IATFB — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 16:41:18 +0000

On February 14th, Soompi announced the integration of Image2Play into their site, a new bit of technology that was developed by their parent company, Enswers. Unsurprisingly, they hyped it up as an awesome new gadget that would improve the usability of their site. We are excited to announce the beta launch of Image2Play on Soompi!

4minute’s HyunA wants to have … uh … kinky sex with you

AIYA! TUC — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 12:41:08 +0000

4minute‘s HyunA recently tweeted a picture of herself assuming the “Superwoman” position. As many of us sexual deviants will note though, the term “Superwoman” is especially applicable to our resident pominute slut. For those of you lowly virgin folks out there, Urban Dictionary explains: So to recap, judging from this picture, we can tell that

Actress Sawajiri Erika can’t act and/or sucks in bed

IATFB — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 11:15:08 +0000

Given her sexualized bad girl image in Japan, one would assume that Sawajiri Erika would be a freak in bed. Well, either she has no idea what she’s doing in the sack or she’s just a horrid actress. Now that Ninagawa Mika has wrapped up filming her latest film, Helter Skelter, starring Sawajiri Erika. Rumors

Son Dambi is damn hot (AMIRITE?!) in Arena Homme

Oricon’s CEO thinks BEAST & T-ara could breakout & warns of K-pop oversaturation in Japan

IATFB — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 00:40:10 +0000

Oricon‘s CEO Ko Koike attended the 1st Gaon Chart K-pop Awards on February 22nd, and while there he gave his opinion on a variety of things regarding K-pop and the Japanese music market. Two things that clearly stood out though were his predictions for potential breakout stars in Japan and his warning to K-pop that

MBC uploads clip of “Quiz To Change The World” featuring blackface, nobody is amused

IATFB — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 15:32:44 +0000

So … that happened. In general terms, I quite enjoy watching MBC‘s “Quiz To Change The World” when they have my favorite celebrities on, because it’s usually entertaining fare. However, a little over a week ago, MBC’s official YouTube channel uploaded a clip from the January 21st, 2012 episode of the show that included dancing/singing

m-flo’s “She’s So” proves that the 2NE1 collaboration should never have happened

IATFB — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 13:33:48 +0000

To be clear, the song is mediocre for m-flo‘s standards in general, but I believe 2NE1 took them out of their otherwise successful collaboration element. It’s not only that 2NE1 was mediocre on the track, it’s that Taku Takahashi seemed to produce the song in a way that was a mish-mash of what m-flo usually

Han Heejun goes through to the Top 24 on “American Idol”

IATFB — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 10:51:33 +0000

Jeremy Lin isn’t the only Asian American balling the fuck out on national television in the United States, as the “American Idol” hopeful Han Heejun made it through to the Top 24. Word

Block B’s P.O. being admitted to the hospital does little to curb netizen witch hunt

RISKCAUTION — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 08:28:03 +0000

One would think that if an idol group member was driven to so much emotional shock and pain that they were admitted to a hospital and diagnosed with stress induced mental trauma (reports say a minor type of schizophrenia), that even the most hardcore of netizens would back the fuck off. Yeah … about that.

Davichi’s Kang Minkyung bends her back to achieve S-line, so I invent the P-line

IATFB — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 00:47:32 +0000

Apparently this is Davichi‘s Kang Minkyung with an S-line body. Wearing only a body suit, Minkyung displayed her flawless S-line figure that invoked envy amongst the female staff members on set. A representative from DHC Korea remarked, “We kept a close eye on her as she always stood out with her blemish-free, milky skin. But

In case you were wondering why netizens in Asia appear insane…

IATFB — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:05:22 +0000

It’s because … uh … they sort of are. The trend, which has spawned a little industry of specialist lunch providers, reflects the desire of many South Korean fans to nourish their idols rather than just shower them with gifts they probably don’t want. “Eat rice, cheer up and be strong, that’s the message I

AKB48′s Maeda Atsuko to show her T&A in “Bukiyou” photobook

IATFB — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:46:02 +0000

On March 16th, AKB48 member Maeda Atsuko will be flashing her boobs and butt in “Bukiyou“, her new photobook. I’ve never found her all that hot, but the pictures released so far are promising

Jessica Gomes in the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

IATFB — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 07:35:16 +0000

How is this connected to Asian Junkie? Well, Jessica Gomes modeled in Korea for a while and was on the Korean version of “Dancing With The Stars“. Yeah, that’s it. That’s my excuse. Let’s run with that&#

[Review] [Album] John Park – “Knock”

IMMATOP — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 02:42:10 +0000

It’s been over a year since Superstar K2 runner up John Park last dropped a single (“I’m Your Man“), and I think John did good in waiting this long because what he released this week is absolutely beautiful. Listening to John Park’s newest mini album, “Knock“, it feels like he has completely reinvented his style.

[Review] [Music Video] Big Bang – Blue

IATFB — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:18:33 +0000

Big Bang makes their much anticipated return from controversy with “Blue“, and it’s a well crafted, well shot, and aesthetically pleasing music video, something a lot of music videos simply don’t possess. However, it’s cheesy, slow, and plays more as a tribute to New York than Big Bang. Yeah, that about sums it up. —–

[Review] [Music Video] miss A – Touch

IATFB — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:06:55 +0000

While I love miss A, I’ve never found any one member particularly talented in a star quality sort of way. That used to bother me, but recently I’ve been thinking it might be a part of their success, as they’ve worked extremely well as a combination unit in “Bad Girl, Good Girl“, “Breathe“, and “Good

2PM’s Nichkhun just went from being hypocritically annoying to a smug asshole

IATFB — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 07:56:23 +0000

As you may have already heard by now, video of Block B crossing the line between trolling and just being assholes was recently revealed to the public, and the group is being torched for it basically everywhere. From the start of this controversy this was all on the shoulders of Block B, all of it.

What do you think about the rumored schedule of K-pop debuts & comebacks for 2012?

IATFB — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 01:29:13 +0000

Assuming this is true (which is admittedly a gigantic assumption), March is packed to shit with activity. Most importantly, EXO finally debuts, which means they can stop releasing 500 fucking teasers. Additionally, and this deserves a line of its own, Shinhwa is coming back, which you kiddies need to pay attention to because they are

Johnny’s Entertainment uses money from Marching J charity … to buy pandas

IATFB — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:13:01 +0000

No no no, I’m not trolling, they seriously used the money on fucking pandas. A charity established by a talent agency to support reconstruction in the northeast expects to shoulder several billion yen of the cost of leasing giant pandas from China for a zoo in Sendai. Singer Masahiko Kondo, 47, who represents the Marching

Bias Tracker: Odd Coverage Of 2PM’s Nichkhun’s CF By Soompi Reveals Anti-Japan Bias

IATFB — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:04:27 +0000

A few people on staff have been monitoring a disturbing trend for a while now, but it never became so apparent as it did when the controversy over 2PM‘s Nichkhun‘s Thai commercial was covered by both allkpop and Soompi. We were waiting for the story to be published ever since we saw it hit the

Kara’s Hara’s DSP Media contract not set to expire, contrary to previous reports

IATFB — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:01:16 +0000

Sports Chosun recently reported that Kara‘s Hara‘s contract with DSP Media would be ending soon, setting off a bit of a firestorm of speculation as to what will happen to the group given their past contractual disputes. allkpop translated that article and the international Kamilia fandom went insane. It was revealed today that the ‘Invincible

Public Service Announcement: Regarding Politics, Keep Your Idol Desires Out Of It

IATFB — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:15:18 +0000

The labor strike at MBC has continued on into its third week, causing production to stall on popular shows like “We Got Married” and “Infinity Challenge“. Fans of the shows, as you would expect, are pissed because they can’t watch their idols and other celebrities. It’s getting to the point where viewers are becoming infuriated.

[Review] [Single] Big Bang – “Blue”

IMMATOP — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:19:19 +0000

Introducing the greatest thing to have graced your ears in the last month: Big Bang‘s lead single, “Blue“! I find it interesting that YG Entertainment is leading their comebacks with ballads. Having been known as the pseudo-hip hop headquarters of K-pop for God knows how long, YG is making very different moves these days, transitioning
