Epik Highs Tablo has finally tied the knot with his girlfriend and mother of his coming child Kang HyeJung!

I love this shot

I want that cake

Congratulations to the couple who have already headed off for their honeymoon! They look sincerely happy and I wish them the best of luck!

As usual a celebrity wedding is a star studded event and peoples outfits make you wonder if they think Weddings are a casual event, but this year I picked out one outfit that made me worried for a talented celeb.

I was kidding before when I said that Ha Jiwon is homeless, but you would think after the amount of moolah her last super hit movie Haeundae made she would buy herself something purdy.

Yet it seems like one of our favorite method actresses has been caught red handed rummaging through the “Take Care of Lady” closet and stole an outfit Yoon EunHye was wearing earlier on in the Drama Series.

KBS should tighten security.

This photo shoot has been out for a while but I will not pass up an opportunity to critique it.

For “W” magazine the 2NE1 girls were made to dress up in a “gangster” theme, although it’s obvious only one person really looked at home with the “weaponry” it didn’t make things any less interesting for the group as a whole.

My favorite of the shoot, CL of course.

With all that major Photo shop I thought she was Hyori.

Now, tell me you don’t see a very important part of the human body missing? It seems that CL does not own a bellybutton making her never really “born”, prompting me to come to my very own unlikely theories.

My favorite being that CL was made as a clone with a strand of G-Dragons hair when one day visiting Japan. After unknowingly being the base for a new species, the Japanese Yakuza applied a special chemical known to the world as “Chemical X”, thus coming to life as YGs resident female rapper. To be more accurate her clone label is actually GM for “Genetically Modified”. HooHa. And has since been planted in Korea by the Japanese to spy on the K-Scene. Who would every suspect a KPop star as a spy?

The rest didn’t pull off the bad ass weapon look better than CL, mind you she is the one most likely to have a criminal record.

Minjy is working the hair and attire but looks extremely awkward with the cowboy gun..

Shoot the other fella and not your feet cowgirl

Bom looks like she’ll rip you a new pair with that look…

You don’t look so badass with the Taj Mahal tattooed on your back though

Dara looks like Andre Kims South African cousin..

Staying up late had it’s toll on her

Your thoughts?

Well, Congratulations to them firstly, it is an amazing feat since they’ve done more than most K-Crossovers over the last few years. JYP held a press conference for the girls last week in Seoul and mentioned how they will be concentrating on the Western World with the Wonders and will not be further promoting in Korea. Since I prefer them in Korea it’s a darn shame, nonetheless there was something in that conference that made me blink twice, and that was YooBin.

Loving the look not the makeup

YooBin sported a new haircut framing her face and making her look fabulous yet I swear I’ve seen it all before and then I realised the insane resemblance little Miss YooBin has to cutesy pop star IU. For sake of funsies they shall be called I-Yoo.

Those two could be sisters. O_O

The Mnet Asian Music Awards.

After the sudden and somewhat shocking announcement that the MKMFs were coming to a close after their 10 year anniversary celebration last year, many people were left wondering what would take the place of the dodgy but youth representative end of year Award show. It had been full of plenty of controversies over the years, my favorite, Lee MinWoo throwing a tantrum and leaving JYP to stand on stage looking like a lonely freak show act (or more accurately have that performance cancelled, I prefer my turn of events albeit delusional). Many people thought that some companies could “buy” awards and that the “rules” were only followed for Mnets best interest.

Well that reputation ends and Mnet is trying to renew things with a new stupidly named award show. MAMA is what they’re marketing it as. When I was online a week ago on Naver search, I was wondering why on Earth people wanted to know what MAMA was. Only to leave myself thinking it must be a lot of people on remedial English class. But then when I bothered to check today, I found it as the replacement show.

I don’t know why Mnet would cancel MKMF (except for the controversy but every show has their share, perhaps it will give birth to Korea’s own Kanye West? A K-Blogger can only dream), but all eyes on this baby till it finally airs.

Last years ceremony was a mess and looked rushed, unorganised and sorta cheap so hopefully MAMA will be a better and more entertaining offering. Mnet if you need any help I have a whole list of improvements for you ready at a moments notice.

Anyhow Mnet has not really started things on a mature note, they’ve gotten peoples feathers ruffled with their JaeBom marketing strategies. LOL.

“We want him there!”  Is what they’re screaming.  Making fans think that perhaps JaeBom will be making his comeback on their stage.  And a comeback seems somewhat likely and unlikely according to JYPE.  But then again JYPE don’t really say much so JaeBom showing up anywhere is really possible but not possible at the same time (see what I did there?).

I don’t really care for their strategies to get people watching, but I am wondering on one thing.  Is Mnet sticking to their 9 month ban on SM Entertainment artists?  If that’s the case will they also opt for the “no show- no award” rule?  So even if you vote for an SM artist they wont win?  I imagine it would be a better show all round though, what with all the controversies surrounding SM artists now, as Martha would say  “it’s a good thing.”  That and everyone else will have a better evening and a shot at winning (since SM are up there with the buying trophies controversies).

To find out whose up for awards and to vote go to mama.mnet.com 

So who is your MAMA?

What the hell died on MinHos head?

I didn’t even know these cute little boys were on their way back. But I guess with one group suing you and the other having someone get charged with DUIs while half are in China, SM needed to have someone back and fast. All these new boybands debuting must have made their panties twist.

I know what they do with their roadkill when they travel

Problem though, what the hell have they coughed out? Recycled image, recycled outfits and recycled song? These little ones deserve much better and they look so awkward with the new “concept”.

The video has a slight feel of Mirotic and the hair is so bad I truly wish they’d shave bald. Especially JongHyun and MinHo, I can’t figure out whose got the worst tresses. And the dance moves are definitely lol-worthy. If there is something Im sure they can all do, it’s dance, so why make them circle their pelvises in a perverted old man fashion? O_O

And there is no way in hell SME can try and market these boys as men. They look like they found their way in their Moms makeup bag and decided to play dress up with their Emo cousins clothes.

And the song…. OH THE SONG! It sounded like it was produced by this guy.

Yes, it’s a boy

SM looked to have conjured up the Crazy frog from Pop Hell and instead of burying that disaster have made it work for them by producing the chorus.

Don’t know what I’m talking about?  Go here to see and hear the resemblance, you will regret it.

Ah well, at least we get to see them active, it’s nice to see some sweet familiar faces, albeit with some ugly hair styles and mismatched clothing. Yeah its nice to have clothes look good altogether but they need to match the face and personality.

80s revival is so last summer.

Their mini album is called “Year of Us”.  And SM, stop trying to make them grow up so quickly, those TohoShinki moves and hairdos from their J-parade does not suit them.  They may be the farmers’ DBSK but they are SHINee who have their own sparkle.

And major majorl lols at the attempt of hypnotism with “fantastic, elastic”x12.

I guess he’s not that innocent…~”

For his comeback KangIn should sing that song for New Years With a Britney wig and hot pants.

How’s that for redemption, hooya!

There’s a lesson to learn here Kangers, don’t turn to drink when you’re upset.

Anyhow, he did it again, KangIn of Super Junior got himself in trouble with the law and frankly, it makes me think he’s not alright in the head.  I missed it last time because I had a life, and this weekend I did too, such a shame… A social life, no?

Anyways, how stupid do you have to be to get involved in two drunk-themed instances with the Police without that much time between them.  Your first time may have been in “self defence”, although we never got to see the CCTV footage, but two drunken escapades that involve law breaking make a pattern.  Oooh what a wild Idol, he has a record.  If this was somewhere else besides South Korea, he’d be a Legend.

I actually like KangIn, he’s a good guy, or at least he seems like one but a DUI?  Really?  And then for fear of getting caught he ran off although he hit a Taxi?  What a coward.  Apparently his blood alcohol level was so high it was enough to get his licence revoked.

But at least he turned himself in.  O_o  Six hours later… Maybe he hopped out the car to sleep on a park bench?

Criminal activity 101, if you start running never turn back.   But I guess the point here is that he was panicked and didn’t mean it.  Oh KangIn you need psychological help dear.  I guess G-Draco isn’t the most troubled Idol out there.  (Why do I have so much trouble calling him an Idol?)

Trust SME though to have things covered, as soon as everything happened they stood firmly and spoke out publicly (oh some other companies should take out their pencils and take notes) and made sure to make the boy undergo some much needed “self discipline”.  I.e.  “we’ll whip ya to shape boyo!” I see Papa SooMan doing it now in his KangNam lair, overlooking his evil assistants whip him… But wait… didn’t the incident happen in KangNam?

Is KangIn covering up for our favorite Oompa Loompa Dark Lord? (I told you Willy Wonka they’d turn against us all one day) Oooooh what a conspiracy theory this has become.

Anyhow, I should end this on a serious note, KangIn was far more than foolish and he deserves much punishment for what he’s done, he will be on hiatus til the end of the year in order to “self reflect”.   He did also apologize on the groups official website.  This is an obvious cry for help and the boy seems to have a lot of emotional problems, SME needs to sort their artists out before this happens again.  We have seen this before with an SME artist.  Both the company and artist should be held accountable and both should set out to make things better.

What a bad year this is for BoyBands.  Run and hide in the hills boys there’s voodoo being do-ed.

They’re gonna get ya!

B2ST, who I always read as Beast (don’t blame me they put a two in their name which in Korean is pronounced as “ee”), will be debuting soon a long side rivals (already?) MBLAQ. And like MBLAQ they have a ridiculously stupid name.

oh the horrible outfits

Get this, it stands for “Boys to search for TOP” (you should have gotten that by now), and Big Bangs resident rapper should run to the hills to hide away from these boys who practice their ninja skills in underground tunnels. They seem determined, look at their practice video for TOPs capture here:

I got bored, real quick.

And at least get a clean version CUBE Entertainment. Kiddies, put it on mute

I don’t know what to really expect but I know the guy, formerly known as AJ, has some decent dance moves and looks like TaeYang.  Also, one guy used to be from Big Bang, so he has reason to hunt him down, goodness knows why… T.O.P do you owe anyone moneys?

From their MTV show

The group is full of people that failed to make it first time round, so rejects that have passion baby. And knowing people that didn’t get in first time can still prove to be talented and very very determined, I’m keeping an eye on these fellas. There’s an ex-Xing member, ex Big Bang, ex soloist and two ex- hot blooded boys.. So, an already existing fanbase, nice idea.

With Child of Empire (by the ingenious Star Empire E) coming out soon there should be a lot of boys to keep the girls happy, the boys had their fun earlier this year.

And I really want to write an angry complaint letter to all these production companies with bad names for their groups. It’s getting annoying already, make sense if you’re gonna use English! GAH!

MBLAQ which stands for ‘Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality’…. I know, wtf…?  Or if you prefer MBLAH, Music boys love in absolute harmony (Now that’s a manga group name to be proud of). Jtunes, which always sounded like a cartoon company to me, AKA Senior Rains companys’ little boy group project will be debuting officially soon.

One of their members recently got some major coverage for being related to a female star. Apparently he replaced one of the other members previously written up as an MBLAQ member. (The ex-member will be crying his eyes out in a year or twos time and be debuting in a group like B2ST, haha.  Them and their DA-DA-DANCING SHOooEs…. A.J. changed his name cos of Paran fans and now I don’t know what he is anymore .)

Back on track, I am not talking about Bae ChulYoung aka Mil or whatever (Go EunAhs’ little brother) but ChanDong (Park SangHyun)…

Have you guessed who yet?

Sandara Park of 2NE1 tiny and long little brother. Who kinda looks like Kim JongHoon of U.N. It’s probably the lip gloss and the poutiness.

Since I couldn’t tell who from who, (except the guy with a moustache and peekaboo chest hair, yay for differentiation), we’re lucky to have another famous ladies little brother in the mix, and to kindly pick up the age quota to legal. Cos goodness knows noonas are not diggin the ones that are too young, I’m looking at you Taemin and little guy who debuted at 13, where are you anyway?

They showcased their dancing and singing abilities as Rains opening acts for his “Legend of Rainism” tour. Does he really want that title, really?  Well when you read the song titles of MBLAQ you’ll get that ‘Legend of Rainism‘ is the best of the lot. Their two songs are “Oh YEAH!” and “Good Love”, as in “OH YEAH! for the GOOD LOVE of God change our name”. So thanks for reminding me, cos MBLAQ is a horrible name for such a pretty boy group. And can I take a second and be totally shallow…

WHERE IN THE MANGA HAVE THEY FOUND THESE GUYS?! And if you have a “Manga to Human” machine goodness knows I could use it. I’m hoping its not just photo shop and angles working their magic cos they tend to make you blink and stare.

They all look like they’re the same guy with small differences, those jaw lines and those noses and eyes… Just like the Manga Lord made them.

Not that I’m really that shallow but some nice eye candy wouldn’t hurt every once in a while.  It gets old when you have to get to know people and love them inside and then out. Oh dear it really is tiring being sentimental rather than completely superficial!

Watch them go “Oh Yeah” back and forth and back and forth and those long legs and bodies are making them seem even more Manga like.

Hey Rain, I’m gonna so break in to your idol factory and steal that machine.  I have stacks of manga to get working on. Cheers for the epiphany you made me realise with those pics and videos. Here’s to hoping they don’t disappoint and they have personalities as well as looks.

Oh yeah and some talent too.

Can you believe it? Another celebrity admitting to lying about their age.

Narsha of Brown Eyed Girls admitted on  SBS’ new show “Strong Heart” that she was actually born in 1981 as opposed to 1983.

Hot damn sister, I know that 2 years isn’t too much but that significantly changes what in the decades you’re in. HAH. Well kind of, she said she was in fact 29 turning 30.

They’re the same age!

Turns out that those three are all born in 1981, juicy eh?

Next up Ga-In (1987? STFU!) should admit her real age and we’re all set for an honest bunch of girls women.

Her company was the one to change the age and she finally was comfortable enough as an artist to admit her age.  Funnily enough I remember a Star Golden Bell episode where veteran singer pervert Kim GunMo mentioned how she would age in to beauty.  Well GunMo, is she beautiful in your eyes yet?  She just aged two years in the blink of an eye.  Or both my eyes, repeatedly.
Of course she isn’t the first and I can’t blame her considering that it’s the companies that change the ages to be able to market artists to a younger (and a more money spending crazy) market.  But damn, I still couldn’t help but be shocked.

Or was he forced out?!  Another conspiracy theory to go with the rest of them this year.

JeDong who has been MCing the show for 4 years has suddenly announced his departure on this weeks filming, and the show airing on the 12th will be his last as MC.

Now, I have been watching this show for YEARS and the best thing about is JeDong, his professionalism, comedy and ability to make all the guests comfortable with his witty quips.  He’s been a great trooper and super awesoem sport from day 1 and it is so sad to watch him go so suddenly.

KBS has done this before, taking away an extraordinary MC for a long running show with little valid reason.  Earlier this year they removed Yoon Do Hyun from his extremely popular and majorly long running show “Yoon Do Hyuns Loveletter” because they were getting cheap cutting back, which coincidently had JeDong an MC on it too in the earlier shows.  They had to change Hosts for the late night live music show twice since his departure and go figure.  It’s not entirely clear why he has left the show but I am not the only one that’s outraged.

Fans have complained on the shows website and Novelist Lee OiSoo (Grandpa G-Draco aka G-Randpa) also posted how unimpressed he is with KBS by writing about it on his twitter page.  How cool is he?

I can’t hide my disappointment, can I? the
