistic trash site. I refuse to be a customer to a company who contracts with a celebrity who uses such derogatory terms."

"I will be boycotting this lingerie brand for using an Ilbe user as their model."

Will CL be bringing something different to the table

2013-05-15T15:30:00.000-04:00

Article: Why is CL solo, what will be different?

Source: OSEN via Naver

1. [+751, -24] And Kang Seung Yoon will cry yet again today.

2. [+670, -69] All of the other female idols are either acting cutesy fake or acting like sl*ts with scraps of clothing so what crime did CL exactly commit? CL is unique. There's no bullying with 2NE1, they're not worked to death on variety shows, and they don't go into dramas with crappy acting skills. I feel like they're an overall wholesome group. I definitely prefer CL, who has a 'Made in Korea' face, as opposed to those other plastic surgery monsters.

3. [+645, -51] Looks like skills alone will be the one to factor into her success

4. [+676, -88] I feel like she would've done just as well had she debuted as a solo to begin with...

5. [+643, -75] CL is lacking in the visual department but her skills make up for it along with her unique fashion

6. [+577, -34] I'm older than CL but she has a force that just makes me have to call her unni...

7. [+506, -51] She's not pretty but she has a strong force to her.

8. [+485, -55] You have to admit that the industry has never seen a character like her before ㅋㅋ We've only ever seen female idols who act pretty or cute and can barely sing a line in a song but CL's decent at rapping, dancing, and singing, with good style to boot. I remember searching up 2NE1 the minute I saw their Fire debut stage.

9. [+302, -32] I don't know about her looks but I don't think there's another singer that can show as much on stage as CL can

10. [+269, -22] Honestly, judging on just music alone, I can imagine a 2NE1 without Sandara but I could never imagine a 2NE1 without CL

Source: Mydaily via Naver [2] [TRIGGER WARNING: homophobia]

1. [+914, -137] In my head, I feel like I can understand the sexual minority but looking at the last picture makes me want to throw up.

2. [+731, -83] Shouldn't have uploaded that last kiss photo... I admit that it's still hard for me to accept it...

3. [+762, -153] Are you kidding me with that last photo ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+673, -77] I know that the sexual minority deserve rights but... Can we take down that last picture... Naver also has users who are young kids, this is going to influence them..

5. [+552, -90] Did you have to upload that picture when kids read these articles too????

6. [+407, -110] Feeling disgusted by gay love is also our freedom and right so stop forcing us to acknowledge it. So disgusting.

7. [+764, -203] Hullllllllll~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this is making me puke~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. [+758, -215] This is so wrong... Their love may be precious to them but do they really want to pull something off like this when they know that people will think it's gross... Are they begging for attention..

9. [+627, -151] oh my god jesus

10. [+125, -12] I always used to tell everyone that I can understand gay love but... seeing it through a picture like this, I guess I can't..ㅜㅜ It's difficult to wrap my head around it
